Dexcb Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I think it is unlikely that we will see a signature slash ES-335. I imagine slash was using it for practicality purposes. In the studio before slash has actually used allot of differant models that aren't Les Pauls. I think its just hte fact Slash has used it for the semi-hollow body sound. I'm pretty sure Slash has had more signature models then any other artist and apart from his acoustic J-45s all the electrics have been Les Pauls and I dont think Gibson would make another signature that is not a Les Paul. However there is a chance and Slash is releasing his new reissue of his "Jessica" soon so we do know that Gibson are still happy and succesful making his signature models. Watchout on Cesar instagram for any leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess we could see a slash signature limited run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its now 2024. In the the late 80s when everyone was trying to play like Eddie Van Halen or playing really fast it was Slash who brang back the classic rock bluesy sound. But I know what you mean and its cool to see him expand his ability in his new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was great then and probably had an influence on guitar playing style for the (awesome) early 90's too. ...and, whilst I never really liked his band's stuff, I'd say the same to some extent for Mick Mars - though he was somewhat invisible among his bandmates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that Mick Mars is underrated and not talked about enough. Whenever someone think famous 80 guitarists Mick does not come to mind, whenever people think of Motley Crue they think of Vince, Tommy and Niki but not Mick.

Rabs Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 On 3/13/2024 at 5:40 PM, Rabs said: Yeah. I donno. Slash I would imagine just does what he wants and uses the guitars he wants. I was looking to see what sort of model 335 he was playing and it looked a lot like an original 1964 custom in which case he is paying tribute by using a period correct instrument on the track as it were. Now, do I think that Gibson would see that as an opportunity. Well yeah, I guess thats why I asked in the first place but it sorta seems inevitable. Ha.. I was looking at the Gibson page and saw this guitar.. I reckon thats what he is playing. So I was sort of right I reckon, a replica 64 335 Custom 1964 ES-335 Reissue, Bigsby, Custom Made Plate, Murphy Lab Light Aged, Vintage Burst | Gibson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 On 3/13/2024 at 7:08 PM, Sheepdog1969 said: Seeing how Slash is the Gibson record label's initial premier artist since 2021, it shouldn't be surprising that he would be held to the same demanding contractual standards that the majority of other artists who are contracted with Gibson, or other record labels, are. Suffice it to say, if Slash had enough money to create his own label, or fund his own tour, he defiantly would have done so. Yet, just like when he was with Geffen, he is now at Gibson's mercy. Sadly, I feel that his personal choices are contractually subservient to Gibson's rule, at least until his contract with them expirers. Boy, would I just despise being "forced" to play incredible Gibson guitars, and get paid to do so. Oh, the horror! Slash has enough money for that. Can't say I begrudge him. He ignited my interest in Les Pauls as a young'un, and I still hold what he did on UYI as some of the finest rock ever made, and yet he appears to be very humble. AND he's the only one who can get away with sunglasses indoors without looking like an idiot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think the second part is missing somehow in my understanding of this great song. Maybe it wouldn't fit in the overall scheme of the whole album, so they left it out. (Oh well, slightly disappointed, just personal preferences) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
