Gibson and Slash share a storied partnership that spans albums, tours, and era-defining riffs—culminating in the Slash Collection, a series celebrating the iconic guitars he’s relied on throughout his career. The Slash Les Paul™ Standard pays tribute to the instrument behind some of rock’s most memorable licks.

A solid mahogany body and AAA flamed maple top form the resonant foundation that has made the Les Paul a classic, while the mahogany neck—featuring a rosewood fingerboard, trapezoid inlays, and a 50s Vintage profile—keeps the feel authentically vintage for comfortable chording and smooth bends. And 22 medium jumbo frets ensure you’ll enjoy precise intonation and easy fretwork at every position.

Under the hood, a pair of Gibson Custom Burstbucker™ Alnico 2 pickups are meticulously voiced to capture the punch and sweetness that define Slash’s sound. Hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop® capacitors deliver smooth volume and tone transitions, letting you move effortlessly between searing leads and rich clean tones. Each Slash Collection Les Paul Standard arrives with Slash-approved Ernie Ball® strings and four Slash Jim Dunlop Tortex® picks—his personal choice for decades—making it stage-ready right out of the case.

Visually, this guitar is unapologetically bold, just like the man who made it famous. Subtle yet distinctive touches—like the “Skully” illustration on the back of the headstock and Slash’s signature on the truss rod cover—make it a must-have for fans and collectors alike. A vintage-style brown hardshell case completes the package, blending classic Gibson heritage with reliable protection.

The Slash Les Paul Standard merges timeless looks with modern reliability, delivering a powerful instrument worthy of its namesake. More than just a collaboration, it’s a tangible piece of rock history—infused with Slash’s unmistakable style and ready to spark your creativity for years to come.
