Just what the world needs: another Slash Les Paul.
Maybe not need, but if there wasn’t substantial “want” Gibson wouldn’t keep making them 🤷🏼♂️
The fact Gibson made it means there's an audience and market for it
It's obvious they sell well.
Yeah and they seem to be going backwards. Each one gets more boring. Wow! A plain top?🤣
@@FJB74 hahaha. The people who aren’t the target market for these guitars really do keep making it obvious!! 😉🤣🤣🤣 It’s ok… not everyone is supposed to want every guitar that gets made 🤷🏼♂️ If you’re a Slash mega-fan, which I’m not by the way, I’m sure you’ll be plenty excited about being able to buy an approved signature Jessica model.
I'm waiting until they slash the price
Beat me to it 😂
$4299 in Canada ffs 😡
Only 3 grand in usa
@@mattlincoln6845 i guess 3 grand is cheap for Americans...
@@mattlincoln6845 "only"
Man, I know we all like our flame and quilted maples tops, but I gotta say a plain maple top with a nice burst looks mighty fine as well.
Minus the 3 piece top…… too much glue and one too many seems for me
Finally a Slash model!!! 😵💫
i cannot await the soon coming model with headstock shaped like a top hat...
😂😂😂👌🏻
🤣
And we can thank partly the music industry and partly his ex wife for that 🤣🤣
This comment has won the internet for the Guitar community.
I'm a big Slash fan, went to his concert yesterday, got me a Gibson Les Paul Slash anaconda burst in 2020, not because it's a ''slash'' one, but because i REALLY like the color, AAAA flame top and a big Rock sound, amazing guitar and my main axe for a couple of years now, But......
i must say first of all, the 2024 Jessica looks great, sounds fantastic, true Rock n Roll if played right.
But i think this is a great way to scam people with prices like that for wat you get.
Looks Nothing like the real Jessica, sounds different, so when you want slash fans to buy that marketing stunt, be sure to make it legit.
Just my opinion guys.
Still a Fn great guitar, My wive is called Jessica so i would actually buy it if it was under 2500.. Just like a Standard or something.!!
Anderton's made a fantastic Video as usual, Thanks guys!!
The standard in that colour is so beautiful
3 piece tops were originally done as a cost-reduction measure, yet somehow this is almost as expensive as Gibson USA Les Pauls get. I love Gibson, but it looks like they’re repeating the same mistakes that had them filing for chapter 11 a few years back.
You’re not very bright are you? It’s a 3 piece top because Slash’s guitar was a 80s Les Paul . It’s a replica of his Guitar. Gibson is not doing 3 piece tops on Standards. Damn dude
Sure but its a 3 piece top and more expensive, wya More expensive thats The issue MATE@@samright4661
@@samright4661 they’re still cheaper to make compared to the standard 2-piece flamed tops you find on the 50s standards. No matter how you spin it, it’s a money grab for collectors.
@Yoni168
This is the opposite of what pushed them into bankruptcy. They did that by trying to move into consumer electronics. Shocker: they weren't very good at that, but realised they did have a valuable heritage as an iconic builder of guitars. That is what they have been leaning into every since, and succesfully.
@@Yoni168 It’s a replica of a Guitar! Slash fanboys will gobble them up! I have a ice tea Traditional I’m not looking for a new guitar
A lot of money for a three piece top ! I know it is a replica, but you would be crazy to buy one.
Agreed. And it's hardly a replica. It's just another version of the same USA Slash model Gibson's been making for the last several years. This time, with a deliberately lower-grade top. Honestly, if Gibson just knocked $100 off the price, I'd be fine with it, but to charge the same price as the Appetite and November Burst variants is kinda a slap in the face to buyers imo. Either way, not something I'd be interested in.
Buy a truss rod cover with the Slash logo and shazaaam... A Slash Gibson LP.
I believe Pete liked the tone of the other LP. And the way it played. He mentioned "thick neck" too many times. hahahaha
It depends how it plays and sounds. If it’s a beauty then it’s worth its weight in gold.
