Lukas Nelson | '56 Les Paul™ Junior
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 окт 2024
- Lukas Nelson and Gibson luthiers worked closely to develop his Lukas Nelson ’56 Les Paul Junior. Based off his beloved 1956 Les Paul Junior, which has been his main guitar for several years, the Lukas Nelson ’56 Les Paul Junior, in Satin Vintage Sunburst, is rooted in tradition with some modern enhancements: As with his original Les Paul Junior, the single-cutaway slab mahogany body and neck are crafted of genuine mahogany for its resonant tonal characteristics and moderate weight.
Lukas Nelson knows all about legacies, indeed he’s been hard at work carving his own for most of his young, but extremely eventful life. This customized Gibson Les Paul Junior is inspired by Lukas Nelson’s own 1956 Junior. The fat 50s-style neck profile feels smooth and comfortable while providing rigidity and sustain. It features a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays and medium jumbo frets for a vintage feel with modern playability.
Finished in a deluxe Satin Vintage Sunburst, this shade was developed to capture the same vintage patina of his original '56 Les Paul Junior. The single, dogear P-90 pickup features Alnico 3 magnets and is voiced to replicate the tonal response that Lukas requires.
The single volume and tone controls have gold speed knobs (as used in 1956) and are hand-wired featuring an Orange Drop® capacitor and original spec 500 k vintage audio taper pots. The aged nickel-plated hardware includes Vintage Deluxe strip style tuners with white buttons like the originals but featuring a higher gear ratio for improved performance. The 50s-style wraparound bridge provides the same look and solid resonance as the original, but it is made with a stealthy compensation contour to improve intonation accuracy.

juniors are all you ever need
it's a simple straightforward no filter connection to the music
They are good guitars but i will always stay with my Les Paul Studio
Man his pops has to be so proud
Got the privilege of seeing him and POTR play with Neil last year in Indy and then his dad play the following night. These guys rock, man.
He is a kind persom. I met him a few times
The version of Cortez the Killer POTR and Neil did at Farm Aid is absolutely monstrous.
I’m loving these videos from Gibson but I gotta say there’s a serious lack of guitar playing except for the subtle background music. If you’re gonna show us someone who deserves his own signature guitar let’s hear him play the damn thing.
randal kramer absolutely
If you know who Lucas Nelson is you know he can play.
Well I don’t know who he is and I clicked on the video hoping to discover a new talent. No such luck. My comment was directed at Gibson anyway not the artist.
randal kramer subscribe to his page.. He’s not new..so you’ll find a plethora of “ examples” .. for your soon to be happy ears.. 😊🎙🎸
Lisa Sez he’s a good player but this video is on Gibson’s channel and is an advertisement for their guitar. Why should I go out and buy a Lukas Nelson Les Paul? I have no idea.
If Gibson wants to sell guitars they should feature players playing.
I was not commenting on Lukas Nelson.
A while back I bought a new Classic for my dad. When I received it, a knob was broken. Good ol Gibson themselves came through for me in the end and sent me a replacement one once they were able to with the pandemic. I don't have much to offer. Not the smartest out of the bunch, really sort of the black sheep of the family. But the one thing I can do, is music. It's because of my dad. We always aspired to own Gibsons someday. I'm glad I was able to give back to him the gift of music, just as he once gave to me. I own a 2019 Standard, 2020 Slash Anaconda signature and now my dad owns a 2020 Classic. Only a Gibson is good enough.
/Anaconda is that that black to Olive Anaconda burst with a flamer quilted top? If so keep it that's going to be collectible just to guess
@@danpeabody5687 yup that's the one I have. My absolute favorite guitar in my collection!
You know, would it be so cool if he play some riffs and licks.
Y'all realize that's him playing in the background right?
If he plays we might hear that the guitar sounds VERY LITTLE like a real vintage junior. And his hipster hat might fall off. At some point close like that simply looking genuine in more like a costume than anything that you can wear in real life unless you were putting on a persona
dan peabody alright buddy. You have no right to say that about that man. He is a tride and true musician and a better player than you’d believe. And it’s him playing in the background. It sounds like it should
@@TheVirginianRambler glad to hear it. The hat is a silly prop. Having played a vintage jr. And tried a modern reissue ( admittedly not his signature model) but in my experience while the reissue was fine. There was no comparison. Kind of like comparing my 2016 custom shop R9 with a good original 59 les paul. Not even in the same ballpark. He's a Nelson he should be able to play guitar if he has interest in it. It's the family business right?
@@TheVirginianRambler you should save the rock douche outfit for a music video
i watched it several times. I WANT GIBSON LP JUNIOR. no more questions.....
Beautiful guitar, and great sound. I think the whole video is about the story of the player and why they are connected to this particular model. Words were deep and from the heart. Thank you for sharing Gibson!!!
