Slash's accessories
Pick-up
When Slash was given the honor of having a Gibson Les Paul Signature model built, we sent over the same Alnico 2 Pro humbuckers that he has used for decades. Turns out, the new guitars sounded noticeably different than the original. So we accepted the challenge to make him a new pickup that would make all of his new signature guitars sound just like the original AFD Les Paul. The result is the Slash Signature Model humbucker. We used a different mag wire and winding spec, that, when combined with the alnico 2 bar magnet, provided exactly what was needed to push a stock Les Paul toward that familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange that was so characteristic of the tone of Slash’s original Derrig Les Paul copy.The Slash humbucker set is hand built in Santa Barbara the same way we built his originals in the 80s, using a nickel silver bottom plate with long mounting legs, single conductor braided lead wire, maple spacer, paper tape, and wax potting.

Strings
"Ernie Ball strings consistently sound great. They don't oxidize too fast, and they don't break. They're tremendously reliable. Once I find something that works, I stick with it." (Slash)
Picks
"I'm real simpleminded about that. I use the heaviest picks I can find for everything. I don't believe in switching picks like people switch guitars." (Slash)
Slash use guitar picks Dunlop Purple Tortex 1.14 mm.

Slash is the legendary guitarist behind the classic riffs on "Sweet Child o' Mine" and "Paradise City," performed with Guns N Roses, and he's the backbone of the bands Velvet Revolver and Slash's Snakepit. Chosen by a Time magazine survey as the second greatest electric guitarist of all time behind only Jimi Hendrix, Slash's place in rock history is, like his Hollywood star, cast in stone. Slash's career took off in 1987 with GNR's first release, Appetite for Destruction. After a successful nine-year run with GNR, Slash went on to release two platinum albums with Velvet Revolver, winning a Grammy for "Slither "off their first album, followed by a successful album with Slash's Snakepit. In 2010, Slash released his first self-titled album with a lineup of music's biggest names supplying the vocals. In 2012, he released Apocalyptic Love featuring Miles Kennedy and the Conspirators, which is enjoying critical acclaim. Slash featuring Miles Kennedy and the Conspirators are now on a world tour.
"The main thing about these cables is that they endure everything I put them through. Which is Hell." - Slash
