If you love Slash’s iconic guitar sound, you’ll love the Gibson Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard. This beauty pays serious homage to the legendary axe, which has been on stage with the man himself since way back in the day.
Gibson Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard
The original Gibson Jessica Les Paul Standard was a factory second and one of two Les Paul guitars that Gibson sent to Slash in the late 80s.
- That Iconic Look: The Honey Burst finish with the red back? Yeah, that’s pure Slash. It’s got a classic vibe with a cool rock ‘n’ roll edge.
- Built to Rock: The mahogany body produces rich, warm tones, and the sweet neck plays like a dream. It’s perfect for those massive Slash-inspired riffs.
- Slash Approved: This guitar isn’t just about looks. Custom Burstbuckers deliver that signature Slash growl, and his name on the truss rod? That’s your guarantee. It’s the real deal.
- Ready to Roll: Schaller strap locks and the sweet hardshell case with Slash goodies mean you’re ready to take this baby to its next gig.
Construction
A non-weight-relieved mahogany body delivers rich, resonant sustain, while the three-piece plain maple top adds brightness and clarity. The comfortable ’50s vintage neck profile is a dream for soloing and intricate lead work.
Custom Burstbucker Alnico 2 pickups, hand-wired to Orange Drop capacitors, faithfully produce Slash’s signature growl. Expect responsive dynamics and articulate highs for those signature lead lines.
Extras
Schaller Strap Locks, a Slash pick set, USA leather strap, a multi-tool, and a custom hardshell case are the finishing touches that make this an instant collector’s piece.
Who is it for?
This guitar makes you want to play those Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver licks. It’s got that attitude built right in. If you’re into classic rock, owning this Les Paul is a statement piece. It screams serious player.
It is probably one for the fans as it comes with a premium for the Slash association.
