Gibson Les Paul Classic Sounds

[trevwagner094]

im poor so i can only afford epiphones but my epiphone honestly sounds just as good as this through my line 6

[greensp4rk]

@trevwagner094 every guitar sounds the same on a line 6...

[trevwagner094]

@greensp4rk wrong, clean channel + decent pedal = good sound that isnt line 6

[greensp4rk]

@trevwagner094 yes, but that defeats the purpose of a modelling amp in the first place...

[TheGoldenGoliath23]

is it me or is that les paul missing the b/a stings?

[RcFenders]

@TheGoldenGoliath23

you can see them at 0:40

[Johngtr13]

I was hoping to judge the guitar by listening to a "clean sound".

[GraemeSPa]

there's something lovely about a Les Paul. In my band I use botht a US Std Strat and Les Paul VOS 57 and they both have unique voices. The only thing I don't like about the Les Paul is that it weighs a ton. I gotta get my video camera set up and upload some of my own stuff.

[ubad00d]

Seriousely, what's bloody wrong with people???

You could easily move the camera left so we can see your fretting hand, WHY BLOODY NOT.

[jaffabend]

If it helps... I asked a luthier (guitar doctor) about this when I bought my LP Standard. He said that quite a few people used to remove the metal pickup cover thinking that the metal somehow dulled the magnetic response from the string. The metal covers were originally nickel though so it shouldn't make any difference. Seeing the trend people then removed the covers as it looked more R&R. After that the bear look stayed for 3rd party pickup manufacturers.

[nhoodfan]

how much do classic cost?

[fedorap97]

on gibsobs web-site 8000 dollars

but thats crowded

coz i have seen by my own about 4000

[darkredX13]

cool licks

[Aboodikillakali]

why is the classic less expensive than the standard? what pick ups does the standard have and what is better the standard or classic"?

[TROGGGGI]

lame

[mattchurchill2]

Nice tone

[Ljosalfr]

your inlays dont seem to be snot green. I envy you

[Coppertunes]

The original Classics from the 90's had standard coloured inlays.

Why Gibson changed them to that urine colour that you get these days amazes me

[Noseheros]

It amazes me but I know why they did it; to pay homage to the original CLASSIC Les Paul, the original '52 was a gold top, aka "urine Colour" lol I prefer the one in this video too its so awesome!

[resortesdelinfierno]

you crazy? you changed the original humbuckers by a zebras ones?¿ oh my god

[fuzzdemon]

Is like buying a rolls royce and sticking a ford escort engine in it.

[StuRaz]

That's a stupid thing to say isn't it? You can't possibly judge the quality of a pickup going by the colour, do you know anything about electric guitars? Granted it doesn't look quite as good but looks have nothing to do with the overall quality or tone.

[fuzzdemon]

I was saying that its crazy to replace the original gibson pickups with these cheaper ones, nothing to do with colour or looks.

[StuRaz]

How do you know they're cheaper? Do you know what pickup is installed? Lots of artists replace the pickups in their guitars to try and achieve their desired sound, price doesn't directly translate to quality all the time.

[fuzzdemon]

I looked them up. If he likes them in his Gibson that's fine but its sacrilege to me. If it was an Ibanez or if you had 10 Les Pauls then fine but I could only afford 1 Les Paul and I would dream of changing it.

[StuRaz]

How can you know what pickups they are from looking them up? Many pickups are available with the same finish. I understand if you would like to keep your Gibson 100% stock, there's nothing wrong with that. However you can't say that the the Slash Signature Les Paul (for example) is in some way of low quality and cheap components. Slash and Pete Townsend both have Les Pauls with Zebra pickups in them and they both sound great to me, although I wouldn't like zebra pickups for the look, not quality

[nathancazeneuve]

congratulations !

[wern1440]

you have a really good finger style technique

[dvdsmlprstylr]

I love the bold sound of it. I so wish I could play. I'll just have to sit back, relax and enjoy the sweet music for now.

Thanks m8 for sharin the music.

[dan0608iel]

Very good the video, congratulations

[bluesforceband]

Wow!!

