I have a 3 gibson guitars an explorer, an sg and my les paul which is my favourite out of them. It is a 1962 Les Paul and I rate these guitars 10/10 anyday.
The Gibson Les paul is hard to beat and I will bet the 1962 Les Paul you have is very sick indeed. Those Humbuckers from those years are full of wonderful rich overtones and harmonics. Thanks for sharing that with us Andrew.
