Slash is probably one of the most famous Les Paul players in rock. He has a huge collection of Les Pauls, but his best known and best loved is actually a 1959 replica built by Kris Derrig. The guitar was bought for Slash by his manager in late 1986 for recording of Appetite For Destruction. The guitar came with Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 pickups and quickly became Slash's main studio instrument. Another Les Paul that Slash is famous for playing with is his 1987 Les Paul Standard which has been used on countless tours.
