Goede demo! Finally someone who doesn't throw the gain to 11 and actually shows the honest guitar sound. Think I'll go for the cheaper version
whats wrong with gain... there is nothing to be scared of. its not a jazz guitar
Tasty tone
I always find it funny that Slash played a Les Paul copy. Was never a Gibson.
Yup, I believe the custom shop in this video though is based on a real Gibson though.
His Appetite for Destruction (main studio guitar) was a copy made by Kris Derrig.
His 87 Les Paul (like the custom shop at the beginning of this video) is a real Gibson that's his main stage guitar.
His OG appetite was better than a Gibson. Basically custom made. Excalibur.
@@WhatAFluke which is a copy from his gibson copy😂
@@zem69666 he bought two gibsons at cost price to tour with when things were taking off for the band , Plain tops , his derrig is a flame top
He also had another made by max baronet , and a while earlier a burst that used to be Steve hunters from Alice Cooper , this was a Gibson ,but he sold it when short of dough
@@Havanacuba1985 is the baranet a plain top??? Btw thanks for the info
Great video-really interesting. I have the signature which I use for majority of videos- I thought it sounded nice until I heard the custom 😂🤤
Just put the Duncan pickups in yours and it will sound just like the custom.
@@Panic42000 I think I probably will- I have a pair of custom pups on my studio so may well swap them over!
I’ve got a nice 1987 Les Paul standard with Tim Shaws. Sounds amazing, feels amazing but in all seriousness, just get a Standard and if you’re not happy with the pickups, change them. No need for R9, chin stroking etc.
Nobody needs an R9 but people want them and if they can afford them there is no reason not too R8s and R9s are not necessary better sounding although they are in many cases simply because custombuckers are in most cases much more clear sounding and refined but if you change pickups in the gibosn USA guitars they will sound just as good and with the right pickups can even sound better than a custom shop because as fantastic as custombuckers are you can find pickups that are even superior to them but R8s and R9s do have a different character to them. Not better just different they seem to have a deeper wider sound to them . They also have neck carves that are quite different from USA gibsons the USA 50s rounded neck and the necks on custom shop 57 and 58 reissues are quite different the 57 and 58s are way thicker .even the custom shop 59 necks which are slimmer than the 58s are still quite a bit beefier than the USA rounded 50s C. The USA 50s rounded C is more like a mid 1960 les Paul neck . Not super thick but not slim taper either. Also a USA 60s slim taper is quite different in feel and a fair bit thinner then a custom shop 1960 slim neck even the late 1960 les paul neck profile which is the thinnest of all the les paul reissues is still beefier then a USA 60s slim taper.
Even the 1961 SG custom shop reissue with a slim 60s neck is a different feel and noticeably thicket them the 60s slim taper neck on the USA 61 SG reissue. Certainly better pickups and different profiles neither if which are available on USA guitars don't justify the large mark up in price but people do buy those guitars for the more accurate sounding pickups and more accurate necks profiles and carves
I actually liked the USA model more.
2 very sweet guitars 👍
I think the 2008 had the 3-way selector 180° rotated: down position definitely is the warmer one
100% agree mate! “Up” position is definitely the bridge ’bucker!
Indeed, it was somehow rotated. Left it to the pros in the repair dept. to have a look at it after this demo was shot. A simple fix but I'm not messing with a guitar this expensive :D - Sasha
Was thinking the same thing!
No way 😮. That’s makes so much sense. I have the tobacco version (currently for sale) and I couldn’t figure out why that was. Awesome. Makes sense now. Thanks 🤙
Ill be honest, I own the Anaconda Burst Epiphone and the only difference I hear is the same difference I hear between any 2 high end Les Pauls. They all sound like Slash if you dial them in for it and the quality is there, most importantly. They're just great guitars.
The difference is in the feel of the guitar. I've had both the epi and the gibson. I only have the gibson now.
Really nice playing :), huuuuge different sound between those. The Murphy have much more warmer tones to it.
Aren’t they both alnico 2 pickups?
@@Panic42000 I know the newer ones featured Gibson-made pickups
@@brentkermusic I think they are called slashbuckers.
