After Playing Every Les Paul...Buy THIS One?

the only reason I buy signiture models is because gibson refuses to sell lps without pick guards. sure i can remove it. but that leaves 2 holes on my guitar

I have lots of problems with my sg

The most important difference between my Studio and my Standard was definitely quality of electronics. Physically they're also very different spec from each other, but that's more of a flavor thing than a quality thing.
The Standard V&T controls are hand-wired. They are smooth and even throughout the entire sweep of the pot. The Studio's circuit board controls are clunky and are basically off from 1 to 2.5 with an abrupt cut-off; from 3 to 7 they don't really do much; most of the effective V&T control is from 8.5 to 10.
Having these smaller windows of effective control drastically limits your ability to shape tone.

9lb's to heavy

I'm not highbrow enough for it to matter which LP.
My Gibson Studio that I bought at a pawn shop suits me just fine.

I don't care for Gibson or Epiphone signature guitars especially Slash. I would rather have the same guitar for a lower price .it can also be modified to its specifications if choose to for less money

Gibson Les Paul Standard 50's in the Heritage Cherry Sunburst is my personal dream guitar. If I had 3k to drop on a guitar, I would be buying that 100%

I am ready to buy a les paul! Go a standard 60s as i had an r7 and did not like the big neck....but it still has issues, it holds back a bit...and sounds a bit thin(!) sometimes its got a bright tone which i do like...but i sytill search for a better one, i can afford it but 7500 gives me the creeps! After being totally disappointed on a fender cs strat my faith in custom shop is gone. Epiphones are great for the money but you do hear it in the sound ❤

I totally agree with the artist models. Slash is my favorite guitarist, but I can’t bring myself to get a Slash model.

Does he buy all these guitars with his own money?

Epiphone probuckers sound like someone wiping their ass and trying to s*** at the same time.....

I think you are really Chris Hemsworth, taking time out of acting to give us great advice here!

There is only one LP made today, Heritage LP`s are top of the line quality handmade throw backs that are better sounding and built than any Gibson EVER, FACT! They aren't as expensive as Gibsons, but are pricey, they are the best Gibson`s ever made, FACT!!!

Great Video. Have you ever played and heard of G&L Guitars and Heritage Guitars?

I have a 1994 Studio, had it since new. Its a really really good guitar. Sounds good, looks good, and plays amazing with the perfect neck to me. I paid around $850 for it back in the day, which is a pretty good investment in my book 😊

Really enjoyed this one - thanks for taking the time to put it together! I'm primarily a Les Paul person, my first electric was (still is) a 1968 LP Custom I bought from a friend in the early 70s - it was my only electric thru my band days and stayed with me into my studio days. Recently I bought the Epiphone 1959 'Gibson hybrid' which I like a lot, interesting getting to know a chunkier neck, and also the Cantrell 'Wino' which is great, the neck and ebony fretboard feel very familiar and, frankly, I just love the colour. I tried the Epi Custom and it's great but the 'Wino' won the toss. My next purchase will definitely be an Eastman SB59/v - tried one and love it. There are a couple of Gibsons I would love to own, a 2011 Long Island Ltd. Edition I have been checking out and maybe the new Deluxe with mini humbuckers - need to try it out but the brighter edge the pick-ups give it seems pretty interesting (also they have a Wine red!). Thanks again.

Gibson price went up quality went down.

I'm still in love with my 2009 les paul traditional. Zero bells and whistles and no weight relief just a les paul being a les paul only thing I plan on changing soon are tuners because one took a knock and the cover came apart.. Good excuse for locking tuners

You are spot on, I have a friend and he checks out all the guitars you talked about and thats what he says
I also like those pickups you talked about and then added the Antiquity`s aged look to my R9 and thats
the old sound I was looking for, I do highly recommend them.

Love your channel. You are easy to follow along with. Great work. Thanks.

after playing every les paul i bought the Yamaha Revstar Pro, its just so much better!!!

I have a Les Paul Standard 2017 and I've thought of it as the guitar I've always wanted. Recently I bought a Chibson Les Paul '56 Custom Shop Re-issue replica, just like the one I had back in the 70's. Soap bars, thick neck, 7 pounds and no frills aside from the tiger maple top and what looks like a lemon burst finish. After playing that thing for a week, I picked up my 2017, and shocker. I discovered how much work it needed to play as well as my Chibson. Plus, those humbuckers will never have the spice of the soap bars. They are just alive. I've got a new favorite guitar, and it's not the Gibson.

Love Goldtops!

Thanks!

Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s for me. I can't spend much on a guitar since I'm not and I won't be a professional guitarist. But the sound of the probucker 1 in the neck position makws me shudder every time I play it.

which of the Epiphone Slash les paul do you like?

the thicker the cushion the better for the pushin your fingers on those narely frets. what did you think I was gonna say / get your mind out of the gutter? lol

I came here to be talked down off the edge of buying a Les Paul 50s standard with the P 90s in it! Lol! Thanks for the help!

Yes. The Standard '50s is the one I chose. I just got a second one with AAA flame top and in bourbon burst, which usually is only available on the '60s.

Why don't people just pick the guitar that best suits their playing and style? People are so caught up in having a Les Paul. No wonder Gibson can charge whatever they want.

What about the GoldTop slash Victoria.. with custom Burstbuckers ? I’m thinking on buying it..

Take a look at ESP Guitars..... JDM particularly

Thanks for the review….1950’s Epiphone LP in heritage cherry sunburst for me. It came perfectly setup from Sweetwater. I LOVE the look, sound and feel of this guitar and can’t put it down. I was worried about the size of the neck as I have fairly small hands, but it is so comfortable to play!

When you gonna give it away your at 52.5k

The satin finish looks shit. Just being honest.

For crying out loud. What’s the big deal about the weight? What, are you all nerds? 10 pounds or even 20 pounds is not a problem to play for hours unless you are 95 years old with no muscles. Heavier the better.

The best Epiphone LP is the Custom....by far....it really isn't even close.

Epiphone for me.

I received a Les Paul Junior made by Gibson and it was absolute garbage. Gouges all over the fret board. Gibson is back to their old tricks

Alnico 5 on 60s

I have mentioned this many times. The prices have gone up like crazy, and many models does give a hard case

When are you giving away the Custom Shop Gibson Les Paul? You’re at 51k subs.

I don't think that way about the slash lp's. Tou can take the slash cover off and put a plane one on.

does the epiphone les paul classic have phase inverter? or should i say on those are there push pull on all knobs or not? because it seems like theres only two coil splitters on the front two knobs! hopefully you can help me to understand this? and just subbed!

I am planning to buy the les paul tribute

My favs are the classic and traditional. I have both and they're great guitars.

I'm a Gibson Les Paul man, GLP guitars are the most beautiful guitars ever plus the best sounds ever.
And this is my opinion on Fender guitars
( I don't like FENDER guitars )

Gibson the sword and stone of guitar

You like the Les Paul 'standard 50s better than the Les Paul Standard '60s? Can I ask why? Better sounding pickups, better electronics or the better "Vintage" sound?
