NGD: 2008 Gibson "Inspired by Slash" Les Paul VOS

[101stCentury]

Hi all!

Not quite NGD (had her for a few months), but I finally snagged one of these beauties. Limited release of 300 back in 2008 - it's been a dream of mine to own one ever since. Only a couple pictures, but check her out in action in the linked video!

Sweet Lester! HNGD!

 

[Shoeless_jose]

Damn filthy.

Plain tops are so underrated

 

[Djentlyman]

AHH! I want one of them. Yours looks awesome.

Has it had a re-fret?

 

[Shoeless_jose]

How is there not more talking about this filthy axe.

357 views, is everyone scared to comment on a tun-o-matic guitar...

 

[BlackSG91]

Nice looking Les Paul...it needs a pick guard.

This is a really freaking cool guitar. I'm not really a Slash fan, but these plain tops are stunners.

Congrats!

Given the average SSO poster's opinion on Gibson, I'd say they're not commenting out of respect.

Maybe it's because i'm so used to seeing crazy figured tops, but man, I never knew I had such a thing for plain tops until I saw this guitar. HNGD, bud.

 

[Thanatopsis]

Awesome dude. Having just acquired a kick ass LP Custom myself, I know how you must feel. Enjoy it, I know I've been loving mine.

 

[AkiraSpectrum]

Something to consider is that for those of us in our 20s whom there are quite a few on this board (and I'm heavily guilty for this), none of the guitar heroes we really grew up with played Gibson and/or Les Pauls. Especially anyone who grew up with shred, most think Vai, Satch and Gilbert (all Ibanez artists). Gibsons just don't have the 'mojo' that they used to with the younger audiences now.

Hey, let's not do this in the dude's NGD.

That's a gorgeous Les Paul mate and no pickguard/holes for the win as well. The AFD guitar of Slash's had such an iconic look (Even tho ironically it was a Gibson copy). Happy NGD

Apologies!

Back on topic, happy NGD! I remember when I finally got to own one of 'those' guitars, the ones that are on your own personal bucket list, how good it felt!

Agreed. I have a lowly Gibson Les Paul Classic but still blows my mind that its mine everytime i play it

Beautiful guitar man. I started getting seriously interested in guitar when I started listening to Bill Kelliher’s guitar work on the early Mastodon stuff, so although I mostly play shredders now, a good LP has a special place in my heart. That thing looks killer, HNGD!

 

[BenjaminW]

Fuck, that's nice.

Not that I'm aware of haha. Why do you ask?

Yeah, I can understand that. I'm 23, and the guitarists I latched onto early on were either playing EBMMs or exotics like Blackmachines. I have two weaknesses: (black) strats cause of David Gilmour and LPs cause of Slash.

Regardless of tastes on this board, sharing with all of you fellow guitar-lovers is always a treat!
