I had a bead on a 60’s Les Paul Standard this morning. I watched this review. I drove 2 hours. I now have this guitar. Thank you for this review! You made my decision easy.
I think something is wrong with it. I can’t make it do what you do....
@@isaiahmarquez9717
Practice mate!
Update: I sold the 60’s 😢
And….
I bought the 50’s! 😃
Something Bout that creamy tone!
I’m now in the market for a ‘59 reissue.
Great playing dude! Very much enjoyable.
GAK got lucky having you host their channel bro. Super talented and makes any guitar sound amazing. Both these guitars rock my face off. I want the 50's
I came here for the guitar, but dude you are incredible! Wow... That's the good stuff bro.
Very clear and informative overview of the specs of each guitar, with tasty playing. Agree on the Tobacco Burst looking fantastic on a Les Paul. I hope some left-handed models make it to the UK (there are one or two lefties available in USA shops).
Awesome review and sweet playing Joss
Love the 50's one. I just bought one! Tobacco burst
Man I love these guitars. Over the past year I bought a AAA cherryburst 50’s, a gold top p90 50’s, and a AAA bourbon burst 60’s. All great axes. And that’s some kick ass playing your laying down.
I bought them both. But I seem to find myself playing the 60’s one more! I love it!
Why?
Really, really awesome soulful guitar player. Very nice feel.
Both amazing guitars ,great demo,my choice was the 60's because of the slim taper neck profile and the hotter pickups and that bourbon burst shade.......wow ❤
Hi gak...brought one from yourselves and it arrived today 😀..les paul standard 50s p90s goldtop to go with my Gibson les Paul standard 50s in heritage cherry burst..absolutely stoaked with the sound's arrived in immaculate condition and set up top draw out the box..p90s sound Stella through a fender tweed
Do love the look of the 60s one.
That 50s tobacco burst is the One! Take my money!
Yup. Got my 50s in Tobacco Burst 6 months ago. Fantastic guitar
Great review and great playing!
beautiful room!
I just purchased a 50’s tobacco burst from The Gibson Garage last Friday!! I love this guitar so much. Listening to you play makes me love it more!!! Lol.
Have you ever played an R8? Curious how the necks feel compared to an R8.
@@cardbored_ no I haven’t.
I was heading in to my local guitar shop to pick up the 50's in Tobacco when lo and behold on the counter was a 50's in Cherry SB that a guy returned 15mins prior-decided he preferred a gold top- they discounted it 1,000 so I bought it then and there. I think the 50's sounds sweeter and love the neck profile. The Alnico 5's of the 60's sounds a little generic to my ear, especially with high gain, the clean might be on par with the alnico 2's. Anyway, great review, glad Gibby's are back!!
Jesus, this dude just shredded my head off! 🤘🏼🎸
When you are looking for it see if you can find mine.
I bought the 50’s standard in cherry burst and it will be here in 2 days and I can’t wait, I feel like kid waiting for Christmas! 😜
I got the 50s Goldtop, stunning guitar
Dude, Awesome review + you're an awesome player man
You are truly a guitar legend my friend! Bravo! I’m heading over to London in three weeks. I will be staying in central London. I am interested in buying a Gibson Les Paul Standard. But, I want a cherry sunburst finish with grover rotomatic machine heads. So, I am torn between these two guitars right here. Any suggestions? Don’t want to tamper too much with a work of art
Well this is just meant to be. I’ve narrowed it down to a Tobacco Burst or a Bourbon Burst and I can’t decide which (playing them and feeling the neck will help with that) but here I am researching and come across this video...and you’re playing the two options I’ve narrowed it down to. Awesome.
Get em both. Life is short.
Appreciate the review! Throw me a Les Paul and I’m gonna crank that amp! Tired of all these clean tone reviews. Thanks for getting right to it and playing Samir tasty licks
I say GOTTDAMN I enjoy your playing! 🤙🏼
"Always reminds me of..umm... just some of my favourite guitar players that play Les Paul's"
Your playing is f*****g awesome!
Great playing!!! thanks for the great review and the amazing videos you post I had the chance to try one of these LP50’s with the MHS pickups... wow really amazing!
