Awesome video. Putting the lp under blacklight was a great segment.
that Les Paul turned from red to TV yellow (green) in seconds. so cool to see something like that on guitar of the day
I'd take this over any other lp
I dig strat bodies, but that shape is so much more aesthetically pleasing.
the same for me! For some reason I am very attracted to that body. I don't like the traditional lps but this one has something very aesthetic on it!
F... the bloody neck repair, this guitar is a beauty, and it sounds bloody awesome !
Funny, as I was watching this I was thinking how this would be with Stones stuff cause Keef plays a yellow one of these, and then I thought of The Black Crowes. Then I saw your shirt as you started playing Crowes, and The Stones. I NEED IT!
STP at the end...dude AWESOME🎉
I love any kind of dark red finish on guitars so you have my thumbs up!
As much as I love Teles, I really wish players in the whole newish club country band scene would pick up on this type of guitar. That back pickup does excellent clean twang and spank. Emmylou's guitarist from the 1980s, Frank Reckard, was the only guy I knew of who used a Special or Junior for country and the results were most excellent.
Thank yu Mark and assistant. We know the effort it takes to make these every day for us and we love them... even if most of us cant afford them
YES, STP! You rule Mark!
Loving the BC Remedy on a Tuesday night! And Interstate Love song. And the Stones! Love it all!
I don't know if it's your playing, the amp, or the guitar itself, but that thing has a great voice. It has its own personality.
Remedy and Rocks Off is exactly what I would play on this guitar!!! And boy would this thing be a Remedy for my ears.
2:51 "We'll go to Jen's office, turn out the lights and turn on the black light." Daaayum!
I had a 1960 model and the neck cracked at the joint. Gibson moved the neck pickup about an inch towards the bridge in later models to fix that tendency.
I just picked up a 2006 version of this guitar and it's very nice. It sounds pretty much the same... they cut costs a bit with the faded finish and un-bound neck, but I am digging the guitar.
Mark, thanks for the great playing and consistently stellar song selections, Remedy, Rocks Off, Interstate Love Song, friggin AWESOME!!
The neck to body pocket on these early double-cuts was a weak/problem area for Gibson and repairs around that area are common. Hence, Gibson moved the front P90 back towards the bridge on subsequent models to allow more 'wood' contact at the neck to body joint. A fabulous guitar nonetheless. They were still producing these after the intro of the SG with the Les Paul designation taken off the headstock. No doubt to run out guitars already built after the agreement with Les Paul was terminated!
Man I REALLY DIG those JR'S......and the Specials. Reminds me of the LP Jr ( 67 ) I once owned.......wish I still had it! Anyways LOVE You're Vid's Agnesi, BIG FAN. 🎸💚
owned an original one.......exactly like this back in the 60s also a "59" cherry 335 and a cherry SG Junior
I love when I realize there's a GOTD episode that I've missed. Then it's like two new episodes in one day!
That was cool with the black light I hope to make it up to norms this weekend
THUMBS UP FOR THE STP TUNE!
Which song was by STP man? I'm still trying to work out what the other two were as well.
Max Scardanelli 1: Remedy by The Black Crowes, 2: Rocks Off by The Rolling Stones, 3: Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots.
Max Scardanelli
The last one, Interstate Love Song!
Cool - thanks for the blacklight tip.
This is just before they moved the neck pup nearer to the bridge....because originally the pup was next to the neck which weakened the neck/body joint. Guess that’s why this one ended up being repaired....
love your show thank`s for your time super guitars and a nice guy well explained about the guitars good info .
My dream guitar!
I'm so in love with that Les Paul! I've got a 2000 one, DC, that I adore. But someday, hopefully, I'll get me the real thing!
Or a Collins. Who knows...
Those P-90s sound bloody monsterous.
the best video ever! it's really educating people
The LP Special had problems with the neck/body joint due to the front pu eating up some of the neck tenon. This guitar was make back in the pre guitar stand era. Back then it was common to see guitars with broken headstocks due to falling over and breaking after being leaned up against an amp. It was also common for guitar players of this era to attach their straps to the headstock of guitars (like McCartney does with his Martin). This practice would cause the neck to body joint to fail.
That is too beautiful to be left in a case and not played every day. Gorgeous!
Love these with the high neck PU even though they tend to break there
Jen's office looks magical!
I really like the double cutaway. I wonder if that makes the next week or at the neck joint though weaker. I don't know if it's expensive new ones or if they have these but I really like that heel cutaway I don't know why they didn't do that all this time. and weight relief without all that extra money. and I wonder if since they're blocked if they still come so that you have to level the Frets and all that stuff of course you would have to set it up but you should not have to adjust the frets. I live in a very small town you'd be lucky to ever find a Gibson and that music store. I really like my Melody Maker Les Paul Jr 2003 because it has the intonation. and I like not having a PC board in my guitar. we shall see if they endure the test of time the only good thing about it is you can plug in pickups like anybody can solder it right
lets start a petition........ who wants to hear these guitars through a MARSHALL.......its starting now the "didtch the hotrod " petition I am signature 1...lol
Sounds lovely
fascinating. more like this please
Cool segment. Love that you played Rocks off. Exile on Main Street is killer record front to back. Let me know if you'd like to beta test our VR15 Microphone for your next demo.
