    Joey plugged in this incredibly clean 1958 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop and immediately the pure PAF tone started pouring from the amp. This guitar has ver minor checking, all original finish and hardware. There are many burst era Les Paul that stand above the rest, this is one of them!
    We plugged this guitar into a 1952 Fender Deluxe www.cartervinta...
    We mic'd the amp with a Cascade Fat Head and the room with a MV88 mic by Shure. No eq'ing was done in post, we wanted it to sound like you were sitting in the room hearing this for yourself. Listen with high quality headphones for the full effect!

    Wow, such an epic tone!! This is the closest thing I've heard to tonal perfection in a long time - the guitar, amp, Joey's playing, the audio quality...it's all right there. Awesome job!! If I ever win the lottery, I'm catching the next flight to Nashville!!
    Joey's reaction at 3:21 says it all...pretty sure he's thinking, "If only I had $135K lying around..."

      Joey sounds like this everytime he plays his own rig. The amp he is playing on is nothing special. And he gets the same tone out of his own Les Paul. Its how he plays. He is a musical genius.

    2:54 til the end. That is what classic PAF tone is all about to me. Amazing clarity with subtle overtones and bloom. Echoes of ZZ Top's first album, Beano, live cream, At Fillmore East, etc. Thank you for the outstanding video. Made my morning.

    Joey is just phenomenal, and the fact that he always play open tuning, adds difficulties but a very different outcome in terms of sound, intonation and sustain. Really one of today's masters. Thanks for the video and the amazing goldie.

    • @valarinan7723
      @valarinan7723 7 років тому +3

      The implication here seems to be that the Les Paul doesn't have subtleties of its own to show when playing subtle music. Suffice to say that I disagree on an astronomical scale.

    • @valarinan7723
      @valarinan7723 7 років тому +2

      Probably the greatest Les Paul tone of all time came from a certain namesake of yours on "Just Got Back From Baby's", 1971 - through a Fender amp, just like here. Go check out how of much of a Nugentian stadium rocker that was, if you have to.

      "Gibbons," between that gorgeous Fiddy-eight, actual music being played, the little tweed Fender, and that guy's hands, everything you need to know about vintage Lesters and PAF's is right there. Right, there. The Reverend would heartily approve of this demo, I have no doubt. To characterize this as "(a) really weak demo" is to out yourself as having cloth ears. Punch play at 2:15. Take notes. Get back to us when you get it.

      Gibbons the les pauls were referred to as fretless wonders fir there ease at doing fast runs up and down the neck,they sucked for rock the first few production yrs, jimmy page's #2, was only a keeper for him after a refret they suck for bends,and sales tanked,thus they were discontinued in late '60,rockets in mid sixties loved only after most got a refret,uffda

The 1955 Strat demo I worked out because it has some amazing fretting behind the slide ideas and I also transcribed the 1961 SG demo. I might look into posting a link to those soon as well.

    Not actually a LP Standard. Any '50s Goldtop is a 'Les Paul Model' guitar, the Sunburst Standard came around later in 1958 (the majority of '58s were PAF goldtops I'm sure I read.)
