I’ve owned 3 Gibson guitars. Electric that is lol. 2 studios and a 71 standard. I can tell you that the studios are a fantastic instrument for the money. My 96 studio has a 50s profile neck but my 2018 smokehouse studio has a thinner profile almost like the 71 standard. I swapped out the push-pull pots for traditional pots and a set of Seymour Duncan, Saturday Night Specials in my 2018 studio. It is a fantastic tone. My next purchase will be a Les Paul classic in ebony

The Les Paul Jr was the preferred axe of my longtime favorite guitar player, Leslie West of Mountain. Just a real stripped down workhorse of a guitar. Love the p90 sound. Leslie, RIP brother. Thank you for your contribution to the music scene. In my eyes you were a giant of a guitar player.

That was more Les Paul than I expected and exactly what I needed, thanks. I was impressed with the tonal changes on the LP just by switching pickups and tone controls, what a rock n roll machine. I've always had my eye on the Standard but now I'm stuck between the 50's or the 60's version so I guess you'll be seeing me at the Bloor location trying both of them out!

@longandmcquade Жыл бұрын

We set out with the goal to produce the most extensive Les Paul comparison video on KZfaq! If you're visiting our Bloor store, you can ask for Justin directly! Let him know you watched this video and it helped you narrow it down to the Standard but you need help deciding between the '50s and '60s versions. He'll answer any questions you might have left and hook you up to try them both out.

This video really explains it. Definitely true about the standard 60s having the thin neck.. it’s very thin compared to the 50s which I found to be almost too bulbous. A very underrated model is the Les Paul Traditional - it’s very close to actual 50s spec and feels like the necks on the custom shop reissues. If you can find a used one from between 2008-2012, snag it!

Thank you for your expertise. I learned a lot more about Les Paul guitars. I have a 1972 54' Copy Custom Les Paul. It is 51 years old this year. It sounds beautiful with its P90's. I love playing it more than my 1986 Stratocaster made in Japan, of course. I had a relative, David Wiegand (Deceased), who had much to do with inventing the pickups on guitars as well as magnetic tape recorders. He was an electrical engineer. As a Born-again Christian, I like Phil Keaggy's guitar playing, especially when he lets loose on his, I believe, 60's Les Paul. If you have seen him play, check out on KZfaq his 1980 year of playing his song, "Time."

Gibson LP 60’s standard Icetea burst for me. Picked mine up at the L&M Langford BC store and I Love it. Been eying for a while and then it was “Gibson Month” 2023 and I bought it. Couldn’t be happier with the guitar in terms of playability and looks. It was the fourth LP I have purchased from L&M in the past year and a bit, Epi LP worn gold top, Epi Limited edition LP 59 standard in addition to an Epi LP ebony custom. Each guitar is unique and a joy to play. The customer service at both the Langford and Victoria L&M stores has been exceptional at every point of my purchase experience. Thanks for the video.
