Gilby Clarke is an underrated guitarist and above all an underrated songwriter. His playing style maintains the classic spirit of 70's Hard Rock in his composition. He and Izzy Stradlin are definitely very underrated.

Gilby looks like he does not get old at all! I would say he still looks like in '92 when he was playing with GNR.

Glad your back Gibson

Great story

Gilby's story is hella romantic. It has that mythic rock and roll feel to it.

Great story. Very cool. Reminds me of that movie " The Red Violin". Thanks for sharing Gilby!

Welcome back Gibson! Another great upload with a story. My guitar picked me too.

I remember that guitar well. Glad to see you and it are still playing together!

I had '79 'The SG' and just sold it to buy a '17 SG Standard. I did not think I would ever sell 'ANGUS' (Walnut body/Ebony Fret-Board)......a Real MONSTER ! That is till I picked up the 2017 SG Standard. I was surprised, the 2017 Standard is an all round better guitar.

I remember the first time I picked up a Les Paul, back in the early 80s when I was just starting to learn guitar. It belonged to a friend's dad and up until that point, I had only held junkie guitars. It was this amazing combination of elegance and power that just stuck with me. Anyway, I'm really enjoying these videos here... just wish Gibson would mix more guitar playing into it :)

I had a '77 Deluxe with the mini-humbuckers. They screamed! Too hot actually, bad for feedback. The tone was still pure Les Paul though. Anyone who took them out like this only did it for the look.

I madly love and respect you Gilby.

There is a certain reverence that comes with saying”My Les Paul”. No wonder Jimmy Page, Peter Green, Bloomfield, Jeff Beck, Gary Moore, Phil Keaggy, Neal Schon, John McLaghlin, Neil Young, Al DiMeola, Zappa, Freddie King, Robert Fripp and Santana played them.

Love that worn in look on a Les Paul!

Gilby is still the man.

"It's still my first Gibson." How many first Gibsons can you have?

My first Gibson was pretty special. I was 16 in 1986. It was a 1955 Southern Jumbo. Cost $1100 NZD saved up from my paper run money and then my apprentice wages. Had quite a few since. Current one is a 1997 Les Paul Studio. It was intended to be a stepping stone to replacing ones I had sold. But I ended up sticking with the Studio because it has such a good tone. I always like to have a Strat around too, because they have a sound a Gibson does not do. They hardly get played, so i always end up selling them for the next gear purchase. Next one will be a Squire so I do not get tempted to sell it due to infrequent use. One that somebody has maintained frets on and modded etc. I like SGs too and want to check out the new original series ones. Will have to wait. Just woke up and my active studio monitors are crapped out. Transformers I think. No juice. Listening thru AKG phones and only the right side is working. Annoying because my amp does not have a cab. I do the load box to DAW thing. Is going to take some time because I am laid up getting treatment for busted up spine and I am not going to be able to go back to my old job they say. The SG will have to wait. Next year maybe. Pissed off, but that's life. If it was easy we would live forever.

What a great story

You gotta love this guy, checking that it wasn’t stolen. Fair play.

Wow that’s awesome he still has it. Love Les Pauls🔥🙌

Thats whats up rock on

I totally had the same experience with the Gibson's neck but not on my first Les Paul, unfortunately. My first LP is a Les Paul Classic 1960. It has a slim neck. I didn't realize that it was too much of a problem until I purchased a couple of 2014 Gibsons, and LPJ and SGJ. The necks on both are PERFECT .... more of a 50s profile I guess?

My first guitar was a 1975 or 76 standard Les Paul tobacco burst. My parents got it for me for 400 bucks when i first started playing in 1980. Thanks mom and dad. The guy was also selling a white custom les paul for 500 bucks but he didnt really want to sell it. I really wanted that white one, as it sounded better. Snotty kid i was. Now I'm an old asshole but i can play a mean guitar...

Gilby is my guitar hero and will always continue to learn from him ... A true guitar legend!

I'd like to hear a similar story from Izzy as well.

Mr. Clarke maybe the guy knew your situation and knew you loved playing guitar, & wanted to spread some love.

Same as mine except mine’s a Custom. Love it....and I’m quite happy with the original pick ups and set up so don’t want to change it!

Man! A great guitar with a great story, and one that has been played as these guitars should. I do have to say, I'd have loved to hear that thing with the original P90's 🙂😉👌🙂👍

Its in beautiful condition you really took care of it good job and this video was awesome thanks guys

When's the book coming out, would be some classic gunners stories.

So cool! I still have my first LP copy and my first real LP. It was many years before I could afford to get a real Gibson. I think it’s true how guitars find you!!!

Great Stuff Gilby!!!!

Cool story!!! You rock!!

What an awesome video 🤘🏻🕶🤘🏻

Love the 3ps maple necks of the 70's Les Paul... Bring that back...

What Seymour Duncan pickups are on this 79?

he seems like a nice guy - pawnshop guitars is my favourite gnr solo album - not that that is a great honour !

Gilby looks like 25 years ago!

i have owned about 20 gibsons my first one was a 1983 SG black it sat in the store months nobody bought it they were asking $999 i was 15 i saved up for it i got for $550 plus i traded in a guytone foot pedal it was the most costly thing i ever bought at that age and i still have the guitar and my bill of sale when i pass away i want in my coffin with me to play in the afterlife

Go gilby!!!!!

Another great first gibson vid

What a cool and down to earth guy 👍🏻 I like him..... some Rooooolling Stones for you 😆

What Duncan Pickups are in that guitar? They sound great!!!

After 20 Years of playing a customized Epiphone Les Paul, I got my first Gibson Les Paul (Special), and it was pure magic, so just a few weeks later I got my second Gibson Les Paul (Tribute). What can I say? I am saving all the Money I can to get another Gibson Les Paul (Standard). I guess I am addicted.

Which seymour duncans?

17-yr old hesher guitar player working in a gas station has a friend in the police department and is so virtuous that HE initiates the background check which could cost him everything. Sounds plausible. Ha ha, much love, Mr. Clark.. I think Johanna's Chopper is the best song written in all of the 90s.

That Les Paul is the 100% twin of my 1979 Standard. The front of it anyways. Mine doesn't have quite that much wear on it.

I wish he wasnt turned down in every concert. But he seemed like a guy everyone could get on with at a time when nobody was getting on.

Great story! Wish I still had my first Les Paul but I lost in a trade forever ago. 😒 My new 50’s Standard makes me feel much better about losing that guitar. 😁

Still have my first Gibson. A 94 black LP studio with gold hardware won on an eBay auction in 2005. I will never sell it.

Cool guitar

If only prices for Les Pauls were more affordable. Personally, I'd want a '58 Burst, '68 Custom Ebony, and hopefully a one off of my own someday. 🙏🤞

Did Gibson ever make a Gilby Clark signature model? If not, they SHOULD! They make'em for these newer unknown hacks

I believe his Deluxe originally had mini humbuckers not “single coil pickups”
