Slash's #1 Stage Guitar Can Be Yours! - The Gibson 'Jessica' Slash Les Paul

- Опубліковано 21 тра 2024
- Dagan checks out the unbelievable Gibson Slash Signature 'Jessica' Les Paul! A Hard-Rocking Tribute to Slash's Number One Stage Guitar! Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver fans will undoubtedly be familiar with the guitar that Slash named 'Jessica.' Jessica has been Slash’s main stage guitar since 1988. The original Jessica was a factory second and one of two Les Paul guitars that Gibson sent to Slash in the late 80s. Now Gibson is proud to introduce a new model based on Slash’s old favourite!

Jessica features a three-piece plain maple top on a non-weight-relieved mahogany body and a mahogany neck with a 50s Vintage neck profile. Jessica is powered by a pair of Custom Burstbucker pickups with Alnico 2 magnets that are hand-wired to Orange Drop capacitors. Originally a bright Cherry Sunburst, Slash had Jessica refinished, which is reflected, minus the considerable road wear on the original, in the gloss nitrocellulose Honey Burst with Red Back finish used on the new model. Slash’s signature is reproduced on the truss rod cover, and Schaller Strap Locks are preinstalled on the guitar. Other extras include a Slash pick set, a USA leather strap, a multi-tool, and a blank truss rod cover in the included hardshell case.

Congrats to Slash for getting a signature model!
😂
*another
Something new, finally!
How many signatures does he have now, LOL?
Dagan’s reaction is MY reaction every time I hear Slash’s tone!! The guy’s tone really is so unique!! The grit in the bridge pickup and then the smoothness in the neck are unlike anything else!! 🤤🤤
epiphone Jessica with open book headstock would be the nuts
So true. I hate the flame veneers on Epis and would love to see theee pieces of boring maple on top of one. (Though I prefer the kalamazoo headstock)
May be the nuts but the price would be nuts
I’m sure it’s in the works
Just $US1990
I would just get a standard epiphone honeyburst 😂
Mate, I’m so old I was buying “Appetite..” when it was their current album from Tower on Piccadilly - anyone remember? - and your Nightrain just gave me shivers down my spine.
The power of Gibson.
🙏🤘
Dagan electrified! Great playing as always! Nice guitar also. Thanks for the video!
Christ, thats a rocking tone right there
🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Dagan for not being afraid to play Slash Riffs, in the world of "we won't play anything properly so we don't get de-monitsed.....". Awesome vids and playing as always. I ways look forward to your Vids. RNFNR!
Sounds and looks... GREAT!!! The way that three piece top glimmers is WICKED!!! 🤘
Man , that’s a screaming demon of sonic bliss unleashed!! Love 💕 it! Great 😊 demo Dagan!!
I got to know what Dagan was plugged into! It sounds so good paired with this guitar!
Blackstar St James 6L6 🤘
@@PMTVUKthat might be one of his best tones ever!
first thing I thought when I saw this guitar on the Gibson website: when will I see the Dagan review?
Great sounds as usual, thx
Great playing from Dagan. Guitar sounds a beast.
Cheers! 🤘
Been waiting for this 🤟
Dagan: a.k.a. when you love your job, it shows.
Big Slash fan here. Seen G n' R live 3 times & Slash with both his Snakepit, plus the Conspirators. I've got a 2010 Custom Shop 'AFD' (Anniversary pressie from the missus). The Seymour Duncan APH-2 pups these are modelled off are really great sounding pups. They nail his tone pretty much perfectly.
Yo brother it doesn’t matter what guitar you play but every time you get in that zone you make me want that guitar!! It’s fun to watch you get into a specific guitar and artist and just rock out! You’re awesome brother!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Another banger from the lord and saviour dagan himself 🤟🤟🤟 always love to see it!
🤘🤘🤘
What an absolute beauty
Amazing sound, i stopt playing guitar 8 years ago and I still miss it, every Day, I played a Gibson les Paul traditional with slash pick ups with jcm 800 (81) with boost pedal , I played classic rock, now i thinking to start again I like the Jessica and the november burst, are there many differences quality/sound, and is it worth the extra price, also the pickups sound amazing (many comments on that), I know I have to try en feel it before buying, so you like the Jessica the most
Sounds great! What amp are you using?
