This isn’t authentic IMO. I modified the title and moved this to the Hendrix forum.

Hey, man, I appreciate your opinion. It's lot better paying $300 and then you get slapped in the face by Beckett's. I appreciate your man. Thank you. Really thought? I had a piece of music history there. Can you explain to me why you don't think it's authentic? I really like to know.

 I'm not such a guessing. You are anything I know you know what you're talking about?tttuuga

this is  not genuine, unfortunately

It looks stiffly drawn and misshapen, and kind of resembles a known forgery style. What really sticks out to me about the inscription is the incorrectly formed second “A” in “Always.”

its also very hesitantly written and doesnt flow correctly

Yes, the ink flow is too heavy.

im not trying to be a pest but he isnt signing a piece of paper to be able to sign the ukelele his wrist would be up in the air not resting on a table top you dont think that it effected the way he signed his name

The ink flow here is a sign of a slowly signed signature. If signed as you describe it would be faster - not slower. Not hesitant as Michelle pointed out.

"i figured it might be real the rest of items from the estate sold for a pretty good penny"

That does not equate to any of it being good, just that items sold. What may I ask did you pay?

Agreed. Not his hand. No known examples either AFAIK.

Alright, man, thank you.
