"I'm sorry but this in an obvious fake. There is no chance this is real. "
"Thanks for the input Stepeanut,In his story, he doesn't specifically say it was 1968, but around this period.IF the story were true, members of The Band might be the only level of people who would have the access to him to be able to get the…"
"Agreed, poor fake. What gets me is the tuning heads. If signed and then not played, why change the many tuners years later? Signature aside, that and the overall condition are immense red flags."
"Hmmm… thanks for taking the time to respond in such detail. I’d rather know it isn’t real than have something fake hanging on my wall.

Bob Dylan Signed Guitar (1968) Authentic?
Hello all, Looking for some feedback and opinions on the authenticity of this guitar, believed to be signed around 1968. I purchased this guitar off of Peter Bradford Wood in 2005. A musician who claimed to be quite close with members of The Band around that period. One of The Band members, he says below, had Dylan sign the guitar. I had not spoken with him about the guitar since I purchased if off of him, and believe I found him on Facebook, then subsequently found an obituary for him - and…See More
