This guitar is a brand new fully functional electric acoustic guitar hand signed in person by BRAD PAISLEY! This guitar was hand signed on 11/5/08 in New York City at the Dave Letterman Show and comes with video proof. Sorry, we didn't get the camcorder turned on in time to show this guitar being signed but if you look at the first screen of the video it shows the guitar on the bottom right of the screen and then we also get our electric guitar signed. It's the same marker used to sign this one and while I wish we had the video on earlier, it still shows him signing for us all so again, this is far more proof than anyone else is offering out there and truly a remarkable addition to the provenance of this autograph.
