Non-weight-relieved mahogany body, three-piece maple top, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and 50s vintage neck profile, custom Burstbucker pickups with Alnico 2 magnets, hard-shell case
A hard rock tribute to Slash's number one stage guitar
Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver fans undoubtedly know the guitar Slash named « Jessica ». Jessica has been Slash’s main stage guitar since 1988. The original Jessica was a factory second and one of two Les Paul™ guitars Gibson sent to Slash in the late 80s. Now, Gibson is proud to introduce a new model based on Slash's old favorite. Jessica features a three-piece plain maple top on a non-weight-relieved mahogany body and a mahogany neck with a 50s vintage neck profile. Jessica is equipped with a pair of Custom Burstbucker™ pickups with Alnico 2 magnets, hand-wired to Orange Drop® capacitors. Originally, the guitar was a bright Cherry Sunburst, but Slash had Jessica refinished, which is reflected, without the heavy road wear on the original, in the gloss Honey Burst with Red Back nitrocellulose finish used on the new model. Slash’s signature is reproduced on the truss rod cover and Schaller strap locks are pre-installed on the guitar. Other extras include a set of Slash picks, a USA leather strap, a multi-tool, and a blank truss rod cover in the included hard-shell case.
