Hermano, you're so talented! Great shredding! I ordered the 60s Bourbon Burst. Can't wait to receive it 🔥

Ive got a 50's standard in heritage cherry sunburst and absolutely in love with it. Apparently the missus knew I was going to be walking out of the shop with it as soon as I played the first string. lol. I only went in for a nose as I didn't realise the shop sold new Gibsons lol. I didn't even try the 60's standard even though I had the chance to. I just instantly fell in love with the 50's.

I was not expecting those killer licks! Great review man!

Thank you for posting this video. Just what I was looking for. Your tone and playing are both excellent. Not sure I understand you signal chain completely but the tone is truly outstanding.

Nice video, I am looking to buy a new les paul and this helped out alot. This is the only video that I could find highlighting the differences in sound back to back with a playing style that I want to hear (rock/metal.)

The tone on the 60s is so freakin sick. You play so great too man. Love the sound of the 60's

Hermoso video amigo, disculpa que software usaste en tu pc? Por ejemplo guitar rig

I got my hands on a 50's one. They're both amazing. Personally I prefer lower output pickups - but both are literally amazing. if you have one, hope you're enjoying it!

Nice job Tony! When I played the two at my local music store, I thought the 1960 was more chimney when played clean the the 1950’s.

Both are so so nice. Amazing. I just bought the 50s and prefer the slightly lower output pickups and slightly bigger neck

Excellent tone and playing, Tony! Both sound amazing in your hands. I think the 60's wins in the end, for me. \m/\m/

Love your playing style Good review

you're a no nonsense cat and that's cool. You get straight to the point and play..subbed.

Great... Thanks to you i didn't make a mistake selling my fender custom shop for this Gibson 50' even it's a good guitar but not like my fender.. You are cleaned my thoughs... Thank you so much

Love the 50’s - it’s basically an affordable R9 Both great though.

you have an awesome playing style man sounds great

Wowowowowooow, great playing man! :) Cheers, keep it up!

Beautiful guitars and beautiful playing

So years ago I bought 2004 a 50's Standard. Then I bought a Gold Top 50's made mid December 2019. Well the Gold Top neck is a big. So now I realize the 2004 Standard with no weight relief is a 60'S. Different but..... both are terrific.( I do prefer the 60's slimmer neck because of all my Strats are not as thick.) nice video.

hey men i got both guitars, youre reviews are top notch!...thanks!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘...i play my 60s more!🤘

Amazing playing!

Great, I have the 50s. I always think a fairer comparison between lower and higher gain pickups is to do what you did but also do a comparison where you up the the gain on the amp for the lower output pups so they are both pushing the amp at much the same level.

they nailed it with these new standards, love these guitars. would have to decide based on the neck feel I think, if choosing one.

I know it's a year late, but it's more than the neck.. You got different pickups, different wiring. Pickups are easy to swap, but changing the wiring requires you to unbend some legs on the pots (which is something I wouldn't want to deal with) Then of course if you care about looks, you got different grade tops (although it can vary quite a bit, AA maple top 60s sometimes seem to get AAA+) and colours

Both sound great and your playing is awesome! I know that you stated that Rock is what you do but I would be able to hear more difference between the two guitars with a clean setting. Most of what I hear are your effects in this video. No offense, just sharing my feelings. I’m going to go play both of these and compare them on Saturday of this week and will probably bring one of them home! They’re both good color and fair flame. It’s gonna come down to the necks and pickups for me. Of course pickups can be changed but necks can’t! Thank you for your hard work!!!

There are no differences between them besides the knobs, the pickups, the tuners, the neck profile and the colors. :) I would say, almost everything is different. Amazing playing btw.

What this amazing video proves is only that when you put your 10k hours in the playing any guitar sounds awesome. Alnico 2 (50’) or 5 (60’) don’t really matter at that point. Great playing, thanks man.

Nice playing. To me, the 50s neck is just how a Les Paul is supposed to look, feel, and play. It's got character.

I've always preferred the 50's style neck but since owning a Standard 60's, I think I've been converted.

Prefer the 50's. The neck I believe has a bit more girth to it. Love those Cluson Tuners. Either way. Agree both are c awesome guitars. Great Demo. Machismo Gracias.🙂👍🎸

The Alnico V is more defined good for chorus and gain cuts thru mix better , The Burstbucker 2 is great for classic rock one of my favorite pickups in bridge

Nice tone! What amp/effects are you using ?

Great video! I currently own a Gibson Les Paul Studio 2020 in Tangerine burst. I absolutely love it! But, I am now ready to invest in a standard. Both of these guitars right here sound equally awesome to me. The 60’s is a bit brighter while the 50’s is warmer and fuller in tonality. I personally prefer to have a slimmer taper on the neck, and the Grover machine heads. I would also like to have a standard in the heritage cherry sunburst color as well. I wish the necks were interchangeable. This is quite challenging. Do you know if it would be difficult to swap out the vintage deluxe tuners for the Grover’s on the 50’s model? I wouldn’t want to alter the hole size or leave any exposed holes neither. Gibson guitars are works of art that can depreciate in value if damaged, and I really just don’t want to tamper too much with them.

I own several models with the 50's aesthetic so I decided to purchase the 60's and it rips. Almost has the shred feeling to it minus that fact that it's still a Les Paul.

The mids of the 50’s are way more warm and sustain longer on your pinched harmonics, but the 60’s sounds brighter and more open. However it seemed to not sustain as long on your pinched harmonics. Could’ve been the way you played each guitar differently, but I like the 60s neck with the 50’s pickups 😂 looks like I may have to swap mine idk they both sound sick af tbh

Ambas suenan majestuosas, estan construidas con el mismo tipo de maderas. Lo que las hace sonar un poco diferentes en este caso son las pastillas. Seguramente si las hubiera comparado con sonido limpio o semi limpio hubieramos captado mas la diferencia tonal de estas joyas. Cabe mencionar que algunas veces comparando guitarras que son identicas en todo sentido, aún así llegan a sonar un poco diferente porque cada guitarra tiene su propia esencia.

Yes a lot more chunky than my SG or moden Flying V and even an LTD Les Paul I have but I like that a lot. I do enjoy both modern and old necks. It's still very slim compared to an acoustic guitar.

Not a bad demo mate, nice playing, but with this much gain its only natural to me that A5 pickups will sound better, or 'right'. Might like to hear some cleans and crunch, and better still, both guitars with identical pickups. Many people will swap them out anyway.

Im a strat player looking for an LP. Like the looks of the tuners on the 60 better. Will probably also like the slimmer neck. Unfortunately I think the 50 sounds a tad better.

The 60's sounds better for rock/metal, especially on the pinch harmonics.The 50's would be better for a warmer blues sound. Both are sick but I prefer the sixties sound cuz I play more metal and rock. Thanks for the comparison 🤘🤘 I just ordered the 60's but wasn't sure if I choose the right one. Great playing thanks !!

Yes, the 50s sounds great and warm. Excellent for clean and mid gain. Perfect iconic Classic hard rock tone. BUT for higher gain... the 60s is perfect because it doesn't get muddy. I think the 60s is very close to active pickups but with a lot more clarity, texture and dynamics.

That 50s model yo. Kluson tuners, fat neck and those warmer pickups. Oooooof

I think the 60's has better clarity. Maybe because the mids were fatter on the 50's? But the 50's seemed to sustain better. It's hard to say for sure, but I noticed that you were more inspired to hold notes longer on the 50's. A lot of times if you look at what you are inspired to play by a guitar it'll give you what you need to know to define the differences.
