The Neck Pickup on a proper good Les Paul is so great! It doesn't get enough appreciation, imo. Beautiful sounds. That's what makes a Les Paul an amazing guitar.

@Hublot Whore334 no doubt his willingness to just absorb and expand on still pay tribute even with his my idea is out ahead of my fingers style, gives it tension that I don't think anyone came close to. Still..if you asked him back then..I think maybe Peter Green's name might of come up..Of course he sang as well. I saw him touring the 2 album in early 70. I went to see him really but I walked out blown away by John Paul Jones and Bonham. BTW he liked his tele..

It takes incredible skills to write music and the riffs of Jimmy Page. The same riffs that almost all of us can relate to and love. Other guitarists can be technically better, but do we remember them or like them even in the same ballpark? That's the whole key, a song we can all relate too.

Uncontrollable feedback from Captain in the intro. These pickups are finally close to the real thing.... I played a 1960 at Gruhns and it howled and screamed. The original PAF weren’t wax potted. So they actually react very similarly

I love Custombuckers, but this confirmed my fears… uncontrollable feedback is kind of a deal breaker for playing loud and live. But at home with normal volumes… you can’t beat that tone.

These look and sound fabulous! How do they fare, tone wise, against regular Custom Shop VOS models? Has there been something done, besides the aging, to make them more resonant, have better sustain etc? Are the pickups the same Custom Buckers or have they been specially hand-wound by some maestro? In other words, is there anything besides the aging that makes these guitars worth the premium over standard Custom Shop ones?

Now that Tom is basically a Gibson employee, how do the “Lab” guitars differ from his previous work with Wildwood and other dealers please?

[@djt6546]

Captain Lee I reckon you are correct with the newer CS ‘59 reissues. Whether it’s the 2019 60th anniversary ‘59 LP or the ML aged versions. I swear there is extra go go juice in the ‘59’s compared to the other year models. Perhaps Gibson is winding the PuP’s just a tad bit hotter to give that extra oomph for their flagship LP! I have a new ML Light aged ‘59 LP which is going to replace a 2019 60th anniversary ‘59 LP but both singing louder with more oomph than a 2020 ‘58 and 2020 ‘60 I have. My ML is a rare weight at 7lbs 15oz, so I don’t see weight as an influencing factor. I also setup all my guitars the same way in terms of relief, action and PuP height relative to strings. As is often the case, it could just be the individual guitars, but sometimes it seems like a pattern is emerging the more serial numbers you play 🙂 I cannot wait for the Andertons team to keep trying more CS LP’s for the comparison videos to come. I’m very interested to see if you find a pattern of traits between CS LP product lines... 👍

"If you don't hit it, you'll never know" definitely sounds like something Les Paul would say. But he'd probably be referring to his female bass player 😂. What a mind he had (in more ways than one). He really did move the music world forward in important and massively significant ways. R.I.P. (the legendary and much appreciated) Lester Polsfuss.

[@ferrinbonn]

If people had a $500 Epiphone that howled and fed back like that they'd be rushing to swap out the pickups. Same thing happens on a $10k guitar and they act like it's a good thing.

[@kitoyobeni1]

I was trying to tell if was the pickups or the chained overdrives causing that feedback. Regardless, not a selling point for me, as if I could afford one of these anyway. Love that subtle burst look though...

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

@Mark Seymour yeah, and it was awesome. Unpotted pickups are more prone to feedback, just what they do, can mitigate it a tad by a few spots of silicone on the bobbin/cover gap. Horses for courses. I like my lesters, i like the sound. Its cool if you don't.

[@dustyboi8975]

I tend to agree. I do kind of like a little bit of the feedback effect you can get from unpotted pickups. But that sounded pretty bad. It Can sound somewhat flashy when in a demonstration jam but imagine dealing with that when you’re trying to just practice. There’s a reason the potting process was invented

[@stratdoc]

The Decibel meter is jumping into 120 at times and they are sitting in front of the amps with drives out front..not ideal for an old unpotted PAF! You watch Bonamassa he finds the exact spot on the stage to grab the feedback/sustain when he wants it. But at those volumes..

Notice the constant reference to "Murphy Lab" and not "Tom Murphy built these"; Tom will have no more than a passing interest in these, perhaps at inspection stage, but he certainly will not have had a hand in putting it together nor the relic'ing either.