I have a video proposal, Les Paul Wednesday? Oh yeah go cubs!
Winning 7-1
I like your honesty.
Great camera work to show Marks playing
Mark's "HEY" at the beginning reminds me of the dude from the Lego City commercials 😂 Also, I wish I had money, because after seeing PUP live, I REALLY want a double cut Les Paul
Never knew the black light was for checking authenticity.good job.
I picked up one of these in the early 80's as my first guitar. Wish I knew what I had. I thought it was the most uncool guitar ever. Banged out a lotta Stones, Who and punk on that thing through a Fender Bronco student amp. Then I gave it away.
This looks like Ric Ocasek's Les Paul that was used for most of the guitar work on Weezer's Blue Album.
Sounds great! Looks similar to my Hamer special. Have any of those in the shop? You should do one of those. They built the boutique guitar market.
Awesome guitar as always Mark!!! I loved the bit with the black-light and how shining it on a vintage guitar shows the wear and tear and if it's has had any repair jobs done to it. It was cool and interesting to know/learn. By the way, what are the songs that you're playing in this video.
It was honest for Mark to show that too :)
Max Scardanelli the first one is remedy by the black cows.
Mark, I'm thinking you may have been in a cover band all through the 90's
Where did you get that jacket from anyway?
It really looks good with that guitar.
Loved you playing rocks off.
love you guys
The early LP specials had a notoriously weak neck joint because the neck pickup was too close to where the neck joined the body. Guarantee that neck joint started to fail and it was removed and re-glued.
Why would it be sprayed where it s at ?
That is where the neck breaks on SG and double cut Les Paul special break right there if they don't break on the Headstock first .
Could you please try to do a Towns Van Zandt cover/medley on flat top Friday? Please please please
I love that guitar, beautiful yup yup
Love to hear the guitar demos through a sweeter amp
Cool tip,thanks
These videos are my Remedy
Killer it does sound, yes indeed
go cubs!!!
Bit of an oddball but I know you guys at least have one, could you do a danelectro?
Love a double cut les paul
Oh boy!
I'm coming al the way from brazil to visit you guys !!
lets go cubs
Sweet
I always thought that if they reissued it with humbuckers it would be a great shred guitar and a great seller.
Dakota Duarte p90s are better that humbuckers man
i dont know if they are or they are not better, i just prefer humbuckers, cheers
Did that year/model have neck joint issues?
Wow that just might be my dream guitar. What exactly is the difference between a studio and a special?
Ramkix Vincent studios are modern era, specials have been made since the 50's. You'll normally find neck binding on a special but not on a studio and neither will have body binding.
@letartslive......what do you mean "adjust the frets" on what guitars do you adjust the frets?
awesome :) but one question why does Jen have a black light in her office? lol
soulassasin10 anyone who deals in vintage guitars will have a black light, if they don't then they are amateurs. Best way to see a repaired headstock crack is under a black light and when something like that effectively halves its value to the collector market then a dealer would be insane to buy anything without black lighting it first.
That body wood is a dream.
dear father Xmas Fucking pretty please give that guitar....nice playing fella from Scotland 😀
Look like Keith is playing it for you
Y’know I think it’s remarkably apropos that the Keith on his shirt glows under a black light, seeing as how the real life article definitely does...
HELL - THAT GUITAR IS GOING TO ROCK IT TO HELL AND BACK
nice shirt
Who killed that bird out on your window sill?
How come we didn't get to see Jen?
What are the songs what you're playing? 7:13!! OMG What is that??
What kind of wood was the fretboard made of on old specials and jr's?
Jonny Beck brazillian rosewood
price?
there's a chicagomusicexchange video where they also featured a les paul double-cut and also played that STP song. did the guitarist from STP play one of these or is it just a coinkidink?
Dude! You made my day! A dear long-gone friend of mine used to say co-ink-e-dink a lot, but I haven't heard it used in years. Thanks for dredging up some good memories!
Patrick Fitzgerald haha happy to help, Patrick! :)
Darrien Day Dean DeLeo from STP recorded the riff & rhythm tracks from Interstate Love Song on a Telecaster and Les Paul for the rest. Whilst he mainly used a humbucker equipped Les Paul live he did occasionally use a P90 equipped Les Paul Special single cutaway
And I've never heard that word but now two people here know about it. Pretty neat!
Darrien Day yep
Still think it's gonna happen tonight?
I keep thinking he's gonna bang the head stick on the shelf behind him lol cringe
Lol I was waiting for that too
Not a fan of LP specials usually but this is sexy.
keith‼️
At least he used the tone knob this time.
Daddy's home
Sorry Mark, "CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!!!"
WTF! No Tele?
Crows, Stones & STP!
Matthew Paluch shut the fuck up
I miss mark
Do a Flying V
W
Cost $$ ?
g&l broadcaster please.
I would never had thought to mention that particular model but it sure is a good idea. Would probably be a very, very long shot for Norm's to ever have one of them on hand, though.
doesnt look good for Cleveland cusb up 7-0
IT'S A DUD
what song is 7:11
scptt Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots off their 1994 second album "Purple"
RIP Scott Weiland :(
