"From the Vault" - 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard #1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2020
- Today we've got another incredible Burst for you, a beautiful 1959 Les Paul Standard! This one came to us straight from Nerdville, and we couldn't be happier about it - especially in such great condition. This one is all original with the exception of Grover tuners, and it plays perfectly! Of course, this guitar has the excellent sound you would expect at this level, with a great set of pickups to drive any amp. Today we've got Aaron Hiebert on the demo with the Matchless King Cobra amp featured over the last few days.
For more information on the guitar or amp, give us a call or check out:

Somewhere in Kansas, an elderly widow opens a forgotten guitar case from a dusty closet to expose a mint 59’ Sunburst.
Joe Bonamassa, sound asleep, bolts upright in bed.
True story 🤣
ghayy
Like the Undertaker
It be like the wraiths from Lord of the Rings, when Frodo puts on the ring, they are drawn to its location.
lol
It's so awesome that you can pick up an old guitar and amp and it still sounds incredible so many years later. I love it.
Gibson made 1500 of these in the late 50s but there’s only 2500 left...........
I think it was something like 643 (1959) or so. But yep, 2500 still left 😂
Same thing with 1967 corvette 427s
Hilariously true. Let's not forget the other 1500 Chibsons on sale on eBay.
Yeah, something is up...and that is an understatement. There are way too many floating around. I was listening to a podcast with Kirk Hammett on it a few months ago (I believe it was Dean Delray's, 'Let there be Talk' show) and he was saying that there is a non-playing collector somewhere out there that owns over 100 of these (I can't remember the number..but it was staggering..especially when you consider the price tag on these and the small # produced). So if one guy owns a huge number...and then there are all of the ones that are owned by all of these people selling or showing them off online, where are all of these others coming from? hehe. When these were originally purchased in 59/early 60's, the buyers did not know that these were going to be worth 100's of thousands of dollars 60 years later...so they played them. There are wayyyy too any in great shape. People played them. Even when they were new, these were not cheap guitars. It seems like the guitar world has lost all of its morals.
If all the Rock musicians from the 60's going on to the 70's didnt use these guitars the value will not have been these crazy prices, imaginé I remember back in the late 80's a burst cost between 5000- 9000$. Now its more than a house.
The holy grail we have all been searching for for our entire lives. Often imitated, never duplicated.
and it sounded like any cheap chinese guitars lol
@@lasersauceretroarchives6544 If you really think that it sounded like any chinese guitar then there are some serious problems with your ear. No guitar can touch than tone.
What an amazing style this guitar player has! I'm nothing short of blown away by that demo!
I'm a strat guy, but when they're good the tone is amazing!
I was a "Strat guy" exclusively for 17 years straight. I've played every level of the things from MIM to vintage. I bought my first LP a year, or 2 ago. It was a new (at the time) custom shop. Then I bought a few more, then my first Tele (a custom shop), then my first 335 (a custom shop), and now I don't even own a Strat. I went straight for custom shop models to understand what the pinnacle of that style guitar was like without investing in vintage pieces out of the gate. Nothing wrong with a Strat, but you'd be surprised as to what type of expression you can get out of different guitars that a Strat just can't touch.
@@rw2806 Totally agree. Personally I find that a Gibson (particularly Custom Shop guitars with correct vintage-era tone) can produce more nuance than Fenders can across the board. I actually find Strats to be some of the least versatile guitars around. Their sound works and works well for what they do, but they always just sound like what they are. Teles and especially Les Pauls can blend better in mixes and can sit in the back when they need to. A Strat always stands out like a sore thumb and it's blatant whenever someone is playing one. I've heard Teles sound like 'Bursts and vice versa depending on how they're being played and what they're being run into. A Strat always just sounds like a Strat. That's fine if that's the only sound someones wants. Personally I'll take a good LP any day.
@@Dagger_323 A good Strat belongs in the herd. They are amazing. Same for Telecasters and Les Pauls. Finding ones with mojo in every class... not so easy and finding a LP that sounds like like a Burst... almost impossible. But close is good enough. They all sparkle in their way and when you get a good one of any of them, you run less gain because the sound clean is so amazing.
