Thanks to LyxPro for sending you the guitar and for another great demo, review, and video. It appears to be well worth the price. Please keep the great videos coming, Richard.
Dude that sounds sick. Your vibrato is on point. For 200 dollars you shouldn’t expect a 5k les Paul . It looks and sounds pretty good. I’m personally not a Les Paul fan , but if I were I would get that.
Another really good review of still another affordable but apparently pretty good guitar. The only problem I can possibly imagine on any of these reviews by folks such as yourself is that, since you are all serious professionals, the concern for many of us ordinary, regular players is that people like you can probably make almost any guitar sound pretty darn good! Hmmm...🤔
I Bought one! I Can't believe how good this guitar is. It is so easy to play. And it has a bounce to it. It's a Chucker. I bought it to beat up and abuse and I think it's gonna be my number one guitar. And that's right out of the box. still haven't taken the plastic off the pickups. lo
Great review as always! Found your channel a couple of days ago and have just been mega-binging since. Keep it up! Great playing, great style. Super enjoyable content. Shred-tastic :).
I just got one of these and aside from a few flaws in the finish. One a perfect fingerprint. Going to run it thru IAFIS! LOL Aside from the action on mine being low it is set up very well it's actually intonated as well. Tuners look cheap but really feel and work well. The worse, my pick ups are crazy microphonic. OK on the cleans but a little gain and distortion my neighbors are probably thinking I am butchering pigs in my apartment on the side! This was gifted to me so I have no real complaints. I am sure I have a set of pick ups in the parts box I can swap out quick.
Wow!! Cool man, thanks for the review!!. I'm always looking for budget friendly good quality guitars. I remember back like 30 years ago the cheaper stuff was Fender Squiers and even they were close to 400
If you ever change the pickups, go for some black/cream "Zebra" colored pickups. They'll make the guitar look better. Of course, that's just my opinion. Based on my experience when I had a gold top LP with the Zebra pickups. 🙂
There's a wicked massive glut of affordable guitars now... Not good for the overpriced high end guitars, but good for us because their prices will start coming down with an extremely saturated guitar market... 💥
What i find mind-boggling is in 1984, i wanted an electric guitar. I found a generic les paul style guitar in the 1984 sears christmas catalog and it was $250. Thats $750 today. A real les paul was around $600. I was 11. My dad said, how much? And its not even the real thing? I never got it. I got $50 worth of Transformers and a fake Michael Jackson beat it jacket for $25. The guitar had no case and the generic amp in the catalog was another 200 bucks. Fast forward to 2023, im 50. I got a fake les paul for $150 on amazon with a coupon, normally, 189 bucks. I git a gig bag for 29 bucks and an Orange Crush 25 watt amp with reverb for another $150. Another Amazon coupon for 50 bucks off after i bought the guitar. All free shipping. I got what i wanted 40 years ago for less than the stuff in the sears catalog then. This is definatelty the golden age of cheap guitars! A real les paul at guitar center is $3000 by the way today.
Beautiful Les Paul and awesome playing mate!, how's the size of the neck? is it the traditional baseball bat or the modern thin ones? I will try to look for a Chibson Gold Top on DH Gate or Alie Express.😅 I've seen a seller offering a custom made Gold Top Chibson like that.
I don't have the guitar anymore, but from memory the neck was not overly chunky but also not super slim. Very comfortable. Not sure on the weight. Felt like my other LP guitars so not super light.
@@thebaldshredder HaHa, Dude. I looked. And all they had under 'The Bald Shredder Air Freshener' was a Jeffery Epstein one. That's unfortunate. But I believe in the ability of a representation of your presence to hang from the rear view mirror of another human's car. Do you have that amount of belief in yourself?
My neighbor got this but he let his 6-year-old kid play it and he peanut butter and jelly up the strings and he squirted syrup down in the pickup cavities when the dad wasn't at home
I've only tried their LP, but those strats look pretty cheap. The frets were ok as far as being level and good size, but they did need to be cleaned up a bit with steel wool.
I dislike the horn. It's not horney enough.😁 It almost looks straight. A Florentine horn shape would have looked great. It's the same shape as the Firefly.
Hey man Great video! I have the Gold Top too. I love it. Got to do a bit a fret work. but, that's what I bought it for. I want make a monster guitar. I was surprised though because I have other Les Pauls and they do not feel as comfortable. It's gotta be the neck profile. I can't figure out what the profile is. I have e-mailed Lyx. I am still waiting on a response. Do you know what the neck Profile is? Thanks.

Will do. 🤘
You are right!
Golden age for budget guitars!
Awesome playing Richard! 🤘
Thanks Andy!
Love the gold top! Awesome playing Richard!
Thanks Brian!
dude this guitar sounds freakin amazing, cant believe it!

I'm not a les paul guy either, but this is definitely a great guitar for 200 bucks.

Very nice! Those stock pickups have some great harmonic overtones to them and the squeals just fly off. Really cool for the low price.
Thanks. Yeah pretty amazing for this price.
Good to know that if I hit really hard times I can sell my Historic and get something decent for $200. 🤘

I got the Leo Jaymes cherry sunburts single cut and absolutely love it!

