[@PilgrimMinistry]

I like both, but the video of Rob and Lee always makes me smile. When I was living at home, my dad and I always made a tradition to go out to various guitar shops on Black Friday and look at the gear we wanted but could not afford. We’d drive around and listen to Joe Satriani, Dream Theater, Rush, and Megadeth. After a long day of window shopping we’d stop for lunch and hang out. The Anderton’s video always reminds me of those days.

Honestly, might be worth trying to lower those pickups on the 59 a bit. Might open things up a bit, give you a tiny bit more sustain

[@dansands6363]

@@TheTapMusic This at least gives me relief knowing even the high end custom shops suffer from this problem. I just bought 50s standard and its a fantastic guitar, but I really struggled with the neck pickup. It sounded like a good pickup with tons of potential but there was a blanket over the amp at all times. And apparently a lot of Les Paul owners report those issues with their guitars.

[@troyoswald5683]

:-) you are correct sir

[@jvin248]

"It's not as bright"/"sounds a bit muffled" ... Lee, measure the volume pot(s) and find replacements higher in the spec range (pots have a 20% tolerance range). See what tone cap is in there and go the next smaller common uF (if 0.047uf then go 0.033uf). If you want to go more radical, put the tone cap you removed in series with the muddy pickup hot lead. The controls, they actually control the tone, even when the knobs are dimed! I used to swap pickups until I figured out how much influence can be obtained with $10 in parts. Don't forget to adjust pickup heights and screw pole heights, that's a free mod (lower is often better).

[@orlfane1622]

I have a 2019 R8 and I think the pups are a bit muddy. I rarely use the neck pickup because of this. My 335 sounds much brighter.

[@jpfigueiredo]

Lee, if it's any consolation, yours won the sustain test, by a mile!

[@toledo2983]

so (generally) the sustain of a (otherwise equal constructed) guitar is influenced by the weight. It was no surprise to me, as i find one can hear the strong attack on the lighter guitar as well. If you change some parts on the "not so good" guitar, it will be 99 % there in sound as the lighter Guitar.

29:35 This is the defining moment. That chord sold me. It's as if 6 notes singing in harmony together. The clarity and mid punch. Ooooooof..... Such an amazing Les Paul.

[@FendCore]

I like the intro jam and decided to record my own version, then improvise like a Captain (without his talent for catching the right notes but in my overused minor pentatonic), then I analysed Petes licks and ... Had a revelation how easily he played with the thirds and seventh that makes him play major or minor or both! Definitely sounds that I'm used to...

Agreed that Pete’s sounds better. However, it also sounds more like a tele than a typical Paul. Does that mean the secret to getting the best Les Paul tone on a budget is to buy a great tele? Wait he already has that too. Love it when the best guitars go to the guys who can make the most of them instead of hanging on the walls of collectors. (PS, thank you collectors for buying the expensive stuff that keeps driving creativity and innovation)

[@somethingbl]

I had the same conclusion. Lee's guitar sounds like a Les Paul. Pete's just doesn't. It's unique, which makes it super special, it's just not what a Les Paul usually sounds like. I'm super excited to see what the new Parallel Universe 2 Troublemaker Tele Deluxes with humbuckers sound like.

I um’ed and are’d.. put it back .. and walked out.. but.. I couldn’t stop thinking about the guitar.. two days later I called the store from the UK and it had been sold.

During the intro I thought it was the difference in amps as Pete's sounded clearer and really bloomed. But plugged into the same amp the tone followed the guitar. If it were a tool I used for my work it's definitely worth the extra price. But, at my skill level the difference world would never be noticed.

[@JB-ju4ev]

pick-ups and pots make a big difference, pick-up height changes how mine sounds, its crazy. even the pick you use changes the sound some. should try messing around at home with just different picks and picks with points, different thickness, kinda crazy. mess around with your picks, and adjusting your pick-up height.... could get lost doing that lol

Unpotted pickups is probably one of the biggest reasons that Pete's guitar sounds so dang good. My dad has a set of Custombuckers in his Tokai and it it seriously contends with guitars that are 5x as expensive.

