I was on the edge about buying this same guitar, but this video pushed me over the edge and I brought it home yesterday! Now I understand why the cost is greater than other Les Pauls. You have to experience it. Thanks for the review of this Les Paul R8 Murphy Lab.

Got my Gibson Les Paul. Experimented with the top wrap. Watched two or three videos about it. It tends to be true that the sustain lives for another two seconds, maybe more depending on distortion. Different players say different things regarding top wrapping. I think, "comfortable." That says a good lot.

I have now done it with my R9 and my Explorer. Both revealed positive results in feel. Tone and sustain for me was negligible or not observed. Thank you for sharing. This is all part of the fun.

Mine is 8.8 lbs. Would have preferred closer to 10lbs. But I am very happy with it anyway. I just got it earlier this month. Had it been 7lbs and change, I would have returned it. Too light for me. This is actually my first ever guitar. I don't like to buy things twice. I don't like the word upgrading or upgrading later. Upgrades cost more in the end. Spend 2-3K now with the idea of upgrading later and you're at 8 to 10K later. Now that is expensive.

I've been playing Les Pauls for many years. I've had a lot of good ones including a Jimmy Page signature, Black beauty Custom, and an R8 in butterscotch. I sadly don't own any of them anymore do to personal reasons. Believe me, I didn't want to part with any of them. In 2021 I was able to save little by little for an R8 non-Murphy Lab. No disrespect to those that have to have it. I like things shinny and new, I will be the one to break it in naturally. Before I purchased my R8, I tried an R9 and a R0 and the R8 felt right, Chunky neck and man did it ring even unplugged. So I bailed out on the Page and Clapton but ended up with a Mick Taylor. 58's do it for me. My R8 is my #1 and even if someone threatened me with a gun, they would have to shoot me for it. You spend about $5799 for them and up, but to me worth every penny because it has that it factor that you can't explain in words. Cool video, R8's rule!

Are the R8's more difficult to play because of the thicker neck? I noticed my pickguard holder has some "rust" spots, I am wondering if that is part of the aging process. I did not notice anything with the pickguard holder in this video

Sorry man. I really grant you that expensive Murphy lab LP. But put this aside. Does the Murphy lab affect the sound ? Most importantly, from what I've heard and seen. I put you in an LP standard category. You could be very happy with a decent LP standard or if you want to go a little more expensive, do an LP Custom. But no harm done. Congratz on your LP '58 Murphy lab.
@tweedcouch
@tweedcouch 2 года назад
Thanks man. Jason loves the R8 ML. I have an LP Classic and it was my main guitar for a long time. I tried out a number of Standards over the years but none made me want to leave the Classic. I played just a handful of customs. Then I played some R9’s and they seemed to be what my hands had been looking for and I liked the way the Custombuckers interacted with the amp. The R8 ML is pretty great in feel and it inspired some different riffs out of me but I preferred the R9.

My understanding is top wrapping decreases tuning stability in exchange for supposedly a smidgen of better tone. Not worth it imo.
@tweedcouch
@tweedcouch 2 года назад
The tuning stability has been holding which is good. This guitar sounded better too wrapped to me but I think that is more likely due to how much more comfortable the strings felt this way. I own a number of Gibson’s but never felt the need to top wrap. Still don’t.
