Thanks so much Richard and Ian, bullet dodged.  I really appreciate your opinions, and quick reply.   Someone paid 5700 plus fees, terrible....

That's an Anthony Nurse special right there (AutographStore.com , CharityGrow.com, https://www.cfr1.org/ ) ,

An interesting article about him and his company:

Has anyone contacted charitybuzz.com and the company that listed it?  They've been slipping lately allowing these types of consignment items into the fold.

CharityBuzz is a legit operation and Springsteen has used them many times for his charity auctions. Really surprised they were duped into auctioning this Anthony Nurse fake Stones signed guitar with a worthless COA from their favorite "forensic police investigator"

Here is the CharityBuzz contact page.  If enough people contact them with news of this fraud it would be helpful.  I just did.

I also contacted them and asked them how they vet the stuff on their website, they said it was up to the charity to do that, in this case it was a charity called Rock and Roll for Children.  I contacted them as well, voice mail.  I also called RM Real the company that provided the "verification", no response, voice mail.  I buy from them from time to time and was very disappointed in their response.

You mean the response you got was that it's not up to them, not "My response..." right? You can edit it or I can if that's right.

Two dead giveaways, without even examining the signatures for authenticity. Appears to be all in the same hand and more importantly, not a one of them signed the pick guard? The Silver ink still would have shown well. I can't imagine that.
