These 90's Gibson LP Customs are some of the greatest ever made imo

[@cliffj33]

I have a first year Les Paul Custom and I have had it since 1958 . I loved it then and although I have 29 guitars now , I still like it the best of all and can make it sound like every guitar ever made . Wouldn't sell it for the world .

[@adriang.7017]

Wow, nice to hear that!

[@cliffj33]

@David Wang I would too . I played it at a break at Gypsy Villiage . It was the guitar of the lead guitar of the Sultans . I told him if he ever wanted to sell it , I would give him more than anybody else for it . He forgot and traded it in for a 355 TD and , fortunately , I went to school with 2 back up singers for the Sultans and they told me ... I was only 14 but I took a bus to Durlaufs and bought it . never regretted it

[@bodichair]

I feel ya brother , I have a wall of guit fiddles but when the rubber meets the road; I have my 1972 Triple Pickup BB, I myself purchased. The Paul is number 1.

[@ignskeletons]

That particular guitar has such a distinct tone.

[@andy_182]

any guitar with the same pickups will sound the same

[@johnnygonzales3211]

No place on earth and no guitar brands no matter the price the 10 top bologna will they sound like this beast I’m getting me one😜

[@emendoz1]

I remember my 1972 black beauty with gold hardware like it was yesterday. I weep every time I remember how I sold it for peanuts years ago.

[@paulbritcher1278]

Sweet-a-mondo Man got a 93 myself and do not get to hung up on possessions and things but my Les I do all the best!!!

Thank you!

Spectacular guitar, dude...kudos !

Your sound and playing is killer. Nice!

[@adriang.7017]

Thank you!😊

[@brushstroke3733]

Guitar tone sounds amazing, and good job playing and demoing the sound. The Kemper tone also sounds great. Thanks for uploading this - you have inspired me to check out those Kemper profilers more now.

[@pietrosmusi3081]

That guitar sound unbelievable

[@serumq]

sounds AMAZING..

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

I would take a 2021 Epiphone Custom Koa Les Paul over the Gibson all day long..

[@rockhead69]

Gotta have your brain cat scanned asap, dude...

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

@@rockhead69 no one wants gibson anymore buddy better get with the times the end for Gibson came when JC Curliegh Restored Epiphone back to high end in 2019/2020 so no I don't need a kat scan but you might Epiphones rule over Gibson once again just like they did in the good o'l days get used to it not going to change oh by the way the only reason why your GIBSON solid body Les Paul guitar even exists today is because of Les Paul and Epiphone..I suggest you research first before you spew laughable BS

[@MoeVanprick]

​@@rockhead69no way on any Gibson it's Epiphone for me also the true legend

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

@@rockhead69 no I meant what I said and many others behind with this you Gibson boys should have always known that one day epiphone would be restored back to premium and it would be over for Gibson and that's exactly what happened 😁

brutal, what a freaking nice sound, well played as well you shreeeed

I love it that the strings are hanging out from the E string

[@junes2k]

hot damn, the tone on this thing is ridiculous.

[@Lacuerdaalaire]

Sounds great

[@westrose7525]

Nice

[@Shout640]

Love the axe man!, got that same exact guitar just the epiphone version, i hope i could get a real one some day if my bank will allow me too. lol -Aidan

[@adriang.7017]

I was in the same situation. I had the Epiphone Custom before owning the original. I eventually managed to get it. It's just a matter of time. Good luck!

[@ahmadshani6682]

Love Gibson

[@thiagoborsari7364]

Great playing and killer sounding guitar.

Thank you very much, Thiago!

[@samuelsinclair9381]

I watch this video to remind myself why I'm saving for a Les Paul.

[@adriang.7017]

You will own one someday, for sure.

excellent

Great play, great guitar I want that too.

[@mrchuckington6260]

Sweet

[@johnkonstantine9115]

Nice.Just got a 2009 with 490/498 pups which i prefer. 57' classics are sweet but a bit bright for me. Best damn guitar I've ever played. But to be fair Kempers make even shit guitars sound good.

[@S-band_boya]

カスタムらしい芯のある良い音がしますね。^o^

[@MartinGonzalez-il8gy]

Que rico suena

[@jamesturner811]

Great clip and tone! Did you find the Faber hardware a noticeable upgrade on tone?

[@adriang.7017]

Thank you! Yes, the difference is quite big. The guitar became alive with the Faber hardware: inserts, ABR bridge with brass saddles and aluminium tailpiece. I have tested some other hardware too from ABM and Philadelphia luthier and, in my opinion, Faber is the best.

[@crunchtester]

Awsome playing sir! And the tone is ....... outstanding! Can you please tell me what profile you are using in this video?

[@adriang.7017]

Thank you very much! I have no idea what profile I used in the recording. I sold my Kemper. The profile was surely a Marshally type and the reverb was added from my DAW.

[@crunchtester]

@@adriang.7017 OK. Thanks anyway for your superfast answer. You should really buy a Kemper again, because the tone in your video is unreal. There`s no amp on planet Earth that can compete with that sound. Not even close!

[@adriang.7017]

@@crunchtester Well, I sold my kemper and bought two amps. I am now using a Moeer GE300 when recording at home. It sounds really great and it is, at least to my ears/hands, more sensitive than the kemper.

[@jamesbutterson5218]

💚🎸🤘👌💨☕

[@bodichair]

Okay folks question? Very long story shortened: My 1972 LP BB Custom was damaged during transport . it called for repaint. Unfortunately the serial number was removed. Fortunately Im the original owner and managed to keep the receipt with the serial number. How can I get this No. Restamped ?

[@adriang.7017]

You need someone who paints guitars. Or you could try to do it yourself. But, since the 70s models had some gold lettering, it may be a bit difficult. If you want to sell it, it may worth the trouble, otherwise I suggest just to keep the receipt.

[@markwilliams5606]

Gibson Les Paul. Enough said

A black beauty isn't just a black guitar it's a 1957 or a modern replica and has three pickups😜

[@michel333100]

Hi, just wanted to ask a question about your pickups. Are they Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates or stock Gibson 490R and 498T?Thanks Michael Newell from Niagara Falls,,Ontario, Canada

[@adriang.7017]

Hi, nope, they are classic 57 and 57 plus.

[@michel333100]

@@adriang.7017 , I didn't know that classic 57 pickups came in zebra bobbins.. just a as to where you are from. Do you live in Romania? I have a Gibson Les Paul Custom that I'm going put zebra Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in. This custom of mine just sounds too muddy in the neck pickup. Always , the never ending search for tone,

[@michel333100]

@@adriang.7017 , another question I had, what amp are you using? It sounds amazing.

[@adriang.7017]

michael newell I didn’t know that either. Yeah, I live in Romania. Well, you could try, but it depends on the guitar. If your neck pickup sounds muddy you should first try to lower it down and raise the poles of the coil.

[@adriang.7017]

michael newell it’s a kemper, not an amp.

[@fp9421]

hi what amp are you using
