Jack, you are the best product demonstrater there is. Your playing, intonation and knowledge are all brilliant. You're such a good player. The 50s one was my favourite.
Agree... I had a tough choice - to buy my dream guitar a Tele - couldnt get both the Elite and American Professional to demo. I had to entirely rely on his demo ! and he solved it.. and now I am a proud owner of an American Pro II Tele. Thanks Jack.
@@Squasagedog thanks Jim. That's the exact answer I was after. That's also the exact kind of music I like 🤣, I'm not into any of the djent stuff. I haven't put my hands on either yet but I reckon the neck is something I'd probably just get used to anyway. Thanks for your advice!
Jesus man!!! How are you not out on tour with some amazing band saving the soul of rock n' f*****g roll?!? Your chops are as good as it gets! From Charleston, SC, in the US, I tip my hat to you good sir!!!
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.
Got sick of the whole Gibson / Les Paul circle-jerk: sold all 3 of them (plenty of wankers still out there thankfully), bought an Epiphone TV Special w/ P90s and a Mexican "Player" Tele. Playing much more & in different styles now.
@@voiceofexperience I still dig Gibsons but they've just got ludicrously expensive, I'm gettin ready to pick up a Yamaha Revstar w/ p90s to complete my arsenal w my Mexican strat and Epi LP
I was hell bent on getting the 60s for it's slim taper neck but after hearing this demo I think the Classic sounded the best. And it's modest look speaks to me the most as well.
Jack you are the PREMIER Demonstrator on line!This demo was precise to the point and you showed us that the LES PAUL is the KING of great Guitar tones.. Not to take it away from the Amp sounds killer!
My problem is that I fall in love with all guitars! I just got a 50s and I love it. Last year I picked up a special with P90s for $600 and it is one of the best guitars I own. You don’t have to spend a lot for a great guitar these days. Just buy what inspires you to play. Now I’m hunting for an amp that sounds like this one.
I liked the 60s the best. I definitely heard a Jimmy Page and Alex Lifeson influence in your playing, well done. The classic also has a nice range of tone choices.
This has been super helpful! I was really leaning towards the 50's, but I wanted the slim taper neck, and I didn't like the color options of the 60's. Lo and behold: the Classic! Heritage cherry sunburst, slim taper neck, and open coil pickups! Now I have the right Gibson!
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 😍
Damn I love watching this dude's videos.....reminds me of how much I need to practice LOL. Peach Guitars is lucky to have him! To think I used to visit my Mom in Colchester so many times over the years.......here I am 30 years later watching these videos....life is full of suprises.
Really good video! I bought the 2020 standard 50s in tobacco burst. I play with the pick guard off, as I like the look. I got it at the beginning of lockdown, and it’s 3am, and I am still playing. 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
I have a 2019 Les Paul Classic Satin limited edition, with classic 57 and Super 57 pickups and a 50s rounded neck with Grover tuners, built in Dec 2018. It’s a real hybrid between 50s and 60s. Great guitar and has that woodyness I was searching for in a single cut. BTW Jack, your playing is absolutely fantastic! Wish I had your chops brother!
Played all of them this past weekend, and for me the classic was the best playing, sounding, and resonating. I bought the classic. I’m in love with it! Owned a 2001 standard and the classic is the only one that comes close to it.
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.
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
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!
Best Les Paul demo video I’ve ever seen. Intelligent format, thorough yet concise, points out similarities and differences in each model, and features great playing. This is the video I will be showing my students. Well Done!
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.
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.
Gibson are reissuing the 1970 Les Paul Deluxe with mini-Humbuckers in March 2021. Colours are Cherry or a Goldtop, and both available in left-handed and right-handed orientation.
I have the 60s and I found that it is the most comfortable neck that I have ever played. I tried the 50s but got quickly swayed away by how chunky its neck is.
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.
Great comparison and and great playing! Thank you for going over all the options and features of each guitar....very helpful. I really like the versatility and the different sounds of the Classic. Thanks again!
I got the LP Special a year ago, and it's just a monster guitar. Right now I recently got an Eastman SB59, waiting for it. Really looking forward to it. But from the video it's the Standard 50's. Has the perfect neck profile and love the BB 1 & 2. But for the money, the Gibson LP Special and Eastman can't be beat.
