Searching other videos of 'Forever' yeilded that the guy is always using a Les Paul (a 1976 Standard to be exact) for this song...digging further I'd found this page...

..he's very fond of AC 30's (Daniel will typically run stereo into 2 British Vox AC30TB’s (Top Boost))....from what I can gather he uses Gibson Burstbuckers.
In discussions related to him people talk about brightening up thier LP, which I'm no expert at...just found these in a discusions related to him.
(this list is BY NO MEANS indicative of things Daniel has done..just might help you get that tone).
Lower the pickups and raise the adjustment screws.
Install a treble bleed cap.
Install the RS kit or 50's wiring mod.
Real 500K pots.
Aluminum stop bar.
Steel studs and different strings.
