ERIC CLAPTON WAS THE FUCKING KIN G OF THE LES PAUL RESURGENCE IN THE 60s. Slash wouldn't have picked up a Les Paul if Eric never had. Seriously. Not dissing Slash but Eric Clapton (God) is way more deserving a collection.
He is an awesome player and I love (and try to steal) a lot of his stuff, but the main reason I bought a Les Paul was that the "Anaconda Burst" could finally be had for less than $5K.
I felt in love with Joe Perry’s 1959 burst instantly the first time I saw the video of November Rain and Slash posing in front of that church. 23 years later I was able to afford a custom shop one. It was an eye opener, that high quality guitars have that hefty price tag for a reason. I sold all my other electric guitars except my modded Tele and bought a 1960’s Fender CS Strat that I absolutely love. Now owning the holy trinity of electric guitars i can say that the Les Paul is just something entirely else. It stays in tune way better than any guitar I ever owned and still own (no offence Fender), I can get the action down comfortabley low without buzzing, it has sustain for ages and it just feels unbelievably comfortable in the hand. It will stay with me until I breathe my last breath. Thanks Gibson for building such an incredible piece of art and thanks Slash for being such a badass and inspiration from Appetite till today, you, Miles and the Conspirators absolutely rock!
It was specifically the first solos’ of: November Rain and Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door that sold me on getting a 2018 Gibson Les Paul Traditional in Honeyburst. The Sustain , The Tone, The weight, and my god.. that Vanilla Scented Maple Smell when you open up the candy hardcase. Gibson, make a cologne out of that smell please!
Slash is to the Les Paul what Jimi Hendrix was to the Strat. I have a feeling 40 years from now, Les Paul models more closely related to ones that slash played will still hold higher value.
Joe bugged Slash about that guitar that he damn near changed his phone number! Showed up at Joe's 50th birthday and handed it to him and abruptly left...no money changed hands! Goodlord, can you even imagine what that guitar would sell for? What "pedigree "
Enjoy it! Slash turned me on to Les Paul's too and I finally bit the bullet and brought home a 50's Cherry Sunburst the other day. They're great guitars!
Nice. Slash once said years ago "It wasn't like I reintroduced The Les Paul or something...". Yes he did, to great effect. All about the Shrapnel scene just before borrowing AFD before it blew up. I loved everything about Slash's playing.
this guy single handedly lift Gibson LP into mainstream again in 80's, back in the day in all magazine such as Kerrang, Hit Parader or Circus all guitarists of rock band usually posed use pointy aggressive headstock guitars such as Jackson, Ibanez or Kramer. It's only him goes nuts in LP.
My dream is to one day be able to play and own one of these beauties, that red one is so nice. Still learning though on a used Epiphone les Paul standard in a nice sunburst. 😀
First, let me say that I realize it is financially difficult for many (if not most) people to be able to afford these guitars or even a regular Les Paul Standard. However, I want to give you a little advice just in case this is the way you think. Many people get caught up in the idea of “I’m not good enough to buy my dream guitar (whatever that might be)”. My advice is that as soon as you can afford your dream guitar(even if you have to save up for months or years) you should buy it. It will likely inspire you to get better. The only exception I would make is if you haven’t been playing long enough to know your personal preferences and what feels the best to you (neck shape, body shape, etc.). Don’t buy it just because you think it looks cool.
charles bolton Your so right. I just bought a new amp that’s a huge upgrade from the crappy practice amps I’ve been playing on. I had it for almost a week and I’m practicing double the time and I sound better. I agree 100 percent
I’m lucky enough to own both , great guitars! always loved the j-45’s to me it’s the best overall acoustic and in the 80’s when everyone and their brother were playing exotic guitars with all kinds of weird and very colorful designs , the baddest mother to ever walk the planet emerged out of nowhere and made it cool to play a Les Paul again we know him as “Slash” ..my idol
Slash,i saw this lagened back in 93,when GnR hit the stage in Israel for the first time.since i saw Slash,i ened up with more then 35 les pauls..and counting.Slash u Such a Rockstar!!!
