Drat, I missed it! Too late. Sold. Foiled away. Watching these videos is like guitar p-rn. I'm never going to to able to afford that instrument, but it's so good to oogle it's curves.
@@karterdowd606 no you couldn’t. An original 58 in the same condition as this will cost you maybe £500k. Kidneys are currently going for about 20% of that. But if you’ve got 5 kidneys….? But then, you’d make more money as a medical freak lol…
@@iaingraham7276 i mean just looking it up on what a kidney costs is 262,000. If I just search on reverb I can buy a 1960 and I’m very close to buying a 1959. However this price on kidneys could be wrong
Whenever I see Dagan sporting the black nail polish, I imagine a big guy like him with a tiny brush putting his nail polish on. I find that very funny for some reason. No disrespect intended. Very nice LP ! Love the Iced Tea finish too. One of my favorite finishes for a Gibson LP.
I've been fortunate enough to play roughly around a dozen original bursts between 58, 59, and 60. Its amazing how much variation can be between them. I've played 60's with chunky 59 feeling necks. 59's with "slim" feeling necks, and all the 58's i've played (my favorite year) have had the biggest necks. Have also been lucky to own three original goldtop's two 1952"s and one 1953. The neck on the 53 had a nice "v" to it. Considering picking up a new r8 or r9
Awesome guitar. I bought a used one that was used for 4 songs by a touring rocker for $3500.00. It was basically brand new. Right place at the right time.
@@jamesmarcin4787 mine is 8lbs. Fat, round light maple neck with narrow tall frets just like the custom shop ! I paid $675 for mine 2020 cherry burst with the Browne leather Gibson Swift case.
Sitting here watching and here's what's running thru my mind....1. That finish is beautiful, my favorite on a LP and that one is no exception! 2. That sound...I'm dying to hear you crack into a Jimmy Page/Led Zep riff. 3. Never thought I'd ever hear myself saying this but maybe I need to offload some/most of my stuff to acquire one of those...😯😯😯 🤔🤔🤔
You don't need to sell your house to get a nice Gibson. They are making the Gibson Les Paul studio tribute with exact plain top and same frets but light hard maple necks that gives me more bite and karrang but some of the mid range asymmetrical honk isn't as pushy as a non weight reduction body with mahogany neck but I'm very happy with tone I get, it's close to a Les Paul special double cut Jr but I love those too !
Why is no one commenting upon the total lack of plastic pip on the pick-up switch? That's a £4500+ guitar with missing bits. It's like racing in the Indy 500 without a gear stick. You people are heathens.
Are these weight relief or chambers !? It's sounds just my Les Paul studio tribute Cherry burst with a baseball bat maple neck and totally weight relieved And very affordable ($675) is what I paid and it's sounds identical going into my 100 watt 1959 Plexi clone !🤷🏻♀️ go figure !?
Wow, no offence meant but I’m tempted to say you have bad ears. These aren’t weight relieved, Gibson spend a fortune on finding the lightest mahogany so they can build these ones as proper solid bodies. If you think this sounds the same as your tribute (which is a good guitar) then I can only assume you never heard from the two together without all the overdriven sound that Dagan was using. The tribute’s a great guitar for the price. This is in a totally different league.
This is a Les Paul Standard made to replicate 1958 specifications by the Gibson Custom Shop. They make the high end Gibson guitars, usually reissues/replicas of vintage guitars (such as this one) in a separate facility from the Gibson USA factory and they use entirely different manufacturing processes. The word "Custom" has nothing to do with the Les Paul Custom. This is a Custom Shop Les Paul Standard reissue/replica. When the Custom Shop makes Les Paul Customs like the 54 or 57 reissues they are called Custom Shop Les Paul Customs. Fender, BC Rich, Jackson, Gretsch, etc... also have Custom Shops and just like the Gibson Custom Shop the word "custom" has nothing to do with Les Paul Customs.
So I actually bought this exact guitar from PMT last week. She plays like a dream!
Drat, I missed it! Too late. Sold. Foiled away. Watching these videos is like guitar p-rn. I'm never going to to able to afford that instrument, but it's so good to oogle it's curves.
Love a plain top Les Paul.
That's one of the best looking guitars I've seen for some time. Just gotta sell a kidney or 2 to afford it.
You could buy an actual 1958 for one kidney
About 4999.99
Not a bad deal.... not like you’ll need the other kidney... 1 is good enough...

😂 That’s an accurate description.

I have one of these but mine was made in 2011 and is bourbon burst. Absolutely love it!
I feel like I just watched Dagan go to his happy place this whole video lol.

Bought the same guitar from yourselves back in September. Amazing guitar. Well it should be for the price lol.
That's beautiful. I wish there were more "plain" top options lower down the Gibson range.
Gibson Classic if you dont mind the push pull knobs. Love mine
Mine weighs around 10 lbs even with the 9 hole weight relief
I've got the cheap n Gibson Les Paul studio tribute with plain top looks identical to this one, sounds identical too !

I bet you also own a cool Supro Blues King 12. I remember seeing your comments on the Supro You Tube videos 😃

I sold a lot of my guitars to pick up the 58’ I didn’t have the cash for one, there is always a way lol.

@@auntjenifer7774 - good idea. thanks for the heads-up
I call that one the “get yer ya/yas out” amazing sound! I got my R8 in green lemon burst. I like the thicker neck personally.
What an awesome guitar, I’m in love 😍 😍😍😍😍
Perfect Les Paul.
Great song rock playing guitar 🎸.
Great Review.
Actually the sunburst les paul didn't start until mid 58 . Les paul standards from the First half of 1958 were gold tops
Nice shuffle riff
Is that really an Iced Tea 😊?
It looks like a washed Cherry burst doesn’t it 😊?
Gorgeous!
Yes thought so too
custombuckers?
I heared some Civil War😉
Is there a difference between an R8 and a standard 1958 reissue?
No.
R means reissue

On Custom Shop Gibson’s, the switch tip comes in the case. 👍
@@PMTVUK - I was just messing about. I enjoyed that vid a lot :) Happy Christmas!
No plastic switch tip on these new ones's now?
It comes separately in the case 👍
Where is the switch tip?
Still in the case 👍 most Gibson Custom Shop guitars come with the switch tip detached.
@@PMTVUK knew that, just had to ask LoL

How many of my wife's organs will it cost me?
