Chattanooga, TN – The Pulse:

Slash’s Hunter Burst Les Paul guitar is up for auction, with a minimum bid of $1 million.

It’s the same guitar, he played at live performances and recording sessions with Guns N’ Roses in 1985-86. He sold it after that and it has since been on display at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

The auction house pointed out that the band wrote “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Sweet Child o’ Mine,” and “Paradise City” during that time span.

Bidding is open for the next two weeks.
