That 60's sounds warmer than a grandma's hug by the fire place in the dead of winter
Whilst the 50s is sharp enough to shave the whiskers off a cowboy at 100 yards
Exactly the opposite
I thought the 50s sounded rounder than grandma's cheeks next to a dirty dumpster behind an Applebees in the heat of summer! ..it's great they make two!! Hey, any of you guys on myspace?
@@DoJo-HyGe 😂
I think you confused the 60s with the 50s. The 50s has a more warmer sound and the 60s has that sharper and thinner more bitey sound.
I think what sounded best was the no talking....seriously, that was a bg help! I like the 60's both in looks and the playing,
I love the simplicity of the 50s..
The tobacco sunburst 50s is beautiful IMHO
@@bewusstsein3527 tobacco sunburst on a Les Paul is definitely my favorite finish ever
@@Ledzepfan88 no, you're not allowed to have a tobacco finish on a guitar now!
I'm going to report you and Gibson to the authorities., now.
Has to be the best comparison 50s and 60s Les Paul video on CZcams, thank you.🤘
My 60s bourbon burst just shipped from Sweetwater. Can't wait to get it.
I love my bourbon burst. YOu will love it
Why not iced tea?
Does your sampe flamed well?
I ended up sending it back. There were problems with the nut. I got a November burst slash model instead. It's amazing
@@MotleyMethods why not just get a new nut?
My 60s ice tea just shipped from AMS cannot wait too get it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like both 2020 Gibson's and 2020 50s & 60 Epiphones as well. I have played all and own a 50s Gibson and 60s Epiphone, amazing guitars this year with the new management at Gibson/Epiphone
The 60s had a slightly louder, more strident tone but the 50s also sounded good and would probably feel best for me due to it's chunkier neck profile.
I’ll have to say I have a 60’s unburst and a 50’s cherry sunburst with locking tuners. My 2002 standard is what I measure all guitars against the 50’s has pleased me so much it has moved up the rotation I can’t put it down. But they are all stellar and so different sounding I love it
What a sweet sounds coming out of that 50s. Great comparison
I just want to say that there is some well executed playing in this video. I've been listening to it over and over.
Thanks for a useful well made video.
My 2cents worth ... I prefer the 60s model for clean sounds. It has sparkly upper-mids, and more responsive dynamics. I was surprised when I heard the overdrive comparison, the 50s guitar was sweeter on the ear. Still, I imagine that some treble cut and a touch of compression on the 60s model would yield a very similar sound.
You can easily filter treble out, but you can’t put it in if it’s not there.
In real life, you don't normally set the amp the same for different guitars...you optimize ALL the equipment. If you optimize for the 60s, the 50s won't sound the same If this was everything at noon, that was better for the 50s...but again, you wouldn't take the 60s and think...well, the 50s sounded great with this setting, so I have to leave it there for the 60s..
@@RickMcCargar good point however the point is TO hear the difference and remove the variables. Unless you're a computer or a sound tech with dead nuts hearing you wouldn't be able to exactly "optimize" personally I think a better comparison would be to play each guitar with the 50s pups back to back (pup swap) then the 60s and see how the pickups respond. I'm curious how the 60s pups would respond to 50s wiring and vice versa.
Personally what I would love to see is someone try to get as close to the CS as possible, put a pair of cs pups in there and upgrade pots etc if necessary, to see if you can get in the ballpark with either model. Wood being wood the only variable being the glue at this point and perhaps nicer finish and period correct aesthetics like binding , long neck tenon, and lighter wood.
Well.... during the cleans I thought definitely the 60s! More beefy/warmer tones! Definitely buying that one! but THEN... the distortion solos I’m like oh crap! Definitely the 50s! I’m going watch it again I’m so confused 😫..... awesome video dude!
I have the 50s in tobacco burst. Sounds great and just feels right.
Dazed and confused ❤
What did you go with?
60's for me. I like the added punch in the clean midrange sounds.
