Gibson Custom Shop “Slash Anaconda Burst” Les Paul Plain Top #173 – Limited Edition (2017)
This is a rare 2017 Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition “Slash Anaconda Burst” Les Paul Plain Top, one of only 250 pieces produced worldwide.
The model was inspired by the guitars used by Slash during his 2016–2017 world tours, featuring a distinctive Anaconda Burst finish and Slash-specified components.
This particular instrument, serial #173, remains in excellent condition with minimal signs of use, carefully maintained by the previous owner. It is offered as a consignment piece from a private collection.
The guitar is equipped with Seymour Duncan Slash Signature APH-1 (neck) and APH-2 (bridge) pickups, delivering the signature warm sustain, midrange punch, and dynamic response associated with Slash’s iconic tone. The neck features the Custom Slash Taper profile, providing a comfortable yet substantial feel that supports both expressive lead playing and powerful rhythm work.
Constructed with a 2-piece plain maple top over a lightweight solid mahogany body, combined with a long tenon neck joint and hide glue construction, this instrument offers exceptional resonance, sustain, and vintage-correct response. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish further enhances tonal openness and aging potential.
Complete with its original Gibson Custom Shop case, this limited-production Les Paul represents both a professional-grade performance instrument and a highly collectible piece for Slash enthusiasts and Gibson collectors alike.
