Wow...starting the year off with a BANG!!...love that dark rosewood fingerboard...Gibsons, they are what they are...they’re not perfect, but if you love’em , you love the warts and all...if you don’t, well then, move along...rock on bro!!!!!
What ive always loved about Gibson and Fender is that THEY are the real deal. They’re tone it’s absolutely amazing put up against any posers, bottom line.
Beautiful guitar! I am currently in the process of trying out this same exact model and a classic myself. I’m leaning more towards this one so far. I already own a Gibson Less Paul Studio. I love it.
Congratulations on that beauty. I myself have two LP that I enjoy playing and looking at them. A 1995 premium plus classic with a great flame top and my baby a 1998 R9 with the most beautiful killer monster flame top thats all over on the front of that guitar. Love these works of art.
I’m torn between the 50’s and 60’s neck. Normally play thinner neck guitars, but the 50’s standard LP Heritage Cherry Sunburst is sweet and feels good! Looking for an ATM. In 2 weeks this guitar is getting signed by Ace Frehley in New Haven, Connecticut. Kiss fan since mid 70’s. Good to see Gibson putting out good stuff again! Enjoyed the video!
I went with the 50s AAA top. Beautiful finish. Love a thick les paul neck, can't stand those thin pencil necks on 60s Paul's. They were offering a $400 price reduction for a limited time which is why I bought it for $2499 instead of $2899. I won't buy a Gibson with their light colored rosewood boards. A Gibson should have dark rosewood always! This 50s has the dark rosewood l Iike a les paul should. If you're buying a Gibson with light colored rosewood fingerboard you're being ripped off.
Haha you are so right about that! Once I was in there I got the bug 😄. Thanks! I had to play some Zep…seeing Jimmy Page play a Les Paul is the first thing that inspired me to play!
I recently bought the AAA 50’s Cherry burst. Love it. Hell, even love just looking at it. One thing I have noticed. All the AAA tops come in cases with the big clasps. I knew yours was a AAA as soon as I saw the case clasps. Great demo. Thank’s. Oh, I also bought the P-90 pickup 50’s Gold Top a couple weeks back, and as with yours all these fretboards need lubricant. They come from Gibson very dry. Again, thanks.
The fretboard on my 50s gold top was absolutely bone dry. Maybe that helps with the build but people should know what to do. I use Music Nomad fretboard conditioner and that really puts the moisture into the wood. It has such a drastic effect that the wood grain in the fingerboard actually expands to a rough surface. Not sure if that makes sense unless you experience it. Anyway I carefully knocked it smooth with some high grit sandpaper and steel wool. It’s now one of the nicest fretboards I’ve owned on par with my prs custom. The pleck fretwork and the rest of the guitar are outstanding.
I randomly found your channel back in its infancy and I've been a subscriber ever since. During that time I think your playing has improved dramatically. So keep doing whatever it is you're doing because it's obviously working 🤘. Btw, I have that same guitar except mines a goldtop w natural back and sides. Still has the same BB 1&2 although the 50's Goldtop version is the only one that gives you the option to have P-90's instead of the BB's. I already have a pair of P-90's in my SG Special so I went with the BB's... and very happy I did. Cheers brother!
I just got a wildwood guitars 60's les paul standard.... but it's in a 50's honeyburst with all the 50's specs with a slimmer 60's neck🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 love the name of your channel!
What a beauty !, good way to start off the new year. Don't you just love the smell of a brand new Gibson Les Paul?, I was hoping you might bust into some Firehouse by KISS, with smoke, lights and pyros of course. Are you getting ready for a bigger room yet, I can forsee a lot more guitars in your future. That guitar surely grew from its infant stage that it was in the case last month, what have you been feeding it?
Man that would have been a good one, I dig Firehouse! Yeah it smells like a mixture of vanilla and wood, really freshens up the place haha! I really am looking at trying to get a bigger place, maybe someday soon. In the meantime I had to let a few go to make space and get funds for more but that’s probably a good thing haha.
I have BB1 and BB2 pickups in a couple of my Les Pauls and these are my favorites. I also like the Cherry over spray between the pickups it gives it a nice look.
Thanks! I’ve wanted one forever but had no plans of getting one, but the price was right and I had to make it happen haha. I sold a few to get it but it was worth it.
This is So hard I have a 2017 SG Standard a Bernie Marsden PRS wich as you know is a copy of the Beast and hey do I buy a 50's Les Paul Standard or a 60's Not Easy what is easier to play guys ?
Interesting - I bought one of these, and it's also heavy in the rear end, which makes the balance a bit iffy when sitting down, more so than my other LPs.
That’s really my only complaint with that guitar. I love it but if I’m going to be sitting down to play I grab something else usually. It sounds great though.
Congrats! I've been meaning to ask someone who just got one if you lowered the pickups or if they came that way from factory? My 60s came with them almost right up against the strings. I've now got the neck down almost flush with the ring and the bridge halfway and noticed almost all the vids I see they are way lower than how mine came. I love the guitar but never understood why they'd set them that high. It was interesting to see your pickup readings. The 61BB are supposed to be hotter I thought with the Alnico V magnets but my neck is 7.43 and bridge is 7.42. Pickguard on as well. Nice video.
Thanks! The pickups came this way but I bought it in a store, they could have messed with them but I doubt it. I have a friend who just got a 60s, I’ll check with him too. If he says they were high I’ll let you know. I heard the 60s pickups were hotter too, interesting!
@@onemoreguitarchannel thanks. Mine were maybe 2/16 from the strings. Must've been closing time and they tossed them in and that was enough. It is my 1st Gibson and when I plugged it in it was so ice picky I thought I was going to have to send it back. Haha. Easy fix though. Thanks for the effort, it earned a Sub. Looking forward to more of your content. Happy New Year.
I’ve always adjusted pickup height on every guitar I’ve owned. I think it’s really a preference thing but Gibson might have a standard speck they don’t actually get right at the build. I know fender does but they’re always off. It’s really easy to play and experiment with the height to find what you like.
That's a great top! You'll want to sell your Epiphones now! The more you play it, the more you'll love it. Quit buying $500 guitars and you can buy a Goldtop too!
The gold top will definitely happen one day, just waiting on the right one at the right time haha. The funny thing about buying affordable guitars right now is that I get to check out new stuff on the channel and they still sell for basically full price or more. It’s a great time to be into guitars haha!
Atta boy Kyle! Sweet, sweet L.P. brother! Man that jewel is pretty. She has a li'l junk in the trunk, huh? You know what that means don't 'cha? Everyday ya gotta work her out hard until she's not a fat bottom girl anymore. It may take a while but think of the fun you'll have working that fine li'l lady out daily! Congrats Kyle!! That's the way to start off a new yearly friend!! Enjoy!!!
Thanks!! Haha! There were so many jokes I wanted to make about that (and a few I had to cut lol). Sometimes a heavy bottom just adds to the beauty though haha. Take it easy!
Had the sixties and I couldn't wait to get rid of it. 61r 61t pickups totally suck. The fifties was probably a better option but I hate burstbuckers. Still can't find or play a Les Paul that's better than my 56 reissue with P90s. As for the color of your guitar it seems borderline clownburst to me? Kinda pink. As long as your happy.
Awesomeness.. I’m totally loving my 50’s Tobacco Burst..they are really nice!!
Wow...starting the year off with a BANG!!...love that dark rosewood fingerboard...Gibsons, they are what they are...they’re not perfect, but if you love’em , you love the warts and all...if you don’t, well then, move along...rock on bro!!!!!
Haha got to start the year rockin’! Yeah sometimes it’s the imperfections that make them special! Happy new year!!
Solid demo. I went with the 60s but it was close coin flip with the 50s. Great guitars!
Thanks! My friend got a 60s around the same time and he loves his too. Hopefully I can get him to bring it by sometime for a video.
Les Paul’s are the most beautiful guitars. Nothing else comes close imo.
What ive always loved about Gibson and Fender is that THEY are the real deal. They’re tone it’s absolutely amazing put up against any posers, bottom line.

