Comments on: New Slash Les Paul in the Works, New Pickups http://www.woodytone.com/2009/09/08/new-slash-les-paul-in-the-works/ WoodyTone = ToneWoody Tue, 15 May 2012 21:37:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jason http://www.woodytone.com/2009/09/08/new-slash-les-paul-in-the-works/comment-page-1/#comment-534 Jason Thu, 18 Feb 2010 02:28:42 +0000 http://www.woodytone.com/?p=1119#comment-534 I really doubt the person telling the story on the gear page link you posted. There has been lots of debate about Kris and the guitars he built. I say this mainly because he didn't even know how to spell Kris's name, it is spelled with a K. Kris also built more than 3 Les Paul replicas. The Derrig that Slash owns did originally come with Alnico Pro II's also, the man that owned the music store that Kris was working out of told Kris to install those pick-ups. You can find alot of debate/info here: <a href="http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/other-les-pauls/830-slash-derrig-vs-max-afd-period.html" target="_blank">http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/other-les-pauls/8...</a> I of course didn't know Kris at all and I won't claim to either, I have just researched this alot. Slash is by no means my favorite guitar player but I love the Derrig replica guitar and I am really looking forward to the new Appetite LP. There is also a webpage that a real friend of Kris' made, google Kris Derrig and it will come up, lots of cool pics there. Anyways thought I would just throw that info out there.

There were two models, one VOS and one Aged. And why is Andy Brauer cropped out of his own pic with Slash? A couple of things on the previous Slash models:
