I can't believe that's actually seven years old now, holy hell. 2011 was a particularly bad year for his vocals too, but what makes that take so bad is that it's from their 30th anniversary shows from December where they just had way too many songs to rehearse in too short of a time period, with a lot of difficult tunes to boot. Even if he could still sing that high, he sure as hell wasn't going to pull it off in a show like that.

So Gibson is going to get itself out of bankruptcy by doubling down on their "expensive as poo poo guitars that no one will buy" by releasing a $13,000 Slash Signature LP limited to 150 units.

I don't understand what that guitar's supposed to be. It's not based on any of the iconic guitars he's played, it doesn't have a unique look, and it doesn't sound like it's built differently from any other Les Paul. So what is it?

At least with the short lived mad era of ~$25,000 signature replicas Fender did a decade ago there was something unique about them.*

Here's how Slash's proposed deal breaks down: Ferrar will maintain primary custody of the couple’s two children but both of them will share joint legal custody.

Slash will be required to pay $6,627,352 within 30 days of the judgement being signed by both parties. He'll also pay $100,000 per month in spousal support until death or remarriage, and $39,000 per month in child support. The children will also collect 1.8% of Slash’s income until the year 2036.

Slash got to keep all his interest in Guns ‘N Roses and his other companies, all his trademarks and residuals as well as a number of fully-loaded bank accounts.

Slash also listed his monthly income at $345,000 per month.

It's just an electric guitar. Make more, if you need to.

They're really betting on some kind of Gibson-mystique to carry them. Which absolutely won't work once the boomer-generation dies.

If you commissioned a good luthier to build you that guitar there's no way it would cost 13.000

Last I checked, Ken Lawrence's custom builds aren't really any more than $6000 most of the time. And that's including electronics and fancy inlays n poo poo.

You can buy a Heritage guitar made in the old Gibson plant in Kalamazoo, MI for about the same price as a new Gibson, and they are better in basically every way other than the headstock looking odd.

But but but tonewood!

Actually I’m hearing really great things about richlite lately and would love to live in a world where I can play 100% richlite guitars that are every bit as good as what we’re getting now but for a fraction of the cost.

If they ever figure out a way to make “flamed” richlite, it’s pretty much game over for fancy wood guitars after the boomers die out.

I mean yeah? But also they might keep one or two of these dumb expensive artist things rolling through because they sell to weirdos with too much money and basically take no special effort from the production line beyond sometimes some special finishes and custom electronics or whatever (and I guess they sometimes gotta get the whoever in to sign them but they probably just schedule that all to be done in one day) and the margin is silly

This rules.



In other news I bought my first Big Muff today. Got the classic style big chassis pi model.

This this thing is ridiculous. Always been curious about them, and have listened to a ton of bands that use them. I'm surprised it took me so long to buy one.

Now to the stupid part: is there really much difference between all the different models of the muff? Like is a vintage one really worth being 10x or more than the one I just bought? And there are Russian made ones that are also vintage and expensive as well as newly made ones...the amount of Big Muff options and prices are some real stupid music poo poo imo

There isn't enough difference to make it worthwhile unless you're playing in a Dinosaur Jr or Smashing Pumkins cover band or you just have money to burn. If you do get twitchy about it just get a JHS Muffuletta and be done with it, otherwise it's a hole to throw money in that will never be filled.
