Les Paul standard or Les Paul custom shop?

[@frettingitforward]

I would love to visit that particular store. When I made my decision to buy a Standard, I learned from one of their videos called”Les Paul vs. Les Paul vs. Les Paul etc….” I Got a Standard 👍 Cool Content Fella 🤘

@@frettingitforward thank you

If you're a metal head go for the custom shop regular Gibson Les Paul custom in ebony. Aesthetically and tonally is most fitting for you. They are making them these days better than ever in the custom shop with long tenons and comfortable c-shape necks. You can't go wrong. I would personally stay away from the R9,8,7 because they are far more expensive unless you're confined to playing classic rock, blues or jazz. The regular custom black beauty is going these days for about $5000. Pretty reasonable considering today's prices. Good luck and rock on 🤘🏻

They have a black Beaty I can rent for 300$ month custom shop

Just purchased a new Tokai Japan sg. I have gibsons and I’ve have tokais before. This sg outplays them all. This Tokai was 1200 usd.

[@markrosenquist8259]

Tokai’s are great guitars!

[@CubeZanimation]

Diminishing returns. Get the normal one and enjoy! Pretty sure 99% couldn't tell the tonal difference between the 2.

[@DestroyTheNorth]

I would've loved to pick up that white SG near the beginning of your video. Btw, if you are interested in joining a band hit me up! We're looking for a guitarist 🎸 -Titus

[@irageguitars]

@@DestroyTheNorth what genre you guys play?

[@DestroyTheNorth]

We started out as a mainly Post Hardcore and metalcore band, but now we're more free-form. Lots of inspirations from Punk, Pop Punk, Metal, Metalcore, Midwestern Emo, etc

[@irageguitars]

@@DestroyTheNorth I’m more metal head like Metallica of course,,green day and megadeath but I also like making up stuff as I play and if it sounds good I’ll hit record

[@DestroyTheNorth]

Same here! I grew up on punk rock and metal, and then fell in love with metalcore in highschool. We'd love to have you on board, you're a cool dude. You don't have to decide right away, just contact us if you're down. 🤟

[@irageguitars]

@@DestroyTheNorth honestly my dream is to be part of a band ,going on tour and living my dreams for sure. Question tho where you guys from?

[@Sams911]

For me it’s the Les Paul Custom / fuck the Murphy aging tho. Pay 10 grand for the 5A 1pc quilted top instead.

[@jeffreynichols9447]

Save up for the R9 Custom Shop.

[@irageguitars]

@@jeffreynichols9447 unfortunately due to car repairs a custom shop is not possible but I have other plans coming so stay tuned

[@falconarcadegaming5510]

Ive had a usa studio, a usa standard, and 2 custom shop les pauls (R9 and R7) There is a resonance difference that you feel through the neck when playing the reissues that doesn't exist on the USA standards probably due to the long neck tenon or the bridge screwing into the body of the guitar on small posts. That extra resonance/ vibrational response makes the reissues worth it to me. I bought my R7 on reverb for 3,000$ you just have to find someone who will go down on the price and possibly pick it up in person (paying cash). Good luck!

[@irageguitars]

I’d rather buy the reissue r9 from my guitar store I go to. It’s 10$k but I’d pay half the value of the guitar plus they told me that the reissue Les Paul’s are way better the the standards like you said.

[@falconarcadegaming5510]

@@irageguitars how do you only pay 5,000$ for a 10,000$ guitar?

[@arion316]

I really think you have Epiphone misunderstood these days, they’re high quality fantastic guitars. I have both Gibson LP Standard and Epi and they feel, sound and play identical

[@irageguitars]

I’ve played Epiphone Les Paul and Gibson Les Paul and if I’m being honest the Epiphone feels cheap and it doesn’t feel like I’m holding quality it feels like I’m holding plastic but with a Gibson Les Paul standard it feels like I’m holding high quality

[@xtyano440]

I just got the greeny few weeks ago.. I'm very happy with it!

[@irageguitars]

Ya I love my Greeny,knowing the history and story behind it makes the guitar even more valuable to me. But my Greeny is aged cuz I’ve had it since 2022 when it came out

[@jeffrywhite6008]

SG ALL DAY ALL NIGHT !

[@lawrencepatrick5760]

Gold Top Standard is timeless

[@newtonb1426]

I want to age my own guitars, I don't want someone elses crap

[@irageguitars]

@@newtonb1426 Gibson Les Paul’s are the best guitars when it comes to aging. I have my Kirk Hammett Greeny Les Paul it’s aged

[@TheColton0117]

I'm shocked they have these guitars within reach. Really nice for someone who is actually trying to buy it but everyone else, yikes. Here (USA), $1000+ guitars usually are behind counters or up high.

[@irageguitars]

Very true. When I went to guitar center during my trip they didn’t let me try out the expensive Gibson Les Paul’s lol . But my guitar store I go to all the employees know me very well and trust me

[@newtonb1426]

Maybe you can buy me a Gibson instead of a epiphone

[@coreystpeter5123]

wait until April. The custom shop is what you really want.

[@irageguitars]

Thank you for your advice and feedback I appreciate it

[@phdinnoob4196]

Plenty of good used Gibson Les Paul Customs available in Quebec. Grab an R9 for $6k

[@irageguitars]

I’m looking online don’t see any for now

[@LysanderLH]

Buy a Harley Benton and put a sticker over the name. Only you will ever know it's not a murphy lab

[@jbux1983]

Custom shop! R9

[@user-ci6nd2rt7f]

p90 gold top !!!!!!lol

[@AmbientMelancholy]

I'd definitely take a Gibson Firebird! 2:38

[@irageguitars]

I never was into the firebird but I’ll stop by the store and check it out. Thank you for your feedback:)

[@pperejma]

Don’t buy from long and mcquade. Buy from sellers in the US, got a brand new Murphy lab R0 for 8,500 landed. $15k? Get bent long and mcchode

[@michaeldutill9921]

Unless you’re a rockstar, stick with your basic Gibson , only a fool would spend $15000 on a guitar !

[@irageguitars]

I agree!

[@johnwilkes681]

The L P standard should be what it says, but hold on we can make you a better one , a custom shop, but we can make it even better , a Murphy lab, add some ageing and we can charge even more , if we keep going we will be able to replicate a real 59 burst , which should have been what the standard should have been in the first place.

[@mohannair]

Save up for the custom shop - you'll have a more interesting story to tell for your channel.