I heard the riff which I instantly recognised, then spent half an hour trying to rack my brain to think what track it was, then I eventually had to go through the comments so thank you, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to sleep, still trying to think where it came from 👍
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.
Just found your channel a few days ago with the "Tele / Strat / LP Riffs" series. Really nice job comparing these and you have an excellent playing style for these demos. Thanks.
I have a 2019 Standard, but it has all the tonal options of the Classic. Seafoam Green. Best of both worlds. Locking tuners, Burstbuckers, thinner neck, some weight relief.
Yeah, unfortunately your guitar was one of the last to come out of the "dark ages" at Gibson. Your Standard isn't the same as these new back-to-basics standards. All those features you just mentioned are exactly what they wanted to separate from the Standard. I'm sure it's a great guitar. But Seafoam Green, push-pull pots, weight relief, etc. Those things aren't indicative of the classic Les Pauls. Glad they still kept that guitar around but just changed the name. These new range of Standards are exactly the way the Les Paul should be, and should have always been.
@@ScottXC91 2019 was in the dark ages? Less than two years ago. I hear you, but I am a little sick of all the the "classic" LP bursts. Everyone has them, and they all look and sound exactly the same. Gibson still makes the Les Paul Moderns and they sell pretty well. I guess you can say mine is a Modern with the "Standard" name on the Truss Rod cover.
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.
I've got a 60s as I prefer the slim taper. I consistently find it to be a very sweet and round tone. I've got a '61 SG RI that also has the 61r/t pickups. I guess I'm just an unabashed fan of those pickups - though I know I would be more than happy with the BB 1&2s. I've got BB 2&3s in another Les Paul. Like them a lot, but prefer the 61R&Ts for their sweetness and complexity. Got a great deal on a blem Classic (which consisted of few scratches that I easily polished off). I LOVE it! It's become my workhorse LP. I grab it 4 to 1 over my others because there's just something about its presence and punch. Funny thing about the weight relief - can't notice any difference than my 60s, though my other LP is definitely heavier.
Wow! That intro blew me away brother! I have a question, I have a 2021 Gibson Les Paul Studio. Which I love a lot.I like the 60's Les Paul. Really cool. I play quite a bit of Classic Hard Rock, i.e., Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones, Green Day, 38 Special, Skynyrd, AC/DC, Sabbath, that kind of music. Can you recommend another Les Paul for this kind of music? Thank you.
You did a great job on this video I needed to quickly understand the differences between all the Les Pauls and you really helped. The Standard 50s is the one I should look for and the others, once I understood the differences, were obviously not for me. I think it would be the case for anyone. Know the options and then go for what suits you and your journey. Cheers!
I'm glad we could help, that is exactly why we put this video together. To give viewers a better understanding of what makes each individual model unique and hopefully help you make a more informed decision as to which one will suit you best!
I purchased a 60's unburst. Searched Sweetwater site until i found an amazing top! Also just got the new Slash goldtop, also have an amazing 2017 CS Slash Anaconda. The Seymour Duncan's Alnico pro's just blow away the "Slashbuckers "...hands down. Only reason i got the new Slash goldtop is because the head administrator of the Fender/Les Paul forum has more disposable income that he just reviews 70% of what he purchases then sells them. Got that goldtop for 2,000 with an hour of playing on it and pro setup. No tax and still smelled new! Weighs 10.5 pounds though. Jack is a skilled player!😁👍🤘
You could make a legitimate live, solo guitar album just of your playing demos...You're incredible... Love the 50s the most, but the Classic sounds infinitely better than I had anticipated or imagined...Problem for me though is I'd never be able to keep track of all the pulls, pushes, stops, starts, phase reversals, coil taps, blower switches etc etc etc...I also have an ideological problem with chambered Les Pauls...If Gibson were smart, instead of a warranty on the guitar, they'd just give you a year's worth of chiropractor visits when you bought a new LP... I'm also one of those odd types who prefers Goldtops to Bursts...Speaking of which Jack, have you ever demoed or played an LP Standard Goldtop with P-90s?...I find myself staring longingly at pictures of them online far too often these days.... Fantastic work Jack, as always!
my taste would be the 50's and solid body, this classic has the best sound and is extremely beautiful😍.. I wonder if there is this same look as this classic with a solid body and 50' neck!?
The Gibson Les Paul classic sounds amazing!
It does I’ve just purchased this. Very good value.
Jack, you are the best product demonstrater there is. Your playing, intonation and knowledge are all brilliant. You're such a good player. The 50s one was my favourite.
Lee Wrathe from Ibanez guitars too.

