Vintage 1956 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty Teaser Demo
Here’s a great condition 1956 Gibson Les Paul Custom (Black Beauty) which I will be posting for sale soon on eBay. It is not perfect as it did get played but it is way cleaner than I’ve ever seen for one of these. Note the California “Cal” Girl pink lined case in the backround. From what I gather there were less than 500 of these made that year and less than 1000 total of this model ever made between the prototypes in 1953 until the end of 1956 (they changed to Humbucking pickups in 1957). Send me a message (through my channel page link…just click on my name or avatar) if you are interested. Most of this demo was with played on the “Burn” channel of my Fender Super Sonic amp and I vary the amount of gain (distortion) by changing the amp settings…I start with everything set at 5 (except the volume which was about 3) and then increase everthing as the video goes on and also by “playing” dynamics (how hard I hit the strings) and with the volume and tone controls on the guitar…when I say “treble” position, I mean “bridge” and when I say “bass” position, I mean “neck”. I play it clean at the very end to show that off as well…this guitar is awesome!
I sell lots of used guitars and basses (both here and on eBay…same name there…100% positive feedback) and I’m a dealer for the Mbrace stands and also Thomastik-Infeld strings. Let me know if there is something you want/write me if you’re interested…use the send a message link on my channel page.
Also…Guitars Wanted as I’m always looking for more guitars…I buy/sell/trade ‘em.
The guitar is plugged straight into my same old rig (no effects at all)…a Fender Super Sonic combo with an Avatar 2×12 all loaded with 12″ Hellatone 30’s. Any other questions, just ask…

Improv with the Line 6 M9 looper. Just searching for hooks, so my rhythm is off. This is how many song ideas begin. While Les Pauls are known for rock, here’s proof they can sound great clean as well.

This is a first attempt to get close to the Edge sound with a gear totally different from his. He’s known to use clean Fender Stratocaster + Vox AC30 to get cristal and bright tones, so the overdrive mode. I use my Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty 3, with a Gibson Jimmy Page BurstBucker in the bridge, modded Marshall jcm600 in clean/overdrive modes, Boss DD-6 and crybaby wha. Something totally different! Anyway, the result is interesting. I use also very light strings (I’m a JP addicted) and picked them with the pick upside down to get a more “twangy” effect. I’ve always loved u2 and the edge sound since I was a boy and this video-pictures is a sort of homage to another guitar mith
Song played (with many errors!):
Bad

The Fly
Bullet the blue sky
Beautiful Day (riff from verse)
