Re: Mockingbird SL

I should hope so, seeing as how it is his model.

Re: Mockingbird SL

I guess i want to know what the feel is from them. They remind of an explorer type shape. Is it easy to play, size of neck, sound ect...

Well....seeing as how your name is GnR_Guy, I'd get a Les Paul instead, unless you have one already. Anyways, they're beautiful guitars. They play great for the type they are. The neck is somewhat of the thicker Les Paul style. They have an ebony fingerboard if I'm not mistaken. As far as sound goes, they're rather heavy sounding. They have a Duncan Distortion/59 combo in them as far as I recall. It's a very "Un Slashlike" guitar IMO. They have 24 frets and a Floyd Rose as well. Don't get me wrong as they are a superb instrument, but if you're looking for something to do the Slash thing......get a Les Paul.

Re: Mockingbird SL

A mocking bird is something i DEFINITELY get!
after i get a les paul classic and a soloist SL2-H

They come in neck through if i'm not mistaken... (that would be amazing)
I'd prolly go with a midnight blue, maple top, mahogany back and a floyd rose tremolo.

Re: Mockingbird SL

Re: Mockingbird SL

Yeah i already have a paul but im not going straight towards the slash sound. I have emgs in my paul, so much for slash sound, I've heard that it is a different sounding guitar for a slash signature model so it peaked my curiosity. Thanks for the input i appreciate it.

That's cool.....it's a damn good guitar....that pretty much sums it up. I'm not a 24 fret nor a Floyd Rose kinda guy, but I'd take one in a heartbeat.
