Can I just say how grateful I am for your kind words! I agree that Gibson's new lineup is actually doing pretty well for itself, and I'm quite tempted to check out a P-90 loaded SG too, if one turns up in my area :)
OMG, Your playing skills are gorgeous!. If I close my eyes I can actually hear santana's phrasing. Great looking Gibson Les Paul Also. 2019 has no weigh reliefs, no bad quality control, 1 piece body and the good Mahogany neck and body. The only part where I like mapple in a les paul it's in its Flame top. Like I said, everything in this video is perfect. Btwz can you please share that awesome backing track?
I thank you very much - it's much appreciated! :) And I must say that I did lend a thought or two to Santana while recording this! I hope you find your perfect Les Paul - the 2019 Standard range is a pretty good bet, if you want something traditional made to modern standards in terms of quality control and consistency. It certainly is a step in the right direction compared to Gibson's previous decade, and I could feel the difference right out of the box. I have tried tracking down that backing track, and I simply could not do it - I don't even remember what I was searching for, when I stumbled upon it on youtube one day... but it really is a good one. But if you are looking for generally good quality backing tracks, then I recommend a channel called Benjamin Harrison: ruclips.net/user/BenHarrisonMusic He has made quality tracks for years, so he has a wide variety to choose from at this point with more coming every week. He's especially good at making his tracks harmonically interesting and groovy, although he also does jazz, blues and anything in between.
I was not too happy with the fretwork, so called school bus tops and had sharpish edges, I had to do a bit of dressing to smooth them out, dont know if thats a fluke in my case but it was disappointing, as it was my first Les after **% years. Good action though and no fret buzz so it has been set up well. Still good after a year, but frets seem soft as they are worn more than I would expect, for just bedroom playing, but I do play just about every day so...Anyway the sustain is amazing which is what makes a Les Paul and makes my cheaper guitars pale in the shade. I love the smell of the Nitro Cellulose when I take it out the case. I'm so glad I got it, it's worth it, as it's made well as per it's reputation, just a bit of a nag about the frets, never mind.
Sorry to hear about the frets. Mine were good and are still doing juuuust fine! Although I don't play the guitar everyday - depends on the job :) Glad to hear that you're happy with the instrument overall! That's what matters in the end.
I got mine earlier this year...so was two years old but the shop went over everything so was perfect fit and finish I paid 22 for it cause I wanted a light one 8.4 lb's which is sorta unusual Most of the CS one's were 9 and up unless you paid over 5K so grabbed it up no regrets Pup's could be better but still very good
Thank you many bunches (that's just how my brain felt like phrasing that today!) They seem to be nice guitars across the board. I'd even go so far as to recommend buying them online on stores that allow selection between individual examples of weight and tops, since those are to taste anyhow, and everything else is pretty darn consistent - especially compared to earlier generations of Gibsons.
Of course, if a local dealer has one or two of them, trying before buying will always be the way to go, but at least buying these wholly online is a viable option... something I wouldn't have dared to do a mere couple of years before.
You are very much welcome, I hope yours shall be as good as mine - or even better :) Let me know what it's like, when it gets there; it's an exciting day, when that big box arrives!
Beautiful guitar and beautiful playing! 👍🏻 I have a Les Paul Classic that I love, I was between the Les Paul 60’s (due to the neck being less thick than the 50’s) and the Classic, ended up buying the Classic due to the different sounds/versatility that it gives you. But I am a fan of both 50’s & 60’s….one day I’ll buy one of the two 😇
Thank you so much! They are quite nice indeed, and you might be surprised by just how versatile the standard model is as well - a good sounding guitar can do sooo much more than any label suggests :)
Thanks more than a whole bunch! :) Yup, the general quality of Gibson Guitars seems to be going up. Their marketing department may be another story, but... let's just hope they learn from that mistake ;)
I’m trying to stray away from playing too much heavy rock like Zeppelin and AC/DC. I’ve always wanted to play like Santana and other blues guitarists. This is a perfect example. Great video and nice guitar
Thank you so much! It's true that there's a lot of great music out there beyond the hallowed halls of classic hard rock. I believe that any musician becomes better by embracing music in all its diversity :)
Thank you sir! Chambered? No - just two reasonably weighted and decently matched solid pieces of mahogany for the body. It is the US standard line from 2019, so it retailed for about half your average Custom Shop guitar at the time of purchase :)
I use a 1983 Boogie Mark IIC in this clip. A lovely amp that to my ear gives me something in between a well worn blackface Fender and a Vox-type midrange. The amp does hum a fair bit; it's not the quietest in the world. They are meant to be played in concert though, so judging what seems loud at home is generally unproductive. Taking that very amp to a gig this Friday, it felt as quiet as a church mouse. The best way of avoiding hum when not holding a guitar is generally to get in the habit of turning it down between songs (or when not playing). Some infrequent noise can be heard every once in a while from this particular amp, but it's pretty old. I'm maintaining it well despite its age, but any old amp will have some little quirks from a lifetime on the road. Most of my amps have a few years on them at this point :)
Well, he does creep into my pentatonic playing here and there, although the only commonality between his rig and this one is the old school Les Paul. That being said, I do love my setup, and I can't wait to gig it properly in the new year!