your playing on the 60's is absolutely amazing. It sounds like you and that particular guitar just clicked.
I thought the same. But I doubt he realized that.
The playing is unreal. I want that 50s one!
Yes you do! That's the one I got, it's brilliant!
@@Squasagedog how does it go with the heavier stuff?
@@Squasagedog thanks Jim. That's the exact answer I was after. That's also the exact kind of music I like 🤣, I'm not into any of the djent stuff. I haven't put my hands on either yet but I reckon the neck is something I'd probably just get used to anyway. Thanks for your advice!
Not a big fan of the Fillmore. They’re hard to get to sound good.
I've had one of those 50s Tobacco Burst since the release in 2019 and it was worth every penny.
Let's not forget the formidable Studio model, aesthetic aside, pure punch and sustain!
Your ability to bring out the subtle differences in these guitars is so impressive.
Jesus man!!! How are you not out on tour with some amazing band saving the soul of rock n' f*****g roll?!? Your chops are as good as it gets! From Charleston, SC, in the US, I tip my hat to you good sir!!!

classic has the slim neck also
was just going to say the same. The classic sounded amazing.
This channel is gonna be huge really soon, the more videos, the better
There is always at least one spot in Jack’s demo playing that puts a smile on my face. Without fail.🤠
Literally spent all of last week comparing these models. So this video is amazing and greatly appreciated!
Jack you are the PREMIER Demonstrator on line!This demo was precise to the point and you showed us that the LES PAUL is the KING
of great Guitar tones.. Not to take it away from the Amp sounds killer!
The king of farting tone.
The substaine and depth same as my farts.
The farting guitar.
People love farts.
My problem is that I fall in love with all guitars!
I just got a 50s and I love it.
Last year I picked up a special with P90s for $600 and it is one of the best guitars I own.
You don’t have to spend a lot for a great guitar these days.
Just buy what inspires you to play.
Now I’m hunting for an amp that sounds like this one.
I have a 50s Standard Gold Top and its a wonderful guitar
You had any issues with bending? My fingers are sticking like crazy to the board.
@@brianholden2185 No problems with bending. The board is pretty dry from factory, I applied lemon oil to it pretty fast.
Oof, thought the Classic was best for my taste. Awesome playing from Jack as always 🤘
That’s what I bought! I love it
I liked the 60s the best. I definitely heard a Jimmy Page and Alex Lifeson influence in your playing, well done. The classic also has a nice range of tone choices.
The classic sounded awesome.
That guy could make any guitar sound good.
The Filmore is one of the best amps Boogie has released on a while. Great demo - objective and professional.
Already bought a suhr classic s and a tone king falcon grande because of this channel. Thanks for the demos
You should of got a custom shop fender stratocaster or a Gibson custom shop your wasting your money and time on junk
@@blackbearbear9313 "should've" or "should have", not should of. Does explain why you think anything not Gibson or Fender is junk though.
The best explanation of the Gibson guitar concepts I’ve ever heard/watched! 👍
Surprised how good the coil split sounded on the Classic. Usually they sound fairly crap (coil splits), but this sounds really quite good.
I have a LP classic 2019, and I love it!
This has been super helpful! I was really leaning towards the 50's, but I wanted the slim taper neck, and I didn't like the color options of the 60's. Lo and behold: the Classic! Heritage cherry sunburst, slim taper neck, and open coil pickups! Now I have the right Gibson!
50s sound is awesome!
Picked up a 50's Standard Cherry Burst for recording and couldn't be happier. It plays beautiful, has great clean tones and stays in tune.
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 😍
share the delimma!
You can get a 50’s from Sweetwater with an iced tea finish 😉
It comes in honey burst - limited
Damn I love watching this dude's videos.....reminds me of how much I need to practice LOL. Peach Guitars is lucky to have him! To think I used to visit my Mom in Colchester so many times over the years.......here I am 30 years later watching these videos....life is full of suprises.
I still don't know what I want for my first, but this was a great video.

The Classic sounded amazing!
Played all of them this past weekend, and for me the classic was the best playing, sounding, and resonating. I bought the classic. I’m in love with it! Owned a 2001 standard and the classic is the only one that comes close to it.
It's not just mental. The tuners, and really every component on the guitar have an effect on the tone.
You called it right
Excellent review btw.
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.

That 50s Standard, from 11:00 to 12:00 awesome crunchy airy tone, almost got some fender bite & angryness ...great guitar, definately 50s Standard
I have a 1991 Les Paul Classic with Lindy Fralin PAFs. I love that guitar.
Glad someone got good taste for the best guitars
I've got the 50s Standard Tobacco Burst but think the Unburst finish is way cooler - just like a faded '59!
Fantastic playing as always, Jack.
Personally like the Tobacco burst more than unburst. My favourite it Honey Burst it's almost like unburst but not as orange.
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 have a Goldtop Classic and love it!

just ordered the classic in Ebony, 10 lbs after weight relief I'm happy lol
I have a pelham blue 2018 (true)Classic with P90s, natural back, non-relieved. Killer guitar for every genre, not sure about the player in me tho. 😂🙌🏼

