Gibson Adam Jones Les Paul Standard DEMO

Obsessive Tool fan for 20+ years. Man I really wish that the custom shop model wasn't so outrageously expensive because though this is a beautiful guitar and sounds great... Adam's 79 is a custom shop not a standard so that immediately puts me off a bit. Having said that I may end up grabbing one at some point because they are my fav band and I'll never justify or even be able to afford the high prices on signature custom shop guitars.

did yours not have the thumb bleeders?? I just got mine today and had them. wasn't expecting them. hmmm

Awesome guitar!

Freaking sounds great!😍😍😍😍😍😍❣️

Do you know if it's possible to put a nickel pickup cover on the bridge pickup? I'd love to make it look a little bit more "standard" without having to switch the bridge pickup.

Looks and sounds great. Wish I had that money.

Did you not cover the neck depth/profile??? That's what I came here for!!

Great video I agree Gibson shuold definitely revisit the Volute I really dig the feel and look of the Volute.

Proper set up, fret dressing, and heavy enough string gauge like 11-56, and you'll get no buzz. :)

Don't forget about the upper fret neck carve for good upper fret access similar to a PRS SC. That is different from a standard LP.
"Technical players will appreciate the Adam Jones Les Paul Standard's carved neck heel, and its ebony fingerboard makes everything from riffing to soloing seem effortless."

Niiiiiiice

3k and no mirror included. I am out. Lol great review!

A question: why the neck pickup comes the other way around and if the sound differs if it were in a way with the magnets up. And it could be left then

Great video! Very detailed about the guitar and that jam at the end was a blast to listen to

Perfect guitar. Just wish they tried binding in the headstock.

So what's the difference between this and the signature editions

I have one of the Epiphone chet atkins sst deluxe with birdseye maple clear finish scored it from a guy who bought it new in the 90s played it like 2 -3 times for whatever reason I love it but it sat in the case for 20 years it's mint and he let me get it for 200$ been looking around lately seeing them priced at 750 i would really love to install a humbucker In it and probably go with 2 Jack's ive only find one other person who's done this mod im a little fearful of removing any wood wish I could find a nice pickup to go under the strings were they have the fake sound hold with basically an ash trey in it seeing how Gibson chambered the body but its all solid mahagony but I believe there's a few plies of it with the 🕊️ 👀 maple top it very much reminds me of my old les Paul as far the body styling goes

That was the coolest playing I’ve seen in a while. Like if Adam jones decided to play blues/jazz

This and a Diezel VH4 would be awesome times!

I love this guitar. More than the custom shop.

Great demo! You really loved playing that it looked like. Nearly trance out and switch the pickup tho? CMON! Lets see the stuff you bought! lol jk. good day! SALUT~

I've seen tool over 20 times. This guitar sounds so good!

Awesome

The ebony board and MOP trapezoid inlay makes this guitar. Love that

I heard a Judas Priest Run of the Mill lick in there

Hate to sound like an idiot, but what's the song you're playing?

It's PRETTY!

After watching the Gibson Vs Epiphone Adam Jones videos back to back, the Epiphone looks and sounds closer to the Signature model. If I bought this Gibson, I'd honestly be disappointing that it came with less features than the Epiphone that's less than half the cost.

has it got those stupid nibs on the binding?

I like it more than the veil of bees.

Great review! Just got word that mine is in and will be shipped.

So happy I found this video. I had to raise the bridge on the bass side too. That fret buzz was a little too much!

Adam Jones vs Slash models, which do you prefer??

I want to win!!!
Great video, Love it, keep the reviews coming!!!

Way to rock it out! Just finished watching, love those high gain HB tones too

Amazing instrument and good demo too

Nice playing 👌🏻

Best all around Les Paul in production right now. Has a great neck profile. Looks insane.

I like how the power chords sound like Tool no matter what you're playing

I have just ordered one of these and I can't wait to have it. Literally my dream guitar since I first saw the silverburst custom LP, but I couldn't afford it when it was 4k.

That poly is NOT going to age like nitro

Interested in how the DC High-Gain Humbucker, in the bridge of the Gibson Adam Jones Standard version, compares to the Seymour Duncan Distortion in the new 1979 Epiphone Adam Jones??

does the case still smelled like vanilla on this modell? or is the gibson smell gone?

Thanks for the demo.
I would say that you pretty much covered what that guitar can do. Sounds great that bridge pup sounds amazing.

I just picked one up because I wasn’t paying $10k for the custom. All my other guitars are high end customs or prs 594 McCarty’s and the quality of this standard is right up there, I was super impressed. Best of all, the guitar was inspiring for me. I wrote 3 songs the second I picked it up but sadly they all sound like tool 😆. Love it though. I added locking tuners and a string butler right away cause and filed the nut because Gibson can’t cut nuts correctly and I can’t deal with tuning stability issues. String butler really helps. I almost never have to tune in the middle of a show. They go on all my Les Paul’s

Just ordered one, pick it up this week😁😁 hello from Australia...

Dude awesome jam very impressive. Is that standard tuning?

I like it all!!!!!!!

Know this is 2 years old, but rather shocking that the Epiphone 2024 model is more accurate than the Gibson.
