Signed by all of Pantera; or so I’m told, never did figure out if/how I could get this authenticated.

Found this listed on Kijiji well over a decade ago. Buddy didn’t really know or care who Pantera was, story goes that he won it in a radio contest when they toured here (that bit lines up, the date he gave was the only time they came here, and there was in fact a radio contest for a guitar). Anyway, I figured the guitar was worth the money on it’s own ($500!), so hell, why not.

Don’t know why the photos got rotated…

    Get that shit authenticated. JSA would be an example of who could likely authenticate it. That’s a helluva find.

    I got to ask, with all those signatures on there, do you actually play the guitar? If I had a guitar signed by my heroes, I would be deathly afraid that my sweat would wipe away the signatures

      Oh good god no, I never touch it. I have it mounted up high on the wall where not even the cat can reach it. The signatures would absolutely rub away, the one on the bottom has a slight smudge already (I’m assuming from the seller, but it’s been so long it very well could have been me when I was younger and dumber)

        It would actually be an incredible power move to gig with a sweet guitar covered in smudged signatures from a famous band that you don’t really know / have an appreciation for. Still, I’m glad it made its way to you, thanks for sharing!
