  • i've got an erection

  • I Love it :-)

  • How is the name of the song?!

    0:00 - 0:17

  • @LSDVision4 it's just a blues progression

  • You Really Need Both! A Strat, and a Les Paul. Of course it wouldn't hurt to have a Tele, and SG too!! Maybe a PRS dare we say?

  • Since you guys made me confused, I bought a Fender American Standard Telecaster ( I love it and don't change it for anything) and an ebony Gibson Custom ( love at the first sight). Believe me I have every thing I always wished for. (Just between you and me, I waited 10 years to be able to afford both of these). You won't lose buying any of these fine guitars, Have fun as I have.

  • These things are ridiculously expensive, but you pay more to get more. #YouGetWhatYouPayFor

  • AWESOME!

  • And another thing: craftsmanship is another word for inaccuracy. Try a hand built car any time soon and you'll be running back to your perfectly CNC-assembled Passat very quickly.

  • Gibson and Fender have a lot in common: they are both woefully underengineered and designed electric guitars and have been far surprised. A great start, a bit like a Ford Model T, but wouldn't want to be driving one now!

  • vos yes lets charge 10k lol gibson has got to get their shit together or go bankrupt.. they can't compete to the eclipse and the ibanez artist any more, sure everyone wants a real gibson but a difference of 4,5k I wont moan about the decal. and anyone who says I day this because I can't afford one, you're right i can't afford one, I can afford 10 in fact i have 2 vos but that doesn't mean i agree with the price, it only means the decal gibson has risen to our heads.

  • Once you play a Gibon VOS through any amp my choice: ( King Vibro) with some good strings and good cables, you feel the history of the VOS series

    Thanks Gibson!

  • i love fenders and gibsons, its just sometimes im feeling a strat or a tele, sometimes im in a les paul or sg mood

  • Fenders get out of tune too easily. Gibson will always win

  • @ragingbull2001 FENDERS DONT GO OUT OF TUNE ! IT'S U THAT'S OUT OF TUNE MY DEAR ABSENT MINDED FRIEND !!!!!!!!

  • @harleykingman

  • @KyleAB5000 DIDNT MEAN 2 PISS IN UR COFFEE THERE KYLE . IT'S JUST THAT IVE HAD FENDERS ALL MY LIFE SINCE I WSA 15 , NOW 66 , NEVER EVER HAD ANY OF MY FENDERS GO OUT OF TUNE EVEN IF BEING MOVED 2 ANOTHER GIG OR SITTING A FEW DAYS WITHOUT PLAYING THEM . THERE IS A WAY 2 TIGHTEN THE TUNERS MAKING THEM MUCH TIGHTER .

NAM HAD 2 B THE WORST PLACE IVE EVER BEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE ! REALLY SUCKED THE DONKEY DICK !

  • I Dont know, At 4:40 - 4:50 That sounds like shit! I know Its not the guitar, The guitar is amazing! It must be the amp or the way the player has it set. Sound too thick and muffled. Theres no life to that, sounds kinda dead. Its a Horrible tone to me. I dont know why the player has it set like that, dude is wack.

  • the only thing I hate about Gibsons are that they are all made with such fat 50s profile necks it bothers me so much that they are barely doing super thin necks like they did in the 60s and 70s

  • I've been playing for 30 years and I bought a 2008 LP Standard - my worse guitar! It has the tapered plec'd neck, which is no big deal. It won't stay in tune for more than 10 seconds! I've changed the tuners twice, the nut three times, tried .011's, have had five set-ups and minor adjustments and it will not stay in tune. I wrote to Gibson when I first bought it and they told me to call my local service center and they can't get it right either! Mine cost $2,000 VOS $5k! Keep it.

  • @gman8thst i bought a studio for 900 bucks and it's perfect stays in tune for weeks plays like a fuck and looks amazing. don't blame Gibson only because i've been ripped off!! If after 30 years of playing you still aren't good to play and check a guitar before buying it, well that's your problem. Anyway I never had problems with my Gibbys, and my 1960 VOS Paul is the best guitar that i've ever played. Gibson USA guitars are amazing, but the Custo Shop ones are simply pure art.

  • Why are people still arguing Gibson vs Fender. They both have different design philosophies. Gibson: Handcrafted, Fender: Mass produced. Both are good in their own way. A Gibson will always sound like a Gibson and a Fender will always sound like a Fender. Different strokes for . . . you know the rest.

  • @shotgunsteve93 They;re both mass produced these days - in fact both ave lost their quality from years ago and never regained it.

  • @shotgunsteve93 Pff. Gibsons is Mass produced to. Fender are "Handcrafted" in the custom shop or the old 1960 or something. Gibsons "customs" are handcrafted. Yea, but the standards or the studios is. Yes my friend, mass produced.

