Bring back the Firebirds
Yes bring back the Firebirds..I have a Reverse and a Non Reverse and I love them both..but you can't buy a Firebird unless you spend $6000 plus on a custom..
100%
No....please don't. Just sell these cheaper. They shouldn't have high mark-up anymore.
Have a 2021 Standard 50's in Heritage Cherry and cant put it down. Absolutely love it even though Im only a living room/bedroom beginner. Late starter in my 50's
Never too late to start, my friend! We hope it serves you well!
Play every day!
Already have an R8, but this video convinced me that I really need a Junior.
Beautiful guitars! Great playing and video 🤘🤘
Thanks a lot!
Enjoying this channel very much.
Thanks Nigel, we're so glad!
Excellent review & playing 😊👌🏻
Love my P90 Les Paul Standard. Also picked up a standard 50's when they came out late 2019, it is one hell of a LP! The humbuckers sound great and build quality is spot on. Even came very well set up. Seriously the best LP I've purchased in the last twenty years. Moved away from Gibson Guitars for a spell because of some issues, am very happy with the HUGE turnaround post 2019. The quality is back for sure. Some of my favs are my early 80's and although not 'correct' by 50's standards (haha pun there) do like my two mid 70's LP's. Then again they were the first and second LP I ever purchased new, so there is most likely a bit of bias there. Congrats to Gibson for getting it together and kicking everything up a much needed notch! As far as what guitar would I like from the video? Would have to be the TV yellow P90 Special. Always wanted one yet end up with something else. One Day soon hopefully. Cheers!
Thanks for watching and being with us!
Ok, I have both a Les Paul Standard. And a little over a year ago I bought the new Les Paul Deluxe 70’s. (I owned a 1976 model back in the day). I find myself playing the Les Paul Deluxe more than any other guitar I own (7 other electrics). I love the sound of the mini Humbuckers. At my age, I’m playing as much clean as I am overdriven (maybe even more). Your description of the mini being halfway between a P90 and a full size humbucker is dead on. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Do I need another Les Paul? No.
Do I want another Les Paul? Of course!!
I have this conversation with myself, daily. Thanks for watching! -Lee
Me too, I have 8 of them, I need 9.
Nice review , thank you ! I had just finished watching the SG video so now I’m on my game . Well , at least having a better understanding of what is new for 2024 . So , after I refi the house , I’ll be back ! Take care .
Thanks for watching!
The special, 50’s P90’s and the 60’s killed it!!!!
Close, could not pick one over the other!
Great video!!!!
Thanks for watching!
As a new Custom Les Paul owner I would love to see an advice, tips and tricks video for us new guys! Thanks!
Funny you should say that. We have something coming soon!
Man im loving those colors, the oxblood and fuschia are gorgeouss
Stunning collection thanks for the candy!
I guess I'll go with the 60's bourbon burst because that's the one I have. I got it used at my local dealer so it already has some light Murphy lab aging.😊
I got a 2021 les paul standard 50s in cherry burst and I love it in fact I'm getting ready to plug in after play for hours last night my so I'm going to ROCK 😮
Oxblood or 60s cherry on the Epiphone Les Paul Standards would be FANTASTIC
gotta love the new colour. my wife she's been rocking those Pelham blue for years. Now i have a reason to buy 2 Les Paul. The Pelham blue to match with her LP and the Fuchsia for me.always fancy the natural finish at the back for LP.
👏 👏
Fat necks & p90’s are my favorites. Nicely done video.
Junior was my favorite.
How about some of those fancy colors on the junior?
You never know...
PLEASE do the same color options for the SG's!
Alpine White with gold hardware
'60s ❤❤❤❤❤
Great video!
🙏 🙏
I’ve owned the Junior and Special from the Original Collection as well as a 60’s Standard and found myself moving to the 50’s Standard in Tobacco… it hands down takes names later as in “kicks ass!” And then does so! But have to say, the growl of the dog ear P90 on the Junior and the simplicity… it’s just a perfect rock n roll guitar! Collectively though, I’ve owned nearly some 20 Gibsons over the years and have to tip my hat to the Original Collection… just can’t go wrong w/ any of them! Hands down the best Gibson’s I’ve played and owned outside of maybe Historic Reissues which… LOL… think Gibson should maybe toss me a bone and hook me up on a ‘58!!!😉❤️
Have the Special and the SG JR from the original series next two guitars will be the 50s les paul and the 61 sg standard. Love thr original serie so much!
Just bought an iced tea Standard '60s, can't wait for it's arrival next week..
Awesome, congrats!
Blueberry Burst is surprising in its popularity.
The Special snd the Tea bagger sounded best to my ear.🤣👍
For people trying the 60s and 50s neck, do yourself a favor and really spend some time with each neck. Sometimes a neck that feels off at first, needs some adjustment period based on your past experience. Then after you get used to it it can become the best neck profile for you. Conversely, sometimes a neck that feels great at first can cause your hand to cramp up after 1 or 2 hours of play. So really give each neck a proper chance.
Great insight!
