@MrBeatlesfreak72 I think with the right amp (vox) it can work for beatles, but maybe a gretsch or a rickenbacker are a closer fit for beatles, Thanks!
@tonemaster1 It will do just fine for any music, especially Beatles. Let's not forget that George Harrison used a Les Paul (given to him by Eric Clapton) during some of the Beatles sessions. Great guitar btw
hey there nice demo! does it stays in tune or do you have issues with the bigsby? I'm interested in buying one but that's the only thing holding me back!
@MotoNitroCrazy I'm just messing around with chords in the first part, then I do sort of the intro to Knocking on heaven's door (but play it slightly different.. just messing around)...
@tonemaster1 thx for repying. what are your thought about that Bridge? good intonation? good sustain? im really interested on buying the guitar! but its hard to try it first... but i know how the LP traditional feels.
@topicrass The bridge intonates. The sustain on these guitars is very good (Much better than on gretsch). I own 3 gretsches, and they don't sustain. The LP's bigsby is different and has way more tension on the strings. I also have a LP Custom (1975) that "feels" more solid. The LP bigsby can sound a little "springy" when hitting the strings hard, but the sustain is all there. When I first hit the strings hard u hear that "springy bounce"! I'll demo the LP custom later. Hope this helps
@tonemaster1 Huh, reading this question makes me want to ask you something if you don't mind:
Have you heard of people ( Billy Gibbons for example ) wrapping the strings around the tailpiece on Les Pauls? Apparently it improves sustain as well as lessen string tension, but from what you've said, it seems like you can't have both or am I wrong?
@TheEternalLeader I've never tried that on the les paul, I'm just not sure how it would work on the gibsby model with the roller bridge. I would thing strings may pop-out of the roller saddles, and the way the bigsby works on the les paul, is they go under this metal bar before they go on the bridge, so I don't think its possible. Thx for your questions though
