Gibson Slash Les Paul Standard - Appetite Amber Review

Wow, just amazing!

As a lifelong guitar player with now 10 guitars, including 3 Les Pauls, this Gibson Slash LP one really stands out! For one, specific to my guitar, the flame is really alive and feels like it's moving. Two, also in my case, this Les Paul is really light - 8.2 lbs - lighter than any of my Strats! Three, the tone is incredible and neck is just right. Yes, the pickups are a little… read more hotter than my other Les Pauls but also easily controlled with the volume knob (or by turning down the gain :) I love the fact that there's no push/pull knobs - hated that in my 2016 Standard, and the neck is super comfortable - not a large 50s but also not a super slim 60s, it's somewhere in the middle. Thanks to Bob Furlong for helping me secure this specific Appetite burst immediately and for going the extra mile always like making sure I'm sure on pre-order lists for new releases, and let's face, making sure I get my fix of Bit-O-Honey! :) Rock on brothers...

Slash Standard LP Appetite Amber

First of all, I would like to thank Rob Kramer and his team for always caring about what is important to me, these guys are THE best. This is only the second American made Gibson Les Paul I have ever owned in my 56 years, the other is a 2017 Tribute Gold Top. I wanted to have at least one Elite guitar in my collection, and as always Sweetwater made it possible for me to do that.… read more I love this guitar, and the workmanship is outstanding. I have never played an LP with a 50's neck profile, I never thought I would like it but I do. This guitar is beautiful with an amazing top, and the tone is fantastic. I love everything about it and Sweetwater provides many payment options that make it possible for a regular Joe to afford to own a guitar fit for a legend. Thanks again, I will be back for more later!!

Gibson Les Paul Standard Slash Appetite Burst

This guitar is everything you could wish for in a Les Paul especially if your a Slash fan fit and finish and playability are awesome… The new Gibson under JC at the helm are the best made Gibsons in the last two decades for sure. Gibson is definitely back…

Slash LP delivers!

After playing a new 60s Les Paul Standard for a few months, I started to look at the 50s models. The Slash Standard LP has many of the 50s appointments and so I was on the hunt for one. I worked with my Sweetwater Sales guy and we found one with a nice top and that weighed about 8 1/2 pounds. Getting a LP under 9lbs was important to me and I'm glad that I was picky; this one… read more is very resonant and easy to play for long periods of time. The Slashbucker pickups sound great to me. I love the neck carve and the guitar is all that I could hope for. I did add the included pick guard as I think Les Pauls look better with it on. The Appetite Amber top is beautiful and the figuring of the wood is very nice. I think that the Slash LP is at the top of the production line and is probably as good as it gets without spending considerably more money for a Reissue or Custom.

Gibson Slash Les Paul Standard

This is an amazing guitar!!! I have had a few Gibsons over the years and the quality was hit or miss. I bought a Les Oaul Traditional two months ago and absolutely loved it. I had been a PRS addict for the last few years and had several ORS Guitars, the Les Paul surprised me with how good it was. The $1,999 Gibson was as good as my $5,000 PRS, I played it more and really enjoyed… read more it. When I got the chance to get the Slash Les Paul I had to do it. I was hoping it was as good as the Traditional and it turned out to be even better. As the owner of PRS 10 Too guitars I couldn't believe how beautiful the Appetite Burst Les Paul was. It is stunning! When I picked it up and played it felt and sounded as good as it looked. Such a solid guitar with a nice chunky neck and so much raw power coming from the pickups yet they maintain clarity. You can hear every note in a chord, it's a beautiful sound. The guitar is so resonate that when you play you feel the notes through your hands and body of the guitar. It really adds a whole new level of feel to playing, bending and vibrato are so easy, you can be so expressive playing this guitar. I seriously recommend this guitar. I have a lot of guitars, a lot of expensive guitars and they pretty much sit or hang on the wall now. This guitar is my Number 1.
