El Guapo Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 And another way, waaay overpriced Slash Signature guitar. Very annoying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I guess the price is no problem for upcoming 250 owners of that guitar... I must admit it sounds really good, at least based on yt videos from SMKC shows. But hey... since 2014: Les Paul Rosso Corsa Les Paul Vermilion Les Paul Anaconda Firebird Slash Signature Les Paul Brazilian Dream Not to mention all Epiphone signatures...

NeonKinight Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Almost 60.000 Reais in Brazil. It costs the same as a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Junk for $13,000. My Gibson is also a vintage sunburst and has a nicer top at $1800 That is an asinine price and Gibson is so out of touch. I was such a Gibson fan boy before and I like my Gibsons, but man, I am not surprised one bit with the issues they are having. If I HAD to spend over 10k on a guitar, it certainly wouldnt be this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slosh13 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Ridiculous price. Is it even a good investment? I don't see the short term value. The Vermillion/Corsa Rossa guitar is the one I recommend to anyone interested in getting a Slash guitar. Reasonably priced and well built. Always using mine.

Ralphelmo Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Played Vermilion with a Marshall SL5, wonderful combo. Price is reasonable too. I love how Brazilian Dream looks, with those black Seymours, and of course how it sounds, but this guitar is way overpriced. If anyone wonders why Gibson bancrupted ;d With that kind of money I can get my actual DREAM guitar from PRS' private stock.

MaskingApathy Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The reason that they've jacked the price up so much on this one (compared to the other Slash models) is that it's only 150 units available US only and it has Brazillian rosewood, because that's not as readily available and there's a lot of restrictions on it.

Ant Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I just don't get... who are these for? How many people play these models vs how many just stick 'em in a closet... they seem like fodder for guitar speculators. I can't imagine a professional slinging signature gear... nor even spending that much on a gigging instrument. Of the people who actually play the things.... can they actually play? . I'm picturing a dentist pulling it out to play SCOM... maybe pops on a tophat... rock on. Edited October 15, 2018 by Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_ Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) How much does a Brazilian Rosewood board goes for in the US? Some selected pieces of it may be really valuable depending on its shapes and patterns. Edited October 16, 2018 by default_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's expensive because it's not so easily available anymore and there's restrictions on how much they can import. That's why this guitar is only available in the US; they're not allowed to take that wood outside the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe most of the pricing from this come from the rosewood and its kind of fair tbh, oposite to all the other signature models. Thing is, is it worth? dunno.

D.Z.I. Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Nowadays, with the deplorable QC in Gibson, you would have to be insane to pay more than $1000 for one of their guitars. I don’t know if their Custom Shop is. A bit more strict with their QC, but I wouldn’t hold my breath considering how bad it has been for their regular lines of guitars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read any manufacturing complaints about them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Now that Gibson has a new CEO and leadership team in place their stuff should get a lot better. QC etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
