Gibson Slash "Victoria" Les Paul Standard 2025 - Goldtop

This is a 2025 Gibson Slash “Victoria” Les Paul Standard Goldtop, and outside of one very important condition note, this is an exceptionally clean example. The Victoria is one of the more traditional guitars in the Slash lineup, built around a non-weight-relieved mahogany body with a maple top, rosewood fretboard and the stripped-back Goldtop look Slash is known for.

The Gold finish looks fantastic in person. It has that warm, slightly darker metallic look that changes quite a bit depending on the light, and the exposed black pickups against the cream plastics give this one a little more attitude than a traditional covered-pickup Goldtop. The dark-finished back is also extremely clean with no major dings or scratches to call out.

The big major dings or scratches to call out.

The big disclosure on this guitar is the headstock. It has had a previous break and was professionally repaired. The repair line is visible from both the front and back, so I am listing the guitar conservatively as Fair despite the rest of it presenting much closer to Excellent. I don't like burying repairs in a description—it's there, it's visible in the photos, and it is reflected in the condition rating. The guitar passed my inspection and a recent master-luthier setup with no playability issues.

And that setup is seriously good. The action is insanely low without buzzing, the neck feels great, intonation is spot on and the frets are excellent. This is one of those Les Pauls that feels noticeably dialed in as soon as you start playing it. At 9.8 lbs on my scale, it has the substantial feel you would expect from a non-weight-relieved Les Paul.

The original Gibson Custom Burstbucker Alnico 2 pickups are still in place, and they suit this guitar perfectly. There is plenty of output and bite from the bridge while the neck stays thick and smooth without getting overly muddy. The electronics passed inspection with no issues.

The Slash details are all here as well, including the signature truss rod cover and Skully artwork on the back of the headstock. It includes the original Gibson hardshell case along with the original inspection sheet and warranty booklet.

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.

⏳ Quick note: These guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 3–7 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If his one’s on your radar, now’s the window!
