Original '56 Goldtop & '58 'Burst demo

Michael Ross of London's Seven Decades stage show, which uses original vintage guitars to tell the story of rock, on two highlights from the show's collection of guitars: a '56 Les Paul Goldtop and '58 "burst

Wow, a '58 burst with some cherry red that hasn't faded.

[ThomasWilliamsMusik]

More like '56 Middle-aged man mouth demo.

[j.tcarden]

He's running it into that Champ, what a tone! just like EC on the Layla sessions

[davidshaw]

I wonder if when he's alone, he just sits there in a room holding the guitar and talking incessantly to no one.

[TheScottCard]

What is the signal chain at 5:35? I'm not sure how much YouTube alters the sound from the room but that 10 seconds of the 58 with slight overdrive is THE tone!

[rokit]

He’s managed to make a 58 burst boring….how do you even do that?

[ImOnlyFakingIt]

Was this recorded straight through the champ? Any reverb added?

[jeremiahmountain]

I just keep staring at that plexi in the back

[johnsmith-dghv]

Beauty guitars, what amp was used near the end of the video ? Very nice. Tone!

[davidallen]

Nothing beats a vintage tone of PAF humbuker in a real Gibson vintage burst Les Paul guitar.

[fretboarder]

a 58 i played was the best burst among 59s and a 60 too..

[pharmerdavid]

People obsess on old guitars, but new guitars sound and play just as good, or better, so wtf? Tone comes from the hands and heart, not the instruments, although it's nice to have good quality instruments, old or new..

[kaputme]

People bitching about not too much play and too much talk are just insane. Youtube compressed sound will give you all the Mojo you want to hear ! right guys?
Some times a story has more meaning than just endless noodling through Youtube.

[Koneriasurasen]

You should change the title. Very clickbaity

[bigdaddypapawoowoo]

I am holding a 1958 LesPaul for my missing friend. I think it’s a 58 based on what I was told when he borrowed 1000.00 from me. I’ve been hesitant to sell it but it’s been 20 years and I need college money for my daughter.

[moimeme]

I'll take one of each of these guitars

[claudiocruzat]

Id like to see those guitars plugged into to a 15 watt squier amp... jajaa all the job is done by THAT AMP!! . You never see this videos with old strats or les pauls along your trusty 15 watt cheap amp.

[wooddog]

Not much playing at all, mostly just talk. Very disappointed.

[decidedfob]

Lucky enough... Rich enough he wanted to say...

[BlindTom]

10 minutes of talk, 10 seconds of playing. Boo...
