Page 1 of 2 From day one Slash has been one of our favorite guitar players. From Slash's days in Guns N' Roses all the way to Velvet Revolver, he has played kick ass guitar riffs on the hottest Gibson Les Pauls, making the guys jealous and the ladies go crazy. Seeing how Slash has often been regarded one of the best guitar players of all time, we think it's necessary for us to look at what Slash's Guitar Gear and Equipment looks like. Let's look at what gear and equipment has been seen in Slash's guitar rig.

Comments
Slash used a JCM800 2203 at the Ritz show, which was his main live amp from 1987-1988. He did have a 2210 set up on stage, but it would only be used as a backup. If you watch the Ritz show, you will see that the 2210 is not on or plugged in. The 2203 was used for the entire show. The 2210 was no longer used on stage after Slash acquired the Jubilee 2555.
Ernie Ball and other sources show 11's www.ernieball.com/artist/41-Slash#
Just do google images for: "Slash Hello Kitty" guitar for one piece of proof. ha. I also think he may have mentioned one in his book, but can't remember now. If anyone can recall, post a comment.