Beautiful guitars. I hope the zipper tracks on that jacket are not doing any damage to those finishes.
Deluxe! Oh man, I love my Les Paul Tributes but Jonesing for a Deluxe next🤘🏼 Cardinal Red?! Inverness Green?! Oh man🤙🏼
The Special sounded the best, it will be my next purchase. I already have a Studio and Standard 60's :)
Good choice!
there is NOTHING like a Gibson!
Before he said about the twang on the thinner neck I was thinking that. Now ive heard all the specs it could be the alnico 5 pickups
Great video. The way you play the Les Paul looks like Slash. For some reason you have the same technique.
I have a 60s Standard in Lemon Burst and a Tribute which is an underated guitar in my opinion. I love those guitars but that Ocean and the deluxe in that wine red were awesome 👍. Thanks Gibson take my $ 😂
Rock on! We hope the guitars serve you well, my friend. -Lee
man, those new colors look great! My pocket book is gonna be hurting lol.
Thanks for watching !
Really want a lefty gold top p90. 😢 Please make them.
Megusta 70´s de Luxe, por su claridad cristalina. Tengo una60,s standard. Y laespecial tambien. Todasincreibles.
After many years of studio and stage experience using MANY Gibson Les Paul Guitars I have had to sell them all. They do not stay in tune for me. I have been to every luthier, specialist and Gibson pro's-TRUST ME. I finally settled for a Gibson Les Paul Junior just to have and it stays in tune pretty well.
I love Gibson, but those prices…. Come on…
love the P-90s in the special but my next guitar will be a LP Standard 60s
Good choices!
The Gold top!
When you guys made the traditional pro ll, man that guitar sounded fantastic. Wish i still had it.
At the end that TV Yellow p90 was super punchy out of all of them, atleast to my ears, mojo.
Rock on! Thanks for watching!
When will be Mesa Boogie to buy again in Europe/Germany. I like the Badlander ans want buy it
I want the 60s Standard, however, i cannot decide between classic white or ebony!
I have an early 70's Les Paul Deluxe. I also have a 1947 Gibson L4 acoustic guitar. I was wondering what it's value would be?
Hey Robert, you've got some great guitars!
I’d be happy to help you in getting closer to determining the value of your guitar. Blue Book Publications provides excellent online services on both new and vintage Gibson guitars (acoustic and electric), amplifiers, and mandolins. Click this link, and you’ll be directed to the Blue Book site: www.bluebookofguitarvalues.com
We hope this helps, please let us know if you need anything else.
I want that pink one
I'm glad I got my 2 les pauls (tribute and studio dark) before the prices went completely insane.
looks great
Thanks for watching!
Nice video and LP selection for 2024...but no longer an LP Studio????
I love & enjoy the sound of that 60s Les Paul model in that Iced Tea finish but also love it in that Blueberry Burst.
That Blueberry Burst is getting a lot of love!
@@gibsonwill you guys plan to make both the 50s & 60s Blueberry burst in left handed? I’m a left handed guitar player and I would want to have the 60s blueberry burst in left handed later on.
Hi! If you ask your local dealer, i'm sure they could accomodate that request with Gibson!
Deluxe! Want!
Every model is a 10. As far as the tone comparison at the end I like the Special. ☝
Which one is right for me? More than one! I have 2 and they won't be my last. It doesn't get any better than a Gibson Les Paul.
Did you forget to mention the prs shaped one where the headstock doesn't mystically fall off? 😂😂😂
This guys said the 60s slim neck was causing a difference in twang from the front pickup. Yet doesn't realize that the gold top with the thicker neck is using completely different pickups!
Why did you skip over the Alnico 5 pickups?
I've owned Gibson USA Les Paul guitars. Then I found how amazing the Gibson Custom Shop is. Now, I only own and buy Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul guitars.
What about the LP Supreme?
from my listening that gold top 50's has the perfect tone not to bright also warm.
11:19 Theres a tonal difference between neck widths now? 😮
Would like to have Les Paul offerings: the Recording, Professional, and Signature models re-issued. No more Slash, Hammett, artists ad nauseum versions, please Gibson. Also, equip all the guitars with Steinberger tuners - it's a brand in the Gibson stable.
Crying a bit about the fact that plain tops weren’t available last year when I bought my bourbon burst 60s. Great addition to the line. Definitely would’ve bought one.
The Bourbon Burst is still a lovely colour! I have the 50s Tobacco and I love it - Lee
Oh for sure - it looks killer.
The les Paul juniors and specials sound the best
All the guitars sound almost the same to me!
Wish I could afford one of them 🥺
Gibson just stuck a fork in all the other guitar brands with the custom colors. I’ve been waiting for these for YEARS. Thank you, Gibson.
Glad you like them!
You can literally get the same for about the same price hand made for you.
