Billy Joel Signed Cruise Brand Stratocaster-Style Guitar Framed Display

Stunning white Cruise brand Stratocaster-style electric guitar signed directly on the body in bold blue felt tip marker by legendary singer-songwriter Billy Joel, who additionally hand-inscribed "Only The Good Die Young!" before his signature. The unusually bold, beautifully executed autograph is especially striking, complemented by the handwritten reference to one of his most celebrated songs. Measuring approximately 36" x 11" and in fine condition. The guitar is attractively displayed in a wooden shadow box frame with blue velvet lining, measuring approximately 20" x 46" overall. The frame additionally features a gold metal presentation plaque reading "Billy Joel July 4, 1995 Philadelphia Pa." Accompanied by a full LOA from Beckett. Originally released on his landmark 1977 album "The Stranger," "Only the Good Die Young" remains one of Joel's most recognizable compositions and a longtime concert favorite. Signed guitars featuring such a prominent autograph and a handwritten reference to a signature song directly on the guitar body are particularly sought-after and seldom encountered.
