[@leocubiasmusiclifestyle7460]

The Captain Lee’s playing has gotten so much better and Pete well obviously amazing as usual . Truly enjoy this jam

[@dabradguy]

I have noticed too. When I first started watching these, The Captain seemed like an average office/bedroom player. Now he holds his own with Rob and Pete. If I ever make the trip across the pond I'll def. buy something from Andertons.

[@donnewton415]

Remember when the Captain was part of the reviews because his name is on the store? Now, he more than holds his own with jams and has become quite accomplished. Well done, young man. Well done.

[@stevedixon8567]

I think playing with Pete has helped Cap a lot. He's got such a musical style. Not saying Chappers didnt but Chappers is more sensational and firebreathing - probably harder to jam along with

I've been a Fender guy my entire life. I've been playing a tele for 15 years now and have had a couple of strats. I wanted a les paul to play with new tones, specifically humbucker tones. I ended up getting the classic over a traditional just because of the coil splitting. At first I wasnt that impressed with the tone of the coil split but is grown on me very much. So many tone options out of one guitar. Only guitar I've played in the last year.

[@lachlanmoir79]

These are my favourite of the new line up. That cherry burst is unreal.

[@davedavem]

... And then the Captain played Little Wing while making a point. Whatever the point was, the point stands.

[@drew4931]

I own one of these, and I’d like to comment on the push/pull pots. When you tap the pickups they resemble P-90s, but when you tap them AND pull the phase pot, it gets that strat sound you’d be looking for, but if your strat had a mahogany body.

[@dogpd3]

@Hulk Hogan the Normal sound is like a SG but deeper

[@anvil777]

those tones were simply GLORIOUS, long live the Gibson Les Paul!

[@JesseWrangell]

Now's as good a time as any to keep the tradition alive by saying, "I think this is definitely the year that I will finally buy a Les Paul." See you all next year when I am still broke and without a Les Paul, but still planning on getting one.

[@colebowman2833]

Well, I hope you can manage to save for one and finally get it. I just got one recently and can tell you that there is something special about owning one. And, luckily I bonded with mine and really love it. I wish you the best of luck and really hope you can get one this year and that you love it.😁

[@sharkboy_twentytwo8155]

I’ve owned 4 Les Pauls. The first one was a Classic. By far my favorite. I think that had to do with the 60’s neck taper more than anything. I didn’t have to fight that guitar.

[@mp-kq3vc]

I come to these videos for the Les Paul models, and I always get more and more impressed with Lee's playing on these models.

TRUTH. Altho for me it's 330 in the afternoon but still drinking coffee and enjoying the *hell* out of all the new Gibson vids. I REALLY wanna see what they do with the new ES-335's as those are the 2 guitars I'm pondering for my first electric. (well.. first USA made, high end electric, anyway): the new Standard 50s goldtop, or whatever new iteration they do for the 335.

[@frankgebauer4726]

Awesome review! Watched it like 20 times and finally bought one in Honeyburst two weeks ago. Best electric guitar I EVER got in my hands (and I had a few, like Custom Shop PRS models and stuff)! Sounds, features, neck, playability everything perfect here. And say what you want - I just love the coil splitting option. Better clean tone than my Tele (and I love my Tele as well). Get your hands on one of these as long as they're on the market!

[@PurpleNinjaPower]

Thanks for this comment! It’s reassuring to know that someone has one and loves it! It’s been a real journey trying to decide between this and the standard 50’s. My journeys to my local guitar shop have helped but I still find myself waffling!

[@tushar8998]

Better clean tone than a tele...a bit too far. You have a bad tele pickup.

[@Bourgeault]

Just bought a new 2022 Classic, before i watched this video. I own several Les Pauls and have to admit, this Classic is outstanding. As a Peter Green fan, I love the out of phase sound most of all the options. Coil splitting is not really useful to me. I got the lemon burst and it is stunning...top seems to be a single piece. Captain and Pete, as always, I love your playing and reviews!!!

My father in law has a 2017 Classic and I think they have 57's humbuckers. They dropped Burstbucker 61R and 61T's and I think they did an outstanding job and the guitar is a great value .. coil taps etc. $2000 all in . Nice! and yes Lee.. i think this is the player that wants the Standard and is going to save $500 . They sound sweet. Thanks again Lee and Pete. Some real sweet tasty jams as usual.

