Description

This guitar from the Gibson Custom Shop's “Inspired By” series is a replica of Slash's original 1987 Les Paul Standard, the famous guitar from the “Sweet Child O' Mine” video and the “Appetite for Destruction” tour. Perhaps the most played guitar in his career, which he nicknamed “Jessica”. The original was made available to him by Gibson for the first major “Guns N' Roses” tours. He immediately had it repainted as the original color was too bright for him, giving it a unique “Honey Burst with Red Back”. It features the three-piece maple top typical of the 80s, two Seymour Duncan “Alnico II Pro” humbuckers, a mahogany body and neck, Kluson tuners and Schaller strap locks. The iconic look is perfected here by a beautiful VOS finish, which gives the guitar a great vintage patina and avoids flaws and paint abrasion. As expected the neck with its pleasant Slash profile, which is very similar to a Medium 59, is super comfortable in the hand and the Seymour Duncans deliver a phenomenal Rock board: smacking, fat and roasting, as you would expect from Saul Hudson. “Sweet Child O' Mine”, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, ‘Paradise City’ at their best! Since not all guitars from this limited series of 400 specimens were delivered with it, we are particularly pleased to be able to offer you the guitar including the rare “Slash” leather jacket as a special treat. This jacket is not only cult, but also looks really good. The future owner can also look forward to a specially packaged Slash pick and a hangtag with his photo. Apart from slight signs of play on the first frets the guitar is in top condition.incl. original case, certificate, hangtags, Slash pick, Slash hangtag, Slash leather jacketweight: 4695 gramssubject to differential taxation
