Man I love these guitars. Over the past year I bought a AAA cherryburst 50’s, a gold top p90 50’s, and a AAA bourbon burst 60’s. All great axes. And that’s some kick ass playing your laying down.

Great review and great playing!

Very clear and informative overview of the specs of each guitar, with tasty playing. Agree on the Tobacco Burst looking fantastic on a Les Paul. I hope some left-handed models make it to the UK (there are one or two lefties available in USA shops).

I bought them both. But I seem to find myself playing the 60’s one more! I love it!

Really, really awesome soulful guitar player. Very nice feel.

Both amazing guitars ,great demo,my choice was the 60's because of the slim taper neck profile and the hotter pickups and that bourbon burst shade.......wow ❤

@@dannysartain4198 I can not decide between the 50s an 60s.. One thing I know is that I want the one with the more brighter pickups. I hate the MUD of humbuckers, some call it warmth, I call it mud. Does the 50s have a nice bright top end?

@DesignInNature

4 жыл бұрын

jarry Dee Yes, the 50’s has the brightest top end out of the two. The pickups on the 60s are higher output, and thus hotter. They both sound great. However, while the bottom and top end of the 50s is more defined and less compressed than on the 60s, they are BOTH Burst bucker pickups. Those are by their very nature, what you describe as “Muddy”. I think you will still not be too happy with the sound on the 50s model. Maybe you are a Stratocaster or Telecaster player at heart? I’m the total opposite. I always thought I was a Strat man, because it’s what I learned on and all other guitars felt and sounded weird to me. I gravitated to their single coil, focused straight sound because of Hendrix, SRV, Clapton and Blackmore. Not to mention they are much cheaper than Les Pauls. Then one day I walked into a guitar shop and grabbed a cheap Gibson Les Paul tribute, and was FLOORED by the sounds I could get plugged straight to a cheap Fender modeling amp. It was like a Gary Moore or Slash type of long, singing sustain and grit to the tone. Mind you, that guitar was ugly, but still cheaper than a standard Strat. It was all Gibson for me after that. I bought a 60s Gibson Les Paul this year. I would love to be able to buy a 50s one to own the pair, but I could barely afford the first one to begin with. Either one is outstanding. If you like a clearer, more focused top end, the SG models for this year are VERY good and cheaper than the Les Paul. Otherwise you can buy either the 50’s or 60’s Les Paul, with the Knowledge that you will likely change the pickups for Seymour Duncan 59’s, or something else that really gets the clear, bright PAF sound on a Les Paul. I hope this helps.

"Always reminds me of..umm... just some of my favourite guitar players that play Les Paul's"

I was heading in to my local guitar shop to pick up the 50's in Tobacco when lo and behold on the counter was a 50's in Cherry SB that a guy returned 15mins prior-decided he preferred a gold top- they discounted it 1,000 so I bought it then and there. I think the 50's sounds sweeter and love the neck profile. The Alnico 5's of the 60's sounds a little generic to my ear, especially with high gain, the clean might be on par with the alnico 2's. Anyway, great review, glad Gibby's are back!!

Well this is just meant to be. I’ve narrowed it down to a Tobacco Burst or a Bourbon Burst and I can’t decide which (playing them and feeling the neck will help with that) but here I am researching and come across this video...and you’re playing the two options I’ve narrowed it down to. Awesome.

But, I want a cherry sunburst finish with grover rotomatic machine heads. So, I am torn between these two guitars right here. Any suggestions? Don’t want to tamper too much with a work of art

Your playing is f*****g awesome!

Appreciate the review! Throw me a Les Paul and I’m gonna crank that amp! Tired of all these clean tone reviews. Thanks for getting right to it and playing Samir tasty licks

I prefer the heritage cherry finish as long as it isn't a Tomato burst Mine has nice wide flame and is 8.4 lbs It's a good one Very happy with my 2019

To my ears, chords sound much better on the 60s but individual notes sound much brighter on the 50s therefore the 60s is the ultimate rhythm guitar and the 50s is the ultimate soloing machine

Great playing!!! thanks for the great review and the amazing videos you post I had the chance to try one of these LP50’s with the MHS pickups... wow really amazing! Anyone try it that way? Any thoughts..!?

Thanks!What string gauge is set...9-46 ?

Great video man!! You prefer 50’s model. You said better in your hands... You have big hands?

The first run seems the flame on guitars was better...some now I see on websites the tops maple aren’t as prevalent in regard to chevron,stripes,flame AA tops ...I bought a 60’s unburst when they just came out...the top is pretty....the guitar is a good one heavy but like a les Paul should be...no gimmicky things..

Drop top caps? Capacitors with little folding roofs?

Any guitar with humbucker pickups would sound “metallic” through that hot of an amp, and those line of Gibson’s are nice, no true ABR-1 bridge tho..

Got the 50’s Tobacco Burst. Fricking great. Not as good as my PRS 594 but damn good for the price. Just wondering if the 60’s neck would have been better... the combination of 12” radius and fat neck are a bit of a mismatch for me... if fretboard were 10” it might flow a bit better when playing w/such a fat neck. The combination of fat neck & flatter radius feels like you have to reach w/fingers to really fret the notes ... and the action is lower so your fingertips have to dig a bit more to ensure you catch the strings on bends. my hands are not small. Love the fat neck but have a 60’s neck on a studio LP and it’s more effortless to play. The burstbuckers on 50’s standard are very good but not as great as my PRS 58/15 LT’s. The PRS patten vintage neck is fat but not as rounded c so not as cumbersome. Tension on the 50’s standard is a bit too slinky w/10’s but PRS tension/feel is spot on. PRs is obviously much more money so the 50’s standard is one hell of a guitar for the price... i can see the 50’s standard becoming my #1 after I give it more time & practice.

The 59 sounds much richer and fuller. The 60 is definitely more aggressive and in your face. I find like all higher output PU's they smear the tone. A single note sounds rock solid where as a medium gain PU the individual overtones ring separately not fuse together as one tone.
