From Slash (2010). Slash is the debut solo studio album by American rock and roll musician Slash, best known as the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Slash 'Inspired By' Les Paul Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Slash's other songs from Slash, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
