Slash Appetite Burst. Got it for a steal on Reverb. I was going to wait, but they're slowly disappearing, so I grabbed one before I couldn't.

Looks awesome! Did you get it from the Gibsin Demo Shop? I've been seeing some come through on there for a not terrible price..

Judge you? For what? That thing is beautiful! Sure, Gibson may not be the greatest company, their guitars can be kind of overpriced, and their fanboys can be rather annoying but that doesn't mean that they don't make good instruments (most of the time, anyway). Enjoy your sweet new score!

I'm sure it was difficult walking away from Reverb with the chorus of "You Could Be Mine" repeating through your head. ;-)
Great looking guitar.

Aye, if anything I want more pics so I can possibly fabricate a lefty version(never for sale... I'm terrible at it ;D) It's your money other than the 1 who shares you're bed at night it's how YOU choose to spend it.

I was wondering about the backside of the body but if that's standard I can just get away with using a template set for a flat top and play with the Keda made aniline dyes(the factory is close enough direct mail orders only see 2 post offices...)to match the colors. But that'll be after I finish my moclery builds of left handed Rick anniversary issues ;D
I guess we're all waiting for a soundbite of the humbuckers in action at this point.