The absolute best channel for guitar shopping!
Hello from France.
Classic for me, and the duesenberg caribou just behind you. I have the same...
Now i want a les paul classic in addition
I have a 2019 Standard, but it has all the tonal options of the Classic. Seafoam Green. Best of both worlds. Locking tuners, Burstbuckers, thinner neck, some weight relief.
Yeah, unfortunately your guitar was one of the last to come out of the "dark ages" at Gibson. Your Standard isn't the same as these new back-to-basics standards. All those features you just mentioned are exactly what they wanted to separate from the Standard. I'm sure it's a great guitar. But Seafoam Green, push-pull pots, weight relief, etc. Those things aren't indicative of the classic Les Pauls. Glad they still kept that guitar around but just changed the name. These new range of Standards are exactly the way the Les Paul should be, and should have always been.
@@ScottXC91 2019 was in the dark ages? Less than two years ago. I hear you, but I am a little sick of all the the "classic" LP bursts. Everyone has them, and they all look and sound exactly the same. Gibson still makes the Les Paul Moderns and they sell pretty well. I guess you can say mine is a Modern with the "Standard" name on the Truss Rod cover.
Jack is so good! Thanks bro...great comparison....50s tobacco!
Really enjoying these demos Jack, well done sir!!
Great demo vid. Excellent product knowledge - cleared a few things up for me. Thanks.
Gibson LP Slash owner here… sounds and looks amazing!
Id like to see the Classic vs the Modern as they are both in the modern collection.
Great demo!
Got Two 60's Classics.1 Gold top ,1 Sunburst with Bare knuckle pick ups.😍🤘
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.
Lemon burst Classic here. Love it especially the 8.2 lb wieght!
Be a little suspicious, got a LP classic 2019 GT that weights 9.4 lb.
You rocked that 60s standard man!! If that wasn't your favorite guitar of the bunch you could of fooled me...
I don't think I have ever heard "Best I Can" in a gear demo before. 🤘🤘🤘

I play quite a bit of Classic Hard Rock, i.e., Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones, Green Day, 38 Special, Skynyrd, AC/DC, Sabbath, that kind of music. Can you recommend another Les Paul for this kind of music? Thank you.
I have a Les Paul Classic Gold Top. It’s one of the best LPs I have ever played
I have a '50's Standard in the tobacco burst. LOVE IT!
The classic provides a ton of options and is gorgeous but the weight of it is what throws me off. I chose the 50’s standard and never looked back.
Fantastic demo Jack- love your playing and attitude - terrific talent!
Loved your playing on the '60's at around 19:41. Great vibe!
What a fantastic review! Brilliant player!
You did a great job on this video I needed to quickly understand the differences between all the Les Pauls and you really helped. The Standard 50s is the one I should look for and the others, once I understood the differences, were obviously not for me. I think it would be the case for anyone. Know the options and then go for what suits you and your journey. Cheers!
I'm glad we could help, that is exactly why we put this video together. To give viewers a better understanding of what makes each individual model unique and hopefully help you make a more informed decision as to which one will suit you best!
I got a 60's in Unburst yesterday & it's awesome.
I purchased a 60's unburst. Searched Sweetwater site until i found an amazing top! Also just got the new Slash goldtop, also have an amazing 2017 CS Slash Anaconda. The Seymour Duncan's Alnico pro's just blow away the "Slashbuckers "...hands down. Only reason i got the new Slash goldtop is because the head administrator of the Fender/Les Paul forum has more disposable income that he just reviews 70% of what he purchases then sells them. Got that goldtop for 2,000 with an hour of playing on it and pro setup. No tax and still smelled new! Weighs 10.5 pounds though. Jack is a skilled player!😁👍🤘
Such a great playing, just pleasure to listen. Thanks.
grown into a great player jack, awesome stuff dude
Very Good assessment of all the Les Pauls would love to see a Murphy Labs assessment as well ,Great Job
I bought the classic! Merry Christmas to me! It was a hard choice but it offers what I’m looking for and the honey burst is better than gold!
Great choice, the Classic is a fantastic guitar!
With so much variety this classic makes me want to play for hours!
Very informative tutorial...Thank you!
You could make a legitimate live, solo guitar album just of your playing demos...You're incredible...
Love the 50s the most, but the Classic sounds infinitely better than I had anticipated or imagined...Problem for me though is I'd never be able to keep track of all the pulls, pushes, stops, starts, phase reversals, coil taps, blower switches etc etc etc...I also have an ideological problem with chambered Les Pauls...If Gibson were smart, instead of a warranty on the guitar, they'd just give you a year's worth of chiropractor visits when you bought a new LP...
I'm also one of those odd types who prefers Goldtops to Bursts...Speaking of which Jack, have you ever demoed or played an LP Standard Goldtop with P-90s?...I find myself staring longingly at pictures of them online far too often these days....
Fantastic work Jack, as always!
my taste would be the 50's and solid body, this classic has the best sound and is extremely beautiful😍.. I wonder if there is this same look as this classic with a solid body and 50' neck!?
Was very surprised how different the classic sounded with chambering. Definitely had a touch of semi hollow infused!
Take one of each. Can you play at my birthday party. GREAT playing dude
so much fun to watch you play!
