hey, how did you get the special with a bound neck? all the ones i see have an unbound neck. i was in GC the other day and i fell in love with a Gibson Les Paul special with dual P-90s for $999. it had the bound neck and the rose-style tuners. i got home and looked it up but couldnt find it online. i was really bummed.
Even if i prefer brown's tremolo, i love small 50's fender tweeds especially when cranked , did you post a demo of this baby "on the edge" or more? without any OD pedal .
is it a 5E11 or 5F11 circuit ? with the original P10R ?
How do it growl with the P90s ? ! I believe that it is awesome.
I love the range of sounds you get from one amp/effect setting. The single tailpiece makes the strings slack and gives a lot of character to the sound. I have a double-cut studio which is ver similar to you guitar. Its not dialed in as well as you are just yet. =) Thanks for sharing. What gauge are you using? I'm up to 12's because I'm used to more string tension.
Very nice vid. Is that TV Yellow? Looks white in the vid. I have a red '96 DC Special and I adore it. Not Custom Shop, but it's a nice instrument. It has the T-O-M bridge with a Vibramate and a Bigsby.
@GregsGuitars how would you compare the p90s here to custom shop p90s. Like is it hotter than custom shop or is it a little muddy. I found the custom shops a little more trebly but my ears could be wrong. I love the finish on this guitar though. To me pickups were 2nd most important to me after the neck so please tell us the pickup comparison between the two guitars.
@86shay86 In fact I've also a recent Special (marked "Model" on the neck?!!), with th e same pick ups but I think in the beginning , early 60's, there was P100, not P90 p-u like the Junior. Am I right, and what's the difference btw both model? I love the double cut Junior and Special, so fine, so elegant, so rounded!
Hi Greg. Hesitating between Custom Shop Les Paul Special and vintage Les Paul Special (like a '59). Beyond the obvious cool factor, is the price difference really justified? What about putting an original vintage P90 on a new LP special?
I would really benefit from your large experience in trying hundreds of guitars. Thanks
i can notice that you jam often on this backing track, correct me if I'm wrong, it's blue jean blues, nice jam, nice guitar too

@UprisingRomans121 It's from the Custom Shop, maybe that's why there's a binding

Hallo Greg
könntest du ein paar Worte über das Akai Headrush verlieren?
Bezüglich Delayqualität und Verwendbarkeit der Loop-Funktion?
Wäre super nett da eine Expertenmeinung zu bekommen
