Gibson 1958 Les Paul Jr. Double Cut Reissue | Guitar of the Day

[@lamontprospect9974]

In 10 lifetimes I could never play as well as this man. A truly gifted player.

[@snapfinger1]

Into a 50 watt Marshall with a Sunn 12” cabinet. Mississippi Queen, she taught me everything.

[@samadams1076]

That is some blue collar shit, right there. the back bone of rocks roll! I love it!

[@Gratefulman1965]

“Somebody get me a doctor” “Ain’t talkin’ bout love” whew! Thanks Mike! For a couple minutes there, I was thirteen again.

[@kevinleighton7255]

Wow, that Jr is an absolute rock machine! Fantastic playing ▶️ 👏 Brilliant 👏 👌 👍🏻

[@ericbgordon1575]

Just like Mark Agnesi before him, Michael Lemmo very easily makes me remember why I became a guitar player. That doesn't mean either of them could sell me on picking up a model that I wasn't really interested in, no matter how much either of them could make this one totally rock. It's just that Michael and Mark are both awesome players. I miss seeing Mark during GOTD uploads.

[@barackmycat9448]

That`s what I like to see someone play. It means they know how to.

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

Your hands are flowing today! Eddie just smiled

[@vancenorsworthy4773]

Give the exact same guitar and amp set-up to a thousand “normal” guitarists and they could never reach Lemmo’s level of control, touch, or attack. Brilliant! (and I’m not even British).

[@CNFir-fs6zs]

Good haircut Lemmo. Had a few of these, single and double cutaway, yellow and red, in the 70's. Only one at a time, traded and sold them. Cool guitars.

[@timwysocki6837]

Wow that’s the sound of rock n roll…

[@anthonycraig1458]

At last! A "guitar of the day" that I can finally say I've already got one! Great guitar although I think a single cut Junior might just beat it.

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

Oh man! LPJr DC P-90, that’s the ticket for sure. Great job Michael

[@thrashinwebster]

Those volume swells were really rad Mike’ haha’ nice one bro ✌️💪🎸🔥

[@redline2115]

If anyone has any doubts on why the double cut Jr’s are awesome, just listen to Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on Lou Reed’s Rock and Roll Animal.

[@j7cc]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate you ! Hang in there L.A. ✌️🎶💕

[@jltrem]

I hate seeing these...because I want one so badly.

[@rlarsen4562]

Holy shit, great demo

[@Relayer6a]

I used to have a ES-125TC, single neck position dog ear P90. I didn't use the tone control much. I did on occasion roll the tone all the way down for the "woman tone". But for the most part it was volume, which changes the tone depending on how much you roll it off, and more so, where I strummed and picked. Pick close to the bridge with the volume cranked for a biting lead tone and closer to the neck with the volume rolled off for rhythm. The closer to the neck and the more "bell like" the tone became.

[@dennisjonescentral]

Never been a fan of P90s but damn it sounds great!

[@Buddy969]

Nice chops Lemmo

[@Sean_Plays_Guitar]

I have had Junior G.A.S. for like a year now. This is not helping. Owning this might help. Now...I just need to find all that money I ha...oh damnit...kids took it LOL. Great playing Michael!

[@mikeloeffler2801]

Way to go Lemo I love Eddie Van Halen looking forward to the next video too bad I can’t say go Phillies they’re done rock on brother👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@3cardmonty602]

Michael got a haircut. I’d like to see Michael with a Crewcut one day.

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

Not sure if Lemmo looks like a priest or Tony Iommi. Either way I dig it.

[@VideoHero]

opening shots - that new haircut and that black top = Priest 🙏🏻 should play judas priest

[@billw8648]

Lookin sharp Lemmo. The guitars not bad either!

[@tomfoolery2082]

Yes sir just like tht .

[@timwysocki6837]

Do you have a pedal engaged?

[@slicksalmon6948]

I used to own a ‘59 and sold it for peanuts in the 90s.

[@benjaminfowler4513]

Really dont understand why epiphone doesnt do a double cut jr, they would be incredibly popular i think

[@davidturner9266]

Adios mios❤

[@Floyd037]

wOw !

[@josephbushey2791]

What happened to Brandon?

[@richardschley4110]

[@rlarsen4562]

I sold my real 58 LPJr for $250 to buy my first car. A life-long regret

[@docdaytona108]

Can someone please explain the continued appeal of these things, single or double-cut? They look like projects for a high school woodshop / electronics class final. I get personal nostalgia for those of you old enough, but compared aesthetically to just about any other Gibson model, they aren’t even close. And I think the ‘maximum minimalism’ rationale sounds suspiciously like stock hipster contrarianism.

[@looking_33]

It's a gibson from their desirable 50s-60s golden age that are more affordable, more available, made by the same people, use the same pickups. Some people also just prefer the tone of the Jrs. or even the simplicity, such as an esquire. Would you say the telecaster is also a high school woodshop project? Because the origins of it are much more akin to that. Set necks and angled headstocks on the Jrs. are still much more difficult to make than telecasters.

[@docdaytona108]

@@looking_33 I can’t argue that the Telecaster is a comparably primitive electric guitar, but I will say that its form, as devoid of frills as it is, is substantially more timeless and enduring. I realize that’s subjective, but I also feel confident that’s been the consensus over the decades. I also don’t care for “pawn shop guitars,” i.e., older guitars from obscure brands, with especially quirky offset bodies, clunky controls, and four lipstick pickups, so I’m clearly not the target audience for a guitar like this.

[@Panic42000]

Have you ever played one? The appeal is not everyone has the same taste as you. I have one of these and they sound and play amazing. The telecaster also has nothing to do with this guitar. You can’t even compare the two.

[@Lord_of_the_Edgelords]

Ain't NO way that Super Reverb is cranking out that tone without some outboard help, especially not sitting two feet away from it. What pedal is Lemmo goosing it with?