    Get your facts straight.

  • Lol...Or you can just buy a Vintage (The guitar company) les paul and save you alot of bucks.. Seriously i love Gibson, i got 2 les pauls but Vintage makes better Les Pauls than Gibson does now, and the reissues aint half as good as a vintage gibson. Or a Vintage Les Paul..

  • @zbarneyz I love my Vintage, (The guitar company) guitar, but I'd seriously love to own a Gibson Custom, a black Custom that the guy keeps playing in the video. It's partly the name that makes you buy one though :p

  • I have the 57 goldtop and I can say, very proud, that it's the best guitar I ever played.

  • oh yeah my uncle's les paul was 55....... and I fucking HATED it.

  • The monotony of narrator's voice makes me want to commit suicide.

  • HE CONTRADICTS HIMSELF SOOOOO MUCH!!!

  • Oh man they know how to sell us their guitars !! Need a R9 :D

  • Pop Expo- I think that so many players end with Strats becuase the started out with them due to the affordability factor. I own both Strats and Les Pauls and while I like both the Fenders simply don't compare to the Gibsons. LP's are very versatile-they span the sound gamut from jazz to hard rock to metal quite well,whereas Strats, well they sound like Strats.

  • @Oldsixtyeight Thats why you add a strat with humbuckers!!!

  • @iztech101 funny i started out on my uncle's Les Paul. when i found MY sound, a gibson didn't compare to what a strat can do. sorry I strongly disagree with you.

  • @PopExpo the only thing that a strat can do is sound like cheap pice of crap wood compared to my vos R9!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • @sbuba90 is that why hendrix and clapton played them?

  • yeah, and bring 10 grand, there was a time when ALL Gibsons were like that

  • The Mike Bloomfield Les Paul is without a doubt, the best guitar I have ever played in my life. The tone is great and the feel of it is out of this world. Plus, the color is exactly what I would imagine a '59 Les Paul would look like - it truly is a masterpiece. However, the price tag is too far out of my reach. But, if you are rich and want the best, Gibson can make it as good as the originals. I don't know what they do to them to get that little extra "mojo" feel out of it.

  • I love my Gibson Les Paul. PRS guitars are not bad guitars. theyre pretty nice too.

  • 2:03

    SG line is the best!

  • GIBSON IS THE BEST!!! 

  • My step dad actuly works at the Gibson Custom shop in Nashville Tennessee. Its actuly pretty cool! He brings in all kinds of pictures. Him and one other person got hired when over 5000 people put in application within 3 weeks. he started out rubbing somethin on the guitar and wipeing it off with alot of pressure with a rag now he talks about how he chizzles the neck bit by bit to get it percise. he alo talks about how thir is a secret room where they make aged Randy R. guitars.

  • Gibson custom shop guitars really are shit hot, but Gibson USA should be avoided at all costs, there are far better cheaper guitars out there. :)

  • Just ordered a Black beauty 57 with 3 Burstbuckers. :D :D

  • To day i ordered a Black beauty 57with 3 pickups. :D :D Can´t wait!

  • Gibson guitars are truly epic!

    I wish they made a Gibson Flying V Custom

  • if carlsberg made les paul adverts.

  • Anyone want to lend me 4 grand?

  • whats the guitar at 4:02? it looks like an sg but they never made sg's with binding

  • @andrewcy17 I think its the Gibson Custom Johnny A. Its a double cut hollowbody

  • ac/dc guitar you tube kron294

  • though it's "only" a LP Studio i love my gibson and i sometimes thinking how lucky i am to be able to afford such a guitar

  • The voice sounds like Gene Simons.

  • I love some VOS models. But there's nothing like the gloss on a black headstock and a sparkly maple top on a reissue.

  • the love of my life!!!!!

  • This sooooo makes me want a Gibson. Probably the BEST advertising put out by any guitar manufacterer. EVER.

    When I can really afford one Gibson... When I can really afford one.

  • @Canadianspunge i really want 1 2, they look, sound and feel so awesome, whenever i see my mate, i play his, it is the best and nice and light the best guitars ever

  • 6:46 Not plugged xD

  • GetOverit 1213... the reason those dudes used the strat is because it obviously has a bit more versatility than a les paul. A vibrato system, Three pickups, 3 or five way switching, incredible clean tone, and ease of customizing and modifying it. you can basically can do anything with a strat, even put humbuckers in it. I see more (pro) players using a Fender than a GIbson, and they all make it sound their own. the majority of les paul players i've seen ( not all) all play that heavy gain shit.

