King, 8-2-93," "Eric Clapton," "Jeff Beck," "John Mayall," "Albert Collins," "Jimmie Vaughan," "Buddy Guy, 93," and "Dickey Betts." In fine condition, with light scratching to the pickguard and a few very small dings to the body, and a layer of clearcoat over Vaughan's and Clapton's signature to keep them from rubbing.

Consignor notes that Clapton and Beck signatures respectively obtained in 1998 and 1995, and that the Stevie Ray Vaughan signature was obtained at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh on December 3, 1986; he also notes that the slight fingerprint over Albert Collins's signature is in fact Albert's.
