  • Well Pete Townshend edition or not i think the guy got famous for playing SGs. (Much less expensive for destroying the instrument after the set. ;-))

  • he's a fucking idiot. all les pauls mostly have trapezoid inlays

  • Jesus Christ how many times does this guy say 'really'?!?! He said it about four time- oh no there's five times- while I was writing this comment. Not to mention he's a crap player.

  • @MackenzieLawless Well let`s put it this way. At least you could play more than punk rock riffs on this guitar that`s for sure. ;-)

  • sound like tooooooooooootal shit. fuckin overdrive .

  • @slawo0000 Overdrive is beautiful. He was using horrible digital distortion.

  • Dear Santa...

  • Totally nailed Pete's tone. *rolls eyes*

  • I would like to see this guy attacked by a werewolf midway through one of his videos

  • Wait one minute! We all know craftman ship does not matter. You do not need craftmen in this country. You can make that in China or India. Lets get the FBI to raid Gibson.

  • go out for a bite, haaaaaaaaa, still be eari'n that one!

  • Had a 72,had to sell it later to take care of my kid. Lesson..don't have kids.

  • @biggfingger5 lmfao!!!!! i bought a 1956 lespaul goldtop (epiphone) handsome guitar lol

  • love the guitars:) hate the p90 :(

  • @WorldPodTour They're mini-humbuckers. :)

  • With that much distorition, it sounds the same as a standard!

  • i learnt nothing from this video

  • @TheRossBeast A 1962 Les Paul is hardly one of the first LPs made, however it WOULD qualify as vintage. 20 years ago a well-known rock guitarist (Martin Barre) had a 1959 LP which he stopped taking out on the road with him after he learned (then) it was worth about $40 thousand dollars. He was afraid it would be stolen. He sold it a few years ago and he said he earned enough from the sale to place a sizeable chunk of cash toward the purchase of a home in Canada.

  • @vannin666 You read my mind...HAHAHA. I couldn't hear much difference at all between the pickups in this demo except that the bridge was slightly edgier...tonewise that Line6 just doesn't do this justice.

  • Lol what are you talking about?? Trapezoid inlays ARE the standard fret marker inlays. The Custom has the block inlays.

  • do they make an epiphone goldtop les paul standard?

  • Of course they do.

  • Lines 6 blows fat cock.

  • What is this guy freaking talking about?!?!? Tone?!?! He seems like he's reading all this jargon about tone and manipulating the sound with the pots from a cue card. He sounds like total crap. I'm seeing a sweet LP but if I close my eyes for all I know its a cheap ibanez.

  • @vannin666 I've been trying to figure out what bugs me about this guy and you just helped me figure it out. This guy always uses a Line 6 on insane with the gain all the way up. He actually makes all of the guitars he demos sounds exactly the same! He's like a rookie 13 year old teen with a new guitar.

  • to really get the balsy tone of a gibson, you need to play through a tube amp. i have an epiphone les paul, which yes i know, isnt as good as a gibson. but i have a solid state and i know im not getting the full possibility of the guitar through that amp.

  • Dude you're the only person i know that can make an epic Les Paul sound like crap. And i'm not talking about the playing, i'm talking about the bad, no... HORRIBLE tone!

  • Are you retards aware that he prefers tube amps? He uses the Line 6 SS amp because he's in a small, closed room. HURR DURR.

  • Comment removed

  • You're all just jealous that he gets paid to play a Les Paul goldtop..

  • Hey now guys, he may not be using the best amp in the world and I will admit that I don't like the review as much as others out there, but he's just doing his thing and having fun. Maybe if they had a bigger space to play in they would use a tube amp, but they aren't in a recording studio either so they have to use what they got. I love the Gibson Les Paul models from the 70's more than newer ones.

  • we he makes that guitar sound shitty man i wish i could teach him how to equilize things first turn the overdrive down then cut the treble down and put a lil more bass your tone sucks

  • Comment removed

  • @MsChrissummerfield He's not here commenting on people. Dick.

  • @gavquinn yeh yeh what ever :P

  • this retard doesn't deserve that gold top

  • @Inyurface209 jealous much

  • This is one of the shittiest reviews I have ever hear. A Danelectro would sound the same. I think this guy is either oblivious to irritating bullshit or tone deaf. He obviously worships Zakk Wylde.

    I think he should follow his own advice about fiddling around with knobs for different sounds and tones. The obvious first choice would be a different amp - a Peavey classic 30 tube amp would do fine. He would fuck it up by putting some maximum overdrive stompbox inline.

    These reviews suck ass.

  • didnt realise frikkin eminem played guitar :L

  • This guy is pretty annoying. He is not that good...IMO

  • Is it me or is this guy a ass clown

  • @mrsidward I dunno.Seems to me he's at least contributing a little more to society than just running others down on YT.

