My friend, you just ripped a $1000 bill nearly in half....yes, I'd say you're ABSOLUTELY FIRED!!! Sad to say you didn't have the foresight to package all of these tags into a clear sealable pack for some protection. The "Sweet Cherry" poster has been hanging in my guitar room for 30 years now. She is an anomaly. In my estimation, she is so high above any surviving 1958-1960 Les Paul Standard as to get a nose bleed. Her lineage is astonishing. Aside from the torn credential, thank you for sharing this priceless beauty!
OooooH Myyyy God, that’s freaking so incredible I want to cry. Don’t tell me it’s not worth as much because it’s not a burst. This might be the sweetest guitar I’ve ever laid eyes on. Top 10 for sure.
God, I CRAVE that guitar - what a beautiful, original instrument from a bygone age. In addition, you played it like it should be played - clean, articulate and with no gain, either amp or pedal. What a beauty!
5:45 looked like it could fall off his lap at any time. Then 6:40 damn he could have banged that headstock against the table edge multiple times! 9:13 he actually ripped that paper! C'mon guys seriously you're handling this like an idiot!
I owned a factory bright red LP Deluxe in the mid-'70's that was also stunning. Of course, it was a Norlin era thing and way downstream from that '58, but it still had a great vibe. I miss it.
Now THAT is how you take care of a guitar. And that has to be my new favorite Les Paul of all time. I hate fake relic guitars. And I love when you take one and just keep it mint , that’s ok.
That’s cool but the “Mr dealer” tag would not have been original from this guitar, being supposedly the first ever red Les Paul if you believe the hype, they would not have had the ‘feedback’ yet about fading analine dyes so why would there have been a Mr dealer tag? To me this means likely the case candy has been assembled after the fact to provide a complete picture.
It was in the case with the other candy. Was the Mr. Dealer card only for the red analine die? Not sure when this "warning" became standard as I've seen many earlier 50s goldtops with a square "shadow" of the toggle tag, meaning the guitar was displayed in the sunny store window and the finish darkened around the tag, thus ruining a new guitar's finish and causing problems and inevitable discounts . Also, this guitar was sold later in 1958 after traveling with the sales force and being used as a demo at seminars. Probably after cherry Jrs and sunburst standards were readily available.
ok enough It’s too clean for a sixty -six year old guitar . Great story , but so sad it was never played and now is a just a trophy . Most 58 59 60 Standards are NOT tone monsters and are owned by people who can’t really play that well . When will the madness end ? The day I buy one !!!

The guy giving the history was making me nervous swinging that headstock so close that table! 😮
Me too! He really wasn't paying attention...ands neither was the other guy who tore the original paperwork...

Jesus, I was worried too! 😮...😂

Wonderful to see this documented here. Thanks!
You ripped the OG pickup tag?! YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!!

You got it ! Thank you so much ! These guitars have the sweetest tone, no need for pedals !
This guy looks really baked ...
Yup, he's high as a kite. I think the video ends when he's just about to get it on with the guitar.
@@mikethebloodthirsty 😂😂😂
So cool to see all three of those LP's together like that , love all of thems ! Thanky Spanky !
I've seen that one before, but never heard it played. What a BEAUTIFUL piece!
Man o' man, I WANT that one!
66 years undamaged, he destroys the tag and doesn't edit it out.
Awesome guitar! What a unicorn! I bought that blacked out Duo Sonic from ya a few years back! Glad to see ya again!

What a fantastic video Mike have a wonderful weekend ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow, can't get any better than this
Sweet, very cool!!
🎸🎸🎸
holy shit thats sounds GOOOOOOD
Congrats bro on that beautiful guitar.That gold top is glorious!! Half million dollar guitar?
Fantastic guitar, dude... kudos !
🎸🎸
Love it! Sweet Cherry 🍒
❤️❤️
Wow! That's a beauty. Where did the ledger page come from? Thanks Mike and Joe.
I believe it was Walter Carter who found it and gave me the copy of the ledger page.
It’s amazing that the finish hasn’t checked, nor evidently has it faded. How does that happen?
oh, son. that piece of paper is worth more than your car!
Wow... great video... killer guitar! I'll bet that's worth some serious $$$... lucky man to own that beauty....
Beautiful.
That’s like a translucent Red. A beautiful 1958. Reminds me of Jimmy Page’s #3 although his is a 1969 I believe.
If this video did t make you an instant subscriber I probably wouldn’t want to be in the same room with you anyway.
“Oops, I just ripped it.”
very cool man where did you find such a rare Les Paul
Reminds me of George Harrison's Lucy Les Paul guitar
6:30 ... waving that headstock back and forth toward the table edge. OMG. Stop!!!!
This guy made the video unwatchable.
Good god, I thought he was going to bang the headstock off of the floor or into that desk
I thought Gibson lost the shipping ledgers from the Mid 50's?
Sweet
I’m waiting for Joe to sell me this guitar
Only guitar rarer then that is a blackburst…

Wait a second, if everyone wanted one back then, why so few sold???
That bridge must have been replaced, even if it was in a case since March 1958. Love the look! Cherry Bomb is a better name though...
Who owns it now?
Joe Bonamassa will in a week or two...
If that's all original, why were the pickups uncovered in the poster?
If you look close you'll see the covers are on it in the poster.
@@joemenza6633Yeah, you're right. That's weird that my eyes somehow saw them as uncovered.
has the cherry les Paul been sold?
Sorry, not for sale.
not you ripping one of the original pieces of case candy :') amazing video still, but that one hurt
Aren't the control covers supposed to be brown?
Yes, first one with black covers... should have mentioned that. Thanks.
Anyone wanna make bets on how long before bonamassa owns it ?
Oh man you didn’t plug it in and put some hair on it 😢
Has Joe Bonamasa seen this?
He's probably the owner
No nibs?
The 2017 Lester I bought is no slouch, it's actually completely BAD-A$$. To me, the new ones sound just as good or even better .
That made six
ok enough It’s too clean for a sixty
-six year old guitar . Great story , but so sad it was never played and now is a just a trophy . Most 58 59 60 Standards are NOT tone monsters and are owned by people who can’t really play that well .
When will the madness end ?
The day I buy one !!!
Ok?,Allrigth!
Not a check...wait...quick, put it in the freezer!
lol
Oops....LOL
Interesting guitar, irritating commentary
Hard work this video. Sounds like he’s having a stroke as he’s waffling on
Freakin clown show.
Trade u a 2 liter of Mountain Dew for it
Come on man, just play it already. You're talking to us like we're in kindergarten.
Calm down Karen. Some of us can appreciate the history and story.
Most ugly finish they could do.
