Despite having a magical wand of iconic rock destruction in his hands he plays it totally clean (utterly brilliantly I might add) .. that kids is a lesson .. hone your chops without reliance on too much gain, I know it's flattering, but you'll be glad you did in the end. All hail Greg and his guitar Kochery !

This 1960 les paul is in a better condition than my 2011 les paul.

@tacoconch7678 3 жыл бұрын

That's because your Les Paul hasn't been owned by a handful of cork sniffers who can't play.

@smoochie3331 3 жыл бұрын

its owned by Mike Slub, it doesn't say its played by.

Such a great experience to get to listen to those magical PAFs played by Greg. I tell you folks, Gibson's 57-60 reissues are absolutely incredible since 2013. You will never regret an investment in one those...I can VALIDATE that personally. Great video.

Bj Garris yes, and have you tried any of the collectors choice lesters? I didn't think they would be THAT good, but the one i tried just was. i played the # 17. such a great guitar in every way possible.. its just a shame i don't have the dough for one right now

Man that is super clean for an original 60, I have that exact guitar but it's a VOS and I love it to death. It's as close to the real thing I'm willing to pay and that was ridiculously expensive too but this guitar is in the 6 digits for sure.

Those bursts are untouchable I don't care what anybody says the proof is right here, there is no other guitar that sounds like that. Don't get me wrong I love pretty much all legit guitar companies but Gibson LP's are the king of them all.

Most treble Les Paul ever- almost unbelievable

@Dagger_323 6 жыл бұрын

Not really. It has to do with how PAF's were designed as well as the tone and volume pots, and the 50's wiring. Modern Les Pauls (the Gibson USA ones, not the Custom Shop reissues) are not made this way, which is why everyone associates a darker tone with them. Original humbuckers were not dark at all.

@hopebrowning6300 11 ай бұрын

The bridge and tail peace makes a big difference .the old ones used softer alloys same as the slug and pole peaces .You take a 58 to 60 paf and put it in a new modern les paul and it still will have a harsh brittle top end on the bridge , and dark flubby neck pickup Sad the millions Gibson had made they could have made them right long time ago .last 10 to 15 years now , fender isn't no better with there over priced junk that's nothing like the old ones in sound or playability

Nah it's not you , its Gibson junk ..Thousands of dollars for a guitar that has nothing in comen with the old ones they claim to be re issues like the bridge , tail peace , alloy parts inside the pickups, winding tenetion and pattern and wire used and coil offset , many more are way different than the 58 to 60 paf.pickups fender no better , both , even hi up models action real high, fret buzz ever where , neck shapes not comfortable ..2 to 300 at best guitars with 2 to 5 grand price tags..ahh long as we buy them like that , they won't improve them ..all about the $$ to both copanys
