Just got my first LP ever not long ago. It's one of the more affordable Tributes in honeyburst, yet it still plays and sounds like no guitar I've ever had before. It very quickly became my new #1.

KZfaq guitarists stack guitars like I stack trans fats.

I ended up getting the 50s standard in Fuchsia. My wife always wanted me to have a pink guitar. Lol. Great guitar and really dig it!

Love the red with the natural back and sides. What a great looking fiddle. Side note, I switched to a 9.5 to 48 set for any guitar in standard tuning and I’m totally hooked.

Man, that LP through the Deizel second channel really has that 80's Whitesnake sound. Love it!

Great looking guitar! Nice to see standards in custom colors!! Great playing as always Unc!!!

Gibson has been knocking it out of the park with the les Paul’s for the last 6 years.

That's a killer Paul, and that tune you were jamming at the beginning was kick ass man, sounded freaking great!!!

Amazing tones, Ben! Kudos for the AIC and Mastodon riffs ;)

What a splendid beauty, what a sound.. Thanks a lot Uncle Ben!

Beautiful guitar and fabulous playing. Always been a LP guy for all the obvious reasons but also for the more comfortable scale length.

Dope playing bro! Definitely want some lessons on how to structure riff ideas into songs! I’ve always loved your playing Ben! Big fan.

Holy canoli! That tune "Grip" sounds deliciously awesome. Thanks for letting us mortals have a taste of the deity's mana 😇

That guitar sounds great, and great tones on that track. Sounds flipping really really good.

I agree about the pickups, they are amazing IMO. I have a 2019 LP Standard and have never considered changing them (even though I change pickups on almost all my guitars).

Got the same one in the 50's style and it is an amazing guitar. I also picked up a fuchsia one in the 60's. Both necks are great and the pickups are great on both, the 60's are tighter but both are excellent.

i love the reverb on that solo

Clapton has a blues cover of Hot Tamales and a Red Hot. Uncle Ben ought to do a version with this lovely axe.

That intro makes me very excited for the album. So good

Thank you Uncle Ben for that great Paul try out. Have had two Paul’s in the last 50 years, always wonderful. Can’t wait for the album

I got a Standard 60s back in 2022 and I absolutely love it! It was flawless and perfect

So rad! Also my favorite finish!

Hey Ben, Nice song & sweet tone! Do I hear some influence of Satch, Slash, & EvH? Can't wait to hear your album! Love your channel, your lessons are so great! All the best, KT

Sweeeet Axe!! This video is not about the guitar or the amps, but clearly shows that tone comes from your hands! Great job Uncle B!!

Lovin that groove !

That tune at the intro is fricken sic af. Love it

Uncle Ben... simple formula that worked yesterday, today and will be around tomorrow: Gibson + Marshall = sound of the gods Great LP, enjoy

Great video! I used to be so against Les Pauls when I was younger but I finally gave one a chance a few years ago and I’m now a convert. They really are great guitars and are super versatile! I just got one of the new Custom Color models and it’s perfect.

That guitar and song are CALIENTE!! 🔥🎸

My LP studio is crying in the corner right now

great sound... godjob 🤘😎

I just got one of these in blueberry burst. It's my dream guitar.

The intro track reminded me of something Pete Thorn would do. Sounded killer man.

Damn, that Diezel sounds great! Were you using any pedals on the drive channel? I think I need one and Les Paul too. Thank for sharing, as always amazing content!

That's a tasty jam, UB.

Nailed it!!!!

The riff kinda has a Slither vibe to it. Love it

i got and iced tea flametop 60s. the quality and fit/finish is incredible( looks and feels as good as my custom shop) . just still drialing in the action and pickups. not quite getting what im used to out of it yet.

Killer tones on your 60's I have a few 60's they are awesome rock machines.

Your intro tune is awesome so I can imagine the solo album will be amazing. Also, I usually use 9-42's and even 8-38's sometimes. Joe Beato has a whole video on this - check it out. Great video, Ben!

