There’s been a lot of talk about the necks on these. The one I have has a medium neck which is correct and it weighs just over 8.5 Ibs. But it seems the average weight of these is around 10.5 Ibs with a fat neck. I tried two and the weight and neck difference was considerable. Not sure if the fatter neck correlates with the weight. The finish seems to range from a faded honey burst and slightly faded cherry burst too. The one Danish Pete tests out on the Andertons video has a really dark cherry burst compared to any other example I’ve seen. Both are correct for the early 90’s as someone mentioned here. Slash had it refinished mid Illusions tour. All in all, it’s a cracking guitar. I like the slimmer neck profile, and I’m glad I snagged one that’s so light compared to most. No quality control issues that I can see so far, and no outrageous tooling marks on the fretboard. I’m even happy with the pickups. I replaced my November burst and Appetite LP pickups with Slash's Seymour Duncan APH-2S and was going to do the same with these, but these are surprisingly really good. So I won’t bother. I wonder if they’ve tweaked them slightly, or if it’s down to the guitar itself. It resonates for ages, far longer than any other LP I have or have had.

So Gibson finally released Jessica into their core line yesterday. Arguably Slash’s most famous and most used Guns guitar. https://gazette.gibson.com/news/introducing-the-gibson-slash-jessica-les-paul-standard/?sc_src=email_1849270&sc_lid=202195461&sc_uid=ZWsZu4C8Rs&sc_llid=81929&sc_customer=191c7396-f958-4bea-be53-96eaf517ad59&utm_source=Emarsys&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4.9.24%3A+Slash+"Jessica"+Les+Paul+Standard

That noodle went on forever. Felt like half an hour and I love a long Slash noodle. As long as there’s just one. Myles said he was getting a great vibe from the Brum crowd, although I didn’t feel it myself where I was. But he seemed really in tune with it and said so a few times.

I got dragged down the Swift rabbit hole after my daughter told me to sit down and seriously listen to some of her stuff just before Christmas. Now my daughter is a big rocker and Guns is her favourite band, so I gave her the benefit of the doubt and eventually did that. And I get it now.

Well, that’s true 🤣

🤣 And that’s not an Americanism either.

Damn. I really don’t need the CD version. So I expect I’ll have to order a couple.

Damn I feel old after reading these answers. 53.

My avatar is Axls Milton Keynes 1993 microphone. Caught and shoved down my pants with skill and dexterity. Not to mention speed as I didn’t want to get elbowed in the face and kicked in the nuts for it. All of which I’d seen happen at previous shows.

I’ve held off commenting about this song for weeks now. I think I’ll keep that up.

Yeah, no update at all. I think I ordered it within minutes of it going up on the site too.

Not at a show, but someone was wearing one at the Hard Rock in Piccadilly. They look even worse in real life. I couldn’t take my eyes off it they are that bad.

That’s not forum etiquette 🤣

Birmingham and London locked in.

Sounds about right. 🤣
