The new Slash Signature Les Paul Goldtop has become a must-have for guitar collectors and fans alike. So much so that Gibson is sponsoring a contest to win one of the company’s fine new editions of its all-time classic. All entrants need do is make and post a video showing how far they’d go to win one. Would you write a song? Shave your head to sing it? That’s just what Goldtop fan did Steve Huff did for his entry. But don’t call him, er, green with envy for the new Slash Signature edition – ’cause he painted himself gold for the occasion, too! Here’s now bald-’n’-gold Steve singing his original composition, “Slash Goldtop Blues.” Good luck, gold friend!
