Autograph pros is a class act and if they have one than its authentic, as normally all their guitars are PSA approved. Now as far as their prices, i dont know what their asking so that could be a factor, but you might want to drop roger epperson on here a personal message to see if he might know where to get one of if he might have one he would be willing to sell.

Their was a guitar posted just a few days ago signed by the original GNR lineup on a black guitar, im not sure if that was you asking about it or not, but it looked good to me. The slash was def rushed, but the they were all good as gold in my opinion. Other than that, i would say to just keep searching ebay for one that has been authenticated by PSA. Some may disagree with me on that one, but i trust PSA a great deal when it comes to music items, and with the classic GNR lineup and the many forgeries out their on them, if it were me id def go with PSA. Lets see, you might want to check r and r auction and see what they have up this month, or wait until next auction and look. I have seen them up their before. JG autographs on ebay is verry good and trustworthy, but i dont know if theyd have a guitar signed by them.

Here is a real one but pricy

Here is another one i think is good, the slash is a little unusual but i think its due to being rushed. The others look just fine though. personally i would want a fuller nicer slash if i was going to buy one, but i still do believe this one is real and fully certed by psa

I believe its press pass collectibles that is selling both of these, as well as the black guitar that was posted earlier this week. I havent heard much about them, although i think i remember a thread about them on here you might want to search for, but i dont recall reading it to see the reviews. But that first white guitar looks spot on and 100 percent real. The second link, personally id pass on, just because if i was going to spend that kind of money id want a fuller slash sig, but thast just me. I still am confident its real, just not a good example of his sig. The Axl looks spot on in it, and the guys at PSA see alot of GNR fakes, so their really good at authenticating them.

Just a tip you might find useful when looking for them. Axl typically has to be the first to sign an item, when your trying to get the full original lineup. The last i heard he was not signing anything with Slash on it. So typically when your dealing with a guitar, you will see where the dealer has gotten Axl first on a pickguard, and his signature will be large and in the middle of the pickguard. Then the others will typically sign wherever. Although i have noticed alot of items where the dealer plays it safe i guess and just gets axl on the pickguard and the other guys on the body, and that way axl doesnt ever see  their sigs, and they dont ever see Axls. I dont think slash and the other guys really care to much about signing items axl has already signed, but i know Axl does have a problem signing items that have already been inked by Slash. Just something to keep in mind though.

You might already know this too, but rarely anymore will you see Axl's signature with his full W. Axl Rose sig. It seems those are more typical of the 80s and 90s, but in recent years he almost always signs just Axl. Although if you catch him on a good day alone, i have seen him give his full sig.

I hope this helps and good luck