Killer guitar!! Might have to save up for this one. What is that strap you are using Dagan??
The Dunlop Black Thistle 👌
Love it. I have a few Slash signatures & they are amazing. Here in the US the Jessica finish looks A Lot lighter. Love the darker finish the UK seems to have.
Only issue I have is the price. It’s a reissue of a factory 2nd. So why the full price? I’ll wait for the demo shop to have one or get the Epiphone version.
Or just find a great honey burst and throw some slash pickups in there? I had a november burst and a few other post 2019 LP 50s, and there were no differences between them aside from the color and the pups. I preferred my wildwood standard over the slash LP but did add the slash pups and sold the november burst. I guess if the whole 3 piece top is important to you thats another thing, but if not just get a honey burst plain top and add some pickups.
@@slashtrio This is the way to go if you don't need the three piece top. I can't pay over 12k for another replica. Just find a Honey Burst and mod it then your in the ballpark. Now you just have to learn how to play like Slash with all the money you saved.. I think this is the best choice for Slash fans with an empty pocketbook.. I still don't understand Gibson's pricing. 6k for the AFD Custom Shop version was right on the money. Double that for "Jessica" and what do you really get? I guess I will wait for the USA version and save a few shekels.
I love this dude, you can tell when he is playing a good guitar
Wow great tone! What is the gear? That drive is amazing!!
Straight into the Blackstar St James 6L6 🤘
Oh man that guitar sounds amazing. And civil war you did sounded fantastic. Prob my fav guns tune.
Yes that sounds good and the way you are playing on it makes it sound eving better you took that Gibson Les Paul to a nother level that's what's what I would consider a 12 ranking 😮yep
Bro... That shirt is the real star here! 🔥🔥🔥
Love watching All your videos Dagan your an awesome guitar god keep up the fantastic work you do here on you tube
Info on the tone in this video? It’s lovely
@pmtvuk What's the strap on this video? I do need one
I’m using the Dunlop Black Thistle strap 👌
I’m torn, Jessica or Appetite Burst? I love em both.
Ive never seen Dagan vibe so much with a guitar
Dagan is the neck on Jessica thicker than the other Gibson Slash Les Pauls? I have heard Jessica is a thicker neck. You rock Dagan!
Probably not. It’s likely the same neck profile.
Essa é guitarra e braba
Dagan what guitar strap is that ? Ur a tall guy like mysef and alot of regular straps are just to small. Need a longer strap . Cheers.. kick ass guitar by the way
It’s the Dunlop Black Thistle strap. Dunlop do great long straps, as do Ernie Ball 🤘
Wating for the new Epiphone Line review
I wish this was affordable 😢 I have a Epiphone les Paul standard but this one is nice
💥❤️🔥🎸
Did I miss it or you didnt say what amp you are using?
Blackstar St James 6L6 into a Two Notes Torpedo Captor X 🤘
@@PMTVUK sounded killer!!
idk what amp you're using but that sounded absolutely fucking killer!!!
That is a definate possibility as thats what has happened in the past with models like Joe Bonamassa, Jared James Nichols, Adam Jones and others.
Man, that particular Les Paul sounds superb. Very Vintage sounding. I bet it could nail Jimmy Page Live tones.
Man you rippp!!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽✌🏽
The only problem i see with GIBSON USa les paul is the colour of the freatboard...light brown as a tree wich cut yesterday
$400 bucks extra for no nibs.
Great deal.
My 2001 Std also doesn't have a flametop. I don't have a tophat either...
Take a shot every time Dagan says Jessica
… Jessica 🥃
No problem, Im from Poland!
I'm new to the guitar field, but can i plug headphones to this to play at home without disturbing anyone?
Uh...you can plug your guitar into any number of effects processors, amps, or even headphone amps which can do this for you. I would recommend not starting with a 10lb LP.
@@iancurrie8844 thank you so much😘
Check out the new BOSS Katana Go headphone amp 🤘 You plug it into your guitar, and then headphone out of it and get all your favourite amp sounds and effects! We’ve got a video here on the channel, check it out!
@@PMTVUK thank you ❤️❤️
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now, that's paint color is closer to the original. The other ones I have seen are too bright, too honey. Jessica is much more red. This one looks way better.
