Slash and Gibson have rolled out a new artist signature model guitar: the “Jessica” Les Paul Standard.
“Jessica” has been Slash’s main stage axe since 1988 and has been used primarily to perform songs from Guns N’ Roses‘ debut Appetite for Destruction. It was also his trusty guitar as a member of Velvet Revolver and remains his choice instrument in Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators.
“This guitar has been with me since 1988,” remarked Slash in a press release. “It’s faded, I fucking dropped a cigarette on it … I named it when I was drunk, but I don’t remember what the catalyst for that was!”
While not an exact replica, the new signature model is based on Slash’s original “Jessica” and features a three-piece plain maple top on a non-weight-relieved mahogany body and a mahogany neck with a ’50s Vintage neck profile.
Electronically, the body houses...