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE WITH THE BALLS TO PLAY THE FORBIDDEN SONG, WELL DONE, SOMETHING WE CAN ALL RELATE TO TONE, TO REALLY GET AN IDEA AND COMPARE , SO MANY DO COMPARISONS OF GUITARS AND PLAY TWO DIFFERENT SONGS ON THE GUITARS OR SOME STUFF OF THEIR OWN AND YOU CAN'T REALLY GET A CLEAR PICTURE SONICALLY
Bein in Korea however helps-- not the easiest place to be sued.
I love the 60’s GLP, but the 50’s just sounds so much better, you can’t really compete with it.
Awesome playing!!!
Great video!!!
I loved the bourbon burst on the 60's model but the 50's model sounded better to me.
The 60s for me personally, but maanaan i love me some 50s too!!
Can i have both? *Crying in poor*
Both sound awesome, I liked the 50’s tone a bit more here, but I ended up getting the 60’s for that slim fast neck.
This was the answer I was looking for cause I'm about to buy a standard and I like the smaller necks....I love My USA Jackson Kelly, favorite playing guitar. Fast slim neck....Thanks for not me having to ask !
@@will4673 Of course! I always figured, pickups can be changed pretty easily, but once you buy a guitar you’re stuck with that neck profile. Enjoy the new standard 60’s. I love mine, I posted a video demoing it on my channel.
Wow! that Sweet Child o' Mine solo! So nicely played!
Great video!! Love it. Could you compare a 50’s p-90, to a 50’s and a 60’s one day? This is fantastic!! Excellent playing too
Great review. To my ears, the '50's LP sounds a bit clearer than the '60's LP... and somewhat sweeter too. Both sound awesome but I like the tone of the '50's LP better. Thing is, the current selection of colors the '50's come in I'm not crazy about. I wish the '50's LP came in an "Unburst" color like the '60's does!
Get the 60 and do the treble bleed and switch pickups
They do if you buy the Wildwood version. I just picked one up, and it looks amazing.
and i wish the 60s came in cherry burst !
Aaron Meier the WW guitars are sooo sweet. I love the unpotted pickups.
The 50s honeyburst is beautiful. My opinion of course. Others may hate it.
This is exactly the kind of comparison I was looking for. Thank you!
In all seriousness, you can't go wrong with either of these instruments, which is why I bought the '59 Special and the 60's Standard.
I've got the Custom Shop 59 reissue and a 60s Standard as well, both really nice guitars to play and look at. Love the neck on the 60s, weight of the 59 is better though.
Given the neck differences I'd say playability is the main deciding issue with these.
No.
The issue is what are you going to look like with these old fashioned items.
@@Gma7788 'Old fashioned'??
These are classically styled, authentic and qualified music tools that have supported the creation of decades of music and can continue to do so.
This video shows how nice an LP can sound clean. Every other video is full on ACDC crunch
I'm excited I just ordered a 60's. Bourbon burst which I'm guessing this one was?
Last weekend, I finally got a chance to play the 50s and 60s models back-to-back, unhurried, in a quiet room. To provide a familiar sonic frame of reference, I used my own Fender Mustang Micro amp and headphones. As this video coveys, the two guitars sound VERY similar. In fact, the differences I heard could have easily been replicated in a single guitar through minor changes in pickup height. The store also had a USED 2021 50s model, which clearly had been set up post-factory. It played much nicer than the other two, and oddly, had a neck thickness that was halfway between them. I seriously considered buying it, but the case was not included, and I really don't care for the traditional bright Cherry Sunburst finish. Garish and cheap-looking, to my taste. Moral of the story? If the neck feels good in your hand, buy the one you think is prettiest. You can adjust the sound to compensate for any differences in pickups.
Exactly how the price shifts is from the top I've had a 97 Historic R9 standard heritage cherry and a 2019 50's HCS and the only real difference was the 97 faded triple A top and the pick-ups 57's vs Burst Buckers
This is 100% the real life scenario. All the cork sniffing is just for the internet. You could easily and mistakenly switch one for the other live, or in the studio and no one would know the difference.
I pick the one that I like looking at, or touching the most. That's all there is to it.
Never used to like the iced tea burst but it really grew on me. Personally I prefer the lower output sound of the 50s model. But both guitars objectively sound amazing
I want an unbursted 60s.
Both sound great though.