[noangels]

Great looking axe,and nice bluesy playing

[tatzor]

love the sound! :) can't belive it only has 3 stars:O 5/5 love that sound

[GreyStrat]

The Gibson Les Paul Classic has a solid body, open humbuckers and a 1960 slim profile neck

Mine is a 1993 Honeyburst with an out of hidden phase switch linked to the tone control

The pickguard has 1960 etched in gold and the truss rod cover has the word CLASSIC, again in gold

[ak477394]

I got a Gibson Les Paul copy made by Rally

its really good

it has two covered humbuckers and volume and tone settings for both pickups

[lukeschennFTW]

i heard a classic is just a studio with more cosmetics not a solid body. am i right?

[edgemad]

The sound is very poor whith that cheap mike on the video camera. Your guitar sounds cheap!

[GreyStrat]

A 12-year old Fender Performer 650

Had it from new

Suits both my Strat, Tele and Les Pauls

I have a 20-Watt Marshall Studio amp but the Fender 650 leaves it for dead

[henkguitar123]

20-watt thats weak...

[GreyStrat]

I do use a pick occasionally

I saw Mark Knopfler live with Dire Straits in France some years back, when Love Over Gold was just released and was wowed by his right hand finger techniques

[SoloBen247]

plus for blues the finger pluckin just sounds better sometimes

[kyleshut]

i love les pauls my fave guitar ever but im going for the sg standard to save money because i cant afford the les paul :(

[TheCeimertz]

why arent u using a pick?

[PALM992]

That sounds good man! What amp are you using?

[rymeryme]

you can have an insane amount of drive and distortion on a les paul and it would sound amazing!!

you could have just the clean sound and it would sound like heaven

[GreyStrat]

Individual Les Pauls are surprisingly variable

I have a great LP Classic, a smooth sounding LP Standard and GreySrat - a 1991 USA Strat Plus Deluxe

With a Marshall studio amp and a Fender Perfomer 650, so I am lucky enough to have good combinations of sound

[stringslayer]

I played this guitar in my music shop on a marshall mG30DFX, and it sounded crap to me, nothing my strat cant do, and in no way am i a fan boy of fender or whatever, it just didnt sound like a les paul should do to me.

Perhaps it was the amp, at home i have an MG100DFX and its bloody nice with the strat, i just dont know :/ maybe i should try a les paul standard...

[JilaX]

Maybe you shouldn't use a shitty amp ;)

[truckerD007]

if u got rid of the pick guard it looks like slashes goldtop signiture

[BluesorLooseRnR]

does anyone know if this guitar is good for getting def leppard sort of sounds...or any hair metal and stuff like that..or is it more of a bluesy sounding guitar???SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER

[firstgearlead]

its a gibson les paul, it'll do anything and i mean literally anything from jazz to black metal.

[Marcoshary]

I think this is not honeyburst finish. Seems more like gold top. What zebra pups u put in the bridge?

[PrettyPrinceOparties]

yah, it seems like the copper or bullion gold.

[DrakCorpInc]

honeyburst. positive on that.

[PrettyPrinceOparties]

oh, now i see.

[EuropeFactor]

Good tone, but put some Gibson P94 pickups in it - it'll sound a hundred times better...

[darkrreaver]

Hmmm... I love the Les Paul on a clear channel, but it sounds so great with distortion... It seems perfect. Good playing.

[1luvcrick3t]

looks like only three strings at first LOL

[ftele]

~NIce jam...love that sound...~~

[bakernade]

okay nvm i just read the description. sorry.

[bakernade]

is that a bullion gold classic ?

[SoloNetherlands]

i think an classic antique honey burst

[GreyStrat]

Sure ... Pure cosmetics ... was going to sell the original on eBay but never got round to it !

[HenfieldWill]

Ah - I remember you playing my LP all those years ago - THAT'S when you got re-bitten by the electric bug. And it's paid off! :-)

[jpatrickgreen]

What bridge PU are you using?

[GreyStrat]

It's a genuine Gibson 500T "Super Ceramic" Humbucker - Zebra

I still have the black original

[plechatam]

wait, you replaced the stock pickup with the exact same thing??
