So nice to hear a Les Paul - any Les Paul - demoed in a way that actually reveals the character of the instrument, instead of with roaring distortion. Very tasteful playing. Thank you.
A Les Paul and a good Deluxe Reverb are hard to beat,... the Victoria being a single channel hand wired take on the Deluxe Reverb of course :-) such epic tones... phenomenal rig with a phenomenal player...!! Well done!!
Maybe the best 59 Tone Check on YT! Explored all the positions and classic tones and didn’t over saturated every position with distortion. Listeners could actually HEAR what the guitar sounds like! Well Played by a Master of Technique & Tone!
That's Why I Vintage Gavitt wire with the PIO .022,Bumble Bees with CTS 500k potts wired in the 50s format!😊Nuthin Like it!If ya cant get your hands on a Real 59 Gibson!Wire it up like this Master in Tone!😊❣
I used to set up my stock 70 Superbass/68 Pulsonic Greenback halfstack for a similar crunch, and the rolled down cleans where way better than any Fender-ish 1x12 combo.
What a truly beautiful guitar, that said it takes a truly considered and reserved player to bring out its gems. Throughly heart yearning playing. Beautiful on every level
Wow! Thank you for showing these wonderful clean tones! I often wonder why only a few players show what a Les Paul can also sound like. Love my Goldtop, but this guitar sounds crazy good!
Watch closely how he picks. I got to play a 59 black beauty. And it just gave it to you. It blew my mind. I have a 50th anniversary r9. A 68 reissue 2006 (if you know you know). Great modern les pauls... they dont give it to you.. the real ones humble you cause you worked so hard to play and now you are on a feather bed of tone.
After more than 60 years, despite the technique and technology it is not possible to produce guitars with a similar sound. This proves that man, the craftsman always wins over machines and the damned productivity always sought after (and this is an absolute evil) by guitar manufacturers who spend millions on bulls**t like advertising, inclusion, sociality and less in preparation and support of labor.
I think it has something to do with the wood they used then to the wood they use now…back then they where using old growth hondurian trees and they where old tress like from 1700-1800s ……the wood they use today is much different….. I bet if they had the wood they used back then, the difference in techniques to build them would change nd be different but the sound would be the same is this 59…. But yeah the wood…..
P-90 sounds can remind me of a good PAF Humbucker. There's a bit more clarity and sting than let's say Gibson's 57 Classic Humbuckers, but more noise too.
Picked my ML lightly aged ‘59 up a few weeks ago. What an astonishing instrument. It feels fully played in now and giving out tones exactly like this one (even looks exactly the same - dirty lemon ‘burst). Gibson are most definitely back to the top of their game these days.
Came for the guitar, stayed for the playing.
You came for the guitar daddy
Me too, killer guitarist and well done!
So nice to hear a Les Paul - any Les Paul - demoed in a way that actually reveals the character of the instrument, instead of with roaring distortion. Very tasteful playing. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Exactly- you hear the real tone on cleaner sounds!
A Les Paul and a good Deluxe Reverb are hard to beat,... the Victoria being a single channel hand wired take on the Deluxe Reverb of course :-) such epic tones... phenomenal rig with a phenomenal player...!! Well done!!
No doubt. The PAFs are so versatile.
Agreed I hate distorted tones only demos... and they don't even use actual tube distortion it's all pedal
The most memorable seven minutes of music I've heard in a long time
Always love a mellow player over the flashy shredding. Such a nice dynamic🤘🏼
I’m a simple man. I see Duke in the title and I click on the video. Well done as always, Duke
Fantastic playing! That clean tone is incredible
Thanks a lot!
The emotion of the player amplified so beautifully through this old piece of wood with strings on it. How lucky are we?
Great demo and playing. There’s nothing like em’
Wow, this was some outstanding playing. Absolutely inspiring. A player like him deserves an instrument like this.
Actually, an instrument like this deserves a player like this. It really is just “stuff” & we are the custodians.🤘🏼
best demo of any Gibson LP ever in my opinion
Check out Barrie Cadogan tasteful playing of a burst ua-cam.com/video/PoLDpgBiqpc/v-deo.htmlsi=JWfNsccdkBR_yXCw
Lovely playing 👌
How amazing is it to experience the fantastic playing and sublime tones of such iconic guitars.
Could listen to this all day, what an amazing, tasteful player 🔥
amazing player and sound.
What an absolutely beautiful sounding and well intonated Les Paul,..along with some of the best guitar playing you will ever hear.
Thanks for listening
Excellent tone and playing.
Sure of the smoothest, cleanest,and best playing I’ve heard in quite a while!❤
Glad you like it!
Duke is tops. The guitar is beautiful and his playing would make anything sound great. Just happens to have a stellar guitar as well.
Please keep making videos just like this one!
Will do :)
Amazing playing ✌️🔥👏thanks 🙏
Well now that was just lovely wasn’t it.
Sensational playing. Beautiful sounding & looking ‘59. Great video!
So few in the world, sought by so many. The stradavarious of the electric guitar

Such beautiful playing.
What a beautiful tone !
The tone is magic
Very nice clean tone, duke sure knows his way around a guitar. Bought a collings from this guys demo lol keep it up :)
Cool, thanks!
Masterful playing.
Fantastic!!!!
Glad you like it!
Very nice Duke! Thanks!

