1962 Gibson Les Paul (SG shaped) Junior Demo

Here is one sweet old guitar...I was blown away as soon as I plugged it in to my "rig". I cleaned it up and set it up with a fresh set of D'addario XL Lights as best I could (the original bridge won't give you proper intonation on all of the strings). Even with the few things that need attention...like the nut is cracked at the B string (note the piece of paper there), this thing screams! There is nothing quite like a 45 year old piece of Mahogany with an original Gibson P-90 pickup. I've always liked taking chances live and doing these demos as I'm led at the moment...completely unrehearsed (and in this and most cases, not even warmed up properly), it gives me an opportunity to fall on my face and keeps my ego from getting in the way. About 3/4 of the way through it hit me how rich and deep this guitar sounded in normal tuning, so I dropped the E string on the spot and played the rest in drop D tuning (which I haven't done in ages and it probably shows...). I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed playing this old guitar. It will probably go up for sale on eBay soon. The video was recorded with my Nikon Coolpix 3200 digital camera set on video mode so the quality isn't great (built in mic., etc.), but you can still get a good idea of what this guitar can do. The guitar was plugged straight into my "rig"...a Fender Super Sonic 1x12 combo with an Avatar 2x12 cab...all 3 speakers are Hellatone 30's. Thanks for watching (and reading this far...), feel free to rate and comment.

@TheSanityInspector Thank you...thank you very much!

I'm surprised at the thick tone of the Fender amp. What model is it? Super Sonic? And yes, the SG VS. Les Paul is correct. Don't mind the knit pickers.....they have nothing better to do!

@grindinglicks Man I miss this guitar! It's the 60 watt model but I'm running an Avatar 2x12 cab and all 3 of the speakers are Hellatone 30's (aged Celestion G12H30 70th Ann)...I love this "rig" too...thanks for watching!

@plytoenail which is funny because the info on wikipedia on this subject is actually correct, therefore if he got his knowledge from there, what he knows is correct...