Played Gibsons all my life and still have 3, but 1/3 of the price is for the name. i have a lawsuit, low mileage, Open Book Headstock Sunburst Les Paul made by Crown International with an I thru the C logo with a Custom Style Crown on the Headstock. Very rare and could only find minimal info on the Web, but found a Gold Top photo of the same Guitar, but can't find any info on the Manufacturer except that Crown International was a well known Amplifier Company. It has a bolt on neck with trapazoid MOP inlays on the neck, put Gibson Deluxe tulip tuners on it, 2 early 70's Gibson PAFs, new pots/switches and if Flipping Wails. No body dings, no headstock chips and, nice maple cap. I'd put it up against most Epiphones.....and i bought it for $65 15 years ago and it sat or 12 years before upgraded and played it. Wouldn't sell it for less than a Grand.
Agreed
I got the November Burst Slash Les Paul, and the first things i noticed was how heavy it is and the neck shape. But i got used to it. I love the powerful sound it has and especially the colour. It cost me a fortune down here in Australia but I will never regret it.
Jessica. In an interrview with Agnesi he said he was drunk at the time and cant remember what made him pick the name.
Though it is funny (to me anyway) that his original "Gibson" wasnt a Gibson, and now we get expensive reissues of Jessica that was originally cheap clearance because it was b-stock. Their marketing execs seem immune to irony.
I heard that Agnesi interview too (Gibson channel, Slash's guitar collection), iirc he also said he named it after a woman the band knew in the early GnR days.
Yep; his original guitar had NO Gibson parts on it, it was a replica made from various off-the-shelf parts.
If that did happened when he was drunk that could have been anytime in a 20 year period.
@@derekchapman5167 His AFD was a very premium 59 replica. It wasn't a 'LP copy'.
Ordering this as soon as I move back to the UK. I've been waiting years for this guitar to get a general release.
Hope you shoot the AFD100 amp against Magnatone SL100 with a Slash guitar. Will be awesome to compare them!
The chunky necks are great ! They definitely make you play a certain way .
Love the unboxing!
Of all the Les Pauls I've seen, this is certainly one of them. £600 over a regular 50s USA standard for minimal difference or nothing more than a little twist of the amp knobs wouldn't fix.
Awesome review, fun and funny as always!!!😆
3 piece top and originally a factory b stock guitar originally not set to be sold but now its 3500€ for some odd reason.
Man i hope gibson file again soon
it is deliberately a 3 piece and not for the cost savings, they reverse engineer his guitar hence more labor cost and furthermore they probably have to pay him his sum for putting his name in the headstock
Just don't buy it then, what's the problem? As if Gibson has not enough guitars for every taste and budget?
@@leokrissandy5579 Reverse engineer? Bro... this is the same Slash LP they've been making for years. It's identical to the Appetite Burst and November Burst finishes but with a 3-piece top instead of a bookmatched flame top. Absolutely zero R&D went into making this version. They're just profiting off of people's stupidity, charging the same price for a cheaper-to-make instrument.
@@reverb508then don’t buy a Gibson
@@S_3182 too late. I have two custom shops. Bought them both used though. Let someone else pay the "Gibson tax".
Nice, thanks for the video
Man, every video of this guitar I see, it just sounds "special". I'd love to get these pickups.
Sounds amazing really
Sounds awesome
I love what you’ve done here, I’d be intrigued to know what this sounds in C# standard and if you kept the “Keep searching” over the bridge…
Pretty nice! I would love a Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Slash models with the open book headstock on them!
I have a Les Paul plain top that looks so incredibly similar to this. You could literally find one of these slash Jessica's for half the price and then just put a slash truss rod cover on.
The 1987 standards are, even used and beat to shit, expensive as hell… never found one under 3500€ in the last months.
I would take either. the slash guitar does have something about it that makes it sound warmer.
