Gibson: Slash AFD Les Paul

Now that the Gibson Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul is launched...

 ...how many of us would be enticed to own this instrument? Would it be due to:

  1. The 'Gibson' tag?
  2. The Slash guitar icon association?
  3. The irresistible visual attraction?
  4. The potential of it being a collectible in time to come?
Or do you have something better to think about?  You do? Well done.

    I don't get it... didn't slash use a replica for 'appetite for destruction'. So isn't technically Gibson is making a tribute to a replica of one of its guitars. The word works in strange ways haha...

    As long as Gibson can make $, it's all fine I guess :). Remember Hendrix's Strat?

    subversion.sg said...

    yes, Slash played a replica (it's featured in one of the entries here), so now Gibson is replicating a copy of itself...

    brother Ijau: you received your strings yet? i'm gonna sponsor you another pack of.009 set, but this time, it's DR's colour coated strings- you ever tried this?

    Ijau D. Koceng said...

    haven't received it yet though... hopefully within this week

    i haven't used any other strings other than cheap alice, d'addario and elixir (stock ibanez iceman bass strings)

    wow, thanks again dude...

    subversion.sg said...

    ok... help me monitor its arrival, stamp issues might be the cause if there is delivery failure. in haste, i didn't indicate a return address either...

    Ijau D. Koceng said...

    it's not stampt issue, i'm guessing it's still in custom's depot for another couple of days before they release it

    happened all the time with ebay stuff (mostly cd) which i bought from oversea

    subversion.sg said...

    cool :-) you can look forward to more strings from me, i get complementary sets all the time. i rather share with you. same goes with picks :-)

    tell me if you have tried any of these string brands: GHS/ SIT/ DR/ Everly/ Tone Drive

    Ijau D. Koceng said...

    nope, haven't tried any of those strings yet

    as for picks - mostly alice, stagg, planet waves and my favourite was dunlop tortex
