Im so fucking jealous.... most people dont know this... but if those two guitars belong to the guy on the right, the guy is already worth $1million. Holymotherfuckinshit.
why do you jerks have to ruin the damn video with the comments? long story short, he has 'em.....you don't....let him enjoy the damn thing!!! you don't like him don't watch!!!! GEEEEZE!!!
Didn't your mother teach you, if you don't have anything good to say......Say nothing at all. Great quote man, My bitch of a wife's mother didn't know that one.
@outtacastatv Agree with everyone else. this is real music and real talent. lets see you do anything better than this. these are the greatest guitars ever built and they are meant for real players. you dont deserve to even look at this video
the 59 sounds terrible (must be because its older and everybody knows IBANEZ RULEZ!!!) it sounds so bad that really you shouldnt be playing it,,,so,,,,,, you should just give it to me and Ill do my best to appreciate its qualities ,Im serious you should just throw it out and get rid of it and Im WILLING to take it for you,just trying to help,lol I hope everybody knows Im kidding the58 /59/60 LES PAUL is the perfect instrument, there is no equal,but ill still take it if you dont like it
hmmm interesting. I like the 59 over better than the 60 on the treble pickup, but the 60 better than the 59 when on the rhythm pickup. both bitchin' axes though.
I'm still trying to figure out, what's the difference in sound between the 1950's les pauls? its not that clear to me? say like between 54 or 57 or 59? esp 59 what makes it stand out above so many as a great guitar?
and compared to say a 59, how does a model today compare? how is the soudn different? I've seen ppl demonstrate 59 models on old amps and they sound amazing, and i can hear that old sound going.
finally, these guys are playing the whole song on pure sound no effects right?
@Campbell88guitar watch the vid that sould be linked on the ones that appear down the side of the page on this vid called "original 1959 gibson les paul and vintage dimarzio PAF36 pickup demo" this will give a good indication of the tonal differences between an original 59 an a new 59 reissue
the reason for so many haters is the title of the video ...these are not 59 or 60 year guitars they are r replicas and the title should state as such or expect negative replys
I also have an Epiphone plus top It`s very good but i still feel the need to have a gibson, trouble is i can`t find a good un, tried out a couple of studios but don`t like fat neck and build quality is not that good.
It`s hard to get the righ one but the tone of a LP is what i need....!
@kingofskateop lol are you kidding me? Epiphone better than these guitars...? Wow kid go make another shitty cover of smell like teen spirit or sweet child o' mine or actually get some knowledge in guitars and then come back,..
@kevenharbour 1st don't be rude, 2nd I never said Epi is better or not... 3rd I prefer playing Jazz and 4th I have enough wood, binding, finishing, wiring, fretting knowledge to make a guitar... Btw I don't play with luxe furnitures like Les Pauls, I play with a real MAN axe which is a tele style plank guitar... Btw I prefer upgrading an Epi, not buying a 400K LP...
I know me too 400k LP is too much and sorry I didnt wanted to be rude i posted the wrong comments because I copied the wrong comment i wanted to post... Anyway i dont play with a luxe furnitures (but I'm saving for one lol XD) but Telecaster are awesome i dont deny it and your music style because i listen to all music style except techno... BTW One of my dream guitar is the Fender Andy Summers Telecaster, man this guitar rocks with the humbucker pickup in the neck postion and the preamp lol XD
@kevenharbour You can build your custom Andy body cheap from Warmoth.com, you can buy genuine fender neck and PUs from ebay and only your luthier will add a booster to the body... Btw my dream guitar is a La Cabronita tele...
@kingofskateop I know Warmoth already I might buy a tele body and do the stuff you said but i might ask a friend because I hurt myself in anything even golf... my friend hit me accidentaly with his driver XD
@kingofskateop Lol I'm actually came back from the gym lol that's so crazy or creepy... Are you the guy watching me taking a shower :P? I'm just kidding... but are you really this guy? XD
the 59 but not by much, in defense of the dude, have any of you ever even held a real one, the closest I ve played was 55 blackbeauty with p90s then a 68 goldtop that my friend has with factory pafs(its not spsd to exisit) makes you nervous then giddy like a kid then jealous if not yours,plus the extra digits on the price makes you WANT TO BE VERY CAREFUL,plus vintage is not made for shred,Ive held $75K gretsch white penguin and played some $20k and up Dangelicos ,its always very exciting
I don't understand why this video has haters. Big deal he's not some shredding babbling Drop C pinch harmonic crap machine. The guy is having a good time playing and showing you 2 ass guitars. Get over yourselves. Enjoy music and be open minded. Didn't your mother teach you, if you don't have anything good to say......Say nothing at all.
I agree this guy is a bit sloppy, his phrasing is void of soul, and those typical blues box scales are enough for someone to run over and turn his amp off....but hey, this guys is in bliss. : )
i would agree with josha here, only bcause ive played many a git reissue there great but i recently purchased a 70 deluxe unfornutately for collectors its been modded to 59 specs sortof and my god the aged wood here. its night and day i mean i thought how much better can it be but bejesus such growl u dont know my freinds.
