• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Don Felder Sig. Reissue Vid!

Route66guitars to my knowledge are not Gibson dealers. They probably bought that guitar for cost from a dealer that was begging them to take it off their hands

Man, that shreddy overdrive tone was horrible. I really don't like that kind of thing. The guitar sounded great clean but then bleugh.

It's not the guitar's fault. What's the point of demoing a guitar if you're going to muffle it like that? What's wrong with pushing valves the old fashioned way? Transparency people!

You can't get that level of overdrive from a non master Marshall without breaking glass or making ears bleed.

No doubt, I own a 70s NMV Super Lead and it breaks my heart how little I get to crank it. But, in this case the drive was way out of the ballpark. Some transparency would sell the guitar better. At that level of gain a Strat or Ibanez wouldn't have sounded too different, let alone demonstrate differences between one Les Paul and another.

I agree. The guitar showed no characteristics. It sounds great cleaner though

If general consensus of the LPF should rule, this guitar sounds inferior to any regular R9 with the bridge and all.

It sounded great up until 0:50.
