Description

This Slash Signature Les Paul just arrived at the shop and she s in very good condition.  Gibson made these for a handful of years and was Slash s main guitar during the Velvet Revolver years.  I d describe the condition as a solid 8.5 out of 10 and the guitar is all original.   There s a mark here and there and a very light patch of worming on the back that s hard to even see unless at an angle.  Ships in its OHSC with all the case candy and COA shown.

This one is more timeless, but bears all the hallmarks & features that get to the heart of the Slash sound: the weight and resonance of a combined mahogany neck and body, Slash s favoured Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Humbuckers, and the addition of a Piezo Transducer Fishman Powerbridge.  You won t believe it until you hear it, but this transforms the sound from everything Les Paul to everything acoustic, and, with the three-way toggle switch, can be blended with the more typical Les Paul tones.

If any guitarist deserves the inaugural designation of Gibson Global Brand Ambassador, then it s Slash.  Les Paul for sure gets the ultimate name-check, but go to the News-Lifestyle section of Gibson s website to see no less than 8 signature models to his name over the years – and even that seems to be understating the actual number.  Post first-run Guns N Roses, post-Snakepit, Slash joined up with Scott Weiland, Dave Kushner and former GnR bandmates Duff McCagan & Matt Sorum to form Velvet Revolver.  Two mighty albums.  One mighty guitar.  To expand on Slash s words above:  That was the main guitar I used when I toured with Velvet Revolver. F**king killer sounding guitar, that one. It actually screams.   Enough said.
