This is part 3 of 6 videos where we check out the Les Paul Faded & the Les Paul Tribute from the 2018 USA range. By the way, all Gibson guitars are USA made, but for some reason, the core line of Les Pauls, SGs, Firebirds, Explorers & Vs is always referred to as the USA line. The Memphis range (semi acoustics), the Montana range (acoustics) & Custom Shop range are all made in the USA, but Gibson just give those ranges different names. Confused - so are we, but its been that way for a long time!
Rob is playing through a Mesa Boogie Mark V:35 with a GFI Specular Reverb pedal & Lee is using a Marshall 2525 Jubilee head & is using an EP Boost & a Dunlop Mini Wah in the front & an MXR Carbon Copy & Boss Reverb in the loop.
Next up are the SGs - stay tuned!
Cheers!
Lee & Rob

I see a lot of people saying this lately but, I think that the captain has always been this good just that if you look at their older videos, he would only do rhythm guitar and rob would do lead but lately, he's been doing a lot of lead guitar, that's why it might seem he's getting better

Very unpopular. I wish I could agree but Gibson’s without binding just look odd to me I had the sg faded in red with No binding and I always wished I got the sg classic with the p90s and the binding n dot inlays. The dot inlay Gibson’s look way better with binding

Everything happened after 2016, you know, the 2016 Studio Faded T used to be mahogany body and mahogany neck with maple top, trapezoid Inlays and chrome covered pickups. In 2017 they separated this to make the Studio Faded T even more affordable, removing the pickup covers, simplifying to dot inlays and reducing cost in the neck, now being maple. The 2017 and 2018 Les paul tribute is now what the 2016 Studio Faded "T" for "tribute" used to be :) :) .

@Spartanm333 4 жыл бұрын
I agree - 2018 was a decent year for them. I think in 2019 they have tried to improve the QC again and get rid of some of the silly colours although in respect of the budget end (Studio / Tribute / Faded) they appear to have down-specified and increased the price a touch - there is no gold top with traditional trapezoid inlays for example. I would hunt down a 2018 Tribute used - stunning guitar for the money.

I'm from U.S.A. and must be one of the few folks here who know and love Merillion. Nice mention! I've seen them both with Fish and H multiple times. Before Tower Records went out of business here, maybe around 2004'ish they played the an incredible acoustic set at Tower Records. I was one of the maybe 30 people who were their watching them play a hour set of music.

I don't usually add comments to you tube videos but just a thank you for mentioning that these guitars are available left handed. I wondered if you could mention this in all your reviews. It's really frustrating seeing you demonstrate a fantastic instrument only to find out, after trawling the web, that it's not available lefty. Cheers for the great reviews guys and keep up the good work.
@dansedelachevre 6 жыл бұрын
i wanted to comment on the exact same thing. i even called PRS last year to ask whether they had ANY left handed guitars for sale. the answer was a clear ''no''. even though one might find some of the earlier left handed PRS models on the internet.
@jamjar20049 6 жыл бұрын
I bought a gold top lefty Tribute from Lee in February. I had to return it because Gibson have wired the pots right handed, that is turning clockwise as you look down will make it louder. This is the opposite way to all my other guitars including a Gibson Custom I used to have.. Some people get used to it but I could not. It was not even possible to reverse the lugs on the pots because they used a printed circuit board in the control cavity. (You could obviously rewire the whole thing but you would lose any guarantee) I don't know if the 2018 range have the same issue, but it might be an idea to enquire before you buy. They are good guitars, but you will have to do a basic setup, no lefties in QC, and the case is a vast improvement over the 2017 affair, which was basically just a thin piece of foam with a zip. Andertons service by the way was top notch, can't fault them.

Hey guys, I ended up buying the 2017 Standard T after watching your videos. Honey burst, but this yrs so quick and again no poker chip. Hhmmm not going to drill the scratch plate on. My first Gibson $4200 on big discount we pay heaps. But raised the stop bar alittle and it's sounding great. But if I waited looks like a month I could have the 2018 Standard T. Goes with my walnut Ml-1 pro the one without bolt on neck. Love it. Tried fitting a poker chip and they made it such tight toggle fit it doesn't take the chip??? Keep up great work I look forward to your videos.

This video is comedy gold. The edit of The Captain's moans are hilarious. "Oooooh... Yeah!" 😂 😂 😂 Great intro solo by the Captain. Sounds beautiful. Serious question: Apart from the different paint and the inlays (and the minimal weight difference) what real difference is there between these guitars? They're pretty identical, so why is Gibson retailing them with £100 difference? 😕
