@Marco Caracciolo Yes, I agree. I much preferred Mark Agnesi. It’s always Van Halen with Lemmo. And I love Van Halen, but when you hear it almost every GOTD it gets real boring.
That's a 2013, which was a big year for historics - Hide glue, correct fretboard inlays and correct binding material/color. They also went back to one-piece fretboards after the gov't raid left them using laminated boards in 2012.
Yep, you can tell right away by the logo on the backplate of the switch cavity. And then by the inlays (shattered glass instead of the swirly pattern) and no pinkish plastic parts anymore...
@@rv6205 no one can answer this question for you. R6 R7 R8 will always have a bigger chunkier neck compared to a 60s model. Its personal preference. In my experience with Custom Shop guitars, some are thicker, and heavier, than others. Being you have smaller hands, you may appreciate the Les Paul Classic. They are very nice! and not as expensive as a Custom shop.
All them details are just right... I wish I could afford it... but then again, I've so many wonderful guitars, and each one with it's own character and spirit and, as I listen to Michael plunk I recall the many MANY times I'd wished Mark would demo a' la CLEAN so I could hear the real deal here
Thing sounds like it has 7s on it. Love that finish though. When somebody asks why anyone thinks real Gibsons are worth more, show them this video. For all the tone!
Google the case candy? Are there many Les Paul/AC30 combinations as classic sounds? Ramble On is one of those happy places…especially on an old 30’s Gibson LOO. Something about the cut brightness and swing!
Kenny, this was so righteous, I save this video, and sat down got a Smirnoff Ice Shamash and just chill to the good vibes, Hay he the led out🙌🎊👏🥳🎉🍻🥃🍺🥃🍻
Lemmo the Wizard Lizard, you never cease to deliver, the greatest of all time, hi to his partner in crime......whoooo hoooo Jen the lense master. Blessings and love from the Kruger Park in South Africa.🤗🤗
I love Lemmo when he rocks - much better than all that pretty stuff with the looper. Oh, and more Gibson please - you have done jazz masters to death. 🎸
Nice demo! Great playing, great guitar. To get that variety of tones out of a Deluxe Reverb, you must have been using an overdrive/distortion pedal(?). Please confirm. Thanks!
Lemmo just keeps exceeding expectations with these Gotd's recently. His playing is so underrated. He's good enough to play with the greats but he chooses Norms. Says something about him, and about Norms.
Hey Michael, We'd love to hear that same R8 through an old Marshall, like back to back with the Fender. I.'m not criticizing but you seem to be stuck on the Fender amps. At least do a comparison.....shakin' up the play book might wake your shake up.....do love ya' man.....
I must be the only one who can't stand the tone of that hotrod! Fantastic playing by Lemmo -as always :) -and guitar, but the distortion always sounds too fuzzy and muddy to me... Fender makes some kick ass amps but something has always sounded off to me about this one
mmm no, this one shouldn't go for more than 3.5 grand, maybe 3.75 for the flames. if anyone asks for more, even in todays disgusting market you should ask for a solid discount.
Didn't care for the neck pickup by itself. It sounded really muddy to me. The other two positions made up for it, though. Could have been the amp settings, I guess.
Gimme that phone I got to talk to you baby, Set the record straight 'Cause this relationship is goin' from love to hate You're always trying to make me do things that are really dumb And we're always disagreein' on how to have fun And you know I don't want what you want I want what I want Well, You look like a yuppie and that's too bad Yeah, It used to be funny but now it's sad And your friends are all stupid and they talk too much And I'd feel a lot better stayin' out of touch 'Cause you know I don't want what you want I want what I want You can say goodbye to me honey You can say goodbye to my money Well I'm sittin' here callin' from Tennessee And I've been jammin' with my buddies like I ought to be And it feels real good bein' on my own And I don't mind leaving you as dry as bone And you know I don't want what you want I want what I want You still there? Well it's all over, It's just too late And I'm so glad we're livin' in different states You know I said it all before like I knew I should But you got nothin' in your head but a block of wood And you know I don't want what you want I want what I want And you know I don't want what you want I want what I want And you know I don't want what you want I want what I want
1. Slither- Velvet Revolver
2. Ramble On- Led Zeppelin
3. On Fire- Van Halen
Fantastic guitar. Even better musician.
Thanks, I didnt know who did #1 👍
I love les pauls...Lemo is a beast of a guitar player...
Lemmo never disappoints doesn’t matter what guitar you put in his hands.

