I remember watching this video when I was 16 just dreaming about that tone. Still one of the greatest guitar tone I ever heard.

I come back to this video every so often and i never stop loving it.

The clean tone is so bad ass.

Same here!

its nice to see someone who actually has a guitar like that and knows how to play it like it should be

I could listen to this guy play all day...

the neck pickup around 1:40 is just simply amazing, that tone is perfect.

It's great to see that someone who has one of these fine instruments actually plays it

Hard to believe that this cleane tone comes out of humbuckers.... The best Ive heard.

this is why i think the custom models its just amazing

WOW..THE HOLY GRAIL OF GUITARS FOR SURE..!!!.YOU CAN TELL THATS NO RE-ISSUE SIMPLY BY THE TONE..GOOD LORD THAT THING SINGS!!

Anyone thats loving the tone, its the pedal. As lovelly as the playing an the guitar is, that stunning clean an overdrive is the bluesbox. Not the amp, an not the guitar. Got one after 10 years looking after watching this vid. its fricken amazing

Nice to see gear like that in the right hands, sensational playing!

this is one of the best sounding les paul clips on youtube..

The definition in the bass notes is so nicw. It is very warm and clear.

9 years of my comments. i was watching this when it first came out, but that was before i ever had a youtube account. i still appreciate this video, as much as i did the first time i heard it.

@@featherinthewind333 i got to play a '59, 3 pickup, bigsby. let me say, it sang too. just like this. really gave you more control than you thought was possible with guitars. unbelievable control. you see how light his fingers look? the one i played had it's original frets too. its because you honestly need less pressure than even i can get from a custom fret job of my own. and i'm basically a savant at fret work. i learned that fret wire material isn't the same. but playing the real thing really taught me how and what to approach to keep this real and true guitar quality alive.

@@featherinthewind333i got play a 1959 black beauty. Bigsby too. 3 pickups. It just sung. You didnt have to try. It just gave it to you. Was incredible. You see how light and effortless he is ? Thats because these guitars are just right there. You dont need to force them. Unlike modern guitars.

the best sounding les pual ive ever heard actually pretty much the best guitar ive ever heard

that is the most beautiful clean tone ive ever heard

seriously.. thats one of the best tones I've heard on youtube...

LOVE that little walking bass line part. VERY COOL!!!

how many years has it been now? i keep stopping by every once in a while to still appreciate this video. my original comment is somewhere down there from 13 years ago i think and since then, i have gotten to play a real black beauty. 59, 3 pickup, bigsby. was just a dream. n offered exactly what you hear here. same case too.

Les Paul would be proud of you... great plying on a wonderful guitar!

finally a guy that know how to play his vintage les paul the way it deserves to .

great jazz and blues playing in this video. Beautiful guitar!

its been years since i listened to this but its just as beautiful as the first time

seriously you are the guy that i saw that deserves the most his 59 les paul ... wow

This is tone worthy of awards

man ur playing is sublime...if only i had a quarter of ur talent

Beautiful. I have a 1971 Les Paul Custom that I purchased in 1978 and I will NEVER part with it. I could end up living on the streets and the guitar would go with me. Thanks for the great post.

What a pleasure to see such a beautiful sounding old guitar in the hands of someone who can actually play & who clearly enjoys it, and that it's not just sitting in its case gathering dust in the hands of some talentless & soul-less collector. These guitars were made to be played - gorgeous tone & lovely playing - my respects! Rich

Fantastic guitar and tones, Fantastic guitarist ! Absolutetely the top !

Wonderful playing... Sublime. Bags of tone. Thank you.

100% right. I like metal and blues. I play and appreciate both equally.

You are probably the finest unknown guitarist that I've heard and seen on You Tube. You do the guitar justice. Great Man!!!! play on....

I got this guitar, just in Epiphone, and...I've never heard a better Les Paul before. And now I hear this?!?!?! This is the most wonderful sound from a guitar with humbuckers! The best LP ever!

