Watch Slash talk about the original 'Jessica' Gibson Les Paul, his No.1 live guitar you've heard on countless Guns n' Roses songs, Velvet Revolver tracks and more.
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.