  • Also Seth Lovers Humbuckers he made for fender couldn't be any more different from the ones he made for Gibson. Cuknife magnets, Pole pieces are in a spit array. .... Uh yeah my point is valid because jimi, believe it or not, also used a clean tone on his records. Also my strat rules all other guitars even these overrated pieces of shit in this video.

  • I don't think it's an SG. It looks more like the Johnny A. inspired guitar. Looks a lot like an SG, but better :D

  • You're right.

  • is that an sg with binding at 4:02

  • mine is a 1960 custom black beauty les paul

    im savin for my first american made gibson sg

    but ya cant lie the fender strat +gibson les paul

    2 of the greatest guitars made

  • i just dont understand why some other guitarists like SRV malmstein Vai, Satriani, Van Halen, and Clapton didn't use the gibsons cuz they really are the best. Is it because each of those guitarists need their "sound" or what..? All i know is that gibson is the best guitar making company in the world.

  • @GetOverIt1213 gibson is really good but not the best

  • Clapton did use Gibson. He had a '64 ES-335, '59 Les Paul, and SG, but i'm not sure what year. And Eddie had a Les Paul

  • 1964 sg

  • @JimmyPage968

    Don't forget Clapton's Firebird! Also, EVH played several different Les Pauls, and he even had an original 1958 Flying V, if I'm not mistaken

  • form without substance: what are the original vintage specs? e.g., what was the neck radius in 59? do the reissues match?,Neck Shape, woods, neck attachment? It will take more than a pretty voice and vague comments to convince me to invest in a reissue.

  • this dude talking sounds like a douche. its a piece of wood its what your make of it. Jimi mainly rocked shity CBS strats. Doesn't matter how fancy the guitar is if you suck at guitar you suck. don't let this advertisement get to you. spend your money on a education.

  • jimi only used tons of effect, so your point isn't valid

  • Soon i will get a real gibson i my hands...

    may god bless gibson company!

  • If I were to play a vintage / VOS guitar, it'd be a 1960 les paul because it has a thinner neck that's more comfortable to me, but if i were to get one for historical value, it'd b a 1959

  • That guitar he's playing on 1:17 ... does anyone know where im able to get one? its my dream guitar and i was like "Whooaahh!!" when i saw him play it. its the exact guitar i want, and ive been begging my parents to get me one.

  • well its a $4,000+ guitar... so hopefuly u got some rich parents

  • yep it aint gonna happen kid ... it would cost £2400

  • haha yeah but ive been keeping promise to everything they asked for. getting perfect grades so far, doing whatever they need. Its not that im poor or anything, im pretty ballin.

  • i don't know whether someone answered already but it might be a gibson les paul custom reissue 57. I have the same guuitar but mine has 3 humbuckers.

  • Strumenti di notevole qualità! Ma decisamente sovrapprezzati.

  • which is why their guitars are rediculously over priced...

  • do u really have go to an actual gibson company to get a custom fixed for u?

  • is every reissued guitar being set up with plek machine these days ?

  • gibson invented the humbucker? thought it was seth green

  • I think you mean seth lover. seth green is an actor. Seth Lover invented the humbucker while working with Gibson.

  • haha im a dumbass. thanks for the info

  • Seth Lover also invented fender's wide range humbuckers in the 70's. just a random fact.

  • set green invented chicken robot.

  • mine would be a les paul custom with an ebony finish gold pick ups and bridge with gold strings

  • mines 59 les paul standard.

  • my dream guitar would be a white les paul custom with a 57 classic in the bridge and duncan alnico 2 pro in neck with ernieball 11 gauge RPS strings

  • Since everybody is blurging out their dream LP, mine is a 2008 Les Paul Axcess Iced Tea Burst w/ Floyd

  • these guys got the best job ever

  • yea i know i want to work there too.. heard they pay the workers heaps

  • i dont care if they pay cheap...just to say that i work for gibson would be enough for me

  • I want a Les Paul Black beauty with 3 pickups and a bigsby the perfect tuxedo on stage.

  • my dream les paul is a les paul custom with a truburst finish

  • haha at 1:06

  • jimmy page and slash play with gibson les paul... so you can't say it's not the greatest guitar ever made

  • Comment removed

  • omg the hair! the hair!

    @ 6:39

    gisons are really nice guitars!

    i had the pleasure to play the gibson lp ebony vos. it was incredible.

  • stuck in the 80s i guess

  • '57 VOS Goldtop... that sums it up for me. Absolutely stunning instruments. Sounds good, plays good and looks exactly what Gibson Les Paul Goldtop (with humbuckers) should look.

  • Yeah ... my dream guitar/s :)

  • Comment removed

  • ...i love Gibson!!!Tanks father...

  • And, unsurpassed price tag

  • Wonder what happens when (if) they screw one up?

