The case for the Singlecut (Les Paul) style guitar in praise and worship // Feat. the PRS 594

[@calebwhitcraft1664]

Stu G's playing on King or Cripple was super influential on my style of worship. I've been playing a LP and causing people to question my salvation for almost 20 years.

[@bwall615]

I use to play a lot of ibanez’s. So when I showed up with Gibson’s and Fenders, they thought I had finally been saved.

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

😂

[@WorshipGuitarTheory]

I remember when Stu G and then Nigel Hendroff were rocking Les Pauls from the late 90s to early 00s and worship guitarists were buying them up. I think at the end of the day it comes down to trends. With the amount of drives and wet effects we use these days I think the type of axe comes secondary. Although back then we were rocking a lot more in church 🤘

[@benjaminquick4750]

Adair, Oklahoma here!!! I play a white, black, and gold Les Paul Custom Pro in all of my services. I play two Country Gospel services, and one contemporary service every Sunday and one contemporary service every Wednesday. It's great for both!!!

[@jett7530]

I played a LP in church stuff for around 14 years, and it was because of seeing Stu G and that standard of his! I have gravitated towards 25.5 scale guitars for that last several years now, but singlecuts sure are fun once n a while.

[@samz9121]

PRS Zach Myers owner here! I mentioned before on a couple of vids on how that juiced Gold top convinced me to bite the bullet. One PRS basically benched my Gretsch and my Fenders. PRS LP style guitars are honestly the best of the best.

[@pacaya07]

Hey guys! Great video. I play a Les Paul and just installed the String Butler. Played it in church this morning for the first time and I believe it has made the D and G strings more stable in tuning. Thanks for giving the single cut crowd some love!

[@MrFrozone93]

You guys are awesome, thank you for making life for us beginner and rookie worhsip guitarists soooo much easier. An huge thanks for make the LP so strong! I am a huge fan and I use one for worship but often have to justify myself using it instead of a tele. But I love the tone and the look, the feel. Thank you so much guys! For all your work. I literally could comment all your videos and say thanks. Such a huge impact for my service in our church. Be blessed!

[@noizewriter3324]

The fact Slash and Page and Tremonti used them are more than enough reasons to use them haha! Also I tend to play lots of the lead lines so I enjoy as much thick sustaining tones as I can get. Plus If you get the right one that middle setting can be nice and spanky it's really a tele thats does it's squats. Also Daniel Carson had one of the best tones ever back when he used his LP in Tomlins early albums

[@ДимаТоп-ь9о]

Les Paul was my first guitar I ever bought and I bought it for worship because of Stu G, he is legend, it is still my go to favorite, also have a Strat for a single coil options

[@StevenAlwine]

I have a mid-90s Epiphone Les Paul made in Japan that I really only bought because the finish is ruby sparkle, to discover it's got a SD JB in the bridge and SB '59 in the neck, and I love it for worship. A lot of deciding what guitar (and as a result what pickups/amps) comes down to the sound that serves the song and the vibe you're trying to achieve. One of my favorite things about humbuckers is they often feel more responsive to dynamics because they are so close to breakup, so you can get from fairly clean to a big overdriven sound just by changing picking or strumming dynamics. The result isn't necessarily "cut through the mix" but is just a big, full sound that pairs well with an acoustic guitarist (who thanks to the nature of a piezo pickup can get louder but not fuller sounding to matter how hard they play) banging chords through a big bridge or chorus. I think that's my favorite way to employ a Les Paul, using it to create that big full dynamic sound rather than when the song calls more for licks and the response side of call & response from elsewhere in the band.

[@vanisher16]

Love it!!! I use a PRS Stripped 58... precursor to the 594.. It is just single cut perfection in my mind. Great job guys!!! Also I 100% agree on the hardtail with vibrato. It is massively important. I only use my mastery vibrato for full chord vibrato on other instruments. Single notes sound way better with proper, and personal, left hand technique. Love it!!

