Gibson and Slash are proud to present the Slash Collection Les Paul™ Standard. It represents the influential Gibson guitars that the legendary guitarist has used throughout his career, inspiring generations of artists worldwide. This line is now seen on stage with Slash. Each Gibson Les Paul Standard in the Slash Collection features a figured AAA maple top, a solid mahogany body, and Slash's favorite fretboards, including a 1950s-style neck profile, Custom BurstBucker™ pickups with alnico 2 magnets, color-coordinated hardware, hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop© capacitors, and a vintage-style brown hardshell case.

Exclusive features of this collection include the "Skully" design on the back of the headstock, the artist's signature on the truss rod plate (a blank cover is included in the case), Slash-approved Ernie Ball© strings, and four custom Jim Dunlop Tortex© picks. This model is available in November Burst and Burst Appetite finishes.
