The Edge is absolutely fake.  First thing I noticed as soon as I clicked the link.

The whole thing is likely fake - almost inevitably no chance at being real.  All those names signing with the exact same pen?  Page flat out won't sign anymore, and I know Edge (an otherwise decent signer) does not like signing guitars.

He probably bought it for a few hundred bucks and thought he got a steal.

I agree with Rich. The chances of getting all these legends and signing with basically the same pen is impossible. And the ones I know are all slightly off, particularly Townsend.

Yeah, I thought so. He did say they signed it at a charity event but i'm not even sure all these guys have been together in the same room ever.

Do you know what type of event, or who was sponsoring it?  There are several scams going around in which companies peddling fake autographed memorabilia are "supporting" charitable causes by setting up these auctions.  The memorabilia is always fake across the board.

Here's one such instance:

COA appears to be a from a fake company, or some incredibly small business that most certainly never bought and sold authentic high-end memorabilia.

This thing should be destroyed. Or at least clean off the silver writing on the body of the guitar.
