Gibson Les Paul Classic 2022 (Modern) electric guitar review, with Dale Harris, guitar. The Gibson Les Paul Classic combines the early 60s style Les Paul model with some functional and time-tested modifications. As expected, the Les Paul Classic is crafted with a mahogany back and maple top coupled with a SlimTaper mahogany neck and a bound, rosewood fingerboard. 60s Burstbucker zebra, open-coil pickups provide classic Gibson tones from the era with a bit of extra punch thanks to the open coils. The control assembly features 4 push-pull pots, which provide choices of coil tapping, phase switching, and Pure Bypassing for functional and versatile sonic variety. This run of Gibson Les Paul Classics (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) are rumoured to be ending in 2024.

I got one on sale for $1999.00, for my son. He started to ignore his chores, so, Daddy has a new Les Paul now, and I love it. So versatile and those '61's!! Woof. Tjey are great.

Thin out of Out of phase sounds amazing too. Listen to old blues and that’s the sound

What are the differences?

I have a 2022 honeyburst classic. Very happy with it. Other than the PCB board and push pull options, just as good as any LP standard out there. It’s the same thing essentially

Hi, thanks for the message. I'm very glad to hear that I'm not in the minority in thinking that the Gibson Les Paul Classic is both a Standard plus a customised version in one. It's a great guitar, I agree. The extra complications aren't for everybody (old-school players?), but that's no reason to knock it. Thanks for sharing your experience. Best regards, Dale Harris

@redfrozenseven Ай бұрын

@@EverythingGuitar23good enough for old school players like Jimmy Page or Peter Green? Haha Les Paul himself loved technology… Great video!

The Classics are very good guitars if you don't get crappy ones... I have two Custom Shop ones, a '59 and a '57, and apart from the woodiness and rough playability, my Harrison Lucy Classic isn't that much worse. Despite my CS, I would buy it again at any time...

Why do you refer to the pickups as "front" and "rear"?, Is that common in your country. Ive always referred to them as "bridge" and "neck" pickups here in the US. Also, its LeS paul, not Lez paul! 😂😂

@EverythingGuitar23 3 ай бұрын

Why is everyone so grouchy today?! 😉 And is now a good time to mention the USA pronunciation of "soldering" as "soddering"?! Thanks for watching. All the best, Dale Harris

Ah yes, les paul classic , the cheapo version of the standard, .you did not mention the weight of this actuall guitar for some reason, making me suspect its a hafty bastard.

@EverythingGuitar23 3 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching and for reaching out. It's no secret. I gave ballpark weights to expect. Mine weighs 10lb exactly. 4.535kg. I hope that this helps. All the best, Dale Harris

The Classic is shait, and that is why Gibson has now discontinued it.

Hi, thanks for watching. My suspicion is that if it was that abhorrent (which I don't think that it is) then I'd have a tough time giving it away. Everything else is down to aesthetics. All the best, Dale Harris
