You're factually wrong about the whole "most people under 40" bit -- look at the demographics on who's buying his guitars, merchandising, the age demos of people attending the GN'R shows. Slash is one of the most popular guitar "heroes" out there (and his partnership on the Guitar Hero videogames certainly didn't hurt) and there are STILL young players picking up their first axe because of Slash.
I've been to both GN'R shows and his solo shows and the audience age ranges are extremely diverse. You'll see teenagers, millennials, middle-aged folks, even retirees.
The GN'R reunion tour was the third highest-grossing tour of *all time.* If it were just 40+ year old people interested in Slash/GN'R then these stats just wouldn't exist. You're living under a rock if you think he "wouldn't be on most people's top 20 lists"... he's literally routinely ranked as one of the all-time great guitarists by critics and average Joes. He's one of the few guitarists out there who's truly a household name.
Slash is a huge draw for Gibson. Big enough that they gave him an entire signature line a couple years ago.
It's more likely this color just isn't as popular and this company has excess stock.

Their return policy is 45 days but doesn't include guitars (once opened).

These custom shops are playable pieces of art though if you have the disposable bucks!

1) Slash never claimed to be a "virtuoso," even though people who consider only instrumental guitarists as virtuosi simply have the meaning of the word wrong.
2) //most prople under 40 wouldn't know who Slash is, even the guitar playing ones//
This is just a troll comment.
3) //Slash isn't in my top 20 guitarists... nor most people's I'd bet.//
I personally don't care about your list of top 20 guitarists, but I'm eager to wager a bet with you that most people who have a list of top 20 guitarists would include Slash in it. Want to bet in crypto?
P.S. I do think Slash nowadays does not sound nearly as good as he was in the 90s or 00s. I went to his solo concert recently and he just plays... fast.
