Epiphone Ltd Ed Slash Les Paul Standard PRO, Anaconda Burst

Full Description

Iconic Les Paul Body

This signature Les Paul is crafted from sturdy mahogany and delivers a warm tone, with plenty of resonance ideal for searing leads and powerful licks. Mahogany is known for its pleasant characteristics, offering players balanced tones with excellent grind and bite to cut through dense mixes. The classic Les Paul shape embodies the essence of the original ones created by Les Paul himself, and is enhanced with Slash’s own personal touch for a truly iconic design. Its AAA grade flamed maple top is finished in a new anaconda burst to deliver an eye-catching look, while its classic gold ‘’top hat’’ control knobs, cream binding, and 3-way pickup switch with an amber toggle cap complete its vintage aesthetic.

Custom ‘’Slash’’ Rounded Mahogany Neck

Slash’s Signature Epiphone Les Paul is equipped with a smooth mahogany neck with his custom rounded profile, offering an incredibly comfortable playing experience optimised for fast hand manoeuvres and smooth slides. The mahogany tonewood delivers a mostly focused midrange, providing excellent presence for thick, meaty mids with an organic characteristic. The overtones produced stack up to offer a luscious bloom for extra girth, while its well-balanced tone features a nice dynamic range. An ebony fingerboard is added to beef up its low-end, delivering a striking punch and muscular bass response while adding extra warmth and openness for a truly versatile tone.

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.

LockTone Tune-O-Matic Bridge

Tune-O-Matic bridges are an extremely popular fixed bridge type due to their stability, reliability, comfortable playing position, and impressive sustain. Unlike other systems that require tools to adjust and remove, the LockTone bridge automatically locks the tune-o-matic and the stopbar onto their posts for added security and improved sustain. Overall, this modern innovation will provide optimum reliability and ease-of-play, perfect for gigging musicians.
