NOONE has ever said that LPs sound bad. What everyone says is that they are NOT WORTH THE ASKING PRICE. Hide glue is not expensive or difficult to apply. The CNC process has made guitar manufacturing cheap and quick. A 6000$ PRS has had research and development value, in materials, shape, wood densities, body thickness, tuning machines, bridge ergonomics, bridge and saddle alloys for better tone, controls placement, even proprietary pickus. That is alot of R&D and a lot of tangeable value reflected on the price tag. A 6000$ LP is actually a 2000$ guitar honestly. No R&D since the 60s, electronics are standard stuff, pickups are just burstbuckers with different magnet and winding levels, standard off-the-shelf hardware. The whole "trying to replicate" argument does not exist. The shape, weight, wood type, tooling and materials required is not a secret for 70 years now. Their only effort has been the lacquer composition to meet modern enviromental requirements and the need to age unreallistically quick. I do own a True Historic 59. Best LP I've ever played, best LP I've ever even heard. Does anything I ask of it. Spanky, tele on steroids if you so wish. Gritty, Kossof vibes if you so wish. Sizzly leads, Gary Moore style if you so please. Thick, woody and juicy, Snowy White style if you so desire. Huge, honky, punchy, Bonamassa style if that's what you are going for. Honestly a GREAT guiitar. But nothing there that justifies the price tag. I don't own a PRS. But you know those things are worth the money.

I do not have. But I picked up tha G itself, a ML 59 I believe, not even unlocking it at GC, just lifting it. Very crackled. Man it smelled amazing, right now I have the memory. Dream thick neck

I just got an R9 that is the best guitar I've ever played, and I think its worth the money. Yolo. Imho the vintage style reissues capture what the old Les Pauls were like-- Telecasters on steroids

You wasn't even in the pipeline to be on this planet.... Never lived the horny, sweet, delight of the '70s. Please I did; LP geartalk was futile - to taste until you met THE one gorgeous wich made y'r drooling & raise a family put our child well educated and crafted for the deplored 2000's. Well I and still hottie became grandparents.... our reward from keeping the openminded fun-joy from the cosy '70s. . As grandpatents we love to turn back time and swallow eachothers honey. 🥰❤️

It's like getting involved with the finest madden in the land, I'll never be able to go back to fat chicks

You sold me.

No shine ! Il get a prs , maybe get some t cut on it polish that dullness away ,

Now you have to try a Murphy Lab heavy aged🤣 another step above. I thought it was all just hype.

This vid is giving this R0 a legend status. But the moment you write a couple of songs (that become popular) instantly makes this guitar part of world History.

I bought one a year ago after listening to your video and for me, the Gibson R0 I got is worth every penny I invested in it. You will never get better sounds on cheaper Les Pauls than the ones you get on the R0 or R9. Just for the good vibrations I get from the sound of the notes every time I pick up the guitar, that is everyday, to me, this is priceless.

On the R0's Its the proper neck angle to the body that allows a low action setup with the bridge and tailpiece low on the body. I have a pet peave with LP's that have the bridges and the tail pieces in the stratosphere.

Last year I bought the 60th anniversary 1960 V1 neck model. I borrowed the money to buy it as I could not believe the store I got it from still had one a few years after they came out. I took about 2 hours to make up my mind and to ask myself am I nuts to be spending this much money on one guitar. I went ahead and took out the loan and bought it. For a week or two after buying it I was still thinking “ohhh my god I’m nuts”. Well it’s now just a little over a year since I bought it and whenever I have free time it’s never out of my hands. Yes there is other brands who make instruments in the same price range and in their design are a more “finely set up guitar” but for me they have no passion for me. I guess I’ve always wanted a vintage standard burst Les Paul and I know a lot of that is from looking at all the legends down the years who played them. I could keep going on and on about various reasons for and against. I connected with my guitar in a way I have never with other guitars I have. My Les Paul straight in my Amp = heaven. :-)

I too was skeptical about Gibson Custom Shop reissues being worth the price, having played and been pleased with standard production Gibson models for years. I too was made to understand. Now I own an R9 and I'm wondering why I waited so long (aside from the cost).

I’m jealous! That’s my exact dream guitar.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I just got my dream R8 in Dirty Lemon VOS and it's the finest guitar I've ever owned. It feels fantastic in my hands, looks amazing and the custom buckers are incredibly clear compared to my SG pickups that sound muffled. Congrats!

It’s funny all young dude talk shit about gibson, till they can afford one and finally get to experience the sound, ease of playability, and history of Gibson. They even get Les Paul shaped guitars to clone the experience.

Man I think you did an amazing purchase, for me any musical instrument has to pull me in, you have the most beautiful Ice Tea burst Les Paul I have seen on all CZcams. And like you said somewhere in the middle of the video, it grows on you. There is just something magical about a couple of the Finishes Gibson makes. It looks so absolutely beautiful, it is a piece of art ! Not to mention the incredible quality on the components. Bad Ass ! Congrats on your guitar!

I have the honeyburst 2011 version. Great guitars, bargain too!!

