I think Pat has just talked more in the last hour than he has in the last 14 years! Welcome back gents

always a good day when Doug & Pat are back .... & it's extra good .... back twice !

Whoa, a new Doug and Pat episode. Hit pause and grab a cup of coffee, and savor it…and I really mean the show. Love you guys.

I woke this morning with no idea it was going to be such a great day. Thanks for all the content Guys.

The world 🌎 just got better with a new Pat and Doug show .🙏

I always enjoy the Doug and Pat show: it's excellent. Best guitar show ever.

Like a shaft of light.. .boom! Thank you!

1:18 - 1:55 is PURE GOLD! That TOTALLY needed to be said!

What a site for sore old eyes! Thanks for coming back guy's.

Great show. Love you guys! I have had the privilege of playing a few '59 bursts owned by friends like Greg Martin, Gordon Kennedy, Ed King. Billy G told me I could play PG when he brings it to his home here in Nashville again. I am most interested in playing them unplugged. I think most of the sound "magic" comes from the pickups and this is why they can all sound so drastically different. Very inconsistent winding from coil to coil creates the clarity. We were playing Gordon Kennedy's "Sebastian Burst" here in the shop one day thru my Vox. Gordon and I were in the other room buffing picks for him and Chris was playing the guitar in the middle position. Gordon said "Ya know, if I didn't know what guitar that was, I would swear it was a Telecaster". He was right. Sounded just like one! Greg Martin says "The sound we are hearing is the unpotted pickups trying to feed back under the covers". I think he was right too. Personally, I think the best sounding LP ever recorded is Fogarty's black custom on Grapevine. That is the tone I have always compared a LP to. And that guitar is not even the proper scale length due to the broken neck when he bought it. It was also, of course tuned down a whole step. BTW, we made a LP guitar here a few years back. Only did 21 frets and pushed the neck pickup forwards to where the 22 fret would normally be. Jim DeCola from Gibson played it and said "Now, this is how a neck pickup SHOULD sound". We also pushed the bridge pickup 1/2" forward as well. It just may be the best sounding guitar I own. It is a bolt-on (not glued in) roasted maple neck with maple fretboard. Popular body covered on the front and back with acrylic. Red and blue swirly acrylic. Henceforth the name "The Bowling Ball". Anyway, so great to see you guys back. Love your show.

What a pleasant surprise at the end of my vacation. Sitting with a coffee getting set to enjoy 2 riveting hours of entertainment - Hope Pat makes it through the whole 2 hours of part one and two. Don't die on us Pat. Thanks Gents

The ES355 into that Henry amp is a thing of beauty. WOW!!!!

Hi guys! Glad to see you're back! About PAF humbucker replicas: They have to be wound on a machine (like a Leesona 102 winding machine) to get the tone right. I don't know if all the boutique PAF humbucker makers possess such winding machines...I once asked Dave Stephens (of SD Pickups) why can't the character of a PAF be reached when it's hand wound? And his answer was: "...Hand winding is death to PAF tone. Hand winding is what Leo Fender used because random winds LIMIT the high treble peak frequencies. And that is why he did that, to diminish harshness in single coil pickups. Perfect automated winding as USED BY GIBSON NOW AND THEN, creates a peak treble frequency that humbuckers NEED, or they become too BLAND. The amount of ferrous steels in humbuckers needs the help of a perfectly aligned winding pattern to cut through what the ferrous components cut OFF. Hand winding is for single coils ONLY. Gibson NEVER hand wound anything in their entire history. I did hundreds of winding patterns with a CNC winding traverse I built to test this all out. Gibson didn't invent some "magic" winding pattern. The PAF winding pattern is BY THE BOOK that came with their winding machines. The equation is simply using MEASURED Outside Diameter of the wire used, versus the SPACE TO FILL on the bobbin. Each wind is calculated for the wire diameter and how many winds to FILL THE SPACE. It's that simple..."

How do you guys not have 1 million subscriptions lol you guys are awesome. The fact that I absolutely love the subjects is icing on the cake.

