  • If you don't want to own an American-made Les Paul. . . well dang, you're just not an American. Of course, if you are an American, you're probably also hard up on cash. Never fear: the Gibson USA Les Paul Studio Faded is every bit a legitimate Les Paul, from its Burstbucker Pro pickups to its comfy, chunky neck to its carved-maple top.
    Owen tests the LP Studio Faded out in the Gearwire studio with a Vox AC15C1 at various levels of gain saturation, then feeds these high-output pickups through a T.Rex Totenschläger modern-gain stompbox. There's nary a rock-step the Les Paul Studio Faded misses.

    I like how you keep the guitar at the right hight, instead of having it swung way down low.

    I have a similar amp/axe combo. Same guitar, but with an AC30C2 and a Blues Jr. Great guitar for the price and much lighter than the more costly Les Pauls. Great demo!

    Thanks for another great demo. I just picked up one of these in faded cherry at my local guitar center on clearance for $599. They actually had a black one for $560. Overall, I am very happy with the guitar; however, there are a few things to point out: the body is not a solid hunk of mahogany. Mine is 2 pieces glued together, just like the Chinese copies you see. The plastic is also super cheap. No grain at all to the top. But its a real LP & plays like it, so I am not complaining.

    @guayabian Bob Marley played a Les Paul Special. It has two single coil P90 pickups, and is a flat top with no maple cap. They have a similar outline, but they're very different guitars.

  • @TheWhitebread47
    @TheWhitebread47 13 лет назад

    @classicrockonly I have one of these, and I can see what you mean about it sounding a bit thin. However, I guess it comes down to what style you play. I play Indie style that utilizes vintagey tones, so it's not a real hardcore power riff style. It is great for that. The Burstbuckers have something to do with it, too. They're lower output than say the 498/490 combo I have in my Gibson LP Special Faded, which is a scorching rocker. Hell of a deal for the money, though.

  • @antihax91
    @antihax91 12 лет назад

    @guayabian The originals are very rare today, but there are a few very similar guitars that you can buy brand new. You might want to look into the "Gibson Les Paul Jr. Special Exclusive", and the "Eastwood p90 Special"

  • @astrophysics123
    @astrophysics123 13 лет назад

    Do you recommend me buy this guitar or a Gibson SG Standard?

  • @astrophysics123
    @astrophysics123 13 лет назад

    hey, can this guitar sound like Angus Young (AC/DC), or Alex Lifeson (Rush)? I'm looking for that tone...

  • @guayabian
    @guayabian 12 лет назад

    @antihax91 and it is impossible to buy it ?

  • @classicrockonly
    @classicrockonly 13 лет назад

    It's a very comfortable guitar, 1 of the most comfortable I have played, but I just can't stand the chambered on a Les Paul because it just sounds too thin most times. Heck, my SG sounds heavier than it, same pickups too! Good guitar, but you need to search for a good one to get a meaty tone like an unchambered one. I give this guitar 8 of 10 just for the thinness of tone, unless you like that then go for it! It's a steal!

    • @WriterMikeMonson
      @WriterMikeMonson 7 лет назад +2

      Yes, I've seen it, glad I got mine when I did. I imagine it's still a great guitar but I like the way the 2016 looks much better. And aren't the pickups different too, not just the covers?

    • @rubykaufman5361
      @rubykaufman5361 7 лет назад

      Yes, I believe so, 2016 has burst buckers they say are slightly overwound and 2017 has 490r and 490t humbuckers. I like the 2016 better myself.

    • @WriterMikeMonson
      @WriterMikeMonson 7 лет назад +1

      I have a 2016 its got burstbucker pros. Though I'm pretty sure the 490r and 490t are well-loved by guitar players

    I got a '16 BROWN and next to a Les Paul STANDARD T, there was no difference, except the $1,700+Tax I kept off my Credit-Card. THESE GUITARS ROCK, the 2017's are a dissapointment....seems the '17 SG STANDARD's are the best value in 2017.

      Alt rock, Indie Rock and Country bands all love the natural look. The cherry reds and firebursts are more used by glam rock bands. I personally love all the faded colours except black, it looks cheap to me. The faded Brown is awesome imo, but if you dont like it i doubt youll have trouble selling it on craigslist and buying another.
