"I used the Derrig- the same Appetite guitar I've used forever. On this record it was simple; just one guitar. I'll adjust whatever to make it right for the song. So that was it."
'Derrig' here refers to Chris Derrig who copied a Gibson '59 Les Paul which Slashed used for the recording of Appetite for Destruction (GnR)- if you've been following this blog for a while, you know it's mentioned here before (not once).
It's interesting to know what Slash used on grounds of preference, I'm saluting this man for just that. We know Gibson released a signature model based on that copy but Slash thought the Derrig guitar should make the recording because he likes what he hears from it, despite it not being the real thing.
