lol, I think Slash is starting to lose his mind.

Can he remember what that GT from 33 years ago sounded like?
He's been through so many Les Paul's/pickups and so many different amps in the last 33 years, does he really think the guitar is going to sound like it did all that time ago?
It's most probably been bought and sold a few times since then, guaranteed the pickups have been changed, and how will he find the original pickups?
Does he know the serial number?, because now he's going to get contacted by a hundred guitarists claiming to own that particular guitar.

Play what you got, Slash.

haha weeeell don't know Why he's looking for His old GT!
maybe it's just to have the original giutar he used for so long Live and in Studio.
or maybe it's just for having the Real one to give it to Custom Shop and Make 25 superdetailed replicas (15000£ each)
the serial nuber Must have been found in the Inentory of his tech.
for sure he can not rebemer clearly.

I heard a story about that darkback 1957 goltop re-issue, I have to find where I posted before.

è di un tipo che lavorara alla Gibson nel periodo
in cui Slash ha preso le sue due standard e successivamente
la Gold top.
e parla anche delle sue prime Signature (quelle rosse con hardware nero)
leggete cosa dice!

The goldtop is one I know about, I remeber we sent out that 57 reissue for Slash and a Black Custom as well as a white ES175 for Izzy. All were stamped "Artist Promotional Use" on the back of the headstock, as were all the standard production guitars that A&R handed out-these generally were cosmetically flawed in some small way. That particular darkback pre-historic was an 89 model and was just a wall hanger in the artist "showroom" in the plant. Slash played it and asked for it. The guitar was a regular old short tenon, regular C shape neck model. The difference between a Standard and a reissue back then came down to only a few things that differed, it was basically cosmetic-The bodies had thin binding in the cutaway, the bridge was an ABR1 rather than a Nashville, the serial was inked rather than stamped, and the pearl head logo was a fifties style open"b and o" without a dot over the i. There was also no shielding can in any of the reissues-the can was phased out a little later on. Just a stock guitar like anyone could get back then, blemished, stamped, and plucked off the wall by Slash.
