1958 Gibson Les Paul Jr. | Guitar of the Day

[@fluroflash2803]

I am so lucky I live in another country. If I was anywhere close to Norm's shop I would be broke

[@skyking228]

FedEx? UPS? USPS?

[@gr1m805]

Sky King Those are U.S. only and besides, Broken Headstocks suck

[@chadmoran5545]

Aaron Reprek no, FedEx express ships internationally. Rather quickly too.

[@gr1m805]

Chad Moran Huh, I didn't know that

[@fluroflash2803]

Also don't really buy guitars online. Personal choice, I don't enjoy it as much

[@tooties545]

That guitar & amp combo was suweeet.

[@allkinds1069]

Achilles I couldn't get enough I fucking loved the tone

[@tooties545]

Yeauh!

[@johnhmaloney]

Now, that sounds like rock and roll. For a guitar and amp made way before anyone was using distortion, they distort beautifully. I can't believe that they were intended for beginning players.

[@nickjackson6375]

John Maloney Go out and buy a p90 guitar now! They are badass. Fuck what you heard lol

[@MrRbillharz]

Buy a late "50"s or early "60"s LP Junior while they're still affordable. Or one of the early large horned Epiphones like the one Keith plays.

[@MrLittleSpini]

XS4EYES Keith Richards plays in Gibson

[@MrLittleSpini]

rombusrockeriasucks so he played in epiphone casino fender strat tele etc when I say "plays in Gibson" I talk junior model

[@GuitarExpress]

Can´t believe that guitar was in my house today! (I live in Chile)

[@unknown.24]

Grande tío guitar!

[@PintsofGuinness]

yoo i did NOT expect that amp to sound so nice. its quite the chunker.

[@montys8th]

It seriously doesn't get much better than this. Saw Keef shirt, got excited, was not disappointed. Thank you Mark for playing my two favourite Keef riffs of all time. For that pure rock tone all you need is a dimed P90.

[@mrstaggerlee1979]

One pickup to rule them all.

[@chavoxo50]

This short video is a clear demonstration of why I love music, guitars, and rock n roll.

[@noversibirsk]

about 17 years ago i almost bought a 58 les paul jr double cutaway, he wanted $400 for it, i was 14, i passed it up, i still regret it

[@guitarmedia9171]

Camera mic or not that is by far the best tone i have ever heard on this channel!

[@Terryomalleyonline]

Good lord best sounding rig we have heard from guitar of the day. Perfect tone!

[@brucedelaney9606]

What a sound! Absolutely perfect Stones Tone.Mark is a great player.... Love Norm’s

[@surfneptune]

What a fantastic combo! Mark should own that! He seems inspired... that was the best tone and playing of all the videos. Jr and Special double cuts are so underrated.

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

Wow! I want it!

[@rocksully]

OMG. My head is in the clouds over this.

[@cirnesongs8962]

Yay!!! Great, fun episode or the award winning "Guitar of the Day" mini-series..

[@DowntownDogMan]

BY far the best tone, playing and song choices of any of these videos. Props!

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy Strat-less day! Luv the Keef t bro!

[@matthewpaluch777]

riff #1 Brown Sugar the Rolling Stones riff #2 Can't you hear me Knocking the Rolling Stones

[@mitchellhughes5180]

Matthew Paluch Yes, we know.

[@willparker547]

mark has the best job ever

[@andy4731]

Now that's how you rock out the week and in to vacation! Combo sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@warpighammer621]

I have a problem with my Flying V .! Every time I play it the damn thing gets all wild and flys away .

[@musictheorybreakdown8370]

The Jr is a gift from rock gods. Less knobs = more deliciousness. This combo was perfect.

[@peterthomas3589]

This is it! THE Rock`n Roll guitar;-) Can`t you hear me knocking?

[@doobiederek1642]

Song 1 brown sugar Song 2- can't you hear knocking

[@oliverle8438]

I wish you could like KZbin videos more than once, because this deserves like a million!!!!!!

[@matthewdonavan7913]

Going to really miss this for a week! Enjoy your vacation NRG team....

