Great video, my experience with the Les Paul has been very similar, always interesting to hear other people's thoughts about it. I played super-strat style guitar for the most part, ever since I started playing guitar in 2007. About a year ago I was in a music store browsing and decided to try out a Gibson Les Paul Classic (the one with the push-pull pots). I fell in love with the way it sounds, but all the things people say are very much true - it's heavy, it's not ergonomic, the upper fret access is limited, etc. But I bought the guitar on an impulse and "acclimated" to it over a few weeks. It's 100% my go-to guitar now days.

@grindcoreblues7517 3 месяца назад

Once you become acclimated to one they are unbeatable... Of course there are other great guitars out there but none of them do what a great Les Paul will do.

I just looked up your channel after being introduced by Brother Williams and Five Watt World. I was absolutely blown away by your playing in the style of Gary Moore.

Can’t say enough, how very impressive that (way too) short segment of Keith’s Greeny discussion was.

Since 2002, I’ve always had a Les Paul at one point or another. My first guitar was a cheap Epiphone LP100. Finally got my first Gibson standard (50s goldtop) this year. After owning various levels of Epiphones and Gibsons, the standard is 100% worth it.

I started out with a 74 custom when I was younger... It was a little rough and my uncle, the original owner ended up with it. Much later I got a 2016 Gibson V that was amazing but only owned it for about 6 months before it ended up in a fire. I then ran across a Epiphone Matt Heafy Custom w/ EMGs which I really like... And then it happened. I finally landed a Gibson Les Paul 60s Standard and it is absolutely amazing. I can't say enough good things about it. My guitar collection is pretty big but my Les Paul certainly stands out and holds it's own in a way that I believe only a Les Paul can. Cheers 🍻👊🤘

Got my "blendable" dual humbucker fix with a PRS Tremonti SE that I modded with pots and a cap kit. For me, having the trem was essential and a big part of the magic is the 4-knob control layout.

@christianboddum8783 Год назад

I just turned 59 and decided it was time for my first real Les Paul. I got a 50's standard from Andertons based on the neck, weight and the top. It needed some finetuning, especially on the frets, but from there on it was ready. I love the Burstbuckers, because they are vintage sounding AND when it goes direct into my Marshall 1987X with a matching 1960X cab the sound is just right. It has a slight snarl with overtones that makes you go Yes, there it is! It is big in sound and sustain, really loud acoustically. So now I'm in the process of taming this beast. I will still be using my HSS Strats to have more flexibility, but when the LP sound is needed it's there. Why did it take me so long I wonder? Cheers 😀 P.S. Don't be afraid that the guitar is new, they obviously are using some quality woods now!!

@Lovetone1983 Год назад

I got a Les Paul standard as a 16 year old who was a big Manics fan (albeit JDB played a white Custom...). the thing that suprised me most, coming from a Squier Telecaster was the neck angle, headstock angle. Felt, and still does feel, very different to the "flatness" of a Fender. I prefer bolt on Fender style instruments on the whole, and for the most part my 96 les Paul standard lives in a case but it will be an heirloom and it has huge sentimental value (not only early gigs, but the fact it took about a hundred paper rounds to pay for it!).

@mortonwilson795 Год назад

Seems like a lovely guitar and really enjoyed your playing, so thanks for that! I bought my 1968 LP Custom in 1974 and still have it. It was my only guitar till 1982 when I also got a Japanese made Strat, so happy with both! I like the slimmer 60s neck - I have been trying out some Standards recently - 2019 60th Anniversary, Custom Shop and Murphy Lab. All lovely but not really essential at this point. I did buy the Epiphone 59 Gibson hybrid and will be putting some Monty's Underspun PAFs in that one - it's a nice instrument. Played an Eastman SB59/v last weekend up in Shenzen (HK dealer doesn't carry their solid bodies!) and I am keen to grab that one - it's quite special - Lollar Imperials are a nice touch.

@vaportrails7943 2 месяца назад

Excellent music and playing, first of all. I’ve been playing a Les Paul for a long time, and I’ve tried to find something else that works for me, but I can’t get away from it. To me it’s the combination of tone and feel. The shorter scale length makes it extremely playable, in a way longer Strat-style scales aren’t. It also means less tension on the strings, which makes them more sensitive, articulate and bendable. It’s a pretty tight squeeze once you get up past the 15th fret or so, but for everything below that, it’s better. Then there’s the tone, which is unique, kind of indescribable, and not replicated in any other guitar. It is a jazz guitar at its origin, which should never be forgotten. The clean sound is very rich and deep. The pickups are a big part of it, and different versions sound different. But there is a core tone that doesn’t change. When you take that rich, complex tone to high gain, it takes on qualities that you can’t get elsewhere. The overtones and harmonics, and the interaction with the amp and feedback are something special. I don’t care much about how they look, or which vintage spec some people chase. That’s more a of a collector thing. As a player, the tone and feel are what matters.

@dreamscuba 10 месяцев назад

Great video John and very timely. Love your playing and honest option as always. I have gently been on s quest for a Les Paul for some years, on and off. I had resigned myself to thinking that maybe they are not for me. However, a good friend of mine, who is a Les Paul lover and aficionado, kindly (ahem) lent me a Leap Paul Standard from made in 2000 to try and I have come to really like it.... so much that, it is mine (a small financial matter to be addressed). Will it replace my PRS...haha... no. They are very different beats and I think they both have a place in my arsenal. But, I feel very comfortable now with this lester that I look forward to getting to know more... Thanks!!

