Last I heard, there were no genuine, intact Beatles-signed guitars known. The only one was reportedly destroyed in a Malibu, Calif. landslide about 15 years ago.
RR Auction sold one a Beatles signed guitar around 2010, but the owner had tapped the autographs down with an awl to, um, "preserve them."…

Hello I had you as a friend here but now i can not see you on my friends list. I dont know why but I can not edit any post still in the firsts minutes. Thanks
Hi! Can you delete my linkin park posting. I found someone outside already to purchase it. sorry. Thanks!
I have a huge collection of Tupac autographs and historical writings that were written and signed by his hand, in las Vegas NV, about July 4, 1996. It is the largest collection of Tupac known and the most significant besides his BMW that recently came up for sale. The collection Includes four hand signed 2pac autographs, two signed Tupac Shakur autographs, 10 2over notations in Tupacs handwriting, and numerous other notations written in 2pacs hand. Including "Homeo Sexual Dog", ten "2over", Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino, two Makaveli, Three Eric B., three Rakim, one Big Daddy Kane, four 50 Cent, 3 Quincy Delight Jones, seven Magic 1 # One "Zero Eight", and four "Easy E". The collection should be in the Rock N Roll hall of Fame. It would be a shame if this collection does not end up there.
Hi Steve!

Thank you my friend!
Hey Steve, I've finally got the time to get that Queen study guide done if youd still like that put together for the site. I know when we discussed it last, you wanted it posted on a sister site so please let me know what your thoughts are on it and I'll start piecing it together for whatever site youd like it on. Thanks.
G'day Steve and a very merry Christmas to you and all the best for 2018. Thanks for the heads up on that item from Payne :) Cheers, David

The ones on the back are fine....from April 5, 1962 at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. They were about to travel to play at the Star Club in Hamburg...it was when they arrived they found out that Stu Sutcliffe had passed away on April 10, 1962. This was "Beatles Fan Club Night". They wanted to thank the kids for all their support before they went off the Germany. The first set...they wore their leather clothes, and for the second set, their wore their new Beno Dorn suits.
This guy was great!
I posted last week and got two very good feedback answers..
