Gibson's productive partnership with Slash has borne more six-stringed fruit in the form of another addition to its Les Paul stable, the Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard in Honey Burst with Red Back. Dubbed "a piece of rock ’n’ roll history reborn", Gibson's latest is based on the Guns N' Roses icon's much-loved live weapon of choice.
"This guitar has been with me since 1988," Slash said of the guitar that's been his go-to stage instrument for over 30 years, in the excellent Slash: The Collection book. "It's faded, I fucking dropped a cigarette on it... I named it when I was drunk but I don't remember what the catalyst for that was!"
