• 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!

Love John 5. I'm not much into MM music but he's a monster player and super nice guy too. Man the Mick burst sounds so good and seems to play pretty darn great too, it's the guitar he looked the most comfortable with except for his own telecaster (there's a couple of more videos on the HR youtube channel).

this popped up in my youtube too,
need to take a close look at the burst, grovers-check, mark behind the tailpiece-check, 2 of the identifying features of--yes you guessed it,---BEANO.
I claim my prize.
YMMV, and better eyes may tell a different story.
cheers guys

Is that the one with the distinctive wiggle in the flame above the strings between the pickups?

That's my buddy Jeff in the video. He curates the collection. He wants to do a visit with Joe, that hopefully we can make happen.

Love it that the 1st riff he rips on the 58 LP is Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’.

Great stuff.

Anybody know what that little ditty is that John fingerpicks on the SG? Sounds kinda like an old timey rag
