A Les Paul from the "Slash Collection," Designed for the Stage
This Les Paul Standard from the Slash Collection pays tribute to the most iconic Gibson models played by Slash over the decades. It embodies the "classic Les Paul" spirit (mahogany, flamed maple, nitro finish), enriched with choices and finishes associated with the guitar hero's universe: 50s neck profile, matching aesthetics, dedicated accessories, and exclusive markings. Available in November Burst and Appetite Burst finishes, it stands as a premium, instantly recognizable version of a Les Paul built for live performance.
For Whom, and For Which Styles?
The Gibson Slash Les Paul Standard is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive instrument, responsive to touch and volume settings. It excels in rock, hard rock, blues rock, and all genres where a thick sound, present mids, and singing solos are desired. Thanks to two volume and two tone controls, it easily transitions from a tight crunch to a creamy lead, or to clearer, rounder tones by playing with dynamics.
Sound Characteristics
The mahogany body + AAA flamed maple top duo is one of the Les Paul's historic signatures: mahogany provides warmth, density, and sustain, while maple adds attack and definition, particularly appreciated in riffs and solos. The lack of weight relief enhances the sense of mass and note sustain, with solid lows and rich mids.
On the electronics side, the Custom BurstBucker Alnico II pickups deliver a vintage tone, smooth in the highs and very musical in the mids: perfect for creamy overdrives, easy harmonics, and a great response to right-hand dynamics. The hand-wiring and Orange Drop capacitors make the potentiometers particularly usable: you can clean up a saturated sound with the volume and shape the brightness without losing the pickup's personality.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original feel, prefer electric guitar strings in .010 - .046 gauge (same gauge as factory setup). If you often play standing up, a sturdy strap is recommended; the guitar is already equipped with strap locks, which securely fasten the instrument on stage.

Very good guitar, superb finishes.
The value for money?
For my part it's overpriced if we're just talking about the hardware and lutherie level. However, buying a Gibson Les Paul means you are necessarily paying for the brand and also offering you a piece of electric guitar history.Automatically translated

Very poor finish, problem on the binding as well as on one of the terminals of a microphone, after a complaint for customer service everything is normal, today's Gibson quality... disappointed for a 3300⏠guitar, I do not recommend buying in store to see the finishes...

Finishing issues. Incorrectly adjusted handle. Too bad because the lutherie and the microphones are really great.
