I dont want to put a damper on this, mate! your guitar playing is great, but Gibson should take a look at getting some better Mahogany for their guitars. The guitar sounds like its being played in a puddle of mud!. Somebody at Gibson pleaseTake a look at this video for reference. "Gary Moore Still got the Blues Budda Superdrive 30" and get this fixed.
Love the sound of your guitar I have 57 classics in my epi les paul it plays and sounds like a 1000 dollar gibson and only have about 780 dollars in it. Anyhoo rock on and pece out
i was thinking of getting a Gibson Les Paul, i play blues, rock, and a little metal. what amp do you think would be worthy of the Les Paul? oh and what Les paul is good for me? my price range for the guitar is around $2,500, and the amp around $500+
@TasteForDisaster That would be a '59 reissue with a secondhand Cornford JTM45 copy. Better to go $1,000 on the amp and find a used guitar that is nicely played-in.
Give me the best pork chops in town!!!! And a Diet Coke!!! My bad. I enjoy and appreciate your playing very much. But for now, let's just not talk about religion, politics or guitars. I feel heartburn and had to pop one of my eyes back to its socket due to (all of the sudden) high blood pressure while reading the title of your video. I took a walk, did some Yoga and feel better now. Everything's back to normal and I have re-gained my posture.
@jessyka89music Seriously? They would have been the classic 57s or the Burstbuckers depending on year right? I do love 57s (i find burstbuckers too brittle) but Bareknucles just have a more open, defined sound that really lets the wood of the reissue shine through. Or at least i think so.

