Rig Rundown: Guns N' Roses

The gear of Slash, Duff McKagan, and Richard Fortus finally revealed.

In 1990, Slash bought a 1958 Les Paul that was the first 2-piece sunburst produced, according to Gibson’s original handwritten ledger. It’s too valuable to tour with, so Slash had Gibson build this identical replica for the road.

Special thanks to Slash's tech Adam Day and Duff's tech Mike “Mcbob” Mayhue who have both been with the band since Appetite for Destruction.
