Guitarist

On Friday 10 October 2025, stellar guitarist Aynsley Lister and Guitarist magazine put seven genuine, original 1958-1960 Les Paul Standards through their paces live at Gibson Garage London. This video covers the third section of the event, dealing with the icon of icons – the 1959 Les Paul Standard. Join Aynsley, Guitarist Editor-in-Chief Jamie Dickson and former Guitarist Editor Neville Marten as they coax thrilling and iconic sounds from two famous '59 'Bursts - one of which formerly belonged to Mick Taylor. There was a further twist in the tale when Aynsley A/B'd the '59s with an original 1960 Les Paul Standard that was also onstage that night – sometimes slightly less revered than the '59, the slim-necked '60 was not to be dismissed lightly. Watch this video to find out which came out on top... Filmed live at Gibson Garage London.
