Ask Zac Episode 39 - Why Play A Les Paul?
April 17, 2020
Even though I am a Tele-Guy, there are times where you just need a Les Paul. In today's AZ, I tell how I finagled my way into the Gibson Custom Shop and was able to go through 35 R9 (1959 Reissues) to find the one that checked all the boxes, lightweight, gorgeous top, and acoustically loud. Also, I explain what mods I have done, and what pickups I landed with after a long search.
