Oct 08, 2006 01:35 pm Haven't seen it yet. Sounds kinda funny that Slash would get behind something like that. But hey, it'll appeal to a certain crowd I am sure.
Next thing, you'll be seeing someone with a bug onstage plugged in as their amp.
buy a VW get a guitar?

has anyone seen these commercials with Slash? You buy a VW car they give you a "custom" FirstAct guitar (sold at WalMart, for example) and it plugs in to the VW's stereo.
WTF?!

Oct 08, 2006 02:15 pm it was almost sad when I saw some parent try to sell one of those guitars to Music Go 'Round... but no Radio Shack and no Walmart products accepted...
Oct 09, 2006 06:14 am During the football games yesterday I must have seen that commercial a dozen times...
Oct 09, 2006 10:45 am Yeah same here, I saw that commercial about every 1/2 hour on Sunday.
The guy next to me at the smoke shop tried to convince me that it was a Les Paul. I suppressed the laughter and insisted that it wasnt. Although I have to admit it looked like one of those Brian May Guilds or whatever he used to play.
But its a First Act eh? Wow, might as well paint Hello Kitty on the thing.
Oct 09, 2006 05:22 pm Sadly, I didn't get to watch any football or the Nascar race yesterday. I'll try watching a network channel and see if I can see it. Even though I hate TV and dont watch much but discovery and Speed channel if I watch at all.
Oct 09, 2006 10:09 pm Well, I caught the tail end of one of them. Some guy looking like he was from Spinal Tap on top of a Jetta or something. Ray was laughing his arse off.
Oct 10, 2006 01:24 pm Here's the Slash video, there's a Tufnel one as mentioned but I can't find it.
I saw this on TV but did not realize it was real.
A car with a built in Guitar interface.
+ a commercial from Slash
+ a new commerical (which I can't find yet) featuring Nigel Tufnel

Oct 10, 2006 01:25 pm I'm thinking you guys are not all familiar with First Act, yes they make Walmart guitars but they are also known for some top end customer guitars.
Check em out

Oct 10, 2006 01:27 pm I'm laying my money on the fact the one you get for free ISN'T a Slash signature model...
Oct 10, 2006 01:29 pm cool, i love their moving product pictures on their website. very nice.
Oct 10, 2006 01:41 pm Man, some of those custome models are ca-razy !
Check out the Bettie !
Oct 10, 2006 01:49 pm There's also a guitar god contest on that website so you can all enter 8-)
Oct 10, 2006 04:42 pm I'll just stick with my "Hello Kitty" Fender thanks.
Oct 10, 2006 06:37 pm OK, so Slash has a stack of Jetta's to plug into.
Thanx Tony for that link. Great vid indeed. I gotta say impressive as well.
Hue, indeed Bettie is very kool. But only if your Rick N. for sure.
Oct 11, 2006 01:11 pm The police tell us not to "dring and drive" hehe.I think it could be handy if you need to run over a tune before a gig.
