Gibson Les Paul Standard guitar was an icon of the hard rock and heavy metal uprising of the late 1960s and 1970s. Now Slash Guns N’ Roses's guitar player using Les Paul Standard became the zenith of the new renaissance of hard rock and heavy metal. The Slash Les Paul Signature model from Gibson Custom is an earnest tribute to Slash, and focuses on function as much as beauty. With Slash offering his valuable input, Gibson Custom has created one of its most distinct and best sounding Les Pauls ever, with all the features and characteristics that inspire Slash every time he picks it up.
The Slash Les Paul Signature model features aged hardware, two Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II humbucker pickups and a Fishman Powerbridge pickup system that offers players an incredible selection of acoustic and hybrid acoustic/electric sounds with a special three-position mini-toggle switch inserted between the guitar’s two volume control knobs to help regulate it. Gibson Custom’s original Custom Authentic finish gives the Slash Les Paul Signature model the look of a gently aged vintage guitar. Other features include the Les Paul’s traditional hand-carved maple top and mahogany back and a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon — just like the Les Pauls of the late 1950s. The Slash Les Paul Signature model comes in Slash’s favorite Dark Tobacco Burst finish, and each guitar comes with a Les Paul Reissue case and certificate of authenticity.
"The weight of the guitar, the way the neck is, the humbucker; all that stuff that appeal to me as a guitar player. [The Les Paul] really is the best all around guitar for me" - Slash
