troccoli Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 For those that haven't seen this:http://www.julienslive.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/192/lot/82589/?url=%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F192%2F%3Fpage%3D6 Unlike many auctions, this one actually has provenance not only from the guitar tech for Slash in the early days, but from Slash himself too! Wish my bank account could swing this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troccoli Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'd say! Maybe we pool all of our money here at mygnr and it spends each week in a different home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 If I had the money, this is something which I would bid for. Who is auctioning this guitar? how did they get it in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liqddynamite Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) If I had that kind of scratch for something like this, its hard to think I'd go for Slash's BC rich instead of a staged played les paul. Edit: I've reconsidered after reading the post below this, haha this is pretty fucking awesome. Edited October 11, 2016 by liqddynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Wow. Some serious fuckin history in that guitar. First show with Axl? First show with GnR? Wrote fucking Jungle on it?!?!??!?! It really should be in the R&R HoF if you ask me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexAxl Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Wow Slash, dude what are you doing? There is just ONE fucking place this guitar should be that's your living room framed on wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just ONE fucking place this guitar should be that's your living room framed on wall. Slash said a few times in interviews that he's not the collector - kind of guitar player. So I guess he's not really sentimental about it. But what I don't get: It says that this guitar was "custom ordered" in 1984 by Slash... I thought they were always broke like hell at that time? I was expecting something like this was second hand ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitar is currently owned by his original guitar tech from the early days of GNR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-W.A.R- Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 guys Slash isn't the one selling it lol he likely gave this as a gift to someone long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 it would be very hard for me to part with something like this though i'd only sell it in dire situation or if somebody offered an obscene amount for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnr Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 If he is the one selling it, it's a crime. If is someone else selling it, it's a crime too, so just buy it Slash!! You should keep this guitar with you forever and then pass it to your kids and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well true, he doesn't seem to be that much of a sentimental kind of guy. Maybe Axl will buy it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorderlineCrazy Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I think he does love some of his guitars, this one just doesn't seem to be one of them. Remember how hard it was for him when Joe Perry asked him about his old 1959 Les Paul. Joe was willing to pay whatever Slash wanted and still it was the hardest thing ever for him.

troccoli Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 And the bidding has begun. Anyone have $30,001? Before any wiseguy comments come my way, I'm sure bidding at Julians doesn't work that way, at least at that level. Probably increments of $1000, maybe even higher.
