Wonderful!!! Interestingly the overall tone of his guitar in this video is not a whole lot different then what you find on some of the live videos posted here from the 80s and 90s.

This is PRE "New Sound" Les, this may be '45-
'47 or so.Theatrical,not TV. And absolutely pre "Car Crash" Les, check out his windmill action at the end. You don't get that once the overdubs start in 1948.....
Also,the drummer in this clip Abe Lyman, was the original orchestra leader on the earliest Warner Bros. Vitaphone cartoons c.1928-1930.

Gibson electrics at the time.

I agree, mid '40s. This looks like one of the 25 cent movies played on a jukebox like player in icecream and pizza parlors. They faded fast after TV.