@RTLippy I realize it's a RI. And, while they are different, I wouldn't say they're COMPLETELY different. The real ones just have a touch more of that magical mojo. But hell, if I managed to save up enough to buy a $5000 59 re-issue, I can't think of anything out there within a grand or two that's any better....
@danakerman i mean i understand where u are coming from but the feel is just different... they were made different back then... u may get a similar sound but nothing will compare to the real thing...
I'm in the position of choosing a 50th anniversary 1960 Standard Les Paul vs. a 1959 VOS Standard Les Paul. Which one would you guys choose, and why?
the best cleans i've ever heard were from a solid-state amp. no joke. and i'm a tube devotee. those edge of breakup sounds is where the line is drawn. but a lot has to do with your fingers, and you're a great player. tube amps sound pretty bad behind the wrong fingers.
Something about the 59 that I think is adequately recreated even in reissues is that indescribable, extra ringing harmonic sound on the edge of hearing that comes from the hot wound pickups and solid maple top. Sounds great through most amps, but pretty amazing through that one.
I've searched your comments, but can't find the answer. ..what Bare Knuckle Pickups are those. They are very PAF-like. Are they custom winds? If so, closest to what model BKP? What did you tell Tim to do? Are these for sale?
Lmao... Hey man, sorry about that, I thought you meant pounds as in weight... Not sure how much money that translates to here in the US, but I hear deals do come up quite often if you keep your eye on these beauties.
which BK pick up would you suggest for fairly heavy distortion but playing in styles such as radiohead, bloc party etc. or if not BK then which pick ups would be good? im putting them into a fender tele. thanks x
Hello! i have this buzz sound under my pickups, and im not so experienced with guitars, so i just want to be sure that it's save to remove them quick just to have a look underneath.
r u sure its not just the strings hitting the fret bars? 'cuz thats happened too me before. i solved it by rubbing carbon shavings *crushed from a pencil's lead* and put it under the rise at the end of the headstock. where the fretboard begins
yep, im sure of that... took i to the store 2 days ago, they said that they could fix it, and that my guitar could get alot better. there were some problems that i didn't even know of :)
Very nice. I love BK pickups...but not as much as I love a Les Paul. Those chops (which are very good) would sound stunning through a Cornford or Divided by 13 with a hint of delay from a T-Rex. Just my 2p worth.
luckycat isn't to bright are ya? U are so wrong in everything U typed.... btw J Page used Fenders Teles a Lot, and the paul he used live had coil splitter and phase switching.... and SRV would make crap sound awesome.... it is in your 'Fingers', n dynamics... to pull certains tones out... hadg
your both right in a way, Certain aspects of tone come from your fingers, and jimmy page played tele's for the first year or so of zep and made the switch to the lp the only other time i've seen him use fenders would be for "in the evening" with the strat. But Honestly no matter who is playing it a Strat will not sound like a Les paul, thats not put either guitar down, but SRV would not get that signature throaty punchy sound from a Les paul. But yes the best players make anything sound great.
Yeah, a great deal of your sound comes from the way you pick. Noremac is right when he says you're both right in a way. SRV couldnt have gotten that throaty punch from a les, but it was the way he picked that really brought the tone of the strat out. His use of string rakes and picking muted strings just prior to playing a note was so signature to his sound. Steve Gaines of Lynyrd Skynyrd did the same: On the song I know a little, it was his attack and the strat that brought it all together
hi if you love les pauls and any classic guitars then check this out... a live 1959 les paul sunburst being auctioned from london... check my page for the link... thanks
I really hear a Jeff Healey/Albert King influence. I can't believe how good those Bareknuckles sound with that MG. I've played some guy's MG once, and it was just fucking terrible.
would a epiphone guitar be good if it had carved maple top solid mahogany back aged nickelhardware and bound rosewood fretboard bound. would that be a good LP?
All epiphone LPs products, except for the special LPs, use the same factory pickups except for some special models which have EMGs. So yes, all epiphone guitars are good quality but you really only start looking at the difference in timbers once you get up to the gibsons
Well really, the pickups, the neck, the wood, the electronics and the hardware and yes also the name.
There is a noticble difference between a Gibson lp custom and an epiphone lp custom especially on a clean channel. But epiphone are still a perfect brand that suits the needs of many players on a budget :)
Depends on what style you play and if you use pedals or not. Nothing can beat a good tube amp but the only downside is that you have to get serviced every 12 months or so which can cost a bit, but a good modelling amp like a line 6 spider works and sounds just as good and not to mention they're alot more fun to play around with. Ive got a vox valvetronix modelling amp and its so much fun so id say go for something like a line 6 spider :)
all this discussion of terms i dont even understand....makes me not wanna play guitar anymore lol. or just stick with a freaking acoustic. is buying good electric guitar parts a major in college? it should be. feels like you could fill a textbook with this stuff.
I dont even know what most of the terms mean, who gives a fuck what saturated gain is or what 12AX7 tubes I should power my VOX amp with, if it sounds good then use it. You only really need to know what this stuff means if you hang around with beard stroking musos with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things music.
lol beard stroking musos. man all i want is a guitar that i can play unplugged and still have it sound as attractive as good music should. can you do me a favor? could you take a peek at my video and tell me-does my guitar sound kind of strange or is it just my imagination?
The important part is playing bro. Tone is 90% in the fingers. Find a guitar you like and play it. I have three I love and one thats a project that I use to swap and change and fuck around with new PUPs. Just play!
lol of course notes are critical. but i imagine playing is a lot more fun if you actually enjoy the sound of a note being played on the guitar. i guess i will just look forward to the day i can get a more fitting guitar. for now, my sister's pink acoustic will have to do.
its not notes, its tone. The tone you create from your fingers. You listen to your friends play guitar and all the famous guitar players, they all sound different. Thats because tone is in your fingers. It doesnt matter how good your guitar is, if you understand what your playing, it will sound good.
you know i understand what you're talking about and kind of agree, but at the same time, your technique or fingers or whatever only really account for one, vibrato, and two the quality of sound. but a les paul sounds like a les paul no matter the player right? i dont expect to sound exactly like any particular player, and i dont want to, but the fact is, some guitars sound better. i know this for a fact, because of aforementioned acoustic my sister has. but you're right, people should learn....
Oh dont get me wrong, I agree that it is nice to play on a well made guitar. But I still sound like me on any guitar I play. Its not just vibrato you add. Its how hard you pick, how hard a pick you use, how hard you push your fingers into the strings and how you glide from one note to another. I have been playing for 15 years and I can pick up any guitar and make it sound good. When you get to that stage, thats when you should start your tone quest.
well you know, i'd swear im a pretty good guitarist(pay no mind to the videos they're obsolete) but i can never seem to make my guitar sound any better then mediorcre, except the most fluid chromatic slide ups and pre bended notes, or whatever you call them.
Tone is not in the fingers. That's called technique. Tone comes from the signal chain. That's why stevie ray chose Fender strats and Jimi Page chose Gibson. That's my we have so many makers of effects and amps and so on. if tone where in your fingers it would not matter what you played it would all the same. If you were to give stevie ray a crap guitar and a crap amp he would sound like a great guitar player playing a crap guitar thru a crap amp

would a epiphone guitar be good if it had carved maple top solid mahogany back aged nickelhardware and bound rosewood fretboard bound. would that be a good LP?