These all sound great, but I think I liked the sound of the '58 best. Just awesome! Thanks guys!

Thanks Doug and Pat, I listened to Pat,s 1960 Les Paul burst through H. Phones. What a beautiful sound. Now I know why musicians love these instruments. Keep up the good work . Excellent.

Man! A new Doug and Pat episode x2! You guys evidently have no idea how much your KZfaq fans love your shows. It seems like we have to wait months and years for a new episode. The boomer guitar community, an ever decreasing demographic, just wishes for one more episode before we are “Knocking on Heaven’s Door.” C’mon guys, old people get grumpy and impatient, ya know. Love your humor. Love your content. Love your show - when we can get one. 🤣🤪🤣

Ready for the Bukovac chat gents!

😂😂😂 I’m sitting here listening to Pats story, and I’m imagining Pat back then as Pat now. Walking around and playing gigs and shit in the ‘70’s looking like he does now. It’s quite amusing!!lol

Great to see you folks back online. You just made my day.

Great show, Pat's guitar is a beauty! Love it.

So nice to have you both back!!!!!!

I'll bet the person who wrote the long email about being the only person who winds the PAFs correctly is Dave Stephens from SD designs

You Guys are Great! God Bless You! WooF!

So happy you guys are back. Great video.

More words of wisdom than a thousand other videos about the PAF sound. Time for you two guys to created the PAD pickup. As in Pat and Doug pick me up.

Pete Flynn wins this episode. Holy cow those sound marvelous.

Made my day. Great to see you again. One of the best guitar channels by far! You guys, Buk and Trapp got your shit together. Need more content from you guys. Great show.

I was so happy to see you guys back with a new video. Thank you!

so glad you guys are back!

Great to see you guys back. Great show. I’ll be looking at some Murray pickups for sure.

Yes!! Finally!! Don't go away so long from now on.... Please 😊 The world needs and I would love to see Doug n Pat/ Uncle Larry; Episode/Episodes: Think Tank.. Get Together... PowWow.. THAT would be a 'perfect storm '!! Much respect

You have to be supercool to pull off the pipe and velvet blazer combo 👍

Love the both of you and all your shows! As always, Doug your playing is always great and a perfect vehicle to test out the sounds you can coax out of each guitar. I listen using my hearing aids” what!” That have a great frequency response. I’d love to be in the room to truly appreciate the tones coming out of the speaker. Thanks gents!✌️❤️

Great to see you guys back, and glad you’re still enjoying the SRT+!! Much love as always!

I am convinced that the ‘59 LP became so famous because there were no aftermarket parts to be had. If one wanted a different sound, one would trade one’s whole guitar. Little by little the rock guys figured the later ‘50s guitars had more output (edge & sustain) than the earlier ones. This was IMHO due to the 42 gauge wire tolerance getting a little worse each year (thicker) and more A5 magnets being used. The famous guys had ‘59s therefore everybody wanted one too. That myth lives on to this day.

I bought a new les paul tabacco sunburst/Norlin, in late 76 for 300.00 without case, just so you get a price factor. I got a used 68 Custom in about 78 for 300.00 with case, yellow interior.

Love the show guys! I have been fortunate enough to have played 4 Bursts. One was phenomenal, two were very good, one was a dog. Which ironically had the best top (1960) NONE and I mean NONE of them sounded like they should have cost more than my house at the time! Also, although not as pretty, my 1952 Gold Top really holds its own. I am just like everyone else. I love Bursts and I have and have owned several reissues, I just dont see why the are astronomically priced. Some are great, not all. Even if I won the lottery, I think Id look for a 57 or 58 Goldtop. Not as many counterfeits. I am sure they are starting to be but too much of a risk buying a Burst. Rant over. Love Bursts and your show, Brian

Doug and Pat are both incredibly handsome gentleman and I am so happy they are back.

So the first set, the low winds, are A2 magnets in both pick ups. The second set has A5 magnets in both pick ups.

