Slash's accessories"As far as the tension is concerned, I like it to be heavy, so I use heavy strings. I keep the pickups as close to the strings as possible, but the strings don't hit the magnets, since I play pretty hard." (Slash)
Pickups"Alnico 2 Pro are medium to low output pickups. So, they're really gruff instead of being way high output which gives you that sort of obvious heavy metal kind of thing." (Slash)
Almost all of Slash Les Paul are equipped with Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro pickups.

Strings"Ernie Ball strings consistently sound great. They don't oxidize too fast, and they don't break. They're tremendously reliable. Once I find something that works, I stick with it." (Slash)
Slash mainly uses Ernie Ball Power Slinky RPS 11-48 strings.
