- ushakov 5y agototally agree, not the best choice ergonomically (btw. check out Strandberg Guitars) mine rarely sees the sunlight because i get tired quickly but i won't be selling it, the value has skyrocketed ~10-20% since the pandemic
- omarhaneef 5y agoYou have to wear it around your knees.
- kgwxd 5y agoDo they come with a Slash hat, or is that sold separately?
- ushakov 5y agofun fact: if you a buy a Slash collection Les Paul, you'll get a nice illustration on the back of the headstock https://guitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Gibson-Slash-Les-Paul-9@1400x1050.jpg https://guitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Gibson-Slash-L...
- omarhaneef 5y agoIt is not just Slash. Even Jimmy Page wore it almost by his ankles. Pretty sure it improves feedback.
- ninkendo 5y agoI'm not sure if it's the same in the reliability department, but in 2015 they released a Les Paul "Less+" variant, with a much thinner body than the traditional Les Paul, while otherwise looking identical. It feels very comfortable to play (at least for me), and IMO it makes it a better guitar than the standard Les Paul, although they only seem to have made them for one year. It also has automatic tuning pegs (Gibson G-Force), which is a big quality of life improvement IMO. (The only issue was the stock nut they give you, it tends to have poor tuning stability... it would grip the wound strings while tuning in a way that makes it hard to arrive at the right pitch. But replacing it with a graphtech tusq synthetic bone nut fixed that issue completely.)
- kgwxd 5y agoI'm actually in the market for a decent guitar I'll have to try one out. The original hard edge was a little annoying but my main issue is more with how far to the right the guitar sits compared to a Strat, this looks like it might sit the same.
