• 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!

Wanna hear a freejazz-clip with my Les Paul-SG 1961?

If so, here´s one. It´s my band Das Mädchen, with guitar/bass/drums, a saxplayer and one guy on trombone. The bassplayer has been a pro-musician for 35 years. The drummer is interesting; he has played and recorded with Peter Brötzmann and been touring with Cecil Taylor. He has a strange aggressive drive with his playing; as you can hear it´s impossible to play cool and controled when he plays in the background.
Everything on the Les Paul-SG is original except the tuners, and the nut, which is made by mammuth ivory - we´re talking vintage, right? It has its original PAF pickups and the original side-to-side tremolo - see avatar. Versatile guitar, I must say...

PS: It´s necessary to use headphones on loud volume when listening to the clip...

Yes! It makes me happy when people use vintage guitars for new experimental music, and not just the same old stuff (nothing wrong with that either). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all.

I´ve owned and played my LPSG since 1976, and for many years it was my only guitar, so not so strange I still use it for many things.

Soon we´re ready with a new recording with this band, and there I use my Howard Roberts Fusion -97. IMHO, it sounds great too.
