Specs and story as follows...Gibson Slash Appetite For Destruction Les PaulItem: GBLPSSAPCH1 The Axe That Launched a Thousand Riffs From his groundbreaking work with Gn'R, to Slash's Snakepit, to Velvet Revolver and numerous acclaimed solo and side projects, Slash has continued to embody the ultimate rebel rocker, putting addictive licks and eviscerating tone above all else, and throughout he has continued to do it on a Les Paul. To honor this achievement, Gibson introduces the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul, a guitar equipped with the finest features of the original Les Paul Standards of 1958-'60, and the added punch of Seymour Duncan Signature Series Alnico II Pro Slash humbucking pickups. With looks to kill from a Grade AAA maple top with nitrocellulose "Unburst" finish, amber top-hat knobs, rosewood fingerboard with traditional trapezoid inlays, and Slash headstock graphic, and enhanced resonance from a TonePros Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece at one end and a high-density Corian nut at the other, the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul is as prime a piece of eye candy as it is ear candy.Playability, naturally, is flawless, thanks to a solid one-piece Grade A quarter-sawn mahogany neck with Slash's preferred slim '60s profile, and the 12" fingerboard radius and 22 jumbo frets that have made Les Pauls notorious for big, meaty rock bends for more the past 50 years. All Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Pauls come with plush-lined hardshell case with silkscreened Slash graphic and Owner's Manual.Body and Finish Crafted from a Grade AAA maple top and weight-relieved mahogany body, the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer that replicates a beautifully faded vintage Les Paul Standard. The maple-mahogany combination and thin nitro finish help to bring the most out of these guitars, both tonally and visually. Neck and Headstock The guitar's neck and headstock are made in the classic tradition of the original 1958-'60 Les Pauls. Carved from a single piece of quarter-sawn mahogany, and topped with a rosewood fingerboard, the design incorporates Gibson's lauded 17-degree back-angled headstock, which contributes greatly to the instrument's resonance and sustain. Pickups and Electronics To Slash's own specifications, the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul carries a set of Seymour Duncan Signature Series Alnico II Pro Slash humbucking pickups, which are made in the image of the original Gibson PAF humbucking pickups. From a rich, throaty wail at the neck position to a muscular, eviscerating roar at the bridge, these pickups offer all the tonal versatility that has made the Les Paul Standard famous. Their full splendor is transmitted via a Switchcraft selector switch, high-quality potentiometers with Orange Drop tone caps, and a robust Switchcraft output jack. Hardware In the image of the great Les Paul Standards of the 1958-'60 the Slash Appetite for Destruction Les Paul wears a classic set of hardware, all enhanced for the tonal standards Slash demands. A TonePros Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece offer uncompromising resonant coupling between strings and body, while a set of Kluson-style tuners combines an authentic vintage look with efficient modern performance.Specifications:Body Top 'AAA' Maple Top Back 'A' Mahogany Back Binding Antique Body Type Traditional Weight Relief Adhesive Franklin Titebond 50 Neck Species Mahogany Profile Slash Slim 60's Profile Truss Rod Standard Joint Angle 5° (+/- 15 seconds) Adhesive Franklin Titebond 50 Neck Fit Joint Mortise & Tenon Adhesive Franklin Titebond 50 Joint Angle Tolerance +/- .005" Fingerboard Species Rosewood Frets 22 Radius 12" Nut/E.O.B 1.695/2.260 Binding Figured Antique Inlays Acrylic Trapezoid Nut Material Corian Width 1.695 Slots Gibson PLEK System Headstock Inlay Mother of Pearl Logo Gibson logo with Slash Artwork Truss Rod Cover Black Antique Bell Tuners Model Tone Pro Kluson Style with Press-In Bushings Keys Crème Plating Nickel Tuning Ratio 14:1 Bridge Type Tone Pro Material Zinc Plating Proprietary Tailpiece Type Stop Bar Material Proprietary Plating Chrome Hardware Knobs Vintage Amber Top Hat with Pointers Toggle Switch Washer Cream with Gold Silkscreen Strings .010 - .046, Genuine Gibson strings Strap Buttons Aluminum Pickups Neck Position Alnico II Pro Slash Bridge Position Alnico II Pro Slash Electronics Potentiometers 2 Volume Controls, 2 Tone Controls Type 300k Linear Audio Taper Volume, 500k Non-linear Tone Capacitors 'Orange Drop' Capacitors Coil Wiring Machine Wound Toggle Switch Three-way Switchcraft with Antique Plastic Tip Output Jack Traditional 1/4" Finish Color Appetite Amber Sealer Nitrocellulose Process 1-1.5 mils Includes:Case Type Slash Hardshell Case Exterior Black with Slash Artwork Silkscreen Case Interior Plush Lining Accessories Additional Materials Owners Manual