[@flashthompson7]

I’m almost sorry I didn’t understand most of this video. However I believe God has blessed you with these understandings. May God connect with you through your music! I want to tell the guy on the right with the beard your beautiful music has truly blessed me. My hope is that my works harmonize like the vibrations of your music.

[@lifebreath77]

I play Les Pauls almost exclusively for worship. In fact, I play them almost exclusively for anything! The tonal palette of a Les Paul is so much more than most players imagine, and with lower output PAF type pickups, they can sound very clear, clean and bright. My 60th Anniversary R9 is amazing and it can be very tele-like. Play it through a Fender Deluxe or Princeton Reverb with the right pedals and you can cover pretty much any sound. For a little more versatility, I run through a Mesa Boogie Fillmore 50. I used Vox AC 30 and single could guitars back in the late 80’a and through the 90’s, but now days, my tele and strat sit in their cases 90% of the time. I tried a Gretch for short time. I couldn’t stand it! But I like when other people play them. The bottom line is that people need to use the instrument they can produce the sound in their mind with. I’m dismayed by the dearth of Les Pauls in Christian music - it’s a sin! I pray every day for Christian guitarists to have the scales removes from their eyes and for the softening of their hard heart to get more Les Paul love! Lol. And while your effort to bring enlightenment is admirable … PRS? 😂 Ok, I’ll cut you some slack since PRS provided them to you. I’m glad to see someone devoting a segment to the subject. Thanks!

[@cgull87]

Great stuff guys! I’ve been playing a Ted McCarty PRS single cut since 2009 in church. I got a Les Paul in 2015 and swapped the pickups a couple years ago with the Lollar El Rayo and man is it sweet!

[@anthony_buonocore]

Great video guys. I recently picked up a Gibson custom shop R9 Les Paul and have been playing it at church and it’s been fantastic.

[@hotman718]

PRS Custom 24 owner here loaded with Lollar Imperials pickups. This thing slays any genre, especially praise and worship.

[@dannyharris6067]

Guys I have an original 1970 gold top Les Paul deluxe with the mini humbuckers that I use for worship. And they actually work great because they have the top in clarity and not as much low mid mud. I also use the output gain of my compressor to clean up my amplifier and never adjust the gain on the amp. Then I compensate for the loss of volume after the amp. yeah my dad bought the Les Paul user in 1974 when he was in the army off of a guy that he was in the army with. He bought it in 1974 for $100 from this guy. That guitar was also the guitar that my dad taught me how to play on, and now I use it to serve the Lord. My dad and myself played so much that it had to get refretted last year.

[@SimonSawal]

I have an PRS se Tremonti custom upgrade with the pickups of the usa version. Really usable for praise and worship. Sounds good for cleans and high gain. one of the super handy things of an singlecut is the four knobs configuration. Many tonal options at your desposal

[@korzake1930]

I think Gretsch guitars are the most over used brand recently in the worship setting. I used to see a lot of LP’s and Tele’s in nowadays top worship bands and now they switched them up for some Gretsch, Deusenberg or Veritas in most of the time.

[@hoythendrix]

Watching this a few years later after being gifted a Tremonti SE. I can’t wait to try some of these tones on mine!

[@SITST6]

LP standard through a Friedman BE for Rattle.. yeah it was glorious.

[@Newbyrock23]

I have a singlecut 594 with P90s. It’s my number 1 guitar, and is right at home in the church setting. There’s a really strange misconception regarding what guitars you “need” for worship and praise. Some people want to use a Deusenberg, some a Tele, and that’s cool. But a good Singlecut (or LP variant) won’t let you down, and will probably help separate you in a mix from the other 17 guitar players on a stage

[@rdmkeytohwy]

Most electric guitars are not one-trick ponies but get a bad reputation for doing only one thing because some players don’t know how to work the volume and tone knobs to dial certain tones in. Also, dynamics, your touch (fingers), vibrato......many techniques bring out different sounds. Joe Bonamassa has a great video on how to get many tones out of a Les Paul. PRS has certainly made a splash in the singlecut market and those guitars look and sound beautiful. I think the S2 is a stunner to look at and the tone is really close to the more expensive core model. Yes the Les Paul-style guitar is a rock machine but has great clean tones and can be played at high volumes with no hum. Lots to like!

