I was going to take a break from uploading songs until Saturday. But, an old friend of mine from my 20's (1980s) asked me to do this song with my Harley Benton SC-450plus Les Paul and upload it. We both know the original was done on Jimmy Page's Fender Telecaster. But, he's been trying to decide whether or not to get a Harley Benton Les Paul or an Epiphone. I told him that, either way, he couldn't go wrong as long as it's set-up well and looked over. I told him that about the only real difference between the Bentons and the Epiphones is the price and how long you might be waiting for it. So, this video is for him to help him decide which one to get. 'Good Times Bad Times' is the first song on Led Zeppelin's 1969 self-titled debut and is written by Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. SIGNAL CHAIN: GUITAR: Harley Benton SC-450plus (Les Paul copy) - STOCK. NO MODS. I left the stock Roswell pickups in this excellent instrument because they do exact what I want them to do whenever I want them to do it. This guitar was $186 shipped!! They're a little more expensive now, but still affordable and, in my opinion, worth EVERY penny! This guitar feels, plays, and sounds, exactly like any Gibson Les Paul I've ever played - period!

So, what is that you say about needing an expensive guitar to sound good? What was that about the cheaper guitars falling apart after a year? What was that about no guitars under $600 being good (a certain YouTuber told me that!)?? BOLLOCKS. 'After The Fire' is from Roger Daltrey's 1985 album 'Under A Raging Moon' and is written by Pete Townshend. SIGNAL CHAIN: GUITAR: Ariana Stratocaster copy bought for $30 off of Craigslist. It was pretty beat up and neglected. So, I got it home and installed a new $20 HSS loaded pickguard on it (from China) that I had bought off Amazon. The loaded pickguard has a 'Belcat' humbucker on it.

I spent nearly 5 hours today upgrading EVERYTHING in this guitar that hasn't been upgraded before. It already had the GraphTech ResoMax bridge. But, this time I went way further. I had a bunch of parts waiting on a new project. But, that guitar is taking FOREVER to get to me. So, I decided to put the new parts on THIS guitar since I was having trouble with the volume control for the bridge pickup. Here are the new parts: - GraphTech Tusq nut - Gotoh Locking Tuners - Alnico II Humbuckers with Nickel Silver base-plates - Brand new Epiphone 2020 Les Paul wiring + new Epiphone toggle switch. It's basically a new guitar now! And wow, does it scream!! I have enough Les Pauls with covered humbuckers and it was time for a change! I love the way it sounds now! More videos with it will be coming out in the coming days. "Smokin'" is from Boston's 1976 self-titled debut album and is written by Brad Delp and Tom Scholz. SIGNAL CHAIN: GUITAR: SX Callisto II STD+ds (Les Paul) - Upgrades: GraphTech 'ResoMax' bridge with graphite saddles, GraphTech Tusq nut, Gotoh locking tuners, Epiphone 2020 Les Paul Standard Wiring, Epiphone 2020 switch, and nickel silver base-plate Alnico II humbuckers.
