nice guitar bro im just asking does your guitar have the neutrik jack? and how does it work how do you take off the cable wire from the guitar when its locked?
its not a 2008 standard. in fact, its not even a standard...standards have "Standard" printed on the truss rod cover. this looks like a Traditional. dont try to correct me. i have a 2008 Standard
I bought my first Gibson from the original owner through an ad in the paper. A mint condition 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom (Tobacco Sunburst) with original case for $375. There is no feeling like getting your first quality instrument. Especially at such a price.
Wow... Man, that's even more beautiful than it looks on the Sweetwater picture gallery... Boy, what a gorgeous, fine-looking guitar, my absolute compliments to you, my friend! Upload some new videos from 2011! Just to check how the Gibby's doing, and also how have you grown up as a guitarist and an artist!
Congrats my friend. At the moment, I am playing a Studio. Would love to get a Gold Top, but those are a little too expensive for my small budget. Maybe Gibson will sponsor me and give me a couple. I bought my first real nice guitar when I was 16. Still have it, its a Fender Strat sunburst.
Congrats my friend. At the moment, I am playing a Studio. Would love to get a Gold Top, but those are a little too expensive for my small budget. Maybe Gibson will sponsor me and give me a couple.
That's a Standard it's just from the first half of 2008. Gibson changed things up half way thru the year and added the asymmetrical neck, the chambered body, different tuners, etc. The quickest way to tell is they added the word "Standard" back to the truss cover.
Nice guitar kiddo, but you gotta pay your dues and practice with that thing until your fingers bleed and you hit 10,000 hours of practice...Oh and start early on listening to and playing like Joe Bonamassa.
@informedcarpet - nice, I just got the same deal.. Are you getting the plek made one or early 2008 standard? if the plek... make sure it says standard on truss cover plate, locking 1/4 jack input, locking grovers ect.. there were 2 types in 2008.. obviously they are both great.. make sure that you check with the dealer it was purchased from for any problems.. if you are getting it used..
Just went to the kids page in HIGH HOPES he had put out an impressive (at least more than picking 3 power chords) video. I wasn't let down, this kid can play and I think he's a little older than I thought and it looked like there was a Strat in the background, all three of these things make me respect this guy. 1. Its not his first guitar. 2. He really CAN play 3. He learned and moved up to a nicer guitar. I think this is how its done, don't just put a 2,500 guitar in a childs hands.
The kid already disappeared from youtube 2 years ago. All the irrelevant, jealous comments aren't even being read by him. I think his old man bought him the gear because he can shred quite well.
He's probably out there playing his heart out and doesn't have time to waste here on youtube with all the bitchy comments! He's probably loving life rather than feeling sorry for himself like me. If i was 16 with chops like that I'd be doing ok. The musicality will come later with commitment and study.
@JeffersonDinedAlone People get jealous because most people in the world cannot afford to buy a top of the line Les Paul, and feel very down about it. It is made worse if they deem that the player, in their opinion, doesn't deserve the instrument because they aren't as good as they are. It's human nature.
@Happyhippiedude. What the fuck is wrong with you? Just because the kid has a Les Paul dosent mean he's a spoiled brat. Maybe his dad worked his fucking ass off so his son can persue his dream as a guitarist. You have no right saying shit like that. No right at all. Just cuz he has an expensive guitar and you dosent mean you can get so harsh and ignorant.
@happyhippiedude Probably or no probably , you shouldnt say shit like that to a little kid. Why the fuck do you care if he has a les paul or not? why do you care for the reason? dont be a ignorant dumbshit.
@blindredpride No your a bitch for saying that. His first guitar is a fucking les paul that I played around 1,000 shows and went through about 100 guitars before I got and my family are professional musicians! He will never be good and will damn sure NEVER EVER respect that guitar to the level it should be. It will be broken or hocked up in 3 years for weed.
@BayouBluesMan ummmmmm, no its pretty much a fact, do you understand how many guitars like this by this point I have bought directly or second hand from kids just like this. They turn 14 and decide they want to play guitar like they're favorite musician, the problem is they want it like they wanted the les paul= Something for nothing, sooooo in when he hasn't learned even a song in 4 weeks it goes into the case, after another month or two its under the bed, then its at a used guitar store.
