@@Abzy_FNG As a fan of pickup trucks, I approve. 😁

@@DanielAlvarez-sl6yh Nice! Congrats on snagging one of these up! I feel like these are becoming more rare and harder to find, especially in great condition like yours. The early 90s truly seem like a golden era for Les Paul studios. Ebony boards, nice rounded neck profiles and classy looks. It’s hard to beat. Trogly just did a video of the latest 2024 Les Paul Studio release and made a point to mention how great the early 90s ones are.

@@kencreppin2146 That’s awesome! Tobacco sunburst is one of my favorite finishes! I think those early 80s Les Pauls had the Tim Shaw pickups too which are pretty rare these days.

@@domvalhalla7771 Sorry, don’t know who Linking Park is lol. And everyone knows you can technically play any genre on any guitar but some are better suited than others in specific genres. That’s why traditional teles are not as common in metal as humbucker guitars with higher output hotter pickups. The point was to show you can still get great metal tones on teles even though that’s not what they are traditionally known for. In a way I was demonstrating exactly what you’re saying.

Seems like I took Nike’s motto to heart lol

Thanks man! Indeed!

Wow! Nice collection! This is my only RG but I’m sold. Such amazing quality and versatile instruments and at a great price too.

@@plainswalker89 I did not know that to be honest. If that’s true, I agree she is a poor choice and that shouldn’t be overlooked. I do hope it’s a rumor and nothing more. I respect if someone does not like her specifically and would prefer someone else to sing for the band. However, I didn’t like that Linkin Park got hate for choosing any new singer and continuing with the Linkin Park name.

@@3akr3 Well said! Chester was a legend. I don’t think it’s fair to expect anyone to truly fill his shoes. However, the new singer can certainly bring her own sound and as long as the new music as a whole is good, I’m happy. I see this era as something separate from old Linkin Park.

@@That_one_guy8764 I agree. I liked their new song a lot. Though not sure how I feel about them playing older songs Chester sang. Either way, you’re absolutely right. They clearly got someone very different from Chester which seems like they’re not trying to copy or replace him. They’re just moving on to a new era and we’ll see in time how we like it. Personally I’m hopeful for their future as a band. Though I found out their drummer left and their guitarist will be involved in the studio but not tour with them live.

Thanks brother! Excited to do more songs with this. 😁

@@JMTrucking1417 You can tell me I’m playing it too slow, it’s possible I am since I played without a backing track or metronome (though idk how you could definitively determine that without a metronome to compare side by side) but age has literally nothing to do with speed…that’s just nonsensical. James Hetfield isn’t young but he’s got plenty of metal speed output.

Thanks, I listened to another cover and could prob improve on it. I learned this on request from a follower but only had about half hour to learn it so did my own take on it I suppose. :)

@@rocktorrocks you missed a couple of chords in one part and seriously need to speed up your down picking. Especially if you're trying to cover the Metallica version....

@@kabal6331 Thanks! Good eye! Yup, I got to see them with Motley Crue in Boston. It was one of the last shows before Mick retired from touring so I was glad I got to see them.

Thanks brother! From the old tiktok days haha.

@@salferreira7994 Thanks man! I’ll have to give that a listen! I didn’t know a lot of their stuff but was impressed by this. Some cool guitar stuff in their songs.

@@LOVENISH10 Indeed! One of my favorite sounds.

@@up_and_comeing_music_artist Thanks! 🤘😁

@@fedir_sh My pleasure! Really glad you liked it and appreciate you watching. Cheers! 🤘

Thanks! Indeed! It’s a lifelong addiction. 😎

@@rocktorrocks Good to see you using the middle position on pickup selector.. Most get it wrong and use the Bridge pickup...At Madison Square in 1973, Rock and Roll has a different tonal balance to Celebration Day . R&R= middle... Celebration Day= Bridge pickup.

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words and support as always. Cheers!

@@dantonio1 Bass is a guitar. 😉 J/k I tried tagging Alex too but no tags popped up for him.

@@pompei.musicteacher Haha well said man! If I given the option, I think most of us would choose a Gibson. However, I still adore my Epiphones and truly enjoy them. Your Epiphone sounds amazing in your videos.

Indeed! I got to try the player II strat the other day and man it was tempting to bring it home haha. Lots of Fender excitement!

Wow! The early 70s ones seem even more rare these days. Glad to hear it’s still with you after all these years. Always more valuable when you put the hours and work in to get the guitar too.

@@hushpuppykl Nice! And what a cool memory with Slash! If it’s easy to swap back, might be worth trying out the 57 classics. I feel like Gibson doesn’t make a lot of guitars with the 57 classics these days so it’s nice to see them get used.

@@rocktorrocks … Slash is not the same off stage, he’s pleasant and soft spoken. No cussing even. 🤣😂

Haha good call man, I should totally sport one. I just got a Marshall guitar stool to sit & play on. 😅

@@yellowcat1310 I think I usually prefer warmer pickups too. Thanks for watching!

For sure! I had all their albums growing up when I was learning to play. The variety of musical styles, emotion, and skill level that not just one but all four members could produce was truly something special. Jimmy Page was a huge influence for me as a guitarist too.

Wow! Thanks so much! Truly appreciate the kind words. Happy I could do such an awesome riff justice. Cheers! 🤘

Hey! Apologies for the late reply. Can I ask which time in the video you saw the extra note? I can double check. Best advice I have is to break down the solo into very small sections and learn it that way. If one part is difficult, break it down into an even smaller part and go from there. Hope that helps!

Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video. Yup! Since the Les Paul studio has the 498T/490R pickups which are the very same pickups in current Les Paul Customs I feel they are tonally similar. The ebony fretboard further adds to the Les Paul Custom feel and aesthetics. Though there are still differences like the body being slightly thinner I feel like they’re quite similar. In terms of woods, rumor on forums I’ve read mentioned the early 90s models had maple necks much like the 70s Norlin Les Paul Customs too though this isn’t something I’ve officially seen confirmed.

​@@rocktorrocks ... my '91 definitely has a mahogany neck. A bit of the paint got worn from hanging it up.

Congrats and happy new guitar day! I couldn’t agree more! 😎

Not really. Most of the details and specs I went over apply to all the recent models just the same and the few differences (e.g. CTS pots on current Epiphones & IBG CS models having one piece necks & Gibson pickups) I made a point to mention. If you noticed any incorrect specs or something I got wrong in the video certainly let me know. I also intentionally kept many of the comparisons more generalized since specs vary not just by year but also by model. This way what I went over should apply to most Epiphones over multiple years.

Happy to share! Appreciate your kind words as always and thank you for checking it out. You’ve been a great support from the start. 😎

@@rocktorrocks Thank you so much friend❗❗👍👍 本当にありがとうございます😍😍

Thanks! Rock on friend! 🤘😁