[@chema884]

this is my favourite episode ever

[@davidallen346]

That tone is purrrfect

[@sullyb23511]

Double cut Led Paul Junior in Heritage Cherry finish is my dream guitar. 😎👌✊✌

[@stevesipocz6987]

After vacation let's see Jen play a little. 🎶🎸

[@JtotheP68]

Just a lovely tone from that amp and guitar, best video yet, thank you xx

[@haydennurse9480]

Hey Jen and Mark, I have watched every episode of your amazing channel since i discovered it a month ago. This is by far my favourite episode because it has the orginal amp included. That is the true full product and it is amazing. I am very sad that i have to wait another week to see the best content on the internet again. Keep it up!

[@MrHattrick63]

Love this guitar

[@Geronimo122]

I like the simple things in life-- straight, no chaser. This rocks!

[@dandecrosta6415]

you just never cease to amaz what a great combo you rule as always

[@jimdavignon]

Finally a different amp! And it delivers. Great sound from that Jr with that little old combo

[@TheUltramicroscopic]

That amp sounds amazing

[@wjniemi]

Great demo. I'm putting a visit to your shop on my bucket list.

[@KnedCBaker]

sweet demo and lesson all in one! very nice!

[@MichaelMcGlynns]

Sounds incredible.

[@aphexteknol]

Hands down my favorite guitar of all time. Something about red double cutaway Juniors makes my knees weak...

[@MrJohnboy301]

That amp combined with that guitar sounds more killer than the "stock 4X10 Hot Rod Deville with all the EQ's at noon and a little bit or reverb"! Seriously though, killer guitar and killer amp!!!

[@geetarbube]

Love, love, love juniors!

[@MrRbillharz]

My "57" Junior came with a tweed Gibson "Titan" amp! Still has the original tubes with "Gibson" printed on them.

[@yinyangja]

I think that's Mark's kinda of guitar. Simple. Just turn it up. Fun. Thanks Mark & Jen :)

[@GilGuerraIII]

Man I gotta say those are really great "Stones" chops. You sound just like him and it's not just the gear.

[@lemonpi3386]

Omg that Guitar + Amp sound sooo good! Me thinks Keith would smile at that sound :P

[@jordansolorio9572]

Love the videos you guys make. Interesting to watch and learn about all these cool guitars. 👍🏼

[@michaellanglie5502]

great combo, sounds even better in person. pure, simple. Love that shit !!

[@SharkFaceKilla]

god damn man i've wanted a junior for years, and that thing is just beyond beautiful

[@ireneruthfox]

Jr's are Rock & Roll machines......Nothing beats a P90 on full.

[@bepperock9970]

It so obvious that Mark's favourite guitar is the Les Paul Junior... when he plays one of them, he's on fire!

[@jasoncarpenter4384]

sounds amazing!

[@joaodanieldemello2137]

Best amp used in the show.. what a sound

[@HHHTheGame01]

That's a hell of an amazing sound

[@peterpetruzzi]

Wow, that tone was so good I could taste it. Crunchy and meaty, but still crystal clear and articulate.

[@kaidensnider5500]

God those guitars are amazing, just shows how great simplicity is.

[@glennevans5824]

Sounds sick nice find......with the amp it's crazy sick.

[@SuperTheguys]

hope you'll sell them as a pair so that they stick together!

[@guitardudeguy3139]

Have fun on your vacation! Be safe!

[@martywilkinson6722]

That's one sweet combo!

[@matthew4172]

always wanted a junior, might see if gibson bring one out in the 2018 lineup

[@nickjackson6375]

Great vid guys. The holy grail of LP Jrs. More p90 guitars. The world needs to be educated on how great they are.

[@danpfeifer7618]

Best amp sound ever used for GOTD.

[@IbervilleMusic]

that was awesome! Guitar of the day needs more amp diversity!

[@Tom-gv7hc]

Well I mean I see why they use the same amp, it's kinda like having a "control" in the experiment so you can compare the guitars, to make sure you dont sway a guitar from looking worse when the amp is really the reason it sounds better than the other.

[@Adipsia1]

Wonderful guitar...

[@jamesorrell7462]

The coolest guitar on guitar of the day so far

[@jamesorrell7462]

And with the amp it creates the coolest sound ever!

[@Chris66JTM45]

Killer sounds from an awsome yet so simple dog ear P90 LPJr/GA5 amp combo. Tube crunch & chime came across really well in your recording. What was it with late 50's Gibsons especially Juniors that made them the tone monsters they still are.

[@darrtetzy]

Buy them together - goddamned shame to split up, pair that sounds that good!

[@italiannameportugueseguy5400]

This was massive!

