I’ve attempted to incorporate both Angus & Malcolms guitar parts in this song + I’ve also tried to emulate Bon’s bagpipe solo, which I’ve played on the B and top E strings using a chorus / flanger effect………

this is one of those “birth of rock” guitars that sounds every bit as great today. There are numerous legendary early rock albums with this guitar all over them, most famously early recordings by The Who, like the whole “Live at Leeds”. album… This baby captures that sound brilliantly! The sound of those p90 single coil pickups has bite like a Fender, but is never thin, always fat like a humbucker, a growing favorite pickup type with many famous artists.

This medium weight Les Paul Custom weighs 10.70 lbs. and has a solid mahogany body with a slightly arched top. One-piece mahogany neck with a nice medium profile, a comfortable nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Ebony fretboard with 22 original thin frets and inlaid pearl block position markers. The top of the guitar has seven-ply binding, the back of the guitar has five-ply binding, the headstock has five-ply binding, and the fretboard has single white binding. Headstock with inlaid pearl “Gibson” logo and five-piece pearl split-diamond inlay. Two-layer (black on white) truss-rod cover with “Les Paul Custom” engraved in white. Serial Individual Grover Roto-Matic tuners with half-moon metal buttons. The serial number (”010513″) is inked in yellow on the back of the headstock. Three really hot PAF (double-black) humbucking pickups with very strong outputs of 8.16k, 8.14k, and 7.76k. Five-layer (black/white/black/white/black) plastic pickguard. Four controls (two volume, two tone) on lower treble bout plus three-way selector switch on upper bass bout. Black plastic bell-shaped “Bell” knobs. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic non-retainer bridge with metal saddles and separate stud tailpiece. All hardware gold-plated.The potentiometers are all stamped: “134 6043″ (Centralab October 1960). There is some very light belt buckle scarring on the back of the guitar (nothing down to the wood), a small piece of binding (1/2 inch) is missing from the edge of the headstock just above the “G” tuner. There are a couple of surface chips on the edges of the guitar, the most significant being on the treble-horn where there is also a small (3/4 inch) cut. A few tiny surface marks on the front of the guitar, and some very minor tarnishing to the gold-plated hardware. The original frets show little-to-medium wear. That all said, this totally original ‘60 Custom — with a neck and a sound to die for — is certainly one of the finest that we have ever seen. At just over ten-and-a-half pounds It is on the medium-to-heavy side for a Custom – but the extra weight shows most positively in the sound. This is an amazing one-owner guitar in exceptionally fine (9.00) condition and this is the first time that it is being offered for sale. Housed in its original (very worn) Gibson black pebble-grain “black beauty” hardshell case with orange plush lining (7.50).
