Popular Post Mooch14 Posted August 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2017 https://www.google.com/amp/www.billboard.com/amp/articles/business/7904978/slash-gibson-global-brand-ambassador I think this is pretty cool. Makes sense if you ask me. When you think of Gibson guitars, you really think of the iconic image of the man with the top hat with the gold starburst les paul. I am into tons of rock and metal guitarists, and many use Gibson, but Slash really is an icon and has created timeless guitar licks with this guitar. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a great question. Eddie Trunk was discussing that today on his satellite show. One of the guys mentioned how it was funny how Appetite wasn't even recorded with an Authentic Les Paul. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were a brand ambassador for Shure 58 wireless microphones, I'm sure everyone would be fine with it because that would make sense. If he were a brand ambassador for amazingly over-priced shitty watches or amazing over-price shitty jackets, I'm sure everyone would be pissed. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMAC20 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Well Deserved -SLASH is out on the road with this tour killing it - letting a whole new generation discover the guitar - fuck yea- His whole career he has carried the torch - GIBSON AND SLASH are what rock n roll are all about - Slash has carried the torch for a long time its only fitting that the biggest guitar brand in the world names the biggest name in the guitar player world as it's first ever ambassador - As a man that loves playing guitar and hearing guitar players wail this is as good as it gets !! CONGRATS SLASH WELL FUCKING DESERVED - #guitarslayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourettes2400 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I am just wanting Gibson to release a left handed version of any Slash model. I have always wanted one. I actually said this to Meegan on Instagram and she like my comment and responded that she was going to mention it to Slash. So maybe that helps a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think os Slash, other than the hat and the hair, the first thing that comes to mind is a Gibson Les Paul. Good for him I guess, and it makes total sense, he's been rocking the Les pauls for 30 years or so. Personally, I love Les Pauls and the ES-335, but Gibsons are some of the most overpriced guitars considering the huge dip in quality of their products in the last 15 years.
