Commemorative Gibson Les Pauls and New Amps from Mesa Boogie! | NAMM 2025

[@keggers101]

All the comments about Gibson repeating themselves but when they tried to make a Les Paul for the 21st century they got slated. The whole reason that it is so popular is because it is what it is,there are only so many things you can change. There are plenty of people who love it for what it is

[@kaneredfern]

This. I worked in music retail in the middle of the 2010s and I can't tell you how many customers I had come in absolutely slating their new lineup (albeit we stopped stocking them because their stocking requirements became absolutely ridiculous), and here we are 10 years later with the same thing starting to crop up with people begging them to do something different before they inevitably do and then people will find fault in that too. Don't get me wrong some of the things they brought to the table clearly didn't work, like the robo tuners, wider neck profile and price increase to name a few. But I can guarantee even if they just released a Standard model where the neck heel had more of a modern sculpt, super weight relieved or they released a model with different options for wiring or different pickup configurations, you'd again have people saying "That isn't a true Les Paul! Bring the Les Paul back!!!!" Rinse and repeat.

[@stephenharrison7514]

What Gibson needs to stop doing is putting 2 piece backs on Les Paul Standards. Puts me right off.

[@JackTheSkunk]

Gibson and Fender are constantly recycling their 70 year old designs. They're not the only ones though....safety razor and toothbrush manufacturers are masters at it as well, not to mention Harley Davidson.

They are both starting to look a little bit like death to be fair. Too many shenanigans at NAMM!

[@jmledesma88]

It's funny how people love to hate on Gibson and want so see crazier stuff but when it's time to put their money where their mouth is they go for a Standard LP or a 60s Strat 😅. Worked at a guitar store for a few years and it was like that every day. Everybody loves to see the funky stuff on the walls and see that you carry all these weird brands and models but at checkout it's chicken or pasta...

[@jimwguitar3002]

So true

[@stoneysdead689]

Stop puking back up what you heard other ppl say man- did you even work at a shop- really? I doubt it, I think you heard Josh Scott say this- admit it, you're one of those JHS warriors that runs around puking back up what you heard Josh say as if it's your own sentiments. Well, when you and Josh can explain the popularity of the Explorer, the Firebird, and the Flying V- neither of which look anything remotely like a LP or a Strat- maybe you'll have a point. I would say that when Gibson gets it right and doesn't just do something different for different's sake- they sell like hot cakes. But yeah, when they make junk just to be able to say they are producing something other than Les Paul's or SGs- ppl don't buy it, go figure.

[@jmledesma88]

@ projecting much? hahahaah I worked for a bit over three years at a store, we carried both Gibson and Fender and their Custom Shops and import (Epi and Squier) and family (Kramer, Gretsch, Jackson, Charvell) brands. We also had Ibanez, PRS, D'Angelico, Yamaha, Guild, Duesenberg, Danelectro, ESP, LTD and some more. Same in acoustic plus Martin, Alhambra, Sigma and a few more, though no Taylor. As for sales, it was quite consistent. Contrary to what many people think most consumers just own one or two (electric) guitars, maybe in their lifetime. Or maybe they had some as kids but by the time they can afford a Gibson they maybe don't play as much or have other things going on in their lives. A lot of people just want the one their idols had. It's quite funny though that they'd usually go for the 60s Standard while I think it doesn't sound anything like a reissue model. But again, many were older men not having played in a while, so slimmer necks make sense I guess. It's also curious that we sold quite a lot more of Gibson's Custom Shop than Fender's CS, even being quite a bit more expensive. But well, I guess you know more of everything angry man behind a keyboard traumatised by little Josh.

[@joegearing1745]

Yeah, I went through 3 les pauls before getting a V, SG, and Explorer. I love them all, but if I had to sell them I'd get rid of the V, then the Explorer, then the SG, and I'd hang on to that les paul for as long as possible.

[@jmledesma88]

@@joegearing1745 I personally never had a Les Paul because I'm not a huge fan of the shape, or maybe I'm just to skinny and long and it just looks weird on me. Also maybe because I felt Slash which was the biggest Les Paul player I knew when I just started playing as a teen was a bit cheesy. In any case, after a few years of playing I realised I didn't want to have the same guitar as my idols and just wanted to try different things, so from the Strat I started playing with and the SG I had thereafter I went through a Squier P90Tele Custom, Epi ES345, Godin 5th Ave., Epi Sorrento, Fender Tele, Squier Jazzmaster and several acoustics until I got settled on a Casino and a Jazzmaster style P90 guitar, build by myself. But I'm far from the ordinary guy that just plays as a hobby, learns lead solos at home alone and so. I worked with a wedding band and busking for over four years and was always relating with musicians and the local music scene. In any case, after years of working at the store and, specially, after having proper Gibsons instead of Epi's in my hands daily, setting them up, unboxing, trying out and selling Custom Shop Reissues and seeing them in person every day, I started getting it. I still wouldn't get a Standard USA model and right now I can't afford a Reissue but I admit that I get it now. I get what all the fuzz is about.

Pete’s shoes are legit!

[@bjdenil]

The Bobbins were all orriginally black. They ran into an issue sorcing the same plastic and indiscriminately worked in the new white while they worked through the black. Don't know if they ordered both plastics once the black was back, but my understanding is that they were able to get it again. They dont seem to have thought much about it because no one would see but I did hear a story that one of the ladies winding them preferred zebra and one preferred double white. I think many others just didn't care. (Not sure if that last part is true, though, because it was rumormill vs. recorded.

I would argue they are doing a good job of innovation without going too crazy.

Pull the cactus out of your diapers, pop the teet out of your mouth, and grow up ppl. The world will not end because Gibson failed to launch a new guitar- "note to Mr. Little, the sky remains firmly intact!"- nor did Gibson set the world on fire with yet another Les Paul- it is what it is, but I believe we can get through this. Breathe in, breathe out... repeat.

[@Plumcraziness]

This guy has the capability to be a good presenter, but man, he really needs to educate himself about some of the fairly simple historical details (pickup construction, colours originally available on different models, etc.), and he needs to be more knowledgeable about what models and colours will be available for new launches. That's the whole point of him being there is to know that stuff, and to inform people about what is new for 2025. Also, I can't believe he didn't mention the Platypus Firebird. Hopefully he's better next year. Other than that, the guitars sound good, and I am intrigued by those P-90 DC double coil noiseless pickups in the Warren Haynes guitar. It's sounded good in all the videos I have seen so far.

Why do they think their a touch above the rest? Regardless of spec, its just the same old guitars over and over again. Its become a collectors market instead of one for players. PRS are starting to find souls for theirs guitars, its taken awhile but their quality, finishes and attention to detail on their SE range is mad. I have owned a few core but they always felt sterile and just clones - now the SE Hollowbody Piezo for example is incredible. I would like to see lee and pete be more critical and less accepting of the same old shit.
