Solid mahogany body with a beautiful medium-flame, wiggly, tight pinstripe, Cherryburst solid carved maple top which has uniformly faded to a wonderful shade of "Ice Tea" One-piece mahogany neck with that oh so perfect '59 profile. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. Inlaid pearl trapezoid (crown) position markers. Two PAF humbucker pickups (double-black) with outputs of 7.86k and 7.78k.

      Snake Plissken well yes, you are right about the name. I dont know what LPJ means, but it doesnt mean Les Paul Junior. But I've listened to demos etc, and no, this LPJ can't be compared to a 59 Les Paul. In fact no Gibson guitar can be compared to that simply because that's when Gibson hit their peak. And they say so themselves. It's not a conspiracy, it's just the perfect Gibson Guitar, just accept it.
      Oh and by the way, you are the fool cause you spent more than 750$ on your IKEA coloured LPJ(with mediocre pickups) , while I spent less than 600$ on my 2008 used Les Paul Studio. Now this is a deal my friend.

      @doublestrokeroll 9 лет назад +1

      They were never that much. And now there not anywhere near 250 grand either. Baby Boomers are dying and nobody else cares that much to pay huge coin for these guitars. In twenty years 59 bursts will be right where they should be around 30 to 70 grand.

    • @1971SuperLead
      @1971SuperLead 9 лет назад

      doublestrokeroll I have a 1993 Epiphone Les Paul, and it sounds just like a 1959 Les Paul. I think the reasons for this is that it's fairly light weight for a Les Paul and the pick ups are unpotted, just like the old 59ers were unpotted. The light weight gives it more of a hollow body tone, while the unpotted pickups pick up more of the wood's resonant tones. Just a hunch, but I'd put money on it that I'm right.
      I own three vintage Les Pauls and sadly none really fool me into thinking I've got a 59 tone, but that Epiphone never fails to make me think it sounds like a 59. I love Jimmy Page, and even used to be in a Led Zeppelin tribute band. So I'm very familiar with Page's tone.

    • @doublestrokeroll
      @doublestrokeroll 9 лет назад +1

      It's interesting cause somewhere on line the have a list of the weights of many of the 59's on record and they are almost all under 9lbs. I was a bit surprised to see this one as being nine and a half. I do think that weight range has a big part to play in the tone.
      I've got an Oville by Gibson (Japanese made gibson) that is 8 pounds even....solid...no weight relief or chambers....and it sounds amazing too. So yeah....I agree with you....people think LP's need to be heavy...I think it's the other way around...they need to be light....not too light.....but that 8 to 10 pound range is where it's at.