Anyone try it that way? Any thoughts..!?
Great video man!! You prefer 50’s model. You said better in your hands... You have big hands?
I bought a 50s standard cherry sunburst les Paul. Love it. I’ve owned five les Paul’s now and this is the best one I have to say.
Nintariz yes they sound more round.
@@dannysartain4198 I can not decide between the 50s an 60s.. One thing I know is that I want the one with the more brighter pickups. I hate the MUD of humbuckers, some call it warmth, I call it mud. Does the 50s have a nice bright top end?
jarry Dee Yes, the 50’s has the brightest top end out of the two. The pickups on the 60s are higher output, and thus hotter. They both sound great. However, while the bottom and top end of the 50s is more defined and less compressed than on the 60s, they are BOTH Burst bucker pickups. Those are by their very nature, what you describe as “Muddy”. I think you will still not be too happy with the sound on the 50s model. Maybe you are a Stratocaster or Telecaster player at heart? I’m the total opposite. I always thought I was a Strat man, because it’s what I learned on and all other guitars felt and sounded weird to me. I gravitated to their single coil, focused straight sound because of Hendrix, SRV, Clapton and Blackmore. Not to mention they are much cheaper than Les Pauls. Then one day I walked into a guitar shop and grabbed a cheap Gibson Les Paul tribute, and was FLOORED by the sounds I could get plugged straight to a cheap Fender modeling amp. It was like a Gary Moore or Slash type of long, singing sustain and grit to the tone. Mind you, that guitar was ugly, but still cheaper than a standard Strat. It was all Gibson for me after that. I bought a 60s Gibson Les Paul this year. I would love to be able to buy a 50s one to own the pair, but I could barely afford the first one to begin with. Either one is outstanding. If you like a clearer, more focused top end, the SG models for this year are VERY good and cheaper than the Les Paul. Otherwise you can buy either the 50’s or 60’s Les Paul, with the Knowledge that you will likely change the pickups for Seymour Duncan 59’s, or something else that really gets the clear, bright PAF sound on a Les Paul. I hope this helps.
Is it a one or two piece body? Do you think something like that affects the tone?
@@renato6586 Its a two piece cap but a solid back with no weight relief so it sounds ever so slightly warmer and fuller. The no weight relief makes it heavier and in my opinion feel better to hold and play.
Love this guys demos man he is one hell of a great player .. Some one sighn him to a record contract ....
Hey! What kind of camera do you use?
This guy can play ! What’s the main difference between these and the 2020 slash versions that came out?
I prefer the heritage cherry finish as long as it isn't a Tomato burst Mine has nice wide flame and is 8.4 lbs It's a good one Very happy with my 2019
i just brought les paul standard 60’s 2019 faded satin cherryburst plaintop this slightly different with the original 60’s interms of knob volume & tuner. can u do review for the faded 60’s
Excellente guitare !
what amplifier did you use for the review? thanks !
Thanks!What string gauge is set...9-46 ?
Which amp do you use?
Wish i could test 50s neck vs 60s.. living in Mordor so i don't have any gibson shop nearby.. My Epi LP standars has the slim taper 60s.. and my LTD iron cross got the Thin -U neck.
Drop top caps?
Capacitors with little folding roofs?
Any guitar with humbucker pickups would sound “metallic” through that hot of an amp, and those line of Gibson’s are nice, no true ABR-1 bridge tho..
The first run seems the flame on guitars was better...some now I see on websites the tops maple aren’t as prevalent in regard to chevron,stripes,flame AA tops ...I bought a 60’s unburst when they just came out...the top is pretty....the guitar is a good one heavy but like a les Paul should be...no gimmicky things..
that's some playing...
GAK . Josh you are a cool dude . I won't to save up and get me a Gibson Les Paul 59 standard in tobacco burst . Thanks TroyFrost / Troyster 😎 CoolRiffs😎 Cool🎸 🤘🤘 🤘
Like the plank display
This guy is sick on the guitar! 😀
To my ears, chords sound much better on the 60s but individual notes sound much brighter on the 50s therefore the 60s is the ultimate rhythm guitar and the 50s is the ultimate soloing machine
Feel the same way. Might get 50s and change neck pickup
Seems like you were playing the 60,s neck just fine
So he went ham on the 60s and soft on the 50s of😉, coming from a 50s owner. These guitars just shred.
