Lesser Loved Les Paul? Maybe P-90’s Are Better!

[@jordanpratt3821]

I played guitar for 25 years before I bought a guitar with p90s.....Man was I ever missin something. Bought the SG special, and it wasnt long before I had to have the LP special.

[@davidwonpu353]

I love the new colors on this and the Deluxe. They’re both cheaper than the figured top Standards as well.

[@frankenstein4106]

Just picked up a new tobacco burst weighing 8.6 lbs, and couldn't be happier! Was thinking of a Special, but after picking it up and playing it, I had to have it!

[@tomholman4991]

at the age of 14 in 1967 my main squeeze was a 66 or 67 Epiphone Casino. Loved that guitar. P-90’s have all the tone I ever wanted.

[@ctcards2636]

My favorite combo on my LPs is a humbucker in the bridge and a hum sized P90 in the neck. Unreal how many tones you can get out of an LP like this. Add treble bleed circuit and WOWZA! I really never used the neck pickup by itself on my hum equipped guitars. So this has given me something. Other trick tho that helps me get more out of my neck humbucker is to use a .15 cab instead of a .22. It brings out more highs from the neck humbucker.

[@rexrathtar3893]

1:50 pretty certain the humbucker wasn't designed to get rid of tone...

[@gteefxr3094]

I know, hah. After he said it the second time I turned it off.

[@burchypoo70]

My first LP was am early 80's Studio in a weird teal blue color, pretty great guitar, ended up selling it. 20 years later last year I got the P90 Goldtop standard, I love this guitar!

[@mikec3454]

I think the P-90 LP is the way to go. Just makes it so versatile and it looks cool as hell too.

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

Now you're talking! Have been a P90 fan for so long. My Gold Top/P90 LP is my "go-to" LP and that burst is gorgeous.

[@dalecoffing8655]

y'all are having way too much fun! Sweet sounding guitar.

[@ovivan79]

Larry Carlton L7V BK is the guitar you described then? :)

[@GlindaQuadling]

They're both incredible-looking. So much more swell-egant than the Kandy Kolored ones. P90s RULE.

[@burchypoo70]

The contrast of the creamy p90 against the tobacco burst is quite beautiful!

[@thepizzaveteran]

I've got a 2018 Classic Player Plus with P90's and I pick it up more than any of my other guitars bectI love the P90 tone.

[@jameswhite1450]

that IS the Les Paul to own. just saying

[@charlesbolton8471]

I wish they had one in the Modern Series with weight relief.

[@czedicartist8955]

LP Special with P90’s - ❤❤❤

[@seanmurphy26]

%100!! P90 LP wil be my first les Paul

[@sc12100]

100% P90s are where it’s at.

[@yomalab]

Pelham Blue top with natural back and sides is hard to beat

[@humbucker08]

1. What amp did you play through for this demo? 2. Any chance you guys will play the Heritage Custom Core H-150 for comparison? Love your demos and would love to hear what it sounds like with you guys playing it

[@texhaines9957]

Gibson had a P-90 in their CF-100e, their acoustic with electric pickup.

[@voiksmusifan]

Such a great clean Country- and Rockabilly Tone in every position of the pickup switch! I still wonder why telecasters aren't overtaken by this type of guitars. If you go for heavy metal or hard rock humming might be a concern and you better head for a humbucker Les Paul. But in this case I'd personally go for a PRS or Jackson. Gibson Les Paul - be it P90 or humbucker- will always be a Blues, Country, Jazz guitar to me.

[@rexrathtar3893]

I like the clarity of P90s, but not the hum. I have them in my Revstar and it's a lot of fun, but I need to get a noise gate.

[@mikec3454]

That’s just live music! Hum comes with the territory lol

[@craigtodd8297]

Can firebird pickups be installed into P90 recess?

[@CraigFlowersMusic]

I finished checked my gold top, as can be seen in my two most recent.

[@thisistimwoods]

Les Paul Special in TV yellow is THE p90 guitar to rule all p90 guitars!

[@texhaines9957]

Go, Cooper, go,go! Yeah black top. Like that Martin I got from you!

[@nubisnotstump]

Mike Ness social distortion JS

[@nubisnotstump]

Great playing great video gents

[@salort2934]

If Buying a Gibson Les Paul with P90s made me play like that, I would buy one tight now, but I don’t deserve one.

[@seanmurphy26]

Creamier tone? I thought HBs had that cream..Especially those HBs in the Les Paul.. I still want a P90 Les Paul as my first Les Paul

[@jordanpratt3821]

Your right. Creamy is a HB thing. Got his buzzwords mixed up.

[@gteefxr3094]

Got a few things mixed up.

[@oldasrocks9121]

They sound even better with a 25 and a 1/2 inch neck... 🥳

[@ferox965]

I never liked goldtops. If I had the scratch, I'd grab the burst...matches my 2001.

[@paulobianquini]

Nice guitars, bro.

[@chriswallace9387]

He said tone twice when I think he might have meant hum

[@sixbladeknife44]

I have a 2016 Tribute T P90 Les Paul, it’s way lighter weight than the almost always super heavy current Les Pauls and has a much nicer top than that thing…and it was $799 brand new. The value just isn’t there for these current USA models, not worth it IMO.

[@stevehughes1510]

P90s are clearer crisper in the neck/middle positions, no contest.

[@BobPerrone]

P90s rule

[@kylebaker8619]

The best les Paul's all have p90s.

[@snailsfrogslegs119]

Using an EQ pedal, I could make the p90 or humbucker sound like the other. The humbuckers have more sustain and power throughput and are noiseless; so IMHO they are the winner every time.

[@jeremywills9303]

P90s. Oh yeah

[@VN9001]

P-90's - the ORIGINAL Les Paul design and sound. (1952) Just sayin'........ 😁

[@thomasbarr5940]

Man u guys are so boring sorry ..but 8m going to sleep watchin this