  • @mrsidward you

  • This guitar also needs to bee played through a Who model Hiwatt (4 volumes, 1 bass, 1 treble, and 1 master volume). That's how you get "that" sound that Davey boy here is "reviewing."

  • Why is the truss rod ALWAYS set up wrong on his Gibson Les Pauls!!!

  • the worst reviews ever. what a shitty sound.. every guitar sounds the same.. like a 100 bucks guitar

  • damn i really wana get my hands on that guitar XD

  • do goldtops look better in person cuz i hate them, they are hideous

  • @DxRox22 Dogtags bro, pretty obvious

  • I hate this man with all my body. That is all

  • @Jrredwing8 Can you outplay him?

  • @vannin666 Lol great comment. Too bad you don't even know what a Line 6 amp is. In "clean" Line 6 is one of the sweetest sounding amps. Most people that play through them are rockers anyway. So go back to cleaning the spunk off your computer screen. Next time try searching for your idol (George Michael) instead of these rock guitar vids.

  • @vannin666 Lol great comment. Too bad you don't even know what a Line 6 amp is. In "clean" Line 6 is one of the sweetest sounding amps. Most people that play through a them are rockers anyway.

  • let him alone man he's not gonna change his sound (the asshole) just don't watch his video's

  • Ms SX looks & sounds and feels as good as a Les Paul. For a grain of the cost of a Gibson. Beat that !

  • Oh my god! He says "it's really a ballsy sound" every time he plays ANY Les Paul.

  • Strats are light as hell, too! They're not even similar to the weight of a Les Paul!

  • Fuck you guys are pathetic, the way you argue about FUCK ALL!!

  • "It has such a great tone." ... OH REALLY

  • My God, that sounds like shit...

  • Marshall MG30FX is the best portable amp.

  • Trapezoids inlays are standard on Les Pauls

  • Beautiful Axe but why would you demo a 2500 dollar Gibson USA LP through an injection molded Chinese turd of an amp..on the worst possible setting on the amp ...It's like filtering a fine wine through a pair of dirty under ware...........

  • That Line 6 Spider distortion rapes the guitar. You can play on a useless 20$ guitar and get the same result....

  • @RobinIvarsson that's not because the amp sucks - it's because the amp kind of covers up the nuances of the sound of the guitar and makes them all sound pretty much the same. the spiders are alright amps for the price - they aren't that good, but they do the job and don't really sound "bad". you could do a lot worse.

  • @Blompcube Yeah i guess your right about that.

    But what i meant was that it is a pretty bad amp the review the sound of a Les Paul or any other guitar for that matter when your on the "Extreme" pre-set on the amp.

    You can get that "ballsy" sound from any kind of guitar using that pre-set. Using a more organic sound like let's say from a tube amp would do more justice to the guitar the the Line 6 Spider amps.

  • Gibson and Marshall... The perfect combination... Line 6 thumbs waaaaay down :/

  • @vannin666 I own a line 6 and it kicks ass.

    U just sound like a prick. You have the right to your opinion, but geeze use some damn tact.

  • I love the Marshall MG 30W.

  • +1 @ZeppelinFreak59 That shit sounds artificial as hell. Just use a nice vintage amp man, that's a Pete Townshend!

  • Yeah those trapezoids are unusual...not!

  • Why on earth would you demo a really fine instrument through a Line 6 amp?

  • @tchimmerroks find something else to bitch about. Line 6 kick ass.

  • @HiOctane62 If you suck it kicks ass.

  • @RobinIvarsson Your a fucking retard. That mad no sense dumb ass.

  • @HiOctane62 Maybe if you read it again it will make more sense to you.

  • @RobinIvarsson I did and it fucking sounds stupid just like your stupid ass. To bad you can't back up your mouth asshole. I don't see any video's of you playing guitar. I may not be a guitar god but I play decent wish is alot better than you!

  • @HiOctane62 I know you get a hard on when arguing about stuff on youtube. But testing the sound of a Gibson Les Paul through a Line 6 spider on EXTREME pre-set is retarded you stupid ignorant fuck.

    Sure i bet your a good guitar player and I have never stated that im a great guitar player myself.

    But you just like everyone should know is that the line 6 isn't the greatest amp to review a great fucking guitar like that.

    And YOUR a reatard and YOU make no sense. I bet your 14 and very pubertal.

  • Please! Stop torturing those poor guitars a line 6!

  • is so funny when he says ^im not using effects,i m only using a distortion pedal ,reverb in the insame channel hahha

  • he starts playing at 2:57

  • That guitar sounds awesome, but I'd like to hear some cleaner tones.

