Best Les Paul demo video I’ve ever seen. Intelligent format, thorough yet concise, points out similarities and differences in each model, and features great playing. This is the video I will be showing my students. Well Done!

Great comparison and and great playing! Thank you for going over all the options and features of each guitar....very helpful. I really like the versatility and the different sounds of the Classic. Thanks again!

This is just the perfect rundown and review! All tones methodically covered and really tasteful playing, really enjoyed it. Top work, thanks 🙏

Your ability to bring out the subtle differences in these guitars is so impressive.

Literally spent all of last week comparing these models. So this video is amazing and greatly appreciated!

Great demo vid. Excellent product knowledge - cleared a few things up for me. Thanks.

Let's not forget the formidable Studio model, aesthetic aside, pure punch and sustain!

Great video! Great tones shared and great playing!

There is always at least one spot in Jack’s demo playing that puts a smile on my face. Without fail.🤠

Just found your channel a few days ago with the "Tele / Strat / LP Riffs" series. Really nice job comparing these and you have an excellent playing style for these demos. Thanks.

This channel is gonna be huge really soon, the more videos, the better

Killin’ it as usual man. Love to hear Jack play. Great video y’all!

Really enjoying these demos Jack, well done sir!!

Really well done. Fantastic tone, fantastic playing. You really do these proper justice and milk everything a rock and roller would do with them (though I have a feeling that you're capable of quite a few styles!) I love the 'dry Marshall' tone you dialed in. I got a 60's Standard 6/19. Before that, I looked for a new Les Paul for 20 years and finally settled for PRS Singlecuts, but they never scratched my itch. Since the Les Paul purchase, I've added an SG '61 Standard and a Les Paul DC Special. Love them all - though the new SG needed fretwork done (dead spots) which kind of disappointed me, but my tech will get it right in no time. Thanks for a great vid!

Fantastic demo Jack- love your playing and attitude - terrific talent!

I was hell bent on getting the 60s for it's slim taper neck but after hearing this demo I think the Classic sounded the best. And it's modest look speaks to me the most as well.

was just going to say the same. The classic sounded amazing.

Picked up a 50's Standard Cherry Burst for recording and couldn't be happier. It plays beautiful, has great clean tones and stays in tune.

Really good video! I bought the 2020 standard 50s in tobacco burst. I play with the pick guard off, as I like the look. I got it at the beginning of lockdown, and it’s 3am, and I am still playing. I don’t want to wake the house up, so I play unplugged at night, doing scales and riffs. I have other LPs and this is my favorite, as it has specs like a custom shop, and I think it’s better. Thanks again for the time. Steve

I have a 2019 Les Paul Classic Satin limited edition, with classic 57 and Super 57 pickups and a 50s rounded neck with Grover tuners, built in Dec 2018. It’s a real hybrid between 50s and 60s. Great guitar and has that woodyness I was searching for in a single cut. BTW Jack, your playing is absolutely fantastic! Wish I had your chops brother!

excellent demonstration Jack, that jam on the 50s standard...enjoyed it very much! keep it up!

It's all in the fingers. Didn't tire listening to this demo. Very fresh playing

Best review and comparison I’ve seen for these models. 👍🏼

This has been super helpful! I was really leaning towards the 50's, but I wanted the slim taper neck, and I didn't like the color options of the 60's. Lo and behold: the Classic! Heritage cherry sunburst, slim taper neck, and open coil pickups! Now I have the right Gibson!

Great playing, as always!

What a fantastic review! Brilliant player!

Very Good assessment of all the Les Pauls would love to see a Murphy Labs assessment as well ,Great Job

Played all of them this past weekend, and for me the classic was the best playing, sounding, and resonating. I bought the classic. I’m in love with it! Owned a 2001 standard and the classic is the only one that comes close to it.

Excellent review, thanks!!

The king of farting tone. The substaine and depth same as my farts. The farting guitar. People love farts.

Among these, the 50s Standard would be my pick 100%. The Classic would be 2nd as it's quite a bit cheaper, looks great and has the extra tonal options. Looks like a better 60s version in my opinion. But 50s Goldtop with P90s is the only LP I'd buy personally, for the kind of music that I play.

Thank you! This was super informative. I love that Classic LP.

Excellent comparison vid! I’m currently awaiting a Flame Maple Trad Pro V that’s shipping my way. To me, it seems to marry the 50’s trad feel/sound with the modern tech and multi-tonal options from the splits&taps of the push-pull pots.

Hello from France. Classic for me, and the duesenberg caribou just behind you. I have the same... Now i want a les paul classic in addition

Surprised how good the coil split sounded on the Classic. Usually they sound fairly crap (coil splits), but this sounds really quite good.

Beyond happy with my 60’s standard. I play both clean and high gain. Now my clean isn’t completely a true clean because I have a Marshall dsl20cr so it’s a clean gain. But you can turn the gain down, volume up, use your guitars knobs to get the desired tone, then between my drive and compressor pedals I can boost the volume. I know it’s a lot to get desired tones but you have a ton of range. Also once you switch over to channel 2 it’s absolutely glorious. Gives all the old school rock tones you desire. I love the 50’s especially for the fatter tone. But it doesn’t fit my playing style and I prefer Grover tuners and a thinner neck profile.

