btoth76 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'd sell it and buy an aged Randy Rhoads LP (and probably couple of others). :) Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 As in he personally had it it over? Thank him and be a fan girl. Request autograph. Sell after playing it a bit. I'd sell it to a huge Slash fan and get an OLD Strat. I want a 70's strat so bad >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Keep it if I like it, sell it if I don't. Apply that to all guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rogerb Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think I would put it on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I would sell, I can only imagine what it might be worth. Worth baring in mind that it's value will increase hugely once he dies though. It's also worth mentioning that it is, strictly speaking, illegal to sell a counterfeit guitar, even if you say it's counterfeit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 First I'd wonder why the **** he gave it to me, then play it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'd be curious to know what the actual owner of the guitar would have to say!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Slash hasn't owned that guitar for a LONG time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Slash, maybe? I think the point AXE® was making is that the guitar has been sold or donated and Slash doesn't own it anymore... Just a theory though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 And when they made that record he used that guitar, it belonged to the guy at the studio. He didn't own that guitar until after the record took off I believe. Or the amp. One of them. Both. Not sure anymore. Nevermind. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Oh really? I remember Him saying in an interview that He "retired" this instrument. I don't remember when it was, tough... Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabs Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 “I didn’t f*****n’ reintroduce the Les Paul,” says Slash. “It’s been around. I just don’t think that anybody who was really popular and touring worldwide was using Les Pauls around the time Guns came out.” Ironically, the guitar which returned the Gibson Les Paul to prominence in the late-Eighties is actually not a Gibson at all, but an exact replica of a late-Fifties Les Paul Standard built by a luthier named Kris Derrig. Guns N’ Roses manager Alan Niven bought the guitar and gave it to Slash during the recording sessions for the band’s 1987 debut, Appetite For Destruction. “When I was in the studio doing the basic tracks for Appetite, Alan Niven brought this Les Paul for me to use because I was having a really hard time getting a good sound,” says Slash. “I was getting a little frantic at that point, because we weren’t on the kind of budget – nor did I have the attention span – where we could wait around forever. “It became my main guitar for a really long time,” Slash continues.”And because I couldn’t afford a whole handful of that sort of thing, I took it out on the road for all of Guns’ early touring. In fact, I almost lost it during an early tour. It was stolen from me once in the crowd. I was being an idiot, leaning over the audience and getting pulled in, and some guy just grabbed it. I freaked once I realized that it was off my person – that I’d completely lost control over it. But our security guys went out and caught the guy before he left the building. That’s happened to me a couple of times.” The instrument came with Seymour Duncan Alnico II pickups (zebra-look), which Slash now uses in all of his solid-body humbucker-loaded guitars, and it has remained virtually unaltered except for the countless pickup rings pulverized by the guitarist during his celebrated on-stage antics. “I don’t take that guitar on the road anymore,” says Slash. “It’s beat to s**t, but it still sounds great!” Source: Guitar Shop Magazine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GX5ZwFVY2Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
