- Today we've got an incredible find for you all... a 100% original 1958 Gibson Les Paul Custom with a trio of incredible PAF pickups and a factory Bigsby to top it off! This is a wonderful piece of Gibson history and just such a rare find that we're blown away having it in the shop. A beautiful black finish on the body, ebony fret board, generous amounts of gold hardware (including the Bigsby), well aged binding all around and of course the cool Custom diamond logo on the headstock. We're sure you'll fall in love with this guitar just as much as we have, especially when Karl plugs it in to this cranked up and awesome Fender '59 Bassman Ltd reissue amplifier!

The videography is the best I’ve seen for guitar stuff on CZcams.
My dream guitar.
Same. One day, my friend...
Yep
When the dude heard it with distortion he was so pumped. God that sounded great.
From 5:08 onwards is easily the best electric guitar tone I have ever heard. Full fucking stop.
Fantastic demo
Always wanted one of those bassman reissues, i have so many damn amps though. Maybe someday I will pick one up!
my dad has a 58 gibson les Paul custom. with the original case. His uncle bought it died on a motorcycle and left it to him a year after getting it in 58. All original. Its beautiful.
Nothing like the 3 pup black beauty with a bigsby. Best sounding les paul ever made
I don’t always think that these old Gibsons sound as great they are hyped up to be. 9 times out of 10 I feel like you can get a better sounding guitar for 1/10 the cost, BUT this one lives up to the hype.
Great guitar
Great amp
Great player
❤
stunning
Sound is always excellent. I think the amps are often running beyond their sweet spot though, going into fizzy overdrive, which personally I only want when I switch a fuzz pedal on, which isn’t often. Dial the amp back, so it’s not collapsing at full guitar volume and nice and clean at 4 or 5.
It’s those dang Jensens. I’m a fan of greenback type speakers in a Bassman and turned up to 7. They stay together so much better.
I love your videos. One day i will fly to your shop to visit you all!!!
One thing on my Mind by Montrose on a very cool "Gibson Black Beauty" through a Fender Bassman which inspired the Marshall amps we know and love today.
That face he makes when hitting that G chord into a cranked tube amp; that's a feeling every guitar player should experience. Real amps forever.
The children need to know the errors of their way when it’s concerning those soul eroding amp modelers. We need to save them from themselves before it’s too late.
My dream amp ever since I heard Buudy Guy play one
Oh, that Touch my Heart.
Black beauty always seems to me like strike fear to the man's heart.pure black raw mucel.stuning guitar!
6:40 I can totally see how this was the basis for the original jtm45. It's kinda got that sound here just for a second
I'm happy with my reissue
The stuff of dreams!!
Phil!! Miss ya, brother. I would love to hear YOU jam on this beast! These demos are so much harder to do than I could have ever anticipated, but it sure is an honor to blast away on rare gems like this LP.
@@karlvandervelden3373 You did such a great job of letting the guitar really ring and show its voice. Always great to hear you. Hope to get back up there sometime soon!
Thank you Carl for the montrose, put a smile on My face
Thanks...I couldn't quite place the riff!
what montrose song is that from? can’t seem to find it
@@oSHIRTSo montrose/montrose ,one thing on My mind czcams.com/video/nuxCK1kw2DU/video.html
Nice video
Well. This is it. This is the dream that will never die until its fulfilled.
DAMN 👊🏼
Way cool Know Carl from school days gone by.
I’ll take two
Play it with a Marshall please!
Rock And Roll ? for me more grand piano or Cadillac ;)
Pagey liked his.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.
Is that straight in the bass man or ya using a boost pedal on that ? Sounds killer
I thought I heard a pedal just before the distortion started
This is the guitar.
You can hear the frets plinking out a bit But a professional fret job wouldn't ruin the price would it Really needs it if your going to play it So what does that do for the collectability of a piece like that
I don’t think professional fret jobs affect the value of top tier vintage guitars. The word though is PROFESSIONAL.
Wasn’t this dude the bartender in Cheers?
Lol
I'd love to see Aaron play that through a Marshall.
Yeah, me too! The force is strong with young Aaron :)
Well the original Bluesbreakers were 59 Bassman circuits built with the British military electronics and valves that Jim Marshall had available to him so this was the closest fender amp to a Marshall. Though I do get what your saying, but this amp broken in a little would be one of the best amps to pair this guitar with and is one of the reasons I had to click on this video. I would like to hear this thing plugged into an ODS
Without the origin screwdriver I wouldn' t buy the guitar.
Those Fender LTDs don't come close to the original. I had some regrets I sold mine but after hearing this now I know why I did.
Slick
The crème de la crème
🤙❤️🤙
That black case - at least mine from ‘82 is a hazard. Peg head can end up in contact. 😵
Beano album anybody?
😳 drool worthy
"Pecker Marks" , Stop, you're killing me.
Yeah you'd think he'd flip it over to the back to show the pecker marks. You have to be rockin hard to get pecker marks. I mean rock hard
Montrose!
I think Mr. Neil Young would lose his mind seeing this Gem!
Neil plays thru P-90’s and a grtesch pickup in his 54 , the firebird 4 pickup was stolen out of blackie when it was in for service
gibsondrummer Got that backwards. He lost the Gretsch pickup in the early 70s and replaced it with a Firebird pickup in the bridge position. He’s got a P90 in the neck, but he rarely ever uses it.
@@darwinsaye Thank you for your insight. Very interesting.
Frank Sampedro was playing through a bassman when they went on tour in 1978.
I start the bid at $1,958.....
Duuuude
Triple binding? No. They’re like 7-ply on the top and 5-ply on the back. Unless you mean triple as in top, back and headstock
Hell ! why don't you just show us the price !
Probably you dont have to ask for the price if you can afford it.
It's probably a matter of sales competition, so they can't be undercut by a competitor with a black beauty just like it
Does anyone else Bassman LTD have a gap between the back panel and controls? It’s annoying as hell! Lol beautiful guitar.
It’s adjustable but believe me there’s two very good reasons to keep the gap. One, it allows heat to vent from the chassis which gets quite hot, and two when that back panel is in contact with the chassis you get some loud and annoying buzzes as the cab vibrates and rattles against it.
@@Slammintone thanks for the info. That makes sense, and I hate amp rattle!
playing a bone dry tweed amp.. i mean i get it, they are trying to show off the guitar and amp setup but still....throw in a non-obtrusive delay or something
Can't stand the bigsby or the dreaded Floyd Rose.... love the guitar though.
Too much for this hone player...had to sell off my 59RI
Give it to the poor
Man, I really dislike the fender bassman amps. I will never understand the appeal, personally.
I felt the same after trying out a new ‘59 LTD Bassman. It was loud and spikey and much too trebly in person. Ridiculous. I could not understand the appeal one bit.
But! That changed after my first experience with a Victoria 45410. The most heavenly gorgeous cleans and a full blooming midrange and a deep killer low end. Also, amazing overdrive that’s not splattery like the reissue LTD.
I think part of people not liking these amps is that they have an unusual eq curve. You need to dime the mids, bass off and treble on 2 or 3. If you set everything on 5-6 like a blackface or typical fender type amp, it sounds awful.
Pecker marks 🤭
Wouldn’t “pecker marks” be on the back? 🤔
Too bad the les paul custom has an outrageous price tag. People don't care about music or the instrument it seems like. Only to make a quick buck. So sad.
