2010 Epiphone Custom Shop Limited Edition Appetite Les Paul.
Limited to just 3.000 guitar worldwide. This is a collector’s guitar and as such, its value will increase over time.
There’s a big difference from the current Slash Collection models that surfaced around 2022.
An Appetite for Destruction! Inspired by the axe that the legendary Guns n’ Roses guitarist played on the multi-platinum selling “Appetite for Destruction” album, Epiphone and Slash team up to bring you the Ltd Ed Slash “Appetite” Les Paul Standard Outfit. This model combines all the great features found in Slash’s original guitar.
Specifications:
-Traditional Les Paul body consisting of a hand-selected, premium solid mahogany back based on historically-correct specifications topped with hard maple cap. The hard maple is then carved using a traditional roller-type carving machine for added authenticity. AAA-grade maple veneer is then applied to the top for a gorgeous 3-dimensional look.
-The neck is also crafted from premium mahogany then glued into the body using TiteBond® wood glue, utilizing a long-neck tenon typically found on the Les Pauls from the late 1950s and early 1960s. The neck also features a “Slash Custom” neck profile patterned exclusively from the neck on Slash’s original Les Paul and a rosewood fingerboard fitted with 22 nickel/silver alloy medium-jumbo frets.
-A pair of humbucking pickups kicking out the tone that has set the standard for rock and roll for over 50 years. The “Appetite” LP features Slash’s signature Seymour Duncan™ Alnico II Pro pickups.
-A tone circuit using high-quality “Orange Drop” tone capacitors that was tested and approved by Slash himself. Also unique to this Slash model is the “reverse” Zebra-coil pickup in the bridge position.
-Epiphone’s patent-applied-for LockTone™ Tune-o-matic and stopbar tailpiece
-Epiphone Deluxe tuners
-Hardshell case featuring a Slash’s artwork, a certificate of authenticity personally hand signed by Slash and protected in a leatherette presentation booklet.