[@tylergorham7301]

While we're on the topic of Dad Rock guitars in worship, my friend and I play HSS Strat-style guitars and they're great for praise and worship! Moving from single coils to the bridge humbucker allows you to get such a huge dynamic (and tonal) range from the guitar itself.

[@alexevans1826]

Awesome video, big fan. I use some of your presets/IRs and I love your conversations! One thing I was waiting for you to bring up is how the scale length affects the tone as well as the playability. I’m sure you guys already know this, but something I think is interesting is that generally the shorter length adds a warmer, darker (sometimes even called muddier) tone, with all other things being equal. I had an LP with P90s for a while, and and even with the single coils it didn’t have the spanky brightness I’ve come to love for lead lines and clear rhythm playing. The shorter the scale, the “closer” to the nut the pickups are (relative to a fender/25.5 scale), which often lends to a tone that is a lot darker, even if you use the exact same pickups and setup otherwise. This scale length plus the warm PAF pups often just doesn’t cut through a dense worship mix, at least for me, but obviously that’s not to say you can’t get a clear/bright tone out of a Gibson or a PRS, just like Stu was saying ab the edge! Anyways, I thought this was a super interesting conversation, love what you guys do! Rock on.

[@TangoDownOIF]

Personally I wish I would see more Les Paul’s in worship. They can play the thick background and lower to mid frequencies, and a tele or whatever can play the thinner higher frequencies and it’ll really mix well.

[@brandonloukota4760]

Hi guys, love the videos! I was wondering if you could make something like a “how to make parts for a song” video. I’m at the point where I can learn, transpose, and play most songs my church does if I have a tutorial from you guys or worship artistry. And I can normally figure out big lead lines if the recording has them. But where I still really struggle is for older songs and hymns that don’t have a tutorial, and don’t have electric guitar parts that stand out in the mix. (And yes I know sometimes it’s best not to play much in songs like that. but sometimes the worship leader wants to make it big. And a simple lead line would work better than just throwing on some OD and hitting the chords lol, I just don’t know how to write/make a line that sounds good)

[@jmlt-zb8px]

The secret is to practice - keep trying, and failing, and you will get better over time. But I do agree a tutorial of the kind you’re suggesting would be really helpful

[@fredw2016]

Great video. I used humbucker guitars in worship before I used Fender, now use both an Epiphone Les Paul and a Fender Jaguar. A great tip if you want to add a tremolo to a Les Paul, I can recommend the Duesenberg Les Trem II. Well superior to a Bigsby IMHO, extremely smooth, keeps in tune and it just replaces your hard tail without drilling etc.

[@AdamCasada]

As someone who's only ever owned a hardtail (T style), fully agree that hardtails are completely sufficient in worship guitar playing. I've been happy with it for 5+ years. Not that I don't plan to buy something with a trem eventually, because of course trems are wonderful while they are in tune, but in my opinion left-hand technique is essential to polishing your playing. Nearly every note benefits from a little bit (or a lot) of vibrato added with the left hand. And tuning stability is not something to laugh at.

[@Cali559]

I just played my Les Paul style guitar with P90's this last Sunday. It sounded great! P90's are single coil, and land somewhere between humbuckers and single coil Strat style pickups. The middle switch position was nice and clean, glassy, and with some great crunch when adding more overdrive. I have no issue using my Gold Top P90 in worship. My Strat has been my go to for years, and depending on the set list, I will use either guitar. The Fender Strat does some things better, the Gold Top covers a different tonal pallet. Both work nicely for all types of worship. If the set is a little more rockin'... out comes the Gold Top. More laid back, needing a tremolo bar, or a variety of glassy clean tones, the Strat gets the knod. Maybe you could test some P90 equipped guitars. I have Alnico II magnets, not Alnico V, and not Ceramic. The Alnico II's hit the sweet spot IMO. God Bless, and thank you for the great videos.

