Appreciate Referral

I'd appreciate a referral to a company or person that could authenticate & appraise Kurt Cobain's signature. Since I'd like to sell it, any advise on how to do that or who to contact would be helpful.

I'm a big nirvana fan and my concern is that this is the first time of hearing this story of a smashed guitar. It would have been published in every magazine since 94 if it were real.

What you could do is take the guitar to a local music store just to find out if it's a real fender guitar, anyone who plays should be able to tell you.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your help with my request to locate ways to authenticate the guitar. As for my next steps, I plan to take it to the PSA convention on Sept. 17 through 19 in Long Beach for authentication & hopefully submission to an auction house. Also, I've dropped the guitar off at a friend's place since he's in the music industry currently. He's offered to check into it, & I trust him. So, I've broken inertia on my plans to sell it.

Again, thanks,

Linda

If it were mine I would. 1 establish that it is indeed a genuine fender guitar. 2 find out if that music person its signed to is a actual person in the industry. 3 If he is a real person contact him to find out about the guitar and his story. 4 Than if they check out go to an authenticator.

Some people put so much faith into authenticators without doing their own homework. Authenticators sometimes get it wrong but they do often get it right. If psa dna passed your guitar without being a real fender it would be a joke and if they failed it and it were a real fender with the likely hood that the history checks out it would be a joke also. When the 90s become the 60s down the track im sure they will start to take a bit more interest when 90s autographs become really valuable.
