Rod Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I went down to my local Long and McQuade today after seeing the new Slash guitar and ordered it. There are only ten slated for Canada and five are pre sold. Do not know when it will arrive but i will post pics asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 I don't know if this number is accurate but the guitar rep at L and M said that there are only 600 of these guitars bieng produced. I can't say that this is a correct number but it is an interesting conversation piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight959 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 They are on Gibsons website... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGplayer1994 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Congrats, looks like it's a great guitar. I want one too, but i need to get a job first (only 15 by the way, can't get a job if i wanted to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 forgetting that its a slash model knowing that thats generally where bickering may start... Its gosh darn purdy I thought though since it were a 59 replica of a copy it would have an ABR-1 bridge and not a tunomatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwink822 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'll freely admit that notwithstanding the Slash logo on the headstock, I dig the looks of the guitar. Not sure that the Duncan Alnico II's are quite my cup of tea though. When it comes to Duncan pickups, I' prefer a '59/Pearly Gates or '59/JB pairing.

Rod Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have to admit that I could do without the logo but it is what it is. I had a 2008 slash goldtop and very much liked the Duncans. I do not know if these pickups are different from the 2008 model but every one has their own sounds that they prefer. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow. I've had one for seven years now and never knew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba_leon Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow. I've had one for seven years now and never knew it. And without the silly headstock graphic! What a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Scary Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I don't know if this number is accurate but the guitar rep at L and M said that there are only 600 of these guitars bieng produced. I can't say that this is a correct number but it is an interesting conversation piece I spoke with my local Gibson dealer and he said that the numbers are even less. He said they are making 200 aged and 100 with a gloss finish. I haven't read that anywhere not have I read what the production numbers will be. Why is Gibson keeping it a secret? I suppose in a week or so when it's released we'll be able to see if they are number XXX/XXX or if the certificate is numbered (which I doubt). Anyway' date=' it will be a limited run and I think it's a killer looking guitar. Like someone else posted, too bad Slash didn't actually play a Gibson Les Paul on the Appetite album but a copy instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 I appreciate the info. That would be great if the numbers were that low. As for Gibson it is rather odd that they are replicating a replica of a 59. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
