Adam Jones: 1979 Les Paul Custom Silverburst

Did he really say "the sustain" with a straight face? This feels so much like a Spinal Tap parody.

Dude has a serious set of chompers

I love Adam. One day ill be able to afford his custom silverburst. In about 18 years when all my kids move out 😂😂

I love tool but I kinda despise this jerk, I´m so glad didn´t bought those expensive signature guitars :(

Interview with the vampire vibes

Pirates?? Lol

This guy is a huge troll, he did an interview for a magazine and when asked about his tone, he said he put his marshall head in the fridge 🤣

He sucks 😂

This is my dude for real! So humble, so fkng talented, the most artistic member of the band in my opinion.

"all these guys dressing like pirates"
roflmfao
Adam is the best

“It’s the highs, and the lows…and the mids.”

Yeah bud, that’s what makes up a guitar sound

He’s good at hiding his fangs

Hey what guitar is your year??

chewbacca out of costume?

My fave member of Tool.

His hair now matches his guitar

Dude lookin like hes about to transform into a werewolf.

Just watched a video from 2023 of a live concert. He’s still playing this guitar incredible.

I’ve got that exact guitar. Bought it in Texas new in 1981 with money I had earned working all summer for Shell Oil company. I’ve worn all the paint off the neck and it’s pretty beat up. I really only use it for studio work now because it’s so fucking heavy! It’s got cool flip out cranks on every tuner to facilitate quick string winding when changing strings.

The absolute truth about that guitar is it’s pretty limited. And not the best Les Paul. The lighter the Les Paul the better it sounds! A light weight gold top or deluxe are the best sounding Les Paul’s. That’s why those 1959 burst guitars are so good.

What I play now is a Les Paul guitar I made myself using all I’ve learned over 40 years of bands and studio work. It’s lightweight, got cut down surfaces to fit the body like a Strat. Gotoh tuners and a solid bridge. The nut I carved from a whalebone I found in the beach. The pickups are from Seymour Duncan. A 59 in the bridge position and a Jazz in the neck position. Those are the important parts. The neck is typical of the middle thin ones from Gibson. Fat stainless steel frets and action set up do my hard rhythm playing doesn’t buzz. Not just plucking not buzzing which is the typical setup. I could make it lower to impress someone if I wanted to sell it, but it is my #1 guitar now so selling is unlikely. I set up lots of guitars for friends and rock stars and the setup is THE. Most important part of a working guitar.

Finally, let the guitar find you. If you play one and can’t quit thinking about it and it’s haunting your waking moments and dreams ….buy it! I have never regretted buying a single instrument.

I wouldn't have walked away, i would insist on the year of the guitar, pickups on this guitar, long vs short tenon, how is ebony compared to rosewood, what strap locks in your guitar? Did you install them yourself? Do you think that has any effect on in the tone etc... I'll make him talk like there's no tomorrow

This somehow reminds me of The Office.

And here's my teefs 😁

Lets his guitar do the talking

It is awesome that they've never planned to hit the top 40's, they liked there jobs and wanted to play at night to express theirselves. Its so down to earth and cool

Adam is such a grounded person. He is true to himself and doesn’t fall for fads or what’s popular.

Adam is so humble we almost didn’t get TOOL. He’d have been huge in art though one way or another.

Whoever he is he's a fucking gremlin...learn some hygiene brah

Is Adam a dracula?

it's a 94..

Adam rocks

Love tool and I love Adam but brother if you feel dirty when people call your music metal then take that fucking bath. If it still bothers you, try not to play metal asshole!

I've seen Adam jones.he turned into a warewolf.and ran into the woods howling like a hell hound

He may be the most quiet famous guitarist ever.

"It's a '94." They say, "Oh." And just walk away. However, as old as this interview is, there are collectors who fetishize over early 90s Gibsons. Adam will have to invest in a hoodie now.

Where was her fucking gun?

To be fair at the time of Hair Metal the bands WERE dressing like pirates

That gleeful look at the end,.

I like Adam Jones as a guitar player but I wonder if he still believe all this bs he said in this interview. "You will not find these guitars in Europe". What??

Dude !! Where did ya dig this video up from. This is F-ING awesome!!🤘👍. It does have black Machine Heads (tuning pegs). I wonder how many people believed him that the (obviously) late seventies Silverburst Les Paul was a 1994 (for that time period / mid nineties production model🤘🎸🥁🎙️🎵🎶

Anybody know where i can find the interview of him calling tool munge?

I will definitely agree with him when he talks about the quality of the guitar. So many guitars look great on the front but when you turn them over and look at the back there's nothing back there. I love how they did the paint scheme for my silver burst. They really put a lot of thought into it and didn't Focus solely on the front of the guitar there is silver on the sides of it and silver on the back as well. It was definitely expensive but I definitely feel I got my money's worth.

It's famous for it's sustain

"It's control...it's control of the highs, and the lows, and the mids..." Is he trolling?

I have one in gold burst bought for 1200 bucks back in the day.
