Gibson Slash Victoria Les Paul Standard

About the Gibson Slash Victoria Les Paul Standard

Victoria is the 2020 Slash Collection USA Standard in goldtop with a dark back, a tribute to the 1987 pre-historic 57 reissue goldtop of the Use Your Illusion tour, stolen in 1999 and never recovered. It carries the core Collection specs rather than the original's: a thick 50s-style neck, Gibson Custom BurstBucker Alnico II pickups, a Nashville bridge and a two-piece back, and it is regular production. The 2008 signature Goldtop, a limited run of 1,000, is the other Gibson tribute to the same guitar, with a slimmer neck, Seymour Duncan APH-1 pickups and a treble bleed. The dark back varies from near black to black cherry between units and with the light.

What owners have said elsewhere

Paraphrased from 120 discussion threads among 42 owners, 2020-2026. No names, nothing quoted.

Most owners call it one of the best USA Standards Gibson makes, ready out of the box, with stock pickups that surprised people who had planned to swap them; several report the artist calling it his best-sounding goldtop and touring with it. The dissent is about quality control on some units, a two-piece back at the price and the premium for the name. Those who mod it go to the 2008 Goldtop's electronics: Seymour Duncan pickups, new capacitors and a treble bleed. Asked Victoria or a Custom Shop 57, owners mostly say Victoria for the money and a late 1980s pre-historic darkback if one can be found.
