I have to say that regardless of where your loyalties are that is one smokin hot lookin guitar, wow. That said I would have to be not only rich but an amazing guitar player to ever even come close to dropping over $4000 on a guitar. I know the process and finish of a Gibson makes them more expensive but I don't know why they can't put out guitar with the binding and finish for under $2000.

Neither do I man. I couldn't part with that kind of cash for a guitar I wasn't sure I would love. The more I see it the more I like it though but I honestly couldn't get it especially now being associated with the mans associates, I would just look sad I'm guessin.

Did anyone ever see the Joe Perry 'Boneyard' Les Paul? It was an acquired taste but I really liked it. If I was goin for a Gibson signature it would most likely be Page's 'Number 2' though.

I can't see spending almost 5 grand for a Les Paul.Last week I played the nicest Les Paul I've ever held and it was an Epi 1959 reissue for only $1,100 so for that money I could get 3 Epi Les Pauls and a real nice Fender amp or two.

one of those 3 Epi's would have to be the 56 Goldtop with P-90's(aside from a friend's dad's '60 LP, the nicest i have played,)!! :wink:

You bring up a point that I was having a discussion about only yesterday. A friend and I were talking about dream guitars and I mentioned a Clapton Strat. His answer was "no matter how much you love a player don't you find it weird being a grown man playing a guitar with someone else's autograph on it?" In your case Celtic you'd probably get some groans and laughs from pulling that bad boy out for sure. I think that unless it was a custom shop or a special edition I don't know if I'd want a mass produced signature guitar.

Exactly bro, I don't see a problem matching specs but the whole name thing just puts me off. As a major fan I would by a Stradlin sig but I wouldn't be pulling it out live, it'd be as a collector piece. I mostly play a 72 Tele Custom RI and for me thats a 70's Keith Richards and Ju Ju Hounds era Izzy Stradlin sig rolled into one without the whole autograph on the headstock thing.

I don't have much of an appetite for that at all, especially for the price (2600 is what I paid for my Strat and Tele combined >_>).

It is funny how they have come out with this model when Slash never even hid the fact that he used a knockoff on the album. Like CC and Twelvebar stated the guitar was built by Chris Derrig who also built him two others later on.

Everyone who plays a Les Paul is playing a guitar with someone else's autograph on it...

+1 on the Izzy Stradlin comments...I love his playing.

That guy was the heart and soul of Gn'R (no offense to Slash)...he was to Gn'R like what Keith Richards is to the Stones; the group doesn't "work" without him.

I guess you could say the same about Fender.

Amen to that!!

And Hoeycow you are right, I even have Leo's autograph on my stands if you look at it that way!

I have no problem playing a signature model if it is a good guitar. My favorite Stratocaster is an Eric Johnson model, although its pretty hard to tell it is a signature model since there is no way to know unless you look at the neck plate.

I look at it as more of an artist designed model.

I would love to play one of those. Nearly everyone I know who has says it's the perfect Strat.

I honestly never heard an Eric Johnson song before I bought the guitar. Now I have heard every Guns N Roses song, and I gurantee I would not sound like Slash if I bought that guitar!

:lol:

Its so true!

I was reading through my old issues of Guitarist the other day and was reading the review of the EJ Strat. I really have to have a go on one sometime!
