According to US entertainment website Hollywood Reporter, Gibson is to release eight Slash-branded guitars in March 2008.

Details of whether they will all be Les Pauls have not been confirmed, but Henry Juszkiewicz, chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar, confirmed the company's plan. There will be eight to cover all ends of the market. Juszkiewicz explains. "They're going to go from cheap to high-end custom, personally signed by Slash."

The Slash series will appear in stores 15 March 15, and Juszkiewicz revealed there would be a big stunt around the street date. Gibson recently created a big media stir with their Robot Guitar. The Les Paul guitar with robotic self-tuning technology received a Best Of Show award at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2008 and despite costing $2500, sold out in two days.

Also in the pipeline for Gibson in 2008 is a more affordable version of the Robot Guitar and another Jimmy Page signature model. "The ink is still drying on the deal," Juszkiewicz tells Hollywood Reporter. "It's going to be a special guitar."

Thanks for the heads up

[suspended666]

drools.. would love to have one...

[Beast-from-Snakepit]

wow thats cool...one day slash will own the gibson company xD Slabson

[_]

one will be a tobacco burst with a triple A flame top, which has been used live, another is going to be in the "inspired by" series, the cig burn guitar.



since he's using a gibson firebird live now rather than a bc rich mockingbird that may also be one, and possibly a doubleneck.

^this is just guesswork, but i know there is going to be a copy of his cig burn guitar for the inspired by series.

[Captain Tophat]

I'd love a Slash signature Firebird!!!!!!!

From one of the members that was at the NJ show:

[Lepperfish]

The BC RICH guitar is sooo much hotter then that gibbo above. 

[Melody]

That's so cool.

[Robman]

I think they'll all be les pauls, with maybe a black eds 1275

[Darkburst]

This will HAVE to be one (like the color and such)

I hope don't i don't think so, his new signatures won't come with the piezo, because he didn't really use it.

But this guitar is absolutely beautiful

He did and does use it. The reason that guitar won't be one is because it's already a signature model

Well I was suggesting that they can kinda "upgrade" that signature

Yeah it's his "actual" signature model, but it has a plain top, not a high flamed (AAAA) maple top.
There will be a AAAA flamed maple top Slash signature but without the piezo.

the flame top is because it's a prototype of his 2004 release sig guitar. i think there are 2 of them.

he's been using it on all the VR tours since it was made. i think he may have even used it at that fashion show gig in 03.

so the flame top would be downgrading the guitar back from a plain top to a flame top.

[Sverre]

i think he may have even used it at that fashion show gig in 03.

That was (one of?) the original plain top prototype(s). If I remember correctly, he got the flame tops made specifically for touring at a later stage.

wooooo sounds like something to save up for then...!!!

I am, but I STILL won't have enough for the personally signed one

the flametops are the prototypes according to guitar world magazine's coverage of slash's live set up.