@@chadhudson2046 I certainly have seen my fare share of his sonic skullduggery over the years, and I must tell you have honoured I feel over that comparison! I shall try to live up to that every single time I pick up the guitar :)
I really want the 50s. But I am afraid it will sound muddy. I know some people like the "warmth" but I think it is mud. Does this 50s have a nice top end?
I think it does, but it always depends on the individual guitar. I'd say that this series leans toward the lower-wound PAF-style Gibsons of the 50's (as they darn well should given the marketing), and as such there's great potential for some twang in whatever model you get. Out of my humbucking guitars, this one is the least muddy - if that's anything to go by. The best advice will always be to find an example that speaks to you, because I'm pretty sure that there'll be one for you out there.
@@MadsBoldingMusic Really a LP needs a great amp or yes you can get mud Tele on steroids was the old saying about 50's LP PAF tone Electronics so important
Nice, I got a question. I bought this same exact model and mine came with a tonepros bridge, did yours? And if you don’t know you can tell by the orientation of the saddles. 2 forward 4 back is Gibson and 3 forward 3 back is tonepros. Thanks
Thanks :) It would seem that mine has 3/3 as well, but I must admit that I can't see Gibson never make such a design themselves. From my limited knowledge on the subject, Tonepro parts are popular after-market upgrades usually done to Gibson guitars anyway. If it really is a Tonepro-part it might just be Gibson having no manufacturing in place for that specific bridge and then outsourcing it to a trusted quality brand. Please, share your understanding with me, though - I would love to learn!
Mads Bolding from what I’ve seen, some of these come with the Gibson abr1 and other come with the tone pros. The reason I don’t really see it as an upgrade is because when you normally buy tonepros it comes with a locking system so that the bridge stays attached, which this one doesn’t. And even the locking set of tonepros is cheaper cost wise than the Gibson abr1. I just found it a bit annoying on a guitar in this price range. Thanks for the response though
@@sebastianrothman2871 You're welcome. Mine does say ABR-1, so I find it very likely that it's a slight spec chance to the 3/3, rather than a change of brand.
Just came yesterday open the case and was just blown away by the look of the construction of the guitar and the play ability is just perfect Gibson has deafly up their game I’m looking forward to many many years of happy playing with it.
@@50samsat It's nice to hear from so many people that QC has been given new life. Long it was the Achilles Heel of the beloved brand, so the fact that they've managed to reverse the trend of the last decade has me intrigued as to what direction they'll take next... as soon as they get over the whole "Play Authentic"-debacle of course!
Nope - not really. The build details differ slightly from the older Traditionals, usually with slightly lighter woods, orange drop capacitors and stuff like that. Both the new Standards and the old Traditionals are with old school knobs - no pushes or pulls going on here :)
Thanks a bunch - really appreciate it! My settings make the most sense, if you have an old Mesa Boogie Mark IIC (or similar) to hand, but here goes! Preamp Vol: 10 (Bright switch pulled) Treble: 10 (Shift switch pulled) Bass: 5 Middle: 7 Master: 0,5-ish (Boost switch pushed in (very loud amp for apartments, I tell ya!)) Lead circuit off Graphic EQ on amp to taste - but I often take a bit of 80 hz out and add a bit of 240 and 2k. General pointers though: Amp on/over the point of breakup, perhaps boosted slightly into the front. Don't be afraid of boosting the treble. Valve/tube Amps often sound good with the treble at about 8/10 or higher, especially in a mix and with humbuckers - at least for my sound. If it feels too piercing, try turning the amp down a slight bit - and feel the difference. It'll make the highs of your guitar glassy and the bass/gainy side of your guitar sound clear. Have a wonderful day! //Mads Bolding
Thanks man :) I generally just search for good tracks on the wild lands of youtube. Most of the time these days, I'd recommend a still active jam tracker named Benjamin Harrison. He does good stuff! This particular track? I don't remember where I found it to be honest - I just came upon it and decided upon it. I wish you: Happy jamming!
