ddsax422 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 For those who have the Slash signature guitar, would you say it's good for metal? I might get one if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Don't have one, but with enough Gain, probably? Slash doesn't use a whole lot of gain. Depends on what subgenre we're talking, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Kirk Hammett owns one of the most famous Les Pauls on the planet.. He does ok with it 🙂 And the pickups you get on the Slash models are usually hotter than on Standards.

It's nice to hear Hammett have a decent tone again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that video, that's what led me to make this topic. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The Victoria sounds nice. Haven't played it tho. Not sure how the Slash neck profil feels. The Epiphone Victoria demos sound damn good too, but it's a little too expensive for a poly finish. And the Gibson Victoria is a little too expensive, period.

valtyr Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I have one. The pickups are hotter than other models. I don’t know about extreme stuff, but it would be fine for classic metal. The neck is thick, like the 50s profile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cramp my hand up.. Otherwise I would have a Slash model or two or three 😄 Im a huge fan so instead I went for a LP Classic which has hot ceramic pickups and I get the look I want but with a nice 60s slim neck. And I have a Slash SL5 amp to go with it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The baseball bats don't work for me either. Then some 60s slim taper necks are too thin (some of the Tributes). The 60s Standard today is perfect for me. I could go a little thicker but not 1950 thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
