Every Level of LES PAUL 

2:40 my bro reached for a whammy bar😭

A professional guitar player can make the cheapest guitar sound good while an amateur playing an expensive pro guitar will always sound horrible.. Its the player / technique that counts. Practice, practice, practice.

!I really love your playing in this video brother!

For the tuning issues, try a String Butler. It basically is a truss rod cover replacement with rollers attached that creates straight string pull. I have one on my Les Paul an SG, big difference.

Dude your playing is inspiring.🔥

Damn, a review guy that can properly shred!

I have an OG Special, before they introduced the II, and made the special wrap around. So mine has the Tune-O-Matic and Stop tail piece. Mine also has GFS Big Mouth and Loud Mouth pickups, coil tapped, and is completely customized in a skull theme. I've had it for nearly 20 years now.

28:45 SAME REACTION! :D Love it

Cool video. Subbed. I was secretly hoping to get a tuxedo Custom for my 60th birthday a few weeks ago from my wife, but instead she got me a Gretsch Paisley Black Penguin, which is possibly even better. I still want a Custom though. Next purchase.

That Love Rock is really cool. I have a Fujigen built Japanese Epiphone Les Paul with the open book headstock and its SO good.

I love it, but you left out like, 5 or 6 different low and mid-range Les Pauls including Juniors, Specials, Moderns and Tributes, most with their own unique attributes

Very nice playing! Oh yeah, and I like the Custom best :)

You MUST own or at least try an early Les Paul classic 1991-early 1993. They feel and sound super special.

This is a great vid! Hey what plugins are you using?

Used to have a les Paul studio and loved it

I have three made in Japan Orville by Gibson Les Paul's and they all stay in tune. Proper cut nut, bridge and good tuners and you are in business.

I really enjoy playing my 2022 Firefly Les Paul in Kawasaki green. Low action, sounds great.

This exactly Epiphone VE with this cherry worn color was my first guitar and i sold her before 2-3 years. Nice guitar with slim neck, lightweight body and nice sound

The gold truss rod cover, along with the two gold knobs, make your black beauty Les Paul look very unique and rad. The gold knobs fit in really well, especially in the configuration you have them in. I'd keep it like that.

I have a Tokai MIJ LP and it gets used more than my 78' Gibson Custom. I just purchased a Tokai Premium SG. I'll have it next week. I tried several Gibson SG's and for 2 grand pretty lackluster. For hundreds less Tokai offers their top line and considering I love their mid level LR's, I am confident the SG will be fantastic.

I recently got a gibson les paul custom in hot pink, never getting rid of it 💅

12:04 wasn't expecting that

Crazy dude! So what if i put ny wildkat rpiphonr bigsbey, in ny les paul epiphone gold top.... Would i be able to put the bridge jn the wildkat and yeah 🎉great vid im pumped

Les Paul Custom (‘68 reissue) for the big shows and Chibson for dive bar gigs 👋

The $2,000 Gibson Standard SG's and LP's have tuning problems. My 78' Custom has tuning issues. I replaced vintage hardware to give it better tuning stability because onstage, tuning stability becomes necessary.

I have an older LP Special with the Tune-O-Matic bridge and the toggle switch on the top. I've had it for over 10 years, and it's still my go-to guitar. I like its simplicity, but it's still considered a "Les Paul". Many memories and gigs with that guitar. I'll give it to my nephew if he'd get off his butt and get serious about playing. Otherwise, I may get buried with it LOL. Are you playing thru that Orange? I was looking into one, but not sure yet. If you're looking for tuning stability, have you looked into the String Butler? I've been looking at them, but not sure how legit they are.

The Epi special was my first ever electric

What is the studio monitor behind you?

The sound difference is small but what can’t be conveyed through a video is the feel. That’s what you pay more for imo. Quality feel comes from quality components. Stainless steel frets and what not.

My Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro ii is my baby

Do you have a spotify account with your music?

No love for the Studio?

At level one I spected a Les Paul SL

I have a Special II, and it really chugs

Nobody should get a chibson over an Epiphone if they plan on playing it (if you want a Gibson as a wall decoration, that's another thing). They cost pretty much the same and chibsons are known to in the past have serious non-fixable issues (wrong neck angle, maxed out truss rods from the factory, badly treated wood that crack and/or warp as well as blemishes such as chipped out wood where the gaps have been flooded with epoxy or superglue and then finished over

I have an epiphone les paul 100 its a little nicked and scratched but still is an awesome guitar

With Gibson Les Pauls, as the price goes up, you're basically paying exponentially for appearance. I have a 2015 Faded that I got from direct the Demo shop for 899 with a case. Dot inlays, no binding, and a maple neck (with some flame actually), but the same pickup set as the custom. Between that and the Studio is a sweet spot for value in a range of models that gets expensive fast.

