Signature Style and Legendary Tone
The Gibson Les Paul Slash Appetite Burst is a tribute to one of rock’s most iconic guitarists, embodying the tone, look, and feel of Slash's famous Les Paul. Developed in collaboration with the Guns N' Roses legend, this model replicates the specs of his beloved guitar used throughout the 'Appetite for Destruction' era, delivering fiery performance and classic rock aesthetics.
Flamed Maple Top with Appetite Burst Finish
The standout feature of this guitar is its eye-catching Appetite Burst finish, laid over a high-grade flamed maple top. This unique finish captures the vintage character of Slash’s personal Les Paul and adds a distinctive visual identity. The solid mahogany body beneath ensures depth and sustain, providing the classic Les Paul warmth and resonance.
Slash Signature Electronics
This signature model comes loaded with Slash’s custom Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro humbuckers, engineered to replicate his signature tone—thick, creamy leads and punchy rhythm tones. The straightforward control layout includes individual volume and tone knobs for each pickup and a three-way selector switch for tonal versatility.
Iconic Les Paul Playability
A rounded C-neck profile and rosewood fingerboard offer a comfortable, fast-playing experience, suited for both rhythm and lead work. Medium jumbo frets and a 24.75” scale length provide familiar Gibson playability, while the vintage-style tuners and Graph Tech nut enhance tuning stability and intonation.
Custom Touches and Accessories
As part of the Slash Collection, this model features the Slash “Skully” signature drawing on the back of the headstock and Slash’s signature on the truss rod cover. It also includes Slash-branded Ernie Ball strings, a Slash guitar pick set, and a vintage-style hardshell case, making it ideal for collectors and fans alike.
Built for Stage and Studio
Whether you're chasing the tones of classic GNR or carving out your own rock legacy, the Gibson Les Paul Slash Appetite Burst is a high-octane, professional-grade instrument. It’s a must-have for any guitarist seeking iconic looks, powerful sound, and Slash’s unmistakable vibe.
