JieXian -> Need help with identifying the authenticity of a Romanillos and a Morris (Aug. 8 2010 16:50:30)





I've searched for a few pictures and the stamps look different. Could someone please give me some advice?








And here's another Morris one, just in case someone knows about them.

Could someone please judge the value of both of these guitars? Thank you.

They both look like factory guitars, I guess the value would be hard to judge but probably well under $1000...
It's not a Romanillos as in Jose Romanillos the luthier.

are you a metallica fan then?

the scary guy logo indicates that either you or the previous owner are...

Could it be both?

The "so called" Romanillos guitar has nothing to do with a real Romanillos guitar made by José or Liam Romanillos. They all have different Labels and they are not made in Barcelona. So it looks like somebody tryes to make use of the famous Romanillos name, but only good products are copied, so i consider it to be kind of a honour to Romanillos allthough i could imagine better ones as well;-)

Armando

Thanks, it's all cleared up now. I'd still give Romanillos the benefit of doubt because after all, there should be many people around with that name.

I'm not a Metallica fan but I try to listen to all kinds of music and so far my friend have been introducing several metal songs but none of them were ever Metallica.

Maybe the owner is, I don't know. I haven't bought it yet by the way.... And a sticker isn't going to influence my choice at all. Something like that will only make me think about the cost of removing the sticker. However the seller said it was removed already.

All that's left is the Morris one, but of course this may not be the right place for it, still hopefully some of you can help me about that :)

The label does not include the name, Jose so I doubt if it is a fake label or someone trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes. It is very likely there is a luthier in Barcelona by the last name of Romanillos and it could very well be his first name is Jose and therefore he decided not to include his first name so as not to cause any confusion. Then again, maybe this is a Sherry guitar that has surfaced out of the woodwork unknown to the masses until this moment.
