Guitar scratch plate – autographed by Dylan - yours for only £595

Though not a serious Dylan collector, I’m generally curious about what’s being sold, at what price.

This week’s offerings from eil.com, the English collectables traders, include this intriguing artefact:

“BOB DYLAN Autographed Guitar Scratch Plate (Superb Red 'Fender Strat' style guitar scratch plate which has been AUTOGRAPHED by the legendary man himself at the Liverpool, Summer Pops 2002 festival.
