The difference between Gibson Modern and Original Collections | Les Paul Modern vs Les Paul Special

[@raysteinschlag5531]

I heard only 500 Les Paul Gibson Goldtop was built in 1957. 12.000 still exist. What a wonderful miracle!🤩

[@stratolestele7611]

Just unboxed my new LP Special. Another piece of perfection from Gibson. Wow, do I ever love this one. It will proudly sit alongside the rest of my Les Pauls.

[@ericoswood1856]

I have both and I use them for different styles of music. The Les Paul Modern has so many tones available while the Special has the tones I love for low-fi rock. You need both.

[@GaryDGuitar]

2:27 I use a "weird" string gauge without problems. Usually 9-46, but currently 8-46. No issues.

[@jeanpat8946]

Both of those guitars are awesome ! One more vintage and the other one a killer weapon !!

[@Jxm26]

loved listening to cooper play the original

[@leonardosalomao6855]

Thanks a lot for your video. How do you compare the Modern neck with a standard Gibson ? Who has the fatter neck ?

[@tuco8734]

I prefer the original collection . I’ve been looking at and playing new 2019 Les Pauls lately and I must say Gibson still has a way to go with quality control . There has been some improvement but not enough to justify the high prices they are still demanding.

[@yz127]

Robert Marler Agreed. When these new model finally made their way to Australia, I visited every local music store and tried many of them. They are great guitars but I bought two fenders instead.

[@Panic42000]

My two 19s had zero problems. With that being said, you people that think these MASS produced guitars are going to be perfect every time are deluded. I just bought a two thousand dollar tele with a pickup not wired up correctly. If you want perfection it’s custom shop and that not a guarantee.

[@tuco8734]

BenS123 nobody said they had to be perfect but for $2000 bucks I do expect that it’s playable and doesn’t look like it’s beat up . I too have purchased a 2019 Les Paul but I had to sort through them to find a good one . As for the statement about “ you people “, don’t play like you are so much more wise and knowledgeable. I’ve been playing guitar , and buying them , for over 45 years . I can remember when Gibson made much higher quality guitars consistently than they do now .

[@Panic42000]

Robert Marler Your entire commit is just stupid!!! I bet your one of those people that cry if the guitar is not in tune when you pick it up? Gibson is not sending out guitars that are beat up, give me a break!! You do know that there are cases when a guitar needs a setup right? Especially when people beat the shit out of it all day in store? Wow!! You sound like a crybaby!

[@tuco8734]

BenS123 your the one crying

The LP Special TV Yellow is just gorgeous, and there is some special vibe on the Special with P90's, that the Standard Gold with P90's doesn't have, in my opinion. Both are amazing guitars but I want that Yellow :)

[@stephengray5808]

u will love the tv yellow I got mine for 1500 guitar center

[@onlyguitars]

@@stephengray5808 Purchased 1 like 2 months ago. Best guitar I have ever played. Love it!!

[@DesperadoStudios]

The Les Paul Special came out in 1955, one year after the Junior. 1958 is when they changed the lineup to double cut versions. ;)

[@cg9952]

So am I the only one that feels like the "old Guy" is trying to coach the "new Guy"?

[@PapaJohnsBlues]

Lol, it's hilariously noticeable. It's a bit of a presentation test, isn't it.

[@PapaJohnsBlues]

But Cooper sounds fantastic, so I think he's there to play, not geek out on technical specifications too much.

[@roygertel]

Bcz he's the active in bed !!

[@jasonq111]

I have that exact LP Special and I love it. It is a purists guitar. I also have an LP Standard and ES335 and I love both.

[@lefty1949]

Nice job. Would have been better to show both versions of the Standard for a more precise comparison. Thanks guys!

[@joshs3905]

I played a standard 60s and a modern side by side and as much as my hear said the 60s there's something about the neck on the modern that is so comfortable.

[@rickhill6277]

Nice Vid Guys! Is that a Fender Bassbreaker 30R Combo you’re using?

