Uncle Larry lines up a couple PAF equipped suspects in a tone identification interrogation...
a 57 Les Paul Standard, a 58 Les Paul Standard and a 63 es-335
We all know that it's impossible to REALLY hear anything in this iPhone mic'ed scenario, but let's just act like we can hear, and play along for fun.

The clarity on that '57 Goldtop is insane... It has the punch & the snarl you want without any of that humbucker smear... At times you would think those are single coils but then you get hit with all that power & midrange. A very special guitar. Hold on to it

@stashe8083 8 месяцев назад

It is between the Goldtop and the Burst for me. I feel like the articulation on the Goldie hits a certain way but the Burst has a fullness to it that is tough to match. Thank you for letting us hear you playing these awesome instruments! 🙏🏻😎

@JDWH 8 месяцев назад

I know there’s a ton of great players on the earth and a ton of great vintage guitars on the earth, but for what ever its worth I couldn’t be happier that a player such as you Tom has one of each of the holy grails, a burst, a gold top and a 335.

I heard back in his early days, Eddie hooked a Buk-O-Vac up to his Marshall amp to find his 'brown sound'.

@randydean23 8 месяцев назад

To my ears_ the Burst and ES-335 were pretty similar in tone, but with the semi-hollowness of the 335 giving it more overtones over the course of the note being played. Some of these overtones might make it seem Muddy, but certainly less nuanced than the Burst which had a variety of mid and low range hues_ BUT to my surprise I felt like the 57 had a much more clearly defined top end and a brightness that neither the Burst nor the 335 had in the bag, but it seemed it came at the expense of a slightly more scooped mid range and not as much low end definition. To me it wasn't all that subtle a difference between the 3 really with the Burst and 335 being the most similar to each other but while all three sounded like Gibson guitars they each had their own place in that sound staked out. Like I say_ at least to my ears. 😂I appreciate the comparison as I likely won't have the opportunity to hear these 3 played back to back like this again anytime soon. It was a real treat. Thanks Uncle Larry Your Pal, RDW

@rianadams4837 8 месяцев назад

I'm the fortunate owner of an old inherited Gibson from my granddad. Those 2 pickups differ drastically... the neck pickup has a growl, and the bridge has more smooth compression. Tom, for yours... to my ear, I love the neck on Goldie Lox; it's almost like it's primed for some of the old-school Gospel/church music because it's close to a religious experience. I gotta say, the bridge on the 335 had me at hello. But dude, the Burst is a Rock and Roll machine! Thanks for showing us the PAF stash.

They’re all “wet dream “ worthy yet so different. Those neck pickups are simply sublime, yet so different. Correct me if I’m wrong, but they seem to inspire you to play somewhat differently on each of them. Great video, Tom. Greetings from Cleveland, Ohio. Go Brownies!

@adamjoseph2704 8 месяцев назад

To my ears, its all in the attack of each instrument. The '57 has the snappiest, more twangy attack, followed by the bold fat attack of the Burst followed by the airy 335 which was to be expected being semi-hollow. I also would bet that the pickups in the Burst are a tad hotter than those in the '57 Goldie just because I hear a bit clearer note bloom with less compression on the Goldie. But honestly it really is splitting hairs because in the end they do sound very similar in the big scheme of things. All 3 instruments sounded amazing.

@timgant7141 8 месяцев назад

@rezakhan8290 8 месяцев назад

I liked all 3 of them. Tonally they are different. 58 is more airy, clear. It was my favourite and I judged my guitars based on that tone. Always tuned in to hear it. 335 is sweet , round and full sounding. But Damn, that 57 is my new favourite. It has everything and more. Keep it, play it. That will be my new "Gold standard" of LP tone . Stay blessed.

@martinstender 8 месяцев назад

I dig the 'bending without vibrato' approach. For some odd reason, I spend a lot of time over the decades to get better at bending *with* vibrato - sorta Lukather style. Depending on taste, of course, I think he gets away with it just fine. But after you have pointed out, that it's mostly better (YMMV) just to get to the note, and maybe add a little vibrato as the note rings out, it definitely has helped me to sound more relaxed. And for some odd reason, it brings out more emotion 🙏

@trevorwimberly4386 8 месяцев назад