This is what I imagine when I think of Slash and a good Les Paul. My 2005 Classic will do, but if I didn't have it I'd buy one of these. Nostalgic look for me.
Alter bridge,slash,miles kennedy,and the drummer,amazing band❤❤❤
Slash’s favourite guitarist is Rory Gallagher…check the interview with him in Guitar World, when the first Slash solo album came out with Various Artists.
as an owner of regular 2022 50s LP I should say its an amazingly good sounding guitar. Impossible to play for me due to huge neck tho, I play Kiesel on stage but record Les Paul almost exclusevily - it sounds just that good.
I have a slash Lp and ‘09 std and the slash model have something just a little bit more! I am a fan of slash models!
That amp is so good!
that's a darn good axe, cos the grain runs the right way, thusly the great tone, loved the vid boys most excellent.
Has anyone noticed that all things are priced the same by different manufacturers. Cars, watches, tv’s and guitars are all priced very similar because that’s how markets work.
You don’t say?!! 🤣🤣🤣 It almost like different manufacturers aren’t subject to the same market forces themselves such as labour costs, material costs, etc. and as if they actual pay attention to what sell prices the market can stand and how their competitors are positioned 🤔🤣🤣🤣
@@davidburke2132 that is shocking imagine that david
sounds great
Beautiful
For a guitar of this price range, I am happy they included a guitar pick in the package 👍
Great guitar........ Nice, epic sound.
That is an amazing guitar.
Agree with the Greeny tone in the middle position. Definately has shades of that out of phase sound.
Don't take my word for it, but I recall hearing/reading somewhere in an interview his favorite guitarists are Joe Perry and B.B. King
and you need to mention Jeff Beck... huuuuuge influence for slash
Jeff Beck is his favorite
is it post production that makes the burst really bright on this or is it actually this bright on this example, have seen other reviews and even on gibsons website all seem much more faded true to jessica
Love Slash & GNR as well as velvet revolver... Cheers 🍻🥃🥃🎸 🎼🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶
need more SG variants, I'd like one modelled after Glen Buxton's, 3 humbuckers, a Bigsby, gold hardware and a very aged white finish
Even if Slash is my favourite guitar player of all time and Jessica is an awesome signature guitar, I am here for that 50's Les Paul Standard in Tobacco Sunburst 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
This is the best one.
Sweet Child O' Mine vid.
Along with Izzy's ESP
I’m 5”6 you just made my night 🥹
Did they forget they did this guitar in 2008 already?
That Marshall is a great component in this sound assemblage.
funny thing. this video came online the same day i went to the slash concert in Amsterdam.
Basically the neck and the burtbucker pro are the difference ,
I like those pickups but they are quite expensive and Slash used Duncan APH-1 on AFD which aren't
Now thats a cool top. But there seems to be a wide varition with some bordering on honeyburst
It has no fret nibs to reflect the real Jessica after it was re-fretted, and appears to have a metallic jack plate but it's hard to know for sure without seeing it directly.
Is there any classic rock song Pete can’t play and come up with a copyright free sound alike version? Genius.
The GOAT of guitars, Strats are close 2nd very close
I hope that Gibson sells many of them. I had a 3 piece top LP that I sold to help pay for a LP C8 CS. The CS LP is totally the way to go in my opinion.
Kinda freaking me out how much I like the look of that three-piece top. Usually I DESPISE that look. Like when you see a real '57 Goldtop that someone stripped decades ago to refinish it as a "Burst". Every single one of those that I've ever seen looks horrific. This thing looks awesome. Maybe it's because I've always preferred the look of the '58 plain tops to the extreme flame tops that every '59 and '60 reissue has these days. That, coupled with the fact that Gibson did a really nice job matching the three pieces of maple on the top of this particular guitar. Whatever it is, I like it.
Did you ever demo the Adam Jones Signature Les Paul Standard?
i think the headstock shape slightly different, 3 piece body, means 80s les paul..? so 80s les paul headstock lightly different?