Couple things here. Lukas is one of the most humble, sweetest guys in music, period. Super talented and versatile. The bridge is compensated so it will intonate. And do you reeeeaaaallly need to hear it? It's a LP Junior with a P90. You've heard it a million times. The speed knobs are period correct, as are the tuners. The guitar isn't worth 1599 and you once made a guitar out of a frisbee and a PU out of a plastic guitar from Wallmart and it sounded better? No you didn't, and no it doesn't. And lastly, nobody is making you buy anything. Don't like it, move along. This ain't no government mandate.
I own one, it’s great!
Saw him and Micah play with Willie when they were teenagers. He's the real deal!
It was a free concert in Plains Georgia, around 2003 or 2004. President Carter was there. The concert was nearly three hours and was recorded for CMT.
What a wonderful dream reality he has, and he seems to be doin it proud
I love that guitar!!!!!!!!
Love this! Love Lukas! May have to have this guitar! ❤️🎶
Came here thinking who is this weird dressed man. Left with a great respect 🤘
Nice. I owned a 57 Les Paul Junior a while back, but had to sell it for cash for medical reasons(my cats needed a vet). Now I may want to get one of Lukas Junior's model.
How’s your cat?
@@codymchenryguitar5192 Lol, passed long time ago.
poynt100 Aw. Sorry man. You should definitely get this jr
My cat sits in front of my practice amp when I play. I know how you feel brother.
My cat sits on my leg when I play on the couch
spectacular guitar !!
Les Paul Jr. single cut is all the guitar i ever need. Wait…. I need two of ‘em. One tuned a 1/2 step lower than standard and one in open G. Straight no chaser into a cranked tweed champ is the sound of music and rock and roll.
Very Cool guitar. Fantastic musician and songwriter. His dads pretty good too.
Screw Gibson, but I won't let my feelings about them change the way I feel about Lukas Nelson. He is a great musician and songwriter. And I love the way he plays that guitar. I wish I had one, but I can't and wouldn't spend that much money, so I will have to pass. I can't play like him anyway. I am proud of you Lukas. I hope you get to make a good living doing what you love. And give your Daddy a hug for me.I wish you much success, i don't think you need my help.
i think Gibson should start bringing in guys that play guitar
Such a down-to-earth guy Lukas is. A Nelson is a Nelson.
Thank you so nice
I have one. It’s great.
Great!
excellent
The Jr is defo on the to do list
Nice hat.
I wish you'd do another run of these.
Great interview and to see ya Lukas, LOL,,,
Lukas & POTR are a must-see band. Amazing talent and energy...check them out.
Ck it out. Nice guitar. I didn't know '56's came with speed knobs. And the worn paint job is interesting. Thank's Gibson!
The best
That church is so cool
I bet it holds tune and has great intonation.
Wow it has a really good tone man.
If we could hear it.....
That’s what’s in the background
Soul 🎶🎶🎶🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That guitar looks and sounds amazing. I had to get rid of mine due to intonation problems. I am sure they got it right now!
There is a guitar player in nashville who helped make a new bridge , it’s a replacement bridge
Fixes the intonation, I can’t remember his name , session musician
MAKE MORE!!!!
If I get my stimulus check and these aren’t sold out...
yes.
Gibson will give anybody a signature model........
To be fair he's Willie Nelsons son... and he's been playing gigs since he was a teenager.
Or get the sweet $400 Epiphone version, $800 for a really nice amp, and still have $400 left in your wallet. But that Gibson is dreamy.
Let's hear it Lukas
My kinda guy. Good to find you, brother.
Tophat, keep it real
Gibson. Please include audio clips of the artists playing. It’ll help sell guitars. Promise.
That's just like Phil X but way melow...lol
Single p90 and a Magnatone.
Lucas didn't even play but I already know it sounds killer.
♥️♥️♥️
A guitar advertisement with zero guitar playing? What next?... color graphics for the blind?
SOLD ! 😎🎸👍
❤️🥰❤️
Designed to be a "Cheap Student guitar" but made for a "Rich Hipster" price .
I guess they measure privilege with inches on a hat nowadays... one day I’ll have tall hat too.
I don't know if I'd be advertising the fact that the best guitar I ever built was the first one and basically it all been downhill from there
Is the wrap around bridge a new Gibson design or is it a MojoAxe bridge?
It’s a Tonepro
@@christhompson5553 Thanks, I dunno if I have seen a Tonepro wrap around out in the wild.
$1,599.00 ? These guitars are nice but that is a greedy mark up IMO . This guitar cost about $200 to $300 to make . The hardest part is setting the neck .
I'm not sure why one would get this over a standard junior...
vintage sunburst vs two toned sunburst
@@chrisnichols9187 this custom shop jr. It's only $1500.
Because its it's a custom shop guitar for the price of a factory jr. Brand new.
