I'm jonesing on one of these babies recently. Need to make a sale first before I can pull the trigger on this.

That Slash Les Paul looks to be a very nice guitar.

 

However, I can't but help think that in the UK you'll pay close on £700 for it and for another £400 you should be able to pick up a Gibson Les Paul Standard which will hold its value far better.

Hello!

 

As it seems, real Gibsons for 2015 model year are made by Epiphone. (Not mentioning the Custom Shop).
