Over the weekend I was lucky enough to meet Brian May and he signed my copy of the Red Special Guitar
The people ive told keep telling me how valuable it is now, and i am wondering how much do people think a signed red special guitar is worth
BY THE WAY, THIS IS JUST HYPOTHETICAL! I WOULD NEVER SELL IT BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING UNIQUE AND PERSONAL TO ME, THAT WILL ALWAYS REMIND ME OF THE DAY I MET BRIAN MAY :)
Cheers :)
It is hard to say...at the end of the day it's worth only what someone is willing to pay for it, and it all depends several factors - such as what version of the RS it is, if the signature is dedicated, and how good an example the signature is. If it is a new RS (i.e the one made currently by BHM) and not the Burns version from a few years back, then we could look at it this way - the guitar is worth around £650, and you'd rarely see a Brian autograph go for more than £50.....so your figure could be £700. But because it is a collectable guitar, and signed, it would probably go for more, and I think I saw one go for just over £1000 not too long ago. However, as it's all hypothetical, it doesn't really matter - just enjoy what you have! If it's for insurance purposes, I'd go for the £1500 region.
See? Hard to say :)
