I think the playing with a bit of overdrive really showcases exactly what a PAF Les Paul is all about and why it is special. A couple of mine have PAF clones, scatter-wound, low output pickups and they are my favorite guitars. They aren't 59s but they do a great job of replicating that tone.

I agree with you - Gibson has stepped their game up big time. I’ve recorded with an authentic ‘59 on two albums and recently bought a 2019 ‘59 reissue. Gibson really nailed the reissue. They’re so close in tone and appearance. The standards they’re producing are incredible as well - vintage look and feel with some modern character!

Why can't Gibson atleast manufacturer custom buckers for sale by them selves or put a version like them in standards? That way we get closer to that sound. Which is what we all are going for with a 59 style les paul. I have a standard 50s with burstbuckers. They sound no where near like that no matter what you do. Its lame if you ask me. But I hear some custom buckers sounding like that. Funny fender can make even a 900$ guitar that has a chance of sounding close to a real 50s model. And Gibson can't even do it for 2499$. And if you get a hand select top like I did. Its about 3200$ after taxes and shipping. Yay me. Now I gotta buy 500$ pickups on top of that to get it to do what I want. Thanks Gibson! I think I'll stick to my vintage acoustics and only buy vintage Gibson still. Every time I give them a chance on modern gear. They let me down.
@johndutton58812 жыл бұрын
I just bought a standard 50 with burst buckers that sounds incredible.my top is almost identical to this one.i can honestly say I've never heard any pickups that sound as good as the ones on my new lp and I can assure you that any tiny fraction of a tone difference would not be worth half a million.hell even the 490's in my new sg sound amazing.i own a lot of gibsons 90's ,early 00's , and 2010's and I can say that this year's models that I've purchased just sound better than anything else I've ever owned.some guitars will always sound and play better than others. now I will say that Gibson neck bindings have gotten a little sloppy like on my new sg but it sounds and plays too good to send back and risk getting something that I don't enjoy playing so I'll just deal with it nothings perfect.

@@johndutton5881 the burst buckers are not bad pickups. They just don't do those overtones or snarl like a tele on steroids. They sound like a straight forward high end humbucker. Mines top and back looks exactly like a custom shop 59. I searched for 2 years and finally found one. Its not a bad example. I promise if you play custom buckers they sound more like the guitar in this video. Can I get great sounds out of them yes. But they don't do that.

Quick question; the new Les Paul Standard 50's tries to Replicate this 1959 era. They give 2 different options for pickups; the burstbuckers and the 57 pickups. Most people say the 57s are too tinny and belong in the semi hallows-335s. In your option, which one of those 2 would get in the ballpark as this guitar and which ones come stock in this beautiful guitar you guys are showcasing in this video?

Those peoples are explaining you and are trying to convince us that this piece of wood, because that is exactly what it is has a value of 250 to 300 thousand of dollars. The guy with the leather apron and the tools behind him is the cherry on the cake! on an acoustic or classical guitar i might be convinced by high price, the instrument stand on its own and the craftsmanship is unique, the carving of the wood, the gluing, the type of wood etc… but an electric guitar, where is the sound coming from, the guitar, the fender amp or a combination of both?
@bigbossman45472 жыл бұрын
It is a common mistake (if I may say so) to ask the "why" question. You neither pay for the wood nor the craftmanship. You pay for what the world of collectors have turned these guitars into. Look at (specific) vintage cars, look at (specific) Rolex watches - same pattern. A $100k Rolex watch does nothing but tell you the time.... and that less precise than a $50 Quartz watch. Market value.....