Beautiful. The guitar and the playing.

everything that was played on a 1959 les paul automaticly became AWESOME! not even knowing it was a les paul....listen much to ZZ Top, Free,Peter Green when i was not so young xD i'm 15

Normally I would say you are so lucky to have this guitar, but you sir deserve i, every little bit of it, absolutely beautiful playing

That Guitar Is so Awesome! The Black Beauty What an Awesome Name

that has got to be one the sickest sounding pauls ive ever heard

this is the best tone in a guitar that i have heard. ever.

Nice and lovely guitar ... and what a sound

I've just spent the last hour drooling over my guitar teacher's Black Beauty. I want one!

its so refreshing when someone plays something mellow clean and bluesy, I hate all this distortion eruption play as fast as you can bad sounding videos. This is lovley great guitar and great playing. I myself just purchased a les paul gibson custom black beauty black with gold 2 pickups MP inlays gold locking nuts. I love it.

Great sounding guitar! In fact, this is the best sounding Custom I've ever heard. And great playing, too!

Guitars are like houses..When you walk into one with history and soul you feel it. The energy that has gone through that guitar is residual and it has a certain vibe and history..Hard to explain to someone who might not know otherwise.

that tone and definition from a humbucker is unreal, excellent playign as well, that is a beautiful instrument

You truly deserve this guitar, your playing is amazing.

Took my breath away and left me SPEECHLESS! Fantastic Brother!!!

Beautiful specimen of a guitar and a beautiful job playing it. Thank you Frank, I love to listen to you play. Wunderbar!

Beautiful! Finally a real guitar player on youtube! not one of those teenage metal heads.

possibly the best player/guitar/amp combo i've ever seen. amazing stuff!

When all other electric guitar clips and vignettes fail, this is go to clip, Excellent guitar played by an excellent guitarist

Stunning playing, a great pure tone and beautifully put together!

If 6 was 9. Thats a freakin awesome name man. Great Hendrix song. Great playin too

best clean tone i've ever heard on youtube.

Love the patina and binding on that Custom..! Anyone doesn't like the look, buy a new one..!

Beautiful tone and great playing.

haven't listened to this in years, but it's still amazing to enjoy.

WOW!!!! Now that's GREAT tone..

Imagine if all Gibsons had that kind of clarity!

dang the tone is freaking amazing

my all time dream guitar !

That playing style is perfect for demoing a guitar like the les paul

That is literally the best tone I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. God, I want that guitar!

Beautiful playing and tone !! Makes me have to go play too ~! Thanks ~!

Stunning...best tone and all around sound on youtube.

Wow - superb playing! Stunning sound and a great mix of styles - fantastic

PS 'old' guitars often do seem to function at some higher level. But it's nice to see an owner really 'connect' to an instrument like this. It's not in a collector vault somewhere, because this man is making it sing. He KNOWS this guitar intimately as a PLAYER INSTRUMENT, and it's not just an investment object he's afraid of. That's the way it should be.

I liked that little funky thing you did but the blues thing it sounds AWESOME good job

Sounds great, no mud or murk👍 Nice playing too♥️👍

That was seriously incredible. Great job

I love it, what a nice warm sound!

Wonderful guitar sound ... Thank you

Really enjoyed hearing you play. Thank you for posting. changed my perspective on triple pickup Les Pauls

such a beautiful tone....

You wouldn't believe how much I wish I had guitar like this. I had several gibson guitars, but these vintage pieces are amazing. I'm one guitar guy and this would fit exactly my playing. New custom shop reissues don't sound the same. Don't ever sell it, keep recording and make us - less fortunate - happy.

that's the ultimate jazz machine, this, my kids is what was les paul meant to be.

I love this guitar, the model les paul is awsome

Just bought a new epiphone black beauty & Im still a learner! Love it too death and you play great. If I play half as good as you I'll be happy. I may play badly but I look good doing it! Lol

best sound from an electric guitar ive ever heard

great sounding guitar and great player

my dream guitar right there....

Great jazz playing, loved it... oh and the guitar is cool, of course! thanks for posting
