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

[@Vercetti1986]

Excuse me ? Did captain Lee just went full Hendrix and slash mode?

[@albertomunoz4867]

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.

[@1ambreakfast]

Just wondering how do you like this guitar now?

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

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.🙂

[@marti_au]

[@PantheonLincoln]

If I were to buy a Gibson LP now, I think I would go for the Classic. There is one thing that bugs me though. These days, the Honeyburst finish they do is too light. If they offered a burst that was a shade inbetween the current Cherry and Honey bursts, that would be ideal. That would probably be "Iced Tea" right? Would rather not spend more for the 60s Standard, though.

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.

Pete is being ridiculous, you want a Les Paul to sound like a Les Paul, sure... but a Les Paul that sounds like a Les Paul and has the ability to sound like "something else", is STILL a Les Paul that sounds like a les paul. in other words, It's versatility doesn't impact that at it's basic settings it's still a Les Paul that sounds like a Les Paul.

I agree with Pete being ridiculous, also on what lee said about putting in a humbucker in a strat not sounding like a led Paul is due to scale more than anything else, and may be offset by pickup placement? I'm not sure, not really entirely relevant but worth saying.

[@ickebins6948]

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

[@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.

[@macanoodough]

I bought my Traditional and it was the same price as a Standard back in 09 and it is basically the same difference as the Classic. Plain Top, Push/Pulls and the same pickups you'd have found some standards, no blower. I don't feel like I bought something that should have been cheaper, I considered it the best purchase of my guitar journey. So I woulldn't let the price difference suggest "it's a Les Paul BUT..." I would say it's definitely legit and that's something you have to weigh before just buying a Standard. Are you sure you wouldn't be happier with features? Because while everyone rags on coil taps, they do provide tonal voicings that you can achieve to play single coil voiced songs. It takes some doing, and I've yet to see a shootout where you set up a whole rig designed to assist in getting that sound to truly test the theories. Sure, straight in an amp it's as clear as night and day, but a couple, not many, pedals can help minimize that. And different Amps are also a great help. I have a strat but still prefer to use my Les Paul because switching guitars means I now have to change everything. I can't just plug and play on the same settings for the pedal or the amp. I defintiely get a great sound just pulling the knobs.....and not just on my guitar.

[@rubentrevino6288]

Split coils are cool.if you need something extra in your sound if you need it. If not you dont have to use them or you could go with a les Paul without them

Can you please do a video or just a short where you plug Gibson LP Classic into crancked Marshall JTM Studio?😮😊

[@hippiekarl7]

The reason these LPs don't sound 'Fender authentic' in single-coil modes is that they're still in series, and when used alone it's not necessarily the coil you should be using for that sound (flip your neck HB over and you'll hear the difference). In LPs, the Tele and Strat-o-tones are really only available when you wire one or both pickups to switch between series hb, or 'parallel with itself' hb. With (for example) the bridge p/u single-coil, and the neck p/u parallel hb, it gets Tele ~authority~....both in parallel with the tone rolled back gets the "in-between" 2 and 4 Strat sound. This arrangement seems to work best with low-output HBs (AlNiCo2, like PAFs). You can wire a 3-way DPDT to provide 1) parallel-with-itself HB [quack], 2) series HB [LP as usual] , and 3) single-coil [bridge p/u hot/outside coil; neck p/u dummy-coil...or however it sounds best to you lol]. Basically, you need the neck p/u to be able to run as a parallel with itself hb, and the bridge p/u to tap the proper coil when you want....The "blow" push/pull on that volume pot ought to be a series/parallel switch for the neck p/u; you'd have a legit Tele, and Strat-o-5-way tone hiding in your LP. I drilled out my 2011 double-cut gold top Standard for 2 3-ways when I installed a set of Darkmoon Aurora A2 HBs; now, unless it's going series HB (classic LP-tone), you'd have NO FLIPPING IDEA whether I'm playing a Tele, Strat, or hot-rod LP in a 'blind test'. If you don't have the cojones to drill your LP body, you could arrange the push/pulls in the vid thusly: 2 of them as single/hb switches, and the other 2 as series/parallel (when in hb mode).....the 'blow' switch is far less useful in the scheme of things, and uses up a critical switch-location.

The Gibson split pickup does not sound like a Fender, and the Gibson out-of-phase does not sound like the Fender out-of-phase.

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.

Strange vibe in this video guys, Peter's distane for these is strong. I love the look of that honey burst, for me the flame and triple flame bling with all the glitter is to Liberace. The coil split sounds good too, great having access to more tones. Each to their own tone. Pete showed more love for the 2020 Epiphone than he did for this Gibson, I guess we just got to find what works for ourselves and go with that, if it sounds good, it is good.

It really marries everything you like about a studio with a standard. Recording wise, having the versatility means you can do most of what you need on one guitar. That doesn’t mean we quit collecting them, though 😅

If you’re going to buy a Les Paul the Classic is the best bang for the buck.I have a Heritage Cherry Sunburst and a Gold Top and love them more than the Standard I sold.

Bought a Wharfedale last december. In March it broke down. I mailed you guys. You kept on pushing that it'd be the tubes. So I figured out it'd be useless to ship this freaking heavy amp from Belgium all the way to the UK again. So I had a local amp tech repair it. Seems like it had 3 broken switches. Costed lots of money. But this kind of service won't let me become a loyal customer...

There you have the benefits of globalization .. and the reason why its only good for business.

[@NathanSidF]

@@cgavin1 I don't really get your reaction. My point is just that I knew that the tubes were alright so shipping with these fragile components wouldn't do any more good on the amp. Especially one of this weight. If it was like An Orange tiny terror or something I wouldn't mind. But this beast is next level...

[@TheDatpussy]

Sid F. Why not order from somehwere more local?

[@NathanSidF]

@@TheDatpussy none of the stores local had these amps. Loved all the specs on them and a steal of a price for these amps. But hey. Now I know why...

[@monster5608]

These have been the best Gibson reviews ever lol I love it

[@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.

[@WhateverYouWant3531]

loved that velvet revolver bit!

[@dominicmcmahon4798]

If you swap out the pups and put hum covers on, these will look sick. Who needs a flame. These look nice as.

[@e7thstar]

The pups make this guitar. I have the special edition Manhattan midnight blue. The 57 classic and 57+ are the best gibson has tonewise

[@somebodysomeone832]

I love when Pete starts talking like the fish from American Dad

[@JonnyBoss83]

I've broken the head off my SG. I live in West Yorkshire. I'm willing to travel. Any suggestions for a repair person welcome.

That back line is very impressive. Perfect background for guitar review show.
