Gibson Les Paul Supreme Demo (w/Fender/Avatar/Hellatone rig)
Friday, February 20th, 2009
Here’s a 2005 Gibson Les Paul Supreme played through my Fender Super Sonic amp with an Avatar 2×12 extension cab. All 3 speakers are 12″ atone 30’s. The guitar was plugged straight into the amp and there are no effects used at all besides the built in tube gain/ditortion…not even reverb. Any differences in sound are from either the controls on the guitar, or my dynamics in playing…or possibly from standing in front of the camera and blocking the speakers sound from getting directly to the built in camcorder microphone. This guitar features a chambered Mahogany body between an Arched (AAAA grade Flamed) Maple top and back…Mahogany neck and Ebony fingerboard round it out and it is extremely dressed up…inlays, binding, gold hardware…and it sounds better than it looks! It plays great, sustains forever, is incredibly resonant with very controllable feedback characteristics…I had my amp cranked…it was shaking almost everything in the house! I’ll be putting this up for sale on eBay very soon. Thanks for watching and feel free to comment and correspond.

Video # 4 Very rough as the (old) camera and inexpensive Marshall Bass amp don’t do the Bass justice…but you can get an idea of the range of tones that it is capable of. I think I shook every picture on the wall and anything else not bolted down in the room. The Bass was plugged straight into the amp and I basically ran the amp “flat” with only a slight amount of mids pulled out. All the tonal changes you hear are coming from the controls on the bass. I’ll be very impressed if anyone can guess where the beginning bass riff is from…
Here’s a cool old Made in Korea Epiphone Les Paul Special guitar by Gibson for you to check out. Same setup as usual…plugged straight into my Fender Super Sonic amp with a 2×12 Avatar cab & all atone 30 speakers. No effects besides the built tube gain/distortion…still unrehearsed jamming/talking & explaining…pointing out features and flaws/dings, etc…still fun! If I forgot anything, just ask…
