Gibson Limited Edition 2018 Anaconda Burst Slash Les Paul Electric Guitar












This is the VERY LIMITED 2018 anaconda model that Gibson USA made, as a very limited run in conjunction with the Custom Shop Anaconda’s they made at the time. This was a run of only 400 guitars made, and is NOT the same the current lower grade USA Anaconda’s they are currently making. This run was also made with the actual pickups Slash uses (the Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro Slash Signature editions), and not the lower grade’Slashbuckers’ that Gibson have put in the current non-limited run (Slash definitely does not use’Slashbuckers’ in his live rig). The tone and playability on this guitar is truly excellent, has long neck tenon and the guitar is in mint condition. Will make a great addition to any guitar collection. Below is the advert description of the guitar at the time of the release in 2018. That’ Slash tone has been chased for years since the iconic Guns n’ Roses album came out in 1987. And after touring extensively with prototype models for the last 2 years, Slash has signed off the newest way to get his tone with this Les Paul. Not to mention the brutish low-end response. It’s this familiar sustain and crunch that form the foundation of his guitar tone. Built in the USA. Everything about this guitar just screams quality. It’s based on the original 50’s Les Pauls that Slash owns. Right down to the coveted long neck tenon that connects neck to body – a feature famously used on’59 Les Pauls to notoriously improve sustain. The neck profile has been specified by Slash himself – slightly thinner at the low-end and fills out a bit as you move up the frets so that you can really hang on those long, sustained notes. It’s safe to say that Slash knows a good Les Paul and the spec on this model sums up the perfect Les Paul. If you want one, you better act fast because we expect them to sell out before even arriving at the shop! Here’s what gibson has to say about the Slash Les Paul Anaconda Burst.