NGD for me as well today (UK Via Andertons) \m/ Just to add to the echo chamber really - These are beautiful! Gibson haters be damned, you honestly won't regret picking up one of these at all. Not sure my neighbors will agree but London now has that authentic (lol) sound blasting out of a Marshall DSL. Rock on.
Nice playing hombre! I am about to buy this second hand on next Saturday (I am so excited!!!) Can you please send the link of that beautiful backtrack. Have good time with your LP
It's been such a while that I can't find it anymore - for all I know it's either dead or buried. Sorry! I can recommend Elevated Guitar Tracks though. Happy jamming!
Not sure about that actually! It's just some backing track that I found at the time, and I felt inspired to use it. Obviously it has some Santana vibes though, so there's that at least!
Well you don’t know how to play guitar? It definitely gives you vibrato, you can move a guitar neck very easily, and it will change the sound for a moment, and it does look cool!
Well, my good man of most Frank Discussions, I envy you to a conspicuous degree... whether the envy or the price be conspicuous I will leave to your imagination ;)
If Gibson wants to go back to their roots they should lower the prices on their standard les paul’s and stop being so greedy. It was mainly about giving people a nice cool simple product that wasn’t supposed to drag you down with payments. That was Gibson’s main goal. Not to make the entire world work for something that isn’t the right asking price. I could see if they have debt issues and maybe it’s not my place to say anything. I just think they should go back to a time where everything wasn’t so much money just to say we used to be good and now we’re gonna keep this brand as it is and see how much money we can make because we don’t make guitars like we used to
You know... Gibson makes questionable decisions with some frequency, but I for one am very pleased with their 2019-lineup. Can one maker of guitars please everyone? Well... no. I don't think so. Certainly not all the time. I, however am happy with having purchased the 2019 Les Paul Standard. Adjusted for inflation, the price has actually not gone up by much of anything since the 50's, even though the industry has changed a whole lot since then. In the end, I ask myself, whether a guitar gives me good tones, a fun time and some inspiration now and then. This guitar does. I wish upon you the same in your guitar journey :)

Nice note choices and phrasing.

That sure was the intention - glad it came across :D
Jeez you're good! Helped make my mind up, thank you. What amp/settings you putting it through please?

Someday it'll be called a pre-pandemic Paul. Hold on to it!
That's a fun thought - and I'll definitely hold on, don't you worry!
sweet tardis
Sure was! Belonged to my ex though :)
If Gibson wants to go back to their roots they should lower the prices on their standard les paul’s and stop being so greedy. It was mainly about giving people a nice cool simple product that wasn’t supposed to drag you down with payments. That was Gibson’s main goal. Not to make the entire world work for something that isn’t the right asking price. I could see if they have debt issues and maybe it’s not my place to say anything. I just think they should go back to a time where everything wasn’t so much money just to say we used to be good and now we’re gonna keep this brand as it is and see how much money we can make because we don’t make guitars like we used to
You know... Gibson makes questionable decisions with some frequency, but I for one am very pleased with their 2019-lineup. Can one maker of guitars please everyone? Well... no. I don't think so. Certainly not all the time.
I, however am happy with having purchased the 2019 Les Paul Standard.
Adjusted for inflation, the price has actually not gone up by much of anything since the 50's, even though the industry has changed a whole lot since then.
In the end, I ask myself, whether a guitar gives me good tones, a fun time and some inspiration now and then. This guitar does.
I wish upon you the same in your guitar journey :)
just play
Will do!
Ladies introducing on guitar,put your hands together for Macaulay Culkin
Didn't quite stick this one lol
nice playing but for Gods sake,, get a real amp!
Thank you for your compliment, but good mr, are you implying that Mesa Boogie do not make real amps?
@@MadsBoldingMusic no, they make great amps but I think how you recorded didnt show that
@@mrsimpleesarcastik3494 That's probably true - and I continue to improve on my technique in that respect :)
@@MadsBoldingMusic your playing sounds great
@@mrsimpleesarcastik3494 And in that I take near eternal comfort - thank you :)
Great playing and beautiful guitar!
Thank you so much! :)
