Together with their most well-known global brand ambassador, Gibson have endowed the Artist Collection Slash 'Jessica' Les Paul with every one of the Guns N' Roses guitarist's favourite features. Fresh out of the Gibson workshop in Nashville, this American single-cut guitar offers legendary sound and combines all the flair of a set-in mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard and a unique three-piece maple top - just like the OG Jessica.The Slash Jessica Les Paul Standard: You Could Be MineThe Honey Burst coated LP that Slash affectionately dubs 'Jessica' hasn't left his hands since the late eighties, when Gibson famously sent him the 1988 factory-second model alongside another of his stage-regulars. Just like the original, the Jessica Les Paul features the much-loved feel of a '50s Vintage neck profile - the same profile that all of Slash's guitars feature. This, combined with the classic 12 inch fretboard radius and set of twenty-two medium frets give this signature model its immediately cozy feel and light and easy playability.An Aluminum Nashville-1 Tune-O-Matic Bridge, SlashBucker Pickups & Tasty AccessoriesThis Artist Collection LP comes with a set of pre-installed, Slash selected Ernie Ball strings, and when it comes to tuning and intonation, the Jessica comes set up with the stable support of an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece. In terms of sound, medium-gain, Alnico II humbucker tone is laid on thick by a pair of Custom Burstbuckers - otherwise known as SlashBuckers - and besides a hardshell case and complete Gibson Accessory Kit, this certified axe comes including a Slash plectrum pack, a leather strap, multi-tool and a standard black truss rod cover.

A sharper-priced variant of the iconic Gibson J-180, the Epiphone Modern Collection J-180 LS electro-acoustic guitar is based on the same model that found itself the hands of many a legendary guitarist across a spectrum of different genres. Fans include the Everly Brothers, Cat Stevens, Dwight Yoakam and Billie Joe Armstrong and, anyone who got to see The Eras Tour might have noticed Taylor Swift strumming one of these stone-cold classics. In short: the Epiphone J-180 LS gives you the same shimmering acoustic sound as some of the biggest names - and a sweet bonus, this stunner of a guitar comes including a deluxe Epiphone case stamped with the Epiphone inspired by Gibson Custom logo and complete with a purple-lined interior.The Epiphone Modern Collection J-180 LS: Impressive SoundThe larger jumbo body of the Epiphone J-180 LS starts with a solid spruce soundboard, which has been thermally aged to give this model a fully matured and played in sound the moment it leaves the workshop. This is supported by a solid mahogany back and solid mahogany sides, completing a timeless wood combo that guarantees a strong, richly resonant, deep and versatile acoustic sound. Couple that magic recipe with the big, rounded body and you're also getting plenty of volume - which is exactly why this model is so loved for its strummed sound.A High-Grade FinishThe J-180 LS has definitely been designed to support performing and recording artists, so it comes kitted out with a high-spec L.R. Baggs VTC active piezo pickup system that can be directly connected to an acoustic amplifier, PA system or audio interface. As a neat detail, the volume and tone control pots have been discretely tucked away inside the soundhole and, since aesthetics are almost as important as the sound, the Indian laurel fretboard has been adorned with a set of mother-of-pearl star-shaped position markers and the body has been outlined in three-ply binding to strike a satisfying contrast with the flat paint-job. The cherry on top has to be the set of nickel-plated Epiphone Deluxe machine heads, which come finished with vintage-grade keystone tuning buttons.

A lighter and more compact edition of the GP-200, the controls of the Valeton GP-200LT multi-effect box might have been stripped back, but this model still brings the same ease-of-use and truckload of effects and functions as the OG.

A thick and solid Ibanez HSH configuration reinforced by the ultra-varied output of Premium Series electronics and the supreme playability of masterful, Japanese build quality: the Ibanez AZ47P1QM electric guitar offers plenty in return for your hard-earned cash. Naturally, you get the legendary tone of a full DiMarzio-designed pickup set, where the Tone Zone humbucker at the bridge delivers high-gain double-coil sound, the Air Norton humbucker at the neck lays on harmonic richness, and the True Velvet in the middle spits vintage-flavoured single-coil bite. Even with just a five-way switch, this setup already supplies an immense sonic array, but add on that dyna-MIX10 system and the range of voicings is immediately doubled.The Ibanez AZ47P1QM: Premium Construction, Comfort & TuningIt's not just the gold-plated hardware or the liquid-look of the quilted maple top that lend this Ibanez offering its distinct Premium Series flair, but the expert construction and detailing.

The freshest member of the Ibanez Premium line-up, the AZ42P1 bears all of those tasty AZ features and details; the progressive sound of two Hyperion humbuckers; and the clean look of a timeless design. The American basswood body immediately lays down a reliably full and mid-rich foundation framed by the light bite of the stable, bolt-on, roasted maple neck and the added touch of warmth of the rosewood fretboard. While the body and headstock have both been dipped in Prussian Blue Metallic, the back of the neck has the buttery feel of a natural oil finish.The Ibanez AZ42P1: Maximum Comfort & Ten Tonal FoundationsThe C-profile of this Premium Series guitar has a familiar feel in the fret-hand, while the full set of twenty-four jumbo frets provide light and agile playability and have been forged from stainless steel to withstand a lifetime of intense fretwork.