@willeng84 yeah that's the majority but still even if it ends up on a guitar shop it's one more better deal for u, if he plays it good for him, if he stores it in a closet good for his future kid ,cousin, grandson , u catch my drift? if u buy a guitar no one loses, everyone might gain something, 10 times better than spending money on meaningless things that don't touch the soul. I was serving tables for a year to get my strat still if i had a rich dad all the better for me
@BayouBluesMan But my point is this do you understand how much more that strat means to you then to someone just handed a Les Paul? I promise it means 1000 times more, and your wrong b/c when you buy kids expensive things shit gets broken. Mine is 5 or 6 years old and literally if someone touches the Laquer over the beautiful desert burst I wig out on them, like wig the fuck out, "don't touch my guitar, its worth more than your life to me" thats shit I say. If you earn it you will respect it.
a kid doesn't have the money to get a les paul but still the earliest u start playing the better so only by that u buy the kid the guitar and if indeed the thing gets broken then no more expensive presents
@BayouBluesMan Thats like saying give a 16 year old a BMW and see what happens, you know that right. Its that same idea as getting a kid a decent first car so he doesn't beat something beautiful ( Les Paul) to shit b/c its GONNA HAPPEN. I started out with a Mexican strat that I bought in 8th grade with the Savings bonds I won from being smart and winning 3rd place in the City at the Science fair. I earned it, and worked my way up. Nothing wrong with a Mex Strat, put a humbucker in it.
u probably are some spoiled brat whos dad went out and bought him a les paul for his first guitar and u look very small do u know how fat the neck of a les paul is i would know i have sevaral and most likely unlike u i bought them all by working my fingers to the bone to buy them
dude i bet you don't desrve it, that probabily was you FIRST guitar, because you did't look that exited, a real guitarist would be neeled when he saw his new guitar
I keep telling you people, buy used. Go private. My Gibson Roy Smeck Radio Grande Hawaiian steel acoustic with original case I bought at a house sale. Just lying in a room corner with a ton of other items stacked up everywhere. Current value? $19,000. My cost? 40 dollars.
Okay, so you bought a product. Why the hell would you waste your time, or anyone else's, making and posting an utterly worthless video about it? Who on earth would care? At all? Oh, by the way, I bought my mint condition 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom (Tobacco Sunburst) from the original owner through a newspaper ad for $375. If you paid a new price in a shop, you got REAMED. So, every time you take it out of the case, remember to tell yourself, "I got REAMED", before you begin to play.
Nice guitar!! You have a very nice Standard there. Gibson didnt change to the "new" style of Standard til aug 1, 2008...and by your serial #, your guitar was made on the 93rd day of 2008...well before the new appointments were implemented. Hopefully you got a good deal on it...enjoy!!
Now that's what i call a..WASTE of hella good guitar. I don't really give a crap about gibson and little punks with no skills who buy them... i play Dean USA... but anyway.. kid, can you really handle that thing? Being weak and skinny like you are is not a good thing when you own a Gibson.
@ThePanteraTribute I'm actually a pretty thin guy and short, maybe not the most fit. But I LOVE the heavy weight, of a les paul. It reminds me that I'm playing a king.
@Stevespeeze Personally, with a collection numbering over 300 instruments, you should have looked privately; infinitely better prices. Newspaper ads, house sales, flea markets, etc. For example, I picked up a 1972 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe from the original owner (Cherry Sunburst, mint condition) with original case for $550. I recently turned down an offer of $7,500 for it. You buy new in a shop, you're not only getting lesser quality, but you are also paying the shop's 50% mark-up cost.
@conoshmono12 I was ABOUT to like this coment because my train of tought was along the lines of yours, but then i thought JUST to make sure i don't stick my foot in my mouth im gonna go ahead and look if theres any video's of him playing...
I reccomend you do the same,
theres no god damn way im liking your comment after a wall of this kid shredding reached out and slapped me in the face.
@jordanbeaulieu thanks for the comment :) im the guy in the video :P i was 13 when i did that video!:P im gonna send more videos on my other channel if you wanna see tem!:)
