Is this a real Jimi Hendrix Experience Autographed guitar??

My wife purchased this Jimi Hendrix Experience autographed guitar for me. Can I get your thoughts, it comes with authentication papers, but this is my first foray into music memorabilia, I only own sports memorabilia. This was a significant purchase...Thoughts??

Here's the best guitar smash of all time. In Hateful Eight, Kurt Russell smashed an original, $50,000, 145 year old Martin guitar. The film crew used the real thing as a prop. It was supposed to be switched out before Kurt smashed it!

MMP Collectibles is the original seller. The buyer got his money back.

Can I ask how these people (MMP) are allowed to trade and are not in prison for ridiculous and transparent fraud on a massive scale? Other than their Butcher "signed " Beatles' LPs at jaw-droppingly low prices they have this reduced Bowie gem on "offer" amongst other embarrassing fakes. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say the forger was writing 95 instead of 75 (which it looks like).

Sadly well-meaning partners who buy stuff like this Hendrix s**t are not to know that Sharpies were not around in the late 60's - thank goodness that the OP got their money back, but the fact it is back on the website is further criminality...

It's very hard to get a prosecuting attorney to take forgery cases to court, because they're complicated to prove, so law enforcement usually doesn't want to investigate them either.

I would love to think that these MMP one's would be a quick open and shut case.

These are atrociously bad.

And I would think easy pickens for the forensics team. Heck they could put a case together over morning coffee. I'm sure a jury of 12 year old kids could figure these one's out.

If so little can be done about all this, that's not a good sign for the future of legitimate autograph collecting
