Mint 2008 Gibson USA Les Paul Slash Signature Goldtop – Limited Edition (1 of 1,000)
Up for sale is a highly sought-after, incredibly rare 2008 Gibson USA Slash Signature Les Paul Goldtop. Produced exclusively in the fall of 2008, this model was strictly limited to a production run of just 1,000 guitars worldwide. This guitar was designed as a heartfelt tribute to one of the most iconic instruments in rock history, with design input directly from the legendary guitarist to match his preferred specs.
This specific instrument has been meticulously kept and professionally set up. If you are looking for top-tier technical audio performance, this guitar delivers massive, articulate tone and rich sustain, making it an exceptional piece for both collectors and serious players who demand studio-grade sound quality.
Condition
This guitar is in absolutely mint condition. There are no scratches, dings, or buckle rash anywhere on the body. The only sign of age is some minor, natural finish checking/cracking strictly on the headstock, which is common for aging nitrocellulose finishes and does not affect the structural integrity or playability of the instrument. It has been perfectly maintained, kept in its case, and is freshly set up to play effortlessly with low action and optimal neck relief.
Uniqueness & Technical Specifications
This limited run features several distinctive appointments that set it apart from a standard Les Paul:
- Body & Finish: Features a standard, un-chambered mahogany body utilizing Gibson's traditional weight relief system (often referred to as "Swiss cheese" holes) for a comfortable yet substantial feel. It boasts a carved maple top finished in classic Bullion Gold, beautifully contrasted by an aged Cherry back.
- Neck Profile: The mahogany set-neck features a bound rosewood fingerboard and a custom Slim C-shape profile that strikes the perfect balance between '50s roundness and a '60s slim taper.
- Pickups & Audio Performance: Loaded with a set of exposed Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro humbuckers. These pickups are engineered for pristine technical audio performance, providing a warm, spongy lower end, smooth highs, and the exact biting mid-range output required to cut through a dense mix.
- Hardware: Equipped with original Gibson Deluxe vintage-style tuning machines and a classic Tune-o-matic bridge with a stop-bar tailpiece for rock-solid intonation and tuning stability.
- Exclusive Artwork: The headstock face features the iconic custom Slash "Skull and Top Hat" silkscreen logo.
- Case: Includes the original custom Gibson USA hardshell case featuring the matching Slash artwork printed on the exterior.