[@AlamoMusic]

It is indeed. - Chris

[@stevennelson1912]

Does anyone know what pieces Cooper was playing? I would love to get an album of that type of guitar music. -Steve

[@jag1099]

Can't wait for the new 2020 EPIPHONE line, especially the Epiphone Les Paul Special in TV yellow. Maybe do a showdown between the Gibson and the Epiphone Specials??

[@bastardofbodom07]

Shout out here from Texas as well! Great video boys.

[@edwhite7475]

just got the Epiphone like this...set neck...its awesome

[@clintcurtis9630]

What fender amp is that ?

Jimmy Page wiring on the Modern, I'm waiting for my Led Paul Special in the mail as I write this and can't wait!

[@gilbertrockstv8557]

Love that TV Yellow LP Special, do you guys have any opinion on the ideal weight for that guitar? I know it's totally subjective, but would love to hear your thoughts if you have one. Keep on creating.

[@Moto_737]

i think the real reason its called tv yellow is because it is a telecaster. why would gibson want the student striped down version on tv.

[@artrogers3985]

Good God Coops! Were you thirteen years old when you shot this video? 😉 🎸

[@CarlosdelValle]

love the special!

[@trenthogan4212]

The LP Modern annihilates the Special. Way more versatile and IMO much better tones.

[@alraymond1618]

Let's dispute the 'T.V' Yellow origin story of yellow looking better on TV in the 50s, once and for and all: Think about it: what is the likelihood that a professional musician who was fortunate and rare enough to make it onto a televised program would be using a guitar that was aimed to the student and beginner demographic? Anyone see Joe Bonamassa playing a Fender Squire lately?

[@TeleCaster66]

Hahaha, good point. I laughed at Squiers until I did a gig opening for Ronnie Spector in the early 90's and Daniel Rey was playing lead guitar on a Squier and it sounded great. I've had a couple and though they aren't like my custom shop Strat they are fun.

[@beenderedonedat]

Didn't know Legolas played guitar

[@shadowspeakeasy310]

That amp wasn't made for low volume....turn up! And get a true sound

[@Brembelia]

Good job, guys. :)

[@anniedarkhorse6791]

Nobody seems to like the Moderns all that much.

[@gorlagOv]

I also noticed that too. I think they are hard to get ahold of. The colors are ok. When they came out people were mad at Gibson. I just got one in a trade. They are really awesome in person, I picked up a red one. I think when all the people get tired of their 10 to 13 pound Les Paul’s they will run to them. It’s a cool model insane specs, ebony boards. Definitely worth a try. I don’t like the clear knobs, I switched them out.

[@NYCguitarist]

Good, I'm looking to buy one cheap

[@BARKINGattheMOON100]

7:50 Peter Greens neck pickup was wired by the devil's own hand. Man had to pay the price.😱😱😱

[@mscformeditation]

You take out the pentatonic in A from a guitarist and you get rid of 90% of these demos… Gives an idea of the sounds a bit

[@anthonyarredondo2682]

I only buy older Gibson guitars at least 20yrs old !!😁👍

[@Panic42000]

Anthony Arredondo Good for you!

[@anthonyarredondo2682]

@@Panic42000 Thanks !! Have a nice day !!😁👍

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

Same. Before 1984 is best. If you don't go by this rule then get a 90s one when the good wood era was a thing. After that though... Yeesh lol.

[@izyfication]

Talking too much

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

They are all weak sauce sad to say. Gibson brand name went to shit when they moved to Tennessee around 83 or 84. ever since they have been all about short cuts and over charging without giving a EF what us consumers think. Heritage guitars. They still operate out of the factory that MADE Gibson Gibson. Buy from them. They offer better everything basically. If you buy a gibson from Tennessee and it actually holds up over the decades, it just means you're lucky. As the ol saying goes. If your new gibson stays in tune... Must be fake china stuff lol.

[@makerKID5]

Wow, maybe I might just start playing authentic.

[@stephengray5808]