Love your show. Made my day you put out a new episode

Great to see you guys again! Love the old pics of you guys rockin' out in the 70's. Can you name some of the songs from your set lists from back then?

Love you guys keep it up. I could watch this kind of stuff all day

What a wonderful way to start my Friday! Nice to see you handsome fellars!

Can’t wait for this upcoming bukovac episode!

IMO the popularity and rise of the PAF equipped Les Paul can all be linked back to Clapton and the release of the Beano Album in 1966. Up until that albums release no one had used a PAF Les Paul to such devastating effect, as Eric masterfully demonstrated what that guitar was capable of sonically. It's NO coincidence that shortly after the albums release many of our guitar hero's such as Bloomfield, Peter Green, Beck, Kossoff, and others took notice and acquired PAF equipped les Paul's for themselves.

Priceless content as usual

Wow those two ol lespauls were magic..The 60 burst Jane sounded great..Oskar sounded great both different but similar…The replica pickups sounded good..But at the end of the days they are pickups…The guitar they are installed in is a big part..

Thank you for this wonderful upload chaps! ❤ Five Bursts on Pat's couch in the basement? Mind blown 😮 Love the very pronounced note bloom on the sustained notes. Even (to a slightly lesser degree) on the Auzzie pups.

Love these guys. So.... COOOL.

This is a brilliant hour of info and fun . Keep up the entertainment !

Man...I can see why Oscar is the #1...its got a bit more of a gainier growl than Jane. Just glorious. So glad to see you guys again!!!

Hell Yes. Good to see you SIRS.

The boys are back in town! 1. Pat interview - pure gold gents, enjoyed it very much. And as an '07 R7 owner, the one you had in this video is very familiar... a little darker than the old wood real deal.... but I had a double take seeing my guitar in Doug's hands.

You guys always cover great topics. Thanks

It can't get any better. There's something good in all those guitars.

I am so happy that there’s 2 new ones. Hope you are both well

Doug, your playing brings out the PAF in those Paul's

Great to see you back gents

Great...the lads are back! Hey guys, nice to see ya.

Sitting in the casino.hotel room watching my favorite pair on a Friday not gambling saving my money for a new les Paul great info and playing as always thanks fellas

Thank God for Doug and Pat... all these other you tubers explaining PAFS and old Pauls and never played them. So much false info out there. Glad you two are back.

What!!! a all original early 1960 burst is part of this show and a 1958 Goldtop? Hell yeah i am watching it!🤘

Great show glad to see you back!!!

Good to see you gents back. Almost one year 👍🏼 when we did those supros! Love those Lester’s but I almost prefer the 355 ✌️

Those burst buckers, are great pickup.

Nice chat guys. Good to see the show up and running again. By the way, George Benson is great. He is the first shredder even as a young player.

The Aussie, does a mighty fine job with the PAF.desigen.

Great to see and hear you again Doug. Hope you and Molly are doing well out west -Mac

Yes! so glad you did a new show. Great stuff and informative as always. Ahh, the mythical PAF rabbit hole.

Love you guys! More please.

Started to worry about you guys. Silent for months. Glad to see a couple new videos. Ive watched that P90 shootout video about 1000 times.

God bless you guys!!!

Love the classic pic of the boys from back in the day. Ever wonder what song they are bombing it too. Maybe Warrior by Wishbone Ash...or maybe Fool for the City? How about some Dickey and Duane, maybe One Way Out?

The 5 and 59 both sound similar but there is a difference. There is great clarity in both. I think more high end on the 58. Don't forget old PAF vs new. Keep that in mind. New is always fresher. and those guitars are old and the pick ups in the 59/60 are very old.

In my opinion Doug, the Les Pauls are doctors and lawyers guitars. Beat and played to death pre CBS fenders, that is where its truly at. Great to see you two gentlemen back.

