Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Honey Burst

Sporting a custom set of Slash-inspired specs, the Gibson Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard captures the looks, feel, and tone of the famed Guns N’ Roses guitarist’s most treasured stage guitar. This guitar’s non-weight-relieved mahogany body and unique pickguard-less 3-piece plain maple top mirror the same specs of the original “Jessica” Les Paul Standard Gibson sent Slash in 1988, right down to the charming Honey Burst nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Next, the rosewood-topped ’50s Vintage mahogany neck is sure to please vintage-style Les Paul fanatics who favor a full-feeling profile. From Appetite-era Guns N’ Roses to Velvet Revolver and beyond, the Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard’s dual uncovered Burstbucker Alnico 2 pickups deliver all the barking midrange and high-octane crunch you need to capture any tone from throughout the Grammy winner’s illustrious career. Lastly, you get Slash-approved Schaller strap locks, vintage deluxe Keystone tuners, and a custom Slash-signature truss rod cover. “Jessica” has served Slash well for over 30 years, fueling the fiery tones of countless gigs across the world since 1988 — Gibson’s Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard is your chance to own an axe worthy of rock’ n’ roll royalty!

Slash’s main stage guitar since 1988

Never far from his side, the iconic “Jessica” Les Paul Standard has served as Slash’s main stage guitar since 1988, fueling countless gigs and sessions all around the world. In fact, the guitar was initially sent to Slash directly by Gibson — no surprise, considering how integral the guitarist’s electrifying playing on Guns N’ Roses’ landmark 1987 debut, Appetite for Destruction, all but revitalized the popularity of the Les Paul.

What separates “Jessica” from your typical Les Paul Standard? Both the original Jessica and the Gibson Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard sport a distinctive 3-piece plain maple top, visually setting this Standard way apart from the pack. What’s more, this modern re-creation’s elegant Honey Burst nitrocellulose lacquer finish is on full display thanks to the Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard’s sleek pickguard-less design. You also get preinstalled Schaller strap locks and a stylish Slash signature on the headstock.

Rich with golden-age Les Paul specs

A classic Les Paul Standard from top to bottom, the Gibson Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard is largely a tribute to the old-school Les Pauls of yore. This guitar’s chunky mahogany neck boasts a robust ’50s Vintage profile — a longtime favorite of Sweetwater guitarists who favor a full-feeling grip. On the opposite end, this Les Paul Standard delivers an impressive heft thanks to its vintage-correct non-weight-relieved mahogany body. It’s all finished with a unique 3-piece plain maple top.

Twin Custom Burstbucker humbuckers deliver scorching rock tones

If you covet the sustain, crunch, and midrange that are Slash's trademarks, it all starts with the pickups. The black-on-black Custom Burstbucker humbuckers in this guitar cover everything from Appetite for Destruction to Slash’s Snakepit, exhibiting a warm, moderate output that's perfect for everything from classic rock to blues to jazz. These pickups are wound with just the right amount of boosted output to make your guitar sing. The Slash Les Paul Standard boasts handwired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors to ensure spot-on vintage tone.
