    Thanks for some of the clean demo sounds on this guitar. I love to hear what a guitar truly sounds like without a blanket of distortion. As soon as it goes into distortion land it could be any guitar. But this guitar is a fine sounding example.

    I have relearned how to play guitar from watching Lemmo , and today's lesson was inspirational , luv the P90's , just straight ahead rock n roll , open em up and crank it , use the entire board and every chord imaginable. TV yellow is a great color and these old Gibby's just have a sound that is unmistakable , so raw and crunchy , right up my alley , great demo , great GOTD , thanks guys.

    The story about tv yellow showing up better on camera is just that; a story. TV stands for Translucent Varnish. The television thing waa all the rage back then & Gibson even made amps that looked like tvs.
    Oh and they dont yellow from cig smoke in bars at gigs. Fiction. UV light and oxygen cause the yellowing.

      Two sides to every story... my brother was in the TV industry (NBC) and when I purchased a used '59 TV Jr., he mentioned that when someone wore, lets say, a white dress shirt, it make a horrible smear on the screen, so, to make something look white on B&W TV .... Huntley & Brinkley wore either a light blue, light green or light yellow shirt... problem solved, their shirts looked a bleached white. So did these guitars.

    God, those clean tones are *SO* good. You simply cannot get that sound out of any other guitar. And yet, it can still shred with the best of 'em if you crank up the gain. It's really the best of both worlds. My first electric guitar is going to be a Les Paul Special as soon as I've got enough money to buy one. 🙂

  • @markburrows1179
    @markburrows1179 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Michael is a true troubadour, give him an original production series model guitar and his passion just explodes through his fingers. Why would he want to do anything else? A constant flow of rare and unique guitars as well as current production. Doesn't even have to buy them. I'm certain Norm is willing to lend a piece for a day or two for recording purposes. You know. Advertising, all instruments and equipment are supplied by Norman's Rare Guitars, etc.
