Got mine 1980 new, most amazing guitar ever, best sustain ever... your right , has to be the fastest guitar ive had like Al said... Had a 1977 Flying V, was pretty close... great vid...
Haha, thats so true. I just saw Jimmy Page with a greco, and of course Slash almost exclusively uses Greco’s, o, and did you see Randy Rhoads new Greco signature? O wait, none of what I said is true, real players prefer to play a real les paul.
WOW! HOW MUCH OF THAT NONSENSE CAN YOU TAKE BEFORE YOU WANT TO VOMIT? SHREDDING IS THE SAME SONG PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ITS LIKE PLAYING A SONG OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHERE EVER NOTE IS A BEND. DOESN'T TAKE MUCH 2 AMUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY!
@Macsk8ing Ya, im stupid for asking a vintage guitar question, because I totally know all about them. You know, I gotta 59 les paul back home so im some sort of aging guitar expert.
@PBANDSNOW Then if you're such an expert why do you ask . I mean it doesn't even look chrome, it looks gold but little worn, maybe you're expert aged eyes are starting to fail.
haha i lol'd at the beggining when you started playing you jump up and then play but sweet guitar my step dad has a Flying V and it sounds better than a les paul in my opinion but well i've never heard a les paul in real life so i can't really say
Why are you idiots making ignorant negative comments. If you don't like the sound then don't view the video, who cares what he is playing on! Nice guitar i have 3 customs myself!
@scottnme24: They do it because they are unable to attempt the type of fast shredding that the host displays here. Negative comments from "musicians" reveal only insecurities and ignorance.
Guys. Both my uncle and grandfather are internationally famous record producers (my uncle GGGarth produced RHCP, Melvins, etc) and my grandfather (Jack Richardson, pioneer of the Canadian music industry) and they always say that Les Pauls and Strat’s and Tele’s are good for almost all recording, but if you want heavy metal, sludge metal, or simple indie, les paul custom. I hate metal, but you cant say that this doesnt totally work.
I totally agree. This music I'm playing is shit on here. But, who are you to determine or say what anyone should or shouldn't be aloud to play on any guitar anywhere in the world?
@johnhguitar Yeah you go girl! Its people like samthehiggins that should be banned from new media. I have the "brother" of this guitar, a black custom. The mics have the same kind of "les paul punch" as yours. Really good guitar and an awesome video! keep it up greets from sweden.
@johnhguitar Don't listen to that guy man, I play Doom Metal and I use a 2009 Gibson Les Paul Traditional. I love the sound that the Les Paul has. The main reason I use one however is because of how they feel. I think this is a good demo. Thank you,
@johnhguitar in my opinion Gibson LP Custom is the guitar that you can play anything with...so just tell the neighboors to move out once you get one in your hands...
@samthehiggins i disagree, a les paul is versatile, i play blues, rock and even some metal on mine and it does it all amazingly well and I think the stuff he is playing isnt bad, he is a decent player and you can hear the great tone of the lp custom
@samthehiggins I don't agree with you, a lp is very versatile, i play blues, indie, rock and metal on mine and it does it all really well and its only an epi les paul (i'd love a gibson) but i have to admit it tackles all your classic rock - hard rock the best by far and his playing isn't bad, would have been nice to have heard more 80s hard rock though but oh well, its still ok
@samthehiggins Dude, I play EVERYTHING on my LP. From blues to heavy metal. And so do several other people. Other people may think like you, but not everyone does. Chill.
@samthehiggins u can play ANY type of music on ANY type of guitar!!!!!!!! I could play metal on a tele and blues on a dean. all that matters is your skills
OK Everyone has a right to an opinion but to help stir up the dust tell us why you don't like the vid. Maybe you're afraid someone might improve from your critique?
Yes you are correct re the Studio... I've only seen the faded ones! However, the Customs generally do have maple caps except some very early ones and a couple of other exceptions. Yes, they have mahogany bodies - sometimes two-piece, sometime one-piece... no idea why this is. My own Les Pauls are 3- piece i.e. a sandwich of two parts mahogany with a maple cap. Both with volutes. One with a mahogany neck and one with a maple neck.
played one of these in the store yesterday, the natural tone sounded great, way better than my jackson, but i need the floyd rose, im torn... i cant decide if i should save up for one of these or not
To my knowledge, all LP Customs have a maple top. I'm not aware that this has ever changed. The cheaper model like "The Studio" don't have the maple cap.
The neck on my 70s Cherry sunburst Les Paul Custom was made from 3- piece maple (all quarter-sawn) and was extremely heavy!!
@MusicManxxxxx hello, You are a bit confused.... the Studios have a maple cap Except the FADED ones. and all customs have ALL mahogany bodies. except some old customs. theres a fireburst model that is similar to a regular cherry sunburst but the plasting rings and knobs are black. it has a maple cap and its flamed as well. Firebursts today dont have that i think
