Slash (Guns N' Roses) Rig

Estimated build cost: ~$27,946 (based on current listings)

Rock Guns N' Roses Slash

Slash’s tone is the sound of rock ’n’ roll rebellion: thick, sustaining Les Paul growl, dynamic touch sensitivity, soaring leads, and raw attitude. He keeps his rig relatively straightforward — focused on great guitars, British-style amps, and a simple but effective pedalboard that lets his playing do the talking.

The total price shown on this page includes all listed gear options (multiple Gibson Slash Signature Les Pauls, Magnatone SL-100 signature amp, Marshall Silver Jubilee & JCM 800 heads, full 4x12 cabinet stack, and complete pedalboard). Slash’s rig is built around high-quality, road-proven gear that adds up quickly.  

A very usable Slash-inspired rock rig can realistically be built for significantly less (see Budget Alternatives below). Prices are current Reverb averages and will fluctuate.
