Pede nang pang Maalala mo Kaya yaN!!!  

Sayang yung gitara. Pero better just lose the guitar than your life.

[PRSMan]

oo nga pala; before my ibanez craze; i lost a wave of washburn N4's and a custom made lespaul given to me by s. hudson.  

Fill us more with the slash axe. Paano binigay sa iyo? How was he? Story ka naman

alright; alam na ni mark flo to pero here it goes!

i was once a roadie/sound engineer for my step dad's sound reinforcement company and i was under his payroll. We had a gig in chicago years back doing a paulina rubio show. If im not mistaken one of the guys in the crew mentioned "Slash's Snakepit" was in town so i did like any guitar player would do; bail out on my own gig. hehehehehe!

So i did leave and went to Slash's gig. I looked for his manager being that he's good friend's with my step dad and smooth talked my way in; basically bullsh1tt1ng my way in. How hard could it be? Everyone was already drunk hehehe. I stood by the guitar techs area motioning to Slash so he could see me; and then before i know it, he motioned towards me too; and as guitar player what would you do? I grabbed one of his spares and went on stage with him played a heavy @ss version of funky music as a closing song......

After that; brew started pouring some more and as a 19-20'ish year old kid back then, i looked like an awesome specimen. I was already having quite a few when slash decided to give me "balde" sized mug filled with Sam Adams to top. He goes "If you down that muthafucck@, ill let you pick any guitar on the rack, you in?" And of course i was "in" for it.

So i started pounding the mug; and before i know it im pretty much about to hurl on everone's face. so being the smart kid that i was, i "pretended" that i was drinkin non stop. Alam niyo yun? parang lumulunok parin kayo pero nde naman talaga! hehehehe!

I was trying to  breath and get some more air in my system thinkin that im gonna have slash's lespaul at the end of this night. It wasnt really that hard coz their wasted already with beer and something else!

So slam goes the mug; everybody clapping; me trying not barf; it was done! So off we go to the guitar rack with his tech. First i picked one of his tobacco burst guitars because i really liked it and his tech says "pick something else; something gibson really made....how bout this?" ( so i get it that slash's main les pauls are not really gibson? but marked gibson?) He hands me a nice blue AAAAA flame mapled top les paul and he goes like "i think that's a class 5 five paul, take it!"

So before they all changed their minds i bailed out without even saying thanks to slash hehehehehehe.

A year after passed by and i had a motorcycle accident. Broken fingers, hands and a broken heart coz there goes all my N4's including this paul because i had to pay for the bike that i wrecked.    

So there you go folks! One of the guitars that i really regret losing!

galing... what an experience!

Thanks man! I remember going through all the physical therapy for my right hand. It was a painful experience but it probably happened for a reason.

Maalala mo kaya? hehehe; who's gonna play slash's role? hehehehe

His lespaul copy is a guitar made by the late great Tony Zemaitis.
The roadie for sure didnt want you to have that. Its worth a ton of dough.
COOL STORY PRE

DEMMMM!!! nice story bro! nakarecover ka na ba sa injuries mo?

kaya naman pala.  akala ko kung sino lang na gumagawa ng copy!  Slash never recored with the pauls Gibson gave him... only with those two copies plus another paul he bought off a collector that supposedly used to belong to Joe Perry.