[@davidkieltyka9]

Mine is also a 2019 ‘58 reissue. 8lbs, 3oz. Great acoustic response and “fat Tele” pickups that really cut.

[@TraneFrancks]

Absolutely this. It was the Wood Gods that got me into Telecasters. I always thought Teles were "cowboy guitars" and had no interest at all in 'em. Walked into a shop one day in the early 2000s and there was a cheap, Fender Japan Tele hanging on the wall selling for the equivalent of US$440. I asked to play it and it was the most resonant electric guitar I've ever played. Loud and proud. It came home. Creeping up on 20 years later, it's got '64 Pure Vintage pickups and CTS pots in it and it is sonic heaven through a dimed Marshall. My Les Paul Special Tribute is a similar story in that it's just so beautifully alive. And the P-90s are magic. LOLsigh "Guitars ..."

[@benforsey]

I'm not one for relic guitars at all, but whenever I see a Tom Murphy aged Les Paul they always look absolutely incredible

[@RJBeatlefan]

I live in India and play left handed. Its really difficult for me to get guitars. I saw these two play the SG tribute and standard models last year. I then looked for the guitars online, kept track of the number of pieces and picked the last remaining piece on a work trip to the US (I actually placed my order at the airport right before getting on my plane). After this video, I have a feeling I'm going to start looking for a Les Paul. **intense spy movie music plays in the background**

[@sourav2328]

where did you buy the Les Paul from ?

[@Yupppi]

Seems like Tom Murphy knows what he does. The first thing in the video that I spotted was that the guitar looks like it's very old but well kept or it's a relic with a brilliant taste, where you notice it's aged but doesn't look like someone was paid to relic it (ruin it). So fine and mild relicing. I'm 100% relicing has a place, because no guitar that was new in the store felt right to me, it always felt like a new store guitar, alien. But when you've had it for a year or two at home, it starts to feel comfortable and cozy. Same for used guitars. When talking about "is it worth it", it's like if you have the itch for that specific one, you can't replace it with something you can afford better. You just have to give up. If you have an itch for les paul you probably can have something cheaper, but if you find the one, you have to get it or give up. It's not about "is that 1% more worth it" but "I have to have that exact thing". You don't get it for that 1% but because nothing else will do. If it's worth anything, I like Cap's guitar better visually and tonally :) But the psychology is too strong, after you guys said Pete's is better, I started asking myself if Cap's guitar is really better. Don't let yourself get into that mode, you'll just make wrong decisions.

[@sidiox7857]

[@Edwarbr]

I am privileged enough to live near Wildwood guitars and I had a similar experience with a TM aged Les Paul. I have played so many LPs over the years and I have never really found the “one”. I went in to buy a 2019 59 custom shop 60th anniversary model and made the mistake of saying, hey can I try that one..... The guitar was so good, I compartmentalized the cost in my brain to pull the trigger on it. I paid less for my original 58 Les Paul serial 8 3310. I actually wore an Andertons t-shirt that day. They gave me a Wildwood t-shirt when I left.

Both Lee and Danish Pete have great sounding LPs but I think Danish Pete's has a certain "X" factor. While there are many contributing factors of why a guitar sounds a certain way I'm sure DP's LP has markedly different pickups, pots and caps than Lee's.

Would love to see a 50’s or 60’s standard thrown in this mix as well

[@bamber119]

I was watching another of their vids and a great point was given...If you buy a 50's or 60's standard and you cant afford a custom then never try a custom lol. This will be the exact reason why I won't be trying a custom as I've bought a 50's standard sunburst, unless I win the lottery. lol.

[@GAFloppa]

@@bamber119 agreed. Bet you're perfectly happy with your standard 50s? Like any normal person would be. No need to spoil it for yourself by trying a custom

These guys have way too much fun!

[@waynetoneseekerandersen2213]

Lee, take your les Paul to Monty’s, get him to put his repro paf in, you will save 6,000$. I ordered two sets for my CS 2013 and 2016 R9’s, best decision ever. EVER!!! Pots matter too. I am in Canada, so was a gamble for me that paid off. I had a volume pot measure 410k, changed it to 520k and also improved it

[@kmdracer]

I had an LTD 401fm with the 36th pickups. They were fantastic pickups in that guitar.