1st time here, I recently purchased the Gibson LP Studio Plus at 8.2 lbs and the EPIPHONE LP Standard weighing in @ 9.5 lbs. Both look and play fantastic!! They are a wonderful exploration of tonal beauty. The EPIPHONE Smokehouse burst has MUCH more sustain than the Studio. That may be common knowledge to some people. But for me it just nice to have both. The warmth and richness of the Studio is amazing as well.

Since you asked about Maybach. I have a Lester '58. Bought it at some point when I didn't know what to do with my savings and it seemed to not be losing money as it was second hand and the price was okay. I'm strat guy, but it made me prefer the Lester over my (boutique-y) strat. I let a friend play it, made him but one too. They're that good! They really have the 'Tele on steroids' vibe. When comparing it to a LP Studio of another friend the Lester was a LOT better. The neck pickup had more clarity than the bridge pickup of the LP. The Amber pickups are incredible. A lot depth in them, and it mkes you want to play Led Zeppelin riffs when you play a single note.

Could not pull the trigger on any single cut for the longest time. I just never found a neck/fingerboard that agreed with me. The necks were usually to chunky for me and the strings were too scrunched together. Saw a mitchell single cut on sale going for 250 bucks american so i though why not and i’ve been rather pleased! Neck is slim enough for my tastes and although the strings still are too scrunched for my taste, the neck not being as fat goes a long way. It’s sort of gateway-ed me into wanting to get a Sire single cut and seeing how i like it

@ThePedroDB Год назад

I never wanted a Les Paul. It was always a bit of a "Dad's Guitar". Ibanez was my thing. However, I loved the tones from a friends 70's Les Paul Standard and decided to try one. I became especially interested when the HP range were available due to the Axcess Neck Joint. I bought a 2018 Les Paul Standard HP II and a 2016 Les Paul Studio HP. The Standard is a bit of a 'show pony' and tonally rather brighter than I expected. Much easier to get the 'Gary Moore tone' from the Studio (despite the hot bridge pup). I love them both but play the Studio far more. Both weigh a couple of Ounces under 9 pounds. I find the Zero Fret Adjustable Nut and G-Force Tuners work incredibly well and I have Ibanez levels of action/playability from both models. My most recent Gibson acquisition is a 2015 Les Paul Less+. 7 pounds weight and my absolute favourite Classic '57 pups. Needless to say that I appreciate the Les Paul far more now.

@damien2729 Год назад

I used to think all guitars are damn near the same it's about what you want to do with them. Wrong, When I first picked up an ESP it felt like a kid's toy, I had been a big hammett fan once upon a time, I picked up a ESP KH-2, And it looked ridiculous on me. I tried to fret a chord in it feel like I was going to break the neck. It was them that I realized neck width, fretboard radius, neck profile, are actually things that matter and wouldn't you know it. Les Paul's are just the most comfortable thing I've ever held when it comes to guitar necks. No matter how many guitars I want to get because my favorite guitarists used to use it. When it comes to sitting down and just playing from the soul, I grab a Les Paul. It can be Epiphone, Greco, Tokai, Burny, Maybach, or just a Gibson. Just something about a Les Paul that brings a smile to my face.

@Dead-Eye Год назад

I am one of that minority of maladjusted people who really dislikes Les Pauls and Gibson guitars in general. The exception is the single or doublecut Junior. I love those guitars despite their flaws. I love their minimalist simplicity and their P90s. Most Gibsons, however, drive me crazy through their clueless design choices. The string path over the nut of a Les Paul or SG is an insane friction point thanks to that stupid fanning out due to tuner placement. Les Pauls weigh a tone and have limited high fret access. SGs are lighter but suffer from neck dive and the same unnecessary tuning issues due to the bad headstock design. Both are prone to neck breaks just below the headstock. I also have a strong preference for bolt-on necks. I understand why people love them but they are so not for me. Not as a player and not as a repairer.

@KozmykJ Год назад

Les Paul Shaped Objects. I'm not jealous at all ... 🤥 As a life-long bass guitarist who decided to see what all the fuss was about with these little thin strings, I find it difficult to justify the cost of a ‘proper’ Les Paul for myself. I DO have a Gibson SG though. That will have to do in the satisfying G.A.S. department for now; or until I get a lottery win … Strangely, I now own more thin stringers than basses. That’s due to the adventuring aspect of guitaring I guess; trying out the different sounds and feels. I used to have just One electric, a 96 Strat MIJ. Her frets need some love now, after 28 years of abuse. As for LP shaped objects my current favourite is a P90 Gold (Copper) Top from Harley Benton. She came out of the box raring to go; more so than any other guitar I’ve bought since Shelly the Strat. No faults at all, a real winner, and her cheapo no-name P90s sound great; better that the Seymour Duncan I have in another guitar … The success of the HB P90 prompted me to get the humbucking version. That too is a respectable instrument and it’s ‘Roswell’ pickups are sufficiently bright and clean so as not to demand an upgrade just yet. IronGear Blues Engines would be my choice if I Did upgrade them. I replaced a pair of Wilkinsons in my 335 copy with those and they really made it sing. 👍

It’s imperfections, which Gibson embrace so vehemently, irk me too much to ever own one for the high price tag. I’ve got a cheap epiphone Les Paul which I never play, that’s as far as I will ever go.

Everyone needs an LP TYPE guitar.

LPs would be great if; they weighed less, their necks didn’t snap like twigs, the headstock design didn’t cause tuning issues, they weren’t covered in plastic binding, weren’t so expensive and had better top fret access. Guitarist nostalgia is the only reason they are so popular. They are iconic but the design is objectively flawed in many ways.
