Great comparison man! For me the '60 sounds a bit more brighter, not better but they are different. It's just a matter of taste.
The 50s has somethig special especially when play through a good tube amp
One of the best on the 50s and the 60s standard les paul. 50s has a warmth and vintage feel to it.
Great video - thank you for your work here!
Bro…your opening jam is so beautiful! Goosebumps 🔥
Dude you rock. Thank you for posting, and being excellent. Subscribed!
The 60s do sound a little brighter. I don’t know if it’s just but it seems you can hear it in the middle position . Excellent composition
great video !!! thanks
Hello !
For you what is the best for led zep and gun n roses songs ??
Great video!!!
Excellent playing and demo of the guitars. I have smaller hands but still think a 50s is more for me. I want to test the difference in a store but I know I will never buy a new Gibson.
Is the 50 neck noticeably thicker than 60?
I have both, 50s gold top and 60s Bourbon Bust 60s 😊
Great demo. Just picked up a 60s and it's way good. Tried the 50s and again, way good. However, the size of the 50s neck especially up dusty end , was so thick it kept irritating my previously dislocated/fractured thumb ! Had to give it up . 60s is a bit brighter mibbee. Neck v playable.
Great comparison !
Do you think is it better to buy a '60s or a '50s Standard Les Paul when already owning a '50s with P-90 and a SG Standard '61 ? Playing styles are mainly a lot of blues, some classic rock, some pop, some jazz... but no hard rock or heavier playing styles. I like the '61 burstbucker in my SG and really like the fat neck of my '50s P90 Les Paul ... but my fear is that the '50s Standard with burstbucker 1 & 2 will sound too close to my P-90. Thanks for the help.
The Burstbuckers 1 & 2 should technically sound warmer compared to the P90s. You will get a brighter crunch tone with the P90 for sure. Personally I really like how the Alnico 2 & 3 magnets sound in the Burstbuckers 1 & 2 compared to the Alnico V in the 60s Burstbuckers. I guess I feel the Alnico 2 & 3 sounds a little warmer to the touch.
I think you should perhaps try each guitar and feel which neck you prefer, since you could always just swap out pickups if you end up being unhappy with them....
.....or you know, just buy more guitars 🤣
I have a video comparing a 50s humbucker vs P90 vs mini humbucker that you can check out as well:
czcams.com/video/nfylaaJGRWM/video.html
The 50s has the trademark classic hard rock tone. It is PERFECT for that tone.
The 60s is a little brigther and tighter, so much better for higher gain. The 60s pickups are some small step below active pickups but retain a lot of clarity and texture. So great for hard rock and metal, where the 50s would start to get muddy with a lot of gain. Given you're looking for a more jazzy, bluesy, classic rock tone, the 50s is no doubt what you're looking for. Definitely not too close to the P90s. If anything, the 60s would be closer to the SG.
60s is better for modern and 80s metal, hard rock, hair metal, etc.
The cleans on the 60s are full body and warm with the neck pickup, and bright and chimey with the bridge pickup. The 50s clean are always warm and full body.
Warmer but muddier tone and a little less definition on the 50s to my ear, but with looks like that it's hard not to go for the Gold Top
60's is more brighter. Better with distortion. 50's is very warm and smooth. Better in clean and overdrive situations 😊
❤❤❤
👍👍👍
I was torn between the two as I sold a 60’s for a 50’s for the fatter neck. Loved the 60’s didn’t love the neck. From a sound pov I love the warmth of the 50’s on the cleans and the brightness of the 60’s with overdrive. Go figure.
Great video btw. Exactly what I was looking for.
60’s❤
I have both sets of these pickups, 50s bridge is 8.1K ish, 60s bridge is 8.6K ish, both necks are 7.5-7.6K ish.
Wish the Probucker 1&2 neck was cooler, 7.0-7.2K, or that Epi would come out with a low wind lightly potted set with assymetrically wound bobbins, which is saying the same thing really.
Probucker 2 & 3 sound great if you "Greeny" the neck pickup magnet, really great actually.
And you can get close to Page's Madison Square Garden sound if you flip the PB2&3 bridge and neck, that is put the bridge pickup in the neck position, neck in the bridge. Better if the neck pup you've got is a bit hotter than 7.6K (swap in an A5 or A6 magnet for 0.2-0.3K bump up.)
The 60's sounds better to me
