D O G E DJ ASHBA

TH

DJ Ashba has been a member in two notable bands, before making a name for himself. He got his claim to fame when we became the lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses from 2009 to 2015 as well as with a band he co-founded with Nikki Sixx, called Sixx: A.M. Ashba brings 80’s style to the modern day. The tapping, sweep picking, and expertise over pedals he wields bring killer solos to multipe songs such as When We Were Gods and This is Gonna hurt by Sixx: A.M. and helped him recreate / reinvent solos by fellow guitar god, Slash with Guns N Roses. Ashba now spearheads several projects under is last name. Ashba has created a clothing company, housed in the Stratosphere. He also operates a digital media company, responsible for multiple of the art project laid out around the Las Vegas Strip, and Downtown Las Vegas areas.

The most notable of Ashba’s guitars is likely his Schecter Signature, more specifically of the matte black rendition. It is a beautiful double cutaway schecter, with a matte black body, broken up by glossy black stripes. The neck of the guitar features ravens to mark where the circles typically mark on the frets. The headstock also bears the Ashba logo. The body has a floyd rose to make killer bends, and holds humbucker pickups.
