    This beauty looks a lot, also spec wise, like my Traditional 1960 honeyburst of 2011. It’s a limited series in a faded finish. No weight relief, nice weight; 4,1kg. 60’s neck. This new faded series is one of my favourites now. They don’t come along often in Europe.

    I love mine although I took the truss rod cover off that had standard on it and found a blank cover that looks just like one they used in the 50's that was blank with the real bell shape with the heavy white trim on it. Took me a while to find one that look like the one they used back then not like the spare blank one they give you with the guitar where you can hardly see the white boarder on the cover and they never hab standard on the covers back in the 50's they were blank

    I just bought the 50’s faded. Ihad been looking for a standard Standard for while but I really didn’t connect with any. I really didn’t know about this faded series until I saw mine in a store. It was a B-stock with tiny ding in the body so it was discounted. I tried it and bought it immediately. The Sarin finished neck fits to my hand like a glove, it’s very well balanced and for a Les Paul very light weight. I like it’s sort of understated look, I won’t look out of it’s place anywhere, it can be played on a punk rock gig or a Blues gig with a suit on.

    For the ABR 1 bridge. If they really do follow the original vintage specs, it will pull sales away from the Gibson Custom Shop Historic collection which is why I think Gibson USA chose this modern approach. Though I didn't get to touch a true ABR 1 bridge setup to feel it but this setup still plays well.
    Always loved the faded models and I do own one myself. A special run for Ishibashi Music Japan in the early 2019 (Pre JC), the only diff? Its just a plain maple cap for mine, still pretty to me though.
    You can really feel the wood throughout the guitar in comparison to the gloss-up bling buffed les paul. Thankful Gibson USA now did this as a release.
    Though I hope that more colour options in the near future if its well received. Alot is disliking it due to the high price...but once you get hands on a faded. It's hard to go back to the glossy boys.

    • @kiljoy3254
      @kiljoy3254 Před rokem

      “ gloss-up bling buffed les paul” indeed, makes a huge difference... that VOS evokes that antique Stradivarius beauty that only really suits a Les Paul; it’s a massive edge for Gibson. The 61 Custom shop SG also has a beautiful VOS finish, mind

    Just got one of these, took it to a luthier that I know and had it polished a little bit, as one of the flaws I found is the more you play on these you get an uneven shine on the guitar that looks unnatural, so I evened it out and i couldn’t be happier with the result!

    Yes, this is definitely the right guitar. I chose this one among all the models and now I am holding a 2023 model in my hands. I think this guitar has not been fully discovered yet. I think it is the most beautiful guitar of the standard 50s. As you said, this guitar resembles Gary Moor's guitar and It looks like Slash's Jessica guitar. But I didn't like Jessica's glossy varnish. My previous guitar was a 2019 Studio Tangerine Burst. It is also a beautiful guitar and I still love its tones. But the fact that the back of the neck of the 50 has a satin-like matte and slippery varnish makes it incredibly easy to play. And yes, it is definitely a price-performance monster guitar. I'm glad I bought it.

    bought a new 2022 faded 60's neck about 1 year ago. I agree it is a nicely made, very good looking guitar. It came set up perfect from the factroy, no cosmetic issues. Gibson nailed it. Now that I have been playing it for a year, I have two things to whine about, but these are purely personal preferences. First, the heritage cherry sunburst finish, really isn't. It has more orange in the red than normal and has a "peach" coloring. I wish they had not messed with the normal heritage cherry sunburst. Second is I absolutley hate the "61" pickups it comes with. I find them tinny and shrill. I replaced them with a set of Bare Knuckles "the mule" pickups and now this guitar absolutely roars. Definetly a long term keeper!
    One more thing buyers should be aware of. These "faded" LPs get marked up very very easily. The slightest bump leaves a mark in the finish because you don't have the protective clear coat.

    I happened to touch the Greeny/Moore LP at a guitar convention. Hoping it would give me more mojo. I really hope u can figure out a way to keep this. It’s a beauty. Maybe a few trades? Just a suggestion. Only issue is the chunky neck. You know what I like lately? When neck pup is nickel covered and bridge pup is not. I think it looks cool. Still looks cool though uncovered.

