Hermano, you're so talented! Great shredding! I ordered the 60s Bourbon Burst. Can't wait to receive it 🔥

I was not expecting those killer licks! Great review man!

Ive got a 50's standard in heritage cherry sunburst and absolutely in love with it. Apparently the missus knew I was going to be walking out of the shop with it as soon as I played the first string. lol. I only went in for a nose as I didn't realise the shop sold new Gibsons lol. I didn't even try the 60's standard even though I had the chance to. I just instantly fell in love with the 50's.

Thank you for posting this video. Just what I was looking for. Your tone and playing are both excellent. Not sure I understand you signal chain completely but the tone is truly outstanding.

Love the 50’s - it’s basically an affordable R9 Both great though.

Wowowowowooow, great playing man! :) Cheers, keep it up!

Nice video, I am looking to buy a new les paul and this helped out alot. This is the only video that I could find highlighting the differences in sound back to back with a playing style that I want to hear (rock/metal.)

The tone on the 60s is so freakin sick. You play so great too man. Love the sound of the 60's

Love your playing style Good review

you have an awesome playing style man sounds great

I got my hands on a 50's one. They're both amazing. Personally I prefer lower output pickups - but both are literally amazing. if you have one, hope you're enjoying it!

Beautiful guitars and beautiful playing

Both are so so nice. Amazing. I just bought the 50s and prefer the slightly lower output pickups and slightly bigger neck

you're a no nonsense cat and that's cool. You get straight to the point and play..subbed.

Nice job Tony! When I played the two at my local music store, I thought the 1960 was more chimney when played clean the the 1950’s.

Excellent tone and playing, Tony! Both sound amazing in your hands. I think the 60's wins in the end, for me. \m/\m/

Great... Thanks to you i didn't make a mistake selling my fender custom shop for this Gibson 50' even it's a good guitar but not like my fender.. You are cleaned my thoughs... Thank you so much

Amazing playing!

Hermoso video amigo, disculpa que software usaste en tu pc? Por ejemplo guitar rig

So years ago I bought 2004 a 50's Standard. Then I bought a Gold Top 50's made mid December 2019. Well the Gold Top neck is a big. So now I realize the 2004 Standard with no weight relief is a 60'S. Different but..... both are terrific.( I do prefer the 60's slimmer neck because of all my Strats are not as thick.) nice video.

great video man ;) which dsp plugin do you use for sound?

Great review, awesome skills. Bought a 60s for the slimmer neck and brighter sound. Love both though

hey men i got both guitars, youre reviews are top notch!...thanks!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘...i play my 60s more!🤘

Great, I have the 50s. I always think a fairer comparison between lower and higher gain pickups is to do what you did but also do a comparison where you up the the gain on the amp for the lower output pups so they are both pushing the amp at much the same level.

Nice tone! What amp/effects are you using ?

they nailed it with these new standards, love these guitars. would have to decide based on the neck feel I think, if choosing one.

Thank you for the comparison now i know which one i gonna get😉

There are no differences between them besides the knobs, the pickups, the tuners, the neck profile and the colors. :) I would say, almost everything is different. Amazing playing btw.

Genial ! Cuál pedal y amplificador estás usando ?

Gracias por este video. Estaba buscando la diferencia exelente

Nice playing. To me, the 50s neck is just how a Les Paul is supposed to look, feel, and play. It's got character.

Both sound great and your playing is awesome! I know that you stated that Rock is what you do but I would be able to hear more difference between the two guitars with a clean setting. Most of what I hear are your effects in this video. No offense, just sharing my feelings. I’m going to go play both of these and compare them on Saturday of this week and will probably bring one of them home! They’re both good color and fair flame. It’s gonna come down to the necks and pickups for me. Of course pickups can be changed but necks can’t! Thank you for your hard work!!!

Awesome Video. Liked and Subscribed. You can talk some more your knowledgeable of the difference. But I love your attention to the sound!! Instant fan because of this video Thank you!!

