You asked for it; here it is. A video about my clean, lightweight, vintage '69 Les Paul Custom, sibling to the Biscuit. I've had several old Customs. They are generally reliable workhorses, even if they are usually pretty heavy. I had a '73 LP that weighed almost 11 lb when Uncle Larry put this guitar up for sale at his erstwhile shop, 2nd Gear Used Music, in Berry Hill. I remember hearing this guitar on sessions with him and in a few of his early YouTube videos he posted before his channel really blew up. Such a great guitar. A hair over 9 lb. Everything is original except one tone pot (and maybe the output jack plate??). I'll tell y'all the story of how I got it, and I'll play it on a couple tracks. Thanks for hanging out!

0:00 Welcome! I’ve been playing this old Custom a lot more lately…
0:54 Here’s the story of how I got this guitar
2:30 an aside: you can hear this guitar in some of Tom’s early videos
3:30 Back to how I got this…
5:25 Check out this crazy rectangle case this guitar came in
6:21 Enough talk; here’s what this gem sounds like
7:12 Differences between this and later Les Pauls
10:13 Let’s use it in a track in the key of C#, but I’m not going to tune down
13:19 Now let’s use it on a COMPLETELY different track
17:17 I did try modding one thing, but I put it back to stock
18:14 Thanks for hanging out! Please SUBSCRIBE
