NGD: November Burst Slasher

[Phillycheez402]

So true. They're an exciting addition to any LP family.

I still say it's like adding a cheap custom shop to your collection if you get a well put together one

Thanks... both tops have the medium size chevrons which I love.

Both Slashers came with excellent factory setups. Medium-low action and no buzzing whatsoever. But I always lower the action a tad and re-setup with 9s to meet my own needs.

Flawless finishes on both. Even the microscope mongers would like these.

Oh and for the aroma fanatics: My Vermillion smells like cookie dough and my November smells like Play-Doh.

The Slashbuckers have a meaty growl to them. They don't cut like burstbuckers tho. Which is not a bad thing at all, just different.

Anyway... I highly recommend these to any Les Paul player who wants a super-high quality Standard with some modern color options.

Yep! Mine feels like it was just completely meticulously put together, more so than other USA models I've owned the last couple years.
And I actually passed on an R8, and R9 because they were not when I played them, imho

Great top! Great catch before the price hike too!

Thanks! The price jump warning got me motivated to snag another one.

Congratulations on a nice one! These really are great guitars.

Thanks! To me they are the pinnacle of standard production LPs.

I’m digging those reflector knobs. Well done bud.

Thanks man. All my Pauls get reflectors... they have a bit more to grab on to than regular tophats and look cooler.

I have a different experience than Peter on my Standard 50s and Slash Standard. I find that the Burstbuckers are much more mellow of a pickup compared to the Slash ones, which are a lot hotter and drive the amp nicely. I find that the neck pickup has a lot of clarity and reminds me of the good aspects of a PRS neck pickup (clear and rich, but still very full sounding). I particularly enjoy it with clean tone.

I think I mentioned before that I will be moving mine on though, since I want an R9 and parting with a bunch of gear is the only way that’s going to happen. If you’re seriously looking to move on a Slash one (November), let me know. I have a real nice 8 lb 14.5 oz one that hangs real well with my R0 in terms of sustain and resonance. It’s not a dog, which I ran into a few (bought and returned 2 of them) when I was on the hunt last year. It’s less than a year in my hands, bought brand new.

I can confirm, Slash Gibson LP's are killer right out of the box. Those are beauties. I love mine more and more each day.

Thanks! I can't put them down. My other Pauls are jealous.

I swapped the slashbuckers out for SD slash pups and it sounds so pleasing to the ear thru a Marshall

Gibson actually calls 'em: Custom Burstbuckers Alnico II. They sound more aggresive than regular BBs to me.... but I dig 'em.

I'm not discounting them at all, I just prefer the more "woman tone" the SD APH-2S offer.

Threw on a set of aged gold/gold reflectors. I'm diggin' them more than the amber set.
