Guitar legend ‘Slash-es’ the Ribbon for GUITARGUITAR
GUITARGUITAR opened its new Epsom branch on September 15th, with special guest of honor Slash cutting the ribbon to launch the official opening day. The Guns ‘n’ Roses/Velvet Revolver axe legend, renowned for his powerful bluesy playing via a low slung Gibson Les Paul, signed autographs for a handful of lucky competition winners who got the chance to hang out with the great man, courtesy of Dunlop, who helped to organize the competition and bring Slash to the UK. GUITARGUITAR’s new Epsom store is the fifth and biggest for the
retailer, which established its first Edinburgh before branching out into Glasgow, Newcastle and Birmingham. With over 1,100 guitars on the wall GUITARGUITAR Epsom could justifiably claim to be is a paradise for guitarists; offering all the big names musicians love, as well as the UK’s hottest boutique products.
