Gibson To Release Custom Inspired By Slash Les Paul Standard Guitar
Apr 1st, 2008 by Guitar MX Admin
On April 1, 2008, Gibson will be releasing the Limited Edition ‘Gibson Custom Inspired By Slash Les Paul Standard VOS’ guitar. The guitar is a replica of the one Slash took on tour in 1988.
The guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Standard with original specs that has been refinished to give it a vintage look. The guitar has a carved maple top, one-piece mahogany back, and a rosewood fingerboard with the “Slash-Profile”. Both neck and bridge pickups are Seymour Duncan™ Alnico Pro-II humbuckers.
Here’s a promo video of the guitar.
The guitar is only available by special order. As expected, they are not cheap. Gibson lists the price at $5,880, but the Guitar Center web site lists them at $10,000.
Gibson is also giving away one of these guitars. To enter the contest, you need to create an original video and post it on YouTube explaining why you deserve the guitar. Click here to enter.
