A professional guitar player can make the cheapest guitar sound good while an amateur playing an expensive pro guitar will always sound horrible.. Its the player / technique that counts. Practice, practice, practice.

Damn, a review guy that can properly shred!

!I really love your playing in this video brother!

Cool video. Subbed. I was secretly hoping to get a tuxedo Custom for my 60th birthday a few weeks ago from my wife, but instead she got me a Gretsch Paisley Black Penguin, which is possibly even better. I still want a Custom though. Next purchase.

For the tuning issues, try a String Butler. It basically is a truss rod cover replacement with rollers attached that creates straight string pull. I have one on my Les Paul an SG, big difference.

I have an OG Special, before they introduced the II, and made the special wrap around. So mine has the Tune-O-Matic and Stop tail piece. Mine also has GFS Big Mouth and Loud Mouth pickups, coil tapped, and is completely customized in a skull theme. I've had it for nearly 20 years now.

28:45 SAME REACTION! :D Love it

That Love Rock is really cool. I have a Fujigen built Japanese Epiphone Les Paul with the open book headstock and its SO good.

12:04 wasn't expecting that

I love it, but you left out like, 5 or 6 different low and mid-range Les Pauls including Juniors, Specials, Moderns and Tributes, most with their own unique attributes

Very nice playing! Oh yeah, and I like the Custom best :)

I have a Tokai MIJ LP and it gets used more than my 78' Gibson Custom. I just purchased a Tokai Premium SG. I'll have it next week. I tried several Gibson SG's and for 2 grand pretty lackluster. For hundreds less Tokai offers their top line and considering I love their mid level LR's, I am confident the SG will be fantastic.

I have an older LP Special with the Tune-O-Matic bridge and the toggle switch on the top. I've had it for over 10 years, and it's still my go-to guitar. I like its simplicity, but it's still considered a "Les Paul". Many memories and gigs with that guitar. I'll give it to my nephew if he'd get off his butt and get serious about playing. Otherwise, I may get buried with it LOL. Are you playing thru that Orange? I was looking into one, but not sure yet. If you're looking for tuning stability, have you looked into the String Butler? I've been looking at them, but not sure how legit they are.

This exactly Epiphone VE with this cherry worn color was my first guitar and i sold her before 2-3 years. Nice guitar with slim neck, lightweight body and nice sound

I really enjoy playing my 2022 Firefly Les Paul in Kawasaki green. Low action, sounds great.

Used to have a les Paul studio and loved it

That's my main guitar right now. I did change the tuners and a graphite nut. I might change the electronics and pickups at some point but it's way better than anything I had as a kid in the 70s and early 80s. I highly recommend the Studio model.

No love for the Studio?

The sound difference is small but what can’t be conveyed through a video is the feel. That’s what you pay more for imo. Quality feel comes from quality components. Stainless steel frets and what not.

Do you have a spotify account with your music?

I recently got a gibson les paul custom in hot pink, never getting rid of it 💅

The Epi special was my first ever electric

Les Paul Custom (‘68 reissue) for the big shows and Chibson for dive bar gigs 👋

My most inexpensive Les Paul is my best playing. It’s a 2001 Korean made, Samick I’m sure. Everything is just right about it. It does weigh about half a ton but I don’t gig it so no issues there. It’s completely factory and I love blind testing folk when they come to the house. Most pick it over my 76 custom 😅 You can pick a good one of these up for £400 or $550. If you get the chance to buy one then do it.

The $2,000 Gibson Standard SG's and LP's have tuning problems. My 78' Custom has tuning issues. I replaced vintage hardware to give it better tuning stability because onstage, tuning stability becomes necessary.

“It’s nothing special” Sir, hold your tongue. That is THE Les Paul Special

Nobody should get a chibson over an Epiphone if they plan on playing it (if you want a Gibson as a wall decoration, that's another thing). They cost pretty much the same and chibsons are known to in the past have serious non-fixable issues (wrong neck angle, maxed out truss rods from the factory, badly treated wood that crack and/or warp as well as blemishes such as chipped out wood where the gaps have been flooded with epoxy or superglue and then finished over

You MUST own or at least try an early Les Paul classic 1991-early 1993. They feel and sound super special.

At level one I spected a Les Paul SL

I've never felt like Slash and I hope I never do, it might affect my playing.

@@sydguitar99 Tokais vary in price range from sub-$1k to over $2k. My Tokai was at the top of tier and I felt it sounded way better than Gibson USA Standards and about on par or better than $7k Gibson Custom Shops. Maybe the Epis are better than the sub-$1k Tokais, but I don't really have experience with those. For my Tokai in particular, the sound, playability and finish thoroughly trumped anything that I played out of Gibson. At least for me, a $2.3k Tokai trumps a $7k Gibson Custom Shop which makes incredibly good value. As for sub-$1k Tokais, many are made in Korea and China so you might be right with those.

With Gibson Les Pauls, as the price goes up, you're basically paying exponentially for appearance. I have a 2015 Faded that I got from direct the Demo shop for 899 with a case. Dot inlays, no binding, and a maple neck (with some flame actually), but the same pickup set as the custom. Between that and the Studio is a sweet spot for value in a range of models that gets expensive fast.

You missed the best one. The '61 Gibson Les Paul is arguably one of the greatest guitars.

You are a awesome player. Always have been. But....lol...get rid of the grandpa Gibson's and get a ESP or PRS single cut that's modern. Made better. Stainless steel frets. $6000 guitar 🎸 that can't keep tune as well as a PRS SE lol 🤣👍🏻

I dont know who, but there is at least one boomer that is drooling knowing that you could own 7 of the exact same shaped guitar, and i wont lie, im a bit mad about it. Mainly cause places like guitar center carry a les paul and strat shape to cater to them, and it unfortunately takes up the entire wall. You'll be lucky to see a flying v.

No no that is no where near level 1 les paul.. if u want to get ancient and have a bare bones les paul I own it. The Epiphone Les Paul SL. Bought this baby awhile back 2019 or so and this thing has 2 single pickups and thats it.

I've picked up and played Gibsons at guitar center, and it may have been they in desperate need of being set up, but always just sounded bad to me for some reason. Epiphone has always been superior to me.
