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 some of the best rock riffs of the decade — propelling songs
like “Paradise City”, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Welcome to the Jungle” — which 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 Slash’s Snakepit and Velvet Revolver.
This guitar is in pristine condition. She was part of a very extensive collection and unplayed beside a few hours
in the one-owner-collector’s home setting. After being personally autographed by “Slash” in 2012, she has been
kept inside her case in a climate and humidity controlled guitar cellar until coming to us very recently. She
includes her OHSC in excellent condition, and a few extras.
We rate this guitar a solid 9.5/10 (E+) being in near-mint condition. Because of the autograph/signature — which
technically ‘defaces’ the finish — we can’t rate this guitar ‘mint’ condition whilst adhering to Reverb.com and
trade standards.
