Re: New Slash Gibson Les Paul
The description is interesting. What's "traditional weight relief"?Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Re: New Slash Gibson Les Paul
Swiss cheese actualyl results in a heavier guitar vs. chambering.
I actually prefer the swiss cheese weight releif holes vs. tone chambers.If I know I'm going crazy, I must not be insane.

Re: New Slash Gibson Les Paul
Its more understated than the chickenfoot headstock, which is a very good thing.
I really, really wish i had the money for one of these!!Ministers and superstars

Re: New Slash Gibson Les Paul
Considering that for less you can get a similarly spec'ed Trad Plus, or that for a little bit more you can get a plaintop VOS R8/R0....
I think the signature costs too much. The top does look killer.
Not bashing Gibson at all...I'm sure they'll sell real fast.
Edit: Well compared to a Trad Plus it might not be that much of a difference...
The A2Ps (normal not Slash) cost about $80 each in zebra, so that's $160, plus the $116 from the Tonepros bridge and tailpiece makes it about $276 in upgrades...the Trad Plus costs about $2300 so that's $2576.Last edited by tc; 03-11-2010, 01:15 PM.

Re: New Slash Gibson Les Paul
I would not play a signature guitar anyways. I know it's psychological and has nothing to do with rational thinking, and I have come to terms with that. I just don't get inspired to find my own sound, and play my own way, when I see someone's name or logo on my instrument.
Nice top though, lol.- Gibson CS ES339 - Gibson Les Paul Trad - Gibson J-200 Standard - Fender Hwy1 Strat - Gibson Captain Kirk Douglas SG - Takamine E-series Acoustic - Fender Blues Deluxe - Fender Excelsior -

Re: New Slash Gibson Les Paul
Why are the specs f'd up? Slash's most sought after Les Paul was ghost built and it was based on a '59 LP. Why does this signature model have a weight relieved body and a 60's style neck, it doesn't make sense?Originally posted by kevlar3000I learned a long time ago that the only thing that mattered regarding tone was what my ears thought.Originally posted by ZerberusBetter is often the enemy of goodOriginally posted by ginormousCovers feed the body, originals feed the soul.
