Superb achievement from the Gibson Custom Shop with this Anconda Slash in VOS plaintop finish!
There have been a lot of Slash Anaconda models at Gibson and it's not always easy to find your way around. There were the signed flamed and plaintop models, the unsigned VOS like the one we're presenting here, a Standard in 2018 followed by another Standard from the Slash collection in Core in the 2020s... And I'm not even sure I won't forget any! In any case, here we have the first model released and this sublime plaintop. The color, quite unique for a Les Paul, adds to the charm and reflects Slash's passion for snakes on the one hand and for green guitars on the other! In fact, recently I sold him a Les Paul quilted in green and he also bought another Les Paul in the same color. You can also often see him on stage with Guns N' Roses playing a BC Rich Bich 10... green.
It's a fighter jet... I had the chance to play it and it resonates endlessly. The 58 neck adds to this feeling of vibration that never stops and the sustain is incredible. Equipped with Slash Alnico II pro pickups, obviously we sound like Slash but with the Custom Shop paste to obtain a beautiful roundness and warmth. The icing on the cake is a featherweight at 3.8 kilos! One of my favorites...
Aside from two small dings on the back, it is in excellent condition (more photos upon request). Comes with its case, COA, and all the goodies.
