Hi. I have a left handed Fender Squire in immaculate condition. Headstock is autographed by Hank, Bruce, Jet and Tony Meehan ( also Alan john JOnes) done in 2003 at Shadowmania in Frimley Green. Has anyone got an opinion of what this may be worth. Cheers
Jack

Not trying to be facetious, but it's worth what someone is prepared to pay...
To be clearer, even if it's a wonderful Squier, it would only be worth about a third of what it cost new as a trade in, and would then retail for double that...( all approx). So the real value is in those autographs, and the worth is directly related to how much your prospective buy wants them.
I would suggest that people who love the Shadows, but have had very restricted access to them in their home country will be more likely to offer you a generous price, so I would look to Malaysia and Japan... ( If you do this through a dealer with contacts there, you'll have to share the cash)
Or, try to find an email contact for the Tokyo Shadows Club, perhaps through our member Yaeko (cdma1014) or via the El Camino Guitar Bar in Akasaka, Tokyo...

When was the Hank autograph obtained ? I ask beacause I was in one of the bands that weekend and he wasn't at Frimley Green.