@@Panic42000 Yeah, both are Alnico 2 as Brent said. The Slash buckers are so called custom made for the Slash range by Gibson. The Murphy version is equipped with Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro-II humbuckers.
I have a exact copy made in China from DHgate Totally awesome guitar I changed all te hardware pickups and wiring to the original Only 700 euro all together Not 7000 ))
The €€€ one sounds on the neck pickup beatifully un-woolly. Like the other on the bridge 🤔Tasteful playing👍🏼
I had a 2004 custom les paul but eventually i sold it 2 years ago because i was in need of the money to pay my daughter's loan and two months ago i got myself a brand new epiphone prophecy with fishman pickups for 900€
I can clearly say that the high end models from epiphone are way better and superior to Gibson's les pauls models starting from 1500€ up to 1800€
Are they for sale anymore
The difference in feel between my customshop slash sig and my USA vermillion slash sig is night and day I've been thinking of selling the vermillion even for the past while! Zero comparison
Never buy an expensive guitar unless you're planning to spend that much money on every guitar from then on... Epiphone players can scoff all they want, but there truly is a difference in how these instruments play.
I have #16 of the 2008 SVOS custom, if anyone wants to offer me an obscene amount of money for it ;) (I believe Slash owns #1 - #12)
It's a beautiful guitar, but I rarely play it as it's *unbelievably* heavy, and I'm scared to damage it...hopefully was a good investiment though
I own #2
That VOS Les Paul is my fav finish ever. Stunning

@@lucbos7516 jeez, I just had a look at those...it's obscene, you couldn't even buy the wood and hardware to build one at that price!
@@njones420 China has unlimited axcess to all the wood they need without limitations in any way and the craftmanship is outstanding Ofcourse you also need some luck to get a good guitar )) I have 3 slash guitars and a Custom John Sykes from china Totally awesome projects When you get the guitar just order any part you need
Are those “custom buckers” in the custom shop?
Those are slash’s Duncan’s he always uses.
Its the old version of Seymour Duncan™ Alnico Pro-II humbuckers as I recall it. The signature version Seymour Duncan APH-2B Slash Alnico II Pro came later if im not mistaken and they are voiced a bit differently than the ordinary Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro-II in his 1987 Les Paul Standard.
What’s song are you playing in the beginning?
Nothing in particular, noodling over some chords! B-Cm-A-E
16 000 grand for a copy of a copy . Remember slashes appetite les paul which I am pretty sure was an 86 was not a Gibson but a boutique hand crafted 59 les paul copy built by Chris Derrig . Guys like Derrig and Max Bennet of max les Paul's were building accurate 59 copies long before Gibson started to actually try and copy those guitars properly . Gibsom were building 59 les paul reissues at that time and they were known as pre historics and while they are fantastic guitars they are not accurate 59 copies which is why guys like Derrig and Bennet built highly sought after guitars. Derrig les Paul's are max les Paul's are highly sought after today and many have real 59 Pafs as those guys would put real 50s pafs in those guitars of they were requested. Some of those Derrig and Max les Paul's can go for between 15 000 and 20 000 dollars they are that good . Common incorrect rumor is that slash choose Alnico 2 pro for his appetite les paul or that it came with real 59 pafs and slash removed them because he wanted A2Ps but it had A2Ps right from the very first minute. Slash had nothing to do with choice of Alnico 2 pro they just happened to be the only pickups Derrig had in the shop they day he finished the guitar and he had gotten a call saying slash needed the guitar that day so he grabbed the only pickups he had so he could finish the guitar and it just so happened that slash fell in love with those pickups and ended up using them for many many years and still uses them in many guitars and uses the newer modified signature version in many others accept his vintage gibsons from the 50s and 60s which all still have the vintage Gibson Pafs and patent sticker pickups so contrary to some claims he does not remove pafs form his vintage guitars and replace them with Duncan's. Those 50s and 60s gibsons only get used for recording .

Not worth 16500 Euros
I just bought the Gibson slash model and ordered the APH2’s straightaway. Problem solved.
The custom shop in this video uses APH-1^^
The pickups thst come in the slash standards are great, I'd give them a chance, never changing mine, they sound so good
