Since 1997, Slash has collaborated with Gibson on [[Gibson Les Paul#Slash|seventeen signature Les Paul models]], including five through Gibson USA, seven through the Gibson Custom Shop, and five through the Gibson subsidiary [[Epiphone]]. Slash also plays various other Gibson guitars, including [[Gibson Firebird|Firebirds]] and [[Gibson Explorer|Explorers]]. He also plays or has played guitars by a plethora of other brands, including [[B.C. Rich]] with whom he has designed several custom models based on their [[B.C. Rich Mockingbird|Mockingbird]] and [[Bich 10|Bich]] designs. He has used guitars by [[Fender Guitars|Fender]], [[Gretsch]], [[Jackson Guitars|Jackson]], and [C. F. Martin & Company[Martin]]. He has also collaborated on signature equipment with other companies. In 1996, Marshall introduced the Marshall Slash Signature JCM{{nbsp}}2555, an authentic reissue of the Marshall "Silver Jubilee" JCM{{nbsp}}2555 released in 1987. It was the first signature amp ever produced by Marshall, with production limited to 3000.<ref name="marshallsignature">{{cite web |title=Marshall Slash Signature JCM 2555 on SlashParadise |publisher=www.slashparadise.com |date=January 1, 2010 |url=http://www.slashparadise.com/equipment/marshall-jcm2555-slash-signature.php |access-date=April 30, 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120418163731/http://www.slashparadise.com/equipment/marshall-jcm2555-slash-signature.php |archive-date=April 18, 2012}}</ref> In 2007, [[Dunlop Manufacturing|Jim Dunlop]] introduced the [[Dunlop Cry Baby|Crybaby]] SW-95 Slash Signature Wah, designed after Slash's own custom-built Crybaby wah pedal.<ref name="dunlopsignature">{{cite journal |last=Gill |first=Chris |title=Dunlop Crybaby SW-95 Slash Wah |date=July 19, 2007 |journal=Guitar World |publisher=Future US, Inc. |url=http://www.guitarworld.com/article/dunlop_cry_baby_sw_95_slash_wah |access-date=April 30, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110508035304/http://www.guitarworld.com/article/dunlop_cry_baby_sw_95_slash_wah|archive-date=May 8, 2011}}</ref> In 2010, [[Seymour Duncan]] introduced the Alnico II Pro Slash APH-2 pickups, which were designed to recreate the tone of Slash's main studio guitar.<ref name="seymoursignature">{{cite web |title=Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Slash APH-2 |publisher=SeymourDuncan.com |url=http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/alnico_ii_pro_s_1/ |access-date=April 30, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100114032354/http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/alnico_ii_pro_s_1|archive-date=January 14, 2010}}</ref> The Slash signature pickups were marketed through Seymour Duncan's YouTube channel with product demonstrator Danny Young performing the official videos.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/demo-videos-seymour-duncan-alnico-ii-pro-slash-signature-pickups|title=Demo Videos: Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Slash Signature Pickups|work=Guitar World|access-date=2018-03-25|language=en-us|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180325171433/https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/demo-videos-seymour-duncan-alnico-ii-pro-slash-signature-pickups|archive-date=March 25, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.seymourduncan.com/artist/daniel-young|title=Daniel Young|work=Seymour Duncan|access-date=2018-03-25|language=en-US|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180325232314/https://www.seymourduncan.com/artist/daniel-young|archive-date=March 25, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|last=Seymour Duncan|title=Alnico II Pro Slash (Neck)|date=2013-08-09|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIHnP5xtz5s|access-date=2018-03-25|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140321233506/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIHnP5xtz5s|archive-date=March 21, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|last=Seymour Duncan|title=Slash Bridge Pickup Demo (Hard Rock)|date=2013-09-23|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8D3NIjcTxk|access-date=2018-03-25|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160923195015/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8D3NIjcTxk|archive-date=September 23, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|last=Seymour Duncan|title=Slash Bridge Pickup Demo (Classic Rock Version)|date=2014-02-10|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr5lJtoY5Fo|access-date=2018-03-25|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140321233505/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr5lJtoY5Fo|archive-date=March 21, 2014}}</ref> Also in 2010, [[Marshall Amplification|Marshall]] introduced the Marshall AFD100, a recreation of the [[Marshall 1959]] that Slash used for the recording of ''Appetite for Destruction'', with production limited to 2300.<ref name="Marshallafd">{{cite web |title=Marshall AFD100 |publisher=AFD100.com |url=http://www.afd100.com/the-afd-story/ |access-date=April 30, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121228022110/http://www.afd100.com/the-afd-story/ |archive-date=December 28, 2012}}</ref>

On stage, Slash prefers Marshall amplifiers, particularly the Marshall "Silver Jubilee" JCM{{nbsp}}2555 amp. He used a rented early-1970s Marshall 1959 for the recording of ''Appetite for Destruction''.<ref name="Slashsworld">{{cite web |last=Rymas |first=J.R. |title=Sweet Marshall o' Mine Part 2: The Breakthrough – Case Closed! |publisher=SlashsWorld.com |url=http://www.slashsworld.com/equipment/amps/the-appetite-amp-story/sweet-marshall-o%E2%80%99-mine-part-2-the-breakthrough-case-closed/ |access-date=April 22, 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120530075453/http://www.slashsworld.com/equipment/amps/the-appetite-amp-story/sweet-marshall-o%E2%80%99-mine-part-2-the-breakthrough-case-closed/ |archive-date=May 30, 2012 }}</ref> Slash enjoyed the amp so much that he tried to keep it, telling the rental company, S.I.R., that it had been stolen. However, the amp was repossessed by S.I.R. employees after a roadie accidentally brought it to rehearsals at the store.<ref name="Slashsworld" /> For the recording of Velvet Revolver's debut album, ''[[Contraband (Velvet Revolver album)|Contraband]]'', he used a [[Vox AC30]] amp and small [[Fender Musical Instruments Corporation|Fender]] tube amps, and on their second album, ''[[Libertad (Velvet Revolver album)|Libertad]]'', he used the Marshall "Vintage Modern" 2466 amp. On his [[Slash (album)|eponymous debut solo album]], he used a Marshall JCM{{nbsp}}800, issued as "#34", and later, on the subsequent world tour, Slash used his signature Marshall AFD100 amp.
