As if that wasn\u2019t iconic enough, the guitar was used heavily on Guns N\u2019 Roses\u2019&nbsp;<em>Appetite for Destruction,<\/em>&nbsp;along with some tracks from the&nbsp;<em>Use Your Illusion<\/em>&nbsp;era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/unnamed-22.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-231231\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Gibson)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As to the new model, Gibson notes that it features a \u201cthree-piece plain maple top&nbsp;on a non-weight-relieved&nbsp;mahogany body and a mahogany neck with a 50s Vintage neck profile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI take a lot of guitars out on the road, but this still has a very specific sound compared to all the other Les Pauls I have out there,\u201d Slash said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Slash-_Jessica_-Les-Paul-Standard-07.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-231228\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Gibson)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A Honey Burst finish with a red back nods to the refinishing process Slash used for his original \u201cJessica\u201d model, while his signature sits on the truss rod cover. Slash\u2019s \u201cSkully\u201d logo also adorns the rear of the headstock.

Only a choice few guitars (in this case, a Les Paul) can stand up to the towering heights of a rock legend, but if first looks are any indication, the latest from Gibson is a fitting tribute to Slash himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In related Slash news, he recorded a version of&nbsp;Fleetwood Mac\u2019s \u201cOh Well\u201d with country&nbsp;star&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/tag\/chris-stapleton\/\">Chris Stapleton<\/a>&nbsp;on vocals, the second single off Slash\u2019s upcoming blues covers album&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/slash-orgy-of-the-damned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Orgy of the Damned<\/em><\/a>.
