This was great thanks. Really enjoyed it. Definitely do a session v studio comparison.

I think it looks fantastic without the binding, and sounds great. Oddly enough, while I'm ok with owning a bunch of Strats and Teles and such, I'm good with my one LP. It plays beautifully, and I love the neck and sound.

Ive got an Epi SG wirh P90s I snagged used, and honestly, after a little tweaking, I've got it doing anything I'd ever want a Les Paul for anyway, so I'm gonna keep being a cheapass and hang on to it 😅

I dig it.. I always felt like the studio at 1500 and the standard at 3000 was such a huge jump, so an option between is nice to have..

Good choice of guitars to compare , im a Tele player looking for a guitar with hum buckers. The clean tones were very revealing.. The Custom sounded less open with more warmth bass/bottom end and focused. Im starting to wonder if weight impacts tone more then I thought.

I bought a new Gibson LP Studio in September and a new Studio Session in December. Both are absolutely amazing guitars but the Session is my favorite of the two because of the ebony fretboard and the 57 Classic pickups. The fit and finish is perfect on both and the setup out of the box was pretty solid, just minor intonation adjustments needed. I changed the knobs on both of mine to speed knobs because they make using the push/pull pots easier to use in my opinion. I think Gibson really knocked it out of the park with the new Studio models!

When people talk about vintage being better they are not reffering to guitars from the 80s or even the 70s . Vintage refers to 50s and 60s . People don't really refer to guitars from the 80s as vintage even though they technically are due to their age . A Gibson from the 70s and 80s are usually very different in spec compared to the 50s and 60s .

That Studio sounded AWESOME!!! The Custom sounds like a stand alone non comparable entry, though. Different personalities all around, BOTH phenomenal!!! I have a Epiphone GoldTop Les Paul Standard myself that I bought 3 years ago and LOVE!!!

A fun video to watch. I thought both Les Pauls sounded great. The sound versatility of the new Studio is nice. I wish I could get over the lack of body binding.

@hybridnoisebloom Ай бұрын

Not giving you any ideas or anything but I struggled to like the Gibson format but couldn't do it, so I put together a Tele-Gib partscaster and that has become my LP. I won't even consider LPs anymore. You could do an offset with a mahogany body and neck with two PAFs and it might just be the LP guitar you're looking for. Cheers, great video!

@realxandercuck Ай бұрын

@hybridnoisebloom I'm kind of one step ahead of you but it's not a partscaster and Idk if we'll make a video about it

@Robstafarian Ай бұрын

A chunky, 24.75"-scale-length conversion neck should be on that list as well. I would probably go with a Wilde L-90 (precursor to the famous L-500) set or a Railhammer Humcutter Nuevo 90 set rather than a typical PAF set.

@michaelheller8841 Ай бұрын

The Studio session looks and sounds great. So many sounds you can get out of it. That out-of-phase sound you never heard of? is the Peter Green sound, but I think you were kidding lol. The Gibson Session I would call your one out on the road, almost unlimited sounds. Is it Strat or Tele sounds? no, but it's simulated and still usable. For 2k? there's a lot under the hood.

@ZakuKun Ай бұрын

I think the vintage has a little more low-mid frequency in the pickups but they sound incredibly similar. Both great guitars, no "winner" imo.

@geneevans7885 Ай бұрын

The new studios are the best les Paul’s this year. I would favor the custom only because I remember the feel of those things.

@mooseymoose Ай бұрын

If I were to get a LP style guitar (which I won't) then I'd go with an Eastman SB 59/V. Beyond custom shop and with an actual shellac varnish which; good luck finding that option. Price about the Studio Session or less. Cool review though.

This comment is purely support, as I cannot play any Gibson guitar due to their neck pitches and nut widths. This channel's theme music suddenly came to mind earlier today, and I cannot help noticing when this was uploaded.

@Eric-nn9xf Ай бұрын

The Custom just has mojo to the tone that the Studio does not have. If you put the Custom pickups into the Studio, i'd be surprised to hear an A/B comparison of that. Custom vs the Studio with the Custom pickups in each guitar. That would really debunk whether or not it has more to do with the pickups or not. Personally I think the age of the wood has a lot to do with it as well. Anyway, just a suggestion but it would be a cool video. You'd probably piss some people off at Gibson lol.

@plaidallergy Ай бұрын

was just thinking of doing a phase-inverted thing on mine! xander made it sound rad

@Robstafarian Ай бұрын

I recommend adding a switch to combine both pickups in series: both in series with reverse polarity can be extremely cool. A Free Way Model 3X3-05 toggle selector switch might suit you if you would like to try both.

For some reason.. I always think I need a Les Paul. Then I buy one, hate it, sell it. .. then go back to my Tele and Jazzmaster 🤔

@Acoustic_Music-h6x Ай бұрын

The sound difference is too minimal to mention. People like old guitars because they like that worn look and perhaps the emotions that come with history. In a scientific study professional players could not statistically differentiate very old violins from new ones by the sound.

@realxandercuck Ай бұрын

@@Acoustic_Music-h6x the emotions are the main reason I still play my old 87. We've been through a lot together.

@Robstafarian Ай бұрын

With respect, violins are not commodity products to anywhere near the same degree as solid-body, electric guitars.

@bucklberryreturns Ай бұрын

@@RobstafarianTell Stradivarius owners that. To play one you need to find someone to loan you it, and manage to get insurance cover in basically every case. I'm assuming you mean numbers wise (tonnes of old guitars at often silly prices), but consider collectable violins are much, much older, and also more susceptible to damage. As such, they just don't exist in comparable numbers.

@Robstafarian Ай бұрын

@@bucklberryreturns My point was that violins are more likely to be constructed to high standard than are solid-body, electric guitars. As such, there may be more variance among the latter.

As I am approaching 40 and having done the Les Paul thing as a teenager...they can be great guitars but right now is the least interested I've ever been in them. Which I think is antithetical to the middle-aged stereotype. So yay me, breaking molds.

Of Course Paul Reed Smith is going to tell you new guitars are better his income depedends on people believing that . He lost his credibility on the matter when he started talking magical and rare tone woods only he had access to.
