2023 Gibson Slash Les Paul Appetite Burst (Faded Lemon)
Description
2023 Gibson Slash Les Paul Standard in Appetite Burst
a signature model from Gibson's Slash Collection, inspired by Slash's iconic guitar from the Guns N' Roses era. This is a premium, USA-made Les Paul with a vintage-inspired design, hand-wired electronics, and Slash's custom specs. The "Appetite" refers to the Appetite Burst (a faded lemon-drop amber sunburst) finish, evoking the Appetite for Destruction album aesthetic.
This guitar was handpicked being ultra light like the rest of my collection and I especially bonded with the top which has a very sweet Michigan maple quality like a true Kalamazoo made instrument from the old days. Here's a summary of the key specifications for the Slash Appetite For Destruction Model
