Rather than creating a contemporary signature model, Gibson chose to recreate the appearance, feel and character of the Les Pauls that defined Slash's career during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Each guitar was aged by Tom Murphy and produced in limited numbers, making the \"Inspired By\" series one of the earliest and most desirable artist collaborations from the Gibson Custom Shop.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"1473\"\u003eThis example, serial number SA069, is among the earliest produced and is hand signed by Slash in black marker on the reverse of the headstock. Early examples carrying the black signature are regarded as the most desirable by collectors, representing the first guitars signed during the initial production run. Finished in Murphy Aged Sunburst, it features authentic lacquer checking, naturally worn hardware, softened body edges and the signature cigarette burn detail behind the headstock, faithfully recreating the appearance of Slash's well travelled instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"2034\"\u003eBuilt around a one piece non weight relieved mahogany body with a carved maple top and long neck tenon construction, this guitar delivers everything expected of a Custom Shop Les Paul. The substantial 1950s neck profile is paired with a set of custom wound Slash humbuckers, producing the thick midrange, articulate top end and long sustain that have become synonymous with his playing. Whether it is played through a clean amplifier or a cranked Marshall, the guitar retains the response and authority that made Slash's Les Paul sound instantly recognisable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2484\"\u003eComplete with its original Gibson Custom Shop hard shell case, Certificate of Authenticity, original case candy and Slash's signature, this is one of the earliest examples from one of Gibson Custom Shop's most collectible modern artist releases. Combining Tom Murphy's ageing, early production status and a hand signed headstock, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the standout Gibson Custom Shop signature models of the late 2000s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1yl5694\" data-start=\"2486\" data-end=\"2504\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2506\" data-end=\"2533\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.50 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2535\" data-end=\"2563\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 2.00 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2565\" data-end=\"2597\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 20.94 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2599\" data-end=\"2632\"\u003eNeck Depth at 12th Fret: 25.17 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2634\" data-end=\"2653\"\u003eNut Width: 43.06 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2655\" data-end=\"2683\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 52.55 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2685\" data-end=\"2700\"\u003eWeight: 4.43 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2702\" data-end=\"2712\"\u003eYear: 2008\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2714\" data-end=\"2734\"\u003eSerial Number: SA069\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2736\" data-end=\"2815\"\u003eModel: Gibson Custom Shop \"Inspired By\" Slash Signed and Aged Les Paul Standard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2817\" data-end=\"2874\"\u003eCrafted in: Gibson Custom Shop, Nashville, Tennessee, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2876\" data-end=\"2904\"\u003eFinish: Murphy Aged Sunburst\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2906\" data-end=\"2972\"\u003eBody: One Piece Non Weight Relieved Mahogany with Carved Maple Top\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2974\" data-end=\"2998\"\u003eNeck: One Piece Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3000\" data-end=\"3027\"\u003eNeck Profile: 1950s Rounded\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3029\" data-end=\"3050\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3052\" data-end=\"3078\"\u003eInlays: Acrylic Trapezoids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3080\" data-end=\"3100\"\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3102\" data-end=\"3124\"\u003eFrets: 22 Medium Jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3126\" data-end=\"3164\"\u003ePickups: Custom Wound Slash Humbuckers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3166\" data-end=\"3213\"\u003eControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3 Way Toggle Switch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3215\" data-end=\"3265\"\u003eBridge: ABR 1 Tune O Matic with Stop Bar Tailpiece\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3267\" data-end=\"3288\"\u003eTuners: Kluson Deluxe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3290\" data-end=\"3311\"\u003eHardware: Aged Nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3313\" data-end=\"3370\"\u003eSpecial Features: Tom Murphy Ageing, Hand Signed by Slash\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3372\" data-end=\"3421\"\u003eCase: Original Gibson Custom Shop Hard Shell Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3423\" data-end=\"3502\"\u003ePaperwork: Original Certificate of Authenticity and Complete Factory Case Candy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48313283412121,"sku":"26140","price":42495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/11_889d048b-90c8-4e70-a117-a9a120374f94.png?v=1783920968","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-inspired-by-slash-signed-and-aged-les-paul-standard-usa-2008","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