rockerdude, you couldnt be more wrong, the design, build quality, and wood were waay better in 59 making for a more solid guitar and as important are the effects of 50 years of aging. If you ever heard one in person you would be convinced
i dont know,i played a 2009 LP standard plus,and theres no possible way a 59 could sound much better,it was the best sounding guitar ive ever heard,bright,full,warm and fat,it was delicious.IMHO Id say the new Standard plus would be a better guitar,with all the improvements,more advanced pickups,locking tuners,straplocks,etc...maybe its just me,but try one out and youll see.
The Les Paul was perfected in the 59' model, but the 60' had seen more areas to be improved on so it does have some better sustain I guess but my choice would be te 59' if I couldn't have both (which I totaly would). R.I.P Les Paul.
Its pointless to "compare" these two guitars, one may have a hotter set of pickups, so naturally they are going to sound differen, plus no two guitars have identical woods, every guitar is different. Its just a treat to hear the real thing, even if through amps that aren't all that well suited to PAFs. Would have much preferred a cranked Super Reverb or 50 watt vintage Marshall, to hear real classic tones....
You can tell the difference between the two guitars when there are two different players and two different amps? Wow. You must have some great ears on you.
no. the rythm player is playing the 2006 chambered '57 reissued (gold top).
the lead guitarist on the right is playing the original 59 and 60 gibson burst les pauls.
u can see where the vid was edited back and forth between the 59 burst and 60 burst. around 0:46, 1:18, etc etc. even the guitar info at bottom of vid indicates which one he is playin. the differences in tone however has alot to do with what his vol. and tone control knobs are set on and his pickup switch above the strings.
sometimes he has one on the bridge pickup and the other on the kneck. that changes alot how the guitar sounds too. if he had both on the very same level on the vol and tone control knobs and switch on the same pickup then it be dificult to tell unless u have an ear for it.
The 59 has much more attack and volume than the 60 LP. The 60 seems smoother on the neck pup, but I like that edgy tone of the 59. I've watched a lot of vids on 59s, and its amazing what a difference a single year makes in the tone of these LPs
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Its really ashame that $1,000,000 worth of guitars are being wasted on such horrible hack players. But really...does either guitar really sound that good? Most of the vibe is bass ball cards, beenie babies, and furbies. As a 40 year player and pro luthier I know what you have.
do i detect a hint of jealousy mr? :-) dont worry - I'm sure when Peter Green or Jimmy Page want their strings changed they'll call you and maybe you can touch the real mcCoy... but then again - thats not really gonna happen is it - IDIOT!
well, I would give my nice cosy house for one of these... then I would rent a small house and sleep with the guitar at night... Then when I came from work I would watch it and masturbate. Better than porn!
I have to had this.. I just tried the 59 50th anniversary and this guitar is the best sounding and playing LP I ever played period.. I'm very happy with the R0 I bought recently and it really was sounding better than a couple of R9 I tried but if I only had tried the 50th anniversary before...
Out of 5 R9's LP I tried, I had to go with the R0. The sound of an R0 can be a little more twangy and a little more brighter. A good compromise for a the strat player a I was (since I can hardly put the R0 down). Off of these 2 originals, the 1960's a winner to me.. its just an opinion ; )
i like the feel of the 60's neck better its nice and thing and very easy to play but the 59' id say sounds better and is cooler but i mean fuck that i'm not paying $400,000 for that guitar i mean.. you could buy a super nice house with that money id rather have a replica instead of paying that much but damn id be to scared to play it its so expensive
Uh... look, the guitar is just as much an investment as the house. So it's not money wasted, is it. If you don't have 400K you can't buy it - if you do, maybe it's good investment.
Scared to play it? Huh? Would you be scared to live in the house?
Ah, but if the floor caves in at your house, you can have it fixed and the renovation would increase the value of the home. If you break the headstock on your $400,000 1959 Les Paul and have it fixed, the value would go down big time. As much as I would love to own a real '59 burst, I would only buy one if I hit the lottery for $100,000,000! Until then, I'm happy with my cheapo $5,000 '59 Reissue.
Aha! But if I owned a real '59 I'd sure as hell have it properly insured... lol
Anyway, I'm perfectly happy with my R0. And I'm lefty so I can forget finding a suitable Burst! There are only 4 known lefty Bursts, 1 of which is owned by Paul McCartney - and one by John McEnroe!
you are totally right..buy a gibson for 2000$ that looks very very close and install the same pickups...and voila you have a 400,000$ guitar and a house
itd have to have the long neck tenon too...to Really the best thing is to completely build a 59 from scratch and get schematics for it...they have ones made from areal 1959..very easy to find actually. Much less costly than spending 2-5 grand for a gibson. the common is itd take about 700 bucks to make your own 1959. if youre adventurous you could drop the cash on real pafs though

