I just can't get interested in most of these artists' replicas. Just think what the price of LS-50's will shoot up to now! :lol:

Yeah, I'm with you Joe - "Gee Dad, if you buy me this guitar for graduation, I'll be able to play just like Slash!!"

Cracks me up that in the first one's listing, it comes with "a super cool Slash pick!" and set neck construction is one of the selling points.

How can they sell this overpriced stuff? Don't they realize the state of the world economy? I'll take 3 high quality japanese guitars over 1 of these!

The three piece topped Slash guitar sold at our GC in 15 minutes. Lots of people interested. I really love the MIJ's though.

Someone asked a question about the weight of the guitar and the reply was......... 'This one weighs in at 8.2 lbs.. Almost a perfect weight.' So I've asked what a perfect weight is. Let's face it, at nearly 5000 bucks it's got to be right.:roll:

I love this. Not on the website, but on all the press releases.

"Historically accurate short neck tenon, just like the one on Slash's original"

I don't care how accurate it is, I want a real neck tenon for that price!

I got a reply to my question about the perfect weight;

'I don't know... People say an 8 pound Lester is perfection.. '

Good to know.

I DO like the look of the Epi Slash model...nice tobbaco burst....but it's an Epi :x
