As mentioned, Universal Music Malaysia is always there for you to authenticate the item.
If their reputation is in any way questionable, then I rest my case.
The onus is always on the buyer to authenticate the item not the seller.
Hence the question of fantasizing should and will not arise.
Anyone contemplating purchasing this item is not obliged to buy it if in doubt.
A 'willing-buyer-willing-seller' transaction is always preferred.
Cheers !!!!

This is where you're wrong, you should authenticate for buyer. Why didn't Universal Music provide you the authentic cert for the guitar as proof? Here's an example a guy selling his signed bass complete with proof:

If got buyer, we go and authenticate it. If no buyer, why waste both our time ?

And furthermore how do you know that the cert as shown, is genuine ?

Wouldn't it be better for me to take you direct to the company
that issued the guitar than try to prove to you that the cert
they issued is genuine ?

Note: The Marshall company of the US took one year
to authenticate a used amplifier whom the present owner
claimed belonged to Hendrix the famed guitarist
and was asking US1,000,000/- for it.

A potential buyer responded and took the initiative
to send it to Marshall for authentication. After almost
a year, it was confirmed it belonged to Hendrix
and the owner got his asking-price.

IF the owner took it himself to Marshall for authentication
and managed to get a cert for it, my question is, would anyone believe him??
Any buyer worth his salt would want further verification from Marshall themselves
and get a fresh authentication from them and the whole process would
be repeated rendering the first authentication a complete waste of time.

Hope you see point. Yes, I can get a cert but it will still be doubted
and I will have to take the buyer back to the source for a fresh
verification.

Cheers !!!

Maybe you didn't read the letter of authenticity throughly, it was signed by Jersey State of Public Notary (if you don't know what it is. It's similar to this http://www.agc.gov.my/index.php?option=com...mid=94&lang=en) as proof and you can check it via JSA website (http://spenceloa.com) as they upload it to their database. They specialize verify authenticity of signed sports memorabilia and other stuffs.

29k for some unknown guitar without complete letter of authenticity proof is just don't make any sense.

Agreed with you as I did manage to ask Universal Music Malaysia. I got picture proof of my enquiry, if want I can post it here. So they replied saying "Hello there, we are not sure if this is legit as we are not involved in this matter. Thank you for asking:)"

Also TS reply is hilarious. Hendrix is dead mate. Metallica is totally alive. He is asking 29k but still lazy to put effort to prove authenticity saying it is a waste of his time :S. Maybe 1 month later I post a Taylor 614ce signed by Myles Kennedy and ask 30k n then ask interested seller to first verify it themselves as it is my waste of time.

Also TS FYI spenceloa.com which is one of the legit authenticators have a verifying authenticity tab on their legit database online. We live in 21st century so the whole no one will believe me approach doesn't make sense as I'm sure when u authenticate it, u will probably will ask so how does a future buyer know that this authentication is legit ?

Ans: reputation of the authenticator + a way to verify authenticate on the go (thr legit database online)

You see we are all trying to help you sell ur item. I mean investing some time and money, who knows you might find a buyer willing to pay your asked 29k then since got solid proof. Currently it is just another guitar on forum.
