GIBSON Les Paul Tribute - A REAL Les Paul?
Переглядів 2,5 тис.4 місяці тому
The most affordable Gibson Les Paul. In this Video we want to find out, if it is a real Les Paul, how it sounds and what the specs are.
Eastman SB59/v - it's incredible!

The handcrafted guitar has fantastic specs, but is priced well below the world-famous original from the big G. Have you never heard or played an Eastman SB59v? In the video you get an impression of the guitar. #eastmanguitars #geardemo #guitarist
Rebuild of a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. Was it worth it?
Переглядів 1,4 тис.4 місяці тому
I got a 2018 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe and decided to improve the parts with the best possible parts available. - polished the matt top and headstock - new electricity with CTS 500K Pots, 50s wiring and paper in oil capacitors - Lightwight Aluminium Tailpiece - new ABR-1 Style bridge with unplated brass saddles - changed the bride bushings and studs - Kluson Vintage tuner - aged the nickel hardwar...
Very good video bro 👏 i have an eminence red white and blues speaker and i love the way it pairs with the blues Junior
Thank you! ✌ I recently played the red white blues speaker. great sound!
The tribute is a real Les Paul. The only difference is the growl isn’t as low. Say what you want, nothing growls like a Les Paul. If you don’t understand that, don’t own one.
Do you have a link, or a more specific comment on what product you used for the binding on the guitar?
Hi, I am not 100% sure, but I think it was Oracal 751C Colour 018 "hell elfenbein". It is a light cream colour. But: If you want to remove it later, it may react with the nitro paint of the guitar.
The vintage 30 really stands out, very forward sound, not boxy, the cannabis is too muddy, I have had the same experience you have had with the Jensen, the Jensen C2N tends to get raspy when driving it with overdrive but they have a particular sound and like you said you need to work with it and coax out the sound you want.
Thank you for your comment! 100% agree to it. Meanwhile I really love the Jensen sound. I got a Vemuram Jan Ray Overdrive and it is perfect to create the crunchy sound, I was looking for.
I'm sure whatever the collectors say about these, they're buying them up. They'll be rare soon.
Love it
Any Epiphone or Gibson is a real Les Paul where do you content creators come up with such ridiculous BS titles? Many are getting tired of it
Thank you for your comment. I can understand you, but I've actually heard this opinion about the tribute several times, even here in the comments. Even though for me it's definitely a real Les Paul, from my sight there's nothing wrong with asking this question. Like you, my answer is a clear yes.
Super geil man. Wirklich gelungen!
..my advice is to buy a Fender guitar.
Gibson Les Paul😍❤❤❤😍 A small percentage of people say unreal, usually because they don't know everything about Les Pauls. I owned the Tribute until recently and sold it for $300 more than I bought it for because I needed money. A Honeyburst Tribute sounds great and looks absolutely beautiful. There's a lot of magic about it. The fact that it's no longer produced increases its value with each passing year. I once saw an old Tribute that had been used a lot by its owner... this guitar looked exactly like one of the $100,000 bursts!
I almost sold my blues junior, thanks.
Id say the celestion is the best because its in between and you can eq to get to either other speaker kinda. I like type a celestian though in a blues jr
First thing I did when I got Blues Junior was change the speaker to an Eminence Cannabis Rex .....
It’s crazy to me that people ask if speakers make a difference in tone/sound…do pickups!?
what's your amp settings? sounds great!
Thank you! For the Video I also used my pedal board with Cloudburst Reverb and Boss Blues Driver to add a little gain. Amp settings: Vol. 2,2 / Bass: 6,5 / Mid: 2,5 / Treb: 7,5 / Master: 8,5 / Reverb: 0 / no mid boost. Without Pedalboard I would change Volume to 8,5 and Master to about 2,2 for a nice crunchy clean sound.
It has a maple neck-which was to save cost. So, no it’s not a real Les Paul.
maybe it was used to save money, but the maple has been used from time to time since the 70s, e.g. at customs. It has a brighter tone, which is what some people like on a rock guitar. Also not every tribute has a maple neck, mine does not.
@@maik_on_guitar The fact the only guitar in their line up that has a maple neck, so happens to be their low budget entry level Gibson says it’s to say cost at the expense of the consumer. As for this “brighter sounding” argument, isn’t it funny that basically no well known Les Paul player has ever bought into that argument? Fact is: it’s excuses like that that allow Gibson to throw maple necks of guitars, and people will manufacture an excuse for it.