It never faded , he had it re sprayed
Who paints your nails?
Hey buddy where's the 2024 rig run down?
AMP SETTINGS PLEASE !
Blackstar St James 6L6, Gain channel, voice 1, gain and all EQ at 1 o clock 🤘
I like the color etc. But no fret nibs for a guitar over 3,000 is a no for me.
I hope Epiphone makes a copy (less $ than Gibson and a good guitar). I'll take an Epi any day!
Dang shes hawwwwt 🤤🤤🤤🎸🎸🎸
New day, same thing. Gibson Les Pauls, SGs, etc. can't really be improved upon, so instead, they decided to sell artist endorsed copies for higher prices. The Jimmy Page SG double neck, the Lizzy Hale Explorerbird, the Dave Mustaine Flying V, etc. Fender can't improve on the Strat or Tele, so they relic them so you can pretend that it's a vintage guitar. Don't do it! Save some money and buy a used guitar instead and use your own blood, sweat, tears, and gigs to get it to look that way. Or don't, and take care of it instead. I have had the same Strat i bought used for 30 years, and after countless hours of playing and gigs, it still looks fantastic because I take care of it.
Lol you are MAD you can't afford it
They could improve their QC.... I stopped buying Gibson after going through 4 guitars with major QC issues, that cost thousands of dollars. No thanks, I'll stick with PRS for my more expensive guitars. I have one Gibson today, a Les Paul, and the only reason it's done right is because I ordered it from the custom shop. I'm mainly an Ibanez and Charvel player, but sometimes I like to switch it up with a PRS or a Fender when I'm feeling the blues. I'm not saying all Gibson guitars are bad... but you really have to shop around to find one that's worth buying, outside of ordering one custom.
@@american_psycho1147 Lol basic Gibson fanboy response.
@american_psycho1147 I have 11 guitars, including a 1977 LP custom, a PRS 513, the Strat, and a Taylor. All bought used. It's not that I can't afford them, I just don't see the point.
Really? A "used" 1959 Gibson Les Paul is nearly the price of a new house dude.
You dont have to be a "fan boy" to be able to do basic math.
Besides,...most technology undergoes incremental improvements throughout the active life of the product design.
Cars got seatbelts, bigger better engines, air bags, brighter headlights,.etc etc,..
Airplanes got jet engines and ditched propellers.
Televisions went from heavy picture tubes into the digital age and got lighter, more reliable, and got wifi.
The Strat went from 3 selector switch to a 5 way, the new single coils are really stacked humbuckers and "noiseless" and the bridge pickup has been connected to the tone knob since the mid 90s.
Modern Les Pauls have weight relief , coil taps, coil splits and briefly a volute on the neck to help with headstock breaks and "automatic tuners",.but the less said about the robo-tuners the better LoL!
Signature guitars have been around in large numbers for the last several decades,.i have no idea why youve just caught onto them now,.LoL.
Eddie was putting his name on stuff, or at lest actively promoting his gear back when magazines like Guitar World were the only mass media devoted to this subject.
Most people whom buy these instruments arent gigging musicians at all,..and many whom are, are only part-time and play in church or do a few gigs over a few weekends,..theres no real opportunity to mimic Clapton and Page and play countless shows night after night over years/decades to get that "used" look
SRV, Mike McCready and John Frusciante all have Strats that look pretty,.well,."used",.but sound fantastic, and maybe a lot of folks find that look inspirational!
I dont want to invest good money in something that isnt going to change over time and that looks just like everyone else guitar.
If youve seen one fiesta red or cherry red strat youve seen them all,..seen one blue, green or white strat,..youve seen them all.
A "used" looking reissue instrument from the classic rock era costs orders of magnitude less than a vintage instrument that might just have dodgy construction.
You personally might not like it ,.but the math is irrefutable,..4 or 5 grand for a custom shop is less than 35 or 40 plus for a guitar made when manufacturing was still post war era.
great sounding guitar!
but be aware of the fact that each les paul will sound different. I wouldn't blindly order a Jessica in the hope that it will sound exactly like this one ;).
87 Standards did not have a 50s neck profile.
Also 87 standards had swiss cheese weight rellief
Correct. In fact, the current production Les Paul "classic" is closer to the real "Jessica" than this model is.
@@iancurrie8844 So true!
