1954 GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD 'CLOUD NINE'

Back in my hometown there was a guitar player named Phil Keaggy who came from Youngstown Ohio. He carried a bible in one hand and a Les Paul in the other. When everyone else was using volume and fuzz boxes, Phil used a Les Paul plugged straight into a Fender Twin reverb. There has never been another player like him. He invented the clean guitar tone. For this tribute to the master, I pulled out a '54 cloud nine that has never been played except for this night. Stuck the tone selector into the middle position and plugged it into a Fender twin. Of course i'm not worthy. But this is just a bunch of his cool riffs combined into a slightly melodic excersize.

It's just a song built around a bunch of Phil Keaggy riffs.

And a couple of my own.

Check out Phils CD 'Blue' for his electric work.

He also plays acoustic He's a legend around Cleveland Ohio.

@chymist66 This one weighs 7lbs. It's so beautiful, I don't play it. The grain is incredable.

Great playing and lovely tone from the guitar. I held one of these in my local music shop last weekend. It's out of my price range but it was beautiful and really light.
