Paul McCartney autograph guitar

I recently purchased an Epiphone Les Paul Jr guitar that appears to by signed by Paul McCartney. There is a hologram sticker on the back side of the body  AGS 34169 Atlanta's Genuine Signatures.. I cannot find any information on this company, apparently they are no longer in business. Any ideas on how I can get the signature verified real or fake? I did some research and found another Epi LP JR that has the same AGS sticker and a matching COA that was signed by Paul McCartney. I know a lot of artists sign cheaper model guitars to use for charity auctions and such. Would like to find out if this is one of them. 

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the signature definitely doesn’t look authentic to me. I wouldn’t waste any money on authentication.

I agree with Ballroom. This is definitely not real in my opinion. Did you buy it from a charity auction?

When and where did you buy it and how did you pay?

It was a cash purchase from a private party, I didn't buy it because it was signed. In fact, I contemplated removing the signature.  I bought it because I was in the market for a Les Paul Jr to modify and play.

It was not marketed as an authentic signature on the guitar.

Why did you buy this?

See above, it was an inexpensive Les Paul Jr model that I planned to modify. I didn't buy it for the signature.
