Shawn Brock -> RE: Would you allow Paco to autograph your guitar? (Apr. 11 2012 0:53:06)

Interesting... My option wasn't there either, I would have went with just a simple "no". I don't think it defaces the guitar exactly, but when I see Paco later this month I don't plan on having him sign a guitar... Rumbaking paid for the guitar, and the ticket to get in, so its not my business... As a buyer, if he wanted to sell the guitar to me, it wouldn't make it worth more, and may make it worth a little less, ($100 less at most). But he won't sell the damn thing to me anyhow, so I guess neither he or I have to worry about that. LOL Its a little funny that I have 10 tattoos, but wouldn't let an artist that I love write on my guitar. That tells me that a guitar is a personal thing to me, and that I place more value on it than I do my own body. Maybe I should see someone about that??? When I worked for Sara Evans, (a Country Music star), I had a few guitars which I would go around having other stars sign. One was a Martin which I bought at a shop in Nashville for $1000 less than it was worth. It had already been signed by a lot of country stars from the 60's and 70's. The other was a guitar which was worth $300 at best. After I finished collecting 30/40 signatures I went off to sell them. They didn't bring as much as I had hoped, and in the end it wasn't worth the time I took collecting the signatures. The stars of today sign a lot more stuff than they used to, and that took the value down in my case. As long is Rumbaking is happy, so am I! Paco should have been honored, its not often that he signs such expensive guitars I would guess. When a man asks you to sign a guitar like Rumbaking's, you have to know that he has a hell of a lot of respect for you.
