Budget priced GIBSON LES PAUL gets some grunt

[@GraemeCampbellMusic]

Very nice indeed. Love what you've done with it. Years ago I had a Westbury Standard that had Dimarzio SD in it, always liked them.

[@ima640]

That's another cool guitar dunsy, with the dimarzio super distortion in the bridge, it just screams rocking machine at me. thanks for posting.

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Yeah, most definitely a Rocker now! Thanks a lot for checking it out, much appreciated.

[@davepatterson4774]

If memory serves me correctly, I originally found your channel while researching the HB DC Specials and you were doing a comparison between one of them and this one (?). I've always wanted one of these, but I've resigned myself to no more P90'S. This is a game changer. With the routing accommodating humbuckers, I will be searching. As always, great playing and great info, sir. Cheers!

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Definitely a great call having enough room for a couple of humbuckers in there - not sure why they did it this way (but I’m glad that they did!). Maybe just the way they had the jigs set up on the production line for other guitars? £27 for a new pickguard and that the only work needed. Although you have to enlarge the hole for the pickup on the guitar a bit.

[@davepatterson4774]

@DunsysGuitarWorld done deal.

[@ThePaddedPedalroom]

Great video Dunsy, fantastic production. Love the jam, sounds killer! 👍

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Thank ya, Sir - yeah I'm really liking the combination of the pickups. Covers loads of styles.

[@ThePaddedPedalroom]

@@DunsysGuitarWorld Right on!

[@johnwebb2562]

FAB Guitar and content, something about that tone you got there , it's Killer. Best Regards. John.

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Thanks John, appreciate you checking it out.

[@JD-vj4go]

Nice! The super distortion is a great pickup. The blue and cream look great. Sounded fantastic too.

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Yeah, I have a couple of guitars with that pickup in the bridge position, always sounds good. And I thought the cream was a definite improvement over the black plastics - looks cool!

[@Murphy_R9]

He should have went black for the P90 so the cream dimarzio' stood out even more giving it a more Hot rodded look🤘

[@GRBAquatics]

Very Cool, Thankyou Dunsy. Amazing Guitar and Loved the 'Jam Track solo' at end, Awesome as always. All the Best. Cheers

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Thank you sir - always appreciate your support. Hope all is good.

[@standingbadger]

Great sounding junior! I thought you got close to the 'rebel, rebel' tone when you first demoed the middle position. Hope you gig it plenty!

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

The pickups work really well together, glad I went ahead and changed the bridge one out - the P90 was good, but I just felt I needed something a bit more powerful for The Rock!

[@Chimp_No_1]

Always interesting videos and exquisite playing ! Thank you so much for sharing !

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks a lot for checking it out 👌

[@andybarrons323]

Smashing guitar, Dunsy. I’m fond of a widdle, myself! 😅. Mrs B has recently approved and signed off on some Guitar Vouchers. So, being lucky enough to live within striking distance of the London Gibson Guitar Garage I’ll head in before or after Christmas to get my hands on something similar. Yours looks and sounds great.

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Nice!! Stamped and approved, nothing better 👌

[@HankMartin-ll4pi]

Very nice guitar it reminds me of Gibson Sonic…I love P90 pickups 🎼🎶🎸

[@johnpulaski3293]

Middle position is aces!

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

I think these pickups work really well together - looks cool too!

[@gringopig]

Cant beat a blues widdle lol. Great guitar. Great sound! ❤❤❤

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Thank ya Sir - cannot beat the safety of the blues widdle!

[@derekclacton]

Always really did like the guitar - remember seeing your original video - the P90 / humbucker bridge is a great combo. Tom Scholz was on to something there. Don’t know if he was the first big name to do that but his Les Paul was the first time I saw it 👍 Ps - love the blues jam! 🎸👏🙂

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Yeah, I like the power from the SD and a bit more smoothness from the P90. Covers lots of bases/bass's. Is that the correct use of a comma there? I highly doubt it!

[@darrenedwards9562]

I like to see Gibson or Epiphone do these in a solid gloss body and different pickup options. The Super Distortion sounds great BTW- I've never had one, but like the idea of slapping one into an Epiphone Les Paul bridge.

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Really nice guitars for the money - nothing fancy, just a bare bones rocker. Definitely worth checking out the Super Distortion, I've always liked them.

[@stevendavidson391]

Nice combination of pickups

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Yeah, I think they work really well together.

[@stevendavidson391]

@DunsysGuitarWorld I like a P90 on my guitars

[@davelewis4215]

Sounds really good 👍🍺

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

I really like this combination of pickups.

[@george-wg6ug]

DiMarzio SD in the bridge, solid mahogany body and fixed neck. What's not to like at that price. Nice colour as well to be fair. 👍

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Yeah, with the discount for being the end of line, I thought it was pretty good value.

[@jltrem]

Love Dunsy's accent when he says "Gibson 'deluxe' tuners". As a Yank I'd say "dee-lucks". Dunsy says "dollocks". I want to become a Scotsman.

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Always welcome here - bring an umbrella though!

[@jltrem]

@@DunsysGuitarWorld After what the dolts here put back in the White House I'm damned tempted. The wife's mother's name was Calhoun. Might give us some cred.

[@nellayema2455]

Nice! I wanted one of those, but could never find a deal. They always seem to be priced around $1000 or more USD around me--even used.

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

My friend has one of the single pickup Jr’s - really nice too. I sometimes see them for a little less $

[@centaurus5676]

Did you have the wah engaged in the blues play through? Santana tone in the middle position and a Brian Robertson, Jonny the fox era tone on the SD.

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

I think it was a treble booster in front of the Fender Champ - definitely had a bit of “honk” in it. I use that profile a lot on the Kemper.

[@centaurus5676]

@@DunsysGuitarWorld Ah! ok thanks.

[@650thunderbird]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@ZalMoxis]

Sounds pretty damn good to me.....

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Most definitely a Rocker!

[@jerrywatt6813]

That puppy needs a tortoiseshell pock guard mate otherwise Brilliant cheers !

[@Murphy_R9]

I like it but it would look better(as in more hot Rodded) if the neck P90 was black not cream.🤘

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Ah, good call. I might try that.

[@Murphy_R9]

@@DunsysGuitarWorld It will look like a single Humbucker LP junior that way. Gibson's Mod shop sometimes sells them and they look great and sell fast!

[@RavenMadd9]

You need a guitar shed buddy?.....Nice guitar😊

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Nah nah, this was bought in 2020 - it’s on the official inventory! 👌

[@henrywilliam971]

Pickguard??Pickguard??Is that like scratchplate??Nice guitar tho!

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

Very similar, just different spelling 😆. Always wanted a blue and white guitar 👌

[@DuncanMcArthur-l7l]

is it the name again you could get something better for the price or lower 🤔

[@DunsysGuitarWorld]

I liked the blue colour!

[@DuncanMcArthur-l7l]

@DunsysGuitarWorld for me not on a Gibson or any guitar ha ha
