SLASH WITH S GEAR 2 PRO
In almost all of Slash’s guitars, he uses his signature Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro humbuckers (link to Amazon for price and details). I suggest getting some of the 1.14mm Tortex picks or grab a variety pack to find the pick thickness that works for you.Įverybody is different and you may find that your perfect guitar pick thickness is different – even if you’re a die-hard Slash fan.įind out more about guitar pick materials and thicknesses in this guide. Slash plays with a heavy and aggressive playing style, so it makes sense he matches that style with a heavy guitar pick. These purple Dunlop Tortex picks are 1.14mm and match what Slash uses. Slash plays with a variety of heavy 1.14mm Tortex guitar picks. There are also two Limited Edition finishes: Vermillion Burst (top) or Anaconda Burst (bottom):įor acoustic guitars, Slash has a signature Gibson J-45 available in two finishes: November Burst (shown below) and Vermillion Burst (reddish burst).

Slash has also regularly used a BC Rich Mockingbird as shown below: Slash doesn’t ever use the extra four strings and doesn’t even have them connected. You can see the four extra tuning knobs on the body of the guitar next to the middle cutout. This guitar is a BC Rich Bich, which is a 10 string guitar. The below photo might look strange to some people who only expect to see Slash play Gibsons, but he has a long history of playing BC Rich guitars. He also used it in the Use Your Illusion tour and his solo tours. I could fill this guide just looking at the various Les Pauls he owns, but let’s move on to some other interesting guitars.įor the song Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, Slash breaks out this EDS-1275 double-neck guitar. It’s interesting to find out that the tone you hear on that album wasn’t actually a Gibson, but a replica.

This is the guitar used on the Appetite for Destruction album. Slash also performs with a 1959 Gibson Les Paul replica built by Kris Derrig. The below guitar is a 1987 Gibson Les Paul Standard Slash received from Gibson in 87 and has used live from the Appetite for Destruction tour to today. While he owns and has played a lot of different guitars over the years, when most people picture Slash, they think of him playing a Gibson Les Paul. So in this guide, I’ll focus on the guitars he tours with today. My sanity will quickly spiral out of control if I try to really dig into the guitars he’s used over the years. You’ve probably seen photos like the one below and it’s crazy to think that these guitars are probably only a small part of his collection.
