Released in 2010 and produced through 2011, the Gibson Les Paul Slash AFD (Appetite for Destruction) pays tribute to one of the most influential guitar tones in rock history - the sound of Slash’s late-’50s Les Paul Standard that powered Appetite for Destruction. Built in close collaboration with Slash himself, this model captures both the look and feel of that legendary instrument while incorporating modern reliability and consistency.
Finished in Gibson’s striking Appetite Amber, the top showcases a beautifully figured maple cap over a solid mahogany body, paired with a comfortable ’50s-style neck carve that feels instantly familiar in the hand. The Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro humbuckers deliver that unmistakable Slash tone - rich, open mids, singing sustain, and sweet top-end clarity whether clean or pushed into classic Marshall crunch. It’s a dynamic and expressive Les Paul that covers everything from warm blues to arena-sized rock tones.
This example is in excellent condition, showing only light signs of use. It plays beautifully, with a smooth setup and a lively, resonant unplugged tone that translates effortlessly when amplified. A must-have for fans of Slash, Guns N’ Roses, or anyone who appreciates a Les Paul that blends vintage inspiration with modern playability and punch. Includes its original Gibson hard shell case.
