SLASH To Appear At SAM ASH Hollywood

Guitar legend Slash will take part in an exclusive meet-and-greet at the Sam Ash Music store in Hollywood, California (located at 7360 Sunset Blvd.) on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 from 4:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m. The iconic rock star will be celebrating the release of the new Gibson USA and Epiphone Slash Signature Les Paul model guitars.

The new Epiphone Slash Signature Les Paul Goldtop is limited to just 2,000 guitars worldwide and are built using many of the same traditional guitar building processes and techniques that have made Gibson's family of stringed instruments the absolute finest in the world.

The Gibson USA Slash Signature Les Paul Goldtop gives guitar enthusiasts around the world the chance to own a guitar created and designed by Slash, the legend who single-handedly revitalized the electric guitar with some of the world's most colossal riffs known to the mortal man. The Gibson USA model is limited to only 1,000 guitars worldwide. No others of either version will be produced once the limited edition quantity is sold out.

Both versions of the limited edition guitars will be available that day at Sam Ash Music locations across the country. Slash will sign autographs during his appearance at the Sam Ash Hollywood location. Any customer who purchases either model on the day of the appearance or who attends the event with any other Slash signature Gibson or Epiphone guitar which may have been purchased previously, will have the opportunity to have the guitar autographed by the legendary musician. No other guitars other than Slash Gibson or Epiphone models will be considered for this opportunity.

Slash has left a lasting imprint on the world that cannot be measured in a few short words. His trademark sound is as original as it is unmistakable. His music catalog spans several decades, a body of work that has given us some of rock's greatest anthems. From television and radio to professional sporting events, his music continues to provide a soundtrack for life.

Most recently, the legendary guitarist/songwriter can be seen featured in the latest installment of the wildly popular video game Guitar Hero for which he wrote and recorded the game's theme song and his character's guitar solo. His current band VELVET REVOLVER recently completed a tour of Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and the States in support of its second album, "Libertad", which has spawned several chart-topping singles.
