Thanks! It’s a beaut

Cheers Malcolm!

You will be pleased!

Awesome! I couldn’t be happier for my first Les Paul model 🤟

The camera doesn’t do it justice!

This faded Pelham Blue looks great, and looks OK with those clear control knobs (not so good on the other colours). The Burgundy one looks good, maybe a bit too 'sparkly'. I just don't get the other colours - Caffe Latte Fade/Magma Orange Fade/Carribbean Blue Fade 🤔.

@Carlos Who Good call. That would look great with the black pickguard, pup surrounds, headstock and ebony board 👍. Those transparent knobs look weird.

Yupi got something,when it first came out,looks even better in person.

@@SaxJockey ooooooo,it looks weird, ooooooo...what are you ,Five?

It wasnt bad, nothing I couldn’t tweak myself! The frets felt great 🤟

Do all 4 volume and tone controls pop up and down or just 3 ?

@@benallmark9671 Pretty sure it's just 3 of them. This guitar is on my list, and I've been checking it out. Don't have it yet. But I thin the 2 volume pots split (each) Humbucker... for those split-coil sounds. And then one tone control takes the pickups out of phase. Totally cool functionality. Don't know how much I would use it. But very cool versatility. I want one soon. Can't decide between this one and the sparkle red. Both gorgeous guitars!

Awesome stuff! Glad my video helped

Black. Rock and roll

Upgrade the bridge and pickups to which models?

Seymour Duncan SH-6b Duncan Distortion Humbucker Pickup to this one

6H-6b for the bridge and which one for the pickups that is close to the neck of the guitar will fit the pickups of the bridge or leave the original one that is close to the neck and only the bridge to replace

To change the electronics 4 potentiometers to the cts model

Cool idea - I’ve made some little Denis of how I record & the interfaces I use but I might look into an updated video!

Boooo

tbf I've seen the strings getting caught on fret edges on various guitars so I agree!

@@RobGalley I like the look of the binding extending the fret ends but it’s for show. Not practical at all

@@MrPantera123456i prefer my gibson standard binding. Never got a string stuck

Thankyou! & yes this is more than just a backup guitar. It became my new main for my summer gigs. It’s currently being fixed as the pots have worn out & the sound was becoming very inconsistent

@@RobGalley I guess we're in agreement then. It's interesting that you mentioned unstable tone issues that you've attributed to pots. I think I know what you're talking about. My first take on it was the 3-way switch, because it seemed if I futzed with it enough, it would come back and stabilize (the problem seemed to affect only the neck pickup - which of course has implications for the middle position) and the only position that seemed not to be affected was the bridge. It was consistently stable. So, like you, I am at the second link in the chain (the neck position push-pull pot). Well, I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but at the end of my last session, I rather than futz with the switch and push-pull pot, I pulled my cable from the input jack and replaced it. Instant stability which lasted for hours, no matter what I did with the pots or 3-way. I just haven't had time to play since, so I can't say if I'm on to something. But I might be, even though it would seemingly make no sense. But there are so many phantom electronics bugaboos in the universe that sometime the most spurious-seeming answer winds up being correct. So you might want to take a look at that possibility before you start ripping out high-dollar components that are not prone to failure (being that our guitars are using genuine CTS pots). I actually got another indication very early on that the problem was related to the jack, as I thought it was a cable problem. When I switched cables, the problem seemed to evaporate - that, however, was short lived. But in retrospect, that alone indicated the jack - which is almost always the weakest link in the chain. I feel like a fool for having forgotten that until now.

@@RobGalley Scratch the input jack. No relationship whatsoever. Back to the neck position volume pot. I am wondering if there is a way to address it with contact cleaner, but I suspect not. I am able to temporarily remedy it by pulling it out and then popping it back in “authoritatively,” though not with 1 to 1 reliability. Regardless, the status quo isn’t acceptable. This is a situation where living in the third world is not advantageous. Not exactly a haven for warranties. I will probably have to pony up for a new pot, though maybe not.

Yes

Yeah! I put 10s on this guitar. Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video

Nothing..no difference

@@kingarthur1776 Thanks; I can't do side by side comparison of the specs on my cellphone & I don't own a computer.

Sounds great! Nice playing

I know what you mean. I can’t say I’ve noticed it too much on this one!

@@RobGalley That's great to know bro! I'm looking at getting one of these modern Epi's

@Carlos Who thanks

The Gibson version has 4 push pulls. It has a true bypass.

Yep! Hah. Northern lad 🤟

@@RobGalley If you want a chuckle, search 'Perry returns from Manchester' on here 😂. Best Regards from a fellow northerner 👍.
