:lol: When I first saw the commerical I missed what the guitar was. Then I saw it again....First Act!?!?! Weak. :( Why not at least an Epi LP? Gibson LP always comes to mind when I think of Slash.

So what kind of guitar was compaired to a Voltswagen?

Because they didn't want the guitar to exceed the value of the car! :lol:

I played a couple of First Act's high end guitars at last year's CES. A bizarre place to show guitars, but they were actually nice stuff -- and moderately pricey at a grand+. It wasn't until after the show that I found out about FA cheapo stuff. But hey ... no worse than Fender and Gibby in that respect.

As for VW + free guitar -- well once upon a time I would have defended VW, but 9 years with a Passat fixed that inclination. Fun cars for about 3 years or until the warranty runs out -- whichever comes first. Hopefully the guitar is better.

Tell me about it. I work with a very nice and respected gentleman in Asia who uses Johnson as his Anglo 'given' name. Honorific and last name: Dr. Huang. However, I don't think he makes instruments ...

Not to get off topic here but I was at Walmart last night trying to buy a guitar and they were trying to sell me a Volkswagen with it.

Oh the humanity.... :D

Any ideas as to what song Slash is playing in the ad?

Or is it just a made up jam? :(

I've always kind of liked the VW styling but having had a couple Beetles VW's have always been mechanical nightmares. My daughter just trashed her 95 Jetta, piece of junk, but I'm gullible I'd buy a car to get a guitar...
