Gibson Les Paul reissue

[Nick80R]

even reissues in the 70's were terrible

[777jordan]

Great demo, but needs more picture in picture and still frames.

[SOAD64a]

please where have you found the tab for somewhere beyond the sea ?

[johnhguitar]

I only know of my own. Sorry.

[invictorium]

just like to say thank u for all of your reviews, theyre really addictive

[GUlTARlST]

single coils? p90s

[RelaxNplay64]

@GUlTARlST p90= single coil wrapped many many times 

[stratocasterfranck]

awesome chord progression after 00: 41

[MrTentaclerape]

I'm not a fan of the gold tops. They look kind of cheesy.

[youmschafft]

Your reviews are top-notch. Thanks

[LesterPaul01]

Is it heavy??

[GuitarKylePlays]

Mr. H, what would happen if I took my 2010 Gibson Les Paul and arranged the bridge system in a way that implemented that wrap-around? All new age Les Pauls that I've seen have the stop bar tail piece, and I believe it's the same thing as that wrap-around bridge system?

[johnhguitar]

Please god don't try that! Either buy one or the other already made that way. It's a can of worms you'll open and you might permanently wreck the guitar!

[GuitarKylePlays]

@johnhguitar I mean, really? I wasn't planning on drilling into it or anything. But I guess there might be an issue with the tension on the neck..?

[johnhguitar]

Maybe, but you have the truss rod for that.

[GuitarKylePlays]

@johnhguitar You're right, but I'm just thinking about how different necks are made though. I guess it wouldn't matter?

[buttercow12]

The riff from 0:00 to 0:40 is the same right? What tuning are you in, and is the last bit of the riff before 0:40 a song? Sounds familiar.. Its pretty freakin sweet!

[johnhguitar]

I think I go from something like 'Little Wing' to 'Somewhere Beyond the Sea' and back again?

[RelaxNplay64]

nice playing and cool guitar P-90s rock

[PopExpo]

if i were to get a les paul it would be something like this.

[johnhguitar]

Tele? SG? LP? Strat? The age old problem we all have. They're all different and do different things but no one can be helped making a choice in the end. However, if you decide to go with one, make it a really nice guitar you spend a bit of money on and get cheap copies of the other ones you don't have and can't afford. That way you cover the bases and are satisfied you have at least one quality guitar that works 100%!

[1Doz]

Never used to care about a goldtop and P-90s but somehow they're cool to me now. Very nice guitar. Wish I had one like it.

[willy346]

Hey that sounds so good specially when u played some blues. I have an epiphone les paul u think i could get a sound something like that? Were u using any pedals? Can u tell me ur basic amp settings?

[johnhguitar]

For blues I like a little overdrive and my tone controls at, 4-Bass, 4-Midrange 6-Treble. This is when I use a Fender amp. However, these settings change from amp to amp.

[mitchellsonguitars]

@willy346 i would suggest getting your pickups changed to a seymore dunkan or a dimazio set up if you wish to have yours sound like a gibson becuase epiphone pickups sound like shit

[44eelz]

i heard the new les paul standards have a tear drop shaped neck, how do you like that compared to the 60s and 50s ones?

[777jordan]

gotta love the pip!

[PopExpo]

only les paul i ever liked/ got along with had P-90s

[uva2323]

plz change the roland cube sucks get a valve amp pleasse

[jigenbakado]

@uva2323 You wouldn't be able to tell unless it's live

[uva2323]

@jigenbakado no, i am sorry to know that your ears dont know what tone is but i do know

[jigenbakado]

@uva2323 I've played tube amps. They sound 10x better than any roland. I'm just saying when coming out of a computer the sounds aren't too different...

[johnhguitar]

"Somewhere Beyond the Sea"

[lezpol4168]

the pickup rings are weird- i guess they used the same bodies as the les paul deluxes of the period which were routed for mini humbuckers with pickup rings- cool though

[JKryanX]

p90's fit in the same routs as mini humbuckers. those goof rings were just something they did back then. you can take them off if you dont like them.

is this a pancake body or is it one piece?

[alvaritooooooooo]

The Roland Cube sounds nice but looks ugly

[FingerBoard420]

dude i want a les paul soooooo bad

[djsomar1]

Thats that the first Les Paul, gold top with P 90 !

[alvaritooooooooo]

No, the first one was the 52, who's got the trapeze tailpiece. It's a gold top too.

[guitarswhiskey]

That's some pretty damn nice playing John. You sound good playing a LP. Should gig with one of these now and then let the 335 and Strat rest once in a while.

[LedZeplican]

wow....

[lorymylove]

Les paul born with p90 in 1952...

[ZeBigStrat]

didn't know a gibson could sound that good. but still not as good as a strat ;)

[tannerleudy36]

i always knew a gibson could sound great ,, but i do think a strat is better ,, ps what do you like more maple necks or rosewood necks? personal survey..lol

[ZeBigStrat]

my strat has a rosewood neck because I thought it looked better with the sienna sunburst finish. i also like more the rosewood neck because it doesn't have a thick layer of shiny finish on it. it sticks a bit on my fingers when i'm doing a bend.

[pokrmastr29]

Mahogany neck with Rosewood fretboard on my LP. Sounds great

[ChickusMagnetus]

The wood is pre-dried before the guitar's construction. The light weight of this modle is due to its body being made of mostly mahogany and not maple. Maple is a much heavier and denser wood.

[johnhguitar]

I did say maple cap didn't I? The top is maple and the body is mahogany...........

[GuitarRocks23455]

Damn it sounds awesome!!

[Deathscythehell85]

Gibsons are really nice but way over price.

[Steffaniexoxo]

@Deathscythehell85 with these gibsons u deffinatly get what u pay for trust me these guitars are ment to out last their owners

[TheExplodingPumpkin]

@Deathscythehell85 Yep thats why we have eppiphone i saw i gibson that cost 5000@ the epiphone model cost 1500$

[601271]

i recognized the frank sinatra!

[fullofbl1ss]

i think you meant bobby darin :)

[maxellison55]

Guitar history in the flesh (or wood). A real treasure! Wish I had a semi trailer load of them.

[azdv]

GAS! Can never have too many guitars mwahaha!

[grozengyz]

Gibi rules!

[TheGamingGuitarist]

I didn't know that Gibson made reissues back in the 70's! I love the sound of P-90's.

[ibanezmon]

That is beautiful playing and a beautiful guitar.

[VBSouthpaw]

Love that Jazz tone from LP's.

[danophile07]

awesome stuff p90's are pretty cool :)

[al0102030405]

Beautiful guitar, nice playing John.....as always.
