Comment by BallroomDays67 4 hours ago: The one below Bo Diddley is supposed to be a rushed Keith Richards.

Comment by Jason H 4 hours ago: I don't recognize many of the signatures on here. The ones I do, for their 2004 style, seem off to me. Another not mentioned seems to be Joe Satriani at the bottom which still doesn't seem right....

But there is 1 very interesting signature that has caught my eye which is Eddie Van Halen. Im surprised he is not mentioned as a signer either. Eddie has many close forgeries in the wild to the point where I am not comfortable owning one without an included year or VH inscription myself. He didn't necessarily have 1 set style for 2004. He could have used this style. Here is one from 1998 in a similar style surprisingly for how atypical the others seem to be.

Vs yours. Its not exact but there are others out there that match up even closer to this

here is one that has similar aspects to the ending of yours (typical angled that at the top of the v)

And here is another of mine signed a bit different actually from 2004 which will show how inconsistent he can be.

I'm not saying yours is real but close enough to be a head scratcher and give the others some deeper research.

The supposed Jack Black signature i have never seen him sign like that. He had a distinct style set by 04. Unless this signature isn't supposed to be Jack Black at all?? But how can someone get Eddie so close and be so off on the others?

Overall, im siding with Richard for now. This does not look good as a whole, especially at first glance, but I think it would be fun just to research off and on over the next week or so

Comment by terrier8HOF 6 hours ago: Im not familiar with many of these signatures, but I do see what looks like an attempt at Joe Walsh and that one really looks off to me.

Comment by mark tibbetts 13 hours ago: Thanks Jason again for helping me out. BB KING died in 2008 and Bo Didley in 2012 or vice versa. ERIC CLAPTON'S 3 day guitar festival in Dallas Texas was in 2004. He invited all his guitar buds and they brought guitars to donate to the auction. 88 guitars were sold for just shy of 9 million dollars for charity for alcohol and drug abuse center that Eric Clapton founded. I went through all 88 guitars sold by Christies about two weeks after the 3 day festival concluded and this was not one of them. I think that I have a guitar that was signed at this event by and never sold off at the festival. I think someone involve with the festival that was of some stature of course had the different colored sharpies, etc and 21 signatures. That is why I included the newspaper articles on this festival cuz CARLOS SANTANA and Jeff Beck and Vince Gill were also there. Jack Black's name was not mentioned in those articles, but clearly jack signed it, of course, neat cursive under the VOLUME POWER toggle. LOL. Hope this backstory helps a bit. Mark.
