The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard infuse the guitar with sizzling highs, thick, firm lows, and a open midrange with a punchy attack. Offering rich and full bodied tones with plenty of sustain and resonance to die for, this is a Les Paul that begs you to plug in and turn up loud.

Seymour Duncan Slash Signature Pickups

When you're the most famous guitar player on the planet, you come to know a few things about tone. Slash has always demanded the very best performance from his pickups, and thanks to his partnership with Seymour Duncan, you can gain first hand access to these signature tones heard on famous records from bands such as Guns n' Roses and Velvet Revolver. These Seymour Duncan Slash signature pickups ensure versatile and authentic tones are at your fingertips, offering a range of beautiful tones from crisp, glassy cleans through to face melting power when required.

ABR Bridge

The Signature Les Paul features an ABR tune-o-matic bridge, offering incredible string stability and a truly comfortable performance. Its high-quality construction makes it extremely reliable, holding onto the string tension while providing the maximum transfer of vibrations for an enhanced sustain and a beautifully vintage tone. The bridge also offers quick and easy adjustments to the action, allowing you to set the perfect intonation for your playing style.

TekToid Nut

The addition of a TekToid graphite nut offers increased harmonics in the middle and upper frequency range, perfect for creating a rich and detailed tone. TekToid Graphite is the best high-tech cure for eliminating undesirable friction within the nut, which can cause tuning problems. It is the ideal choice for a guitar nut, as it has excellent conductive qualities which overall benefit a guitar’s tone and sustain.