[@romeou4965]

Played worship keys for a while next to a 60 yr old guitarist with dark cherry Les Paul and his tone (and 70s rock style playing over worship) was just perfect! Nowadays young Tele/Gretsch kats play too “light” in tone and riffs

[@chrischurchward3880]

Haven' read all the comments but one of the other MAJOR differences is that LP style guitars are set neck rather than bolt on which also adds girth to the tone . Seeing you have had all 3 in your hands how do the 594s compare tone wise to Brians custom ( oh that is my desert island guitar) Love the video

[@maxheadroom6067]

I bought a set of Cremas based on your recommendation for a PRS Starla S2. They finally got caught up on production and waiting for them to arrive. Went with the 2 wire version, so I’ll have to change the pots out, but I’m looking forward to getting some 59s wiring in a single cut body. While the Starla is more like a junior or sg in that it is slab mahogany with no maple cap, I know it’s going to be a great experience with a faithful paf recreation at the core.

[@gtrplarkerry]

The Cremas are a lower output humbucker than traditional PAFs. Traditional PAFs will break up sooner.

[@lespaulguitarman24]

For years I've used a custom 24 until recently buying a silver sky. Love them both in different ways!

[@landongoff7886]

My go to is a tele now but the first guitar I played in worship was a Les Paul! I loved being able to switch from a clean ambient neck to a upbeat driving bridge without having to adjust my tone and volume on the fly!

[@dannyharris5300]

Guys I have a 1970 gold top Les Paul Deluxe that are used in worship music a lot. I also use a strat, A telecaster, A white Gibson SG, A schecter C1 plus, And a epiphone 335. Are you use a different guitar each week so that they all get some love.

[@davehubner5300]

Its a generational thing from my perspective. Im 20 years older and played Gibsons before pedal boards became the rage. We ran from clean to dirty by riding the volume controls into a tube amp on the edge of breakup. Modern worship guys typically do it with pedals. With a good PAF equipped Les Paul type guitar you can play jazz to metal. The man Les Paul played clean jazzy music. PRS are the like the next gen Les Paul. I play a PRS semi hollow Special 22 which is the offspring of a Strat and a Gibson 335 lol

[@drewpac4]

How would you compare the lambertone grinders to the 58/15? I loved the tone of the axe dc 30 with both of the prs guitars. I currently use cremas in my LP but I'm going to move them into a tele and i want something more like the 58/15 to replace them. Any recommendations appreciated. Thanks.

[@djfuzzystump]

Gents - I have a GLP Classic in Honeyburst - and it sounds FABULOUS - through your WT Matchless patch. I highly recommend that patch for versatility with a guitar like mine (it has the burstbucker pickups). That patch is a definite buy!!

[@worshiptutorials]

Thanks David! I really want to get my hands on one of the newer Gibson LP’s.

[@bueller8278]

You guys really need to review the Starla. It's a Gretsch/Veritas hybrid that feels terrific and stays in tune

[@bmitchellmusic]

We (Brian) had one many moons ago. They are sweet guitars!

[@SolaChristus]