Ryan Wells a a qq
chuckyz2 I disagree. I had my day with Strats. I moved on from them a long time ago and don’t miss having one in the slightest.
Those pickups are on a different level. Clear and warm.
there's like plenty of there are way better than this tone and x10 cheaper than this classic vintage Gibson tone.
I'm sure that amplifier is doing a fair amount of the heavy lifting.
They sounded so muddy to me.
@@nicholaschavira1743 Don't like the tone either...
For there being so few bursts supposedly made I sure see a lot of original bursts on the market
No you don’t it’s the same ones. There are people who have them that never sell them. Example: Tom Kiefer.
They have to keep changing hands to keep values up.
One Thousand, Seven Hundred and Twelve. That's the number of Les Paul Standards Gibson produced between 1958 and 1960.
@@paulthomasmiller1842 Joe Bonamassa owns 1,632 of them 👍
Of the 643 1959 Les Pauls ever produced, only 5,000 are known to survive.
Nice to hear someone who has their chops down tight playing this beautiful burst.
Joe B could save some vintage for the rest of us, lol. I love his guitar collection. This is a killer burst.
The vault, the vault is on FIRE! that burst is super sweet. Thanks for sharing these vault beauties
I have been playing since I was 8 years old. I am 65 owned a lot of guitars. My suggestion do not ever sell that guitar and amp. That burst with that amp has the most amazing tone. How Joe sold it is beyond me. Even though Nerville is home to over 300 guitars not to mention the road guitars. I dont have the financial resources to ever own a burst so the ability to hear or occasionally play one is a treat. I bought a 1960 reissue and play through a tweed that is the best I can do that R9 howls. Thanks for sharing.........
if its a 60 reissue it would be an R0 or G0
Nice. As soon as he hit that first chord in the demo, my ears perked up! And man, that guitar has some real sustain to it! 😎
why do some guitars have magic sustain and other dont ?.....do you think the wood factors in ?
@@rv6205late reply but:
I think it's just magic. No rhyme or reason to it. The best sustaining guitar of mine is an early 70s SG that feels "dead" unplugged, not resonant at all, body barely vibrates... but the strings ring loud and clear for a long long time. Bizarre 🤔
@@OldManJenkins23 there are theorys on that too...that non resident guitars transmit all the energy to the strings and dont absorb anything .....I love the fokelure of guitars , i never needed a basball mit with mojo lol but guitars are a different story
That middle position was something else!!!!
Grovers were standard on the Les Paul Custom from 1958. For the Les Paul Standard or as it`s very often referred to as the Burst, Grovers were offered as an upgraded option.
It sounds like a synthesizer, it's so damn clear sounding! UNINHIBITED. I miss seein what you can do left handed with some of these guitars. I know people complain, but it'd be cool to see maybe both you and someone else demo guitars sometime! Consider it!
What a sound. Wow!
I could never own something like this. I could never afford it. I would be afraid to play it. And if something happened to it I would never forgive myself. I appreciate all the wonderful players who preserve these pieces of history.
Good video. Interesting these old standards look exactly like a cheaper new Gibson Les Paul classic. I think this guitar sounds great in the video... but about on par with any new Gibson Les Paul studio through standard. A lot of people think just because something is vintage it sounds better... which isn't always the case when you play them in person. For instance I have a vintage PRS custom 24 at my house and a new one. The new one sounds significantly better... probably because of the newer pickups... but I definitely appreciate vintage stuff and nostalgia that goes with them. And the simplicity of the older designs and finishes.
Gorgeous gorgeous guitar...And that guy can play man!
This would be awesome to route out a floyd and chuck 2 EMG 81s in it.
Play it thru an Engl Firebird too
😮😂🤣😂🤣
The man can play, did it justice 👍
I never understand why these holy grail guitars are not reviewed through amps of the same period - I can’t tell it apart from anything else modern. Far too much gain and nothing to set it apart for the viewer other than smitten presenters and some memorabilia. No one discusses what we need to hear.
Well said
Were you disappointed because you were planning on buying this one? 🤣 “Yeah I was planning on throwing down $350,000 on a guitar but I don’t know about that Matchless amp.”
Ok boomer
Hogwash !!
It has a great tone...There is not enough overdrive here to kill off the voice of that guitar.
