Slash selling out??

djpharoah · 10-06-2006, 01:52 PM

Dont know if this is a double post or not.

Just saw a VW commercial where slash is jamming on a guitar. At first I was like nice, slash is killing it. But then I noticed he wasnt jamming on his signature gold burst LP. I couldnt make out what the guitar was.

Finally I heard the announcer say that if you get a VW from a dealer near you, you get a First Act guitar signed by Slash.

Isnt First Act those shitty guitars are like Walmart or sam's club??

Why slash, why?

Yep, that's the current VW promotion. First Act started out making cheap ass guitars, but they've moved onto making customs in the $1500+ category.

Slash is already a corporate trademark. It is a cheap guitar, but look at who else is endorsing them…

I'm actually surprised we didn't see this sooner. And still, as crappy as they are, first act is still less worse than those esteban clunkers.

EDIT: $1500?!

Haven't seen the ad, but that's pretty sad. I've seen ads for First Act stuff, and it looks pretty sorry.

Well the guitar is a custom first act "vee-dub" edition with a built in pre-amp that allows the driver to plug in his first act only guitar into his 1/4 inch jack in the VW car

I use to use those cd to tape deck adapters and hook it up to my old Korg toneworks and play guitar out of my car. Yeah, I was a dumb ass then, and still am now. But it was fun...
