In the annals of Gibson Les Paul players, Charlie Starr is an aficionado.

Starr’s stable has been stocked with some of the sharpest old-school LPs on earth, and he’s got a particular predilection for Juniors.

But what sets one Paul apart from another? Starr, Rhett, and Zach go down every rabbit hole in their hunt to nail down what makes a particular Gibson great, including misconceptions around P-90s and their relationship to PAFs, Juniors versus Standards, and whether wood and total construction have a big impact on tone.

Some players argue that the sound is all in the pickups; tune in to learn why the trio thinks that theory is bunk, right down to the last, least consequential cap.

Plus, find out when Starr thinks Gibson perfected the Les Paul’s neck shape and bridge positioning, how top-wrapping impacts your sound, and a foolproof way to I.D. a legit PAF.

Interviews with Eric Burdon and Harold Brown of the 70s group Eric Burdon and War... on their hit debut single Spill the Wine.

It was one of the biggest songs of 1970.

It was also one of the strangest.

So many urban legends behind this one. Spill the Wine is rumoured to have been inspired by the band members knocking over a bottle of wine on the studio console. The song was hard to interpret. It had Spanish in it, spoken word, and singing only in the chorus, and the lyrics have been sung incorrectly by listeners for years, and it’s probably a good thing, because the actual lyrics are pretty risqué.
