It probably feels a lot like holding onto wood

my cock is worth a million dollars and i hold that every day

honestly surprised this demo was done standing up. when I played a 59 they made me sit down and they walked up to me and handed me the guitar.

@@snapascrew so did you buy it?

He should be in a band like Bon Jovi or sumpthin’ , right?

@@tonybulmer6365does he sing in Bon Jovi?? I never watch their performances so I wouldn’t know

I imagine it would come in the original hard case

Ryan Thompson Guitarist it was a little sarcasm

it wasnt 900. It was 385

yep, well said

***** Of course you can because that's what you have been programmed to believe

if you really think that a 2013 crappy Les Paul Junior sounds better than an original 59 Les Paul, then there is no way to convince you that you're wrong. You are simply naive.

GLMusic I feel sorry sheep like you, actually I don't , Suckers like you deserve to get taken advantage of. Your money could be better spent by other people. And it's not a Les Paul Junior numbnuts it's an LPJ, but I Didn't expect a mindless sheep like you to know the difference. You only know what you have been told.

***** lol Why am I not surprised, a noob like wouldn't have a clue?

Snake Plissken well yes, you are right about the name. I dont know what LPJ means, but it doesnt mean Les Paul Junior. But I've listened to demos etc, and no, this LPJ can't be compared to a 59 Les Paul. In fact no Gibson guitar can be compared to that simply because that's when Gibson hit their peak. And they say so themselves. It's not a conspiracy, it's just the perfect Gibson Guitar, just accept it. Oh and by the way, you are the fool cause you spent more than 750$ on your IKEA coloured LPJ(with mediocre pickups) , while I spent less than 600$ on my 2008 used Les Paul Studio. Now this is a deal my friend.

+geovanie flores actually the 1957 les paul is the best

+Peter Adolph Michaelsen Zegarra we all have opinions. the 59s are rare and they're used by ma man jimmy page

That Ziff guy probably has 200 of them. I heard he has Beano too. God these are the Grail. I have some great guitars but this thing screams

There is only one Phil X

nah just about $8,599.00

Xavier Balzola it would be a travesty to mod a museum piece like this. These idiots don't under stand what "1959 sunburst les Paul" means.

@@fargeeks lol wut?

@@skullkrusher4418 even elvis presley reissiue of his guitar was worth over $80k

@@fargeeks And? What's your point?

I've seen some way cheaper than that but you'll still have to sell your house and car to get it ;)

Sunjay Patel In 1979 I had the chance to buy one for $6000. Instead I bought a 64 Strat for $650. Just some history and perspective.

They were never that much. And now there not anywhere near 250 grand either. Baby Boomers are dying and nobody else cares that much to pay huge coin for these guitars. In twenty years 59 bursts will be right where they should be around 30 to 70 grand.

doublestrokeroll I have a 1993 Epiphone Les Paul, and it sounds just like a 1959 Les Paul. I think the reasons for this is that it's fairly light weight for a Les Paul and the pick ups are unpotted, just like the old 59ers were unpotted. The light weight gives it more of a hollow body tone, while the unpotted pickups pick up more of the wood's resonant tones. Just a hunch, but I'd put money on it that I'm right. I own three vintage Les Pauls and sadly none really fool me into thinking I've got a 59 tone, but that Epiphone never fails to make me think it sounds like a 59. I love Jimmy Page, and even used to be in a Led Zeppelin tribute band. So I'm very familiar with Page's tone.

It's interesting cause somewhere on line the have a list of the weights of many of the 59's on record and they are almost all under 9lbs. I was a bit surprised to see this one as being nine and a half. I do think that weight range has a big part to play in the tone. I've got an Oville by Gibson (Japanese made gibson) that is 8 pounds even....solid...no weight relief or chambers....and it sounds amazing too. So yeah....I agree with you....people think LP's need to be heavy...I think it's the other way around...they need to be light....not too light.....but that 8 to 10 pound range is where it's at.

finally someone intelligent and PS Les Paul himself said it, "electric guitar sound is 90 percent the amp" I would also add that the player and his vibrato are quite important too, PS how come nobody has ever done a blindfold test,say a 59 burst and a reissue burst and let's see the experts tell the difference

Plug that sumbitch into a 10 dollar amp lol

jclev99 what in god's name is wrong with you

I'd put in some generic pickups like dragonfire or wilkinsons . I bet they'll make the guitar sound better . Yup

+jclev99 hehe better get some of those stock Agile pickups,,they gots the magic mojo!

+jclev99 are you out of your fuckin mind lol

+jclev99 Blocked.

I'd be happy enough to breathe the same air of the room one is in.
