Slash Les Paul Standard (2004): The guitar most commonly associated with Slash's Velvet Revolver period, this Custom Shop model features Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro humbuckers, a Dark Tobacco Sunburst finish, and a piezo pickup system which allows Slash to access acoustic-like tones at a flip of the mini-switch located between the two rear control pots. They're quite rare and tend to change hands for a lot of money today. It was limited to 100 guitars worldwide, although the initial plan was to build 50. The Snakepit model featured the logo of Slash's Snakepit (his post-G'n'R band) and an elaborate, curling cobra fretboard inlay. Slash Les Paul Snakepit (1997): Released in 1997, this guitar took a bit of inspiration from a slim-necked Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Slash had built for him in 1990, at least in the sense that both were bright red …but more on that later. Slash's contribution to the Les Paul's popularity has been celebrated with several signature models over the years. By the early '90s, the Les Paul was totally and utterly cool again, just in time to be the guitar of choice for many grunge artists. But it wasn't long before players started seeking out Les Pauls again. This fact had somehow been forgotten amidst the flash and glitter of the '80s, despite the influence of Led Zeppelin on the riff-rock of the time. (Gibson) With the 'Sweet Child 'O Mine' video, Slash reminded everyone that the Les Paul was a killer rock guitar. Gibson Looks Back At Slash's Les Pauls Through The Years
