Gibson Slash Jessica Les Paul Standard - honey burst with red back

"This guitar has been with me since 1988,” says Slash when asked about the Les Paul Standard that’s been his number one live guitar for more than three decades ! Riding the wave of very successful Signature Models from Gibson’s Global Brand Ambassador Slash, GIBSON USA Slash Jessica Les Paul Standard (LPSSP300WHCH1) is Slash’s arguably most beloved and played guitar that has never before been released as a USA Signature Model for the legion of Slash faithful.

Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver fans will undoubtedly be familiar with the guitar that Slash named “Jessica.” Jessica has been Slash’s main stage guitar since 1988. The original Jessica was a factory second and one of two Les Paul™ guitars that Gibson sent to Slash in the late 80s. Now Gibson is proud to introduce a new model based on Slash’s old favorite.
Jessica features a three-piece plain maple top on a non-weight-relieved mahogany body and a mahogany neck with a 50s Vintage neck profile. Jessica is powered by a pair of Custom Burstbucker™ pickups with Alnico 2 magnets that are hand-wired to Orange Drop capacitors.
Originally a bright Cherry Sunburst, Slash had Jessica refinished, which is reflected, minus the considerable road wear on the original, in the gloss nitrocellulose Honey Burst with Red Back finish used on the new model. Slash’s signature is reproduced on the truss rod cover, and Schaller Strap Locks are preinstalled on the guitar.
Other extras include a Slash pick set, a USA leather strap, a multi-tool, and a blank truss rod cover in the included hardshell case.
