1955 Gibson Les Paul played by Kirk Fletcher

cartervintage....
Stunning example of a '55 Les Paul Goldtop! This piece is in excellent condition and features the more desirable Tune-o-matic bridge. This bridge was first introduced on the model in mid to late '55, replacing the less accurate stud tailpiece/bridge. Loaded with it's original P-90 pickups this Les Paul can cover nearly any genre with ease, from jazz to blues or some of the most iconic sounds in rock and roll. Original case.

[@ericbergmueller2981]

The part I love the most is how fluid he is at maintaining the chord structure and keeping the lead parts going. A pure joy to listen to.

[@bobgnarley1]

When musicians enjoy themselves the whole room has a good time! Thank you Kirk and all at Carter Vintage Guitars.

[@maxpeck4154]

Agreed!

[@maxpeck4154]

He's a fantastic player and seems to be a super nice guy. I click on all things Kirk. That was excellent.

This video Is the best blues lesson on KZbin

[@portsideguitar1981]

That’s amazing. So many tasty licks, played flawlessly by one of the best blues players of our time.

[@davehewlett9249]

Kirk always gets the best tone out of a LP

[@johnstasio6205]

Who needs a band with those two hands?😎

[@boomerdell]

Kirk Fletcher is amazing. I am blown away by how he somehow balances perfectly the killer attack with the most nuanced and subtle touch. Wow.

[@James_Haskin]

I don’t click on every video in my feed from this channel, but I could tell by this guys posture in the thumbnail that he was feeling a certain way. There’s a tenderness to how he attacks the strings. Bravo 👏

[@topografer]

The rhythm this man has..

[@TheBamaKid1962]

Dude is KILLIN IT!!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So much groove! Great shuffle feel Kirk!!

[@3Knobs]

Gotta watch every video with Kirk. Great playing!

[@skovgaard2000]

Hot damn, Kirk is on fire! His time and feel is through the roof

[@lucasvonbraun]

If you get through life without any scars, you haven't lived life .. and if you haven't lived life, you'll never sound like this

[@malcolmrose-zadow5517]

Killer Toan from the King! That thing sounds like a tele that finally became a man

[@Gaslight.Guitar]

Haha good one.

[@macsarcule]

Kirk…. Another magnificent performance! Thank you!

[@damiankacprzak6211]

Amazing guitar (and amp combo) played by a master!! So inspirational 🤘

[@mojogypsy]

It’s always a treat to hear Kirk play!

[@kettlejitsu71]

Kirk is a true blues master. He can play any style of blues. Hes one of the best out there right now. As good as Joe Bonamassa and John Mayer. Most under rated guitarist right now.

[@NotUrBiz]

Not in their league.

[@kettlejitsu71]

@@NotUrBiz disagree bigtime

[@LazarusLonger]

You’re right, he’s not in their league. Compared to KF, those guys are in the minors.

[@tylerwillison4962]

Amazing playing as always. One of the greats from my generation.

[@johnsmith-bk4ps]

Wow. Now I know why jb hired him...pure admiration . Dudes awesome

[@devincrinklaw2104]

He is crazy good. Simple blues so elegantly played.

[@brianreagan1349]

A true master. I enjoy this channel and every artist they showcase has a way of showing just how cool it must be to play such caliber of fine instruments. I keep watching because I know it will be well worth watching. 👍

[@bradleyhuckle7973]

Kirks the man, great player 👌👌

[@yestoES355]

Another perfect example of a fascinating player the excels in lead and rhythm. Awesome playing, and that gold top looks damn nice

[@groovyhippie1165]

Heck yeah, that was awesome!

[@TJJJJJJJJJJJ]

Future GOAT ! 👑 for sure ! Dude is amazing

[@greenbrightly]

Amazing player, I hope you let him keep the LP after playing it like that.

[@stickman55100]

Those sweet P90s, and soulful playing. Just can’t be beat!!!