Nice Les Paul Kyle ....
I knew once you strolled through the Gibson museum...it was over....
Good Zep riffs to break it in as well
Tangerine, I believe!!!!!
Haha you are so right about that! Once I was in there I got the bug 😄. Thanks! I had to play some Zep…seeing Jimmy Page play a Les Paul is the first thing that inspired me to play!

I have the exact same guitar. Love it, 2021. This colour reminds me of a juicy apple.
That top surprised me also!...very nice

That's a sweet guitar, you're at a new level now, got to get me one!
Wifey JUST bought me one of these for Father's Day/Birthday.
Keep the pick guard. Leave it the way it was from the factory. Don't change a thing, it's perfect.

That fretboard is nice! It almost looks like ebony. Great tone!
Congrats and happy new year! She's a beaut, interested to see a comparison between this and your 59 Epiphone.
Thanks happy new year! Definitely planning on doing that!
Wow that flame top looks 🔥 I’m sure you’re enjoying it to its fullest extent!
I have BB1 and BB2 pickups in a couple of my Les Pauls and these are my favorites. I also like the Cherry over spray between the pickups it gives it a nice look.
Nice one Kyle, I am happy for you.

@@onemoreguitarchannel thank you.
I talked to my buddy, he said he hasn’t adjusted his either. Must be a factory goof lol. Take care!

Nice Job !!
IF you ever want to sell this hit me up here i am interested. Love that top!
Go Braves!
thinner binding and smaller frets are fucking lame. I love my 2013 LP Trad w/ 57s muuuch more now.
They come with built-in mojo, my mother died in 2020, my father died in October of 21, date my guitar cleared Nashville inspection 10/20/21