50’s Sound solo sweet
60’s Sound good rythm
the Gibson 60's sounds warm, while the 50's sounds brighter and more defined. for having bought both I can confirm it
lol what are you rich or sum??
@@xreejan5545 if he was "rich" he would have bought the Gibson's. And since you can buy 4 Epi LP's for the price of one Gibson LP it's only logical to buy both.
@@ajwallace381 especially since the inspired by gibson lineup in amazing.
It varies from guitar to guitar. Just because your 50s standard sounds brighter and your 60s sounds warmer does not mean that all 50s standards are brighter and all 60s are warmer . I have a 50s standard that is very warm and dark and when I bought it I compared it to 60s standard at the guitar shop and the 60s was way brighter than the 50s and its bright to the point of being harsh and shrill but that is just one example. Sometimes the 50s will be warmer and sometimes the 60s will. But you cannot say that all 50s are brighter than all 60s based on one comparison its does not work like that .
@@adamwatson6916 you're wrong. the les paul 50s will necessarily sound more open with a sound rich in harmonics and warm velvety it has an aluminum stopbar with the aluminum bridge also and its pickups sound of burstbucker 1 and 2 while the 60s series have 61t 61r burstbuckers which are less well defined pickups it will tend to sound less articulate. the Gibson 50s has a bigger neck profile so more sustain too.
I chose the 50s in tobbacoo burst Much prefer the thicker neck carve and the alnico 2 magnets of the burst bucker 1 and 2 pick ups ..
Love mine altho I am considering putting 57's that I've had since 97 from a crazy expensive 97 R9 Historic Actually this new standard is as nice but doesn't have that crazy quilt that was one of the best I've seen
The best part of the comparison was this guy is using my guitar and my amp head 😂 bought a 60's iced tea and running it thru an MT15 with a Krank 1x12 cab. Sounds amazing!! Great cleans, days upon days of gain to bring in if you need it but you can dial it back if you're looking for the crunch tone, and the clean channel has that boost function to give you some spanky blues tones too.
Like everyone says the 60's has a "brighter" or "thinner" sound than the 50's. Hearing them alone I'd say the 50's sounds better to me but in a band mix the 60's would probably sounds better as it would cut through the mix more. Both awesome guitars and great playing.
50s les Paul all day long.
Waiting for my 60s unburst. CANT WAITTTT!!!! MY 1ST GIBSON
how do you feel after 1 month? do u like it?
btw unburst the most beautiful u can buy nice choice
It sounds incredible. Neck is nice the flame is nice. Can really see and feel the difference between epiphone and gibson. The tone just WOW!
I went with the 50s. The 60s neck felt really thin and cheap and I didnt like that. If your going to get a les Paul. Get a chunky neck. 👍
Damn, i totally disagree.. Sorry
@@musicoxygen its chunky but not as chunky as I originally thought it was. I have smaller hands but I got used to It in no time.
Thank you. This was what I need.
Well done. Just what I needed to see before I buy. Thank you.
can’t wait , my 50s tobacco burst coming Monday :)
It’s monday, any feedback ? ^^
I have played both recently and the 50s was definitely brighter.
What about neck profile.. 50 more bigger than 60 .. is that true?
@@gitarbangsatchanel8036 yeh this is true
All these years of practicing and I finally made it mom and dad,it my chance to shine lol
Love the attack of a slim neck 60s LP. Not the best on their own, but they really cut through the mix in a band👍
2:50
3:59
아르페지오에서 50s 가 튜닝이 좀 틀어지게 들려서 아쉽네요. 50s가 많이 듣던 레스폴 소리에 더 가까운 것 같고 60s는 저음이 살짝 더 많고 출력이 세서 미들이 좀더 들어가게 들리는군요
Excellent review! Pickups and neck size are the only difference here. 50's LP sounds more butter-y, the 60's sounds more brighter - both tones are amazing but neither sounds better than the other. Rather, each is its own tool for specific tone in songs. Dagnabbit... I'm gonna have to get both of these.
Which neck is more comfortable 50s or 60s?
“No stairway, denied”
60's all the way for me!!!
