Scott and Brian Robertson ruled at twin guitar team,there harmony leads spawned a new generation

[@SuperRowdyone]

Best rock guitar tandem ever..no doubt!!💯

[@YaoEspirito]

their

[@kelvinnoden3057]

Seen Scott play many times over 35 years magnificent player ..... up there with the very best.

[@agnostic47]

I saw him with Lizzie in 1974. I always rate him along with Mick Ralphs. Faster isn't always better.

[@rickflippin1]

I dig this cat he is just so dang real Thanks for your part in the brilliance of Thin Lizzy When I saw you live I became a working musician thank you for that

[@xurxo12]

the man is a legend

[@CalvinKrek]

Scott Always a nice dude.

[@weejim48]

Agreed, legend. And one of the coolest guys to pick up a guitar.

[@MikeLike8]

This is one hell of a guitar player and beautiful guitar. Scott was super hot playing with Thin Lizzy when I saw him in Detroit.

[@batphink2655]

Scott's been my #@ fave guitarist since about 1976 when I first heard Jailbreak, yeah I'm old BUT cool lol!

[@raydanielz9408]

I still believe that Thin Lizzy didn't get the credit they deserve, and were underrated for their contributions in Rock music. They always had the best axe men in their lineup and the greatest songs with each album that they released.

[@reubster529]

I agree

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

The great Scott, Phil Lynott right-hand man. He should be next president of the USA and how badly he is needed in this job right now, Scott always make complete sense when he talks, he gives the very best advise, would never lead anybody astray, he has some of the very best stories to tell about life in the rock world. A fine upstanding man and a totally brilliant player

[@SuperRowdyone]

Scott was his left hand man!💯

[@alfredalvizo580]

Scott is just a cool guy man

[@FallNorth]

I've a friend with a real old Les Paul. SOOOO heavy, he has a point.

[@emrahercancakir]

Nice. Smooth neck joint is another great feature on this guitar.

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

EMRAH CAKIR Yes indeed. It's unfortunate that it's taken Gibson 100 years to figure this out.

[@willpayne6249]

Soctt Gotham is a Great Guitarist . Nice Guitar . I own a Epiphone Les Paul.

[@thom5517]

My hero

[@bigal4304]

living legend

[@willpayne6249]

Soctt Gotham is a great Guitarist

[@YaoEspirito]

"Soctt Gotham" 😅

[@oldgit4260]

He's great, I just don't agree with a Lizzy without Phil Lynott. It's like a lasagne with no beef.

[@JustK009]

Friday Alibi Amen 🎯

[@precisionbrown6829]

Well you can’t have cream in coffee if there’s no cream

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

He should introduce himself as Scot Gorham formerly of Thin Lizzy AND now with Black Star Riders.

[@GothicXlightning]

that is a sexy angry Guitar man i still love my Black double Cut-away LP for president :)

[@Mickcotton]

Beautiful Guitar. How much does it Weigh ? 5 lb. 6 lb. ?

[@FallNorth]

If you play that guitar, is that then chamber music? Asking for a friend.

[@billslater4531]

What a great guitarist fancy a jam anytime 😊

[@babycharliebrown]

Cheers Gibson. I’ll take your money for the advertising if you don’t mind. Thanks

[@willashfordpayne8354]

It's the Same colour as George Harrison's Les Paul I own a Tabcoobruset Epiphone Les Paul

[@gustavowen6119]

漆面超漂亮

[@jerryfraker377]

Wondering if it has circuit board electronics. I have a gibson traditional les paul with floyd and circuit board electronics. Dont really like the muddy sound and it feeds back real easy.

[@rainerwinkler1026]

Go switch to hand wiring, did the same on my old epiphone it was no big deal... Im glad my new Gibson has hand wired electronics...

[@daveg4236]

You can and should take all that crap out

[@jerryfraker377]

@@daveg4236 I did and sold guitar on reverb.

[@elpablosky6300]

For the love of god , why everybody takes a les Paul with Floyd rose and speak about the idea of Floyd rose ( please that was idea of Neal Schon from Journey) and later from Def Leppard (Steve Clark )RIP , copy the idea and later more guys even Brad Gillis on 1983-4 , Dave Amato (Reospeedwagon ) , Steve Hackett ( ex Genesis ) Robert Fripp ,Alex Lifeson, Joe Perry and more calling the word “ I get the idea “ and Neal install this on 1980 (late ) and on 1981 recorded Journey Escape with this guitar a Black Les Paul deluxe white pick guard p90 neck pickup and a black humbucker on the bridge later on 1983 install on another lp and this time another blue lp and the same story and 1 year ago he comebacks with Gibson ( he buy a lot Lp axcess the neck of the guitar haves a contour Neal’s idea and on 2005 finally Gibson gives his signature lp Custom series limited edition unfortunately only 80 guitars worldwide and this guitar equipped with different knobs position like a PRS singlecut , Seymour Duncan bridge pickup, dimarzio singlecoil on the neck and a sustainers fernandes on the neck too looking like a humbucker both pickups ( neck pickup +sustainer pickup ) and the Floyd rose original version , push pull are filters for singlecoil pickup mode and a wah wah internal circuit on his guitar not the signature model that situation is very unfair because Neal never get the credit only Alex Lifeson do this and Gibson on 2009 said to Neal : your model is very expensive to build even Les gives his blessings before that incident and Neal comeback with PRS playing his singlecut models and McCarty all with Floyd and sustainers and a synth Roland pickup on the bridge this only installed on McCarty models ( on 80’s he played a Roland guitars G-505 Strat style guitar on Escape 1981 recorded the song “Who’s Crying now “ given the acoustic synth tone , Neal months ago said to fans :” I’m must be ask the credit for the Les Paul axcess guitar ? Many people say “: Yes of course “ that is like another guitar player makes a Ibanez like Satriani or Vai model and build without the monkey grip . Is extensive but people must be know how companies stole the ideas and later many guys said that is my guitar dream ( ideas or something like that ) Neal maybe makes a Definitive Version .🙏

[@daveg4236]

Pablo...ramble much?

[@jerryfraker377]

I dont like chambering.

[@ronnienose8608]

Love the smooth neck join, but a Floyd on a Les Paul just looks wrong.

[@paulcooper5748]

Maybe but if it works for scott whos to say otherwise hes an awesome player.

[@bobolsen8067]

Love Scott but that guitar sounds bad to put it mildly.
