daveinspain Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Is it just me or is this getting a bit much? Looks like the Gary Moore signature to me... So what makes this special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 All the signature models drive me nuts; makes me not want another Gibson. I get that signature models have been around forever, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Martin has a friggin' signature model for just about anyone who can play three chords.

EVOL! Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Is it just me or is this getting a bit much? Looks like the Gary Moore signature to me... So what makes this special? That link is bad. Are you talking about the Appetite For Destruction model? My understanding was that the guitar Slash played on that album was not a Gibson. It was made by a luthier in LA who made dead on Les Paul copies. But yeah, I am getting tired of all of the signature models out there. I want to sound and look like me, not someone else.

Riffster Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Why would anybody get irritated by a guitar model they do not have interest in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Why would anybody get irritated by a guitar model they do not have interest in? Because I think it helps keep the prices of Gibsons too high. Gibson has to pay these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Because I think it helps keep the prices of Gibsons too high. Gibson has to pay these guys. It also sells guitars, which help reduce Gibsons fixed expenses and overall cost. The artist only gets money if one their guitar sells, if i does not then they don't. Sorry, I am an accountant...

jamman Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 ok i can say, that the guitar is fine looking,(the AFD) also yours Axe. i'm not into the sig. thing. But, Gibson does sell them , so there is a market for them. The next thing is, Who will replace Slash. I think that's the real problem. that's why there are so many of his sig guitars. who has that much fame? not just a great guitar player. There are quite a few really great players that know one has heard of. Some of us here, know them but this is a small group and has interest in guitar players. the everyday "fan" doesn't follow music like so many of you here. At the end of the day it's all about money. when "Slash" the product, stops selling, Gibson will stop making his sig. guitars.