Great video! I currently own a Gibson Les Paul Studio 2020 in Tangerine burst. I absolutely love it! But, I am now ready to invest in a standard. Both of these guitars right here sound equally awesome to me. The 60’s is a bit brighter while the 50’s is warmer and fuller in tonality. I personally prefer to have a slimmer taper on the neck, and the Grover machine heads. I would also like to have a standard in the heritage cherry sunburst color as well. I wish the necks were interchangeable. This is quite challenging. Do you know if it would be difficult to swap out the vintage deluxe tuners for the Grover’s on the 50’s model? I wouldn’t want to alter the hole size or leave any exposed holes neither. Gibson guitars are works of art that can depreciate in value if damaged, and I really just don’t want to tamper too much with them.

I just got a 50's one in the Tobacco Burst. :-)

What this amazing video proves is only that when you put your 10k hours in the playing any guitar sounds awesome. Alnico 2 (50’) or 5 (60’) don’t really matter at that point. Great playing, thanks man.

Very nice video, I was wondering if you can explain how is this video mixed? The mic from the camera records you talking, but the guitar sound is recorded by software on your laptop/pc, and then later you just combine it together in some video editor? Thanks!

I have both , they are superb guitars 🧐😎

I've always preferred the 50's style neck but since owning a Standard 60's, I think I've been converted.

The Alnico V is more defined good for chorus and gain cuts thru mix better , The Burstbucker 2 is great for classic rock one of my favorite pickups in bridge

Brutal!

Prefer the 50's. The neck I believe has a bit more girth to it. Love those Cluson Tuners. Either way. Agree both are c awesome guitars. Great Demo. Machismo Gracias.🙂👍🎸

Hello mate! Great job, greetings from Barcelona 👍🎼

Preciosidades!!!! Por qué no nos enseñas esos Riff tan guapos????

The mids of the 50’s are way more warm and sustain longer on your pinched harmonics, but the 60’s sounds brighter and more open. However it seemed to not sustain as long on your pinched harmonics. Could’ve been the way you played each guitar differently, but I like the 60s neck with the 50’s pickups 😂 looks like I may have to swap mine idk they both sound sick af tbh

Ambas suenan majestuosas, estan construidas con el mismo tipo de maderas. Lo que las hace sonar un poco diferentes en este caso son las pastillas. Seguramente si las hubiera comparado con sonido limpio o semi limpio hubieramos captado mas la diferencia tonal de estas joyas. Cabe mencionar que algunas veces comparando guitarras que son identicas en todo sentido, aún así llegan a sonar un poco diferente porque cada guitarra tiene su propia esencia.

The 60's sounds better for rock/metal, especially on the pinch harmonics.The 50's would be better for a warmer blues sound. Both are sick but I prefer the sixties sound cuz I play more metal and rock. Thanks for the comparison 🤘🤘 I just ordered the 60's but wasn't sure if I choose the right one. Great playing thanks !!

I own several models with the 50's aesthetic so I decided to purchase the 60's and it rips. Almost has the shred feeling to it minus that fact that it's still a Les Paul.

Hermano Ready to buy a 60s 2020 or 50s 2020 Would you say that the neck size will Make that much difference to someone who’s playing ability is not that strong I like the sound of both of the guitars thank you hope to hear a reply from you

BARK AT THE MOON! :) I'm having a super hard time deciding between either.

I just got the standard 60’s in triburst and LOVE it. Just posted a video featuring it def check it out. But agree, for hard rock and metal, the standard 60’s does well.

La de los 50 me suena más pastosa, tiene más cuerpo, la de los 60 es más aguda. Mi preferencia es la de los 50. Gustos colores. Muchas gracias por la prueba, es un placer verte tocar.

Which one did you keep? Or both? And do you still have them?

One of each would be nice

I think the 60's has better clarity. Maybe because the mids were fatter on the 50's? But the 50's seemed to sustain better. It's hard to say for sure, but I noticed that you were more inspired to hold notes longer on the 50's. A lot of times if you look at what you are inspired to play by a guitar it'll give you what you need to know to define the differences.

Que tal Tony, que color es el de la guitarra 60'..?

Tiene mas definicion el sonido de la 50´s. Bueno,pa mi gusto.

Im a strat player looking for an LP. Like the looks of the tuners on the 60 better. Will probably also like the slimmer neck. Unfortunately I think the 50 sounds a tad better.

