@nickardasis4 3 года назад

Among these, the 50s Standard would be my pick 100%. The Classic would be 2nd as it's quite a bit cheaper, looks great and has the extra tonal options. Looks like a better 60s version in my opinion. But 50s Goldtop with P90s is the only LP I'd buy personally, for the kind of music that I play.

Sonicly for me, the 50s is definately the best without a doubt. Unfortunately I'm not so into the finishes for those guitars. I know, it would not be historically accurate and all, but imagine a 50s Style Les Paul in Bourbon Burst or Iced Tea... That would be the absolute dream for me 😍

@RodClark 3 года назад

The new 60's is the perfect storm for me - non-weight relief, Grover tuners, thinner neck, Alnico 5 pickups with unbalanced coils and a nitro finish. I've bought two of them (an Iced Tea and an Unburst - btw the unburst looks better on the internet, the iced tea looks better in person). All I did was swap out the awful truss rod cover that says "Standard" on it with a blank one, and put the non-reflector top hat knobs on (like the 50's one). Literally the perfect guitars. I love them to no end.

Really well done. Fantastic tone, fantastic playing. You really do these proper justice and milk everything a rock and roller would do with them (though I have a feeling that you're capable of quite a few styles!) I love the 'dry Marshall' tone you dialed in. I got a 60's Standard 6/19. Before that, I looked for a new Les Paul for 20 years and finally settled for PRS Singlecuts, but they never scratched my itch. Since the Les Paul purchase, I've added an SG '61 Standard and a Les Paul DC Special. Love them all - though the new SG needed fretwork done (dead spots) which kind of disappointed me, but my tech will get it right in no time. Thanks for a great vid!

@alexguitar841 3 года назад

It looks less cool in person honestly. I thought the exact same thing but seeing it in person... the high gloss with the worn out finish just don't quite match up. Not to take away from the guitar at all I was just a little let down personally

I don’t want to wake the house up, so I play unplugged at night, doing scales and riffs. I have other LPs and this is my favorite, as it has specs like a custom shop, and I think it’s better. Thanks again for the time. Steve

@nicoladolby2154 3 года назад

Very impressed with the sound of the ‘60s Les Paul. The classic is ideal for those who want coil splits (and looks so much better than the ‘modern’). A Les Paul 50s does what it says on the tin, though to me the one with P90s (not in this video) sounds so much better. Was disappointed with the Slash guitar pickups though, too much middle & treble in the sound for me. Then again, it’s all about individual choice. I think I’d go for the ‘60s or get a ‘50s with P90 pickups.

@ericcrapton8275 2 года назад

I ended up getting a 60s standard in bourbon burst. I kinda like fat necks but it just felt easier to play for longer on the 60s and something about the feel and tone and the beautiful top on this particular one sold me hard. I fell in love for sure.

Killer playing and demo! In the old days (mid '90's), the "Classic" model had ugly greenish fret markers, super high output uncovered 498/490 pickups, and a '1960' engraved on the pickguard. It was the only way to get a slim taper neck though.

@michaelseal9714 Год назад

@love4boost 3 года назад

Beyond happy with my 60’s standard. I play both clean and high gain. Now my clean isn’t completely a true clean because I have a Marshall dsl20cr so it’s a clean gain. But you can turn the gain down, volume up, use your guitars knobs to get the desired tone, then between my drive and compressor pedals I can boost the volume. I know it’s a lot to get desired tones but you have a ton of range. Also once you switch over to channel 2 it’s absolutely glorious. Gives all the old school rock tones you desire. I love the 50’s especially for the fatter tone. But it doesn’t fit my playing style and I prefer Grover tuners and a thinner neck profile.

@ronnance 2 года назад

Excellent comparison vid! I’m currently awaiting a Flame Maple Trad Pro V that’s shipping my way. To me, it seems to marry the 50’s trad feel/sound with the modern tech and multi-tonal options from the splits&taps of the push-pull pots.

@GibsonVOS58 3 года назад

That particular Standard 60's you are playing I do think it sounds more like an old school Gibson compared to the others. It had more wood tone in it, more dry tone and like an old Gibson really :) First time I heard a 60's standard to speak this way :), A snarly, a lot of attitude, feisty and yet warm and that oumph in it.... Damn that sounded better than some earlier Custom Shop I had... Or its just your playing, your stupidly awesome playing, I hate you hahahahaha ( joking of course :D )
