Exactly... Unless, of course, the OP is looking to "invest" in a guitar, rather than have it to play. In that case, you would need certain proof that it is his signature. I have heard of people faking Slash guitars (Trogly being the victim of one of them).

Yeah I’m leaving US and going back home soon, wanna buy a guitar to keep for a long time, so looking for something valuable in the future.

I agree.   I wouldn't mind checking out one of his Gibson signature issue Les Paul's,  but  to have a regular issue LP with his sharpie signature on it is worthless to me as a collector item and only worth the value of the guitar itself.   Now, if it were my personal guitar and  he signed it to me in person, well that would be a different story 😉 

Yeah almost became a victim, he was not able to show any proof, will buy a new goldtop instead. Thanks for the heads up

Purely going from the copy written in the image posted the seller is not claiming that it is one of the CS Slash Signature Les Pauls. The seller merely describes it as a "Les Paul signed by Slash" - which is a completely different matter (similar to all those folk who took a LP along to the Iridium Club to have it signed by the man himself).

In which case - and as has been stated a few times - supplying proof of provenance is essential otherwise it's merely a defaced Gold Top.

Pip.

Thank you so much, was confused about the used Gibson market as I knew very few about it, I think I will buy a new 1957 reissue goldtop instead

I don’t really know. What I do know is that for that sort of price you could get a Gibson Custom Gold Top, like a 1957 Reissue. Some might have a different opinion, but personally for that type of money I’d prefer a Gibson Custom over a Gibson USA. Although I admire Slash a lot as I grew up listening to among other things, Guns n Roses, I wouldn’t pay a lot extra just to have his signature on a guitar. A used Gibson USA is going for half of the price of that guitar you posted. I wouldn’t think it’s worth double because of Slash’s autograph. 

Thanks for the suggestion, I do like the 1957 goldtop reissue, just wondering are they the same color? I think it’s a bit different

If it is real, it doesn’t look like Gibson Custom guitar. 

So the original 2008 slash signature Goldtops is not from Gibson Custom?

I’m looking to get this 2008 slash signature Gibson goldtop, and it’s signed by himself, can anyone help me to identify it’s real or fake?
