yea man totally
I missed Joel's demos, they're my favorite cme vids by far
This is the standard for all demos, no exceptions
Joel&Les Paul means great demo.
It is an absolute treat to hear Joel play guitar. Loved this demo!
That neck pickup on clean at the end was breathtaking! Great to see another longer video from CME again.
So awesome to have Joel back!!
LOVE the Gang of Youths on vinyl in the back. Saw them over the weekend at the metro. It was AMAZING
Holy shit this might be the greatest Les Paul I've seen on this channel yet! There's something about the way it perfectly aged that gives it this undeniable charm.
Great and awesome to have Joel and the Black Beauty back! I love Les Paul’s and Joel's playing - the holy grail of guitarland. Nobody does it better!
So glad Joel did this demo, he always does old Gibson’s right!
The middle position sounds so well, i really like it
Joel is the only guy on KZread that doesn't bore me with demos, I could listen to him play all day
The riffs your playing have such a Soundgarden vibe to them, beautiful black beauty also :)
John Marshall was a badass, I assume.

What a great demo from joel as usual.. I bought a strat off him in maybe 2016. I was in chicago for my gfs work trip and visited cme on a whim.. best store ever..great guy
That tone! Wow! There is just something soooo special about a good PAF... and these are good (love that middle position).
Thank you for using the Bigsby!
Excellent guitar overview. Totally awesome!!
Beautiful playing!
Sounds amazing
The moment I saw Joel in the thumbnail I immediately exited my last video to pull this up

i never understand why people get all bent out of shape when things like faulty wiring or solder is changed. it’s a good thing to fix these
Beautiful playing - Joel could make a hundred-dollar knockoff sound divine.

John Marshall is now that guitar's name.
Amazing guitar.

A thing of beauty,
Joel, you outdid yourself this time! First, it’s good seeing you do another vintage demo! Second, this is now my new favorite demo of yours behind the B3 Phoenix you did in 2013. Killer demo for a beautiful guitar, I enjoyed every second of it. Keep the demos coming!

@@tyleranderson9190 Great demo too. The way the pickups and the amp create that harmonic feedback is something I've never heard before. Those Tone King amps alone sound incredible, but Joel probably knows the secret to get the most out of those amps.
Fine as hell
3 PU Black Beauty with Bigsby; does it get even better than this? Great demo!
Must have.
Damn. I didn't realize that the middle-bridge position on the 3-pup custom was out of phase. That is nuts.
Dudes, The Band Royale is sick.
cool bleep! i concur!
So if you roll the tone all the way off in the middle position of a 3 pickup Custom, you get a really interesting sound that I frequently compare to Jay Grayden's tone in "Peg" by Steely Dan.
5:52 "Because I just like Amps that sound good" Don't we all Joel, don't we all....🤣🤣
Wooooooo
Just now seeing this 5 year old video. Incredible guitar! Wonder why he had it tuned to D.
jimmy page was used it when LedZepp live at Royal Albert Hall
HAVE MERCY! My brother bought a 57 triple CS Reissue about a month ago. Oddly, he is too busy to ship it so far.
Nice demo. What's the control layout like? 2 vol / 2 tone or 3 vol / 1 tone?
Well that's a super cool piece - although the stop tail holes are there and the bigsby is slightly off axis - so not a "factory bigsby" but super wicked axe - and he plays it like it looks - dark and dirty but cool as hollywood.
Hello friends! given your incredible knowledge of these tools, can I ask you which product do you use to polish it? my black beauty of 73. when I pass the damp cloth it immediately becomes dull and hazy gray, it's horrible. I do not know what to do. thank you so much!! sorry my english translated by google Paolo, Italy
mayyy favorittteeee
how do make neck and middle, bridge and neck, just bridge and all 3?
*I came here after Watching Bocchi The Rock*
BOCCHIIII！！！！！！
Should've colored it with a fuzz though, it would've sounded even MORE badass than it already does!
wow 12lbs, as much as i love customs that's too heavy for me, have to say though joel has done the best black beauty demos

Hello CME! Today is my 24th birthday. If you'd be so kind, send this black beauty to: Snow Street 7, 4513 Freezeville, North Pole, Norway. ❤️ As always your videos are better than candy. ;)
Very beautiful guitar, how much is it, I want it
Oooooze!!!! Sustain...
If the Bigsby is stock then why does it has the holes for the stoptail?
@joelbauman852
5 жыл бұрын
Plenty of examples of this, on same-era Standards as well. Depends on whether the guitar was ordered and built from scratch as a Bigsby model or if they just grabbed one that was already drilled and put the Bigsby on it. This one had black plastic plugs in the stoptail holes that shrunk and fell out eventually. 335's/345's/355's would get that cool "Custom Made" plaque to cover up the same unused bushing holes.

Nice video. Neck pickup sounds weirdly too dark.
Is it detuned?
That's the way a Les Paul should sound.
Vos finish ?
"works best with a little bit of ... overdrive" alright dude thanks for the tip
Collector grade?... A gorgeous instrument regardless, but when you've got a whole chunk of exposed mahogany on the back side of the headstock, that's a lot closer to 'player grade', no? >Great playing too. Will have to dig back for some more Joel.
@joelbauman852
5 жыл бұрын
Generally "player grade" would imply either serious structural repair or refin work, either of which would generally halve the value thus making it "player grade" because the price was a lot closer to what players could afford, in theory (though I don't know many "players" that have $25-30k sitting around to spend). No breaks, repairs, mods, original PUPs, case, etc. means it's a price not many non-collectors can afford. Museum piece though? Definitely not. Just a killer "no issue" vintage LP.

@@joelbauman852 fair enough. It's all quite academic from where I'm sitting but I had wondered where this distinction gets drawn. Let's hope the next collector plays it like they mean it too!
I'd rather have one of those than a burst.
I wonder if John Marshall used a Marshall amp. No need for a custom nameplate...
i hardened a little
Good god, that high e looks like it in pain.
Great sounding Les Paul. Why do the customs sound so "powerful"? Ebony fretboard adds low end and presence (IMHO). I thought maybe it had to do with the Mahogany top but I think that was only the 57, wasn't it? The later years were Maple like a standard? But this one sounds amazing.

12lbs? How about an ES version with f-holes? That should be so much lighter.. Digging the look btw
Jesus that tone......literally porn.....I would sleep with that guitar and eventually marry it.
Intonation works tho the bridge/string points are all identical?? Odd ?? School me please. Regardless, I'd have to be dead & in my grave to have given up this gent.
There was really one true Black Beauty from what I understand the times three Black Beauty was made for the man himself, Les Paul, the rest are just replicas they are not the true Les Paul Black Beauty times three, there was only one.
The fact that it's been re-fretted was completely overlooked. That would have a considerable impact on it's value. And, you really need to lose the distortion.
Hi Jimmy Kimmel
Also as far as I am concerned the only true Les Paul was made for the Man himself Les Paul , the rest are all replicas made bye Gibson that carry his name, Think about it like get real .
Offer 1k. Not original and bad shape also headstock partialy broken.
