Thanks for watching! In my view, older les Paul custom is a completely different axe to a les Paul R9. These Les Paul customs just want to rock out, they have a lot more bite and output due to the higher output pickups. However a more modern R9 is going to be more conservative and better for blues and cleaner styles. Also on a modern guitar you’re going to get a better setup and less wear, the guitar is going to be in better shape. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a guitar to rock out with and shred go for the Les Paul custom, if you want a slightly cleaner Les Paul for blues or classic rock I’d go for the R9. The R9 also has a thicker neck whilst the Les Paul custom has a much thinner carve. Thanks for watching, subscribe for more content 🤟

Great job as always Ben. Loved how you did the clean tones too.
Question: were those Tim Shaw T top pickups?
@@denniscoverband4369 thank you! These are the Tim shaw PAF 👍
What's your honest opinion on this compared to say a nice light R9 etc made recently? I'd like to try some older Paul's.