Playing this through a THR10 desktop, sounds glorious !!
It sounds amazing. I absolutely love it.
But I think I have my sights set on the '59 Epiphone with the Gibson headstock
Yes the new ice tea 59 Epiphone les paul looks really good
I had the first Slash sig (Snakepit Epiphone). Looked great, sold it because I was more into my Ibanez RG 💀
I got the appetite LP and the necks are way bigger than anything ive ever been use to but it does play nice neck dosent bother me now but the guys arent kidding about the bigger 50 s neck
Would love to see the slash magnatone vs the AFD100
If they bring back the case blanket I’ll buy a les Paul
1:51 Are the new guitars authentically blemished, and does Gibson charge extra for that?
Is the neck huge huge or just a little beefy like the Victoria & the AFD?
You should try it through a Blackstar, best sound I've ever had.
Got one on order with the captain can’t wait…….
😝
Hearing sweet child o’ mine on the bridge pickup just feels sacrilegious
Pete is a brilliant guitar player, but he doesn’t seem like a GNR guy
Right on time! Ta, lads.
Rory Gallagher I think… pretty sure I’ve seen a slash interview where he talks Rory
Yup.
So having watched the video I'll say what's not to like?
That's a pretty sweet guitar.
Who won the lotto tomorrow I would definitely own every Slash model.
I don't love the Anaconda and Vermilion. But I'd probably get them too.
How many Slash Gibsons are there now?
And not just Les Paul's but is there a Firebird a double neck in the j45's... I didn't like a 335 come out?
I love Slash but I can't keep track.
Definitely a cool guitar. But I think the real winner here is the afd100. When are Marshall going to give us an afd20 so it can be used at home.
Damn I wish I could play half as good as Pete! Bloody nice guitar as well!
I haven't ordered a guitar this fast. Thanks guys for the demo! Can't wait to get mine!!! I wonder how it will compare to my actual '88 Les Paul.
I am a fan of slash but these are just USA standards with different pickups. Nothing wrong with that but there really is not anything special about them. I had a "November Burst" for a couple of years (along side two wildwood USA standards) and it was no different. I got it mainly because the burst color and maple flame were particularly nice, burt aside from that it played just like my standards. I do really like honey burst plain tops but I would just find a nice plain top and change the pups. Not a fan of the 3 piece top thing.
Nice watch, Pete!
The afd100 has the Marshall sound we have in our heads
The irony being that we actually have the sound of whichever microphone and position it was recorded with, and through whatever preamps and equipment it is mixed.
We don’t know what it sounds like on a stage or in the room unless we are in there with it.
@@ascgazz7347yeah but they normally use a pretty decent dial mic setup with a ribbon and a dynamic mic. Which is the generally accepted way to get a broad spectrum tonal capture of a speaker.
While it’s never going to sound like it does in the room, it’s good enough to represent the tone of the amp.
@@tonedowne so now you’re adding phase correction into the mix, and the tonal characteristics of two mics as well?
Doubling preamp variation and processing on the way.
Is your ribbon single diaphragm, or double?
Series or parallel?
Is the ribbon at the correct tension?
Are all the caps perfect?
All you’re doing is making a sound more enhanced to be pleasant to our ears at that moment in time.
(Or to keep the guitarist happy after they leave, then you use guitar rig from the clean DI capture) and dial in an easier to edit source. 🤣
Set it up again with mics the next day from scratch and I guarantee it’s a slightly different sound every time.
I’m a platinum credited recording engineer, with thousands of hours experience recording amplifiers in studios all over the uk.
No recording has ever sounded exactly like being in the room with the amp, not even with binaural head mics.
We choose mics depending on all sorts of factors, take an amp to ten different studios and record with ten different mics, get ten different sounds. 🤷♂️
Ask ten mixers to mix it ten times on different days, get a hundred different sounds..
