Slash Les Paul Custom Shop 1990
'Robert put on the Stones's 'Brown Sugar', picked up his guitar, and played along with the riff and the lead. And that's when I heard the sound.' (Slash)Slash is probably one of the most famous Les Paul players in rock. He has a huge collection of Les Pauls, but his best known and best loved is actually a 1959 replica built by Kris Derrig. The guitar was bought for Slash by his manager in late 1986 for recording of Appetite For Destruction. The guitar came with Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 pickups and quickly became Slash's main studio instrument. Another Les Paul that Slash is famous for playing with is his 1987 Les Paul Standard which has been used on countless tours.
In 2018 Slash owns a collection of 221 guitars that represent a total value of 2 millions dollars. Studio guitarsFor studio sessions, Slash almost exclusively uses a 1959 Les Paul Standard replica made by Kris Derrig. It is with this instrument that he recorded almost all parts of Guns N' Roses, Slash's Snakepit, Velvet Revolver and solo albums.

(Slash)On stage, from the early 1990s, Slash mainly played with Les Paul Standard and particularly two 1987 models that he brought on tour with Guns N 'Roses, Slash's Snakepit and Velvet Revolver. During this period, he also used several B.C. Rich Mockingbird ('You Could Be Mine', 'The Alien', 'Sucker Train Blues'), Gibson EDS-1275 ('Patience', 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door'), Guild Crossroads ('Neither Can I', 'Back And Forth Again', 'Back To The Moment') or Travis Bean 1000 ('Bad Obsession', 'Rusted Heroes').
Signature guitarsThere are also various Gibson Les Paul Slash signature models, dating back as early as 1990, with a limited run of Slash models sporting black harware. In 1997, Gibson released the Snakepit Les Paul, which featured a stunning snake motif on the fingerboard. Other popular models include the 2008 VOS Aged Les Paul, a replica of Slash 1987 Les Paul.
