You don’t even need to ask me if I would rock the partial burst Les Paul. Just put it in my hands and I’d ask if I could keep it for the rest of my life! It’s one of the coolest Les Paul guitars that I’ve ever seen ever in my life ever!
This reminds me of the Ed King "redeye" 1959 Les Paul (currently owned by Jason Isbell). Apparently in 1959 the red in the cherry burst finish on Les Pauls faded very easily, and in the case of Ed King's there was a swing tag hanging over the selector switch when it was in the window of the store that originally sold it, which prevented the color from fading in that spot.
The Class 5 sound demo is absolutely beautiful-sounding, the kind of thing where I'd totally be asking what amp, what FX, etc., if I weren't so lazy! Maybe I'll check Class 5's out on Reverb sometime. Like, sometime in the next four seconds.
I really dig the look of the 'double whites' on a LP, I straight away think about cool ones from the 70's with DiMarzio SD's & I love the 'tiger top' look so I'd have it in a heartbeat but not for that price. My actual Custom Shop Slash AFD LP cost less than that new shipped to the UK.
I sure would Rock this. During the demo part of this episode I realized that guitar had what Greg Koch calls "Gristle" tone! Kind of some meat on the notes when you dig in a little bit. Nice.............
Finish guy starts adding the cherry burst shop manager “NOOOO!! That flame maple is too pretty to color!” Finish guy “I already did this part.” shop manager “hmm... Class 5 it is.”
What.....? No "likes?" One dude said pretty much the same thing as I, and he has 35! WTH?? And I think it is growing on me, the more I look at it. Maybe I'll dip into the "ol piggy-bank, & treat myself!! V⚡
I've really been wanting a eastman sb56, what are your thoughts. I have a t184 that I enjoy very much. I have had it for a year now and I play it often.
Yea it's a 50/50 It has a train wreck thing going on where you can't stop looking at it. 2 double cream humbuckers is always a plus. Yea I would rock this for a much cheaper price.
@@hkguitar1984 Larry Dimarzio had a 59 les paul. He had a double cream one that sounded amazing. He carefully dissected the pickups and that is the blueprint for his paf's. He even went as far as securing the rights to the double cream bobbin. Thats why they are so hard to find
@@georgemueh3273 100% correct George. After he filed the Trade Mark/Patent for the double cream even Gibson couldn't use the double cream bobbins. Seymour Duncan will sell you white bobbin pickups, but I din't think they offer a humbucker in cream. I dunno, maybe they do now. I believe the patent for the double cream might have expired since we now see many other companies offering the double cream. Myself, I really like the look of the double cream on a Les Paul. Must have something to do with KISS/Ace Frehley just becoming popular back when I first started playing guitar in the mid 1970s.
The question is: on who's guitar are you playing (barely), when you don't have a guitar? :/ Are you the dude always playing on guitars at the local guitar shop?

Get everything insured it is worth the small cost of the temporary policy while you are traveling.

Please someone answer me like I'm 5, why should I care about the tenon or the bridge post ? I don't see that as an excuse for bad tone or lack of sustain

I think just about every pup maker does double whites now but for me, I always think of DiMarzio SD's from the 70's when I see them. At least one of Slash's well known LP's has double black pups too (think it's a '58)
Wow I don't know man I mean yeah it's cool slash held it played it whatever but to be honest I don't idolize or think anyone famous is better than me and I don't think anyone else should either I think the guitar itself is great but that half burst thing I have to say no I'd rather spend half that 4 G and build me a super Strat from Warmoth but hey that's just me right
Came across an acoustic to go with this one.. They call it a whiskey sunset finish reverb.com/item/30864734-martin-dss-17-whiskey-sunset-2019-dreadnought-new-in-box
Yeah, Mr. Evans playing style is really very remarkable, hard to believe his idol was Slash. Glad Buck developed his own style, he's a great player for sure.
it took a second to grow on me but that dude from ratt made it look pretty badass
Thing is gorgeous, for sure would rock!
Thanks for not playing a commercial in the beginning. Cheers!

That's sweet looking. I'd jam that if I could afford it lol.
I would absolutely rock that guitar.
Damn. That Paul you were playing had a nice thick luscious tone to it! Love it.
Yes. I would rock it here. I would rock it there. I would rock it everywhere.
I remember seeing this guitar put up for sale a couple of years ago. A strange look but seems like a player!
Right, Trogley, the knobs make it look right,

I LOVE the amber meets bourbon color combination but definitely think it would look better with a full teardrop burst
I would absolutely rock that guitar!
Most definitely would Rock that! Reminds me of Joe Perry's Boneyard LP a bit, mainly that beautiful flamed lower half. Love that color!
Gorgeous, absolutely would rock it
Looks like a good finish for Chibsons to copy.
I think you should keep this one. It response well to your playing style vs other reviews I’ve hear you do.

Always entertaining!! Thanks!!
Class 5 my fav les Paul honestly
I like it, it looks pretty cool, it does look like the slash model, it has a nice tone to it, sounds a little different than a standard
Remembers me to the new Lee Roy signature, looks very very nice.
The new company Firefly are making LP's with that color fade in a blueberry fade and what they are calling a blood fade. I think it looks pretty cool.
I'd Rock That Thang!
I would like to see one in Amber
And Blueberrie !🤟
I remember seeing Slash playing one of those.
I sure would Rock this.
During the demo part of this episode I realized that guitar had what Greg Koch calls "Gristle" tone!
Kind of some meat on the notes when you dig in a little bit.
Nice.............
agreed
Wow! Stunning! Yes!
Rockable. If this had gold hardware, it would be over...the..top...cool.
I’m freakin in love with this guitar ♥️
Looks like a Lee Roy Parnell '59 Les Paul Standard...
The burst is called Abilene Sunset Burst
Yeah, I believe all the Parnell signature Les Paul guitars have a stinger too!
Beautifull, looks it has the thick binding.
It looks amazing
It looks nice but I wish the transition from burst to wood wasn't so stark. If it were a little more subtle burst into body would look awesome!
Finish guy starts adding the cherry burst
shop manager “NOOOO!! That flame maple is too pretty to color!”
Finish guy “I already did this part.”
shop manager “hmm... Class 5 it is.”
It's like the AFD Slash Les Paul got some wine spilled on it.
Trog You should buy it and review it for us!
Yep ! Beautiful top 👌
That top, oh my word...
I love it. Because its different. And it looks super nice at least for my opinion. The only thing i dont like about it is I cant afford it.
Sure, I'd rock that.
Yip, I would rock that.
I just checked the price on these, they are like $4-5k on Reverb now!
I could see this being available in a shit-ton of color.
Weren't these tone-chambered as well? Super weird for a Custom Shop Les Paul.
ROCK❗️
I'd help it make a Jr. Kind of looks like the boneyard with the figuring. Still want a Tokai LS model. Affordable and soundwise it's untouchable.
Yeah! I'd rock the "partial burst" Les Paul, BUT....I don't have the cash on hand!! V⚡
What.....? No "likes?" One dude said pretty much the same thing as I, and he has 35! WTH?? And I think it is growing on me, the more I look at it. Maybe I'll dip into the "ol piggy-bank, & treat myself!!
