was just reading a story last night about how rare this color is on these 50’s les pauls. apparently only one guy at the plant did this color and he wasn’t supposed to. he mostly did the hollow bodied guitars. when les pauls did come his way, even if they were supposed to be sprayed cherry they’d come out finished brown because it’s what he thought a gibson aught to be finished in.
@bluesroom1 if you look up “was the tobacco burst color an original 1958 color” on lespaulforum you’ll find a discussion and an excerpt from a book telling how this very rare les paul finish came to be.
@@unclefungus7395But this is not what they called “bourbon burst”, one of the colours that gibson use in these days for R8? A sort of darker version of the cherry that in this case faded into a more brown tobacco style?
Meh... probably an unpopular opinion, but do you actually hear the subtle nuances of a guitar like this through a cranked Marshall? Cranking a Marshall with a great Les Paul is awesome, don't get me wrong, but a good R8 or R9 would likely sound exactly the same in that scenario.
@@nickfanzo Nothing beats the originality of a Les Paul shredded through a Marshall. It's not like every LP video is like that. Meanwhile, tastefull playing with low-medium gain is apparently done by every guy that has ever seen a guitar. It's a good demo, plenty of LP through Marshall videos and albums
What is an Amsterdam Burst? Seems like it is so named after the city where it resides. Or is this just the birth of another Les Paul myth...? Great tone and playing.
Max, was that a prank? That (beautiful) guitar looks 100% like the ultra light aged, Bourbon Burst Murphy Lab 58…. Not like a REAL 58 that would happen to be in absolutely pristine condition AND be a Bourbon burst, which is an extreme rarity…. So, prank or no prank..?!?!?
The Dutchburst is a completely different one, actually of that last produced Bursts in 1960, shipped to The Netherlands before Gibson stopped the production. It was discoverd in August 2006 when a son of a jazz musician wanted more info from the guitar he had inherited. It even made it to the best-watched current affairs program with the discovery of it.

This blue amp is pretty. But I’d say it’s in tune with the times of today. Like a SOY amp. It’s petite with good tone but at the same time it’s different. And trying to replace the Big Boys. 100w Marshalls etc.
First off, you make all guitars sound good. I've been in the vintage business for over 20 years, so I hear a lot of pauls. The one you're playing does not sound open and transparent as others I've heard. but that can be for various numerous reasons. some pafs were dogs, and some were not. They were hand wound with no consistency. Also , the pots and caps drift over time for the better or worse. Sometimes, we glorify the burst ! Lol...hey, it doesn't sound bad. It sounds like a murphey lab R8 or R9. That's my opinion. What we hear a lot of times comes from how many guitars we have owned or played. Great vid. You sound marvelous, Like always.