Great video, as always, Uncle B 👍.. Quick question. Are you using the studio monitors for output in the room? Are you running a cab too ?

Uncle Ben. Diggin the Cardinal red top, but I LOVE the GnR shirt you’re rocking 🤘🎸

That 2nd channel where all the heavy things live sounds like that is where George Lynch lives. Love it.

Awesome guitar and great playin!

Love that Blue Murder riff, sounds great!

Need a Les Paul modern next! 😎

This video convinced me to get the same guitar except I got a 50s neck. Gibson is back to making great guitars. Burst bucker pickups are so good! Mine is absolutely perfect. Already looking at a new standard goldtop with P90s.

Nice. I'm lusting after a 50s trans fuscia one but bought a 50s faded a couple of months before these were released so I'm skint.

10:36 this time of year was made for listening to BWP

thats a sick song

nice guitar, and great playing as always. I like all kinds of guitars, but there is just something special about a les paul. Think it is a combo of everything, looks, sound, nosalgia. The only guitar I ever regret selling was my first a black les paul custom. I would give almost anything to have that one back. I have a great les paul now, but it is just not the same.

I just got a slash Les Paul couple of weeks ago I forgot how killer the tone is.

OMG! I just love this model in that colour! I LOVE your playing!!! Frank Marino-esq style man! YEW ROCK!!!

Love red LPs. Looks sounds awesome, is the grain popping thru? I’ve got LP trad pro 2011 red.

Awesome playing and great sounding LP! What are you playing @ the 10:50 mark? clean tones? Beautiful stuff. At some point I have to get a single cut back in my line up. I have to say... the ESP II Eclipse are pretty awesome!

Very nice! Considering one of these. You didn't mention the weight; from what I see at various stores online, most of these are WELL over 9 lbs. Yikes. Also, I assume it came with 10's; did you have to tweak the set up at all when you changed to the 9's? Most of us won't get one from Gibson, so we will have a chance to get the initial setup tweaked as necessary. I've recently gone to 9.5's on my LP's, down from 10's, and really liking that! Thanks Ben, good video!

Really loving the videos, especially the EVH Hang ‘em high riff. Another mind boggling bit of playing is Michael Schenker’s solo on “Another Piece of meat” from Scorpions Lovedrive album. Totally unconventional and brilliant solo.

Great Music, should be on an album.

YOU ROCK UNCLE BEN..........!!!!!!!!

Have you tried the Adam Jones Standard yet? Very nice indeed.

I immediately fell in love with this guitar when I first saw them and later played one at my local guitar store, not only do they sound killer but the colour immediately reminded me of George Harrison’s classic “Lucy” Les Paul (which also made me happy since The Beatles were the first band I heavily got into when I first started playing guitar and Harrison was (and still is) my first major influence, plus that’s one of my favourite guitars he’s ever played). Great vid as always, Uncle Ben, stay awesome and peace from Canada

Wow; 9s on a Les Paul? I guess that a lot of artists used to do that back in the day. I am thinking about throwing on some D Addario 9.5-44's to try out again on my Les Paul and short scale guitars.

Is Andy Wood rubbing off on you, Ben? This is great, dude!😃

Run 10/46 on my Gibsons at Drop C/D standard. Clarity is great and very slinky.

Les Paul thru JCM 800 and Diezel, love those sounds! Curious as to what that bad boy sounds like thru the Jake E Lee.

Very Pete Thorn-esque intro jam. (This is the highest compliment I can give a guitarist)

i agree totally ben with what you said no one ever lost a gig by showing up with a les paul i have 3 two traditional a 2010 heritage cherry sunburst with a dimarzio crunch lab in the bridge daddario xt 10-46 strings e flat tuning a 2016 honeyburst traditional all stock even the bent tuners have to change soon by the way and a red jay turser 220d lp style guitar with seymour duncan jb-59 pups the 2016 traditional has usually ernie ball 11-52 strings on it in e flat tuning and the red jay turser has 10-52 strings on it in drop d tuning latley ive been using my fulltone plimsoul for drive on my fat clean mark v 35 mesa 1x12 combo cheers jeff from deka lake b.c. canada have a great thanksgiving down there man and let the happy holidays begin with all things guitar remember like u said more less clicken more picken or one turkey no chicken have a good one ben!!!

