Joe bonamasa dude...

and fretwire cleaner

could not agree more Davide!

Coolio! enjoy!

Think you mean 58, not sure they made Goldtops in 59. Great guitar anyway, enjoy mate !

They arent. They are instruments.

The PG burst didn’t play really well, when I played it at a guitar show. Hard guitar to play m.

My pops worked at Gibson back in the 50’s (Kalamazoo) I look at these and just wonder did he work on them? Did he test them? He is gone now, I close my eyes and listen I can still hear him play his Les Paul. It was a gold top. Color doesn’t matter much only the sound of the music that resonates from amps. Turn it up a little bit!

The new 50s,60s reissue standards is a step in the right direction!

I just got a VOS ‘64 335 from Gibson custom. It’s a damn fine instrument. My old man has his original ‘65 335. Besides the obvious age and shit I can hardly tell the difference. I find that people that complain about Gibson just can’t save up the money to get one. It’s a lot of resentment and jealousy.

THE NUMBERS THAT FOLLOW THIS $$$$$ ARE A LOT BIGGER FOR THESE 3 GUITARS, THOUGH YOUR COMMENT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE MUSICALLY IN THE END THERE IS NO ONE INCLUDING YOU WHO WOULD TURN ONE DOWN.

For sure, but they were made with certain materials and in a certain way that basically no one is doing today, and even if you had one made with the same materials and construction, you wouldn't be able to replicate the way the finish, woods, glue, electronics and hardware have aged that really effects the sound heavily. It's all personal taste an what you want to play and hear though.

I know the big differences among the 3 guitars: AMP SETTINGS

very true!

You could ask the guys who originally made them to tell you. Many could till be alive today.

Hi Paul, thanks for watching, more great stuff coming soon.

He makes a good point there though. Hope you didn't miss it. There wasn't anything else that was close to the late 50's burst that they could buy back then. Now, we're spoiled. The only reason to buy an original 59 burst now is to 1. brag 2. hang on your wall.

Investment?

Not anymore. Too late in the game.

Thanks!

They would have if not for norlin, cursed be his name

Ole's Music I'm sure you are joking, but for this who might not know what what that device is (visible next to his right ear at 0:15), it's most probably a hearing device called BAHA (Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid). If you have absolutely zero hearing in an ear due to an injury, surgery or birth defect, a traditional electronic hearing aid won't do anything because there's nothing there to receive the hearing aid's amplified sound. The Baha is an amplifier that conducts sound through the bone of the skull.

@@anthonyc1883 No one needed to know that.

@@avivkestin7103 Dear Mr. Spokesperson for Everyone: A potentially mocking---or at least, ignorant---comment was made and it needs to be corrected. And there might also be people who are wondering what that device is.

@@anthonyc1883 There are millions of ignorant comments online. You writing a paragraph won't change anything. Stop trying to act like a saint

@@avivkestin7103 A saint, what a laugh. Then consider it just friendly information for anyone who might wonder, even someone who might not comment. But regardless, why would what I wrote motivate you to take even two seconds out of your life to comment on?? Just move on! I'm done.

Thanks for watching, Phil is going to be doing some session with us over the next few months.

We would love to see your burst too!

Hi Lee, Thanks for watching. We love Les Pauls here at BRG's.

something about your first real love!

most possibly for a lot more than 100k - sadly we would should all have a chance to play a good one!

Thanks for watching, more from Phil at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZuglZCbsZvTgoE.html

And which kind of music was intended to be played on them? I really hope that I won't hear any of that music anymore.

A 57 Les Paul comes with PAF's as well if you have a spare £75k or P90's for around £40k, or a single coil Les Paul custom at around £45k. Watch our 52 and 54 Gold Top review here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8uAn8adtbGceJ8.html

Hi Mel, lucky boy! wonderful guitars.

Not to mention the early ‘58 Goldtops...

You're not wrong, they are lovely old guitars. thanks for watching.

We can try to find out from Phil, not sure think it might have been direct?

Simon Reilly Lazy J20/40

Phil uses a lazy J with the red lazy J booster

Sorry, can't help he was in the band at the show.

Rob Chevalley you could say that about anything that people collect “No Pokémon card is worth $10,000” “No baseball card is worth a $10,000” “No bottle of wine is worth $1000” Etc

You are mistaken, as evidenced by the fact that this guitar IS worth that kind of money. The price point is not determined by their sound but in fact by supply and demand.

Couldn’t be more wrong..

There weren't that many standards made from 58 to 1960

@@lovesgibson The made up mysticism behind old LP's is more like claiming no car drives better than a '67 mustang. The metal used in the doors was forged in siberia and aged 12 months so no other steel today is stronger, the radio was made out of military grade surplus parts so it's better than new radios today could ever be, this mustang was used by a famous guy in a movie so that means it drives faster cuz it just has somethin special to it. If collectors would just admit they like old stuff and feel a sense of pride acquiring rare things that's fine but it gets irritating when people claim they actually sound or play any better than a guitar you could buy new today for a 10th the price. Making it "not worth it" to the people who are not easily fooled into placing higher perceived value on something based on marketing and superstition.

Only a year late, but he's playing his own take on Gary Moore's 'Midnight Blues'.

Apparently joe bonamassa knows where it is

@@julienpregent4397 He thinks that he knows everything... He’s an authority on everything! Did I just take a chip out of the Golden boy? Let’s face it, he’s becoming a blow hard. Save your comments, I don’t care..

Phil uses Lazy J Amps - www.lazyjprojects.com

Not sure, I think like Phil you would have needed to play a few of them to make that judgement. For me they all sound very different - depending who is playing them.

probablt they have diffrent specs and humbuckers on them

At least...

Around that figure, plus - depending on the condition and if the top is highly figured or not, and of course how it plays.

Hi Pete, thanks for watching..I think there would be a big queue in the US. More from Phil Harris and his collection on tonight live show 6.30pm BST.

we know how you feel!

Hi Chad, Nothing wrong with the 52's - 56's LP's - we all love the early goldtops with the p90's and the late 57's with PAF's, but they are not LP Standards. I don't think Gibson understood at the time what they were making, until the likes of Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Mck Taylor and Paul Kossoff started to use them. We have some great footage coming soon comparing the 59's with modern day replicas.