It is very articulate, defined and with good dynamics and has a distinct sound of PAF Gibson through a slightly overdriven amp.
Probably the best sounding 59s Ive heard. WOW!
The holy grail. Thanks for the demo, that was some smooth playing.
Great sounding guitar ... my 2018 Gibson True Historic 60 sounds like that. If you can't get one of these, get one of those. Love it so much I sold off most of my Gibson USA guitars and used the funds to buy a small handful of Custom Shop Historics, the 60 is my favorite.
John B. Agree. I got a 60th 59 and it’s amazing. 100% vintage spec except no Brazilian board. It’s probably 95%+ of the tone of a vintage and way cheaper
I have a 2018 Gibson les paul historic 59 and it sounds like that as well the are great sounding re-issue guitars 🎸
@@kevinbrodess2684 Yes, agreed. I've since added a 2018 Historic 60 reissue which was a CME 60 with partial 59 spec like the first issues in 60 with leftover 59 parts, bits and pieces to go with my other Historics. Just blown away by the tone.
I love how it roars when he starts playing high voltage
beautiful!!! this is why we play guitar!
that’s exactly what i want in a rhythm pick up when he played it the sound was so awesome and beautiful i could play that pick up for the rest of my life i love these older Gibsons
this video needs to be about 30 minutes longer
No joke... I would like to hear more history behind this guitar. 👍🎸
That doesn't suck. holy smokes. Love the amp too! great playin!
That's unbelievable!
Great sounding Guitar ! Great Demo as well !!!
Les got it right with this one!
This is a beautiful Gibson les Paul standard
I've got a 2001. I love it. I'd love to try a 1959...just to experience it.
Depending on which one you got ahold of you're either blown away or disappointed. Not all of them are mythical tone monsters just like today's guitars.
But it is an experience.
acdc a man from my heart....great player...nice gear
awesome . guys enjoying that burst
Amazing!
Great sounding guitar, amp- but also a very good player to make it sing! 😎👍
Great tone on this beast.
I like this one too. Aaron has the best job on the planet. Deservingly of course. But with this job must come the desire to own one of the great guitars he gets to demo. I feel for you brother. It has to be tough. I can only imagine how these old gems sound in person.
He does own a few. Trust fund 👶 I heard.
@@mikejamieson4252 He deserves it. Great talent.
Mmm, those are some absolutely punchy PAFs, I love when they growl like that.
Excellent!
I replaced many a set of Klusons on Gibson guitars, with Grovers or Schallers. If anything, Grovers will increase the sustain of a Paul due to adding mass to the headstock. This Paul is absolutely phenomenal in appearance. Did I say, "YUM," yet?
thats exactly what you want to hear from a les paul. Amazing finish and I prefer the grovers.
A particularly distinctive sounding Les Paul!
Loved it bursts are so amazing ECG makes the best videos on RUclips brilliant information and guitars we'd never see 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic playing and tone
Man I'd love to see how these 59-60 burst you've shown compare to one of the new reissues with Throbak or DoyleCoils in them. I haven't played many vintage guitars, but i played a 64 SG and honestly it sounded spectacular, but it didn't play very good, and I was lucky enough to compare it with a Custom Shop 61 Reissue and it was pretty much even, but played better.
Doug and Pat show guys did exactly that with those pickups and they 1960 burster and1958 gold top Les Paul standard with the throw backs and Doyle coils, up to me the Gibson sounded the nearest of course, but you should watch those videos, they show what you've been looking for.
@@auntjenifer7774 thanks for the suggestion, I have actually seen the show before and I have to say I'm not a fan. Too much talking, hour long videos that could be like 15 minutes and the audio quality is not very good. They have good content, I wish they transmitted it in a better way.
Sounds awesome on that amp. Wish you had a few amps to put it through.
I'm planning to write one of these into my novel-in-progress - since I can't seem to get my hands on a real one, this is as close as I'll probably get. Thanks.
What's crazy is that it sounds just like my Les Paul standard after doing the 50's wiring and melting the wax out of the chrome covered humbugs.
Trust me. In person the difference is blatant.
Pio.022 caps?
Sounds and looks like my Orville By Gibson RI.
