back in 2000 ,complete noob i met my luthier first time. he was playing a lp thru a vintage plexi, dropped it in my lap. i was shocked, light acoustically loud, responsive, open bright, fat, more like a tele on steroids. fat neck, notes jumped out blooming, feedbacking... played smells like teen spirit on it. he smirked. a real 58. compared it to my studio i was bringing in(today supposed to be a great vintage). nothing like it. shocking difference even for a beginner. worth 500k? nah.
Thanks for continuing to document these Bursts! Most of us will never get to touch one much less own one. At least we get to see them in these beautiful quality videos played by an amazing player. Cheers
I touched one once. It was almost exactly 30 years ago and I was about 16 and had no earthly idea what I was touching. I don't care for Les Pauls and was likely unimpressed with the story that went with it, but I did have it in my lap for a few minutes. Of course at the time they weren't fetching the astronomical sums they are now.
I have played two 59’s, a 58, and a 1960. The stuff Gibson Custom Shop is putting out will get you close enough to the vibe and feel without spending six figures. The 1958 I played was the best IMO in terms of feel and tone
@@Harvard_Fairway Not to mention that occasionally you'll come across a relatively inexpensive guitar that can get you there as well. With the newest wave of Custom Shop guitars Gibson finally figured out that half the battle was slightly unevenly wound pickups with no wax potting, the Custombuckers. That's the juice. That's why those old PAFs sound the way they do. With no wax to hold the windings in place they loosen over time making them slightly microphonic. That's the vibe, and why players spend lots of money on boutique pickups with those characteristics. Sure, the wood, glue, construction methods, wiring/pots and all that stuff matters, but it matters a hell of a lot less when the pickups are caked in wax and essentially can't breathe for lack of a better term.
They are just guitars. The myth has grown far beyond the matter. I'd love to do blind fold test with these guys. The more sample sets performed, the closer a modern recreation would be rated 50-50 against the real thing. It's not supposed to be about mysticism. This example has NO colour remaining in the top. Yes, the red fades, but even A "lemon burst" retains some colour. It's video and there is no way to truly see. But, to me this whispers "RE-FIN". You know the rule. RE-FIN = Half price. I have good reason to be wary of the most respectable traders of guitar flesh. But, the "burst" the hype is so great that I suspect this rule is not presently true. This will change. 25 years ago, top burst prices began to exceed $300,000. The past few years have confirmed for me that solid body vintage are slowly stabilising. When the next full-out banking crash occurs (soon, as we have poor leadership), vintage solid wood pieces are going to take their first major hit. This will NOT sober up the guitar drunks. After all, these are the tools of the musician, not the investor. These are but slabs of wood. There is physical beauty, but they are NOT canvases by Paul Klee or Claude Monet. I.e., reality check. Why is it that I have never seen a '59 burst demo that included some JAZZ passages? Why? Because these lads cannot play traditional Jazz. They haven't the training, inclination, taste or ability. They are not musicians. I am seeing salesmen who have partially learned 1 or 2 scales to impress wealthy marks. How long before every one of the 92 original D-45s are sitting in Japanese display cases, and NOT being played? Even Stradivarius fiddles get played. These fellows are not even luthiers. They are, at best, guitar techs, with minor ability on 1 or 2 or keys of blues. The last one I watched, I tried to follow by playing rhythm, but he was not maintaining an 8, 12, 16 or 32 bar form. When I play to test a guitar, I seldom play or finish a song. however, if I am playing a progression, I ALWAYS follow the form. I am a musician. I have natural inclination, training and ample experience. I can NOT casually play blues and break form. I'd have to concentrate to break form, and this would require a significant effort while I played! It would be like causally playing bad notes for a laugh. This requires much planing and effort. These folks are guitar tech / salesmen, not musicians. They know the scales, but not to where they lead. I.e., they know the price and the myth, but not the reality. Myth does not equal value. Myth, alas, fits into a myriad of self deception schemes. Caveat Emptor. Holy grails tend to result in disastrous trades. Your reason is not sober. Any of these original pieces will not survive a blind-fold test. There are modern copies that can make the best of these salesmen FAIL a blind fold test. The more sample sets accumulated, the faster the ratio WILL approach 50/50. Beware of myths. Myths cause sober people to act like fools.
Nice to see some good amps and such a raw recording. So many people selling these guitars try to make them sound super warm and even muddy, to make a sale.
