AC/DC signed guitar - Is it real? I'm confused :-(

Hi Everyone :-)

I was wanting to buy this beautiful red SG Guitar signed by AC/DC but I have had conflicting opinions on it and those conflicting opinions have come from both reputable big name 3rd party authenticators as well as highly regarded and well respected AC/DC collectors who specialise in collecting AC/DC signed items.

I now have a huge dilemma in whose opinion I should trust as being accurate. I really love this signed guitar but find it hard to commit to the sale when some are saying they think it's fake and others are saying it's the real deal. One very reputable AC/DC collector said he was so convinced it was the real deal that if he were in the market for a signed AC/DC guitar that he'd buy it himself yet a highly respected authenticator said his opinion was that it was 'not likely authentic'.

Who to believe?!?! If anyone would like to have a look at this signed SG guitar please let me know your thoughts and why you think it's genuine or not. Link below.

Oh I should mention I own this particular signed AC/DC guitar pictured above. It was approved as authentic by both Roger Epperson and PSA/DNA. It's the real deal! ;-)

Compare this one to the other one I like on Rock Star Gallery (see link on my original post) and yes I'm certainly leaning towards what allot of people are saying here in this forum that the signatures on the red SG guitar on Rock Star gallery are indeed fake.

This is clearing up allot of my confusion. Thanks guys :-)

Who was the third party authenticator who said that was real? That seller is garbage.

A collector and a authenticator did but also was failed by a collector and an authenticator so hence the confusion for me. Although now I feel it's a fake. Out of respect I will not name the authenticator or collector as it's just an opinions game in the end.

I don't care about the collector but the authenticator should be named because that's a terrible mistake.

Mike T, I assume you mean the red SG guitar on Rock Star Gallery and not the one I own that I posted a pic of?
In regards to naming the authenticator. No I just won't do that terrible mistake or not. Either way I'm convinced now the red SG on Rock Star Gallery is a fake.

Everything on that website is fake, I find it very hard to believe a reputable authenticator said they were real.

Are you calling me a liar Mike?! Well I'm certainly not and take offence! Anyway I came here for friendly advice and not rude accusations. Yes this was taken to 3 different authenticators for quick opinion. Until now I was getting polite advice and opinions on this forum but certainly don't take nicely to your insinuation that I've somehow made this up. FFS!

You said both reputable TPAs had conflicting opinions, so that means either PSA failed it and JSA passed it or vice versa. Why is it so hard to say which one?

Brad, are you trigger happy? Cause such acccusations are a bit early to start...after all he could justy be saying you are ignorant of reputable authenticators...

Sling, You seem to be the "trigger happy" guy here. If you don't have positive input and an opinion on the red SG guitar on Rock Star Gallery then I'm not really interested in what you've got to say at all to be honest. You're simply stirring the pot it seems. And no I've done my research very well and know who the reputable authenticators are. End of story! Keep your opinions directed to the AC/DC SG Guitar on Rock Star Gallery which this post was about or go elsewhere please.
