What supposed reputable guitarist doesn't even have an acoustic guitar???

the guy who uploaded this original video is probably dead now but a more obvious solution is to just remove the bigsby tremolo arm completely ......fixes both weight and string tension 👍

Intro couple times sounded like a ukulele. PS Looks like someone has too much time and money on their hands.

Good info about real vs fake but the constant clack, clack, clacking of your rings on these beautiful finishes shows everyone that you have little respect for your instruments, I wouldn't even let you pick up my Les Paul or one of my fake beaters for that matter.

I have a 75 Ibanez custom. I changed the tuners and pickups. It's amost 49 years old, it plays like a dream. The binding is flawless and tight. Everything is solid. It's not as good as my gibson. It is chambered, it does not sustain quite as long, and clean, it has no chance against my gibson. But I love it. It's just fun to play and cranked,it sounds fantastic. I just love the character of it. They are rare and vintage and are now selling for 5 times what I paid in the early eighties.

Your audio sucks. Very amateurish.

To this day, I can't understand why it is that they discontinued these stunning products...I bought a Royale RL3 Amber Finish in 2016 (?, could've been a year later, too) and it's the biggest bang for the buck, guitarwise, that I ever got! I still go back watching the presentation video done by late Mr. Bennett himself, which won me over from his explaining the construction and design decisions that went into these instruments. Not only did I learn a ton about guitars in the first place, but this way also established the foundation for a solidly informed assessment as to what affordable seni-acoustic to get at the time. Turns out that Mr. Bennett had done this awesome a job that in the end the Royals RL-3 won over an Ibanez AS JVM 90, which would have been twice the price and offering little to no advantage over the RL3. I guess the slightly smaller form factor at no sacrifice in tone helped with that purchasing decision. Nice presentation on your part!

Have you ever seen a Les Paul Special with 5 points, like a crown, on it? Trying to work if it's fake or not. Can't find another one like it.

I have a blue-burst baldwin version of that. I threw in a double hotrail pickup, and using the top 6 of a 7-string set of 10's. I swapped bridges to one with an adjustable 3&2 string saddle, to get it tuned.

Those robot tuners are the biggest load of crap I’ve ever seen. What were they thinking.

Slash has a Les Paul made by Kris Derrig in California, not Gibson, and was used on Appetite LP.

If the guitar didn't require you to take out a 2nd mortgage it probably is a fake.

If the headstock says Res Paul it is a fake.

I have that same famous photo of the men having lunch atop a skyscraper in a poster frame!!

Hi,Made in.

🔴Sounds great, I want to buy one. Thanks for te video! Do you know how much it weighs?

The screws that hold the PU rings also. real are smaller flat head. Fake are allway's larger oval head.

B70 is spot on, for a guitar with trapeze tailpiece

If you're paying $2000 plus for a used Les Paul and get scammed how much more or less would an authentic Gibson cost from a reliable seller ?

Hey Nick, I have one of those guitars It's awesome. Nice video bro.

So when do we get to see the finished item? 😊

Very warm sounding without being muddy, but not much bite.

I got one of these at a flea market not knowing what i bought

It doesn’t. Plus, why is everyone comparing the sound of distortion when it’s mostly the amp, or pedal? It’s the FEEL of the guitar that determines the vast superiority of a Gibson, especially over the HB DC, which I also own, and it’s not that great to play. NO COMPARISON.

Either black or chrome covers , them pickups look like epiphones ugly out of the spare basket look ,

I love the Greco guitars, I have 5 of them.

The fact that the sound or playbility is not something to discern the guitars apart tells volumes about the nature of big brands and the money they want to sell you one of their products.

........Gibson had such a sonic success with the RD bass especially......in my opinion......the average joe is so one-track minded - I've compared those basses Leland Sklar has boosted......I think Gibson's RD bass is better......roll on Ghost.....tell Ghost to add an RD bass to their sonic landscape..... 12:36

I bought this exact model and finish a few years back. Love the feel of the neck, tall frets and especially that ebony board. I did surgery on mine, hot-rodded with a real Gibson tune-o-matic bridge, Duesenberg Les Trem, CTS pots, Switchcraft jack and switch, Graph Tech Ratio locking tuners, String Butler, and a Dean Baker ACT pickup in the bridge, which was/is a huge upgrade (IMO) over the stock Nostalgia model bridge pickups, and left that neck pickup stock as it sounds great. Anyway, years later this is still one of my favorite guitars in my collection, it plays fantastic.

How much does the TE70 weigh? How does the neck compare to the Fender James Burton Artist Telecaster U shape neck?

Well its 2024 and the sticker on the back of mine is still perfect. this guitar is great i don't know what anyone is talking about.

Does any know where part 3 is?

BOCCHI THE ROCK INTENSIFYINGGG

Didn’t want to hear what those gold foiled pickups sounded like anyways.

Noise may be from lighting

fun fact first 100 or so say “NOMAL” instead of “NORMAL” on front panel

Great review. So good that players are seeing past the headstock labels and seeing how good these things are. Artist guitars are great. I got one after seeing reviews by Shane too. The new AT 92-93 updates have improved 'em too. Nice belly cut, wrist contour and cuts the weight a bit!

What are Ibanez 1975-76? 2650 black beauty with correct diamond headstock and OHSC Worth?

Very instructive video. I was almost buying one B70 to put into my LP. I think I´ll quit. I would hate having to deal with tuning issues and I don´t think roller bridges looks nice in a classic point of view.

lol funny guy in this video

First of all. The Greco not a fake Gibson. It’s a Greco and second of all it’s not a Chinese Gibson. Both made in different country’s

There out of stock right now until June 2024. But as soon as they come back in stock, I’m ordering one asap

got one, love it. it is heavy though. that aside, it has a way thicker sound than a tele

Is this better than the Harley Bentons version of the les Paul?

How would it differ in sound to the Harley Benton SC Junior?

as much as I love bixby and lespauls I dont love the 2 together

Similar body to the 70s Guild jet but with fender style neck

Hey im 14 years old right now and that was my first electric guitar but mine was gray 4 guitars later now im with a gibson sg 😢 i loved that guitar i wish i never sold it and hi from south africa

Pickups sound thin and cheap. It's even worse with overdrive. Yikes.

WOW, Aussies really are different!! It's "WOWZA" here in the States!!!
