I recently bought one in satin mist gold and i love it! Ive owned 5 Les Pauls and this one is my favorite out of all of them. Its light weight, comfortable, has a super thin, fast neck. Oh and it absolutely rocks!! Lol Great guitar! If you're thinking about getting one, do it! You wont be disappointed. Just my 2 cents.
I really enjoyed it! And yes it does really remind me of the LTD in a lot of ways (thinner, contour carve) but with the feel of a Gibson. Thanks for watching!!
@@claytonjones705of course! So I have a question, how much can you feel the wood grain on the neck? Is it a bother? That’s really my only concern about it. I love satin necks but that open pore kind of throws me off!
It doesn’t feel like bare wood. The finish is very slick and I noticed I could move up and down the neck very easily. You can certainly feel the grain of the wood initially, but I think once you start playing and get in the groove, that feeling melts away pretty quick.
Enjoyed this discussion and demo, nice to see the TV Wheat in a demo. Haven't tried one yet in a store as price isn't low enough in Canada to justify. Looks to take the best features of my SG and LP together and even lighter than my LP Special. The new Studio that's come out this month with coil taps and gloss finish (and blueberry!) is oddly priced in Canada same as the Modern Lite at $2000CAD, so I'm waiting for the inevitable sale of the less popular Modern Lite to pick up a TV Wheat like yours. Agreed about the case, I've got that awesome Gibson gig bag and it is way less likely for neck breaks in the gig bag cause it flexes, but is also rigid enough for general protection. Best gig bag out there. Now if I can avoid the temptation to buy a Victory instead...
I bought one just like this last month. As I said to the sales guy, it is essentially a single cutaway SG. And it's actually rerun of the first Les Paul I ever bought, back in the late 90s, The Paul SL, later known as the Les Paul Studio Lite. Same mahogany body with the back bevel. the difference was in the finish (black headstock and not body colored and no pickguard), and the pickups. My old one had the 496R/500T pickup combination. Let me add that it is an outstanding jazz guitar. I have mine setup with .012-.053 flatwounds and it is brilliant.
@@MountainMusicExchange Here’s an example I did a couple of weeks ago: ruclips.net/video/BXJRXS_XEOA/видео.htmlsi=DNi8-B_HgSmB1edH Given that when the original Les Paul (for that matter, the Telecaster and Stratocaster) arrived on the scene when flatwound .012s were the normal light gauge, I figure I am just being “historically correct.” But then, few people play them with a clean tone or in any way approximating the traditional jazz tone post-Clapton etc. I had the great fortune to see Les Paul himself a few times, so I avoid distortion, as Les and Ted McCarty originally intended.
After a long time trying to make my hands fit 25.5" or 24" scale guitars, I finally 'discovered' that 24.75 is exactly where I need to be. SG geometry doesn't fit my style, and an ES-339 is too expensive, but this Les Paul is checking all the boxes for me.

We couldn't agree more! Thanks for checking out the video!
Thinking about picking this up. Reminds me of my old main LTD!

Flatwounds huh?? We might actually have to try that!!!

Cool
I like this guitar for its simplicity, just grab and play, but I wish they'd do some darker colours. That neck pickup sounds nicely open.
We dig it here, too! Less wood but just as much "Guitar"
Love the guitar -- except for the finishes.
🤟
Avec des tas d'effets normal que cette merde sonne un minimum !!! Shit "guitar" that's all. Gibson Les Paul Tribute 👌