I just went to Gibson Garage in Nashville, spent about 4 hours playing different 50’s & 60’ standards, I have a Les Paul Classic but wanted a standard as well……… Never in my life did I think I would buy a Slash series guitar. After looking and playing a bunch of beautiful Gibsons Les Paul’s and not finding the right guitar, one of the salesman hands me a November Burst……it was live at first sight!!! 😂 Saw it and went wow, that’s exactly what I was looking for, put it in my hands and after playing it for 1 minute, I said….THIS IS IT!!! Absolutely awesome guitar!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🫶🏻
@@gibsonguitar I love this guitar! I haven't been this energized about playing in a looong time. It was definitely worth the wait, it plays like a dream!!!
November burst is a lot more red/brown than a typical tobacco burst. Its really closer to the faded reddish tobacco burst of the Joe Perry custom shop guitars. Love that original Joe Perry 59. This is a way to get close to that.
I hot-rodded a cherry sunburst in the 90s, had the neck shaved down really thin (it was done by Bill Asher, the son of Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched, and he was scared we were going too far, but I said, "Don't worry, I know it will work." We also added push-pull pots for Phasing and Series/Parallel because I was trying to copy what I'd read about Jimmy Page's guitars (this was before there was a Jimmy Page Model.) When I chose the pickups, I used the ones Slash used -- Seymour Duncan Alnico II's. That guitar was the greatest thing ever!
This is so awesome Slash you been my favorite forever so would love to be able to play, live the collection, so glad to see this you deserve your own line brother.
Mine arrived a few days ago. Got the Appetite burst. It's such a beautiful finish and the pickups are really awesome. I have three other Les Pauls, two of which are Custom VOS, and this Slash Standard is just as amazing. Missed out on the previous AFDs so this is a great release for me personally. Plus, the Slash badge is on the back, which I much prefer. Tempted to grab the Vermillion too!
I've always been an SG guy myself but the Joe Perry signature Les Paul is pretty nice. Next time I'm at a Guitar Center I will have to see if they have any Slash series Les Pauls and give it a try.
Well, we’re getting closer!! The title of this video says “the slash collection”. I was hoping that I read it wrong! I was hoping that it was “the collection” slash!!! What your about to see might shock you!! Come on mark!! Make it happen!!
The man is a legend. AFD was the first album I ever bought as a kid - and Slash is the reason I bought a guitar (Slash Snakepit Epiphone - beautiful guitar). I would give a kidney to be able to get one of these Anaconda ones.. Gibson - if anyone there needs a kidney, let's talk
He could go door to door and sell a fuq ton of just about anything. Nicest guy ever.... I think he gave Joe Perry back his '59 les Paul many yrs after Joe had sold it during hard times.
I have never got my hands on one of these, but if their anything like the Epiphone ones, they are better that the Epiphone ones, even though the Epiphones are really good. My first Gibson one would probably be the Appetite Burst but we'll see. Such beautiful guitars from one of the best guitar players
Wasn't one of the appetite guitars a fake Gibson that was built by luthier Kris Derrig? If so, it seems like they skirted that subject here. But props to Gibson that they didn't deny it. Either way, these guitars are amazing. Would love to have one of these as an heirloom!
Slash said it all the time back when the custom shop run of AFD's came out! It's basically a '59 reissue with a '58 neck and alnico 2 pro pickups that were what was available when Derrig built the guitar
Slash has led a resurgence of the Les Paul since the mid-80's. He's earned the right to have his own Slash Collection.
Love the avatar!!! Good commie is a dead commie
Keller Imperator enjoy the starving homie
And Angus Young?
@@B0untyh4nter Angus plays SG's
ERIC CLAPTON WAS THE FUCKING KIN G OF THE LES PAUL RESURGENCE IN THE 60s. Slash wouldn't have picked up a Les Paul if Eric never had. Seriously. Not dissing Slash but Eric Clapton (God) is way more deserving a collection.
Slash is one of the huge reasons why most people would like to buy Les Paul
The guy arise as a guitar hero when everyone else was playing the “superstrats”.
I’m a Les Paul lover and probably he’s one of the reasons for this.
He is an awesome player and I love (and try to steal) a lot of his stuff, but the main reason I bought a Les Paul was that the "Anaconda Burst" could finally be had for less than $5K.
Guilty!
When everyone was switching to Jackson,hammer,carvel,Ibanez. The superstars days slash was one of the few playing a lea Paul.
@Marcellino Sananto Slash and Randy Rhoads are one of the reasons why some people would love to have Marshall Amp. Hehehehe
My heart: Gibson Les Paul