The last minute of this descends into comedy 😁
🤣 It does get a bit ridiculous. Playing is insane! 🤙🏼
When he goes up the neck, hits the open E and blasts off on that single high note LMAO!!!
Way more spikey mids on 60s one. Sounds like tons of other guitars. I liked tone of 50s better, more old fashioned and unique.
I agree but to my ears that: the 60s les Paul growl. But the 50s is old and cool sounding. Love both of them. 50s a lot cleaner too.
Well said.. I feel the same
Which amplifier was it exactly? Thank you!
Are those guitars really don't have weight relief holes as traditional series were built few years ago?
Niknarg yes. Picked one up at a guitar store and it’s heavy af
Got the 50’s Tobacco Burst. Fricking great. Not as good as my PRS 594 but damn good for the price. Just wondering if the 60’s neck would have been better... the combination of 12” radius and fat neck are a bit of a mismatch for me... if fretboard were 10” it might flow a bit better when playing w/such a fat neck. The combination of fat neck & flatter radius feels like you have to reach w/fingers to really fret the notes ... and the action is lower so your fingertips have to dig a bit more to ensure you catch the strings on bends. my hands are not small. Love the fat neck but have a 60’s neck on a studio LP and it’s more effortless to play. The burstbuckers on 50’s standard are very good but not as great as my PRS 58/15 LT’s. The PRS patten vintage neck is fat but not as rounded c so not as cumbersome. Tension on the 50’s standard is a bit too slinky w/10’s but PRS tension/feel is spot on. PRs is obviously much more money so the 50’s standard is one hell of a guitar for the price... i can see the 50’s standard becoming my #1 after I give it more time & practice.
I have the 60's in Bourbon Burst. I love it. I usually play Explorers so the 60's slim taper neck is what I'm used to. And the 2nd guitar I ever owned was a Bourbon Burst Epiphone Les Paul. So when I saw that, I knew that was the right one for me.
i love you man
🎉
Damn I love the tobacco burst ... I'm so upset they don't do them left hand in either 60s or 50s...
I’m a lefty too. Check out southpawguitars.com. I’m not certain, but looks like they have several 60s in what appears to be a tobacco burst. Good luck, I hope you find what you are looking for
@@dondeese7167 man, ive been hearing about that lefty stuff lately. Gibson should make a few lefties of each model. i bet the price for those would go thru the roof 15yrs. from now for one from nowadays. lol
They do all models in left hand
@@ianevans67 Unfortunately, tobacco and unburst finish are still unavailable. Same with a les paul std 50s p90s , 70s deluxe or any les paul special tribute... no such thing in lefty world.
Sarebbe possibile sapere il prezzo di una Ghipson?
Dang...
Beautiful guitars , personally prefer the sound of the 50s .
could you get me one of those chairs
The 59 sounds much richer and fuller. The 60 is definitely more aggressive and in your face. I find like all higher output PU's they smear the tone. A single note sounds rock solid where as a medium gain PU the individual overtones ring separately not fuse together as one tone.
can be yes...i just played both of these and the 60s werent muddy at all...depends on a bunch of things
Mine is not muddy at all. If anything, it's a little under powered IMO compared to my beloved 496R/500T's in my 2006 Explorer. The good thing with those, if you don't want all the power, just roll back the volume and they clean up beautifully!
I have a 60’s must have a 50’s to round it out lol
Did you buy both?
And along came
Harley Benton
Show
i talked with my personall buddy Keith and he says " oih asshole your noddeling with any instrument is in no case worth to think about Art or to buy an Instrument for your unart - so i followed his advice and surrvived - bought a little Ball to play with it .Withought doubts Gibson is a cool Company with very good Instruments for all the famous Guitarartists ts so they can make a Party (stay a home, mask on) and celebrate their artificall Work ,Battle of Guitars,Art or and whatever . don`t worry be Happy
Your such a Bad Ass joss...