All epiphone LPs products, except for the special LPs, use the same factory pickups except for some special models which have EMGs. So yes, all epiphone guitars are good quality but you really only start looking at the difference in timbers once you get up to the gibsons

So really what are you paying for when you buy a Gibson?.
the name on the headstock?
aenima187 2 years ago
Well really, the pickups, the neck, the wood, the electronics and the hardware and yes also the name.
There is a noticble difference between a Gibson lp custom and an epiphone lp custom especially on a clean channel. But epiphone are still a perfect brand that suits the needs of many players on a budget :)

I will be going to my local music shop to try both of these guitars out, but now the only problem I have is what amp?
The faithful to rock Marshall amps
or the "too lazy to dial in their own tone musicians amp of choice" The line 6 spider 3...they have a spider 4 now though dont they.

Depends on what style you play and if you use pedals or not. Nothing can beat a good tube amp but the only downside is that you have to get serviced every 12 months or so which can cost a bit, but a good modelling amp like a line 6 spider works and sounds just as good and not to mention they're alot more fun to play around with. Ive got a vox valvetronix modelling amp and its so much fun so id say go for something like a line 6 spider :)

all this discussion of terms i dont even understand....makes me not wanna play guitar anymore lol. or just stick with a freaking acoustic. is buying good electric guitar parts a major in college? it should be. feels like you could fill a textbook with this stuff.

I dont even know what most of the terms mean, who gives a fuck what saturated gain is or what 12AX7 tubes I should power my VOX amp with, if it sounds good then use it. You only really need to know what this stuff means if you hang around with beard stroking musos with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things music.

lol beard stroking musos. man all i want is a guitar that i can play unplugged and still have it sound as attractive as good music should. can you do me a favor? could you take a peek at my video and tell me-does my guitar sound kind of strange or is it just my imagination?

The important part is playing bro. Tone is 90% in the fingers. Find a guitar you like and play it. I have three I love and one thats a project that I use to swap and change and fuck around with new PUPs. Just play!

lol of course notes are critical. but i imagine playing is a lot more fun if you actually enjoy the sound of a note being played on the guitar. i guess i will just look forward to the day i can get a more fitting guitar. for now, my sister's pink acoustic will have to do.

its not notes, its tone. The tone you create from your fingers. You listen to your friends play guitar and all the famous guitar players, they all sound different. Thats because tone is in your fingers. It doesnt matter how good your guitar is, if you understand what your playing, it will sound good.
christhekiwi12 2 years ago
you know i understand what you're talking about and kind of agree, but at the same time, your technique or fingers or whatever only really account for one, vibrato, and two the quality of sound. but a les paul sounds like a les paul no matter the player right? i dont expect to sound exactly like any particular player, and i dont want to, but the fact is, some guitars sound better. i know this for a fact, because of aforementioned acoustic my sister has. but you're right, people should learn....

Oh dont get me wrong, I agree that it is nice to play on a well made guitar. But I still sound like me on any guitar I play. Its not just vibrato you add. Its how hard you pick, how hard a pick you use, how hard you push your fingers into the strings and how you glide from one note to another. I have been playing for 15 years and I can pick up any guitar and make it sound good. When you get to that stage, thats when you should start your tone quest.
christhekiwi12 2 years ago
well you know, i'd swear im a pretty good guitarist(pay no mind to the videos they're obsolete) but i can never seem to make my guitar sound any better then mediorcre, except the most fluid chromatic slide ups and pre bended notes, or whatever you call them.

Tone is not in the fingers. That's called technique. Tone comes from the signal chain. That's why stevie ray chose Fender strats and Jimi Page chose Gibson. That's my we have so many makers of effects and amps and so on. if tone where in your fingers it would not matter what you played it would all the same. If you were to give stevie ray a crap guitar and a crap amp he would sound like a great guitar player playing a crap guitar thru a crap amp