Bought one of these in Heritage Cherry from Andertons last year - incredibly flexible guitar for jamming with my friends or playing with my band. Can play straight Les Paul beef for dirty rock or tap the coils and pretend I'm playing a Strat for the more spangled songs. Perfect for the price too.

Nice guitars. Thanks for the video. I don't think I would use the coil split much for recording, but I might use it live when I need a more 'strummy' sound. It should be a good sound to sing over.

[@redduketeleman]

I just bought my second 2019 LP Classic. The first was a Honeyburst and I have just bought the Heritage Cherry classic. These plain tops are really beautiful. Understated with the natural wood grain and subtle burst. I may stick some pickup covers on the Cherry just for aestetics but there is no need to mod these Classics. They are....errrr....classic!!!

[@chrisaustin3805]

Redduke Teleman I just received my honeyburst today and I’m so disappointed with the colouring, it actually looks unburst in most light 😩. Really loving playing Guitar. The binding isn’t great either. Back to Andertons it will go and hopefully they will swap it out for a heritage cherry sunburst.does your honeyburst almost look like just lacquered wood when you are looking directly on top of it? Mine has two horrible knots in the wood at either side.such a shame as it plays and sounds better than my desert burst standard

[@anthonyroach7974]

Loved the review great .Remember that Les Paul himself used on board effects on own Les Paul .ii could use all those sounds to ..order done to ..Pete is great with the captain .plays sympathetically with the guitar to ..

12:49 - The Captain just sold the 2020 Classic to me. AMAZING tone! I’m not kidding, after hearing what this beauty can do i just ordered mine!

[@tutbuck]

It really sounds exactly like the record!

[@thadlogan51]

This video helped me to decide to buy this same guitar. Mine is absolutely perfect and much better looking in person than in pictures. I really considered flame top traditional or standard models but I guess I'm bored of the same sunburst flame tops and wanted something different so went for this. All three are great sounding guitars... with very slightly different sounding pickups. I've had less Paul's with BB pros, 490's, and now the 61's. I like them all... the 490's are very warm... but 61's bright and clear. I didn't care for the BB pros much for my style playing... but they are decent too. I don't think you can get a better sounding or playing Les Paul no matter what price you pay. I play a 59 and 60's custom shop a lot too... and this sounds very similar. Interesting about the custom shops is that because the woods used on them is higher quality they are typically as light or lighter than a cheaper weight relieved guitar without having to drill holes. In terms of sound they are really close... the custom shop may be slightly more woody sounding. The classic I got is just as perfectly constructed as any custom shop I've played but I have gotten lucky. I have a couple of expensive PRS guitars too .. which I love but I think you get more for your money with Gibson... considering you can get a standard flame or classic bound USA guitar for half of what you pay for a core PRS. Again I love both but my PRS way overpriced.

[@MisterTee]

Word on the mean streets of Bend, Oregon is that these are quite good.

[@davidainscough1051]

In a covers band playing all different styles of music, its good to be able to swap between single coils and humbuckers without changing guitars every time, even if the tone isn't perfectly authentic.

[@timmymulls5706]

I think the classic is going to become the standout favorite from the new series because of the price point, the comfortable neck profile and the Alnico V pickups. Kinda odd to see the classic without the 496r/500t combo, but it does seem with modern amps high output ceramic humbuckers have fallen out of favor.

[@msaintpc]

The combo of 496r and 500t pups sound better than any other Gibson pk-ups on a Lester, especially when coming thru a Marshall stack. Nothing in the world sounds better than that.🙂

[@jamestrodden6017]

Nice review and demonstration guys thanks, but PLEASE note the difference between "coil split," and "coil tap." The Gibson Classic has "coil tap," which simple means a reduced signal, as the pick up "taps" into fewer windings. It's still a humbucker, and not meant to sound like a single coil. . .that would require a "coil split." Great playing by the way. Cheers!

[@Brisarian]

Pete smashed it Lee Slashed it great demo guys .Well done Gibson what a great new range of guitars

[@JKM395]

If it says Gibson Les Paul on the headstock, I love it. I've had two. A 94 Studio which I unfortunately had to sell and I've now a 2017 Studio. I may try to trade up at some point, but I'll never be without one. It's my number one.