Geeeeezzzz deciding between these two is like deciding between breathing or eating!! Impossible!!!! Utterly fantastic guitars.
I couldn't decide either so I got both.
But now I can't afford to take my Girlfreind to France :(
Still Totally worth it :)
They truly are incredible guitars. I just got the 60s LP in Iced Tea Burst a few weeks ago. It's now my number one guitar.. I just love it.
@@noughtpoint1gaming247 girlfriend might leave you, but les paul won’t lol 😂
Yep, both great. I went for the 60s
Like the tone of the 60 better, but bought the 50 for the neck
The neck is the most important thing. Sound can be changed. New pickups, pedals, amps etc..
They both sound like a Les Paul. I have a standard 60's and love it. Mainly due to the neck profile, but also because it weighs 9 pounds (which certainly could be the case for either), and lastly, I like the reflector knobs and Grover tuners. But their definitely is a sound difference. The 50's has a more vintage tone, and the 60's brighter with more bite.
more bite? like a dog bite? 🤣👍
It's easy to get rid of bite when you don't need it but if it's not there when you do, trouble.👍
@claudio cruzat 'bite' is a common guitar tone term.
Yeah i dont know how you can say either one of these is better than the other, aside from just your preference. I bought the 50s in cherryburst but i think i would have been just as happy with the 60s. In my collection i have 12 fenders of various kinds, from the 75th anniversary commemorative telecaster and ultra strat to a squire starcaster and player series duo sonic. This is my very first Gibson because i thought i needed something different in my music room. It won't be my last Gibson though. Very very impressed
Hey ! No Stairway !
denied
😆
hhahahahahahhaha sounded good though
My ‘50s thanks Kluson for supplying Revolution tuning machines to replace the sub par GD tuners it came with.
Mhmm I think I liked the 60's more out of those two, but I'd go 50's p90 if I was getting any of them.
60's resonance is unbelievably good.
I know right? That bridge pickup on the 60s absolutely kills the 50s. You can tell on clean
After 20 years with my epi lp custom, i bought a standard 60´s. It was a hard decision, but the 60´s neck is f... awesome!
You know what I used to love lps for there dirty tone and that’s it ,, but you realise a low output pafs in them sound superb , Alnico 2 s really make it a different instrument brighter sweeter mellow the sustains are better ,,
People have been messing up the characteristics of these vintage instruments with over powered buckers for so long we forgot that it’s not how they were made to sound
What a dreamy clean tone
I always thought I would prefer the 60's model, but now I'm Jones'n for the 50's model & the skill to play like you! Dang CZcams to Hell for recommending your channel! 🤣🤣
I really like the 60s. What finish is that?
Bourbon burst. They vary in color based on lighting. They’re usually darker than in the pictures you see on websites. I own one 😎
The 60s Les Paul sounds incredible
Great demonstration.
I really liked the 50’s🙂
60’s look is so gorgeous , and that tone !
Does anyone know the second clean song he plays is? I like it and want to learn how to play it.
That’s the forbidden song. I’m telling my mom on you!
@ushbag : You think that is forbidden? Try playing smoke on the water in a guitarshop 😂
Very similar sounding if not the same on this video, I love my 50sG-LP
Went into guitar center to buy an acoustic and left with a standard 50s les Paul sunburst the sound and playability was the best I’ve ever played ! That fat 50s neck made playing so easy !!! And it was 600 dollars off due to it being guitarathon !
just curious, what retail store did you purchase from?
@@jarredbaca8112 It was guitar center ! 1999 was the price I paid . Apparently they discount certain models for guitarathon and that particular 1950s standard les Paul in the heritage cherry sunburst was the one they decided to discount .
wish some one would do a side by side quick same chords ,chugging, differnt dynamics, notes always just sound the same
60s it tighter 50s is more fuller
and bassier
00:56 Neck 50
01:53 Neck 60
60s all day, but the 50 is still sweet. I have both but like the 60s more :)
I love 50s
Wow not much flame on the 50s glad I got the goldtop
I’ve played a 20 yr old Sg (got new back in early/mid 2000’s, for a gift/1st brand name guitar, got very lucky. Has 60. Neck 490r/498t, the grain of wood and feel and sound is great! Love it). ;
But seeing ive always loved LP’s & 20 yrs wirh my orginal axe, saw gibson went back to old school for new (2023 standards), i went for the 60s model burst, it looks great, feels good but different around heel lol), Big question is due to having spent a pretty $ on this brand new 60’s LP standard burst…im familar with 61 (or sny burstbuckers), i assumed the 490/498t was a very close model to the classic rock PAF
I can't decide between the 50s/60's, I like the neck on the 50s and the cleans. But really dig the gain on the 60s.
