I couldn’t agree more. I just wish Slick would offer showroom quality goods instead of only relic. That’s pretty much my only criticism. Outside of that, these are nothing short of incredible.
Sounds really nice! I'm also a fan of the 1-2 year updates. I've been wanting to check out a Slick guitar for years and still haven't, but it might be about time.
I keep trying to talk myself into selling them off. Then I make the giant mistake of plugging them in and giving them another go-around. They’re truly incredible. I’ve one more Slick to review for another 2-year, which I lent to Max to let him unbox it on camera years ago.
@@11thFret Honestly the biggest issue with budget guitar brands, especially the ones that sound good and are fun to play, is they have poor resale value. Which is why it's so expensive reviewing these things. But at least it's fun! I have 10 sitting here that I need to finally list for sale and ... I will do it ... soon ... ish. 🤣
@ArtOfShredYT Yup. Awful resale. That’s why I started focusing a lot more on trading instead of selling. It’s still an uphill battle, but less so than trying to get cash. Plus, trading avoids that newer ridiculous $600 IRS law. Pro-tip (and somewhat unrelated): If you use OfferUp or another classifieds site that isn’t Craigslist, always drop the price of the item you sell to $1 before marking it sold. OfferUp will report your “earnings” to the IRS if you exceed $600 per year. So if you trade or sell for less than your marked price, always adjust your ad before marking it “sold”.
@@11thFret interesting! I've never used OfferUp, but I also don't have an issue with the tax rules. I have an EIN and track & report all revenue & expenses whether the websites (Reverb, Sweetwater GearXchange, Craigslist, etc) do or not.
I own a slick and love it! it sounds a plays great. I waited over 6 months for the exact one to come into stock. I get asked alot if I will sell and the answer is NOPE...I will never sell mine.
Yo tengo la version que trae 2 p90 y es una de mis guitarras favoritas. Comoda y sonoramente de calidad. Me gusto tanto la calidad de la marca que me compre una strato de slick hace poco y ya la estoy amando
I've got the Slick SL55 (the Tele body with 2 GFTron pickups and a 24.75" scale) and really like it a lot. I use it for all kinds of styles of music, including doom metal. Very simple, plays great, looks weird (turquoise blue). But it works, and does what I need it to do. How much noise are you getting from the P-90? I was going to get one of those Slick guitars, but decided to go with a humbucker model.
I have the Slick SL55 too, which I need to review. I let GuitarMAX unbox it on his channel before I started doing this. They sound killer. As for the P90, it’s about as noisy as any other P90 I’ve played through. But it’s not intolerable for me either since I’m no stranger to playing single coils with heavier dirt.
Nope. No buzz on mine. I had slight fret sprout on mine when I got it, but was easily solvable with the quick use of a sanding block to also roll the edges.
@11thFret it's a personal choice. Some folks say that a one pickup guitar sounds better because on a 2 pickup the magnets on the other pickup, even when it's not activated, affect the vibration of the strings
I subscribed because you are very likable and you get right to the subject at hand. 😊😊
I think that’s the best comment I’ve ever received! Thank you so much! Seriously, thank you. 🙏
I bought some slick strat pickups that were amazing for the money. Definitely wouldn't shy away from any slick products

I got an SL 50. All I did was upgrade the pot the tuners and gave it a nice fret job. It's a very stable great playing guitar.
That one is on my radar as well. Those look amazing.

Billy Joes is using a Noiseless P90 that is basically a humbucker

When you got it, how were the fret ends and any fret buzz? Philip McKnight was very impressed with his Slick.
Nope. No buzz on mine. I had slight fret sprout on mine when I got it, but was easily solvable with the quick use of a sanding block to also roll the edges.
The sl60 is the same (I think), except it has 2 pickups.
Exactly! I almost bought that one too. But I’m such a sucker for simplicity.

Is there any fret wear? Nice review
Thanks! No fret wear so far. I appreciate you asking. 👍