[@v32finish]

Man. Danish Pete is a man after my own heart. True guitar geek. Rob and Lee & all the rest have great guitars too, obviously, but to me... Pete has the *best* guitars, man. That purple Tele.. the PRS sent straight from Paul.. (to be fair Lee has one of those too) ... but most of all, that self-relic'd goldtop is the SINGULAR reason that I've decided that ONE DAY I will own a Les Paul goldtop. Having just recently decided that, this week they release a newly price-reduced *Les Paul Standard 50s Goldtop*.. I'm sold. As someone who has wanted a 58 reissue for a very long time, but absolutely can't pony up $5k for a guitar without selling *literally* all 5 guitars that I own.... this is perfect for me. THANKS to Lee & Pete & Andertons for fueling my GAS and inspiring videos. I'm mostly an acoustic guy, with my 2 best guitars from the Gibson custom shop, but this channel has singlehandedly convinced me that I need a Les Paul (or 335) and a Bassbreaker or other Fender amp. PS did Gibson release anything new with the ES-335 line with this new core range release we got this past week? Keep it up!!! -32 Finish

[@kylesnyder9452]

Great for cover band guys to have all those different sounds in one guitar

[@jp1865]

Out of everyone in the Andertons videos, it is most obvious that Pete loves to just jam. The first to jump in and the first to give it back to you. And the look on his face says it all. Sure bet he'd be great to hang out with and jam.

[@bluebellyjunction]

I can see advantages of coil-splitting for a gigging guitarist. 3 sets a night, several nights a week, its a lot less gear hauling and guitar changing.

[@once_upon_a_Bike]

Hey guys. Let me tell something about coil splitting. There are many of us out there who would like to have a proper Strat and Les Paul because of the different types of music we'd like to play. For example, I would like a Les Paul instead of a Strat because LP has this unique rock sound and guitar shape BUT I really love the clean Blues sound of the Strat. But because the shape of the Strat is so common and the reason that I have another guitar in this shape, I'd prefer something different. So, I have to find this LP that gives me the perfect Blues "Strat" tone and also be able to play some rock 'n roll. You also have to consider the price of these two guitars. It's almost 2 grand for each guitar so, for most people out there there is only one option, either the LP or the Strat. Don't misunderstand me, I know that it's almost impossible to make this happen, but personally I would really like to own a Les Paul with coil splitting only for the clean Blues tones, that a single coil pickup could give me. Thank you for all these videos you make. They are very very helpful. Keep it that way!!

[@msaintpc]

You could replace your pups with a set of Duncans or Lollars that can give you those sounds you desire. Be about a $250 to $300 investment but well worth it. If a person invests several hundred dollars to upgrade the Classic's hardwear, shoot, he'd have a guitar that sounds and plays just as well as the Standard.

[@frishdaw]

Something about Gibsons and Grovers is just a magical look and sound

[@Po1itica11yNcorrect]

Just bought this guitar in honeyburst several months ago. Love the looks and the tones coming out of my Friedman Runt 20. Next up, getting a Strat and putting some SD Billy Gibbons Red Devils in it, a Strat w/ single coils, and a Telecaster. Then a Taylor acoustic. Then a resonator guitar. Then..... Damn, this hobby is going to break me.

[@Zoso981]

Some strong man-love for the Plain Tops going on here. Just when I was convinced I needed the Tribute, you unleash these babies. These are the times that try mens' souls.......(and women's!) A Classic Plain Top run thru my Vox (seasoned with some Earthquaker spice) would fill my soul. Great videos!

Pete is a really tasteful and enjoyable guitarist, and I say that as someone who does not listen to mellow music.

[@papa_yoh]

I like Rob but I am not gonna lie, the gear demos with Pete and the Captain are miles ahead of the gear demos with Rob. I hope they continue this way.

[@flowryan5829]

Rob is just full of himself and it shows. Great guitarist, funny bloke but that ain‘t everything.

[@Mark-vv1dy]

I feel like Rob always set his amps kinda weird. It was always kind of nasal and fizzy no matter what guitar he played. Pete seems to set the amp for much more classic sounding tones.

[@ickebins6948]

Features are more like a "Studio Plus" then a "cheap standard", i like it... Tops are nice aswell

[@daemonelectricity]

One the Epi ES-335 Pro, the pickup split doesn't do a Fender tone at the bridge or really even enhance the sound much, but the neck pickup is another story. It doesn't do full Fender chime, but it does have a more jangly attack which goes well with the neck pickup sound. It's definitely not a Fender sound, but I like it.