Solution: '60 and the change pickups
I ended up with the 60's because of the tuners. I know, but that's the only way I can lie to myself and justify it. Tough choice.
'60's has more character. Both are excellent though
The 50s for the blues and the 60s for rock
60s sound warmer and nicer for me
didn't like the finish on the 50's, the lower half of it
Definitely 50s!
2:51
3:25
4:00
4:34
Both sound great. 60s has just a tad more horsepower. I prefer the 50s. I think. Hahaha.
Who is the guitarist?
I just got the 50s version. She was born on March 15th 2021. Quality is excellent. UPDATE: This guitar was sitting in a warehouse for over a year and they signed the paperwork March 15th. The guitar had so many issues I sent it back. I just purchased a D'angelico and I am shock of the quality. I actually bought a second limited edition which will be here tomorrow. These guys know how to make a guitar.
What was wrong with it? Just curious. Tuning issues, eh les Paul’s are known to do that. Had to be something major
Currently awaiting my bourbon 60’s to be delivered from musicians friend. Can’t wait to get it
Couldn’t most of this be compensated for by turning the tone down up or down a tiny bit or raising or lowering the pickups?
I just picked one of these up not too long ago and Im very happy with it! The only gripe I have is that the neck pickup almost sounds like it has a blanket over it. It's very "muddy" and lacks high end clarity. The bridge pickup is absolutely killer on the other hand. How do you have the neck pickup set?
You should experiment with them or find a brighter one for the neck Great after market winder's out there Check out WCR.... Doyle's Coils....Wizz Premium You can even talk to them and explain the issue Sure they would be familiar with that problem Cheers and good luck
50s! that's not the only video on which 50s with some gain sounds way fuller than 60s
Exactly👍
Vorrei sapere si può trovare una chitarra 🎸 Ghipson Espol Gos Review ( no Tallinn ) di seconda mano? Ovviamente ben tenuta ? Grazie 🙏🏻
I would prefer if you played one pickup on one guitar and then the same pickup on the other guitar.
has anyone put the 60's pickups in the 50's guitar? I'm considering it but would be interested to hear other people's thoughts!
you can just change the magnets to alnico v
50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤘😎🤘
I can't notice the difference, is it very noticeable or subtle? It's a great review but I think that if was same bridge 50 and bridge 60, neck 50 and neck 60 would be easier to compare, thank you
The 60's model has slightly hotter pickups. You can hear it the mid range. The 50's guitar is a little scooped in comparison. The 60's model has a bit of sizzle in the top end that is missing in the 50's model too. Pretty minimal difference honestly, but if is audible. Personally I like the lower output 50's pickups better, but the 60's would be better for heavier music. All personal taste really.
I agree. There may well be, and probably is, a significant difference in person, but in this video, they sound virtually identical.
They sound pretty close to me. I don’t think I can decide which is better sounding. I can guarantee the 60s is easier to play
50' more have tone n clarity
The 50’s pickups are smooth. I bought mine in February and these past few months have been amazing. I feel like a kid coming home from work and rushing straight to my les Paul. I think the 60’s pickups run hotter and have more power. But I’m a blues player so I don’t need that tone difference.
its like if you had either youd never miss the other one but as other have said in this setup
50s for LEAD
60s for Rhythm
damn it.. I want that 50s, the lead sounds nice, but the neck always sounds like mud to me. Does it sound muddy in the room?
Well, I ordered the 50s, and just sent it back. Could not get used to the fat neck, going to go with the 60s. And yes, that neck pup was muddy!
jarry Dee how is the neck on 60s?? .. most of the gibby neck pickups are muddy unless you go customshop.