Yeah its an expensive lifetime purchase for sure. But if it’s your number one you will play your whole life, totally go custom shop. My number one is a 335 so I went custom shop. But my LP SG Junior is just different flavors in the home studio. So those are all just Standards. But if any of those were my number one players, that would be custom shop but standards are so freaking good Im good with production models, they still arent cheap, and they still play amazing.

Great video .. buy what makes you happy.. once you go Gibson custom shop it’s very hard to go back ✨🖤✨

MEANWHILE the Black Custom Les paul of Beauty Honor will always live perpetually in my mind and soul

Sounds great man, what do you think of the EMGs?

If comparing, rather than xtimes an LP from the Standard production line, one should compare it to the real deal: the original '60s Burst. I'd say that for about 35 times less, it gives you all you can get. Similar feeling, weight, sound, only better playability and new ! In 50 years from now, you probably won't see a difference... Cheers

nothing beats the mojo of a Gibson Les Paul..I no longer own one but I regret selling mine.

I used to think the same way as you. The Historic Collection is twice the price of a regular Les Paul, the Murphy Lab is three times the price, and the Heavy Aged one is even more expensive. One day, when I was browsing the internet late at night, I saw a Les Paul that I really liked. I thought about it for about an hour, then emailed the guitar shop and asked them to put it on hold. I couldn't sleep that day, but I went to a guitar shop that day, saw the Les Paul, tried it out, and decided to buy it. It's an expensive guitar, but my satisfaction was worth the price. I was able to get a dream guitar for the same price as the Real Burst I saw around 1980. Just like the latest Porsche is the best Porsche, it is the latest and best burst clone. Of course, I also know the goodness of classic things.

Hey, I appreciate your video... Has your viewpoint changed over the last year owning this guitar????? do you still stand by it??? Thx

Once you play a good one you understand

Nice Guitar, but does it stay in Tune?

Hey mate. Is it worth buying for a rythum guitarist as that's what I do and sing. I have the Noel Gallagher Epiphone Signature Rivera but want something special for my 50th birthday this year much to the wife's discuss lol. Can you advise. Love the vid mate

That dulled body finish polishes out real easy

The price tag on these gibson custom shop guitars is what people often forget. your not paying 250,000k for the original 1960. Yet your getting a chance to own and play one as if you actually were in the 1960 yourself. But i get everyone wants the best cheapest guitar they can find. I have 20 plus guitars myself. No matter what you say no Epiphone will be the same as a custom shop Gibson .because Gibson wont have them make epiphones or normal gibsons with the same construction and paint. Close but not exact.

I own the older brother lol. I had to check out the R8, R9 and R0 and played them all and went home with the R8. I chose the R8 because acoustics wise it rang better for whatever reason unplugged. When I played them all I preferred the neck on the R8 it for my hand perfectly. All of them are great guitars whether people believe in the price or not. I don’t think that matters when you want that it factor, my opinion. The unpotted PUps are amazing. And I’m proud to say it’s my number one and it does everything I want.

All hail the riff master Lord Iommi! Praise be to Iommi, obey the heavy riff!🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😈😈😈

Yes that's one of the nicest looking 60s reissue I've seen, yes I agree PRS ect may be engineered well but they are lifeless, soleless, have no character, now any R8, R9, R0, even standard factory LPs are full of it, pure individuals.

Your playing and rig sound great. I gotta find an R0 to try out.

Cool description and principles applied here 👍 I’ve got an R9 but it’s so nice to play I don’t take it out much so I use an epiphone LP Custom Pro which I also adore, but it gets regular abuse among other slightly more expensive guitars.

I didnt like the Custombuckers in the R9, Antiquity`s sound much more like Vintage to me, $388 at Sweetwater.

I played an R0 with a nice wide flame and I had to put it down before I gave them all my money😂 they are built so well. But not that far off from Gibson USA tho

same happened to me with my R9. I am a believer now

P r o m o s m

Awesome review brother!

So much talking... and so bad playing.... 👎

Nice guitar. I have 5 LP'S I need a custom shop LP now.

Next stage - 59 replica from old wood

I’m glad you mentioned the replay option after arena fights. I used to love rewatching my fights too. I was thinking that was missing from the game the other day

Best of all, 0 woke shit!!!

I think the game is pretty stellar for the most part. Though I wish there was a no checkpoints difficulty option. Still have some of the supply sherpas though. Also buff rifles some more.

I can understand your criticisms of the checkpoint system. At times it can feel like you're undermining the difficulty of missions by smashing your head at the same boss over and over rather than playing conservatively or strategically. As a person who isn't the best gamer in the world, I really like the checkpoint system because they let you access the garage. So you can switch up builds without going through the whole mission.

I enjoyed AC6 a lot, and grinded to get all the achievements pretty much immediately. It is my personal GOTY. But after that I went back to the old ACs, which IMO do the mech fantasy part of AC much better than AC6. AC6 feels too much like a combo focused fighting game or something. I really disliked the emphasis on the stagger mechanic. Stagger has always been in AC, but it has been way smaller of a mechanic, and happened mostly just after getting hit by high damage weapons. The mechs also don't feel to have any weight, as they spin around instantly. Even in AC4A, where you could go absolutely insane with speed, much faster than in AC6, the mechs still felt a lot heavier and more "mech-like".
