Swoop 7 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 That's a really nice looking guitar, looks to be nice and shiny, and that flame top is great. Enjoy it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sjael 113 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 That's a beautiful guitar you've got there! Welcome to the chunky side! As for wanting to be Slash, luckily because he has no distinguishing features at all, you can put on a hat, wig and sunglasses and actually BE Slash as far as anyone can tell! I'm using a lot of exclamation marks! As Wardog said, let's see pictures of your other geets too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antwhi2001 14 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Welcome to the world of set necks and humbuckers. I was strictly a Strat man for years. Still play my Fenders at home and at the occasional open mic night, but for serious gigs it's a couple of Gibsons. If I'd realised how good some of the Epi LPs were I'd have bought one years earlier. The Gibsons were out of my price range until recently, whereas Fenders were affordable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slash_wanna_B 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks for the welcome fellas! The Epi is my one and only,..... Parted with my Lake Placid Blue 60's classic to help fund this. Love the neck, super smooth and chunky! 12" fret board, HOLY CRAP! And to think, I really liked the 7.5" radius, this is going to take a bit to get used to. But, so far,....... I like it!

sexygibson 9 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Welcome Slash ! Hope you enjoy the forum and will contribute from time to time. Honestly though ; those Slash models are total pieces of crap that I wouldn't wipe my butt with. But, because I'm a nice guy , I will offer you $100 for it so it won't be a total loss for you. Seriously dude; that is a beautiful guitar and I would be proud to have it in my collection. Hope you get years of enjoyment from it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matiac 309 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Welcome aboard! I hear tell them "Slashers" are the schitt! I had an opportunity to try one at our local sh1t...er, Guitar Center, and what impressed me most after getting around their crappy set up, was the fatness of it's sound...it sounded like mine, and mines been tweaked a little bit (pickups, bridge, tail, guts etc. etc.). Yours has a real nice flame going on. I grabbed a Strat over the holidays, but pretty much knock around the house with it...'course that's pretty much all I do with my Epi (pictured below). But were I to play out,I'd bring along 'ol Blue! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matiac 309 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Why, thank you! It's proper name is "my most beloved, and trusted 'Blue Bomber'", mods are as follows: Truss cover off my '06 Gibson SG Standard, just to mess with people Frets dressed Pickups, '70's Gibson "T-tops" with a "mod" to those (covers removed, gold pole screws installed) Bridge, Gotoh Tail, Gibson TP6 milled for Epi posts Switchcraft toggle with coffee stained tip Allparts gold Witch hat knobs with silver inserts While not a fan of gold hardware, I do dig gold accents. I thought about doing the pickup ring screws gold also, aint got 'round to it yet though. So far the stock pots are holding up pretty good, so I'm gonna leave 'em be 'til I have to change something.

AlanH 174 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 What brand is that goldtop SWB? The cutaway tip looks more rounded than on an Epi or Gibson and the pickup switch area of the upper body also looks slimmer. Alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
