Slash's New Acoustic

CHRISB50

Slash has had a new acoustic made with back and sides wood taken from 'The Tree', a 3000 year old arctic spruce top, all finished off with fossilised whale bone tuning pegs!

Very nice but the bridge looks like a turd.

Man, that is one fugly acoustic. The top doesn't go with the ugly orange back and sides at all. Would have looked much better with a dark rosewood. Might sound nice though!

nice to know that Slash has the same GAS problems as the rest of us! Just hos cost him alot more....

I also think it's ugly, but I would love to play it

surprised it doesn't have a cut away

I quite like it, not a fan of the tuner buttons though.

Maybe he's gonna use it as his camp fire strummer

Oof -  that's the Jodie Marsh of acoutsic guitars!

I think it looks superb, I'd love to try it. Based on slash's love of guild acoustics I've got a fair idea of it's designed feel

Reminds me of the Taylor Cujo story

Col_Decker

I likes that.

I thought Slash used Ernie Balls.

I am pleased that it is not a Counterfeit guitar.

Camp fire starter more like !

That is one ugly guitar, and not only for the blatant ostentation.

i like the guitar, but not so much the bridge or tuner buttons.   although the design of the bridge does give me ideas, its just the shape I don't like

Surely he doesn't have to pay for his hos at all...

I've just checked out the actual guitar, and I have to say that there's not a single thing about it that I dislike.

Bridge looks very wrong.

The figured mahogany is lovely, I would have picked a nicer top for it, that one looks like it got dirt rubbed into the finish.

Tuner buttons are ugly too

hobbio

It's from a 3000 year old tree, I'd expect it to look a bit worn.



I suppose that when you have as many guitars as Slash has it takes something special to make you open your own wallet and spring for another one.

heh, I thought you were joking about the tuning pegs.
