Spectacular guitar...great playing...kudos !

[@PaulCush]

Hey thanks!

[@Flametopology]

What are you playing thru? Great sounding axe btw!👍

[@PaulCush]

Hi there! Believe it or not, it's a Marshall MG15 practice amp. Absolutely perfect for these demos, doesn't need to be overly loud, so won't distort (in a bad way). Pretty much emulating a full cranked amp without blowing my eardrums. Thanks for the comment! Cush.

[@Flametopology]

It really does sound very Marshall-like for sure... I never would have thought that little amp would sound so darn good. My main rig is an '83 JCM800 50 that I use with my R9 and your little amp sounds every bit as good! Heck I just may need to get one! 😊. Nice to hear back from you buddy. Thanks so much!

[@PaulCush]

Awesome rig, man! And my pleasure. Now go buy one! 😅 Cush.

[@satriawidjajaa]

Beautiful! What amp and effect used on this one?

[@PaulCush]

Hi there! Marshall MG15 straight in, no effects 😎

[@satriawidjajaa]

@@PaulCush amazing! Those pearly gates sure sounds like a jacked up tele 😆 Anyway i've seen so many videos of people use PG pickups with hi gain distortion and they fail to grasp what those pickups was supposed to sound like 💔 so far your video was the best. Keep it up man! 🚀

[@PaulCush]

Thanks very much!

Wheres the disrortion

[@PaulCush]

Can't please everyone, sorry about that. These are just quick product demos to show potential buyers that the guitar is in working order and I'm a genuine seller. Fyi; this guitar sold last year.

Its still got the Chinese sticker on the pickguard chibson! Sweet guitar however

[@PaulCush]

Hi there. You're completely wrong, sorry. This is a genuine Gibson USA Custom Shop. Feel free to check out my Sold Listings page at www.cushmicsounds.com for full details before making a stupid statement like that. Fyi; the sticker is original to the guitar.

[@jeffreymiddleton4063]

Sounds like a les paul billy gibbons not jimmypage cool

I looked on the website to see the cost of this Les Paul. I think anyone that would pay 25 grand for a Gibson guitar is insane. If you pay this price you need your head read 3 times over mate. Some people I guess would be complete idiots.

[@PaulCush]

And that's your opinion mate. On the international market, they are worth big $$$ and people pay for them. My customer was over the moon, a lovely guy, a huge fan of ZZ Top. We spoke for over an hour on the phone after his purchase. He just wanted to pass on his appreciation for how well presented the guitar was and for my A1 service. What's better, is my client got their money and I received my small share for the consignment - Everyone was happy! I really don't understand why people like yourself feel the need to pass on just how upset you are over something that has absolutely nothing to do with you and will have no effect what so ever on your daily life. Didn't your Mum teach you "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all" ?? I guess not. I'm running my own business from the ground up, dealing with high-end and vintage guitars worth big money. My attention to detail and and service to my clients and customers is second to none. Lastly, no one is stupid or insane for paying a large sum of money for a highly collectable instrument - if ya know, ya know, ya know? Feel free to check out all of my Sold Listings. 32 of those guitars were sold from Jan '23, so yeah plenty of people out there with money wanting to buy! Let me ask you, can you tell me the difference between a Ford Falcon and a Ferrari. I'll wait... Have a good one! Cush.

I own several Gibson guitar Les Pauls. My guitars sound just the same as this one. I am 71 and being guitar for a bloody lifetime and I bloody well know guitars. How people spend their money is their business obviously. I own 4 Gibson quality guitars for the price of this one. Gibson is charging ripoff prices for these guitars. Isn't funny that none of these people that buy a guitar like this, aren't famous. Just like that old bloke in England from Bob and Ramon Goose KZbin channel. Bob owns 3 or 4 1959 Gibson les Pauls. All valued at 500k USD. This guy is ridiculous. What's the bloody point of owning these ultra expensive guitars when you are that age? Playing an extravagantly expensive guitar doesn't make you Billy Gibbons. I just think it's pointless to pay 24k for a guitar like this.

[@michel333100]

8Bomb guitars in Belarus makes a les paul just as good or better than this for 3 or 4k

[@PaulCush]

It's pointless getting into a debate over this. You have your views, and that's fine. Enjoy your Gibson guitars and don't lose sleep over people spending their hard earned money. By the way, you never answered my question so here's another - what makes certain paintings more expensive than another?

[@michel333100]

I don't really care how people spend their money . Yes, that's a great les paul, but 25k? I wouldn't pay it even if I had that kind of money. I honestly don't think those guitars are the Ferrari of Les Pauls. Way over priced . I am not bent out of shape over how people spend their money. Just making a comment about it.
