TW,

Personally i dont think this item is legit. The Slash and Duff look off among several other things. But hopefully others will chime in.

You know TW, the more i look at this, the more unsure i am. I see alot good qualities about it. On second look i focused in on Dizzy's sig and it looks spot on to several that i have that i will post below. Then i started looking at the Sorum and it two looks good from what i have seen. Duff is tricky b/c he is such an easy sig to forge. The D formation looks a little screwy to me as well as the formation of the sig as a whole, but i think it may be reasonable to say its real. I just dont know on that one. The Axl i cant tell. Im not the best on his new version, and its really easy to fake as well. But could be good. 

Which brings us to the Slash, which is my biggest problem. The formation of the first S, and the tight jumbledgness of it just look very unusual for a legit Slash. He is normally pretty darn consistent and this looks atypical to me. But i have seen him sign some strange ones before, so its probably a little premature for me to call foul on it. I am skeptical on it, but it just may be legit.

The problem with alot of Guns pieces i see nowadays are good sigs mixed with bad ones. Typically they have legit Adler, Duff and Slash, and then forge Izzy or Axl or both. So im always a little weary. So my main concern here is the Slash, but apart from that it looks okay, considering the Axl is good, and i just cant comment on that.

I would pay Roger Epperson for a quick opinion and he can put your mind to rest. I do think the Reed and Sorum are real though. Here are a few examples from my collection that match nicely with your LP.

I too thought the Dizzy Reed and Matt Sorum looked legit. After comparing it to the pictures you posted I am confident that they are. I may have Roger take a look at this. Thanks Carl.