I liked the 60s the best. I definitely heard a Jimmy Page and Alex Lifeson influence in your playing, well done. The classic also has a nice range of tone choices.

It's not just mental. The tuners, and really every component on the guitar have an effect on the tone. You called it right Excellent review btw.

My problem is that I fall in love with all guitars! I just got a 50s and I love it. Last year I picked up a special with P90s for $600 and it is one of the best guitars I own. You don’t have to spend a lot for a great guitar these days. Just buy what inspires you to play. Now I’m hunting for an amp that sounds like this one.

I have a LP classic 2019, and I love it!

I ended up getting a 60s standard in bourbon burst. I kinda like fat necks but it just felt easier to play for longer on the 60s and something about the feel and tone and the beautiful top on this particular one sold me hard. I fell in love for sure.

Killer playing and demo! In the old days (mid '90's), the "Classic" model had ugly greenish fret markers, super high output uncovered 498/490 pickups, and a '1960' engraved on the pickguard. It was the only way to get a slim taper neck though.

I don't think I have ever heard "Best I Can" in a gear demo before. 🤘🤘🤘

Great video. I could hear the most tone difference in the 50s model!

Oof, thought the Classic was best for my taste. Awesome playing from Jack as always 🤘

Holy crap, your playing is awesome, Sir! The sounds from the 50's Tobacco burst actually made my legs twitch when you hit certain notes. I'm in the market for a Standard, and I looking for a 60's as the slimmer neck, reflector knobs and Grover tuners appeal to me. But I've always been a sucker for tobacco burst all since that Slash model back in... 2004 ish?

Love the Rush song you snuck in there!

Great video!

I have a '50's Standard in the tobacco burst. LOVE IT!

I got the LP Special a year ago, and it's just a monster guitar. Right now I recently got an Eastman SB59, waiting for it. Really looking forward to it. But from the video it's the Standard 50's. Has the perfect neck profile and love the BB 1 & 2. But for the money, the Gibson LP Special and Eastman can't be beat.

Sonicly for me, the 50s is definately the best without a doubt. Unfortunately I'm not so into the finishes for those guitars. I know, it would not be historically accurate and all, but imagine a 50s Style Les Paul in Bourbon Burst or Iced Tea... That would be the absolute dream for me 😍

Splendid watchable and informative video with superb playing. My own choice would be the Classic - I though the extra sounds were splendid. Plus I prefer a plain-topped Les Paul, strange man that I am ...

Excellent comparison video, the Classic for me although I would rather have a series/parallel than that Bridge specific pot.

You rocked that 60s standard man!! If that wasn't your favorite guitar of the bunch you could of fooled me...

The Classic sounded amazing!

Very well done

I really dig the Ace style riffs! Such tasty licks.

Gibson LP Slash owner here… sounds and looks amazing!

I’m currently in the market for a Les Paul Standard and I really appreciate this video. With the difficulty involved in putting your hands on higher-end guitars right now to personally evaluate, it’s helpful having a skilled presenter talk about the variation in features. One quick question for point of clarification. Is the neck on the Slash model the same as the Les Paul Standard 50s model? Thank you for the very helpful video!

That 50s Standard, from 11:00 to 12:00 awesome crunchy airy tone, almost got some fender bite & angryness ...great guitar, definately 50s Standard

Jack is so good! Thanks bro...great comparison....50s tobacco!

i love the gold top for the 50's Les Paul, but i like the sound and the neck more for the 60's. I wish i had both!!

Got Two 60's Classics.1 Gold top ,1 Sunburst with Bare knuckle pick ups.😍🤘

Very interesting Thanks man

I've got a 60s as I prefer the slim taper. I consistently find it to be a very sweet and round tone. I've got a '61 SG RI that also has the 61r/t pickups. I guess I'm just an unabashed fan of those pickups - though I know I would be more than happy with the BB 1&2s. I've got BB 2&3s in another Les Paul. Like them a lot, but prefer the 61R&Ts for their sweetness and complexity. Got a great deal on a blem Classic (which consisted of few scratches that I easily polished off). I LOVE it! It's become my workhorse LP. I grab it 4 to 1 over my others because there's just something about its presence and punch. Funny thing about the weight relief - can't notice any difference than my 60s, though my other LP is definitely heavier.

Loved that you played best I can by Rush 👏👏👏

I purchased a 60's unburst. Searched Sweetwater site until i found an amazing top! Also just got the new Slash goldtop, also have an amazing 2017 CS Slash Anaconda. The Seymour Duncan's Alnico pro's just blow away the "Slashbuckers "...hands down. Only reason i got the new Slash goldtop is because the head administrator of the Fender/Les Paul forum has more disposable income that he just reviews 70% of what he purchases then sells them. Got that goldtop for 2,000 with an hour of playing on it and pro setup. No tax and still smelled new! Weighs 10.5 pounds though. Jack is a skilled player!😁👍🤘
