Authentic??

In 2008, I bought a"Grammy " guitar signed by a number of International artists, from American Royal Arts Corp in Fort Lauderdale.

In addition, I bought a signed and framed Wilburys Album.

I have recently discovered that American Arts Corp and their "forensic examiner" Christopher Morales, may place the authentication of the products into question.

Would appreciate expert opinion on this please.

So sorry - with those two names I don't see how this can end well.

Legit? Not in this lifetime and not in this universe. Even if you are not taking any look at the item itself there are a bunch of the hardest to get autographs out there on one piece. Speeking of McCartney, Nicks or Mullen. A real piece like this would probably hit easy the 100.00 US$ mark. I asume you paid less. And yes the signatures I know well on it look all off

Many thanks for your input - paid $7k for the guitar and another $4k for the "signed" Wilburys album.

ARA has scammed so many people -- sorry you got burned. I'd say get your money back but they went out of business years ago after lawsuits. They were infamous for selling TONS of forgeries -- I've never seen anything they sold that was authentic.
