Kasper, that was absolutely terrific ![]()

The tone of your LP is so clear and sweet, and youāre playing extraordinary good - there are really no vocals needed, if there is such a fantastic instrument-guitarist-combination.
I simply love it

Hi Richard, yeah those are standard on this particular model. I guess itās Gibsonās own take on the Seymour Duncan APH-2S pickups. They sound great!
Sounding and looking stunning Kasper, youāve got it dialled and wow, that first note!!
Kasper,
You did not miss the NGD. I keep a low profile due to thieves connecting the internet dots to my place.
Hum, Had I known you were looking for LP, I could have offered you my lightly use LP Heavy. It is not a Slash with Zebra pups and getting it there would have cost a bundle. But on the wall it mostly hangs.
I think the 50ās neck profile is the fat C I speak of?
I looked at the Reflex and sure enough the pots are nothing like on the LP. But I wonder if one could do what you sought vai a pedal. Say you had the Pearly Gate BG pups and then something like the āLa Grangeā pedal to kick in when you want a tone change? You would know better how to achieve that than I and just a thought.
By the way, if anyone is looking for a close to mint LP heavy, PM me⦠LOL
The wall might miss it, but I wonātā¦

Absolutely stunning tone and playing. Iāve never held a LP, but Iāve heard other people say theyāre very ādifferentā to play in some way.
Amazing @Kasper! I really do like watching you make that bad boy/girl sing for ya!!
Hey Kasper, that is great playing! Youād get the nod from GM himself. Very evocative of his style. Are you playing straight into a Marshall for this? Settings?
Looking forward to hearing more of your playing.
Hi Kasper,
Wowā¦Iāve heard this song countless times since the CD came outā¦Iāve heard and seen a cover band play it several times,but no one has come close to what youāre showing AND seeing hereā¦The big man himself would could have played this on a poidium in my ears and I would have listened with my mouth open.
I will pass this on to several of my friends and acquaintances

Greetingsā¦
Fantastic performance!!!
Awe inspiring!
Iām no great fan-boy of solos and tone chasing per se, but always interested to see what folks are up to on their journey and learn a bit along the way. That is a lovely looking guitar, Kasper, and the sound you get out of it is indistinguishable to my ears from the same solo I just listened to Mr. Moore playing in Montreux! Bravo!
i must be learning something, as I noticed the tone change when you switched from the neck to bridge pickup ![]()
Iām glad you decided not to do any of the āvery fastā bits ![]()
My only suggestion would to be include some Moore-styled face-pulling for our entertainment.
Enjoy your new axe, my friend!
Iām a Strat player but got an Epi LP for my 40th but never really got on with it. Trying it on some JG stuff I realised that it was wired wrong and change of pots sorted that. Still not such an easy guitar to play as a Strat but to get that tone you have to suffer. My Epi is solid and weighs a tone!
@Kasper how long have you been playing to achieve that level? I have a couple of Skid Row vinyls featuring GM that I got in the early 70ās. He must have been around 17 when he did them and was good then.

@p4gblue Hi, for this version I played the LP (almost) directly into a Soldano SLO30 - had a little bit of compression/boost going on before hitting the amp, which I always do. But otherwise itās just the pure amp tone + a hint of short delay and a ton of long(ish) hall reverb. The Soldano is somewhat similar to a typical modded Marshall from that era, but quite a bit more āfatā sounding than a stock Marshall. Gary actually played Soldanos for his live shows during the Still Got The Blues time - in the studio, who knows? I think the album tone sounds a bit more thin/sharp⦠so Iām definitely guessing Marshall for that⦠Soldanos sounds GREAT and are incredibly easy to dial in. Basically just set all the knobs at 12 oāclock, and do slight tweaks from there. I think I had slightly less bass and slightly more mids and treble (11 oāclock and 1 oāclock).
@rorystrat Yeah, I heard some of those early recordings as well. I really was into GM as a teenager, trying to collect as many CDs that I could. I was into both his Blues playing, hard-rock playing⦠and even the jazzy/fusion playing in bands like Colosseum II. He was just the greatest! As for how long Iāve been playing - since I was a kid, so feels like all my life ![]()
Wow! Kasper, that was awesome. The guitar sounds fantastic, just like Gary Mooreās and your playing was superb. You can see the guitar looks a little bit chunkier but a small price to pay for that sound.
Hey Kasper, thanks for all the inside info. Helps me feel more accepting of having to use compression/ drivers to get the sound in my head. Iām always fighting the āstraight into the ampā school of thought. Loved your playing, it was so fluid and commanding⦠gave me a living guitar hero to emulate. All the best, Peter.
Wow that was absolutely great ![]()
Hey Kaspar! First time watching one of your videos & WOW! Iām blown away by your talent!!! How long have you been playing? Really superb!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Tod
I set my headphones for listening to your IR CAB sounds and then I found this video! ![]()
What a treat. I donāt know what to say, you left me with my mouth wide open. You can play a guitar man!
Techie discussion about electric guitars and their hardware are way out of scope for me but that performance sounded very, very fine. As good as GM to me.