@6090Ben ESPs are great man. they are shred machines with lightning fast neck,great pickups (most of them have EMGs). if you like the heavy stuff then you can't go wrong with the ESP LTD.
A Question. Are you sure of the year of this guitar? I was under the impression that all les paul customs after 1969 had a volute on the back of the peghead. I have a 74 with the volute and clearly there is not one on your guitar. I have read a lot about dating these so I am curious to know if this is an exception. Any info you can give me would be appreciated.
@SiKxBlAzEr hes using a pick, pay attention, I dont care what he said, hes messing with you, if you pay attention you see him holding the pick, just watch his hand
@johnguitar Seems as though you're a SoCal native. I was looking through your links for the shop you work for/with to setup guitars and couldn't find anything. I'd like to know the name/address of the shop or a link if it's in SoCal. Thanks in advance.
Gotta Les Paul Deluxe made july 13th 1978. Gonna put a set of Lollal pickups in it soon. Love it. Now I gotta get me a Custom model for the full sized pickups. Never say ya can't play one thing or another on a Les Paul. They can do it all. Easy to play and if ya don't mind the weight, they do the job.
These antique white oes are so much better looking than the black/ebony ones!! I have ta same colour custom classic model n i think its way better looking than the black.. and i also had a chance to buy blak if i wanted to.. shud be lik WHITE BEAUTY or sumthing
dude, oh so defensive, just wanted to hear it clean and maybe some other players might enjoy the natural tone that is buried under all that metal......wait I know metal rules................LOL
@johnhguitar if this hero was playing this at 15, he wouldn't be leaving comments on your youtube review I'll give you the tip, haha some people are jokers, You think we believe your bullshit bossmxr1?
I would like to say that the audio quality of you video is really good for review, there is no compression and I can really hear what you are doing, which is important when I want to hear a review. What setup do you use? camera or room mic? Anyway, I am going to buy one of these and your review conviced me that any limitations I might discover in it is merely my own fingers....
But I'd like to hear someone do a screaming note on the 4th G fret on it, curious as wether it can.
We attach a Rone stereo video mic to an older model Panasonic GS500 videocam. The camera has an audio control that tells you if you're maxing out the sound, so if that happens I adjust the level downward.
Then if the total volume is too low for YouTube, I increase the volume in the video editing software.
I didn't do this in the earlier videos so they may be of lower quality.
@johnhguitar Thanks for that reply mister, you're a better man than I.
I bought the guitar as I said, and its awesome. Some of my friends are threatening to kill me to get to it, but I like the attention he he.
The only nag is that the bridge pickup doesnt have any thump, its so weedy, if I did that riff you did at about 2:55 it'd be much thinner. So I am really curios to find out whats going on,
@merqury5 the neck pickup is nice fat and round as it should be. Maybe its just a soldering fault or a broken capacitor, I dont know, but I dont think the pickups itself could be broken since its basically just a coil.
Did you notice by the way that If you look at the paint on the top in bright light you can se the grain through it?
Who said anything about parents*? I am not a kid, but I have seen kids who just saved up and worked to get nice gear, like I did when I was younger
Where there's a will, there's a way, my friend.
What you don't get is that, if you are getting a $4k guitar, and you don't have a better amp than that, then you are just stupid. You can get a GREAT guitar and amp for $3k.
If he has all those Gibsons and only that amp to use, that just means he spent his money very unwisely
We used the Roland 30 amp to even the playing field among the different guitars. I know that sounds strange but this whole thing is more about an opinion than a performance. I didn't do this to impress people with my sound or my playind per say.
It's about getting people to share what they know about these products once they've heard the bullshit that comes out of my mouth.
It's just to ME, the SOUND of the guitar is the MOST important thing in a review, which is what's stated this is.
Assuming someone looking at reviews is interested in buying one, especially people who don't have the option of trying before buying:
Just like buying a performance car, if you want to feel the car drive as it is made to when testing it, you don't put low grade fuel in it. You give it what it's made to run on, projecting it's potential
Thanks Jordan. These vids are barf from a professional point of view. I idea is to recreate someone in a music shop picking up the instrument maybe for the first time and blowing out an opinion as basic and as unbiased as possible. My EPI review however wasn't that way. Thanks for your interest and keep up with your music.

