My Signature Series Gibson Les Paul Jr/Special (like Maestro & Epiphone) Demo

Here's a cool Signature Series guitar by Gibson for you to check out. You didn't seriously think I had my own Gibson model did you? This is essentially a Gibson Les Paul Junior style guitar with a single humbucker and a wrap around bridge/tailpiece (what Epiphone calls a Special these days...), but for some reason they don't use the Epiphone name...maybe so they can sell them at Sam's Club or Best Buy without Guitarget getting pissed off or something like that. Same setup as usual...plugged straight into my Fender Super Sonic amp with a 2x12 Avatar cab & all Hellatone 30 speakers. No effects besides the built tube gain/distortion...still unrehearsed jamming/talking & explaining...pointing out features and flaws/dings/dents...still fun! If I forgot anything, just ask...
Thanks for watching and feel free to rate it and leave comments!

I have one of these, been playing it in drop C... Seems alright to me, I'm thinking about just decking it out and really keeping it as a first guitar for metal stuff. Any ideas, comments or suggestions?

[greengtrs]

@mattspeakslove It isn't really worth anything to sell it so keep it as a kick around, back up guitar...maybe for different or drop tunings, etc. Put a good pickup (and electronics...pots/jack) and a good nut and it could go a long way...and you wouldn't have to worry about it getting beat up...it could be the one you throw to your stage hand from across the stage (lol)...

Idk y but I prefer stratocaster over les paul idk its just that les paul strings are harder to press than stratocaster strings just saying

[greengtrs]

@juicyjoe97 I love Strats...they are still my favorite guitars...I do use a PRS most of the time, but I love Strats and nothing else sounds and feels just like them...but I think it's a case of you playing Epi's or Gibson's that weren't set up well because if they are set up equally well with identical strings, the Gibson will be easier to play...especially to bend notes/strings on...just saying...have a Happy New Year and thanks for watching!

[mattspeakslove]

@greengtrs Haha thanks for the suggestions! We're playing metal anyways so it's alright to sound and look a bit thrashy :) Kudos on the vid!

I'm not trying to be a feel sorry for me kid, but, I've always wanted a Gibson. I play guitar myself and I dream of owning a Gibson. I wanted to know if you had a Gibson you didn't want and were willing to give away. Thanks. By the way, you play really good!

@Ohwow979 Sometimes you need to route out some extra wood as some pickups are thicker than others and sit deeper but most should work with minimal fuss....

[Ohwow979]

@greengtrs ok so my question is can you use any type of humbucker in that? like those chrome solid block ones?

[greengtrs]

@flamingRose100 I would start with a good pickup...I love P-90's but I would probably just stick with a humbucker (or maybe a humbucker sized P-90) so you don't have to re-size the pickup hole...some good pots would be good too...then the nut (Graphtech Tusq XL), then maybe some better tuners...and finally the bridge...good luck!

[flamingRose100]

i have this guitar as my first and i want to know some good up grades i herd putting a p-90 puck up is a good upgrade anything elss that would be good on this
