Забавный ресурс - немного про реплики гибсонов в коллекции Слэша. Их, оказывается, как минимум было три.

Here is a fairly famous photo of Slash's 3 replica Les Pauls from Left to right Slash's #4 1959 Derrig Replica purchased from Jim Foote in 1996 (renecked) / 9 0607 Derrig The AFD Recording Replica LP Guitar / Max 1960 LP Replica 0 -94XX
Slash with Pamela Manning - 4/5/1986 - @ The Whiskey (Marc Canter's book "Reckless Road ")
the demos that were produced at Sound City Studios by Manny Charlton that were dated June 4,1986
Despite the photo title (1959 Les Paul Replica) Slash's "main" guitar (serial number 9 0607) used on all of the Guns and Roses AFD recordings is actually a Kris Derrig Les Paul replica with a "1958 Les Paul Profile" 1959 Replica with a Flamed Maple Chevron pin-striped top and honduran mahogany body and neck, built completely by Kris Derrig around May-June 1986.

SLASH WITH HIS "1959" DERRIG LES PAUL REPLICA
... и добавил:Короче, все что нужно знать - некий Крис Дэрринг сделал реплику за "малоденех" в 86, а в 87-м уже вышел знаменитый Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction с кучей хитов, записанных Слэшэм на этой самой гитаре. Ну а дальше уже история, наверное единственный случай когда Gibson делали подписную гитару из... реплики их гитары.
