The guitarist's search for his lost 'GoldTop' ended with an unexpected twist.

Do you guys cope well with past traumas? Slash does.

The guitarist spoke in an interview with Consequence of Sound about the new additions to his line of instruments with Gibson , and the reason why he was determined to release a GoldTop Les Paul Standard . “Back in the late 90s, a bunch of my guitars were stolen from my home studio. I actually managed to get almost all of them back, but I never knew exactly who was behind the theft. And one of the guitars I couldn't get back was a GoldTop that was stolen.”

“So I’ve been trying to find another GoldTop to replace it over the years,” he recalls. “Then at some point I found out who was responsible for the theft, not too long ago, and her name was Victoria , so I decided to name the guitar after her!”