Epiphone Les Paul’s actually have much better sustain than Gibson. There’s a guy on RUclips who did a test of it
You got that right

Where's the video of Slash showing off his personal collection? You know we are all waiting for it.
Yes Gibson! If you want to blow our minds - make THAT video happen!
Man... Please Gibson, that would be tremendous.
They're not Gibson's.
@@vorpalblades I'm sure he has Gibsons as well as many other guitars in his collection.

Just ordered myself the red one, my first proper gibson. Can't wait for it to get to me.
Lucky you!
Lucky bastard
I had a poster of Slash as a kid. He was playing the November Rain guitar. I loved it, along with my chords poster. Go Gibson!
"Withered Delilah," one of the best riffs and songs Slash ever did. Tremendous intro.
Let's see Slash's Gibson Collection!
After 16 months my Lefty Appetite Burst finally arrived. It is the finest most beautiful guitar I have ever played. I am in love with it. 🤘🏻
It was specifically the first solos’ of: November Rain and Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door that sold me on getting a 2018 Gibson Les Paul Traditional in Honeyburst. The Sustain , The Tone, The weight, and my god.. that Vanilla Scented Maple Smell when you open up the candy hardcase. Gibson, make a cologne out of that smell please!
That's actually a really good idea
It is a very pleasant smell
Yeah nothing can replicate smell of Gibson!
The solos on Heaven's Door were played on am Explorer
@@thehummusgavemeaids1596 i just wanted to put it out
Love that beautiful fragrance...market it!😁👍🤘
Gibson TV have been waiting for Slash content for sooooooo long... Bring the Jason Momoa and Slash interview fast plz 🙏
Slash is to the Les Paul what Jimi Hendrix was to the Strat. I have a feeling 40 years from now, Les Paul models more closely related to ones that slash played will still hold higher value.
Jimmy Page is who I think about when someone talks about a classic rock Les Paul player as well
True
@@revelationsoundstudio agreed
The sunburst he used for the November Rain video was Joe Perry’s 59 Les paul!
Yes, Slash gave it back to Joe for his birthday. Nice pal!
One of my favourites
I aspire to have a friendship similar to Joe perry and slash
Joe bugged Slash about that guitar that he damn near changed his phone number! Showed up at Joe's 50th birthday and handed it to him and abruptly left...no money changed hands! Goodlord, can you even imagine what that guitar would sell for? What "pedigree "
gotta love the slash such a humble man
Never have i clicked on a RUclips notification so fast
Me too
It's Five O'Clock Somewhere is one of my favourite albums. Love Eric Dover's vocals. Wish he was still singing with Slash
Hello it’s slash! I just came across your comments on my post here! thank you lovely fan
I need one of these!
Slash is the reason I started playing and fell in love with the Les Paul.
He is the sole reason I’ve ordered my 50’s gold top which arrives in a couple weeks!! So much excite
Enjoy it! Slash turned me on to Les Paul's too and I finally bit the bullet and brought home a 50's Cherry Sunburst the other day. They're great guitars!
I still can't get over how bad ass that November Burst is....

Been in love with Les pauls and Gibson acoustics for decades, but man, I'm really gassing for the November rain guitar and the J45.
Even as a Fender guy, I have to admit that the Les Paul is the coolest looking guitar ever made and I wish I'll have one someday.
As someone who has one of these, it's awesome, buy it you won't regret it.

Absolute loved this and a long time Slash fan! I couldn't imagine playing a guitar other than my Gibson Les Pauls!
Hello it’s slash! I just came across your comments on my post here! thank you lovely fan
Good Slash 🤘🏻
I'll say that's one fabulous collection
Would be hard to make a choice Slash Would be one of the most inspirational Les Paul players
The recoding quality and editing is amazing. Gibson has always been amazing.
Ever since GH3 welcome to the jungle slash has been an idol of mine
Slash is the reason why I get my first lespaul and all this motivation to play 🎩⚡️
I love my Gibson Les Paul Slash 2020!
After all these years, Slash remains one of the coolest dudes around. rockstar of the highest order

We need epiphone versions that will stay foreverrrrrr
i love slash he is the only reason I play guitar. I very exited to buy the november burst guitar!
I love the finishes
Waiting for the epiphone collection! Hurry up guys!
Just in time for the pandemic/economic crisis here's a collection of guitars you can't afford anyway.
all of these doctors gonna flex the new gibson and fender exclusives on their offices
You know that this collection came out quite a while ago?
Wanna complain about Gibson's pricing? Go look for other brands.
LMFAO
😂😂😂 I love your cynicism

Exactly.
When you look at other American brands you realize Gibson is relatively affordable.
I had the pleasure to see Slash play in New Orleans with velvet revolver. Sweet show. Oh and Myles Kennedy was their with alterbridge!
Still haven’t come across a guitar better than my old Slash custom shop Les Paul!
Love my Les Paul. Worth every god damn dollar.