[@andrewclemons8619]

Just the right amount of superb skill and reverb

[@erwinroman4217]

One of the best! I met him at King Bisquit in Helena Arkansas years ago. Very friendly, chatted a bit then got a couple of pics with him. Coincidence, I was playing a Fletcher tune on my Tele this morning.

[@syfman6]

Beautiful Axe!! 💚🎸

[@RJRonquillo]

Hey Kirk! And Keith!

[@thouston0]

Outstanding!

[@bsherbine]

Hot damn kirk!

[@rudolphpyatt4833]

A great example of the awesome tone available from a P90 Les Paul. Superb playing.

[@LandRoverDefender2005]

Living legend !!!!!! And a great personality as well

[@antlerking69]

Oh yeah that's great Kirk 👍

[@masqacordes]

Kirk you are my inspiration❤️🎸 awesome blues player

[@noelbrian55]

What a guitar….

[@mdub048]

Beautiful playing. Beautiful reverb!

[@wayfaerer320]

The 1955/1956 Les Paul gold top is the sexiest guitar of all time.

[@jasonpitts8395]

That is super efficient playing. Purposely uses chords where the lead is, and plays the lead where the chords are.

[@tlister67]

Man that sound good, playing, tone, and recording

[@mauricerrr]

This is insane playing. Wonderful to see

[@davidcotton6999]

That sounded amazing! What a fantastic player! Wow!

[@shanebrbich5698]

Got to hurry! Got to get another look at that beautiful grain sneaking through the finish! 👍🇦🇺

[@IndridCool54]

That dawg bites! And Kirk rocks the blues!

[@j.d.thompson3505]

Thank You Kirk. I like your style. (Nice guitar too.)

[@danieldelacruz9615]

Man, I need to keep on practicing!

[@bazitube390]

World would end if there is not a big black guy playing the blues. Kirk is the albert/bb king of our generation. Amazing player

[@philm0l]

Perfect tonal quality plus exemplary playing! Is anything else really needed? 🤔🤔👍👍

[@bobabooey4537]

I like Les Pal tone a little warmer.

[@wearethebored]

That's some serious reverb.

[@nelen_co]

Yeah I was wondering how much of that is room reflection vs amp reverb. Sounds awesome

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Fine fine fine 🍒

[@Matt-rk3de]

He’s so good

[@michaelnachoescamilla6241]

That neck pickup.... Full and fat without being bloated. I am not much of a fan of this style music but that is done WELL.

[@pierrepeyronnet6800]

Superbe jeu 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@JudgeFredd]

So good...

[@bayuda3924]

Nice riff n solos too

[@russellcarleton5602]

OK, wow. I literally clicked on this by accident, but.... wow.

[@antreb15]

If I could make it sound like that, I would buy it.

[@larrybethune3909]

This style of playing, the riffs themselves even, are responsible for hundreds of British blues songs in the from 1960-1980. If people knew about Hubert Sumlin back in the day things would be quite different now.

[@mikebarnard2689]

Freddy King vibe 😀

[@sergiourdanetabluesman]

Kirk is a genius

[@josephgrant757]

Kirk playing reminds me of Son Seals, Albert Collins, Roy Buchannan, and alot of Robben Ford

[@Is308enough]

A+

[@borjewahlen6917]

He is a great player with a great guitar. It would be even better with less or without reverb. I am maybe the only one that think so.🙂 Anyway great performance

[@johntaggart6072]

if your scared stay home. the mans a gifted badass

[@denmar355]

KF is awesome! I could use a tiny bit less of the reverb, but otherwise GOLD!

[@scboom374]

phenomenal playing!!! Can trade in 10 of mine for this one????

[@pookachu64]

Is this one of Kirk’s? Trying to recognise it

[@rottenpizza84]

Sounds like some stuff he played with The Mannish boys.

[@ozbluesman]

Great player is Kirk. The gold top is a steal at $75k.