  • Wow this just proves that the Line6 is universally the worst amp in the world no matter what guitar you play. (Even the 3000$ ones)

  • Who can ask for a better review, if you don't want this much disrtion go to a Fender review...

  • "...not the standard rectangles that Gibson has..." What a fucking dumbass... Trapeziod inlays are on all Les Pauls except custom shops and some studios have dots. And why the fuck is he playing this thing with so much distortion? This guitar has much better tones than this through better settings this is a shitty review, one of the worst I have ever seen.

  • @JoeythePope tbh if he played it through like a marhsall, orange or blackstar with a lot of gain it would sound a hell of better but he should also play on clean

  • What you guys in here thinking about the Gibson Les Paul Goldtop "57" ??

  • Hey, dickhead, the "almost like a greeny type thing" is called bronze powder that makes the goldtop finish after it has some age on it.. Jesus Christ learn about the shit you're reviewing. Sounded nothing like "that les paul sound" either. sounded more like some Dave Mustain Jackson / Charvel shit to me thanks to that rediculous amp choice...

  • dude im lookin for a les paul (gibson or epiphone) that sounds for stuff like maiden kiss zeppelin and metal sound so it has to be under 1000 dollars so which les paul do you recmommend me?

  • @MrLU2000 Buy a Gibson Les Paul Studio (used preferably). Great tone and sustain at a great price. Or, go get a Epiphone classic or anything really and put some Seymour Duncan AlNico wound pickups in it. Oh, and change the pots too sometimes there not so good on those Epiphones.

  • i LOVE mini humbuckers

  • Whats that song he's playing in the begining?

  • @gfvbd Sounds like just improvisation to me with a bunch of power chords added together. I don't think david actually was thinkin about playin a song at that moment. lol

  • @Dmpublishing oh ok, i know ive heard that riff from before.

  • I had to shut this shit off. This guy is a fucking cock dick.

  • All the haters just wish they had this rig lmao...... Make your own video and show us better........(I think not)

  • @nhunter333 I wouldn't wish a Line 6 amp upon my worst enemy.

  • What was that muddy noise you were making before you started speaking you tosser? All standards have trapezoids mate!

  • pickups loook tiiiny

  • can you do metal riffs on this guitar?

  • @ricksvidsinc duh....

  • use a marshall at least!! omg, Goldtop throug a spider 1, what a shame :(

  • @ladoz666 do youre review lets see how perfect it is

  • @tomas6262 at least i would use the gear the guitar deserve... great guitar & sucky shredder amp is just pathetic, and so are you cause you obviously dont understand that...

  • gimme a test with a marshal man, that spider sux!

  • i wonder could i fit 4 mini humbuckers on my les paul

  • @minihendrix100 Don't do it. It will be exactly like having 2 humbuckers or(burstbuckers) on your guitar(sound results). So don't waste your money on pickups.

    -RockHardGNR.

  • can you like not use a shit ton of distortion?

  • where the hell does he see green in that "goldish" colour?

  • maan what a guitar, mini humbuckers and really faat sound, awesome

  • It would be helpful, when you guys are reviewing guitars, to play them through the same amp. I've seen you review the Epiphone Les Paul through a Mesa Boogie, a Glen Burton LP copy through a fender, and now a Gibson through a Line 6

  • well, gibsons and marshall's are like brothers

  • seriously, love this guy, but dude, use a tube amp, even a cheap fender super champ, on clean channel....would be helpful to those of use who'd like to really see what this guitar sounds like by itself.

  • TRADEMARK LES PAUL SOUND?!?!?!?! Dude take the wax out of your ears!!!!! That my friend is a trademark Ibanez sound.

  • @brickwall595 Wanna explain to me how you distinguish the two? On a Spider it'd sound the same anyway. Quit being an elitist faggot.

  • @YoWassupMang my settlements exactly, who the fuck uses a les paul to get a dumb fuck "Insane" sound. Thats what shredder guitars are for (Ibanez). And for this reason I debate the quote "Trademark Les Paul Sound". Oh and just for the record I am niether an eltist or homosexual. (not that theres anything wrong with that).

  • SUSTAIN FOR DAYS, NIGEL!

    He's a great guy. XD

  • its tone is the worst of youtube. you get any shit with this guitar sound pod xt.

  • the way he said, "lez" pauls cracked me up

  • dude are you rich or something? btw love you guitar!!!

  • This (taps pickup three times) Bridge pickup

  • pretty sure thats not the pete towshend signature guitar.

  • @TheRealErob read the description and itll tell ya

  • You know what would be cool... 4 minis on one guitar

  • Gibson stoped producing slash goldtop?plz reply

  • @Master25545 It was a limited edition.

