Following the introduction of a吉布森Slash收集的特色莱斯·保罗电气和J-45声学中的声音,无数颜色,Epiphonehas推出了新范围直接受到Trent最伟大的音乐出口的启发。全球预算意识的摇滚歌手欢喜!

打开装饰有Slash熟悉的头骨徽标的匹配的黑色Epiphone Case,我们受到了开朗的乐器的欢迎,从螺母的底部看上去几乎与吉布森Slash Core Collection guitars that we reviewed when they first hit the UK in early 2020。床头库确实抛弃了游戏,但值得指出的是,重新设计的epiphone“ Kalamazoo”床头库为该品牌的最新型号提供了吸引力和优雅的气氛,这是先前设计从未实现的最新型号。

在电动角落,我们有中国制造的“维多利亚”,这是对Slash心爱的Les Pauls之一的诱人金顶致敬,并配有无覆盖的皮卡,准备侧身摇摆东西。声学角落被印尼制造的斜坡露肩J-45占据,具有深红色的朱红色爆发效果,以使其更加敏感。声学也可以在11月的更传统的两色调爆发中获得,而Epiphone Slash Les Paul Standard在所有意图和目的都是与我们的Goldtop评论模型相同的,仅在Anaconda,Vermillion,Vermillion,November,Eppetite和Appetite的Anaconda,and Eppetite和Aspetite of Goldtop评论模型相同爆发。

We kick things off with Victoria. In an unorthodox move, Slash named his original Goldtop, upon which this guitar is based, after a woman responsible for the theft of several of his instruments. While most of the guitars eventually returned home, the Goldtop is still out there somewhere, presumably with its light-fingered namesake.

This is a good looking Les Paul and, at first glance, there’s not much to differentiate this instrument from its Gibson sibling. Yes, the shiny reflections on the gloss polyurethane finish are a giveaway, there are some slightly inaccurate areas of colour application and the gold lacks the depth of a nitrocellulose finish. But it still looks a lot more serious than the price-tag would suggest, and the Kluson-style tuners and nickel-plated hardware also add gravitas. The body weight is reassuring and the neck – carved to the same specifications as Slash’s Gibson models – has a beautifully full, chunky profile. The laurel fingerboard – an increasingly popular alternative to rosewood on budget instruments – looks the part too.

Speaking of chunky, the C-shaped neck on the J-45 is a bit of a beast. By no means unmanageable, it’s still quite a handful – just like the Gibson Slash J-45 model, in fact. In acoustic guitars a thick, solid neck is often a very welcome thing as it can prevent energy loss, and as the guitar features all-solid wood construction this certainly bodes well. As you might expect, the Epiphone Slash J-45 also comes stage-ready with anLR BaggsVTC active pickup system.

将维多利亚金插入温暖的玉米福德飓风中,只有斧头和放大器之间的wah踏板,我们立即拍摄了真实的摇滚乐。皮卡是Epiphone的定制概括者 - 略微越来越热,并且是本系列独有的 - 桥梁单元为那种喧闹的鼻les les Paul Sound提供了很好的看法。

正如预期的那样,这吉他喜欢一些管放大器污垢。Powerchords耐嚼,而且功能强大,吉他为单个音符和DoubleStops带来了刺耳的感觉 - 对于华丽的五角杆菌独奏而言,这就是事物。如果您想模仿Slash的演奏以及他的吉他选择,那么您会很高兴得知这个男人本人的大弯和宽阔的颤音在这里轻而易举。

对于任何有LES Paul的摇滚歌手来说,中间位置通常可能是事后的想法,但是在这种情况下,我们有一些非常有用的声音,这是在您探索与双音调和音量控制的乐趣之前。响应可能不像吉布森模型那样详细和直接,但是有一些真正令人振奋的音色可以探索,这鼓励我们表现出色并尝试不同的位置和攻击。没有坏事!

脖子上的拾音器是一个真正的美。光滑,圆形和爵士乐,它并没有表现出1950年代的金顶的笛子,但在我们拨打收益时,它仍然表达和音乐。只是为了娱乐,我们回到干净的领域,结果令人印象深刻 - 尤其是当我们放下选秀权并仅针对某些手指参与Wes Montgomery- 风格的八度。

Time to get heartfelt with the J-45, which is just begging for some big chords with a medium pick. Unplugged, the guitar responds better to strumming than to fingerstyle, with a focused, mid-heavy fundamental voice courtesy of the mahogany back and sides.

J-45是一种经典的设计,当您挖掘时肯定会喜欢它,这也不例外。借助精美的螺母和Grover Rotomatic Tuner,将吉他放入替代调音也很轻而易举。

VTC代表音量,音调和压缩,并将Baggs拾取系统插入菲什曼单调的混响,我们从一开始就获得了很好的结果。仍然有一些压电前端的感觉,但是这些吉他的可能性会在乐队中看到大多数动作,在该乐队中,那些略带尖刺的瞬变将有助于切断混合。

Regardless of the strength of your ardour for Slash’s back catalogue, both of these instruments work well on their own merits. If you’re a fan then the decal signatures on the truss-rod covers will mean a lot, if not you could easily swap them out for a more traditional look. The same does not, however, apply to the gold skull logo on the back of the headstock. But you shouldn’t let that put you off.
