Doug and Pat take you on a journey of tone to re-discover Les Paul, the guy not the guitar, talk to Tom Doyle who worked with Les for many years and dig a bit deeper on Tom’s “Doylecoils Tru-Clones PAF” pickup and wiring harness (does it make a difference?). Was Les Paul really a space alien from the future or just an amazingly inquisitive and inventive man and guitar player? And what did Tom learn from him in those 45 years? The interviews are at 10:40 and 41:06. The demos at 21:30. The show starts at 03 and yeah it’s kind of long but fun. Want to chat? Email us at theDougandPat Show@gmail(dot)com. We miss you Les.

Doug and Pat discover that there is more to the electric guitar than the pickups-who knew? Here they start their detailed journey of discovery about what they are, how they differ, does the value of the pot matter and what are these little black things with colored stripes on them? Ever curious and benevolent in their quest for tone, sort of like Gandhi meets Leonardo Da Vinci (or is that Dicaprio?) they are willing to swap them out and plug them in to answer the big question: can they make you sound better? And vintage? We got your vintage! How do the replacement harnesses compare to the Les Paul’s of the Golden Era? Has it changed the already rich and entitled lives of Doug and Pat? Maybe, but will it change yours? Grab your favorite pipe and a cup of tea and let’s find out together.

Here’s show #2 on some cool vintage and obscure amplifiers brought to us by our buddy Dr. Kimberley (that’s right, HE’S A DOCTOR) with no stupid viewer edits. Who knows, maybe this is a series. Of course you have to check out Pat’s cool sport coats, the man’s a Maven! Here we go with a tube Vox Cambridge Reverb with a 12″ speaker, Japanese made Omega and the ultra rare DeArmand R15. Let’s get this party started, is there a doctor in the house?
