  • Would it hurt them to tell the truth? The Guitar was made by Chris Derrig (now deceased). He made approx. 25 to 35 '59 Les Paul copies that were highly regarded. I had the opportunity to inspect one about 20 years ago. This particular guitar was far superior to any other replica I have ever seen.

  • I played the original, the 80's one. :)

  • @SmyganPro Not all of them, it's like nowadays. They're very hit and miss.

  • @Nickpatient Hey! I've got an early 80's Gibson! I wouldn't say it's POOR.

  • @SmyganPro No, it was a replica, it had Gibson on the headstock. Lots of people made Gibson replicas in the 80's because Gibson quality was POOR, the prices were insane and they didn't do reissues. Everyone wanted a 59 Les Paul, Gibson wouldn't make them so people consulted private builders. It's a well known fact that the AFD guitar was a Chris Derrig replica. Slash has said so many times. :)

  • @Disco234jockey not really, its just that Slash's original has faded and the characteristic of the finish has lightened, the way the AFD guitars look is what the Original one did in 88, go back and watch GNR videos of 88 and you can see that it looks like the AFD guitars look like

  • @SmyganPro I don't think that's the Derrig made guitar. Maybe he had a Les Paul at the time. I really don't know

  • @MrUltraworld so Gibson either changed the neck or modified the head-stock on the "original" that's in this video.

  • @SmyganPro His copy was completely hand made, no Gibson parts were used. It was never branded Gibson. I don't know what Gibson made for him, a Historic seems most likely.

  • @MrUltraworld

    Yup.

  • the Gibson version has a really, unauthentic and different pattern on the flame maple, sometimes it sucks so bad it even looks painted

  • @theruley ah ok so why are they producing it like it had been one x)