No long neck tenon like the 50s had
What finish is the 60s in here?
Tea burst I think
Iced tea
it's a bourbon burst not iced tea burst...
😳⚡🚀🤘I bought a 60's. Just say'n...
Lez Paul
Tabs? 😂
1:09 vs 7:25
Orange "drop-top" capacitors ?? WTF 😳
He wanted it to feed back so baaaad 😣
Am I the only one who hears a fuller voice on the 60’s ??? Or are y’all listening on cheap ass headphones lmfao 🤣
l was gonna get one of these but not now after watching this show off
I guess the Classics just don’t exist lol.
Got one of the new classics . It rocks. Its part of the modern series though
Great review. Great guitars but SO uncomfortable to play. Why can’t they give it a belly cut?! WHY?!?
A F that should be on the modern. Don’t think that one has one either
Feel the same you find yourself struggling to stay and not fall down and the access to the upper frets is a little awkward... But I want one...
You must hate playing acoustic guitar then
Marina Papella nope.
I have an ovation

GTFOH! Who is this guy? hes Great.
It’s hq not hatche q
Only if you speak bastardized English and not the proper and original Queen's tongue. Now piss off!
Nah, this guy don't listen to John Sykes. LOL
You could make a shit guitar sound good. Idk i think the 50s sounds better. At least i thought it did. Now youve confused me as u made them both sound great
jeez..This guy playing the same phrases everytime and no matter what guitar he keep in hands.
In case no one ever told you: you dont have to watch him playing.
@@cindercoat3130 very "clever" logic..so don't I have a right to post an opinion and make a comment?
@@AlexSmolniy ofc you can do that, just as I express my opinion by telling you that your naggy comment is pointless, not constructive and says more about you than it says about the playing of that guy.
I guess it's a thing of our time but just because you CAN you are not forced to display your negativity ;)
@@cindercoat3130 my comment can't be pointless because it describes the fact. And there's nothing about negativity here. Just a clear fact.
@@AlexSmolniy fact? Im interested how you want to proof that. and connected with your cool "jeez" there IS a lot of negativity in there. you seem to be upset about his playing and you wanted to show everybody. stand for it. im out
They sound the same 😆
Man, maybe, it's me, but for heavy, bar Chords, and e Chords, rhythm, the 50s, seems to grab yea by the poop, and thump your chest
I mean if you gonna get the 60s might as well get yourself a second hand esp eclipse cause you clearly have no idea what a proper les paul sounds like . even in the 50s one the pickups need immediate replacing . killer playing and review tho
So the pickups in these are not good?
You know? I think ide like the heavier wider neck better. i got the 60s. I am really proud of myself though, after all these yrs. 55
Every one is too scared to say to the NEW Gibson crew
they did not make 59 & 60 GUITARS THEY JUST BUILT GUITAR YEAR AFTER YEAR
some changes took place no GROVER DELUXE where ever stock to my knowledge on standard guitars!!
JUST MAKE A LES PAUL STANDARD WITH LONG NECK TENONS PERIOD!!!THIS IS FAKERY AT ITS BEST
They have always been hand wired even with quick clips they are wired by a HUMAN
This dude puts in on my 10 year old plays better
@Nintariziz thank you
Sorry but all that neck crap is cork sniffing any good guitar player worth his salt would pick up either and enjoy playing them.
There's never any innovation with Les Pauls! It's always the same old 💩! Yet CZcamsrs make vids like they discovered sumthin new?!?!? We get it Les Paul is the champagne of guitars but some of us don't drink it!
It's cool we get it you prefer the generic Kool-Aid
They did try something new in 2015(I think) with robot tuners, wider necks etc. and everybody hated 'em . That's why they went back to the tried and tested formula.
@Nintariz i hear ya. They are undeniable in their looks and sound. Some of the best records ever on are les pauls. But over time i swayed towards the tele, because its the best all rounder. But i would be a liar if i didnt want one
Then why watch a vid or post about something you 💩 on? I don’t go over the Gretsch and shit on their guitars because I have no interest in them. See? Simple solution.
Yeah I have to wonder why you came here in the first place???