$4000 for a piece of wood with strings and electronics? I want one but not if I have to pay. Hopefully my dad will get me one for my b-day.

@shredheadbob a solid mohogany body tends to have a darker/ warmer tone adding a maple top brightens the sound

dude, I played that stuff when I was 15. Can you play some clean blues on it??

Not now, it's in the past. We already have recorded this video segment and I'm not going to change it or make a new one just for you dude.

@johnhguitar if this hero was playing this at 15, he wouldn't be leaving comments on your youtube review I'll give you the tip, haha some people are jokers, You think we believe your bullshit bossmxr1?

@johnhguitar i personally would agree with boss, i think it's terrible waste of tone on a les paul if your just gonna shred on it

Hello there
I would like to say that the audio quality of you video is really good for review, there is no compression and I can really hear what you are doing, which is important when I want to hear a review. What setup do you use? camera or room mic? Anyway, I am going to buy one of these and your review conviced me that any limitations I might discover in it is merely my own fingers....
But I'd like to hear someone do a screaming note on the 4th G fret on it, curious as wether it can.

We attach a Rone stereo video mic to an older model Panasonic GS500 videocam. The camera has an audio control that tells you if you're maxing out the sound, so if that happens I adjust the level downward.
Then if the total volume is too low for YouTube, I increase the volume in the video editing software.
I didn't do this in the earlier videos so they may be of lower quality.

@johnhguitar Thanks for that reply mister, you're a better man than I.
I bought the guitar as I said, and its awesome. Some of my friends are threatening to kill me to get to it, but I like the attention he he.
The only nag is that the bridge pickup doesnt have any thump, its so weedy, if I did that riff you did at about 2:55 it'd be much thinner. So I am really curios to find out whats going on,
merqury5 1 year ago
@merqury5 the neck pickup is nice fat and round as it should be. Maybe its just a soldering fault or a broken capacitor, I dont know, but I dont think the pickups itself could be broken since its basically just a coil.
Did you notice by the way that If you look at the paint on the top in bright light you can se the grain through it?

is it weird if that guitar just gave me a *****?

Not a very good review of a guitar. Didn't even demonstrate the clean tones, nor mention the pickup types etc...

Who said anything about parents*? I am not a kid, but I have seen kids who just saved up and worked to get nice gear, like I did when I was younger
Where there's a will, there's a way, my friend.
What you don't get is that, if you are getting a $4k guitar, and you don't have a better amp than that, then you are just stupid. You can get a GREAT guitar and amp for $3k.
If he has all those Gibsons and only that amp to use, that just means he spent his money very unwisely

We used the Roland 30 amp to even the playing field among the different guitars. I know that sounds strange but this whole thing is more about an opinion than a performance. I didn't do this to impress people with my sound or my playind per say.
It's about getting people to share what they know about these products once they've heard the bullshit that comes out of my mouth.

@johnhguitar
That makes somewhat sense.
It's just to ME, the SOUND of the guitar is the MOST important thing in a review, which is what's stated this is.
Assuming someone looking at reviews is interested in buying one, especially people who don't have the option of trying before buying:
Just like buying a performance car, if you want to feel the car drive as it is made to when testing it, you don't put low grade fuel in it. You give it what it's made to run on, projecting it's potential

Sorry, I couldn't fit everything in one reply.
Continuing, I am not bashing this video. It just was something that caught my eye and I commented on. (The expensive guitar and cheap amp)
When I said "if you are getting a $4k guitar and don't have a better amp than that, then you are just stupid", I wasn't referring to you.
I was speaking in the sense of someone saying that they can't afford a nice amp because their parents aren't rich, yet they would have a $4k guitar...

Apparently two wasn't enough either, ha.
Anyway, speaking of your playing, which you said wasn't the point; you have great chops and from other videos seem to play very well.
My hat goes off to you.
I, myself though, am more of a creamy, dimed mid's, low gain, low presence type of guy, with some crunchy treble dirt every once in a while ;)

Thanks Jordan. These vids are barf from a professional point of view. I idea is to recreate someone in a music shop picking up the instrument maybe for the first time and blowing out an opinion as basic and as unbiased as possible. My EPI review however wasn't that way. Thanks for your interest and keep up with your music.
