I feel incredibly grateful, honored and beyond excited to share this post. Meet OLE RED, the 1953 Gibson Les Paul ‘Goldtop’ refinished in RED over the GOLD many many moons ago. I feel it is THE BEST GUITAR I have ever played. At 66 years old, she is ALIVE. The sound and feel is otherworldly, I can’t even believe it. I feel closer to the music and sound that I love. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to sling a real-deal 50s Les Paul over my shoulder. I cannot thank @lespaulforum enough for giving me the opportunity to do just that! It means the world to me and I have a feeling this axe will take BLUESPOWER to new heights never before imagined! ???? I’m freaking out!!!!

Used on the self-titled album, according to 2022 guitarguitar interview. The guitar was a gift from Charles Daughtry, one of the key people behind the Les Paul Forum.

1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior, nicknamed as "Charlie". Acquired in late November 2019. Used on the self-titled album, according to 2022 guitarguitar interview.

He talks about this and how he uses it to make his tone get a little wider. Used in the recording process of his self-titled album, according to guitarguitar interview:

Then I had a blue Tycobrahe octavia pedal and that was the cool one. Oh, and one other thing was a funky vibe, like a Univibe The very typical standard blues rock set up.