[@celebritygravehuntingadven2737]

no eq at noon, just on and off.

[@aevillarreal]

Ryan Burke I was about to comment exactly that.

[@tiki_trash]

loud and louder

[@kxmrock]

The Riff's/Tone sound just like the Album

[@unsexynstupid]

Love your shirt Mike - Keith rules!!!!!!!

[@gusdupree9076]

that amp and that guitar ,now that's how all marriages should be, and man that open G tuning just rings

[@adamconstantine1984]

simply amazing man! wow I wish I knew how sick these guitars were back when I had the money for a good one

[@johnnybravoski7048]

Dammit Mark! Enjoy the vaca. When you return, I wanna see you play some classic Ramones on a tennis racquet plugged into a toaster. Bring it!!!

[@JSRG69420]

Beautiful

[@robertscottpurse1]

That was the best Guitar Of The Day Ever !!!

[@superdriver777]

Man, that is *THE* sound!!!! I wish I had thousands of dollars....

[@justinhorton278]

bad ass jr and the amp sounds great that dude mark agnesi can jam.

[@ProfessorHumblesDelusions]

Damn I need to visit this store!

[@DMMeier66]

want it!

[@megatrends]

Monster tone!!!!

[@Nickpaflas]

What an axe. Rock n roll. What's it go for? Love those little champs and the like. After about halfway up, they don;t really get louder, they just compress to mushy goodness.

[@TheKyleNelson]

Damn that sounds way better than I thought it would.

[@defaulttoprime]

yup... best episode ever... :)

[@HereandThereWeGo]

What a great sound, 5 watts does the job..the speaker looks more like 8 inch if original,..

[@TroubadourJuggernaut]

sick !!!!!!!!!!! wow, wow, wow

[@NickMass35]

best yet

[@YeatzeeGuitar]

best tone you've had yet!

[@davidshiloach1911]

Riffing Stones wearing a Keef shirt. COOL!

[@brookebrownwv]

T-shirt game is on POINT

[@stratpac]

Hi.If you want to hear a 58 Les Paul Jr in action you can't do better than to check this track out. Recorded in1964 (ish) by a great little 3 piece English band - the Pirates. These were the backing band for a British pop icon 'Johnny Kidd' who had a number of top 10 hits in the UK. He's not on this track - the Pirates got to record a couple of tracks on their own and these were released on a single 45. Didn't chart but I bought a copy and so did all the musicians I knew at the time as the Pirates were by far the best 'smokin' combo around. Just listen to the oh so tight bass and drums and over them - Mick Green on his Les Paul Jr. Remember, this was 1964, no effects, just guitar straight into the amp. I had the pleasure and privilege of seeing the pirates live around this time and I can vouch for the sheer uniqueness of Mick Green's percussive playing style - you couldn't stop nodding your head like a demented chicken when listening to him play. Gibson LP Jr, straight into a Fender piggy back Bassman (white Tolex) with the back removed from the speaker cabinet. These things were only about 30 Watts but it would blow your head off.Anyway, have a listen. Check out Mick Green R.I.P

[@simonconnell7256]

stratpac . Hi . What is the name of the track by the pirates. Cheers

[@alecmcjarison999]

that was Duane Allmans first electric guitar

[@robertfrippers]

Amazing

[@Finkardop]

so were these guitars sold to beginners back then? kinda like what squires are today.

[@offbeatbassgear]

Yup, that's the 50s and 60s equivalent to a squier bullet

[@robmackay78]

That my fellow GOTD fans, is what you call a straight up rock n roll machine...

[@shivaumesh1129]

I'm glad that the guitar case is not made of real crocodile skin. And that guitar and its original amp sounds amazing. "Brown Sugar" and "Can you hear me knocking" are both great sounds from an awesome Stones record. I remember when I heard both of those songs live. Have a great week off. You rock Mark Agnesi.

[@guitardudeguy3139]

wow ! That little amp kicks! Was that before they did the TV yellow versions?

[@davidkieltyka9]

The TV finish started earlier with the single-cut LP Specials & Jrs. The "normal" finish was a sunburst. I think the cherry finish became standard with the double-cut, then carried over to the SGs.

[@guitardudeguy3139]

David Kieltyka Yeah I figured, thanks..I had a sunburst junior when I was younger..we played that thing til the frets were scalloped, naturally!

[@SonicRave1]

That amp sounds so much better than the hotrod he usually uses!
