1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard 9 0435 | Duke Levine | FULL DEMO VIDEO! 

I’m a simple man. I see Duke in the title and I click on the video. Well done as always, Duke

Came for the guitar, stayed for the playing.

Wow, this was some outstanding playing. Absolutely inspiring. A player like him deserves an instrument like this.

It's hard to believe that of the 2500 '59 Les Pauls ever made, only 3000 are still around.

Always love a mellow player over the flashy shredding. Such a nice dynamic🤘🏼

Lovely playing 👌

amazing player and sound.

Beautiful playing, beautiful Les Paul, and absolutely gorgeous studio!

What a beautiful tone !

Fantastic!!!!

Masterful playing.

Beautiful Playing!

Amazing👍🎸

Very nice !!!1

Got that tele on steroids sound that to me is the great vintage LP sound

Wow, a usable neck pickup!

Bliss

Remarkable?! Sounds just like mine 2011 Traditional just looks significant poorer of my Desert Burst?!😅

What’s with all the goofy camerawork . . . Just show the freakin guitar for Les Paul sake . Do we need to see a shirt pocket ? Sad

So nice to hear a Les Paul - any Les Paul - demoed in a way that actually reveals the character of the instrument, instead of with roaring distortion. Very tasteful playing. Thank you.

The most memorable seven minutes of music I've heard in a long time

Fantastic playing! That clean tone is incredible

Could listen to this all day, what an amazing, tasteful player 🔥

best demo of any Gibson LP ever in my opinion

Duke is tops. The guitar is beautiful and his playing would make anything sound great. Just happens to have a stellar guitar as well.

Sure of the smoothest, cleanest,and best playing I’ve heard in quite a while!❤

Maybe the best 59 Tone Check on YT! Explored all the positions and classic tones and didn’t over saturated every position with distortion. Listeners could actually HEAR what the guitar sounds like! Well Played by a Master of Technique & Tone!

After more than 60 years, despite the technique and technology it is not possible to produce guitars with a similar sound. This proves that man, the craftsman always wins over machines and the damned productivity always sought after (and this is an absolute evil) by guitar manufacturers who spend millions on bulls**t like advertising, inclusion, sociality and less in preparation and support of labor.

Woods or pickups or both? Which is its secret and why some original 59 Les Paul sound "average" and others oustanding rectius Bonamassa collectable?

What an absolutely beautiful sounding and well intonated Les Paul,..along with some of the best guitar playing you will ever hear.

Amazing playing! Of course the Guitar looks perfect and legendary! But i would be nothing with out playing on!

P-90 sounds can remind me of a good PAF Humbucker. There's a bit more clarity and sting than let's say Gibson's 57 Classic Humbuckers, but more noise too.

Nothing like an old 59 to get your creative juices flowing. Too bad that they're six and sometimes seven figures to acquire them.

Pretty sure that color top was created by God himself. Absolutely stunning.🤘🏼

How amazing is it to experience the fantastic playing and sublime tones of such iconic guitars.

Oh that's a beautiful sound. How our brains come up with this stuff is beyond me.

Sorry.... aber machmal kommt mir der Gedanke.... die Gitarre klingt wie jede andere gute Gitarre in x beliebigen Händen.... erst ein Könner erweckt sie zum Leben

Thank you for the clean tone tutorial. To hear the real difference, we have to hear the acoustic and clean sound.

That what the Guit-Box should sound like.

Please keep making videos just like this one!

à 01.19 le morceau est sublime

Well now that was just lovely wasn’t it.

Amazing playing ✌️🔥👏thanks 🙏

So few in the world, sought by so many. The stradavarious of the electric guitar

Those videos are GREAT. But too short. They should be 3 hours...

Very nice clean tone, duke sure knows his way around a guitar. Bought a collings from this guys demo lol keep it up :)

The good ones always make it look easy sound great…Duke did it all on an original Burst! Bad Ass!

Wonderful video! May I ask about the pedals? Especially with the Marshall?

What a truly beautiful guitar, that said it takes a truly considered and reserved player to bring out its gems. Throughly heart yearning playing. Beautiful on every level

The emotion of the player amplified so beautifully through this old piece of wood with strings on it. How lucky are we?

Nope I'm a loyal epiphone man especially after JC Curliegh Restored Epiphone back to premium in 2019/2020..I have 2021 high end Epiphones posted on my channel with specs so there's no debate

Less is soooo much more👍

Gonna go out on a limb and offer ya $100 cash money no wait $150 Let’s send the children home. Will you take $150 cash money today for the guitar??

it would sound better through a dimed marshall double stack and a boss metal zone pedal

GNR. Guitar nerds rule. I’m glad I went down the rabid rabbit hole this morning. Two hours in. skip Spence on now

OMG Beautiful

Beautiful guitar but the playing is even more impressive. He could make a plank sound good.

Good God that was satisfying, what a delicious, beautiful sounding guitar 🙏🏻 dose JB know about this Holy Grail 🙈 👍🏻👍🏻

Приятная игра. Жаль, что не было примера звучания гитары в усилитель AC15. Но всё равно. Крайне эстетичное видео

Sensational playing. Beautiful sounding & looking ‘59. Great video!

You can go out for a bite to eat, and it'll still be playing!

Incredible tone!! What an amazing guitar! Nothing beats a real 59!

allways wondering what is the real sound from a Early Les Paul

it's sound so nature.mid range warm and chunky❤

That thing really sang plugged into the Marshall

One of my favorite tasty players....great tone and touch.

It is the player not the guitar.

Very Peter Green-ish playing and tone in the beginning. Really really nice!

You can't get that woody tone with modern guitars

0:50 to 1:10 the sad masterpiece

Such beautiful playing.

Awesome organization

Nice guitar nice playing ... simple as

Good heavens...Yes

Lovely playing ❤

can't tell apart from my Chibson in terms of sound

tears straight tears

Mississippi Queen

Great player!

Very nice Duke! Thanks!

Crazy skills, this cat has!

Amazing

Uau

Very nice...

Goosebumps....

Gibson only made 648 '59 Standard 'Bursts.' The suggested retail price was $307.50. I would be embarrassed to admit what I paid for my 2014 Custom Shop '59 Burst Reissue, but I lusted after it my whole life, I love it like it was a sweet, beautiful woman.

Es esa

The intonation alone on that bad boy is amazing

Strap button at 2:16 never seen anything like that before, anyone have any ideas of what it is?

Wow! Thank you for showing these wonderful clean tones! I often wonder why only a few players show what a Les Paul can also sound like. Love my Goldtop, but this guitar sounds crazy good!

How amazing guitar sound! But best amazing is prayers skill. Thanks warm and soft sound. From Japan.

I wonder if it was presented as a Chinese replica, how many people would bash it simply because they aren't really listening and saying some guitar is a 1959 LP automatically is going to get likes for it no matter how it sounds. This amp doesn't sound very good to me, sounds like printed circuits. I did a test RU-vid video not that long ago with one of my replica PAF sets in a vintage Elitist LP made by Gibson in JAPAN, and asking people to guess what year vintage 'Burst it was. All of them made guesses what year it was and none of them could tell it wasn't vintage at all. The mythology of vintage Les Pauls runs really deep now. Back in the early 60's they were only worth about $300 and nobody thought they were anything special......until a couple famous players scooped them up, and with their TALENT and the great tube amps of the time, turned them into being worth more than gold. Getting that sound is not impossible at all.

What a clean sound!!!! I can’t stop listening! I also have a 59 (well, a Murphy lab heavy aged) through a Victoria 20112, it’s simply an eargasm!🙌🏽🤩
