Slash's Replacement In Every Way

[Johnny the Kid]

DJ Ashba has a signature Les Paul. Looks pretty hideous. Has a Jb in the bridge and a A2Pro in the neck. Has a Kill Switch built in.

I like DJ. As a player he's fine, but ya, his LP is kinda ugly. Dull grey

Saw this the other day. Ashba is the sort of dude that's easier on the ears...meaning that he comes off as a bit of a poseur where as Slash is about 1000x more rawk and roll. I dig his playing on a few of the Sixx:AM tunes, but he seems like a far cry from being a replacement for Slash

...but he seems like a far cry from being a replacement for Slash

That is a kind way to put it.

I think that is a pretty cool model. Definitely something different spec-wise. I like the compound radius and a nice sized neck profile.

Well....I don't want to insult anyone.

I miss brightly colored guitars. I miss the 80s.

I don't know his playing much at all, but the guitar is pretty cool. Apart from the little insignia and the reversed truss cover I would rock it hard!

I found another slash replacement, All it needs is a little top hate.

Re: Slash's Replacement In Every Way

It must be hard to be a guy who thinks of signature guitars for Gibson... straddling the line between what's popular and mainstream and what guitar players will actually buy.

I wonder what his ratio is like.

Real ugly. No way is it anywhere close to being a replacement for Slash's LP's. As far as the player himself, good or bad, there's only one Slash.

Re: Slash's Replacement In Every Way

If Slash got so famous playing the way he does, his PR people must be doing the best of jobs!

Naahh, don't mind me; I'm just a grumpy old man...

Re: Slash's Replacement In Every Way

Ashba is a good guy and competent player; no need to bash via comparison to Slash. The real question: Does the world need another signature guitar?

Re: Slash's Replacement In Every Way

Its not a matter of needing another signature model - The real question is...

Will it sell?

Re: Slash's Replacement In Every Way

I like it, but wouldn't buy it. An Epiphone version would be nice

I doubt they'll sell as many as they're hoping