Phenoms. Any chance I can humbly implore you for the signal chain/ settings on the VH2??? I recently acquired one and you seem to have cracked the code on this finicky beastie. 🖤

Very nice . Have you tried a lp traditional??

Love the tracks! What kind of drummer are you using? They sound pretty authentic.

Pretty machines

Nice red les paul the only 2 things I would change if it was mine would be the color and the model

That song is f cool!

I bought my first real Gibson lp only a few months ago. TradV in Translucent ebony. Absolute love it but,, It's getting pretty aggressive fret wear, especially on the 2nd fret. I'm prolly playing to heavy but still.. my ltd jm2 with ss frets doesn't show wear after 2 years.

With all that gear I wonder why you didn't get a custom shop. I've had many USA versions and then tried a custom shop and holy crap what a difference. You can get them used for not that much more, well a little more than not much more.

If you like 9's, try 8's and then wait till you try 7's, sooooo... good!

I have a 08 Traditional I love mine

*UNCLE BEN!*

1:33 ahhh yea thats the juice

Sup Ben! How did you track the rhythm guitars and pan them? Like 800 on one side and diezel on the other side? Or do you track both amp together as one signal and pan that and then double it and pan the other way? Those are some fkin crushing tones dude. 🤘🏻

She's a beaut Uncle Ben!!!

enjoy the new toy

As always a Les Paul through a Marshall, the ultimate in Rock N Roll!

Now it's a fight to keep it in tune unless for the first time in Gibson's history they made you a Les Paul with zero tuning issues. This why I went with the Axcess model with the Floyd... now that is an awesome guitar.

That new guitar would be perfect for a new Stuff Mastodon Does video.

The bluesy riff reminds me of Foo Fighters - Weenie Beenie

Not my favourite colour but a great guitar. Actually anyone that bashes Gibson today really dont have a clue how they are making very nice instruments again.

The “slim-taper” neck is one of my favorites…it IS really good!!

? My lzzy hale explorerbird needed a fret dress new out of the box, really poor, they certainly didnt do the frets well on mine!

I bought the LP 50's Sparkling Burgundy and it's so good looking I'm think I going to sleep with it!

Anyone know the jazz song he was playing?

Rad red ♥️

Big and fat in the right places...was expecting a "mom" reference there😂😂. Killer guitar, Sounds great. Congrats, Man. Had one Paul in my lifetime...a pawnshop find studio back in the mid 80's. Took the old scotch bright pad to the back of the neck as I really don't like finished necks. I would definitely not be doing that today with what they are going for. If I pull the trigger again, probably be an epi off of reverb so the butchery would be minimal. Again, killer rig.🤘

Do you have to pay for this I'm new to patreon I didn't pay but received a notice

Paul Bearer huh? Ohhhhhh yes!

Should be: "for people who like things that are more nicer." 😉

Make natural backs standard again 👏 none of that red dye

I prefer the 50’s version Std. Both are great but, I just like the 50’s better.

Reminds me of slash in velvet ..rev

I am definitely biased when it comes to Les Paul's at least I admit it. If the guitar is set up right you can shred on it period. It's not only your father's type of guitar playing the Blues/Rock sounds (It does that very well) but it can take whatever you give it. I never really paid too much attention to the thickness of the necks or radius, I just pick it up and play it. Other guitars play differently and that's great too, more tools for the job. Damn Gibson I do have a complaint lol that Cardinal Red is hot! I want one and I wouldn't mind the Oxblood one reminds me of Jeff Beck, the earlier Jeff Beck "Blow By Blow" The custom colors are a smart move by Gibson in my opinion. Nice sound on it Ben, does she have a name yet? lol.