Thanks for watching. Cheap stuff nowadays is really quite good.
That thing rocks young man ! Very nice!
Great demo and review Robert, that sounded awesome 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sounds like it has a lot of feedback, especially for a solid body.
Great job. I have one coming soon.
Every guitar sound great with a great guitarist
Very nice! I may have to join you and get my hands on one after Halloween! Thanks for the video and review!
Thanks Tony!
I have one coming! I have a feeling it won't sound anything like that with me playing :(. Your awesome on it.
Thanks! You're going to love it.
Love me a Les Paul style geetar! Decent price too. With some hotter pickups it would roar! Thx for the demo !
Great review,Die hard the hunter,👌 budget guitar totaly insane!
I had the sunburst and sold it before I got on the Firefly bandwagon almost have the same body styles , great review!
Subscribed because of the awesome playing hhaaha
Cool, thanks!
Seems a very cool guitar! Sounds very nice!!!
You absolutely have that 200 usd lp sounding incredible.
Thanks

I'm sure it would look cool, but I don't have this guitar anymore.
Sounds great and just beautiful. Love enjoying your artistry.
Thanks Jamie
Another fantastic video Mr. Shed.....You should see what metal dude thinks about the beautiful gold color....
Damn……that clean was beautiful
Thanks
@@thebaldshredderI love the video my man, could you tell me that clean riff you played please?
arrrgg...toying with the idea of getting the sunburst model...I was leaning towards "nah" but now you got me thinking "yah" lol!
😁
@@thebaldshredder How are you liking that guitar so far? Recommended purchase?
I'm not really a Les Paul guy, but if you're looking for a good quality LP at an extremely affordable price, this is excellent.
@@thebaldshredder right on, thanks!

It's not huge, so more like the modern thin ones.
Thoughts on a shootout between lyx pro and leo Jaymz les paul guitars?
Leo Jaymz wins, hands down.
LYX Paul!!!!! Did it come shipped with a fortune cookie?!?!?
It did, but there was no fortune in it! Can you believe that???
@@thebaldshredder haha what a response 🤣
How is the neck profile? Slim, chunky? Weight?
I don't have the guitar anymore, but from memory the neck was not overly chunky but also not super slim. Very comfortable. Not sure on the weight. Felt like my other LP guitars so not super light.
What’s your favorite cheap guitar I have glen burton Sg killer plays better than 2500$ one at local music store I payed 180 with amp and tuner
Leo Jaymz Monsoon
Looks sick!
For sure!
Looks pretty sick
thanks
Dayum. That bling tho
Does this guitar come with a gig bag?
I want a Bald Shredder air freshener for my car. Loud N Proud
Wear the same socks for a week, don't wash them, then hang them in your car.
@@thebaldshredder That's what I'm talkin' about! AttiTude! 👍🏼
@@thebaldshredder I still want the air freshener, dude.
@@patrickkish6662 check Amazon maybe they have it

Hell Yes. That looks Great! & Sounds Great! And its not $4500.00 dollars.!! lol
Why anyone would pay 4500 for a guitar is beyond me.
Are the fret wires sharp as you play and kinda tear at you as you run your hand up and down????
No
@@thebaldshredder thanks....I think I need one!!!
They're really a great deal at that price.
Honey is where its at. Very Greeny!
Out of their 4 colors, this one really stands out to me.
I have the gen 1 tempest I had to shim the neck a bit that’s my Judas guitar
My neighbor got this but he let his 6-year-old kid play it and he peanut butter and jelly up the strings and he squirted syrup down in the pickup cavities when the dad wasn't at home
Noooooooooo that’s so sad 😂
This or Epiphone special 2?
Not sure. Haven't played one in a long time.
It’s all in the Amp
what amp do u use in this?
Line 6
Did you weigh it man?
According to my cheap non-digital scale, it appears to be 8 pounds. Very solid.
Price
Soon as I saw it I thought of slash from guns in roses 😆
Purchased a LyxPro strat copy. Worst thing i've ever played in my life. How were the frets when you got this LP copy?.
I've only tried their LP, but those strats look pretty cheap. The frets were ok as far as being level and good size, but they did need to be cleaned up a bit with steel wool.
You like Dokken?
Yep
I've yet to try LP type. Haha still a Newb!!
You've never played an LP?
😮mine sounds like shit what's the trick. Do I have to set it up and change the strings
Definitely change the strings and setup if necessary.
Thank you bald shredder
I dislike the horn. It's not horney enough.😁 It almost looks straight. A Florentine horn shape would have looked great. It's the same shape as the Firefly.
shredding hehe
no pinky used in this video
There wasn't a lot of pinky action, but there was some.
@@thebaldshredder nice video i'm just joking . and also very nice budget guitar !
What if I been playing 45 years as good as WATER TROUT.. WILL I BE PISSED?
... skill not included. 😜
That's extra. 40 years of practice extra.
@@thebaldshredder Well it certainly shows. 😎👍
@UCWdCaf4-GfdJCHAQiE4zI4Q I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly?
@@thebaldshredder Did I get spammed about winning a prize from you that I was picked for? Something about Telegram.
@@EternalOvercomer probably, I'm doing my best to block and delete but they are like cockroaches. Just ignore it.
Potted Pickups????
Idk why but I would think the pickups wouldn’t work if there being covered with plastic
I have to point out the elephant in the room - it looks cheap and nasty.
Omg🫦
Hey man Great video! I have the Gold Top too. I love it. Got to do a bit a fret work. but, that's what I bought it for. I want make a monster guitar.

I'm sorry I'm not sure. And I don't have this guitar anymore. But I'm glad you like it. It really is a good guitar.
@@thebaldshredder O'kay Thanks! BTW how many guitars do you go through....lets say a month?
Varies from month to month. Sometimes none or I might get up to 4.
Apparently according to their website it's a C, mine feels like a thick C
The HARLEY BENTON Gold Top Les Paul is only $139!
