The Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar Blog

No…the recording isn’t perfect, No…the guitar playing isn’t perfect. I hope I have honored the tradition of Gibson guitars and Mesa Boogie Amps. Above those…I really hope in some way that I have honored the Blues as well by playing and recording this.

This is the SECOND Video of the series of videos made by me recently at the Dallas Guitar Show 2010. Vintage and new Guitars and Amps included in this one and some very nice Gibson Les Paul 59 reisssues.

Theres a whole section towards the end of the video on a 1953 Gold Top Gibson Les Paul - signed by Les twice. Also some custom PRS Guitars and even some Hellecasters stuff. Signed Dimebag guitar on show…

You can see many of the prices which the guitars were offered at the show. Mostly negotiable but I did see the odd one with no price - a Les Paul 59 at over $300,000! its all in these videos!

PLEASE RATE these Videos! Thanks…

Just a quick demo of my Laney TF200. Not a bad amp, and plenty loud enough for pub gigs, just not a good one either. The distortion channel is probably the best, as the overdrive channel is too fizzy for my tastes. Reverb is quite impressive, and the delay settings can be useful. If you get it at the right price, not bad, but the Marshall Valvestate are better, in my opinion, although they’re not great either. I have sold mine on, now. To be fiar, I am comparing it with some top end valve amps I have owned and used in the past. I used a budget Vintage Les Paul copy as this is the type of guitar that is going to be used with it.