Wasnt sure about the plek, i never owned the lower standard model. I had a Classic plus i think was the cheapest one i bought. A tech i know says you can still send an older gibson to a shop with a plek setup and have it done but not sure the cost.
@zaggazoom Newer ones do not come with a standard label on the truss rod cover, I have an 07 exactly like this I bought brand new. I actually like it compared to the 08's because its not hollowed out the same way. The newer ones are chambered to relieve weight whereas before they would just swiss cheese a few holes.
@zaggazoom That is 100% a standard. They haven't come with the plate in a minute. I bought mine directly from Gibson Nashville, I got the pre chambered standard which was before 2006 and it doesn't have the standard on it, nor did the ones I have seen before that.
@zaggazoom You have 27 thumbs up to something thats not true. I don't fucking know where you get the idea that standards all say standard on the name plate but NONE OF THEM DO. Maybe like some early 90's throw back but when I was shopping for mine a few years back none of them did, not the older ones and damn sure not the newer ones so...... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! I don't think a kid should get a guitar that expensive but its the real thing. I got the Darker one in this video, Desert burst.
@willeng84 Standard appears on the trust rod cover for all models back in the day. Not sure when it was dropped, but I own a couple of dozen models pre-1985, and they all do.
@JeffersonDinedAlone I meant new ones. I even said I don't know where you get the idea ALL standards say that...... I was saying the newer ones for a fact do not but yes I agree and definitely know that earlier models did come equipped with it.
@zaggazoom hi im the guy on the video:P i have the discontinued les paul iced tea. ive waited 2 months to have the guitar because they could not find the older les pauls.
@jay666gibson Ahh thats what I suspected, nice looking guitar ya got there. I've got the newer 2008 edition in Desertburst, I honestly wish it didn't have the Neutrik locking jack, I'm scared if i trip over the cord it'll snatch the jack right out of the guitar.
@zaggazoom It's very likely that this guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Standard that happened to be manufactured in 2008 and did not have the locking features, not to be confused with the "Gibson 2008 Les Paul" which is still being manufactured today, two different guitars.
The "Gibson 2008 Les Paul" does have 'Standard' labelled on the truss rod cover.
That's a Standard it's just from the first half of 2008. Gibson changed things up half way thru the year and added the asymmetrical neck, the chambered body, different tuners, etc. The quickest way to tell is they added the word "Standard" back to the truss cover.
@zaggazoom its the last run of the unchambered standards.if it was a trad it would have speed knobs pleck sticker on bridge pup. tradicional on truss rod cover. and so. on.check out his serial nomber a.3.29.with gibson stop hateing on a young kid its sad. 40 people are epiphone fans.
@MsChrissummerfield serial number does not mean anything. I have a Chinese standard, and when I check the serial number on the guitar dater, says it was made in the USA 2008. I, of course, have and Gibson USA 2008.
btw..where is standard label plates?? standard from 2008 have still machine heads whit locking sistem..... Quick-Connect Control Pocket Assembly, Locking Neutrik Jack. ......PLEK set-up.......u have tradicional or something else ...that is not standard...
i have standard 2008.machine heads is very bad i hade to change original one..but a pay my 1400euro brand new. standard from 70' -80' is ten times better...
Nice guitar. I just bought one. You can see me play it. Just go to my channel. It is just a small demo clip. I am setting up a studio an will have some full length vids shortly.
@SiKxBlAzEr I have two; a Cherry, and a Walnut. Both are for sale. If interested, let me know. But be prepared to part with a wheelbarrow full of dead presidents.
@TheF86Sabre How do you know it was handed to him? How do you know he hasn't been cutting lawns and delivering newspapers for the past three years to get that guitar?
@murfdog19 Educated guess, take the kids age , Times the amount of lawns he would have to cut...right ...now the kids forty....daddy is holding the camera!
@TheF86Sabre Well, two lawns a day at $20 a piece, four days a week for two and a half months each summer would buy him the Les Paul-and them some-in just two summers!
nice guitar bro im just asking does your guitar have the neutrik jack? and how does it work how do you take off the cable wire from the guitar when its locked?

