You asked for it; here it is. A video about my clean, lightweight, vintage '69 Les Paul Custom, sibling to the Biscuit. I've had several old Customs. They are generally reliable workhorses, even if they are usually pretty heavy. I had a '73 LP that weighed almost 11 lb when Uncle Larry put this guitar up for sale at his erstwhile shop, 2nd Gear Used Music, in Berry Hill. I remember hearing this guitar on sessions with him and in a few of his early YouTube videos he posted before his channel really blew up. Such a great guitar. A hair over 9 lb. Everything is original except one tone pot (and maybe the output jack plate??). I'll tell y'all the story of how I got it, and I'll play it on a couple tracks. Thanks for hanging out!
