“There is a line there that you cross where you are just spending money for the sake of the name or the label”: Slash says you don’t need to spend “an arm and a leg” to get a guitar that’s as good as you’ll ever need

Slash plays a Gibson Les Paul onstage, against a backdrop of white stage lights.

Slash’s guitar collection is so epic that Gibson made a feature-length YouTube documentary about it and then published a book on it, but while the Guns N’ Roses guitarist admits to being “an addict” when it comes to the electric guitar, he argues that you don’t need to spend crazy money to get the only guitar you’ll ever need.

Indeed, in an interview with Reverb, in which he shares his philosophy for buying guitars, he says you only really need one good one and you are set for life.
