Posted on January 30, 2010 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

Let’s all ooh and ahh over Gibson’s latest 50th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard from the Custom Shop. This is a faithful recreation of the original 1960 model down to the smallest detail.

Posted on January 29, 2010 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

Wow folks….this little amp is a really far stretch from the original Fender Woody amps of the late ’40s! It is more than a digital amp in my opinion. It is more like a “computer” amp. Any of you guys following me know that I’m a pretty traditional type guitar player but I’m always curious […]
