    It blows my mind they still aren't using an actual mic to record the audio. Come on guys, a little interface like the zoom units with a SM57 cost like $200 all in and will sound a million times better!

    Absolutely killed it yet again Michael! Led for the head and ears. Just more evidence that a classic Les Paul cranked and a Jimmy Page riff equals magic. The riff at the end was great, too. That guitar may not be the prettiest Goldtop ever because of heavy use but i have heard very few that sound like that. It has vibe and there is no way to quantify the worth of that. What a great video...thanks also to Norm for the background story and for sharing these instruments with us. If this was a class at school, everyone would want to take it! God bless you guys and keep rockin' it Michael!

      Some do. Depends entirely on the setup and the relative gauss of the magnet. A reason a lot of people prefer PAFs is because the mags were generally not as powerfully charged as modern A5's and the like. Allows the guitar to breathe a lot better ..
