Let's refer to them as "Cream electric" "White Electric" and Acoustic.  Unusual to find three guitars signed by all five for sale at the same time.

They look pretty good, white guitar has some weird things going on with the Walsh and Frey... Are they all from the same seller?

This is strange... I've recently seen two Pink Floyd signed guitars recently taken down on eBay that initially looked pretty good as well - with starting prices at $.99. I noticed some small flaws in both and quickly realized the same unusualness of the piece to conclude a good forgery.

Looks like there may be a group of decent forgers out there...

That one looks pretty bad, I would say these Eagle one's are a step above that if they are in fact forgeries.

Yeah the Waters and Wright were pretty much dead giveaways but the Gilmour looks a bit like the '06 signatures and Mason's looks good. Funny that the other PF guitar I saw listed also had a song lyric inscribed ('Breathe in the Air") like the Eagles one...right off the bat I was thinking that these could be correlated.

Seller was 'timeoftheseason', who has an Eagles guitar like the one above posted.

Yes, same seller as the White Eagles guitar and Acoustic one (which was JUST pulled from Ebay). Timeoftheseason either forgers these himself or gets them from a pretty talented forger is what you are saying?

I've tried contacting the seller for info regarding the source of the guitars before they were pulled, but they never responded back.

Concerning that there are a lot of bids on the Eagles guitar that is still listed...I've personally never seen those types of PF forgeries before...Your guess is as good as mine.

Not only are the signatures good forgeries, the placement and sequence all make sense. Felder signed the pick guard, presumably first since it's right in the middle, as he won't sign anything Eagles related. Although it doesn't make sense that meisner would sign exactly the same unless he signed all 3 in one sitting, which also explains why Frey is in the same blue marker on all three.

I totally agree. It's the same with PF. Gilmour is on the pick guard because he won't sign Floyd items.

Here is a theory:  The cream colored Guitar at the top of this post was recently listed at RR Auction.  What if the forger saw that, copied the sigs as best he could, and listed on eBay?  That would explain the similar style and placement.

So the cream guitar was approved by Roger?