  • they harry carry lol

  • couldnt they have gotten a better guitarist t demonstrate the guitar? not saying this guy is bad or anything but i wanna hear some gnarley licks not this noodling foolery.

  • les paul thru marshall=beautiful tone.

  • Les Paul Gold top with P-90's through a vox AC30....even better.

  • Gibsons VOS guitars are on par with PRS guitars nowadays although still not as consistent. I have a PRS McCarty and it really can't touch a good VOS Les Paul as far as tone goes. The PRS just doesn't have the mojo of a good gibson it dreams of being. PRS makes nice furniture IMO.

  • prs are overated man

  • Well its kinda weird. I feel that PRS guitars are too perfect looking. They a really thick shiny polyurethane finish that prevents the guitar from resonating well naturally. They have a lip around the body of the guitar thats uncomfortable and entirely for aesthetic purposes. They have hot pickups that are potted way to much so they are smooth and can take an ass load of distortion but they lack the character of a good vintage pickup.

  • I own a reissued 1960 Sunburst colored Arch top Standard Les Paul with Burstbuckers in it...It rocks and plays clean amazingly...

    I own a shredder guitar with EMG 81 and it destroys ears when turned up at full volumes...

    Another fairly priced quality built to custom specifications guitar company is Carvin.

  • Plenty of great guitars out there. My custom shop Les Paul is a great guitar but, not my favorite.

  • Mines being made there right now! i've been waiting a month already, i can't take it much longer....

  • Gibson KICKS ASS!

  • @hukkunut PRS is better

  • PRS lit a fire under Gibson's sloppy, low quality pieces of inferior shit. Given that PRS offers a truely quality guitar, set up properly at the factory for 2K, Gibson should be ashamed at what they produced from 1960 until today. It costs about 8K to get a really well built "custom" guitar from Gibson and it STILL is NOT comparable to what they produced in the 1950's. How sad.

  • i completely disagree. PRS are some fine pieces of wood with some incredible tone, but you gotta be a les paul player to like les pauls. dont talk shit.

  • @digger68 very true...i own 2 les pauls and played many PRS's and both are amazing!!!!!

  • FUCK U I WHAT A GIBSON.....hehe i have a coustum epiphone.....

  • Shouldn't they all be original specs. So we pay $2000.00 and up more for VOS and $1000.-2,999.000 for crap. Okay.

  • Ha, play an Ibanez, then play a gibson.

  • My thoughts exactly.

  • that it went through this process i mean:)

  • its crazy to think my r8 was made by this talented people..

  • wow !

  • go gibson

  • Hello?

  • Hello!!

  • LOL....trying to get guitar village to respond...

  • Wow, would it be a genuine Gibson?

  • sadly, no.

  • Gene Simmons

  • Gene Simmons?  He's in this video?

  • some of you know where can I find some tabs like the songs we can listen during the video cause they are really good!!

  • fantastico!!! la creacion de todo un mito!!!

  • good video but the narriator sound boring

  • si tu veux être entendu , il va falloir se mettre à l'anglais mon gars...

  • The guy talking sounds like Gene Simmons.

  • it's Duane Eddy The King of Twang and the coolest voice in the world.

  • My R8 ('58 RI) is on order with my shop's reauthorization. Should be here in June - can't wait!

  • whats the song that begins at 01.34?

  • I'll go to buy les paul 58VOS next month:D:D:D:D

  • If you say "vintage" one more time i'm gonna cry

  • Vintage.

  • vintage...

  • vintage...nice

  • 7:21 of AWSOMENESS!!!!!! I love Gibson! I bought a Gibson SG Platinum special last week! Pretty awsome. I wanted a Les Paul but couldn't afford it. :( but i got an SG :D

  • SG's are awsome.

    i bought an sg aswell.

    i wanted a les paul standard sunburst re-issue 1959 model.

    but i am very happy with my SG standard

  • The Historic series is just ridiculously good.

    I've had 3 PRS guitars...all beautiful players wonderfully made, and every one of them sounded like a toy next to my new 57 Goldtop. It just made them all sound like they were broken;)

    TH

  • That's what I call a video.

    Gibson is such a good guitar.Just did it do all those video noises or is the amplificator and pedals?

  • sound is nice

  • I want a job BUFFING guitars at the Gibson shop. aha

  • Id rather be the guy that has to test the playability and tone of each guitar :D

  • My DREAM guitar- Gibson Les Paul Custom Alpine White. (drools)

    I'd like to see the building of mine one (Gibson Les Paul Custom Alpine White)!

  • me too oh god!!! a nice supreme aswell :)

  • I bought a '57 Historic Goldtop-worth every penny,definately lives up to the hype.