My most inexpensive Les Paul is my best playing. It’s a 2001 Korean made, Samick I’m sure. Everything is just right about it. It does weigh about half a ton but I don’t gig it so no issues there. It’s completely factory and I love blind testing folk when they come to the house. Most pick it over my 76 custom 😅 You can pick a good one of these up for £400 or $550. If you get the chance to buy one then do it.

the Epi Les Paul 59 is the best bang for your buck LP style guitar

Trying to find the links for pricing differences in the description, I’m not seeing any links to sweet water

19:55 that's the School of Rock credits track

guys i found an epiphone standard 60's ebony for 380$ should i buy?

Donna Lee!

You definitely skipped a few levels my man 😂

“It’s nothing special” Sir, hold your tongue. That is THE Les Paul Special

What riff is the one in 2:50

Where does an Epi LP Studio fit in?

stretch your strings they stay in tune fine. always tune upwards too.

I've never felt like Slash and I hope I never do, it might affect my playing.

Still trying to figure out what level my Chepiphone Custom is at 🤔

I put a String Butler on my Epi SG & holds it's tune better/longer.

Ever think about ordering the Bullfight LP style off of Amazon? I'm thinking about buying one since they are cheap and my check barely is able to afford a high end guitar like Gibson

No tribute or studio?

At 31:10 you just didnt get the sub, but also my heart. I dont let anyone touch my lemonburst lp, it goes from my hand to the case.... Soon no one will br breathing in it 😂😅

That amp makes level 1 sound good

Why put 99 dlls in the thumbnail when the cheapest one is 150?

SG >

Gretsch duo jet is everything a Les Paul wants to be

#1 plays like a SG, hated it when I tried one. #2 Firewood... you should burn it... now. Calling it a LP? I would say "No...Get stuffed" #3 Meh... it's ok... ish... #4 Meh, it's ok... ish (Part 2) If you wind the string, first under, then over with subsequent winds, You'll stay in tune #5 They are ok, but I prefer more options. 60's neck is cool (I prefer LP Classic 60's, I love the classics over the Standards) #6 Thats ok, I've played Morris and Austin Fake LP's there are some good ones, interesting pickup combo. #7 Great, great resale value... My "Best" is the new LP Modern Supreme (Wine red, Quilted) has all the cool features of the LP Classic but with modern voiced pickups and great access to the neck. I hope you like my comment, please take it with a grain of humor... can't wait to hear the cranky replies from the followers. ;)

All i can think of when hes pkaying the gold and black guitar is bocchi

A good amp will go a long way tone wise

So why does the thumbnail say $99?

Yo is there anyway i could get a free cheap cheap electric guitar ? I’ve been wanting one badlyyyy.Like even if its like a trash les Paul i’ll take it mann 🙏😭

i prefer edwards , navigator's les paul which are under of esp . lastly , of course is maybach lester ( lp shape )

Buy a set of nut files and fix those tinning issues yourself. They pay for themselves if you have a few guitars.

Were the subtitles done by AI?

Bro said the Epiphone les paul SPECIAL was nothing special 😞

And where does the chibson fit in? Lol

The first 4 levels of "Les Paul" are NOT Les Pauls. They may look like Les Paul or sound similar, but they are NOT Les Pauls.

The cheap epiphone is awful. The action is a mile high after setting it up because the bridge/saddle is too tall. V frustrate

You are a awesome player. Always have been. But....lol...get rid of the grandpa Gibson's and get a ESP or PRS single cut that's modern. Made better. Stainless steel frets. $6000 guitar 🎸 that can't keep tune as well as a PRS SE lol 🤣👍🏻

You missed the best one. The '61 Gibson Les Paul is arguably one of the greatest guitars.

Thumbnail said $99 and within the first 15 seconds, he says minimum of $150

7:55 mf doom fans be like

No no that is no where near level 1 les paul.. if u want to get ancient and have a bare bones les paul I own it. The Epiphone Les Paul SL. Bought this baby awhile back 2019 or so and this thing has 2 single pickups and thats it.

I dont know who, but there is at least one boomer that is drooling knowing that you could own 7 of the exact same shaped guitar, and i wont lie, im a bit mad about it. Mainly cause places like guitar center carry a les paul and strat shape to cater to them, and it unfortunately takes up the entire wall. You'll be lucky to see a flying v.

$6,000 is barely in the custom shop, more like the bottom tiers of les paul am i rite

I have the solution for perfect les paul tuning on my channel

Don’t encourage piracy by recommending Chibsons to new guitarists. They’d be much better off with an Epiphone.

The editing gave me ADHD. Calm down ffs.

Aprende a afinar. No son las guitarras el problema.

It's never worth buying fake Gibson Les Pauls because there is literally no regulation on those guitars so some have been found to have lead paint in them.

Wow, the video is quite long ... I'm skipping through because there is too much talking Edit: I can't finish. WAY too much bla bla bla

I did not! I repeat! I did not want to watch a video that lasts over half an hour. But I just couldn't stop before the end. Please stop making videos!

These types of videos you content creators are doing have become very old and very tiresome..

Sincerely disappointed in this video for promoting counterfeit guitars

I have an epiphone les paul, it has always sounded great to me. Even with the new pickups in it, still sounds great. I've picked up and played Gibsons at guitar center, and it may have been they in desperate need of being set up, but always just sounded bad to me for some reason. Epiphone has always been superior to me.
