Jackson Firebird Custom Shop
Jackson · electric guitar
Slash's Jackson Firebird Custom Shop guitar takes the reverse-body Firebird silhouette most associated with Gibson, whose own Custom Shop later built a separate line of Slash-signature Firebirds, and reinterprets it through Jackson's own Custom Shop, finished in black with a Floyd Rose tremolo, dual humbuckers, and a 22-fret ebony fretboard carrying Jackson's own inlay style rather than Gibson block markers. It also features a sticker modeled after Slash's personal lady tattoo with his nickname beneath it, a distinctly personal touch on an already unusual crossover instrument that borrows a classic Gibson body shape but executes it entirely through Jackson's own construction and hardware philosophy, including the Floyd Rose that a stock Gibson Firebird has never offered.
