2007 Gibson Les Paul '59 Murphy aged, Yamano picked, hard rock maple top

from your choice of random chops you were obviously influenced by a lot of the same people I was....I'd love to jam with you sometime. I wish the recording could have been a little cleaner, a lot of your work is lost in ambient noise. I very much enjoyed hearing you though! Take care,

Thanks 11harrison11. I really appreciate your comments. Indeed, the recording was mediocre: I used a Flip camera for both audio and video, and I placed the camera in a terrible angle that basically cut off most of the frequencies..

HRM Yamano's are the best! I played one today and it is simply stunning. With a little luck, it is mine soon.

hey whats the diff with the hard rock maple as apposed to the maple they use on other reissues?? thanks..

There are many species of Maple. The HRM is also referred to as Acer saccharum, Rock Maple, Sugar Maple, as well as Hard Maple. It is the hardest of the Eastern Maples. It has been reported from a number of sources that Ted McCarty called out Hard Rock Maple

as the Specification for the first Les Paul Standard in 1952. It was used because it provided the best sustain of all the varieties tested