@@7enderbender87 nylon nut too
Are R8 2017 not good year?
This is the best rock Lemmo has ever done on Norm's guitar. This is a keeper. Thanks !
That guitar sounds amazing
Despite.
I’m normally not a Les Paul fan, but that sounds amazing
What are you into??
@@6cuerdas41 prob a strat guy
Ohhh. Cool....have you ever played a prs
@@6cuerdas41 I’m a Strat girl
I have a 2013 R8, looks and sounds a lot like this one. Just a shame I can't play it like Lemmo does!
Is the neck huge on it . I have small hands , would an R8 work for me ? Thanks

a' la CLEAN so I could hear the real deal here
So this is from not that long ago, the guitar I mean.
It looks vintage as hell. Sounds amazing. (neck pick up didn’t sound too hot mind)
I have a 2001 R8 with a very similar top. Amazing instrument. One I’ll never sell or trade.
Incredible. Lemmo you just get better and better man!
Oh man, pulling out the Velvet Revolver tomorrow 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
You can tell by the plaque on the back that it’s a 2013, the old reissues didn’t do the plaques. Also the frets should help, as well as the tuners

Forget about always name dropping Bonamassa. Lemmo is the man
Sweet Les Paul 👌 And Lemmo makes it sound awesome👍
I love Michael 's shirt!
Lemmo knocks it outta the park!
Great job guys!!!
Methinks Lemmo hit his stride on that old VH
That's great Mike. Has anyone seen the Premier Guitar interview with Tommy Shaw. Gibson needs to get that rock icon a custom shop firebird.
I saw it he said he had been waiting years on one. Shame on Gibson! Hope he gets one soon!
Sounds awesome all around but the bridge humbucker is RAUNCHY! Very nice!
based on the switch cavity badge, it's a 2013 for sure. the overall appearance (flame, colors) is also a 2013+ look.
In addition to several other things 😄😄😄
Dude !!!!!! Great Job!!!!
Kenny, this was so righteous, I save this video, and sat down got a Smirnoff Ice Shamash and just chill to the good vibes, Hay he the led out🙌🎊👏🥳🎉🍻🥃🍺🥃🍻
I look forward to Straturdays but this was Far better than any Strat
Like to see you play through an old gibson amp
Awesome playing and Xlnt sounding guitar.
Thing sounds wicked!!!
Lemmo the Wizard Lizard, you never cease to deliver, the greatest of all time, hi to his partner in crime......whoooo hoooo Jen the lense master.
Blessings and love from the Kruger Park in South Africa.🤗🤗
Please A/B thru a Marshall versus Fender Amps!!
Great 'Ramble On' ! I suggest checking out the cover by the "Lexington Lab Band". They do a cover that Led Zeppelin would be proud of!
That’s a awesome looking and sounds awesome guitar looks brain new
WoW , that sounds great and Lemmo wow .
Rock on!
You rocked Slither !! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nice Mikey!👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥
Wow that was great.
Lemmo's demos have never been better. Fut gn A!
I love Lemmo when he rocks - much better than all that pretty stuff with the looper. Oh, and more Gibson please - you have done jazz masters to death. 🎸
I like EVERYTHING he does. So original.
Nice demo! Great playing, great guitar. To get that variety of tones out of a Deluxe Reverb, you must have been using an overdrive/distortion pedal(?). Please confirm. Thanks!
It’s all in the phalanges!
Damn fine show Lemmo

