Great Comparison! I have found that guitars equipped with the more basic Stop Bar Tailpiece are usually more resonate, Bigger sounding, & more alive overall when compared to the ABR-1 bridge. I always assumed it's because it is a more direct connection from the strings to the wood!
I have a 99 Gibson CS 54 Goldtop , it’s starting to relic very nicely now. But the sound is incredible. Cheers and thanks for sharing your experience with us 😎🎸
Good Dr., do you happen to know what had been done to the '56 which resulted in the diagonal holes in the bridge section? Almost like it had a wrap around.
@@jltrem Bigsby was an additional customization. It is held on by two small screws on the top and four around the bottom button. It looks cool and sounds interesting in terms of its effect on the frequency characteristics of the resonance. But unfortunately Bigsby is too heavy and doesn’t hold the formation very well.
In general I prefer Wrap around bridge from '54, I think it has better sound transfer to the body, it is just my idea of it, I never played one, but maybe there is something to it..
I disagree. I’m not hearing anything here that I can’t get with Tonocracy/NAM or ToneX. The only difference is that I don’t/don’t have to do it at huge volumes.
Сначала подумал, что эпичный момент видео - это вытирание потной руки об жопу в начале 10-й минуты... потом услышал ФАК на 11-й минуте и перерешил... авобще - лицо Алексея говорит обо всем. For those about to rock - we salute you!

Yes, I also like the stop bar better. brighter attack and more harmonics. It's really better than a telecaster.
Great comparison and as soon as you plugged in to that combo that was THE sound! Thank you for all your video's and inspiration you provide!
Thank you
That Pipper combo is very impressive not to mention those Les Pauls

Had a Bigsby at one time .
It is a snake bite from Bigsby
@@8BombCustom Ah, I've never had a Bigsby. I thought they required larger holes.

Wow thank you so much, that was absolutely beautiful!
Thank you
That 54 really stood out . Very strong and detailed .That would be my pick .
I'm always happy when you post a video! The '54 wins this battle in my opinion. The neck pickup has amazing clarity and presence.
Love the 54. So resonant.
Love that 54

Wow !! The low mid bark is to die for ! No plugin in the world will give you this !

One could See the 1954 excitement
Ca envoi fort la 54
Just so I understand, Does "I have no words" mean you like the 54 the best????? Thanks!
I like Pipper amplifier. And 54 too.
Very noticeable difference in tone, the ‘54 all day long for me.
Р90 - рулят!!
