In collector-grade condition, this is a limited edition of only 100 units worldwide featuring Slash’s hand-signed version. Released in 2008 as the first reissue collaboration between Gibson Custom Shop and Slash, it was masterfully crafted by legendary luthier Tom Murphy. This model faithfully recreates Slash’s 1987 Les Paul Standard with serial number 81757532, famously known as “Jessica.” A total of 150 guitars were produced in this series, including 100 hand-signed pieces and 50 unsigned versions.

In 1987, Slash purchased two Les Paul Standards in the same finish directly from Gibson. Among them, serial number 81757532 accompanied him throughout years of touring and was featured in the iconic “Sweet Child O’ Mine” music video from Guns N’ Roses’ 1987 debut album. The other guitar, serial number 81607535, was stolen from his home in 1999. As a result, “Jessica” became one of Slash’s most treasured instruments and remains one of his primary guitars on tour to this day.

This guitar features a mahogany body and neck, with a Custom Slash Profile neck carve closely resembling late ’60s specifications. The three-piece maple top is meticulously recreated, along with the distinctive Honey Burst finish that evolved from the original Cherry Burst over time. The aging work, personally executed by Tom Murphy, precisely replicates the wear patterns of the original guitar, including the iconic cigarette burn mark beneath the bridge, repaired headstock cracks, and extensive playwear from years of touring, bringing the instrument remarkably close to the original in every detail.

It is equipped with Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II pickups, identical to those in the original guitar, offering strong output and rich, full-bodied tonal character that perfectly captures Slash’s signature sound.

The 2008 Inspired by Slash Les Paul Standard is one of the most iconic and sought-after Slash signature reissues. Among them, the hand-signed versions are the rarest on the market. As Tom Murphy no longer produces aged Signature Models, these early master-built signed aged reissues have long been regarded as highly collectible pieces with strong appreciation potential, making this an exceptional opportunity for serious collectors and players alike.
