Slash Model
Since the VOS model, the next Slash Signature model was a Les Paul Tobacco Burst. It features Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro 2 pickups and Slash's custom neck profile.
Following this model was an 'Inspired By' Les Paul guitar.
It was a Goldtop model that wasn't much different to the original Goldtop. Both guitars carry Slash's pickups, the Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro 2's and the line also has his custom neck profile.
The Slash Signature Tobacco Burst and 'Inspired By' Goldtop Les Paul, are both produced by epiphone as well with the same pickups and neck profile as the Gibson models. EDIT: This info is C/P via wikipedia, but the info repeats itself differently? Make of it what you will!

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Talking about Slash... I just recently read his autobiography, which I will warmly recommend. Great entertainment. The catch phrase on the cover "It seems excessive, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen" fits the bill quite nicely.
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

I know! Les Paul made me think of it, I have it, thoroughly enjoyable read eh!
Another good read is Anthony Keidis - Chillie Peppers "Scar Tissue"

It was one of the first things I learnt at music class "Les Paul invented the electric guitar" well he didn't actually however he was one of the first to get something of this type manufactured.
Les Paul, a name that will always be remembered.

I've been wondering for quite some time now.....When was the first electric guitar made?
If my calculations are right,Les made his "LOG" guitar around 1928-ish.
$1,101,806

Unfortunately I cannot find the full Lynard Skynard Version of "Mr Banker"
IMO a great tribute to the value of a Les Paul invented Guitar...
Up shot of the song is a bloke going to a bank for a loan to pay for his fathers funeral, last verse we learn that his only asset to mortgage is his Les Paul Guitar...

R.I.P to a man who gave us one of the greatest guitars ever. You have been an inspiration to so many.

Not a chance. They've been pumping them out for decades now. It it was a nice '58 it wouldn't need the death of Les Paul to bump the value. It'd already be enough to buy a house. If it's one of the more recent 'planks' it's never going to be worth more than it cost new.
However, a nice '76 Pro Deluxe like this one (which I sold to buy the wife a Harley) is a definate future classic:

As it happens, I replaced this Gibson Les Paul last year with one hand built by British luthier Gordon Smith. It was expensive for a 'copy' (if that's what you want to see it as) but fits me better (something about the 15" radius and better balance I suspect).

Still love my 1988 Gibson Les Paul Custom which I've had since '88. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. Farewell Les and RIP.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
