Gibson Publishing, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, is the next major step from Gibson Brands, contributing to the evolution of collaborative artist partnerships and promoting music and music-related topics to fans worldwide. As with the recently launched Gibson Records, the first project for Gibson Publishing is a collaboration with Gibson Global Brand Ambassador and rock legend, Slash. Launching simultaneously with the Slash episode of Gibson TV’s popular series of the same name, The Collection: Slash is a premium coffee table book that explores in unprecedented detail the instruments Slash has used on countless hit records on stages worldwide, in front of millions of adoring fans. While Slash’s association with the Gibson Les Paul™ is well known, Les Pauls are only part of the story. Over the years, Slash has amassed a staggering collection of about 400 instruments, from holy grail vintage pieces to prototype Gibson signature models to guitars made by B.C. Rich®, Guild®, boutique acoustic luthiers, and plenty more besides.

Launching initially in North America only, The Collection: Slash is available to pre-order in Custom and Deluxe editions from August 25th via Gibson.com. The Deluxe Edition of The Collection: Slash is presented in a slipcase and measures 240 x 340 mm (9.45 x 13.39”). It includes a cover poster, four guitar art prints, and a certificate of authenticity. The initial print run of the Deluxe Edition is hand-signed by Slash and is limited to 1,000 copies.

Over 300 pages in length, The Collection: Slash is lavishly illustrated with numerous photos of the guitarist and his impressive guitar collection, shot by the Gibson team and legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin, whose relationship with Slash extends back to an early Guns N’ Roses portrait session from 1986. Accompanying the imagery will be insights drawn from brand new, exclusive interviews with Slash himself.

Written and edited by Gibson editor-in-chief Chris Vinnicombe, The Collection: Slash is a must-have for both Slash fans and those who admire fine guitars.
