1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior demo

A demo of a guitar I have borrowed for a few weeks - an original 1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior.
I am using a Lazy J 20 amplifier with a Toneking Ironman II mini and have the amplifier about half way and backing off the volume and tone to get some sounds and trying to give an impression of how this fantastic and historic guitar sounds.

I am using 2 microphones: an SM57 and Rode NT1-A just off the centre of the cone and using no additional processing or reverb. The Lazy J 20 has reverb and it's pretty good really but the mix can be dependent on how saturated the amp is but it's just the guitar into the amp via a nice curly cable.
I go into some comparative details between this and my 2019 re-issue on my website so have a look for photos and description.
