New Seymour Duncan 11104-08 APH-2s Alnico II Pro Slash Signature Hum-bucker Guitar Pickups Set of 2 Zebra Matched Set Made in USA If you want to be very authentic and true to the Slash image than maybe the Gibson Les Paul Standard will float your boat! Mahogany tends to give a warm, dark, almost honky sound and Slash has a famously clear overdriven sound with quite bit of “honky texture” due to the mahogany and fullness thanks to the humbuckers. In terms of the guitar option the main things to keep in mind are that it is made of mahogany and that it has humbuckers. With that being said, you know are getting a quality instrument, and in the case of this Epiphone, it won’t break the bank! You can pick one of these up and start rocking for around $400! They feature a mahogany neck and body and a rosewood fretboard just like Slash’s Gibson! Keep in mind, you don’t necessarily need a Les Paul to sound like Slash, a mahogany guitar (of any body shape) and hum-bucker pick ups can go a long way and get some crazy results! Let’s take a look at some plausible candidates! Slash Les Paul Vermillion 2013Įpiphone is a company affiliated with Gibson and they are actually the only other company, besides Gibson, that is licensed to produce the original Les Paul design. In this case we are looking for a guitar that features mahogany and has hum-bucking pickups. The important take away here is the material the guitar is made out of and the type of pickups. It has large frets which make it very easy to bend notes (another huge aspect of Slash’s sound which we will discuss later on) and features two Seymour Duncan Alnico II pro hum-bucking pickups. He is a massive fan of the ’87 Gibson Les Paul which features a mahogany neck and body, rosewood fretboard and a 3 piece maple top. The Guitar Slash Les Paul Standard Signature 2004Īs mentioned before, Slash is famous for using a Gibson Les Paul guitar. Both are equally important and there are many possibilities on both fronts that will create the famous Slash sound! Here we will take a look at possible guitar and amp options as well as low-budget tone hacks that sound great! So with that being said, there are two main parts to this rig: the guitar and the amp. When he does use effects they are commonly delay, reverb or a Wah-Wah pedal (the latter being a huge part of the Slash sound!). He uses very little effect pedals (if any). He is famous for using a Gibson Les Paul guitar into a Marshall all-tube amplifier. When it comes down to it Slash’s rig is relatively simplistic.

Today we will be taking a look on how to achieve Slash’s guitar tone by exploring the guitars, amps, pedals and accessories the man himself uses! For many people when they think of a guitar the next thought they have is they experience is of a Les Paul, long hair and (of course) a top hat! Slash’s image and sound has defined and inspired generations of guitarist’s the world over. Slash has a famously clear overdriven sound with quite bit of “honky texture” due to the mahogany guitar, fullness thanks to the hum-buckers and accurate technique.
