SLASH Unveils His New Signature-Model GIBSON Guitars

May 12, 2010

Guitar Center, the world's largest musical instrument retailer, along with Gibson Custom Shop guitars, has announced the new Gibson Custom "Appetite" Les Paul Guitar, a limited-edition guitar made to honor Slash, and the same model that he used to record his recent solo album "Slash". Guitar Center will carry both the hand-aged and signed model along with the VOS (Vintage Original Spec) version.

The Custom Shop Slash "Appetite" Les Paul is crafted in the image of an original 1958-'60 Les Paul Standard, and available in strictly limited numbers. The guitar was crafted to honor Slash and his devotion to the Les Paul Standard guitar since 1987 with the debut of GUNS N' ROSES' album "Appetite for Destruction". All Custom Shop Slash "Appetite" Les Pauls come with a lined hardshell case, a Certificate of Authenticity, an Owner's Manual and adjustment literature, and a rare bonus of a deluxe vinyl LP edition of GUNS N' ROSES' "Appetite for Destruction". The VOS model went on sale Friday, May 7 at 1 p.m. EST, while the hand-aged and signed model will go on sale Friday, May 14 at 1 p.m. EST.

"This guitar plays and sounds very unique," said Slash. "It is a beautiful piece of work."

Slash, as well as representatives from Guitar Center, announced the guitar's debut at Guitar Center Hollywood. Slash and Guitar Center are also in the midst of conducting "Guitar Center Presents Your Next Record with Slash", an initiative created to foster growth and success within the music community by providing emerging artists the chance to win the ultimate career-altering opportunity: record a three-song EP with legendary producer Mike Clink and have Slash write, record and perform on the winning artist's single.