Its pointless to "compare" these two guitars, one may have a hotter set of pickups, so naturally they are going to sound differen, plus no two guitars have identical woods, every guitar is different. Its just a treat to hear the real thing, even if through amps that aren't all that well suited to PAFs. Would have much preferred a cranked Super Reverb or 50 watt vintage Marshall, to hear real classic tones....

You can tell the difference between the two guitars when there are two different players and two different amps? Wow. You must have some great ears on you.

no. the rythm player is playing the 2006 chambered '57 reissued (gold top).
the lead guitarist on the right is playing the original 59 and 60 gibson burst les pauls.
u can see where the vid was edited back and forth between the 59 burst and 60 burst. around 0:46, 1:18, etc etc. even the guitar info at bottom of vid indicates which one he is playin. the differences in tone however has alot to do with what his vol. and tone control knobs are set on and his pickup switch above the strings.

sometimes he has one on the bridge pickup and the other on the kneck. that changes alot how the guitar sounds too. if he had both on the very same level on the vol and tone control knobs and switch on the same pickup then it be dificult to tell unless u have an ear for it.

The 59 has much more attack and volume than the 60 LP. The 60 seems smoother on the neck pup, but I like that edgy tone of the 59. I've watched a lot of vids on 59s, and its amazing what a difference a single year makes in the tone of these LPs

Its really ashame that $1,000,000 worth of guitars are being wasted on such horrible hack players. But really...does either guitar really sound that good? Most of the vibe is bass ball cards, beenie babies, and furbies. As a 40 year player and pro luthier I know what you have.

do i detect a hint of jealousy mr? :-) dont worry - I'm sure when Peter Green or Jimmy Page want their strings changed they'll call you and maybe you can touch the real mcCoy... but then again - thats not really gonna happen is it - IDIOT!

well, I would give my nice cosy house for one of these... then I would rent a small house and sleep with the guitar at night... Then when I came from work I would watch it and masturbate. Better than porn!

I have to had this.. I just tried the 59 50th anniversary and this guitar is the best sounding and playing LP I ever played period.. I'm very happy with the R0 I bought recently and it really was sounding better than a couple of R9 I tried but if I only had tried the 50th anniversary before...

i think pretty much everyone here agrees that the 59' is better. i love both

That playing was anything but cheesy. In fact, I'd called it classic, bluesy, tasteful and dripping with tone.

Shadesofblue1988 2 years ago
Out of 5 R9's LP I tried, I had to go with the R0. The sound of an R0 can be a little more twangy and a little more brighter. A good compromise for a the strat player a I was (since I can hardly put the R0 down). Off of these 2 originals, the 1960's a winner to me.. its just an opinion ; )

i like the feel of the 60's neck better its nice and thing and very easy to play but the 59' id say sounds better and is cooler but i mean fuck that i'm not paying $400,000 for that guitar i mean.. you could buy a super nice house with that money id rather have a replica instead of paying that much but damn id be to scared to play it its so expensive
orangetransformer 2 years ago
Uh... look, the guitar is just as much an investment as the house. So it's not money wasted, is it. If you don't have 400K you can't buy it - if you do, maybe it's good investment.
Scared to play it? Huh? Would you be scared to live in the house?

Well, light some some candles in that lovely 400K house, go put on some coffee, and when you come back, the house is burning down! LOL!
fishnose1 2 years ago
Ah, but if the floor caves in at your house, you can have it fixed and the renovation would increase the value of the home. If you break the headstock on your $400,000 1959 Les Paul and have it fixed, the value would go down big time. As much as I would love to own a real '59 burst, I would only buy one if I hit the lottery for $100,000,000! Until then, I'm happy with my cheapo $5,000 '59 Reissue.
murfdog19 2 years ago
Aha! But if I owned a real '59 I'd sure as hell have it properly insured... lol
Anyway, I'm perfectly happy with my R0. And I'm lefty so I can forget finding a suitable Burst! There are only 4 known lefty Bursts, 1 of which is owned by Paul McCartney - and one by John McEnroe!
fishnose1 2 years ago
you are totally right..buy a gibson for 2000$ that looks very very close and install the same pickups...and voila you have a 400,000$ guitar and a house
DuDe1040 2 years ago
An excellent idea. Real 50's PAF's are going to be expensive so I'd pick the right guitar.
MyOldGuitars 2 years ago
itd have to have the long neck tenon too...to Really the best thing is to completely build a 59 from scratch and get schematics for it...they have ones made from areal 1959..very easy to find actually. Much less costly than spending 2-5 grand for a gibson. the common is itd take about 700 bucks to make your own 1959. if youre adventurous you could drop the cash on real pafs though
