For the world premiere of the new Gibson Custom Shop Adam Jones Les Paul Custom, a special animated short film, "The Witness", was created and scored by Adam and mixed by Joe Barresi. Adam was heavily involved in re-creating the new guitar, working with Gibson’s luthiers in Nashville, TN to ensure the instrument was a clone of his #1 guitar. Utilizing his extensive experience in visual art, special effects and design, Adam Jones is both the director of the majority of Tool’s music videos and creates the visual experience on stage for the band.

The Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom is a limited-edition guitar offering from Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab that exactly recreates Adam’s #1 guitar, his prized original Silverburst 1979 Gibson Les Paul. A limited offering of 79 Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom replicas have been precisely aged by the expert luthiers and craftspeople of the Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab, led by Tom Murphy, then signed and numbered by Adam himself. An additional 179 Adam Jones Les Paul Custom replicas for 2020 feature exclusive silkscreen artwork on the back of the headstock, created by Joyce Su and Adam. The two also collaborated on the design for the custom hardshell guitar cases housing each instrument.

I wish this song was about a month longer

[nicholascausarano]

Am I the only one that wouldn't mind an Adam, Danny, and Justin Instrumental album while MJK is off on his other ventures.

[jessegarcia]

I’m glad this is technically an ad so there are no ads.

[stonedgorija]

This is what MJK must feel every time they give him new music

[cyberdelicxp]

I would not skip any commercials if they were like this.

[TXchadTX]

This would be such a cool way to start a concert

[ToolArchive]

Wow. We got new Tool music and a new Tool video, only a year after Fear Inoculum. And the song is in 7. Thanks Gibson & Tool!

[MrJose]

When the homies come in clutch to write a whole ass song for your guitar announcement 🙌🙌

[darkhand]

Justin came in like a Dark Souls boss...Hard AF

[l.ronhubbard]

Don't be upset that you didn't get the guitar, be happy you got the music!

[labellasongs]

The way Adam can make a simple guitar part with carefully crafted tone sound more epic than most skilled shredders is astonishing. True artistry. Maynard is essential to the Tool project, but I’d pay good money to hear more atmospheric instrumentals from Carey, Jones, and Chancellor. The chemistry and union of these musicians is once in a generation, akin to Zeppelin

[duranimation]

I thought this was just Adam on his own... Then I heard that bass... Justin? Then the drums kicked in, I didn't even need to check 😅

[Nyarlahotep]

Shortest amount of time between any new Tool music, at least one good thing happened in 2020.

[MultiAwesomeboy]

Not the new TOOL music video we asked for, but the one we needed.

[panfrick]

Whenever I listen to the Fear Inoculum album, I start with this as the unofficial prelude.

[errorfound]

When Justin starts playing : :O

When Danny starts playing :

[martin.coronado]

I think I need an Adam Jones' solo album...

[FelixSalazar]

I just watched a 7 minute advertisement for an expensive guitar. I will share this with my friends. I will watch it again. I don't play guitar. Way to go Gibson

[IsilZhaSB]

"There's no way you'd be able to trick me into watching a 7 minute commercial." TOOL: "Challenge accepted."

[lucacarma]

Thanks Adam
Thanks Danny
Thanks Justin
Thank you Gibson
And Thanks Joe Barresi
