A guitar that expensive in the wrong hands is still worthless. Either play it or don't buy it man. You have two videos of this guitar, which has gotta be worth almost three thousand dollars, and haven't played a single lick. I'll stick with my Epiphone, at least I know what to do with it.
Plus, Slash has said time and time again that the replica he has sounds, feels and plays better than any Gibson he has ever had even the ones the Custom Shop makes for him.
and where the hell did you get that information? if you are going to say Slash played a fake Les Paul then you better back it up with some evidence. I fucking hate people that make such bold statements without even saying anything to make their position believable.
Ok, here goes- You can pick up the book "Slash" in hard back for $27.95 in just about any reputable book store. Go to said book store, buy the book, and, read pages 170-172. In those pages you will learn( from the author, Slash himself!) that the guitar was picked up for him just before laying down the first tracks for the first sessions of what was to become Appetite. The guitar is a flame top '59 Les Paul replica that was hand made by the late Jim Foot who owned Music Works in Redondo Beach.
Page 172 from the book, Slash: "He made about fifty of those Les Paul replicas entirely by hand with no detail overlooked. It became my only guitar for a while, and has become my mainstay in the studio ever since. It has sounded different on every record I've done, but it is the same exact guitar." I don't know what "source" you have that tells you differently, but, my source is Slash in his own words in his autobiography. I think he would know better than anyone. Thanks for calling...CLICK.
yes you are both right, anyone that knows anything about slash knows it was a copy he used, infact gibson are making a replica of the copy for the new slash sig, since when did a company like gibson need to make a copy of a copy of one of their guitars? :)
I would like to just throw this out there-people sell modded guitars all the time. Theres no rules against swapping out stock pickups for Duncans and then selling the guitar. Plus, if you know anything about Slash, the iconic Les Paul that he used to record Appetite wasnt even a "real" Les Paul. It was a hand made replica that a local luthier (he's dead now) made.
No Shit! I have an el Degas (WTF right?) 15 years ago, and with the retrofitting I've done I still play it more than my Custom Shop Clapton, Gilmour Strats. A Les PAul Body with the right pickups...c'mon, these one peice guitars truly stad the test of time. These guitars reach volumes and tones the likes of Fender couldn't touch. No0t to knock Fender ( Ilove em too) but Les Pauls, and the like, really kick ass.
I totally agree... I guess a Epiphone would have done the job as well... But to be fair, I guess I wouldn't deserve a Gibson as well, but I still would like to own one^^
i think epiphone is underated. It's a great guitar company. I have an epi les paul ultra and i feel as if it matches a gibson easily. Plenty of reviews on the Internet say the same thing. If u r talking about gibson from the 60s or 70s, then it's a different story. Back then gibson was interested quality. Now it's more of a mass production and the guitars aren't as great as they used to be.
@Blackstarrevenge give it to me then or to other guys!:P however you have one of the greatest opportunities to have a fantastic sound when you learn better to play..;)
nice guitar fella, ive got a 1997 les paul standard i would love to get a new one without the pick gard in ice tea and fit some sd alnico 2 pro's to it but money is tight at the mo so il just dream on coz i aint gonna work any harder to get it (",)
wow really nice looking pickups. since i dont care what the pickups in my 2000 guitar sound like,this was very helpful. i cant state this strongly enough. even though your sd pickuops look like any other black open coil pickups, because i now know what they look like in YOUR HCSB les paul i will run out and buy some. thank you!
Yeah....it's a les paul..and..do you play? People become obsessed with instruments an gear, and nice gear is great, but, 80% of tone is in the paws hangin' off the end of your arms!!!! We play some pretty big venues and i now use just a Furman power conditioner, Fender 60 watt tube amp, tuner, wah, distortion, tube screamer and a homebuilt frankenstein Strat. bridge Seymour JB 4 neck Alnico2 Pro.
Sounds Great! Great Tone! Nice Playing!
