Andy's pimp job on his Tobacco Sunburst 'Artist' LP60 GNR tribute was the donor for the only upgrade required on the Slash Epi LP that I bought July 2015. Gallins online were having and end of financial year sale and it was reduced from $499 to $199 and that also included delivery to the Sunshine Coast. Bargain.
Straight out of the box it was already in tune and the setup was spot on. Action was also great and only had a few minor tweaks to get the intonation right and was then ready to play.
A couple of months later was when I started building PBG kits and this axe was sadly neglected for almost a year before I picked it and started playing it again which is when I realised the only cheap part of the axe was the dodgy sealed machine heads. They are supposed to have 14:1 gearing and felt fine when tuning up but past experience has taught me not to trust these sad excuse for string tensioners. Thankfully when I saw Andy's pimpin job I grabbed his unwanted Artist Tuners as they had to be better than the ones on this guitar.
