What Are Friends For??? - The Unintentional Creation of the'59 Gibson Les Paul Stage Guitar:

According to luthier Roman Rist, the middle Les Paul replica here is Slash's first from luthier Kris Derrig—the one Rist says Slash used on the tail end of Appetite for Destruction. The guitar on the right was built by Peter "Max" Baranet. The instrument on the left is purportedly Slash's second Derrig model. Photo courtesy of Roman Rist
 
Our bandleader has a new 2017 Gibson Firebird and a 1970's era sparkle top Gibson Les Paul. Our second lead guitar has a 1976 Gibson Les Paul Tobacco Burst, and I alternate between my black Les Paul Custom and my '59 Replica, so we got a pretty cool looking stage show...

every string change i re set the guitar up, prefer to move in small increments over a long time. Yesterday first movement ever on the 6 month 2020 SG Special, 1/4 on truss & a very small lowering of bridge. I move in such small movements that the its done while guitar is in tune. They all hold tune very well. Was never in a hurry to move the guitar much until i knew its role in the arsenal. What tuning it was going to be..what action. that type stuff.
