Long-teased, finally released today.
The same price as the other Slash sigs, which is interesting given you're swapping a 2-piece AAA flame top for a 3-piece plain top, but it's probably a significant enough release for Slash fans that I don't think that'll actually matter.
https://www.gibson.com/en-GB/p/Electric-Guitar/Slash-Jessica-Les-Paul-Standard/Honey-Burst-with-Red-BackPersonally I'd just pick up a honeyburst Classic and swap some parts around and that'd be close enough for me if that's the look I was after, albeit no red back and a slimmer neck. Although, I did have a honeyburst Classic and sold it because I couldn't be arsed to replace the PCB harness to make swapping pickups easier...

Wow, they really thought a lot of him didn't they? They sent him a factory second...
And now, that factory second (since refinished in sideboard-brown) is being copied and being sold as a premium guitar. Ironic? Much.
Definitely one for diehard Slash fans - as its a lot of money for a butt-ugly, brown Les Paul with a shitty, mismatched three piece top. I've seen nicer guitars made by Columbus...

But srsly it’s obviously the it’s at the upper end of appropriateness of Slash sig style and likely the one I’d want if I wanted one
I definitely feel the same as @impmann that Jessica was a factory second, so is an ironic signature in the sense that Slash basically proved you don't need the premium stuff to have a good tone or make good music or whatever.
Were it not a signature release, a 3-piece factory second would probably be derided as not good enough and generally inferior.
The Appetite models are Derrig replicas, with Jessica and Stephanie being the guitars that he used when he retired the Derrig from touring duties after that album was released.