They sell for $2,600+ now if you can find one.
@@AuntAlnico4where on earth did you get the idea that this is a custom shop?
No where in there says “review of the guitar”
Make explorer 84 reissue please.
I have one.what is it worth
Where's the music?
There’s only one John Phillips dude
Play the damn thing.
Well someone's a Slash fan....
Isn’t it already a “Les Paul”? No offense to Lukas but it’s just a ‘56 reissue. I’m sure it’ll be a lot more $ though...
A $100 more than the regular Jr, and comes with a satin finish. Don’t know how that math works.
Hmm wonder what it sounds like...
Uy si uy sii
Far out - I’ve heard to all now. Sure - he’s a good player and seems like a nice guy but, talking like he’s done something with a LP Jnr that’s never been done before? A wraparound that intonates? ✅ Satin finish? ✅ Button tuners? ✅. Rosewood board/Mahogany body in Tobacco? ✅. It’s literally all been done before. The most uninspiring signature guitar ever. Gibson’s having a lend here.
Who is this?
He is Willie Nelson’s son,he plays with his band “the promise of the real”
So this video is about a guitar we never get to hear?😒
hey i got a 57 junior ill sell u lukas, very resonable price
first two minutes talking about his dad okay I get it his dad is famous. It's not until about minute three that he starts going into the details of the guitar itself. Then to have nothing played seems like I just wasted almost 5 minutes. I don't know if he's necessarily qualified after I searched a couple of his videos to have his own guitar outside of his family name I mean no disrespect but I think the only thing I took away from this is the bridge possibly being better than it was on the original unless they are utilizing the thing that Tom bukovac help create? There's a lot of interesting things that can be done with this guitar but this did not show really very much.
He needs to stop smoking them leafs lol
Yo that's a big fucking hat lmao
The only thing I want to know is how it sounds and if it is good to play, a guy talking the whole video through say me nothing and wont make me want to buy this guitar. Sorry Gibson
It's a LP junior. Never heard one? Haha
That hat is drastically oversized for him. Well, unless he's going for the 'Cat In The Hat' vibe.
I've only learned to play a couple of things on this here guitar:
Thing 1 and Thing 2.
Bubblez Beano That’s the way he likes it and even more importantly it has sentimental value..😊
@@lisasez Hey, I've no problem with that. Good luck to him. :) The hat just looms large over the interview, is all... ;)
no play ?!?!?!?!
I keep thinking he’s Rickie Nelson’s son.🤦♂️
hahahah Nothing different. Same ol' same 'ol. NEXT!
Please Gibson surely the whole point of these is to showcase the guitar so let's hear it I don't want to listen to the chat....well maybe just a little.
Not much playing ....
What do you mean?
No offense but Nelson has a long way to go to meet the expectations of his father. Too soon for a Gibson signature guitar imo.
it's a signature guitar so won't even get a look at it from me, just not remotely interested in signature gear
Some of the appointments and special attention to a signature model could easily be something that makes it better than its standard issue of what ever model it may be.
But, having said that, I don't care for them either. I look at the standard issue model and If I don't care for it, I move on to something else.
The signature models, I believe, are generally speaking, an overpriced version of model (x).
All while model (x) is likely overpriced to begin with.
@@stricknine8623 exactly the artist used a standard model before it became a sig model.....some people want to live vicariously though and pretend to be somone they are not rather than being themselves.
Something doesn't seem right here...his words sound scripted.
of course they wrote this out beforehand lol how is that even a question
@@stefannita3439 It wasn't a question, it was how it cam across to me.
Love you Lukas but your lending your name to a corporate bully.
The satin finish is awful.
It’s gets shiny over time
To much talking, not enough playing !!!
Give it to Agnesi he’d play the shit out of it !!!
*That hat is infuriating*
Does he know how to play the guitar. Way too much bullshit here. Should have had Leslie West, this kid needs a bath!!!
He doesn't even play the damn thing
Seriously,,,, yawn
Silly hat, your a grown man. Sort it out. The original guitar is nice, mainly because of its value, that reissue is god awful.
Music is a performance art. The outfit is a part of the show.
Arguably the worst bridge design you can think of.
I can't think of any worse ones. even the original tele/esquire/nocaster bridges at least had some adjustability. the gibson wraparound bridge is mindnumbingly dumb and it's absurd that it's selling any copies at all in 2020.
This one comes with a custom bridge that is compensated.
@@EricCraigMusic for one specific string set maybe.
@@ayeapprove No idea what that even means. The saddle is compensated and can be adjusted. It works just fine.
@@EricCraigMusic Not individually. You can move the tailpiece itself on 2 pivot points, but it will affect the intonation on more than 1 string. Even PRS changed their approach to wraparounds, it's just crazy to assume people will only use Standardtuning and a specific string set.
This joker is just another wannabe
