Slash's first les paul was a MIJ memphis copy
gaysh is a trust funder and a mulatto
>>121591374MIJ meant A LOT less then than it does now. Japanese guitars were considered shite, especially by the headbanger crowd. They'd laugh at you for playing a Tele.
>>121591426the quality of 70's MIJ was better than the USA stuff at the time.
>>121591458I'm talking about the perception of MIJ guitars. "Jap crap" was the term.
>>121591458still is, btw
>>121591374Navigators kick ass. (Made by ESP, how could they not)
>>121591563OP pic is not a Navigator
>>121591607Oh well nevermind then.
>>121591374So what? Who the fuck starts out on a Gibson Les Paul as a first guitar? That's like getting a Triumph Bonneville for your first motorcycle.
>>121591682>motorcycle analogy
is this it?
>>121591725It reaches the everyman on an understandable 'street' level.
made in the same factory as the MIJ epiphones, so technically still a Gibson
>>121591731Doesn't that headstock say Gibson?
>>121591725What analogy would you have chosen?
>>121591959yes but according to slash he didn't get a genuine gibson until 1985 when he joined GNR
>>121591374MIJ guitars are better made than burgerplanks
>>121592339no they aren't you stupid fuckin weebAmerica is the best. Since the 1950's, America has never made trash heap garbage guitars.You can claim ESP and Ibanez and Yamaha top end, but since the 50's USA has manufactured nothing but premium guitars.You're garbage ass Teiscosyou fuckin weebJapan will never equal USA at electric guitars.We invented electric guitars.We invented rock and roll music.Suck it
>>121592394>We invented rock and roll music.I thought black people did
>>121591374les paul's are boomerplanks
>>121591959never heard of the Gibsun knockoffs? they were almost identical in every way.
