1959 Gibson Les Paul Burst Mark Zavon gives 'Freeda' a ride!

WOW

Looks newer than an R9...??

Early Leppard! YES MARK. Love the riffs of those first 2 records

Great to see such a good response to Mark. I think he's doing a great job, but so was Jared, and everyone bitched and whined about him, so I was worried that the same would happen to Mark.

I think plain tops look a lot better. Bursts seem too much like toys to me

Clean! That looks in better condition than my 2019 Les Paul Standard (still love that guitar though)! 😱

What a lucky man to be able to play one

1958-434 (some were gold tops)
1959-643
1960-635
For the nerds.

Great job guys
Glad to see you back again.
More vids please

Maybe I missed it but when I hear 59' LP I was waiting to hear some Gary Rossington from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Had the centerfold from a guitar magazine of that guitar hanging on my wall for years when I was younger.

Yeah that’s a reissue. Cmon FA 2we ain’t stupid.

Vic Dapra knew his Burst. Met him a few times at his store in the Pittsburgh area. No drama dude.

Beautiful guitar -amazing condition for a 61 year old guitar.

Love seeing these vintage beauties

This dude really just played Pantera on an original '59 Les Paul. That's gotta be a first.

When I saw this in my recommended I was like “wow what a throwback” but when I saw that it was uploaded yesterday I got hyped! Glad to see FA back!

No offense to this guy, but they really need Phil back

This looks so much like a modern Les Paul Reissue off the rack.

Even 59' burst needs to be tuned up

Mark is getting better and better each video...this video rocked! FRETTED AMERICANA IS BACK! Great Job Mark!

Great playing from a great guitarist! Although I really can't appreciate it much cuz the overdrive and bass is too saturated. Not much bite. Plus you guys gotta update your camera. A bit too pixelated. And not much dynamic range to play around with. It looks like it was shot in 2010.

The guy that owned that guitar only looked at it for 60 years

That Crazy Train solo earned this vid a SOLID like!

Horrible tone. Sorry.

3 videos in, he’s done a 58 Strat and a 59 LP burst. Pretty good start

How much is the asking price?

I MISS PHIL X

Phill X knows how to tune the guitar

So distorted doesn't pickup any of the 59 paf subtlety

That burst is a beauty

Subscribed to this channel years ago. Love it. For the year or two, I've watched it, but not on a regular basis, popping in and out on occasion. Although, I just found out that Phil X doesn't host it anymore, and I miss him, this new guy Mark, seems like a very cool dude, and he's a Monster on the guitar too. One True Bad Mofo! Gotta start staying in touch with this channel, more often. 😍🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🎶🎶🎶👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

very bad

Glad to see FA back. Mark is cool AF, keep up the good work guys!

Hmm...needs a bit less gain and more tuning.

The “new” 1959 Gibson les paul standard,amazing sound and nice playing!

I love how soft that gradient is!

£350,000.00 guitar £3.5p tuner 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It would be far more enjoyable if the gain on the amp was matched to the song being played.

Good rockin

Too much gain!!!!!!!! Its a 59 les paul FFS. Playing Led Zep man and making it sound like shit with all that scooped heavy metal gain with crazy bottom end. It just sounds like some generic metal guitar with all that shit on it. Shame.

Love this guy…..Great choice !

That thing looks like it's just been pulled out of the box! I thought it was a limited edition 59' style or something. Whoever owns that is going to have loads of fun...and probably never has to work again if he has the money to buy it. Great demo too btw! I dug the tones and the playing.

Honestly the Tim Shaws in my 86 prehistoric reissue sound almost exactly like that clean. Old purple wire a touch smoother I'd say. Man I bet Freeda who sold it in 97' is kicking themselves. The amp was way too dirty though. You need more headroom and cleaner sound. Jimmy actually played insanely loud but relatively clean.

Best rockin Guitar ! Thanks M. Les paul !

Never seen an original 59 in such good condition. It must have been mostly case kept and not played very much. The gloss looks pretty high gloss still.
I would’ve assumed it was a reissue.

Met Mark years ago at a Kill Devil Hill show. Very cool guy and killer player.

Aaaaawk...that one sounds really really... baaaad...the bad with four A
