you prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch all of the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my gf for the last days =)
I doubt that Jay would remember me but I live in Australia and I bought a Gretsch Brian Setzer SSLVO from him. The guitar was even better than he described it. Jay took calls from me after hours (due to the time difference) and was a true gentleman. His knowledge is amazing. I sadly had to sell the Gretsch, due to financial woes (yes, even at my age. Must be a musician thing) I miss that guitar every day. I would highly recommend Emerald City Guitars and in particular Jay, if you're looking for an amazing guitar from an honest reputable dealer. Thanks Jay for being You!!! (P.S. I intend coming over there next year and you will be my first port of call).
Flaming Harry's Burst's name was "Alberta" - a wonderful guitar. And the first Burst I ever put my hands on. I'm still unbelievably thankful that you guys let me play this thing for almost a whole afternoon. You guys (and girl) are the best!
I love the mineral lines in the wood. You don’t see it much now. Perhaps people see it as a fault. But I love it. I’d love to sit my mint 78 Hamer Sunburst against these. In my opinion it’s as good as a 60 Les Paul. I’m in the Uk and I’d love to visit your shop.
I never realized just how beautiful the Lemon burst are. I'm beginning too think i like them as much if not more than the sun burst. Also as silly as it sounds one of my most favorite LP's is the original Ace Freley burst with the triple pick ups. I just think an LP' burst with three pups looks so so cool.
I may not have (at the moment 😉) $300,000 for one of those but from careful observing and repeated questions I’ve asked you guys when I’m there I must say that I DO HAVE the utmost respect for your establishment, staff & you yourself Jay. 🙏🏻
I've sold guitars for 41 years and Jimmy Page is the name mentioned 80% of the time when someone is buying a Les Paul, be it vintage or new. Clapton played a "burst" so briefly almost anyone under 60 would never have known he played one. Keith Richards was the first well known guitarist in Britain to play one and he was seen with it almost all the time in 62-65 Clapton actually borrowed Keith's when his was stolen during the first Cream tour in 1966
I've been told by someone in the know when the correction comes, and it will be sooner than later, these prices will be cut in half. Better to lose a little on a cheaper guitar that sounds and plays just about as good than 200k on one of these?
So tell us how these $275k-$350k LP'S are that much different than my 2004 LP Classic, my 2013 LP Trad Pro II or my 1998 LP Standard? mine are $1500-$2200.. these are several hundred thousand..... do these really give us $290k more tone and playability???
Old growth honduran lightweight mahogany VS young dense mahogany.. Single peice body VS 2 peice bodies... Long tenon VS Short Tenon.. Urea formaldehyde glue VS titebond.. original handwound PAF's VS modern machine wound humbuckers.. decades of ageing (which does effect tone). They're not $300K because of the tone and playability. Their historical relevance is what demands the high price tag. If Page, Allman, Gibbons etc never used these original bursts, they wouldn't be nearly as expensive as they are. That being said, there is not a better sound Les Paul out there than a 58-60 burst. Closest thing that gets there is re-issues.
Exactly my point.... Yeah "Old Growth Mahogany" and "Glue" and "Two Piece" bodies may have some subtle advantage when it comes to tone and MAYBE playability, but the difference is so minuscule to the human ear the price difference in these 58-60 burst compared to newer Les Paul's is way out of context. Their historical reference is key.. they are valued at these current price points because the guitar hero's of the baby boom generation played them.... Generation X, and The Millennial's are not as interested... Watch the prices for these in 20 years come back down to earth....
ContraBand Joe I’m a Gen X and I’m very interested in these guitars. Please don’t put my generation in the same sentence with the millennial generation. Ha!
Panic42000 I'm late baby boomer-beginning of Gen X as well. I'm interested too but statistics are showing Gen X and the millennial bunch are not the biggest market for vintage guitars
At first they were my least favorite year but over time as I saw more and more of them, the 1960 models with the reflector knobs and the "tomato soup burst" color schemes have now become my FAVORITE of the "Bursts" by far. With very few exceptions, all of the '58 and '59 Bursts now look the same as far as color goes...the red has completely faded and they are all a solid yellow color which I really don't like. The main variation between all of the surviving '58 and '59 Bursts is the pattern of the tops, and as someone who also really likes the plain tops better than the ones with heavy quilting or "tiger stripes", a super plain top in the solid yellow color is not really visually appealing...to ME anyway. That's another reason why I love the '60's the most now. The change in formula for Gibson's red dye means that pretty much all of the 1960 Bursts retain that red sunburst finish and there are more variations to choose from. The 1960 example in this video is pretty darn close to my idea of the PERFECT 1960 Burst.

God I’m having heart palpitations right now...gorgeous trio of bursts.
I only have one thing too say, SHWINGGGGGGG
Question here about the abr-1 bridges; why does the first one has an abr-1 that is not directly drilled in the body itself?
I may not have (at the moment 😉) $300,000 for one of those but from careful observing and repeated questions I’ve asked you guys when I’m there I must say that I DO HAVE the utmost respect for your establishment, staff & you yourself Jay. 🙏🏻
Is that a real abr-1 screwed into the top on that lemon 59?

And yet Jimmy Page actually used a Fender Telecaster for a lot of his studio recordings.
@@EnterJustice yes, he used several different guitars in the studio
I'm in.

Notice the 'Nerdville' luggage tag? Anyone?
2 of the 3 came from joe.

How long have they been making fakes?
Did you get the SEO right? This vid should go viral like nothing!!
.... no sound..? oh man
Newer is better.
Gibson can’t get anything right these days
How many Gibson Les Pauls do you own?