@Stevespeeze Personally, with a collection numbering over 300 instruments, you should have looked privately; infinitely better prices. Newspaper ads, house sales, flea markets, etc. For example, I picked up a 1972 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe from the original owner (Cherry Sunburst, mint condition) with original case for $550. I recently turned down an offer of $7,500 for it. You buy new in a shop, you're not only getting lesser quality, but you are also paying the shop's 50% mark-up cost.

I like the finish on this guitar though. The pick guard is in the case when you buy it.
Good guitar for a young one to start on

@zaggazoom
Wasnt sure about the plek, i never owned the lower standard model. I had a Classic plus i think was the cheapest one i bought. A tech i know says you can still send an older gibson to a shop with a plek setup and have it done but not sure the cost.
My Supreme needs it.

@zaggazoom Newer ones do not come with a standard label on the truss rod cover, I have an 07 exactly like this I bought brand new. I actually like it compared to the 08's because its not hollowed out the same way. The newer ones are chambered to relieve weight whereas before they would just swiss cheese a few holes.
willeng84 1 year ago
@zaggazoom That is 100% a standard. They haven't come with the plate in a minute. I bought mine directly from Gibson Nashville, I got the pre chambered standard which was before 2006 and it doesn't have the standard on it, nor did the ones I have seen before that.
willeng84 1 year ago
@zaggazoom You have 27 thumbs up to something thats not true. I don't fucking know where you get the idea that standards all say standard on the name plate but NONE OF THEM DO. Maybe like some early 90's throw back but when I was shopping for mine a few years back none of them did, not the older ones and damn sure not the newer ones so...... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! I don't think a kid should get a guitar that expensive but its the real thing. I got the Darker one in this video, Desert burst.
willeng84 1 year ago
@willeng84 Standard appears on the trust rod cover for all models back in the day. Not sure when it was dropped, but I own a couple of dozen models pre-1985, and they all do.

@JeffersonDinedAlone I meant new ones. I even said I don't know where you get the idea ALL standards say that...... I was saying the newer ones for a fact do not but yes I agree and definitely know that earlier models did come equipped with it.

@jay666gibson Ahh thats what I suspected, nice looking guitar ya got there. I've got the newer 2008 edition in Desertburst, I honestly wish it didn't have the Neutrik locking jack, I'm scared if i trip over the cord it'll snatch the jack right out of the guitar.

@zaggazoom It's very likely that this guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Standard that happened to be manufactured in 2008 and did not have the locking features, not to be confused with the "Gibson 2008 Les Paul" which is still being manufactured today, two different guitars.
The "Gibson 2008 Les Paul" does have 'Standard' labelled on the truss rod cover.
Orvi11e 9 months ago
That's a Standard it's just from the first half of 2008. Gibson changed things up half way thru the year and added the asymmetrical neck, the chambered body, different tuners, etc. The quickest way to tell is they added the word "Standard" back to the truss cover.
shotguncomedy 9 months ago
@zaggazoom its the last run of the unchambered standards.if it was a trad it would have speed knobs pleck sticker on bridge pup. tradicional on truss rod cover. and so. on.check out his serial nomber a.3.29.with gibson stop hateing on a young kid its sad. 40 people are epiphone fans.

@MsChrissummerfield serial number does not mean anything. I have a Chinese standard, and when I check the serial number on the guitar dater, says it was made in the USA 2008. I, of course, have and Gibson USA 2008.
