Yes, it's for real.

Whether or not is worth the asking price is another matter entirely.

If the autographs can be verified real. Then the guitar might have that kind of value for autograph collectors. Depending on how much the more desireable sigs are worth. One would need authenticated autograph confirmation paperwork. Or whatever its called for that. The guitar would only be worth its asking price if some of the autographs had that value. Buyer would be buying it as either a autograph (not guitar) collector, or someone looking to flip it for a profit to serious autograph collectors.

I'm surprised people actually think signatures are worth anything. An autograph collector generally doesn't like multiple autographs to be on one piece.

They are just sentimental value.

True, with one exception being if it is something like the 1932 Yankees (Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Earle Combs, Bill Dickey, Lefty Gomez, Joe Sewell, etc)

Hey! We are close to each other. Anyways, if it is legit it is really up to you if it is worth it or not. I don't think it is but then again I don't care about peoples signatures.

At least it's on a genuine American Standard Strat. Most of these types of things are used for fund raising, and the sigs are on a cheap Squier or Epiphone. At a fund raiser for my daughter's elementary school, a Squier signed by Joe Walsh (who is local) went for $3,000. People who don't know any better assume the guitar is going to have some intrinsic value. It does, but only a couple hundred bucks.
