Re: Slash / Boston Sound
That dark red with cream, gold works perfect IMO. If it were firetruck red, probably not.
Though my problem (minor problem) is when it looks great with the gold hardware, but still stuck with the silver strings/frets.

Re: Slash / Boston Sound
Looks like a few +1's for the Dimarzio ... hmm ... maybe I'll need to get another guitar and do both.
Actually, got some wood coming in from a local sawmill. Plan to build a Seraph... similar to a Les Paul, maybe I'll "Boston" that guitar and "Slash" the Agile.

Re: Slash / Boston Sound
I’ve never tried the Slash model. But I can see liking a slightly hotter bridge pickup.

That was a very popular pickup back in the day. Everyone used them on everything from hard rock (Ace Frehley) to jazz fusion (Al Dimeola).
Very versatile too if you do the dual sound wiring.

Re: Slash / Boston Sound
I'd suggest the A2P neck paired with the signature Slash bridge.
I like the Slash bridge pickup, and part of my spec for my CS bridge pickup included the notion of overwinding that model - the neck version overpowers its bridge counterpart too much for my liking, so the idea started out as giving the bridge bigger balls to compete. I couldn't get away from feeling that the neck position was too OTT for my tastes, and that the A2P is a much better neck fit

Re: Slash / Boston Sound
FWIW I would bias the guitar towards getting Slash sounds naturally (e.g. A2P variant pickups) and rely on amp and outboard processing to get the Boston sound.