  • @Master25545 no....they were limited edition...they only made a thousand of each (Gibson and Epiphone)

  • im pretty sure most studios and standards have trapezoid inlays

  • Any recomendations for a cheaper tuber amp for hard rock tones?

  • @SH4RK136 VOX VT15?

  • AWESOME GUITAR BUT IAM SURE IT COST MORE THEN A KIDNEY

  • Wow that's Josh Bradford's same guitar

  • why the hell do these brainless idiots always have to use overdrives and all sorts of other crap when they are supposedly reviewing these instruments.just plug the damn thing in and let us hear the true tone of the guitar.

  • @music8stuart every guitar sounds exactly the same to me with distortion.

  • @jgk381 Thats the point I'm trying to make.this idiot david taub,along with countless others of the same brainless ilk,fancy's himself as a bit of an ace guitar head..........if knew ANYTHING.......he'd know that line 6 junk is hiding the true tone of the instrument............but.....­......he does'nt know anything......does he.....

  • @music8stuart

  • marty's beter

  • Comment removed

  • god i thought the the smaller the softer, but i was wrong! (the humbuckers)

  • The comments about the amp are bang on. Turn off the distortion and we could actually hear how the guitar _sounds_.

  • Your the man, all day. Sustain!!!!

  • Your the man, all day.

  • Your camera sucks fat balls and so does Line 6. If you're going to do a decent review, use a decent amp. It sounds like every other guitar I have heard through a line 6.

  • You're reviewing a '92 Les Paul Goldtop Deluxe and you're playing it through what sounds like a Line6 Spider 1 with god knows how much distortion?!

    If you wish to show us the TONE and SOUND of the instrument, why don't you play it through a good, simple tube amp?

    I could just as well be listening to some cheap, pointy, EMG equipped metal guitar.

  • good guitar though

  • stop playing wut u think is fuckin music and give the god dammed review

  • get a decent amp FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @steverzilly lol got dusk tiger & BLACKSTAR AMP the best

  • i really hate this douche bag!! Stop giving his thumbs up! He doesnt know anything about guitars!

  • Take your ears out of your hat, douchebag... Oh, and while you're at it, turn the god damned thing around.

  • Evidently this guy doesn't know shit about Gibson guitars. First off, trapezoid inlays are in fact the Gibson "standard" inlays. The blocks are only on Les Paul Customs. Second, every time he sees a Gibson he says, "the tuners are probably Kluson. Kluson? Some type of Kluson..." As for his guitar tone - That Gibson probably sounds the same as a Squier Strat would with those settings. Turn down the damn gain.

  • i bid on one of these on ebay for 3 bucks and ima win in 6 days

  • Sorry, I closed the video as soon as I heard Line 6.

  • @lXlRIVERlXl Well done. :-)

  • This amp sounds like a wooofy FART!!!

  • The amp sounds like a LOUD FART!!!

  • that is a gorgeous ass guitar.

  • @RejectionsNation well.....if the gibson is in good condish take it ,in my opinion a les paul is like a pair of shoes,ther better when theyve been broken in!as for the amp it depends on what style of music you want to play(same for the guitar)

  • this entire video is a lie

  • I love this guitar!!!

  • "Its got these weird trapezoid inlays" lol wtf. and these weird tuners haha, dave cracks me up lol. I think he thought that a LP Custom is a LP standard cause it has block inlays. its like hes never seen what ever it is he is looking at and the moment

    Thumbs Up this if you think dave SHOULD NOT NOODLE on a Line 6

  • Purely awesome

  • Pete had three pick ups on his LPs. If it's really a model PT it should have those big numbers on the body, like Pete's and of course it should be played over 100 Watts Hiwatt amps to get Pete's sound

  • How dare you do that to a Gibson!!

  • Sounds like ass. Who in his right mind would review that kind of guitar by playing shitty power chords through a cheap practice amp?

  • stop hitting the fucking pickup dude. its annoying.

  • A great guitar, with a pathetic lousy and digital sounding amp....What a waste really...

  • does anybody have any idea how much a 1976 wine red gibson les paul deluxe w/ mini humbuckers would be worth? btw: they only made 14.

  • where can i get that guitar!!!

  • I love how the goldtops look different, in different light situations, with the light behind them they have a green gold tint, while direct light at the front gives them the bullion colour, and subdued lights give you in between the two etc etc. Lovely!

  • @moderndaydelilah93 i dindt talk a bout a fender and a gibson.

  • Line 6, every goddamn guitar would sound the same trough that amp ...

  • @HagusYoung

    line 6 pisses me off

  • @HagusYoung i love you so much for that comment

  • @HagusYoung Dude Im stupid

    it means its good? lol