Awesome!
Is there a difference between an R8 and a standard 1958 reissue??
It's a 2013 judging by the decal
Hey Michael,
We'd love to hear that same R8 through an old Marshall, like back to back with the Fender. I.'m not criticizing but you seem to be stuck on the Fender amps. At least do a comparison.....shakin' up the play book might wake your shake up.....do love ya' man.....
You can never go wrong with a Fender but you are right; just for the variety. Voxes would be cool too.
when in doubt, check the potentiometer date codes...
👍
Woo eee !! Do you think Lemmo bonded with that Beast...?
💙
666eme pouce 😬😬😬, c’est la première fois pour mois 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Check the pots for date codes
Badass
Velvet Revolver?
We'll let it side for today 😂
I must be the only one who can't stand the tone of that hotrod! Fantastic playing by Lemmo -as always :) -and guitar, but the distortion always sounds too fuzzy and muddy to me... Fender makes some kick ass amps but something has always sounded off to me about this one
Slither…. 🤟🤟🤟
Bro, demo that BF Super Reverb next time!
Nice
I really r - 8 Lemmos playing...
0:20 and just like that Lemmo lost his future brand ambassador position at fender
🤘🎸👊💨
Ramble on was good only thing missing was some chunka chunka
Most likely a 2013 and not a 2003.
Agree
The backplate with the logo
I smashed a like on this video
Not an 03 case and medallion is the give away … ‘13
2013
It may not be a Strat but it is a hell of a Les Paul! What a way to end the week! However! Gotta do a Maton!
Lemmo The Looper 😁
Unbelievable guitar!....probly 8- 10 grand
mmm no, this one shouldn't go for more than 3.5 grand, maybe 3.75 for the flames. if anyone asks for more, even in todays disgusting market you should ask for a solid discount.
Would have been nice to hear some Nazareth played on this monster!
the year?? 😮😮 so many obvious signs
2013 sounds right
how the heck did you guys lose 10 years
What is the name of the dude before Lemmon ,I know the name I just can’t rebentar now
Before Lemmo? ... you thinking of Mark Agnesi?
@@MrTexasDan Mark had a catalogue! And touch for days. A real player.
Gru.
Holy PaZuZu.
Woo
Didn't care for the neck pickup by itself. It sounded really muddy to me. The other two positions made up for it, though. Could have been the amp settings, I guess.
The excess of reverb wasn't helping anything either.
Maybe lessons are in order! Lol
I have bad OCD. If I'm dropping 5K+ on a guitar, I wanna know it's birth date.
Gimme that phone I got to talk to you baby, Set the record straight
'Cause this relationship is goin' from love to hate
You're always trying to make me do things that are really dumb
And we're always disagreein' on how to have fun
And you know I don't want what you want
I want what I want
Well, You look like a yuppie and that's too bad
Yeah, It used to be funny but now it's sad
And your friends are all stupid and they talk too much
And I'd feel a lot better stayin' out of touch
'Cause you know I don't want what you want
I want what I want
You can say goodbye to me honey
You can say goodbye to my money
Well I'm sittin' here callin' from Tennessee
And I've been jammin' with my buddies like I ought to be
And it feels real good bein' on my own
And I don't mind leaving you as dry as bone
And you know I don't want what you want
I want what I want You still there?
Well it's all over, It's just too late

Gibson Customer Service can give you the model year. Not sure if Murphy Lab existed in 2003….
He wasn’t saying it was a Murphy Lab. It’s just a plain old Custom Shop. Murphy lab started in 2021.
Slither
Why doesn't he ever use marshall amps???
? Right
Why? Mark never did. .
He do one time with a black Beauty LP
ua-cam.com/video/k2EmUXOEPfk/v-deo.html
YA HOOO gag reflex
“LP”.
Its a 2013
Completely original? Does it have the chip from the pickguard hardware? Haahahha!
Thats a 2013
Bronto rock.......as in brontosaurus 🦕
Sounds like lemming just broke up with his girlfriend......
Lol..that was funny
When I listen to Lemmo I realise how important metronomic timing is.....and how sloppy, sloppy playing sounds
Lemmo gets latched again....!
the guitar looks heavy and thick..
Get a haircut, Lemmo!
Worst demo of an R8 I’ve ever heard, terrible , good grief man
