rawpowerocks Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I was wondering if anybody knows how Slash got this guitar in black. Did he get the Gibson custom shop to make him a black one or did he buy either the Alpine White or Heritage Cherry and just get it re-sprayed?

Space Pup Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 With Slash's endorsement value to Gibson, I'm sure they would make him one in black with no problem and probably at cost too. From time to time Gibson has taken custom orders on guitars from the public as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbomb76 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It's called "Celebrity Status". If you're a well-known geezer, they'll make whatever you want. It's us working-class chumps they would give a crap about when we ask for certain things...lol H-Bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibSinCity Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 How `bout a black Jimmy Page(Extended string-length tailpiece)version.. Quote: Originally Posted by Volitan How is it one of 3?

Also black hasn't been a regular color on these since the 60's. Good luck finding one in black on musicians friend. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.power-wholesalers.com/3doublenecks.JPG&imgrefurl=http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D2358185&usg=__un6Zwgo1gkjzZXN4FuPlCx1kFLw=&h=548&w=732&sz=68&hl=en&start=13&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=IxDfr7nbOE98KM:&tbnh=106&tbnw=141&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblack%2Bgibson%2Beds%2B1275%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26tbs%3Disch:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
