Just checked with Mark at OX4.
Dan's pickups are low wind with Alnico 4 magnets.
He responds very quickly. I will enjoy doing business with him.

I've been to the Chicago music exchange. As a European who's used to tiny guitar shops with a hand full of Gibsons, CME is heaven.

Probably one of the best sounding lp neck pickup clean tones ever. Congrats on owning such a sweet Les Paul!

This is the first Les Paul that I actually thought sounded really really good. So much life and warmth in it. Congratulations on finally finding it!

I can so relate to this video....I must have tried and owned numerous Les Pauls until i played a friend's Les Paul from the 70's and realized what I had been missing all along....a GREAT Les Paul...so that led me to the Custom Shop journey; I tried quite a few custom shops and they were defintely a cut above the standards but still I didn't have that magical bonding moment and then finally I picked up this 2016 R9 VOS in bourbanburst and I knew right away upon feeling the neck and playing it that it was mine. You really have to try a bunch of them to know what is right and what is not. This was about 3-4 years ago and I'm still rocking it.

As an LP player, one of the many things I love about your show is the way that you demo pretty much everything through this beast. It always seems to me that the majority of YT pedal demos are done on strats.

Own many LP’s and recently bought an 07’ R8… has an amazing/magical tone I’ve never heard before. It plays itself. My favorite guitar ever.

[sjlacey]

Despite Youtube/streaming shortcomings, yoo get the life and tone of your guitars and rigs to come through loud and clear.
You should become the engineers and producers for the current age - an ear for tone for the current distribution outlets.
Fantastic work and thanks to you both.

Those clean tones in particular are absolutely magical.

The opening tones in this video are absolutely thunderous. Fantastic.

Best change I've ever made to any of my Historic Les Pauls has been to put in True Vintage Taper pots and quality PIO caps. Really opens up the tone and gives you so much more variance in the volume and tone controls. I would recommend it to anybody that owns a Les Paul.

Just bought a set of OX4 Low Winds - excited to hear them!

[VitorDuzarte]

Can i live inside that studio? So many great toys! Wonderful guitar Dan!

[musicmann]

I've got a lemonburst custom shop les paul standard too, and I love it. While it's head and shoulders above the non custom shop models, it's not in the same class as the 58's and 59's. I can't imagine how fantastic yours is to play! She's a beauty!!

[zakmichael]

It’s a 2001 from the serial number. Looks and sounds great. Love the show! Cheers

Paul Stacey is one hell of a player! saw him and his brother play with Scott McKeon at a pub in Christchurch at the start of the year. Great guitar that. low output pickups on that sound amazing!

[tommykaira]

first time I hear such a sweet clean Les Paul sound.

[yugen]

I wish I you guys would do more videos like this.

[mattraino]

I agree- best looking Les Paul, color is great and seems a bit less glossy. Fantastic tone too- nice playing there Dan.

I generally dislike the flame tops on most LPs but that finish is really cool.
