What's to like or hate...it's an LP with Seymour Duncans on it. I mean, it's pretty much what Slash plays all the time, so if you're really into his music I guess go for it.

Though in case you didn't know, Slash didn't even use a Gibson on "Appetite For Destruction"...the album which put him and GNR on the map. It was a hand made flame-top 1959 Les Paul replica...but again with Seymour Duncans in it. It's weird that Gibson based his signature model off of a copy of a Gibson.

But having said all that, I've not played it. But I don't see that there would be anything wrong with it...I'm sure it sounds fine.

Im aware of that, he said as such in his Book. I just was wondering who out there had one is all.

I wish $3500 was all it would cost to get his talent. I am "OK" with GnR's stuff but he did a Hendrix tribute one night on TV and, WOW....the dude has some nice stuff in his toolkit.

Yeah, I was a little "ok, curly hair...funny hat" when Appetite came out. Not making fun anymore.