I love your show. It would be great if you could get Paul Reed Smith on he show to talk about guitars…. I also want to recommend CMG guitars (Chris Mitchell guitars) I have one with Buzztone PAF 57 in and I think it’s a great rig…

I once heard a 63 335, through a tweed champ it was physically totally wheel of fire, hellfire. The most explosive thing I have ever heard.

I was so excited that here was a new D@P Show.! I thought the ES355 sounded amazing!

I bought a marshall super lead in the late 70's and it was just too damn loud for the clubs. 100 watts of loud if you wanted to get the crunch. I rapidly learned my place and settled on a deluxe reverb as my club amp and with the help of pedals I played every damn thing pretty well and had a great sound. I had unique sound that nobody else had. I was not that great of a lead player but a damn good rhythm player because I was learning from people who were older than me and mentoring me. I could carry a band as a single guitartist but I grew up playing in two guitar bands with harmony guitar parts that we learned well. Yoh don't need even a half stack marshall to play. a 50 watt head and 2x12 cab is more than enough for a huge club.

Hi guys, nice to see you again and say that I stuck doug and pat stickers on all my reissue guitars to get that 50s guitar sound.😁

Excellent!

the ones with “curly” tops 😁 always great to hear P & D’s expertise! hope all is well lads

Yes...More Doug and Pat Content!

In 1968 I was going to boarding school in San Diego. I would check out the pawn shops. One place I would go in had a Goldtop and a Burst. I asked him how much they were, he said "The Gold one is $300.00 and the Sunburst is $400.00" I was already into Mayall, Cream, Mick Taylor, etc.

Doug and Pat posts are almost as rare as that Vox.

Doug’s Marshall pointed right at the (now deaf) drummer’s head.

You guys are a snl skit for real lol LOVE IT

@16.40 look closely at Bloomfield's burst the treble binding is missing from about the 8th fret up Clapton's neck pick up has 2 or 3 bobbins screws missing !! Dave from SD pickups tuned me in on that information!

The clone is ok but that Vox is something special.

Do you have to keep a defribulator on hand for Pat..? Is he deep..? Is he awake..? Hahaha ❤❤

Pat is spot on with the appearance

Well Oscar has the more prototypical earlier PAF tone to my ears. The tone is huskier and when sustaining bent notes turns (kinda folds over) into a more appealing vocal tone quality. I can tell you that, (reading remotely, which is doable for me) the energetic structures in Oscar (and the 335) are more optimized than in Jane and which accounts for maybe 50% of that difference. Those energetic structures can be brought to more optimum performance btw, improving the tone. How these PAF's came to vary like this is a more esoteric topic.

I went opposite Duncan SuperDustortipn It fvkkn rocked at the tine

While I love these guys and their content, I have to say that all the love extended to George Gruhn simply eludes me. I went to Nashville in the spring of '84 with a wad of $1200 in my pocket, looking to find my dream guitar, and his shop was my first stop. I had to ask him three times before he deigned to acknowledge my existence, and even then, he was extremely rude and brusque toward me. I could see a guitar hanging on the wall with a price tag that didn't seem too far off to me, but he acted as though it was completely out of my reach. I can take a hint, so I left, drove up to Louisville and found what I wanted in a pawn shop there. I have to assume that Mr. Gruhn treats the stars a bit better than he treated me that day.

I have a vague recollection of a Worthington LP that happened to be in the shot during a past episode. I’m acquainted with Seelig and Worthington here in St. Louis. It’s one of six, right? I’d like to know more.

you guys ever hear of Kent Armstrong? Dan Armstrong,s son and pickup Guru . Tremendous

Great vid guys. Forgive me if I missed it, but what pots were in the R7? I see you mentioned VIP, their 550k pots really open up the top end particularly on the neck pickup . Love that ‘60! 😍

that's tiger stripe maple finish ? very beautiful (/¡!*!😍🎸✨🤩⚡👩‍🎤✨🔸

Yes keiths, had a Bigsby, but he was also on the hoddamn ,ed,Sullivan show.Brian had the pre,production vox, and Keith's casino.
