A small nit, but their scale is set to read pounds, not pounds and ounces, so 8.4 pounds is 8lb 6.4oz (0.4 * 16). So their scale is dead on with yours. Be careful on the difference between decimal pounds and pounds/ounces.

Great guitar Colin! I love my 2022 Les Paul Standard 60'. I checked the 50' too, but I prefered the neck profile of the 60'. Even though the quality is very good, my guitar tech pleked it (it's an other machine that Gibson uses and takes more time) and made a real bone nut (also made with the Plek Machine) and it made it even better. Enjoy your new Les Paul! Odd thing with your neck profile. If you like it to play, I wouldn't worry too much.

Seems like a really nice guitar, Colin! Enjoyed hearing the clean playing run thru - good chance to hear the 3 pick-up settings and the 'personality' of each certainly comes thru. For me the slimmer neck would be a definite plus, some 50's standards I've tried feel too chunky, but not surprising since my one and only Gibson is the 68 Custom I bought in 1974 so I'm used to the 60's slimmer neck. I get the GAS thing, I enjoy visiting various websites and stuff and seem to find something I 'must have' every week or so but have managed to 'step away' - my purchases over the Covid era have been the Epiphone 1959 & Wino (I get a discount here) and a nice Japanese made 2018 Gretsch solid body (which I got half price - a 2018 guitar is considered 'old stock' at Tom Lee here in HK!). All going well sometime in the future I'll seal the deal on that SB59/v I tried in Shenzen and then, maybe, a Pro II Strat with a rosewood neck, which is a beautiful guitar. Want, don't need 😆

Really nice, and sounds very rich. I remember buying my first Les Paul, the Standard was just a hair more expensive than the Traditional and my inner cheapskate would not let me buy a real Standard. So I ended up with a lovey Traditional, still in love. The sound. I have a fat neck 50’s style and it’s very stable to seasonal temp and humidity changes. A solid guitar. When you have a room full of guitars the Les Paul will always be the big fat round and rich sounding guitar. You’ll know when you need it for contrast. Hard to escape it.

Gibson Les Pauls vary in weight due to the different densities in the wood. Two pieces of mahogany cut to the same shape can have vastly different weights due to differences in density. As far as the neck shape, CNC machines will carve the basic shape, but the final sanding and shaping are done by hand. Whoever worked on that neck created the final shape. BTW, there are a number of Les Pauls with asymmetrical necks including the Moderns, Traditional Pros, Classics, and a few others. I have a GT with an asymmetrical neck as well as a Trad Pro V and a recent Classic with asymmetrical necks. I think you have a keeper.

Think I hear a bit of active melody's Dickey Betts lesson 😁😁. Love your channel man real good stuff. Side note just got an Epi 59' Les Paul based on your great reviews... better guitar than I deserve. Have a great weekend man look forward to your videos every week

😆👍 well spotted!... but like always I try to pick up a few bits the night before I record without really practicing!

I've got G.A.S.! It's not to your Standard, but I've got it. You look so happy and excited. I'm happy for you too. Thanks!

That is one gorgeous guitar. There's some quilting there as well. You picked up a winner!

Your playing always reminds me of a back porch by the river in the evening. I like it. What about a showdown. Your Eastman vs. the standard. I'm commenting too early, its only been 2 minutes lol.

Colin, try to place the scale on hard surface. It can show higher weight on soft surfaces. Worth giving it a try. Thanks for fantastic job! You are the best!

I sold a brilliant and beautiful 60s Standard iced tea burst to get a 70s deluxe reissue with mini humbuckers. It's probably the best guitar I've ever played

I prefer minis too: the lack of top-end here doesn't really do it for me I'm afraid.

Wow:) Very nice choice, I approve of this purchase❤

I love the top on that! I'm happy that you seem to really like the guitar. It seems like the neck profile, while not historic, is a happy accident. Cheers until next week, Colin!

Beauty of the burst book is great isn’t it - that’s a gorgeous les paul

That’s a Beautiful Les Paul Collin ! I think the flame is just perfect. It’s not over the top I think it’s just right! And you were definitely giddy so I can tell you really like it. I think it’s a keeper. I thought you might get a Dirty Lemon, or maybe tobacco burst with a nice flame, but that’s beautiful. I never liked the heritage cherry too much because I thought the guitar had too much red. But that’s a beautiful one. I would be so happy with that one. I have an unburst 50s Wildwood special, I always like the unburst, but I like the 50s neck so it’s perfect for me! Great video as always I love this shit 🔥🎸⚡️.I could watch it all day long. I like the longer videos. Always great content, thanks again, Collin !
