What do you think? Another apparently unknown fully signed Beatles guitar? Billiard balls? That Lennon doodle look absurd to me. If I were you I'd be emailing Mr. Roberto Rabanne. That is his name, not Robert Rabbane. Actually, I'd still be taking that source/seller up in his refund offer while you can. The "...I'd keep it, but do what you want..." line, after saying Roberto knows he sold way to cheap - that is a final nail to my ears - not in the terminal coffin of authenticity that guitar lies in because the guitar is simple foolishness, but the mode of operation. The tactics. Changed stories, untrue claims, all of it.  

Beatles...Lennon...Ono - an Ono quote from the Lennon Live at MSG Concert/Benefit that comes to mind is "Wake up, NOW!".

I guess Roberto Rabbane has fallen on bad times to be offering all these fakes? Seems like at his age he wouldn't be risking his reputation like that. Selling fake items and fake COA's! Must be something going on with him that the public is not privy to? Not to mention the Auction Company who may or may not be aware that everything they are selling for Roberto Rabbane is fake. they have a relatively good reputation and reviews. Seems like a big risk to their reputation also. I just do not understand? Must be desperate times to perpetrate a fraud this size, because they sold dozens more of Beatles autographed pictures and albums from this "supposed" Robbanne collection with more to come!

It is difficult to take you seriously at this point. Good luck.

Sorry if I am being annoying not as wise as you all are here! This is my first rodeo with Beatles Memorabilia,so being new to this,what I am gathering is that pretty much everything Beatles Autographed offered for sale on the Internet is 99% fake? Isn't that larceny? Aren't there legal repercussions for this behavior?

He obtained two fully-signed Beatles guitars, each with a Ringo signature from a different period, and both are signed “Riigo”? LOL.

Which begs the question, Why would Roberto Rabbane and the Auction company try to pass these off with fake COA's as real and ruin their reputation/

The ONLY question that is begged is this: Why are not getting the refund offered? 

I can't keep up with this - which Auction House again?

Doug, please, just get your refund, if that offer is even genuine. Learn later (but before buying anything else)...refund now - ASAP.
