A guitar used by Slash during Guns N' Roses’ Not in This Lifetime… Tour has just fetched £233,100 ($307,692) at auction via Propstore on April 30, making it the most expensive Slash guitar ever sold.

Slash played the Gibson Les Paul ’59 Custom Shop guitar during the 175-date run, which spanned from April 1, 2016, to November 2, 2019, and marked the first time the classic lineup of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan had played together since 1993. Beyond stadium shows, the tour included a headlining performance at Coachella, and became one of the highest-grossing in music history, generating more than $584 million in revenue.
