  • Today we're getting the shop's take on a beautiful 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard "Burst" - a beautiful subtly flamed top with perfect color, wonderfully playable, and an instrument that truly sings - we're quite taken by this guitar. One of the five legendary guitars that we brought back from Chicago recently!

    I think the playing with a bit of overdrive really showcases exactly what a PAF Les Paul is all about and why it is special.
    A couple of mine have PAF clones, scatter-wound, low output pickups and they are my favorite guitars. They aren't 59s but they do a great job of replicating that tone.

      I agree with you - Gibson has stepped their game up big time. I’ve recorded with an authentic ‘59 on two albums and recently bought a 2019 ‘59 reissue. Gibson really nailed the reissue. They’re so close in tone and appearance. The standards they’re producing are incredible as well - vintage look and feel with some modern character!

    Quick question; the new Les Paul Standard 50's tries to Replicate this 1959 era. They give 2 different options for pickups; the burstbuckers and the 57 pickups. Most people say the 57s are too tinny and belong in the semi hallows-335s.
    In your option, which one of those 2 would get in the ballpark as this guitar and which ones come stock in this beautiful guitar you guys are showcasing in this video?

    Why can't Gibson atleast manufacturer custom buckers for sale by them selves or put a version like them in standards? That way we get closer to that sound. Which is what we all are going for with a 59 style les paul. I have a standard 50s with burstbuckers. They sound no where near like that no matter what you do. Its lame if you ask me. But I hear some custom buckers sounding like that. Funny fender can make even a 900$ guitar that has a chance of sounding close to a real 50s model. And Gibson can't even do it for 2499$. And if you get a hand select top like I did. Its about 3200$ after taxes and shipping. Yay me. Now I gotta buy 500$ pickups on top of that to get it to do what I want. Thanks Gibson! I think I'll stick to my vintage acoustics and only buy vintage Gibson still. Every time I give them a chance on modern gear. They let me down.

The guy with the leather apron and the tools behind him is the cherry on the cake! on an acoustic or classical guitar i might be convinced by high price, the instrument stand on its own and the craftsmanship is unique, the carving of the wood, the gluing, the type of wood etc… but an electric guitar, where is the sound coming from, the guitar, the fender amp or a combination of both?

      It is a common mistake (if I may say so) to ask the "why" question. You neither pay for the wood nor the craftmanship. You pay for what the world of collectors have turned these guitars into. Look at (specific) vintage cars, look at (specific) Rolex watches - same pattern. A $100k Rolex watch does nothing but tell you the time.... and that less precise than a $50 Quartz watch.

I also have an SG 61 Standard, the neck pick up is perfect. I recently got a new LP Classic with the coil splits etc. That guitar has a nice bright neck pick up tone more like the SG. The Classic is definately my favourite current production Les Paul.

      😂 Hi​@@thatsmrharley2u2.
      You are wrong. Joe has 15 Les Paul burst. He says he owns 550 vintage guitars though.

    59's are great, but not worth the money. You can get a similar sound a lot cheaper with today's Les Pauls and replacement pickups.

    You know Gibson can completely replicate these guitars almost perfectly. I just bought a 50's standard that looks nearly identical to this one and sounds as good if not better and it cost me 2500.only a complete idiot would pay half a million dollars for this.remember Gibson stopped making these because they couldn't sell them.if you really need to waste money just get one from the custom shop for 10000 grand they'll even beat it up and make it look old.
