Slash "Appetite For Destruction" Les Paul

Sam Ash Quikship Corp. "Slash "Appetite For Destruction" Les Paul VOS Electric Guitar (949951152) Working hard to record Guns N Roses 1987 debut, Appetite for Destruction, Slash was experiencing nothing but frustration trying to achieve the tones he was seeking with a range of contemporary electric guitars he was using. Then someone handed him a reissue-style Les Paul Standard, and that was all she wrote. With this legendary rock machine in hand, Slash laid down the deadliest rock riffs of the decadepropelling songs like "Paradise City", "Sweet Child O Mine", and "Welcome to the Jungle"and fired up the biggest-selling debut album of all time in the process. Slash has been a devoted Les Paul player ever since, throughout his years with Guns N Roses and later with Slashs Snakepit and Velvet Revolver. He has taken a number of Gibson Signature models on the road, and owned and recorded with near-priceless vintage late 50s Bursts. To honor his achievements on the instrument, Gibsons Custom Shop introduces the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul, a guitar made in the image of the axe that launched a thousand riffs.SPECIFICATIONS2-piece figured maple top1-piece solid mahogany backSingle-ply cream binding on top1-piece mahogany neck w/long neck tenonSlash neck profileHolly headstock veneer Rosewood fingerboard 22 frets (fretted over binding)Pearloid trapezoid inlaysSingle-ply cream binding on neck24 3/4 " scale length, 1 11/16" width at nutVintage tulip tuners ABR-1 bridgeStopbar tailpiece - light weight nickelSchaller strap-locksAlnico II Pro Slash Signature HumbuckersGold Top Hat with Volume and Tone InsertsButterscotch finishLIMITED EDITION300 Vintage Original Spec."
