There's no doubt that Jason Isbell has songwriting and guitar chops (and he's even giving lessons too), but his actual electric guitar collection is becoming a talking point too – especially since he acquired one of the finest 1959 Les Paul 'Bursts on the planet; 'Redeye' that previously belonged to late Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Ed King.
GQ magazine had the opportunity of looking at the collection (in a socially-distanced style) but it looks like something went wrong with the sound so they had to use the camera audio feed. Nevertheless, Isbell's insight is worth hearing here.
