Okay, now that the initial excitement is over and I’ve had enough time to get a true impression for myself I will give you my honest opinion of this model. I am still in love with this guitar from the tip of the headstock to the tip of the bottom strap button. I have not had to do a thing to it except change strings and basic upkeep. I am absolutely enamored with this guitar. I have a 2005 60s neck Standard I feel the same way about but my 2021 Slash Appetite Amber Standard is even better at staying in tune (yes even that annoying g string) and I’ve gotten many compliments on how great my 05 stayed in tune and how well the playability and overall fit and finish was including from my luthier friend and others. I’ve had offers and I’ve been told never sell it. Well I love my 21Slash even more the only thing I wish it didn’t have is the Slash Skully on the back not that it’s such a big deal it’s just I feel like I am advertising (which I guess I am actually) not that I don’t like Slash. Everything on this guitar is amazing tuners, fretwork, hardware and the finish I even love the pick ups. The only thing I can truly list honestly as a negative is that the2021 Gibson Les Paul Standard is for all intents and purposes the same guitar spec wise for $ 200 less but the slash comes with Dunlop strap locks and a little more case candy but what sold me was the biggest difference, there were 5 finish choices to the 50s one. I said I would keep this short so I LP just end this… read more by saying. I am very happy with my choice it is the best playing and prettiest looking guitar I’ve ever owned. I have other Gibson models and Fender guitars as well as some nice acoustics and still I have to tell you honestly this is my favorite guitar bar none. I’ve been playing for more than 40 years and with this guitar I get almost as giddy as I did when I opened up my very first Gibson Les Paul. One thing, I want to mention if you’re like I was the very first time I bought a guitar on the internet do not stress. zZounds is an incredibly good company to do business with. You have nothing to lose buying from them. They have a 45 day no questions asked return policy and their customer service people are fantastic. They do answer anything you need and they are extremely knowledgeable about everything musical instruments and if one doesn’t have the answer someone else will. Don’t forget on top of all that and a kick ass selection AND price matching on top of that, they have a killer payment plan program that just about everyone is eligible for. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a new Les Paul. I know I’m already shopping for my November Burst model.
