Autographed Acoustic Guitar: Hand-Signed by Lynyrd Skynyrd Members with "Sweet Home Alabama" Lyrics
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of Southern rock, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and American music history: a full-size Main Street dreadnought acoustic guitar in a rich cherry red finish, hand-signed in silver metallic paint pen by 5 key members and classic-era contributors of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Complete with handwritten lyrics to the band's legendary anthem "Sweet Home Alabama", this instrument stands as an exceptional showcase piece for classic rock collectors.
Formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1964, Lynyrd Skynyrd defined the Southern rock genre throughout the 1970s with their signature multi-guitar harmonies, blues-infused riffs, and storytelling lyrics. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, the band produced immortal rock staples including "Free Bird", "Simple Man", and "Sweet Home Alabama".
The cherry red body features a silver Lynyrd Skynyrd band logo graphic printed on the lower bout. Positioned across the left bout, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer Artimus Pyle hand-penned iconic lyrics from "Sweet Home Alabama": "Sweet Home Alabama / Where the skies are so blue / Sweet Home Alabama / Lord, I'm coming home to you." Pyle also rendered a large signature ("Artimus Pyle / Lynyrd Skynyrd") on the upper bout.
The pickguard and surrounding body feature signatures from four additional band members and honorees: founding drummer Bob Burns, original bassist Greg T. Walker, and prominent Honkettes backing vocalists Jo Jo Billingsley and Leslie Hawkins.
The instrument comes fully verified with a full Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from James Spence Authentication (JSA) (Certification Number: BB66386). Preserved in pristine condition with bright metallic signatures and spotless body finish, this multi-signed guitar serves as an ultimate centerpiece for Southern rock archivists, music historians, and Lynyrd Skynyrd enthusiasts.
