Frankie Avalon Signed Guitar Fender Starcaster – COA JSA

Description

Presented is black Fender Starcaster electric guitar autographed by Frankie Avalon. Superbly autographed in silver paint pen (“9”) on the body by Avalon. The guitar itself shows mild handling/storage wear from the Hard Rock.

This guitar originated from a Hard Rock Hotel & Casino employee who worked with talented musicians that came to the venue to perform. In the process of all the back stage antics (the partying, the moving and jostling, just dealing with rock stars), many of the guitars have battle wounds including scuffs, scrapes (etc.) and may have been played.

The consigner also worked with the curator of the historic memorabilia laden casino who had the access to many celebrities and musicians (and their memorabilia of course). As a collector, it was truly the place to be as it allowed his treasure trove to be amplified. He is now ready to bring some of those treasures to market. Take notice, in the process of obtaining autographs of the musicians he had them sign the body of a guitar which is more rare than the placed pick guard ones that are often brought to market. As a musician himself, he also made sure that the guitars in his collection were oftentimes elite models like this one.

Better known as Frankie Avalon, is an American actor, singer, and former teen idol. He had 31 charting U.S. Billboard singles from 1958 to late 1962, including number one hits, “Venus” and “Why” in 1959. He is the earliest surviving singer to have scored a solo number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. He had a famous song in the movie Deer Hunter.