I have owned many guitars over the years, and sold many, but will never sell my Pauls!❤
I have a 2022 60's Bourbonburst that I wish I had returned. I can't get a good even sustain out of it. It wants to feedback on the D and B strings which produce that high frequency feedback that is ear piercing. I swapped the pickups out for some Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups that I already know are fantastic and it didn't help. I owned a 1999? 1960 Les Paul Classic and a 1976 Les Paul Deluxe with a full sized humbucker in the bridge and both sounded great. My 60's standard is a disappointment. My Les Paul Special on the other hand sounds really good, as does my 335. Guess I have a dud that I will need to unload. Sucks being left handed. Always forced to buy sight unseen if I can even get it.
I go for the Deluxe- LOOKS AND SOUND of the mini-HB's always my Fave. But....WHERE are the LEFTYS? And DOUBLE-CUTS??? They MISSED the BOAT, NO VOLUTES EITHER!? BRING BACK the VOLUTE, and the STRAIGHT PULL H/S like on some of the PRO Models - Just look so UP-TO-DATE and Modern. And change the hockey-stick Explorer H/S to a 'V-Style' ARROW shape. Looks AND Works Better! Nice Overview though..... But those PRICES!!! Notice they don't say how much $$ a Junior or Special WAS when it 1st Came OUT! hahaha But 2K? I dunno....
Can anyone link me the cable he’s using?
Here ya go: bit.ly/46brFE7
Imho Gibson should make a Les Paul with the natural colours of the wood, like a guitar not painted. Anyway I prefer miniHums to hums for classic rock and blues.
I'll choose the 60's Standard.
Why not an iced tea burst for a 50s neck?!? Waiting for this for years
Without Les Paul. Our music would be a Drag. Love my 57 Les Paul standard 🇺🇸. Love that Birdland.
Hey Mark, thanks for sharing! ❤️ ❤️
So is this the lineup going forward? No classics or studios?
Crickets. . I guess no Gibson guitars for people who can’t pay the $2.7k? Only cheap quality Epiphones?
All increibles. I,ll Like70,s de Luxe.
60s ❤
Jr. is the best .Growling beast .
All those models with identical fretwire. It’s pathetic. It’s 2023. Yet you have no model with jumbo fretwire. So you don’t offer a consumer choice. But then Sue other makers who do. Hell, your own Custom shop doesn’t even offer a choice on fretwire. Yet Fender/PRS/ESP/Schecter all do.
Dear Gibson. Please do Custom Colour for Les Paul Studio too.
This would be cool!
Make a The Paul Firebrand Double Cut with one Dirty Finger pickup.
That would be rad!
@@gibson One volume control with built in kill switch, no tone control.
So punk rock 🤘 🤘
@@gibson Even Tom Delonge would buy one.
Is there no more Les Paul tribute??
Richlite fingerboards. Sure.
Is the studio gone
I Like 70,s DELuxe. I, have got 60,sStandard. All incredible.
WHere is the STUDIO model ???
for me the les paul is the coolest guitar ever. unfortunately I can't buy this beautiful guitars... not because I don't have the financial means, no, I'm left-handed..
I don't see a Tenor model.
I used to be a huge Gibson fan. But I haven't even wasted the time to look at a Gibson in years. The finish on the bodies was atrocious at best for the price. The $100 kiddie guitars were smoother. Seen smoother seas during a storm.
Hopefully this was addressed. And a new guitar shouldn't require a $200 fret working.
Where's the classic?
Remember, people. These guitars have premium electronics.
(not hatin', just messin').
Any of these guitars under $1200 ?
Hi! All prices can be found by clicking the links in the description. Thanks for watching!
😂
I'm not seeing an original ABR 1 bridge. They all look like Nashville bridges.
they are nashville bridges. true abr has the posts drilled into the wood and only on custom shop guitars. these are abr technically, says so on the back of the bridge lol
Half my rent will go into this I'll be broke if I buy more down the line 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's not complete until there's a Les Paul Custom included.
Stay tuned....
Les Paul Special.More bite.
If my new Les Paul Supreme is anything to go by, you need to sack your quality control team.
Quality should be improved!
All we need is well-built Les paul std...I tried about 20 different ones and all of them had big issues...bad nitro, glue on the fretboard, horrible nuts...etc...
I’ve actually had good success with the new lines. Seems like Ceasar has done a great job and quality is on the up!
@@GuitarTabsDaily hope so...The guitars I tried were built in 2021 and 2022
@@gibful8671 that’s fair. I tried out the 50s/60s to see what neck profile i preferred and both were built very well. New year new Gibson? 😆❤️🤘
@@GuitarTabsDaily no^^ I bought a Tokai les paul black beauty built like a custom shop! A beast^^
Buying a Gibson guitar and the status of Epiphone guitars and he strategy pricing today. I say, don' let marketing get the better of you. If you want a Gibson, then simply wait it thru and save up for a little longer. Buying an Epiphone, simply because it seems or maybe to be a value purchase, can be okay, but NOT okay, if your mission was to initially by a Gibson. They designed the system of fools...let them wait, like you need to wait. Honestly, wait and buy the Gibson. You will, in he end own perhaps one, or two less Gibsons, but they will have sold you one or two less Gibson guitars too. Fool, I, am not.
