Does he play Music Man guitars?

 

[SteveB]

I think Dargin or someone mentioned this a while back.

Slash does have an EBMM guitar or two, but he's not really known for playing them so much as his ever=present Les Paul.

However, he uses EB strings (Super Slinky, I think), and was kind enough to loan his celeb clout to the CLB foundation by signing that axe.

Slash plays RPS Power Slinkys.

[Steve Dude Barr]

We need to get Duff playing a MM...anyone know if he owns one?

 

[Big Poppa]

he played one for years and years then went to fender

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

I haven't noticed him playing any "new" Fenders though BP...just the same 80's MIJ's.

 

[bovinehost]

Bob Nyswonger plays those MIJ Specials, too.

I tried hard to convert that boy. Sent him a Bongo just because I love him.

I don't know what would have happened if he would have had any money.
