Call us crazy but can you really tell the difference between a highly prized vintage Gibson electric guitar from the fifties and a re-issue? How about those high priced boutique PAF clones you're thinking about buying, how do they stack up to the real deal? Confused? OK, how about if you could hear them all playing the same song by the same player through the same amp recorded exactly the same way every time? Welcome to "Chasing Oscar", written and recorded by Doug and Pat for exactly that purpose: to hear how (let's say) a 2013 R9 might compare to the original 1958 PAF equipped Les Paul known as "Oscar" or a Custom Shop Les Paul Special to an original 1956. And how do those expensive boutique "PAF" style pickups sound when you put them in an affordable guitar compared to the icons of the guitar world? You get the idea. Let's take this journey together, right now, and then on the Doug and Pat Show web site. Go back often as we'll be adding more guitars and more pickups every week all for you. Doug and Pat Present "Chasing "Oscar", need we say more?

Doug and Pat demo pickups from RC Pickups, Tamm Custom Pickups, Sanford Magnetics and Tyson Tone Lab and compare them to an original 1958 Les Paul Standard named "Oscar". Independent winders are making great stuff and willing to compare what they do to an original PAF LP which is kind of refreshing. Also, introducing "Chasing Oscar", a feast for the ears if you know what we mean. Yeah!
