Slash J 45 demo

[JuanCarlosVejar]

Folks,

Check it out:

Some people here trash slash because they think he is just a Les Paul guy but I’ve played this guitar and it’s excellent. The huge 58/59 style neck gives it a massive shimmer/vibration.

 

It’s not like any J 45 I have played before.

The video in my opinion captures the tone very accurately.It’s an amazing guitar even if you hate Slash .... a few strums on this thing and you can’t deny that this is a wonderful J 45.

 

It has so much power that you could almost mistake it for a Rosewood backed jumbo.

 

As I said in the other post Gibson Acoustic is on fire right now.

Will it come sans electronics if you prefer? Or does it come with it no matter what?

ya. That should be a option with every acoustic at the time of purchase.

All my acoustic are sans electronics and I never install a strap button in the neck heal, but that is just me.

If you place an order with a dealer you should be able to order it without any electronics.

That is cool but I just got a 4k guitar and my wife would sever my  genitalia from my body if I got another guitar any time soon.

Nice, but I always remember Slash using Guild acoustics back in the 80's & 90's. When did he start using J-45's?

C,

 

You are correct about the guilds (i believe he had a deal with them at that time) [but guild has changed hands many timed]
 

I don’t know when he started using J 45’s exactly but here he is playing one in 2014 :

 

 

 

He’s been playing Gibson Acoustics for a while now, Here he plays paradise city on a CJ -165 EC maple in 2008:

In this clip he plays a CJ -165 Rosewood for Guitar World :

 

 

 

He’s also been playing a Gibson J 185 12 string for years now:

 

I do know he has been playing a J 45 at shows with GnR since the first few dates of the Not In This Lifetime tour.

Thanks for the links. Interesting he does some bending on that 12 string in that last video. I never bend on a 12 string due to the nature of the instrument.  That CJ165 rosewood looks really nice in the other video.  I wonder why he switched from Guild to Gibson.? Growing up in the 90's I was a big GN'R fan, then followed Velvet Revolver and went to see them live around 2005, but after that I didn't pay as much attention. For me I always imagine Slash with his No.1 1987 Les Paul Standard or a Guild acoustic. Having said that, the J45 looks and sounds really great. He doesn't seem to have remained that faithful to a lot of the guitars he was known to play at the height of GN'R. I used to love the look of that Travis Bean he played on Bad Obsession live.