I wanna learn your style of playing. We already have a bit in common. How can I learn your licks most efficiently? Btw. that goes without saying, great playing! Hope you reply!

What amp are you runnin through brother??

Not a bad demo mate, nice playing, but with this much gain its only natural to me that A5 pickups will sound better, or 'right'. Might like to hear some cleans and crunch, and better still, both guitars with identical pickups. Many people will swap them out anyway.

What overdrive pedal are you using?

Did you use pedals for this vidéo ? Thanks

That 50s model yo. Kluson tuners, fat neck and those warmer pickups. Oooooof

Hola Tony qué piensas de la calidad actual de las Gibson, se habla mucho de un deterioro notorio desde el 2013 hacia acá, tengo muchas guitarras y de diferentes marcas y ahora quiero comprar una les Paul 50 como la de tu vídeo y ya de paso qué opinas de las ESP eclipse como comparativa con las les Paul Un saludo desde Barcelona

Excellence

Sound the same to me xD both awesome

Hello, what about the frets? how do you feel it?

The 50's more open sounding, more sub harmonics too. I favour the 50's less compressed tone.

How’s the quality control on these guitars?

Yo me quedaria la 50's. Yo le noto un tono mas definido, con menos salida y mas clasico... pero son solo apreciaciones de mi oido! Ambas suenan genial! Tony, seguro que no llevan agujeros? Son Custom Shop? En que pesos andan?

@tonymartinez what colour is the 60s standard in this video please?

This guitarist can play. Both guitars can work obviously, but the 60s LP is definitely brighter Damn, Gibson nailed both of these models

I have a 2017 standard, but on these newer 50s vs 60s isn’t the 50 neck a fatter C while the 60s is a slim taper? I could be wrong because I never played either.....

Love my bourbon burst 60's model. Twas a hard decision given the tobacco burst, ice tea burst and unburst. All look gorgeous to me but I settled with the most in between color. Not the darkest nor the lightest burst.

50s my kind of tone predilection

Nice comparison! But i guess if both had same pickups, there would be no difference.

Debes hablar del peso también ! Pues es importante Need to talk about the weight of each guitar also bro!! It’s something very important too.

Quillo , has mejorado tela el inglés! Ahora es mucho más fluent, jeje. Un abrazo

Your sound comes out of that THR II back there?

The 60s is a bit hotter so it is louder and distorts earlier. The 50s is a purist model for those that want to get that 59 sound. The 60s is still less hot than a classic with 57s as an fyi.

I love my 60s

The 60's one sounds crunchy whereas the 50's one is more mellow!

How would you compare them in terms of feel and sound to your R9? Thanks.

Yo elijiria la 60s' porque suena mas potente y trae grovers son clavijas con mas aguante pero también esta bien la de los 50'

A nivel se sonido son prácticamente iguales, solo las diferenciará un profesional avezado. A nivel estético son casi idénticas cuestión de gustos. Por comodidad elegiría la de mástil mas fino. Seguro. Una envidia solo salvable con algo más de 2000 €. Gracias por la promoción.

Tony Martinez veo que en el video indicas que prefieres la 60s porque es mas rockera y es lo que tu haces, pero en los comentarios indicas que prefieres la 50s. Supongo que por grosor de mastil y pastillas la 50 suena con mas cuerpo...¿Es mucha la diferencia? Por cierto, ¿Cual de ellas es la mas demandada? Parece que la 60s verdad?

I love the sound of the 50’s but the neck was too thick for me so I got the 60’s

What about the frets bro?

What r you playing threw

I like the neck better on 60s LP versus fatter baseball 50s neck and price less expensive as well.

Les Paul 50s is for me. I love fat neck. Hb or p-90 is my question 😉

Is there any difference in weight?

In my humble opinion the 60s is better, with a more defined tone but also the 50s is very good.

Did the 60s has chunky neck than 50s?

Shouldn't the necks be different? You mean the 2019 50s Original doesn't actually have a 50s profile neck?

APOCO SABE HABLAR INGLES ESTE GALLEGO?

Hola Tony entiendo que hablas Español y si pudieses hacer un rewiew en Español sería fantástico estoy pensando en comprarme la 50s un saludo y gracias

60s is the best!

60 para mi.