@@pperejma Easy. You go listen to say Eric Clapton on the Mono Beano album and his guitar sounds warm, right? Well it wasn't, and none of them are. You're listening to recording studio engineers killing off any harsh treble and messing with the EQ to get a pleasing sound. You're not hearing reality, you're hearing engineering art. So, dealers want you to spend more than half a million dollars on an old Les Paul and they are afraid to let you hear how incredibly bright PAF's ARE. ESPECIALLY, if the PAF's in are the typical 7.5K range that the official winding count of 10,000 total winds will give you. In bridge position a 7.5K PAF will break glass and clean your ears out :-) So what they do it drag out an old muddy Tweed Deluxe that has zero headroom and no treble. OR, they will use a pedal, so all you hear is the pedal, not the guitar. Also beware when you see them miking the amp, which means its going into a DAW where you can clip any uncomfortable frequencies OUT of the audio, so again, you're not really hearing the guitar. When it comes to huge money, watch your back, I've seen some really horrific demos of vintage LP's using every trick in the book.
@@SDPickups this is fascinating. I have a 65 es 335 with pat numbers that are very bright, but I love that tone. That to me is the classic sound of the 60s.
If Mike Hickey was involved in this I think I know who bought it. His initials are JB. Another 'burst, Joe? Ain't ya got enough? Well, at least we know it will be used on stage soon. JB always takes them out on the road with him.
Beautiful guitar and it sounds fantastic. That also shows how close the modern Custom Buckers pickups are to the originals in terms of brightness, openness and dynamics. My R8 sounds almost identical. Personal taste here : I would have rolled the tone knob down just a bit through that amp.
Wonderful tones. Thanks for sharing this beauty to our delight. Who knows, some day I"ll earn the cash... I would rush right away to purchase it. I'm single now.😎🤞
Please notice the amount of checking present on this model. Barely none.. the light aged lab models are a lil overkill. That’s what a genuine well kept guitar looks like.
@mattrogers1946 obviously lol. A porta shitter cost around 90 grand in that state. I'd never live in that state. Rural town in the midwest is where I'm stuck
Shame these cannot be replicated exact in sound at the Custom shop price😢 Gibson did good enough looks wise on the Re-issues but they fall really short in tone when compared to a old one!
Sounds good to me but think the guy doesn’t do it justice with amp and tone choice. These are guitars of tonal quality using the knobs but too tinny. Uncle Larry or Bonamassa would have pulled it’s soul out
Thank you for showing us a rich guitarist’s guitar Going to another rich guitarist . Shouldn’t everyone get to play the guitar ? I thought Seattle was for the little guy?
Huh. It didn't sound $399,000 better than the one I checked out in the local store last month. That vibrolux though? Shit. It's clear why it's the amplifier of choice for these demos.
@@philbert006 its a piece of guitar history. hence the price. its like buying a playable piece of art. Do you think a 2 million dollar Stradivarius sounds 2 million dollars better than a professional level newer violin?
@@strawsparky33 I do not have any personal experience with violins, so I can't say for sure. But that's not exactly the same thing. I'm more than 500-year-old violin handmade by a guy that didn't share his processes or any of the materials that he used to make those violins and even the wood to make them as so scarce if it can even be found at all that it kind of puts those in a whole different ball game. They still make The Les Paul, with the same materials, and the very same processes that they did 70 years or so ago when they started. I'm not going to say you're not even in the same ballpark with that analogy, it's the same sport, just not the same league. Just not what I would call historic. An early '50s gold top? That's historic. A 1950 broadcaster? Definitely historic. After all that being said, it's whatever. Is somebody wants to pay that for guitar that does something for them for whatever reason, that's a okay. Is it unique? Well I'd argue that every guitar is unique no matter what. To be honest, the value of an item is whatever a: the seller is willing to part with it for and b: whatever the buyer is willing to pay for it. Whether either of those correlate with with the market is irrelevant. It might be what you would consider significant historically. But does it do something special? Does it do something that all the other guitars don't? Not really. I feel like a lot of it depends on the purpose as well. If you're buying it is a work and instrument, looking for a specific sound or style, you could certainly find a better guitar for whatever those purposes may be in every way possible that makes a whole lot more economic sense. If you're buying it just a museum piece or a physical thing to retain the value of your money or even if it's just something you want to hang up and enjoy on your wall, well if that's the one you like then that's the one for the job and it's worth whatever you're willing to pay. Do not really a matter of black and white, even if I did make it kind of sound that way. It's just like everything in life, a million shades of gray and it's all about trying to figure out which one is best for you.1
@strawsparky33 I agree. If these instruments didn't possess something newer guitars don't have, no one would pay these exorbitant prices. If a present day German or Italian luthier made violins as good as they did in the 17th century owning a Strad wouldn't be such a big deal.
Disclaimer. This is also perhaps my subjective opinion, but I think many who know would agree. You can’t really make comments on vintage guitars if you have not experienced them in your own hands . Thats also assuming your skills and ears are developed to get the most out of it. There is something hard to translate or describe. When it comes to old acoustic guitars, forget about it, you’d have to be an idiot not to sense it, but it’s true for electrics as well IMO. It is annoying that the price is driven so high by collectors. It is likely this guitar won’t end up in the hands ace player, but rather a collection. Perhaps preserved and loaned to good players. Perhaps simply hidden away.
