I am so tempted to get one! Love the 60's faded and each one the way the color fades is so unique on each top!

@JorgeSalasGuitar Жыл бұрын

60's is my personal choice but it was really close. If you're a LP fan, you won't regret either of these... They feel like REAL LPs with some serious tone and playability.

Looking at buying the 60’s for my first Gibson, they look pretty awesome.

By the way Clapton got the woman tone by setting the tone on the neck PAF to the sweet spot between 0 to 1 and set the volume to between maximum or 9. Sometimes he would use both pickups together with the same settings and would turn up the bridge PAF tone slightly higher (approx 3 or 4). Unfortunately for those of us unable to afford a 60 yr old Gibson achieving an authentic woman tone is far easier with genuine 50s wiring & vintage PAFs.

I actually just heard that somewhere and I was wondering if I said the wrong thing in any of my videos 🤣 Thanks! It sounds amazing!

Great video! This helped me pick which one to go with. The faded will save you hundreds over buying the standard. You really can’t believe how different than neck feels with the 60s slim taper. I tried both and the thinner neck just felt awesome for me personally. The pick ups in the 60s faded are definitely hotter than the 50s and much crunchier. This is a great guitar for the price point!

I just received my 60’s the other day and it plays so well! Only thing I noticed was my case is black and doesn’t include a pick guard, which the color doesn’t bother me. Wish it included a pick guard as well though!

@JorgeSalasGuitar Жыл бұрын

I’m sure you can order one easily! I’m not a fan of pickfuards so it all worked for me. Super glad you like it! It plays fantastic!!!

I have a LP Standard Slash and a Trad. In the Slash one the knobs are elevated, not in the Trad. I never though of that as a "feature" but more like that is how they set the knobs at factory. Is that a feature? like to be expected from 50s standard but not from other ones? or is it that the pots are longer?

@JorgeSalasGuitar Жыл бұрын

Not sure if it is a feature or not! Sorry. I bet both guitars kick ass!

Man I’ve been sleeping on the new Gibsons! Just seeing this faded series and really want to get my hands on a few to play through. From your audio clips the 50’s has the sound for me. More open, clear and dynamic but not lacking at all in the low and mids. Makes sense with lower output Burstbuckers. Bridge 50’s driven was THAT sound! All the gain you need right there. 60’s sounded good too, more for hard rock IMO