We can’t even remember a sound accurately, even only seconds after hearing it. 🤷♂️
Glenn Fricker has one on that.
Even the Marshall sound comes from an amplifier modelled on a fender amplifier. 🤷♂️
Sound is so subjective, but waveforms do not lie. 👍
@@ascgazz7347 100%! That's one of the many reasons why you can buy all of your favorite artist's gear and still not sound like the record. So much of the sound comes from the recording process and post-production. A lot of people turn their nose up at amp modelers and profilers, but those products can actually get you closer to the sound on the record because the reproduce those other factors like mic placement and room size.
That said... nothing beats standing in front of a loud tube amp and feeling your body vibrate.
@@reverb508 it’s the feeling thats the important part.
People need to focus more on that feeling than the actual sound, I mean, we don’t even know that two people hear the same sound the same way.. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Ear shape outside and in, wax, humidity even makes a difference.
(Remember when Eric Johnson said he could hear if it was a Duracell in his pedals? 🤣
He might have felt it.. maybe. Big maybe.
I digress)
I personally don’t like playing emulations but I’ve fooled *plenty* of clients with them.
World of difference between a valve amp and a tranny, in feel when playing it.
Different experience listening to them while not playing tho.
Then we get to the beginning of the link, the player’s fingertips, pressure application, position on fret… where the picking hand is..
All create rich variants of the source.
How anyone expects to sound like another player even playing their personal gear, immediately after them, is hilarious.
But Marshall and Gibson is a classic combo, but what pickups, what lead, which pedals…
Man. The variables alone would confuse anyone.
The discussion has been going for decades though, and doesn’t seem to go away. Sadly!
If only we put as much effort into the musical content, as the arbitrary equipment it’s played on.
I like it! I dislike 'flouncy' guitars with AAA flame tops, so the look is great for me, no weight relief is also desirable and the alnico 2 pickups have that Telecaster on steroids, brighter tone that I prefer. I would change the truss rod cover to the blank one and put the pickguard on and ready to go!
Do you guys still have any hearing left?
The neck on the Slash model, is it similar to the SG Tony Iommi "Monkey"-guitar? That is also chunky.
I love Pete's picking technique, he is lightly stabbing the strings and it sounds like guitar is hurting but also likes it lol
Pretty guitar
Beauty
I wonder how much will it cost if they reproduce the Snake Pit LP
The good news is the big neck!! I sold my 3 LP's last fall and I'm on the hunt again! Fat neck is first on the list!! 8) --gary
Why so much hate? It's a Les Paul so it should sound like a bloody Les Paul. Of course it won't be a million miles different. There's a market to appeal Slash fans. It appeals to me, it doesn't have to appeal to you! I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I had spare cash.
I want to own all the Slash guitars ever made for the public. Love'em. If only I had the money...
I will take the standard every time 👍🏻
how many Sig Guitar does he has allready ? Lost count after the last 3 a month ago or so
I like the 50s Standard Tobacco Burst a smidgen better in looks an tone.
So are epiphone going to release a version of this?
$3,199 at Sweetwater in the USA. Seems a bit steep.
Give it time if ur patient like i was reverb will have personal owners that tire of them and save big $ i just got the 2020 appetite flame top 7 mo ago for 2400$
Slash said his fave guitarist is Jeff Beck. He mentions it briefly in his book.
Slash mentioned Rory gallagher as an influence, maybe not his favourite but definitely mentioned him
Godin Lerxst Limelight next please
just how many more times are Gibson gonna go to the Slash well. I mean how many more versions of his guitar with his pickups in do people need? Guarantee there'll be a CS version coming soon to ala Greeny.
Until "appetite for" Slash guitars drops. They must be very popular. I own a 2011 Vermillion model. It's a fantastic guitar. Never selling.
What a SWEET guitar!
O' mine
how did you get a cherry burst?
Love Jessica! (the guitar, not the rabbit). Sounds incredible.
Ooo nice guitar on the photo.
Tasty bends Pete