@@mikejamieson4252 yeah pio.22 for the Bridge and.15 for the neck. Or maybe they are are orange drop, can't really remember but I remember the values of them, I think.
@@Dagger_323 if you had more guitar playing videos than video game playing videos i would trust your opinion a little more that way.
Aaron with that Matchless amp!!!!!
Fine as wine......guitar is purty nice 2 LOL
Sounds sweet :)
W.O.W!! For the comments about the tuners, at this time it seems to be a very commune modification, my Bloomfield LP has these same tuners. I don’t even want to know the price of that thing though.
Nice playing, sounds awesome
wow that sounds good
Sounds amazing...
The perfect amp to show its true power with, yeah thanks
@7.04 you can see the nut has taken a BIG HIT!!!! It needs replacing but hey you will drop a bundle of cash.
What is with the $1000 price? looks like a Gibson price tag did they not sell for $245 in 59' Rusty strings also!!
Me: "The 59 LP hype is bullshit. It doesnt sound any better than guitars that cost 1/200th its price!
Me after actually hearing a 59 LP: "Oh, nevermind".
Nicely played man!
Why not post the price in the description? Beautiful guitar.
Those pickups are something else
Incredible
Beautiful burst but the 61 sg Les Paul is my top pick.
Does the tail piece have posts for the strings to attach too before they wrap around, like a Bigsby? If so it’s no wonder they changed it..... other than that it’s beautiful!!!!
Good Grief…. That tone is unmistakable
How can you even string a guitar with 60 year old Klusens? It sucks breaking a tuner that's worth $2000 a set. When I sold my 'Burst the originals were in the case along with the Bigsby. Thanks Jay!
4:52 the sound of my jaws dropping
Oh my what a BEAUTIFUL BEAST!!!
Trevor, on your next burst could we hear it out of a Twin Reverb early 60s? 🎸💚
That is the perfect Les Paul
Wow what a fantastic player! He really brings that thing to life!
The tuning peg holes have to be enlarged in order to take the Grovers......maybe not routed but drilled open.....
..
Yep, that one sounds ok!
That git is on fire.
damn fine playing by the way......bravo.....really showcases what the guit can do....fine guitar nice mismatched top
I saw somewhere that Ted Nugent has a '59. Does anyone know if he used it on any of his albums ?
JUST WOW!!
Gotta plug these into Tweeds. For some reason to me 59s and Teles are like made to go into Tweeds...perfect combos...
My 2009 Standard looks and sounds Identical to this one! Luckily only cost me a tenth of that one..
Another thing is who has the final say on the value of these 59 les Paul’s … if I walked in the shop tomorrow with a beat up 59 in its original case .. maybe the neck was repaired maybe it wasn’t .. who put the value on these things .. would the shop ring the like of slash or Joe Bonamassa and say we’ve got another one .. I’d love to know how they are actually valued 😊
My dream lespaul is r9
That’s one sweet sounding guitar! That amp would have helped but yeah great tone and that guy can really play!
Oh yea, tuners that use a nut on the top require a larger hole than the vintage klusens with a push in bushing. So the hole had to be enlarged.
The tuner changed. Still 100% original？
ikr, about 70% original I'd say.
Great Sound, why isn`t this possible with reissues?
Makes you wonder how close the serial number is to Page's number one.
Nice... Can tell you are use to a good Les Paul the way your right hand is kinda strumming as you pik...wail on that thing..good job
🔥🔥🔥🔥
So how close do the R9's get and is there a preferred year or even years of manufacture for those ?
Hello Andy I have a 2018 historic 1959 Les Paul lemon burst finish it’s got a lot of clarity in the pick ups when you roll back the volume but it’s got a lot of punch and rock out too !!!
These vintage guitars really should be demo'd through a Boss MT-2.
100% original is 100% original in my world
Gibson Les Paul 1959 Original 3:13
Sounds nice
When he opens the guitar case Jon Bonamassa gets drawn to its location like a wraith from Lord of the Rings when Frodo puts on the ring.
😆🤭
CAN I HAVE THAT? LOL AMAZING!
they tried it with stradivarius vs new violin - nobody could tell the difference blindfolded....
through a Matchless amp?
So if you are ever rich enough to afford a 59 Les Paul just know the only ones out there to choose from are Bonamassa left overs.
