Another Vintage Guitar Myth Exposed - Slash's Replica that Saved Gibson

The 80's were a dismal time for both Fender and Gibson. I can remember seeing many a Les Paul having birthdays on the shop wall at bargain prices. The Charvels, ESP's etc were flying out the door. Then Slash came along. A world class player with great tone. His vintage Les Paul styling turned heads in pop rock and Gibson sales soared with a vengeance. Slash's number one however is not a Gibson - its a fine crafted replica. Below is the actual printed article with the text blown up. Read for yourself.
