The Goldtop You’ve Been Waiting For

Inject your playing with incredible warmth and sustain, thanks to a resonant solid mahogany body that’s accented by an eye-catching maple top. You'll enjoy unbelievable playability, courtesy of a comfortable rosewood-capped Vintage '50s neck.

The Slash Les Paul Goldtop also sports handwired electronics, color-coordinated hardware, and a bevy of special Slash-approved touches.

Classic construction with Slash’s personal touches

The Slash Les Paul Goldtop conjures the vibe of the influential Gibson guitars Slash has used during his career. It includes a solid mahogany body, maple top, dark back, and an easy-playing Vintage '50s neck profile. The electronics consist of a handwired harness with Orange Drop capacitors. You also get color-coordinated hardware components, Slash’s “Scully” signature drawing on the back of the headstock, and Slash’s signature on the truss rod cover. Guitarists here  are genuine Les Paul connoisseurs, and they love the sound, look, and feel of this guitar.

Twin Custom Burstbucker Alnico II humbuckers deliver scorching rock tones

If you covet Slash's trademark sustain, crunch, and midrange, it all starts with the pickups. The Custom Burstbucker Alnico II humbuckers in the Gibson Slash Les Paul Goldtop evoke the tone of his legendary AFD Derrig Les Paul, exhibiting a warm, moderate output that's perfect for everything from classic rock to blues to jazz. These “SlashBuckers” are wound with just the right amount of boosted output to make your guitar sing. The Slash Les Paul Goldtop also boasts handwired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors to ensure spot-on vintage tone.
