Appetite for Destruction!

Designed by Slash himself, the AFD Les Paul Special-II has more appointments than most of Sweetwater's other entry-level electric guitars. Topped with AAA flame maple, this guitar also features a dark cherry okoume body and neck, ivory binding, and a silk print of Slash's Snakepit logo on the headstock. The first time you plug into a high-gain amp, the AFD Les Paul Special-II's Ceramic Plus Zebra-coil humbuckers will treat you to the thick, overdriven, screaming metallic tone that Slash made famous. Complete with a premium gig bag, signature guitar picks, and eMedia online lessons, the Epiphone Slash AFD Les Paul Special-II Outfit is a great bundle for beginners or anybody who is searching for a quality, affordable electric guitar.

Epiphone Slash "AFD" Les Paul Special-II Outfit at a Glance:
  • The Epiphone Les Paul Special-II - a real Les Paul at an amazing price
  • Slash - why he is awesome
The Epiphone Les Paul Special-II - a real Les Paul at an amazing price

This streamlined Epiphone Special, a little smaller and weighing less than many of the Les Pauls you'll encounter, delivers a fat and nasty tone thanks to its two open coil humbucker pickups. The Special-II features a okoume body and neck, a pau ferro fretboard with a 1.68" nut width, chrome hardware, and volume/tone controls. This is the go-to guitar for those who want to learn on a Les Paul-style guitar but don't want to break the bank.

Slash - why he is awesome

Known primarily for his work with the hard rock band Guns N' Roses during the late 1980s, Slash has garnered a well-earned reputation as one of rock's preeminent guitarists. Named the runner-up on Time magazine's list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009, and ranking 65 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" in 2011, Slash continues to receive accolades from critics and music fans alike. Aside from his enormous success with Guns N' Roses, Slash has also achieved acclaim with his side project, Slash's Snakepit, and as a member of the supergroup Velvet Revolver. In 2012, Slash received one of rock music's highest honors when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Epiphone Slash "AFD" Les Paul Special-II Outfit Features:
  • AAA flame maple top, okoume body, and ivory binding for stunning appearance
  • Ceramic Plus Zebra-coil humbuckers deliver Slash's signature tone
  • Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece produce excellent tone and sustain
  • Die-cast tuners have a 14:1 ratio for quick and spot-on tuning
  • Included premium gig bag, signature guitar picks, and eMedia online lessons offer tremendous value

Two peculiar things about this guitar...

Check out my video
Rated 4.5/5

This is one mean machine!

This was almost five stars. The guitar came in set up well. No fret sprout, the intonation was dead on, the action was nice and low. The electronics worked flawlessly including the built-in tuner. The pickups sound great clean or with distortion. The flame top is absolutely gorgeous. The only downfall was the tuning pegs. It did not like holding tune, so I bought some locking tuners and put them on. Now the guitar holds tune sounds great and looks good it's ready for the stage.

Great for the price

It sounds really well and plays very good. Took a little to get used to the fretboard as it felt a little rough at first but it's grown on me and has been what I've mainly played since I've got it.
Rated 5/5