What a tasteful player.
One of my favorite tasty players....great tone and touch.
The good ones always make it look easy sound great…Duke did it all on an original Burst! Bad Ass!
Amazing playing Duke! Truly remarkable. I’m trying really hard to figure out how to play the beautiful piece that starts at about 1:19. Any tips ?
Thank you for the clean tone tutorial. To hear the real difference, we have to hear the acoustic and clean sound.
Perfection on all accounts!
I always gets soo inspired by Dukes playing. So tasty and musical. Many of the fastplayers could learn a lesson here :-)
Couldn't agree more!
Great player!
Amazing👍🎸
Very nice...
Awesome organization
Goosebumps....
I used to set up my stock 70 Superbass/68 Pulsonic Greenback halfstack for a similar crunch, and the rolled down cleans where way better than any Fender-ish 1x12 combo.
Very nice !!!1
Many thanks!!
it's sound so nature.mid range warm and chunky❤
Love it ❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing
What a truly beautiful guitar, that said it takes a truly considered and reserved player to bring out its gems. Throughly heart yearning playing. Beautiful on every level
The intonation alone on that bad boy is amazing
Oh that's a beautiful sound. How our brains come up with this stuff is beyond me.
Rockstar cupcake! Yeah!
Does anyone know the name of the song he starts playing @1:18? Damn it's beautiful...
Nice guitar nice playing ... simple as
Good heavens...Yes
Wow! Thank you for showing these wonderful clean tones! I often wonder why only a few players show what a Les Paul can also sound like. Love my Goldtop, but this guitar sounds crazy good!
magnífico!
Nothing like an old 59 to get your creative juices flowing. Too bad that they're six and sometimes seven figures to acquire them.
Wonderful video! May I ask about the pedals? Especially with the Marshall?
Thanks! The Marshall is providing all of the gain on its own. We had a Universal Audio Del-Verb in the chain but didn't use it on this one.
Good God that was satisfying, what a delicious, beautiful sounding guitar 🙏🏻 dose JB know about this Holy Grail 🙈 👍🏻👍🏻
0:50 to 1:10 the sad masterpiece
It's hard to believe that of the 2500 '59 Les Pauls ever made, only 3000 are still around.
I heard it was 3500 out of 2500. :) C'mon though, the guitar does sound good.
The most unoriginal comment I've seen in quite a while.
My kind of...arithmetic..
à 01.19 le morceau est sublime
Anyone know what is the music he starts playing at 1.20 ish ?
Strap button at 2:16 never seen anything like that before, anyone have any ideas of what it is?
that's a leftover from the old style leather strap lock. the screw and washer were left in place after the button was relocated to the heel long ago.
You can go out for a bite to eat, and it'll still be playing!
HA!
Amazing playing! Of course the Guitar looks perfect and legendary!
But i would be nothing with out playing on!
Incredible tone!! What an amazing guitar! Nothing beats a real 59!
Sur que n'importe quel custom shop ne pourrait sonner comme ça même la meilleure..là légende à bien disparue....
Watch closely how he picks. I got to play a 59 black beauty. And it just gave it to you. It blew my mind. I have a 50th anniversary r9. A 68 reissue 2006 (if you know you know).

"Feather bed of tone" may show up in one of our descriptions :)
Woods or pickups or both? Which is its secret and why some original 59 Les Paul sound "average" and others oustanding rectius Bonamassa collectable?
Pretty sure that color top was created by God himself. Absolutely stunning.🤘🏼
Mississippi Queen
Crazy skills, this cat has!
Those videos are GREAT. But too short. They should be 3 hours...
We'll get working on the BURST ASMR series!
@@themusicemporiumboston Wow. That´s gonna be epic.
Got that tele on steroids sound that to me is the great vintage LP sound
How amazing guitar sound! But best amazing is prayers skill. Thanks warm and soft sound. From Japan.
Приятная игра. Жаль, что не было примера звучания гитары в усилитель AC15. Но всё равно. Крайне эстетичное видео
That thing really sang plugged into the Marshall
Very Peter Green-ish playing and tone in the beginning. Really really nice!

allways wondering what is the real sound from a Early Les Paul
What a clean sound!!!! I can’t stop listening!
I also have a 59 (well, a Murphy lab heavy aged) through a Victoria 20112, it’s simply an eargasm!🙌🏽🤩
Picked my ML lightly aged ‘59 up a few weeks ago. What an astonishing instrument. It feels fully played in now and giving out tones exactly like this one (even looks exactly the same - dirty lemon ‘burst). Gibson are most definitely back to the top of their game these days.
GNR. Guitar nerds rule. I’m glad I went down the rabid rabbit hole this morning. Two hours in. skip Spence on now
Bliss
That what the Guit-Box should sound like.
tears straight tears
Less is soooo much more👍
This guitar sold for $450,000! Holy ****!
Uau
Wow, a usable neck pickup!
Beautiful guitar but the playing is even more impressive. He could make a plank sound good.
can't tell apart from my Chibson in terms of sound
Bonus points for saying Chibson
Es esa
Remarkable?! Sounds just like mine 2011 Traditional just looks significant poorer of my Desert Burst?!😅
