Gibson Modern LITE Les Paul | Honest Thoughts & Playing Samples

[@Zoso981]

I'm also a Les Paul guy, from WAY back. I just ordered this Modern Lite in the TV Wheat color., the 490R/498T are actually my favorite Gibson Pickups. Thanks for the video, I just subscribed.

[@davidyule1973]

Sounds a bit like a hybrid of LP and SG. Great review, thank you!

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

My pleasure thanks for watching!

[@anadeweerd]

I can’t wait to try one of the modern lites. They look like they would be great for small female guitar players. My big LP leaves red marks on my clavicle when I play it 😅

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

It’s pretty cool… I just got a Les Paul Studio Modern and…. Wow making a review soon!

[@1uti_size]

Que linda sua guitarra, sou um brasileiro que não falo em inglês, e nunca toquei uma gibson justamente porque sou brasileiro e fica 20x mais caro por causa dos impostos mas acho lindo as guitarras da gibson tenho medo de morrer e nunca tocar uma guitarra igual essa sua...e pra quem pode não pra quem quer. Saúde e paz pra quem leu de deu joia.

[@gmilisavljevic]

T for treble, R for rhythm

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Blonde moment there for me 😅

[@equinoxpete]

I love your tone! Especially your lead tone. What type of amp or modeling distortion are you using? Thanks, great video by the way.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Thank you! I believe I was using Mesa Boogie MKII Amp Suite by Neural DSP. Cheers!

[@equinoxpete]

@@JorgeSalasGuitar Thanks

[@chrisdigital]

Your description of having to fight the guitar is odd to me. When I pick a guitar. I want it to get out of my way. This Les Paul lite does just that. It's freaking awesome. I love it. I bought one last week.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

To each their own man! Glad you love the guitar! 🎸🤘🏼

[@chrisdigital]

@@JorgeSalasGuitar Absolutely! We all look for different things in our instruments 🙌

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Late reply but I was scrolling through some comments: I love that we each have different things to look for. I try my best to portray that in my videos and only offer my own opinion on things. How’s the guitar? Gigging with it?

[@sublyme2157]

How's the porous neck feeling after playing it for awhile? Does it ever get sticky, gunky, or shiny on you?

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Still porous! It stays pretty clean, I’d clean it every week or so though!

[@boblabahh4893]

Did you buy the hard shell? Supposed to come with soft case.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

No sir I didn’t. It came w hardcase 👍🏼

[@dragan4658]

But Jorge, you are small so the small tuners are appropriate...joke. This is the first video of yours I've seen. I sub'd. I'm considering either a Gibson Tribute or this beautiful Modern Lite in GMS! I have a heavy but amazing Agile AP 3100 goldtop with P90's but prefer the weight of my Epi Sg! I prefer the lighter guitars and this one is very nice, too bad it's not more on the gold side. Thanks for sharing!

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Haha I freaken love it. If my opinion counts, I liked the tribute more than the Modern Lite. Thanks for the comment and keep rockin!!!

[@dragan4658]

@@JorgeSalasGuitar I appreciate your input. Why did you like the Tribute better than the new Lite?

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@dragan4658 The Lite was too skinny for my taste. The Tribute had some thickness. I personally like that in my LPs.

[@dragan4658]

@JorgeSalasGuitar I see. I would probably like the Lite then, as I have an Epiphone Sg, and I like how light it is, and I like my guitars to have a belly cut. So far there are none in stock locally, so I haven't had a chance to try one yet. Thanks for your input, greatly appreciated.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@dragan4658 to each their own! Enjoy man!

[@mrmr314]

Nice guitar. Tribute is better though?

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

They are different. I think I liked it more. I get these guitars and send most back so sometimes my memory doesn’t serve me.

[@t.cole_2]

You have never had a Gibson with quality issues……lol

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

I haven’t.

[@chrisdigital]

Yeah I love Gibson and I can definitely say I've had some major issues come up. lol.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@chrisdigital that’s too bad. I’ve never had an issue come up actually. Hard to believe but I’d tell you!

[@chrisdigital]

@@JorgeSalasGuitar That's crazy! Good luck. This Gibson I just bought, the Les Paul lite is the first one I've bought that didn't need any kind of correction or need to be returned in the last 6 Gibsons I bought. I just love the way they sound and feel so I'm kind of a glutton for punishment I guess, lol. I was pleasantly surprised with this one though, can't stop playing it.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@chrisdigital you’re preaching to the choir bro! lol I have 7 right now and get them shipped in to demo often. Never found a bad one honestly!!!

[@coatesycobra]

He also doesn’t seem to know what witch hat knobs are…. I’m out on this dude.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Bye! ✌️

[@coatesycobra]

This guy says all he uses are Les Pauls and yet he has never noticed that the “poker chip” on the pickup toggle switch says “rhythm” and “treble.” ? He doesn’t know what the “R” in a 490R pickup would stand for? That seems preposterous to me. How could you be that unaware of your instrument, if it’s your favorite and you use them all the time? Makes no sense…

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Yes

[@Gretsch-s8j]

Let's start clean??? Are you deaf???

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Yes I am

[@Gretsch-s8j]

@JorgeSalasGuitar meant no offense...response was funny...I meant it sounded like it had some distortion to my ear...like your channel...thanks for videos!

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@Gretsch-s8j haha thanks man. Maybe it was on a edge of breakup tone? Either way, I don’t take things too serious or get offended. Thanks for the comment and I’m glad you enjoy the channel! I just try to show yall cool stuff as best / awkward as I am 😅

[@Gretsch-s8j]

@JorgeSalasGuitar thank you...Happy Father's Day if it applies.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@Gretsch-s8j It does. Thank you. You too!
