Gibson / Les Paul Standard Slash Signature Custom Shop / 2011 / Tobacco Burst / Guitar

2011 Gibson Les Paul Standard Slash Signature Custom Shop Tobacco Burst with Piezo!Here is one of my favourite Les Pauls. The versatile sound and playability is a real unique feature for this guitar. The neck on these Slash Les Pauls is a dream, very comfortable shape. The Slash Les Paul Signature Les Paul model focuses on function as much as beauty, but starts with one of the Les Paul’s most traditional features: a hand-carved figured maple cap fitted onto a solid mahogany back. The standard one-piece mahogany neck is topped with a 22-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with a long neck tenon similar to the Les Pauls of the late 1950s, which extends well into the body pickup cavity, resulting in more wood-to-wood contact and overall strengthening of the guitar. The neck profile is also modelled from the necks on Slash's original Les Pauls.The Slash Les Paul Signature model features two Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II humbucker pickups, which are the same exact pickups that power each one of Slash’s personal Les Pauls. They are open-coil humbuckers made to Slash’s specs, and powerfully deliver the deep crunch and singing leads he’s famous for.The Fishman’s Powerbridge pickup system unleashes the natural acoustic potential of this Les Paul, offering players an incredible selection of acoustic and hybrid acoustic/electric sounds with a special three-position mini-toggle switch inserted between the guitar’s two volume control knobs to help regulate it. Rather than changing the natural tone of the Les Paul, the Powerbridge acts as an additional pickup that can be used on its own or blended with the Alnico II Pros to create an entirely new category of sound.The Gibson Les Paul Standard was an icon of the hard rock/heavy metal uprising of the late 1960s and 1970s, played by many of the legendary guitarists who emerged from this celebrated era of music. Now fast forward to 1986. With the hard rock scene on the verge of a new renaissance, an unknown rock band with a mysterious, mind-blowing guitar player was setting the L.A. club scene on fire. Guns N’ Roses and Slash — using his beloved Les Paul Standard — became the zenith of the new renaissance, breathing fresh life into the sounds of hard rock and heavy metal, and pushing the Les Paul Standard back into the limelight and into a new era of rebirth that it continues to enjoy today. The Slash Les Paul Signature model from Gibson Custom is an earnest tribute to Slash, and focuses on function as much as beauty. With Slash offering his valuable input, Gibson Custom has created one of its most distinct — and best sounding — Les Pauls ever, with all the features and characteristics that inspire Slash every time he picks it up. The Slash Les Paul Signature model features aged hardware, two Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II humbucker pickups and a Fishman Powerbridge pickup system that offers players an incredible selection of acoustic and hybrid acoustic/electric sounds with a special three-position mini-toggle switch inserted between the guitar’s two volume control knobs to help regulate it. Gibson Custom’s original Custom Authentic finish gives the Slash Les Paul Signature model the look of a gently aged vintage guitar. Other features include the Les Paul’s traditional carved maple top and mahogany back and a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon — just like the Les Pauls of the late 1950s. The Slash Les Paul Signature model comes in Slash’s favorite Dark Tobacco Burst finish, and each guitar comes with a Les Paul Reissue case and certificate of authenticityThe Slash Signature series Les Paul main features include:Custom Authentic Dark Tobacco BurstSingle-ply cream Binding on topAcrylic Trapezoid inlaysAged Nickel hardwareGently aged Custom Authentic finishCarved maple topSolid Mahogany backOne-piece Mahogany neckBound Rosewood Fretboard2x Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II humbuckersFishman PowerbridgeLong Neck Tenon3 Volume controls1 Master tone control3-Way switch3-Way mini-toggle for FishmanBrite Wire 010 Gauge StringsThe guitar is in excellent condition, just very light wear if you look close.
