Gibson Slash “Jessica” USA Les Paul Standard in Honey Burst

Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver fans will undoubtedly be familiar with the guitar that Slash named "Jessica." Jessica has been Slash's main stage guitar since 1988. The original Jessica was a factory second and one of two Les Paul guitars that Gibson sent to Slash in the late 80s.

Key Features

• 50s Vintage Neck – The neck is based respectfully on the design from the 50s, which gives an authentic feel to the instrument.
• Stunning Maple Top – The Maple top is exquisite, showing off true Gibson craftsmanship.
• Schaller Strap Locks – With the strap locks pre-installed, you can focus on delivering incredible tone without the worry of the strap falling off.
• Included Hardcase – Jessica comes with a Hardshell Case, a USA Leather Strap, and Case Candy.

Jessica features a three-piece plain Maple top on a non-weight-relieved Mahogany body and a Mahogany neck with a 50s Vintage neck profile. Jessica is equipped by a pair of Custom Burstbucker pickups with Alnico 2 magnets that are hand-wired to Orange Drop capacitors for serious tonal delivery.

Originally a bright Cherry Sunburst, Slash had Jessica refinished, which is reflected, minus the considerable road wear on the original, in the gloss nitrocellulose Honey Burst with Red Back finish used on the new model.