[@banjo7598]

CS Les Paul’s are killer guitars. Check out Sunbear PAF pickups too. Outstanding.

[@waynetoneseekerandersen2213]

G. V. Q full Monty’s solve that problem, I have them too! But his PAF’s are not low out put either.

[@ces69]

Kenth Hamner Personally I like their PAF 59’s! To me they have that Les a Paul sound that I have in my head!

Kept my standard Gibson pups in my 2016 Ebony LP and ditched the complete harness and board (😖) out for an Australian “Jucy Guitar” 50’s harness with POI capacitors. $200 Au well worth the investment because it fixed my crappy electrical issues crackle and now sounds the way I want it. Same result as a custom shop for way less money..🇦🇺👍

[@philfyphil]

I’ve got one of the Pod XT Live units, still going strong. I still mourn the day I failed to purchase a twice the price Les Paul Heritage in Andertons about 15 years ago that was 3 x better sounding than the standard Les Pauls. The difference in sound was incredible.

[@jokezspeedruns9679]

Danish Pete is the best Andertons guest; Great dynamic between the two, friendship wise & Captain feels in his element, with this kind of tone they're going for, rather than the Heavy Metal Chapman or Rabea bring to the mix.

[@brownsfanlarry1340]

How about Lee & Rob do a metal pedal board challenge. See who builds the best metal board! LOVE TO SEE THAT!!

[@Mephilis78]

It's actually amazing to so see that people who buy and sell Gibsons by the hundreds, still get giddy about them after all those years. It's humbling, it means that the feeling I had when I got my Gibson is shared by basically every Gibson owner.... even the ones who have been handling Gibsons for decades. I wonder if big musicians feel the same. Does Peter Frampton ever go and test out some LPs at a store, and occasionally come across one that makes him have the same giddy feeling he did when he got his first one?

[@dohoeijmans2432]

The E chord did it. Edit: ask Trogly about the specs and pup specs. He knows!

[@j.b.55]

I’d also look at adjusting pickup pole screws…makes a HUGE difference in clarity

[@adamrae6579]

I absolutely LOVE the lemon burst, it reminds me of Jimmy Page’s number one!

[@toledo2983]

isnt there a purple colored les paul?

[@Guitars4Stars]

I think you too stooges are missing your brother, they Sound amazing DORKS!!!!

[@simonnaji]

Never AB your own guitar. You knew that, Lee!

[@rossmclean7569]

So weird, Andertons hasn't been in my feed lately. Good to see you both! Hope you're safe and healthy!

[@barristerh5379]

Pete’s guitar is the reason I don’t have a les Paul. Once I hear something like that, I would be forever chasing that tone. Until I had 10k to spend

[@onenotesolo256]

The wonderful Pete H: probably more likely to be John Mayer’s “broken arm” replacement than Slash’s. Fab video as ever.

[@adamwhite2329]

Pete's guitar just sounds brighter. That high-end clarity might be more pleasing to the ear, but Lee's has more of a true vintage sound. In all, the difference is worth nowhere near twice as much! You're paying for the aging.

[@toledo2983]

its quite easy to make the guitar brighter with some changes. the one guitar is heavier than the other (more sustain) and alone changing the Bridge and Pots will bring it to 99% same soundwise.

[@matthewkiepert2055]

Thank you gentlemen, and scholars

[@frmcf]

Me: Ah, nothing like a nice long lie-in on a Sunday morning! Yawn! Lee: This year is the 70th anniversary of the 1960 Les Paul. Me: 😳

[@tonefish3825]

I wish I could hand you my Eastman SB59. $1500 1 piece body, 8.0 lbs... I could not leave the store without it after I tried it.

[@Zolbat]

Lee later noticed that the tone knobs were half way down

[@toledo2983]

and pete noticed his sustain knobs were down all the way...

[@adamrae6579]

Gotta admit, I’m much more inspired by Lee’s 594 and Pete’s Paul’s guitar! Would love to see a video comparing the two!