    After researching, a “True ABR-1” is not a “World of difference” when you hear post to wood conversation comparison. The Nashville ABR-1 was done for stability & Gibson probably knows best since they built the damn thing. I’m new to Gibson & just got my first 2022 Standard Gibson (holy shit-wow), I’ve been missing out. Standards sound freakin awesome to begin with, but i have to kinda laugh when we start splitting hairs on the true ABR-1 topic. The average audience member doesn’t give a damn, & can’t tell the difference anyway. Great jams. Peace🤘🏼

    Help Steve! I tried this model out at GC and wondered if it was wired 50s style. I know you mentioned that it is. With all due respect to you, are you certain? Perhaps it just has lower value capacitors and audio taper pots? On Gibson's info page they don't mention the wiring style except to say hand wired, audio taper pots and orange drop caps. When I tried it out the volumes and tones seem to behave as if they were 50s style. I didn't want to take the back plate off and of course their tech said the 50s and 60s only refer to the neck shape. I was wondering if you took the opportunity to remove the back plate and inspect the wiring?

    Im thinking to buy this or 60s but Im a bit concerned of this faded satin like finish. Does it break/ get scratches easier than gloss finish and does the paint disappear easily? I know its cheaper since gloss finish takes time to produce.
    "its gonna fall off" .. the paint is gonna fall off?? That sounds scary o.O
    This guitar looks really good but is it too fragile I dont know?

    • @SteveSterlacci
      @SteveSterlacci  Před 10 měsíci

      Fragile? No. But it will buff if you play it a lot and potentially relic faster than a gloss finish. I personally like the character that would come. I'd skip it if you want it to always look shiny and new

      @teemuylikulju6935 Před 10 měsíci

      Thanks Steve. Im not sure what you mean by "buff", cant find a decent word for it in my language. Do you mean get shiny or something?
      Anyway I did it. I ordered this exact guitar today. I should get in two weeks, my first Gibson ever. This looks really good and maybe even better when older, and they say it these faded ones sounds better than gloss finished ones, no idea if that is true thou. @@SteveSterlacci

    Unfortunately with the newer nitro finishes they have so many plasticizers that it will still look great 30 years from now. Some colors can fade (nothing like the old nitro finishes did), and obviously chip and dent if hit hard enough. But even most colors won't finish check all that much. I know regulations have changed and they can't use the same old processes, but sometimes I wonder if they make their new finishes so that you basically have to buy a Murphy Lab to get a classic, authentic "relic" look.

    I haven't followed you long enough to know if you are joking. Perhaps this is your Chinese copy with just a few more upgrades..and in need of a few more? I didnt like some of the shrill highs (e.g. 5:29) out of that at all...ugghh horrible. But maybe it was just your amp settings/ preferences and of course, its a free world, each to their own. You could make a nice Gary Moore tribute out of that guitar LOL! He is also one of my favourite players, especially during the Lizzy and Victims of the Future work. Once you rewind that neck PAF with 42 Heavy Formvar and maybe flip the magnet, give me a yell ;) Hahah,, Right now l dont think it sounds fantastic, whether its a cheap copy or not. I made a cheap guitar out of an ammo box that actually sounds less harsh.. in parts. Nice if you could PLEASE do an audio comparison with the China copy!! (Once you put some Seymour or Dimarzios in it). But perhaps that would test the patience of the good folk at Gibson too much. Its truly excellent that they sent you this guitar for review, given you have recently been upgrading a 'competing' unlicensed Chinese copy. That in itself shows confidence in their brand.

    • @SteveSterlacci
      @SteveSterlacci  Před rokem +1

      Hey man! This is indeed a real one lol its stock from the factory. If I were to keep it, i think the burst buckers would be first to go. The tone you're alluding to I was going for a tele on steroids sound using my Z Wreck (mainly a tele amp) so I could see where its not for everyone. As for my copy, its already got gibson custombuckers in it with the magnet flipped and new wiring going in next. Part 3 will be epic! Its cool they loaned me this, but its not like im being paid or get to keep it. I'm cool speaking freely. Thanks for checking it out!
