1996 Gibson Custom Shop Slash Signature Les Paul Snakepit 1 of 70 Limited Edition

皆為本公司多年收藏，無對外販售。For display only. Not for sale.

1996年Slash依照自己的想法與Gibson共同合作打造的Snakepit蛇窩，因外觀出眾特殊，Slash與Michael Jackon演唱會上合作後因而聲名大噪，這也是Slash第一支量產琴，由當年的技師T.C. Harrison純手工雕刻與鑲貝，官方對外聲明限量100支，但因製作過成繁瑣最終生產不到70支。Slash於1996/1997年向Gibson獲得了四支，但於1998年被遭竊走三支，如今Slash只擁有一支Snakepit，這也是他最珍貴的吉他之一。

琴身表面除了有著手工雕刻並彩繪的Slash個人標誌"Snakepit"，指版上還有著貝殼鑲嵌的眼鏡蛇，擁有強大的侵略性，這也是Gibson唯一一次在量產琴上如此製作，非常華麗。目前狀況好的Snakepit市值都是接近300萬台幣起跳，迄今為止依然是Slash一系列Signature Model中最稀有且最具有收藏價值的一把吉他。

In 1996, Slash collaborated with Gibson to create this Snakepit guitar based on his own vision. Its distinctive and unique appearance garnered significant attention after Slash's collaboration with Michael Jackson during a concert. This was also Slash's first commercially produced guitar, meticulously handcrafted and inlaid with seashells by the technician T.C. Harrison. The official statement indicated a limited production of 100 units, but due to the intricate manufacturing process, fewer than 70 guitars were ultimately produced. Slash acquired four Snakepit guitars from Gibson in 1996/1997, but three of them were stolen in 1998. Currently, Slash only possesses one Snakepit guitar, which is also one of his most cherished instruments.

The top features hand-carved and painted "Snakepit," Slash's personal emblem. The fretboard is adorned with a cobra inlay made of seashells, representing its aggressive nature. This was the only time Gibson incorporated such elaborate craftsmanship in a production model, making it exceptionally ornate. Well-preserved Snakepit guitars are currently valued at a minimum of approximately US$100,000, and they remain the rarest and most collectible among Slash's Signature models.
