RandallFlagg Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Does it come with a mechanical finger that zips out and auto-corrects offensive string bending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Not to slag him or whatever but how does Matt heafy receive a Epiphone signature while Dj Ashba gets a les paul straight away? Trivium have been around for ages and have millions of fans, they are all over the guitar magazines... Dj is famous because of Guns, but he isn't really known as a guitar player when you compare him to guys like Matt or even people in his own band. Congrats to him, but I hope this pushes him to actually pick his guitar up when he's not on stage... which he doesn't seem to be doing right now.Heafy is a pretty good guitarist, he was 19 when Ascendancy was released, ninefuckingteen lol. Shogun is my fave record, the guy's not even 30 yet.Yes Ashba is successful but not cause he's particular great at guitar, he's alright and knows how to exaggerate his stature with social media.

maynard Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 So much butthurt in this thread that DJ is successful and relevant.Yeah it reminds me of another GN'R forum where everyone is butthurt because of Slash being famous and relevant... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 If people buy those expensive swag jeans they will flock to the guitar. Whatever, don't really agree with the guy having a signature guitar relevant to how little he has done with the instrument but he's not too much of an atrocious player in perspective, I'm sure there's a lot worse guys who have crappy clotheslines and their own guitar range.

The above list is the tip of the iceberg. Guess none of them Instagrammed or hashtagged enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I dislike most of musician's side-business ventures, it's just that Ashba doesn't exude exuberance in his music imo but he is in GNR so we accept him as best we can and hope he will try to improve/raise his game for the sake of GNR.

username Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Does it play Sweet Child O Mine intro in Ashbas own unique way?No, it has a little harddrive with an MP3 system in it. That way even DJ can "play" it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Does it come with a mechanical finger that zips out and auto-corrects offensive string bending?I could see it taking your perfectly in tune bends that you've practiced all your life to do well, and making them sour by default no matter what you do.

RandallFlagg Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 This thread might as well be closed, there is little to say that's positive about Ashba's playing that would warrant him having a signature guitar and even if you say he's an adequate player who is capable of about five good solos until he runs out of options due to his imitations, limitations and refusal to actually focus on developing as a musician beneficial to Guns N' Roses standards, it's the end of what's good about him in a guitar discussion.

ThinkAboutYou Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Two things I like about it the color and that it's a Gibson, if it was free I would take one then sell it for a Slash Goldtop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Other than Ashba's typically gaudy asthetics, the guitar looks pretty cool. I mean, it's a Gibson Les Paul for Christsakes, how bad can it be? Also, I'm a sucker for a kill switch. Like someone else said, varnish over Ashba's name on the neck and you've probably got quite a nice little guitar.

bacardimayne Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) It's not an offensive looking guitar. I'm quite surprised it doesn't have any #demented vampire imagery to appeal to the Hot Topic crowd. I'd buy it over Ron's cheese monstrosities any day and just sand out the word "Ashba". That said, it says a lot about the state of rock when DJ Ashba is considered an ambassador for the genre worthy of a custom guitar line from the most reputable brand in the business.

Gibson is so up their ass about their own reputation that they've let their QC slip, cheap out of materials, and keep raising prices. They finally pulled their heads out with their X line, but my Korean LTD 1000 plays light years ahead of my 2 Gibsons that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
