Anyone Recognise Any Of The Signatures?

It's just arrived... 

 

Of all the places something like this could have come from, it came from Cash Converters. Yup. Good old Cash Converters. 

 

I took a huge punt on it when I noticed Alice Cooper's autograph. Certainly wasn't anywhere near convinced it was legitimate when I bought it. 

 

But... having spent most of last night trying to find any information, I managed to find the 4 photos of Alice, Steven, Francis, Rick and Ian. All holding this guitar, and all with signature markings on the guitar they are holding that match exactly the position of the signatures on this one I now have in hand. 

 

I reached out to Warwick Stone (anyone that watches Pawn Stars would know him as the British chap that values all of their Rock memorabilia). He responsed by email yesterday evening after having seen the guitar and the photos I posted here and confirmed it was legitimate. 

 

I've also reached out directly to Ian Hunter and Jeff Wayne (as I found their email addresses) as well as Gibson's current CEO, Cesar. Hopefully one of those will respond and be able to give me some more clues as to some of the other signatures! 

 

Identified signatures so far:

 

Alice Cooper

Geezer Butler 

Duff McKagan 

Francis Rossi

Rick Parfitt

Steven Tyler

Kerry King

Meat Loaf

Black Stone Cherry 

Mick Ralph

Ian Hunter 

Jeff Wayof

A hell of a find...
