Gibson Slash Snakepit signature Les Paul.

Probably one of the rarest and most time consuming signature guitar Gibson ever made if you ask Bruce Kunkel from the Gibson Custom shop who hand build this model.
This guitar doesn't need a lot of telling. People who want this one know everything about it because it is so rare and unique.
These guitars never comes up for sale and just getting more and more collectible. As shown on one of the pictures one sold on eBay years back for $48.600.
This one is cheaper but much better this one is signed by Slash himself.

This guitar was made by Gibson on Slash’s own demand. It features cranberry finish with Slash’s Snakepit logo, snake inlay across the whole fretboard, and two Alnico Pro II humbuckers. Slash get the first four including the prototype, the only one with the carving on the body turned 90 degrees to be viewed right side up when displayed on a guitar stand. In 1998 Slash's studio was broken into and his guitars were stolen, including 3 of them (also the "Snakepit" prototype). Today Slash has only one of them. These guitars are by far the rarest and most collectible of any of the Slash Signature Les Pauls.
Slash: "I had Gibson make this for in 1996 or 1997. It was the Snakepit guitar and it's got the embossed Slash logo on it and the snake inlay in the neck. It's a gorgeous guitar - I only have one of those and they're very rare. This is one of the best-off guitars that I've been involved with. There weren't a whole bunch of them made. Right when it came out of the case it had a really good, aggressive rock and roll sound. I still use it very so often. I'll take it out on tour, and I use it for slide a lot, so I keep the action up a little bit more. Basically I keep the action medium so that if I need to play slide, it's set up that way, but if I use it for regular fretting, it won't be so obnoxious that I can't use it."