Interesting discussion. For a long time now I’ve approached playing guitar in worship music groups as using whatever enables you to express your own personal instrumental voice as your own contribution to the act of corporate worship by the body of Christ. For those who can accept that definition, then any style of guitar with any tone type is acceptable if the”heart” of the player is in the right place for the right song at the given moment. But with that preface, to my point: yes I also love and exclusively use dual equipped humbucker guitars for many of the reasons presented in this video. I’ve wired mine for series/parallel push/pull pots as I find I much prefer the parallel wiring as it gives a very similar sound to single coils with no 60 cycle hum that standard single coils do. I personally find that type of noise utterly unacceptable at anytime in this modern age. Just my opinion folks... As for guitars, I am typically the only guitar player in our small church and as such I need to cover a lot of sonic territory. As I am cabinetmaker by trade and a semi-pro luthier on the side, I mostly use my own builds. My #1 “worship guitar” is a my own built semi-hollow PRS styled mahogany/Flame maple top and back guitar, 2 humbuckers and a LR Baggs piezo bridge system with stereo output jack: the Mags feeding a Peavey JSX and Ultra Plus wired 7CM stereo with an AxeFx providing signal routing control and f/x’s. The piezo output feeds a TC BodyRez into a traynor AM150 that then goes direct to the board. A second guitar always is on stage as well, either one of my custom shred guitars or sometimes a Jackson DK2S shred guitar often accompanies me because of the Floyd Rose and also the Sustainiac system (I find its better than an ebow for infinite sustainer effects). All I’m trying to offer to the discussion is that whilst I love the LP standard type guitars which are excellent and can be of great benefit, they (nor any other traditional guitar) are the “be all end all”; there is another level of versatility available with similar tone and much more for those of you who need to, like myself, cover more ground because your lack of band membership simply doesn’t have the capacity to. Blessings!

[@Wells306]

If you put a Bigsby on a guitar with the body size of an LP, you need a Bigsby BiggsFix. Despite popular belief, tuning issues aren't always a nut issue. It's often a problem with a steep string angle breaking at the bridge. I installed one on my Gretsch 6128 and have no issues anymore.

[@robertlucas9867]

I am happy to have found a PRS SE single cut 1st gen (without the bird inlays) in a red flame top that I love. It doesn’t have the current pickups but I bought it used for $130 after trade, has original soft case with PRS logo on it and only one scratch that you have to angle just right to see it because it is a thin and difficult scratch to notice. It sounds great, the wiring plus craftsmanship are wonderful on it. I played it through a Mesa Boogie at the store to check the pickups and it sang, I wish I could have bought the Mesa amp with it. I miss Delirious and Stu G sound too. My inspiration for single cut is Phil Keaggy Crimson and Blue album where he used his vintage Les Paul. The Last song on Phil Keaggy’s album “Nothing but the Blood” is clean with delay and maybe reverb through the Les Paul. That is my favorite sound.

[@robertlucas9867]

I missed the chance to see his Les Paul up close when he temporarily allowed the Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of fame showcase it. I hear it is valuable since he is the original owner bought for him.

I appreciate y’all and the content you put out. It has helped me a ton as a worship leader

[@321hellooooo]

There’s tons of content for acoustic worship. No so much for electric guitar. I’d wish more channels would show how to lead worship with an electric. That said I want to use my Les Paul more, it’s just sitting there in closet because almost everything is acoustic setting.

Yeah cause if you look at the double cut, or worse, SG style, there's a definite nod to horns and evil appearance, I suggest go with singlecut. That headstock issue (bent strings angle is exactly one of the reasons I got the 594).

[@scubaman3d]

I agree though the thesis is a little off. There's lots of Gretsch single cut guitars visible in the big five worship bands which one might argue predate Les Paul style guitars and they have even shorter scales. The pickups are different and to that point I see strat, tele, or offset guitars with Les Paul style humbucking pickups/P90s out there - and for that matter, semi-hollow jazz-type guitars which can get muddy as...oh, and Orange AD amps... Find one that's nice to play and tune out the "stuff people say" because the reality is that if there's one genre where "guitar rules" don't matter much, its worship music :D

[@hotman718]

@@worshiptutorials Whiny is not a good word to describe it but I get what he means. A lot of P&W music can be overly somber and melancholy. Not exactly whiny. But the mood is very somber and low energy sometimes. Not that I don't like that style but variety with high energy fun songs are always great.

[@WolfGuitarsandGear]

I’ve used a Les Paul in worship for over 20 years. They are superior in every way to single coil guitars. The thing is you set the amp up differently. And even the playing sections here show that the patches you have setup are designed for single coils: highs too low and gain too high, too much compression. Setup correctly they are plenty bright and chimey but also much more mid punch so you never get lost in the mix and dig in and you push the amp a bit more. The middle is bright and chimey but not the chintzy quack of a strat. Plus no hum. Just depends on the person and how they process tone.
