Watch Slash talk about the original ‘Jessica’ Gibson Les Paul, his No.1 live guitar and listen as Slash recounts where the name ‘Jessica’ actually came from! You’ve heard this incredible Gibson Les Paul on countless Guns n’ Roses songs, Velvet Revolver tracks and more. Now it’s time to hear the story of how Slash came to own this iconic guitar.
New for 2024 – Slash “Jessica” Les Paul Standard, Honey Burst with Red Back, available NOW at Gibson.com or your local Gibson dealer.
Guns N’ Roses fans will undoubtedly be familiar with the guitar that Slash named “Jessica.” Jessica has been Slash’s main stage guitar since 1988 when Gibson sent him the original Jessica, a factory second. Now Gibson is proud to add the Slash “Jessica” Les Paul™ Standard model to our Slash Collection — a new model based on Slash’s old favorite.
Slash relies on Jessica for its unique sound: “I 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.”
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 powered by a pair of Custom Burstbucker™ pickups with Alnico 2 magnets that are hand-wired to Orange Drop® capacitors. Originally a bright Cherry Sunburst, Slash had Jessica refinished, which is reflected, minus the considerable road wear on the original, in the gloss nitrocellulose Honey Burst with Red Back finish used on the new model. Slash’s signature is reproduced on the truss rod cover, and Schaller Strap Locks are preinstalled on the guitar. Other extras include a Slash pick set, a USA leather strap, a multi-tool, and a blank truss rod cover in the included hardshell case.
Add the unmistakable Appetite for Destruction sound to your arsenal. Get your very own “Jessica” NOW at Gibson.com or your local Gibson dealer.

Agnesi absolutely does not know what to say
He’s SoFuckin Hot I Love Him So Much 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I saved every penny I could for the past 2 years to buy a slash custom Les Paul. I finally got it when my dad passed because he left me a few bucks as a little wink when he's gone. I went and got it and 4 weeks later I was at a gas station. Guitar in my back seat, doors locked and someone busted my window out and stole it. I'll never be able to save up again being a single parenting father. Heartbreaking stuff
👍👍👍👍
Jessica cause of the allman brothers song i bet
"And I named this guitar when I was drunk and I do Not remember what the catalyst for that was"
That's what we men say when there's a story we don't want to tell, or we don't want our wives to find out about.
Wayyyyy niiiice ax Slash ❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😅😅
Jessica is nice named
I've tried naming my guitars, but nothing sticks. They're just "this one" or "that one".
Think maple top is better than flamed
Vintage
What did you name Fergie?
Do you think the unique sound of Jessica comes from the year of build, 1988? I have a 1988 cherry burst custom one that I imported from USA and she plays unique too, she has more sustain and q fuller tone more than other ones I play, and she has a singing sustained full graceful unique tone
Look at the scars on the guitar… damn
This guitar is a legendary not for auction need to be display on a museum when the time comes slash retire for his career but still remains all the memories
He should have stainless steel frets on his guitars.

Slash! My man! He’s so amazing! He definitely got his guitar collections. Such a humble guy
Does anyone know what songs he uses this one for then?
probably like everyone else who named theirs Jessica when they were drunk: from the Allman Brothers song 👍
really are lucky to see this man alive. He really had the RockStar Life which cost many others their lives but he made it
If that guitar could talk
I still think Metallica was robbed when jethro tull (yes, “that” jethro tull) was handed the Grammy for the best hard rock/metal performance award waaay back.
Yeah, but what is the commercial name for this one ? Custom ? Standard ? Junior ? Les Paul ?
The cool thing about this is, I’m sure plenty of people do, but I don’t know who the interviewer is and Slash is just talking to him and handing him one of his children like he’s family. That’s what’s cool about this. It gives you real insight to the kind of person Slash is.
After he said, some bad things about Paul Stanley, well, that's all I have to say
Is that a 1959? Or 1960? Or?
It probably has something to do with Dickey Betts or Duane Allman playing that same Gibson
Tom Petty shirt❤
Is that the Gibson copy that a late luthier from Massachusetts made for Slash?
Allman Brothers song "Jessica"
A Damn GOOD PLAYER. IMPRESSIVE Talent.
👀 a Tom Petty shirt
The guy is an absolute treasure! I love everything he does.
This guitar
