Lenny praises his 1959 model of this guitar in his Guitar world interview:
"What gear did you use on Strut? — Josh Lind
'It was very simple. I only used two guitars. One was a ’59 Les Paul 'Goldtop' that’s really muted and faded and has the most brilliant-sounding PAFs I’ve ever heard.'"
Lenny used the Black Beauty on tour for the album "Strut" as seen in the video

In Lenny Kravitz’ 2001 interview in the Howard Stern show, he can (surprisingly) be seen playing a Line6 Flextone amplifier. Of all the vintage gear he owns, he chose that to bring to the studio. The amp can be seen clearly throughout most of the “Let Love Rule” birthday video as well as other videos of the same session (he did other songs, see below). Best shots of the amp: 0:33’-0:37’, 1:20’-1:23’, 2:07’-2:13’ (clearly in the background of bass closeup), 3:23 (background) , 3:25’ (overview shot), 3:48’-3:52’ (pan), 4:20’-4:22’, 4:47+ (several shots). Other songs performed with same amp: https://youtu.be/MasrXmEn1Zo (Are You Gonna Go My Way), https://youtu.be/w4gFbXFEU5s (Again).
