Slash Epiphone Les Paul Review

Re: Slash Epiphone Les Paul Review

I got to check out all the models at GC, and I think the deal of the bunch is the standard. The fret work and finishing were far better than any Les Paul standard I have seen, and it is price about $300 less than a regular standard!

I just don't dig the finish. I would much rather have the plain top from the custom shop model.

I got to play one of these over the weekend. Great neck, very easy to play, has that great slash tone. Can be a one trick pony depending what amp your plugging it into. I played lots of gunners through it, sweet child of mine, nightrain, its so easy, rocket queen and just hit the nail on the head. Played through a jcm 800 with an orange 2x12 with vintage 30's. I also played it through a 57' fender delux and was quiet surprised at the chimey almost single coil sound. So as i said, depending on what sound you want it will depend on the amp.

Its a great learners guitar, just pick up and play. I played a standard Gibson Les Paul, just for a comparison and i liked the slash better. The tone, weight, neck everything.

At the end of the day, i found another Epi Dot Super ltd in tabacco/natural finish. It beat out both the slash and les paul in tone, neck, everything. Not bad for an 900 dollar ( au ) guitar. With the dot, i could get both the tones the les paul and slash had. I let one slip through my fingers a few weeks ago, not this time!!!

i shall have pics of the Epi Dot Super soon

One trick pony is a limitation developed by ones skill or creativeness.
All Salsh guitars are long tenon hence the rockiin sustain.
I put Triple shots in mine and I tell you what man, you can do anything with it.
I am very glad I tried Triple shots and I strongly recommend them.
So yeah, I don't like what I read as it comes across too opinionated with little experience.
Think about using the magic words "I think.." or "I believe". You won't get people setting you straight then.

Since I don't see any pics I have to assume that this just didn't happen. It's just a story for those who like to read.

Pics, pics, pics....or it didn't happen.