@@automatoncollectives7237 I don't question that it is the cheaper entry-level model and of course it lacks many expensive features such as bindings, pearl logo in the headstock, etc. and also possible that it is used because it is cheaper to produce the guitar with a maple neck. I'm just saying that there have always been maple necks on Les Pauls and for me that is not a criterion as to whether it is a real Les Paul or not. But it's okay if it's a crucial point for you. ✌
Rubbish. Hardly a new thing to have a maple neck on a Les Paul. You saying that Les Paul Customs aren't real?
In the movie what was in the case?
Someone is trying their best to cheer me up ,just need a hug and i will be good✌️
Nice!
yeah we happy
Out of all 3 speakers My favorite was the B, The Jensen, I also liked A, the Celestion, I think C was a no for me after the second test. They all did good in overdrive But A and B were better all around speakers and to me the clean sound is the most important. Great video and nice playing. Celestion held right in there but I noticed did not have the volume as the Jensen. I am glad I did not have to make the choice .
Thank you for your comment! I totally agree 100% on all you wrote. I am also happy that you liked the video! ✌
@@maik_on_guitar I have a Blues JR With Jensen and would not change it. I do not know the version but it's about 3 years old.
@@garypannone7755 me too, love my Jensen especially clean. Since 2018 the Blues Junior 4 is available, so it should be the same model that I have.
Great playing
Thank you, I am working on it :-)
Good video thanks
Thank you!
Brilliant. Actually brilliant. 😊
thank you 🙂
I have this amp, and I love it. Whilst watching, I though B was going to be the Vintage 30, as I assumed it would sound the best so quite pleased to know I have the speaker I like in my amp.
the best possible result from your point of view!! 😀👍
I have a Greenback that came in mine, and it definitely sounds very different than a Blues Jr. with a Jensen.
Grennback is on my testing list for the future
Sound good 👍 😮
Just stopped in to answer the question posed by the thumbnail: Yes. Speakers are what matters most in any guitar signal chain.
Thank you, totally agree!
Cannabis rex sounds best.
thank you for your comment!
@Maikonguitar VERY NICE!!!!!! This just made my evening/night.
Hi, glad to hear that, thank you very much! :-)
Great Comparison, I enjoyed the format you've used. Another thing about speakers is their efficiency rating/volume. I've an old Marshall I was running with a pair of Vintage 30s, it was just to loud for what I was doing. I switched to a pair of classic Greenbacks (which are less efficient) and the volume dropped by almost half. Check the speaker's measured sensitivity, the Vintage 30s are rated at is 100 dB. The Greenback speakers measure only 98 dB of sensitivity (a significant reduction in sound pressure level). Just my $.02 Cents, you can really customize an amplifier for specific needs/uses by changing speakers.
Hi, I am glad that you like the video! And I agree, there are much more aspects like efficiency of a speaker, that can make the difference. ✌
Nice ‘68 RI Goldtop 👍
Yes, it‘s a great guitar! ✌
@@maik_on_guitar I'll bet the builder back in 1968 never imagined their lack of oversite would create such a desirable Les Paul!
Yep. I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s and a Fender BJ IV. Perfect combination. I actually like the BJ IV better than my Twin Reverb.
I can understand that! For me it is also the best combination
Only a good player understands how effective a blues junior can be. Good guitar straight in with a little Reverb and your in business. Enjoy that beautiful gold top sir.
Thank you for the nice comment! Yes, less is more sometimes. 😊
Gotta say I don't like any of them, but the CRex if my choice was limited to these three. Surprised at the Vintage 30, thought it would trounce the others.
thank you, the CRex was definitely the most balanced speaker
Are these speakers new out of the box?, because they'll sound a lot different after they are broken in. Jensen C12N needs a lot of break in time and sounded too harsh and brittle. As it is I preferred the Canna Rex.
V30 was the only one that has been played before. You are right, the sound will changes, but I couldn't wait that long 🙂 I also agree on the C12N, but that´s what I liked most.
Wow! That's some nice tone and phrasing. I'm putting out some content, similar to yours, but maybe worse?! lmao Would love to have some feedbackof yours, if you please! Btw, love p90s to death!
Hi Pedro, thank you! Nothing wrong with your Videos, maybe try to improve the sound quality of the recording. ✌
Maik that some serious les paul collection dude wow !!!!
Thank you! And all of them are completely different. That's definitely how I sell it to my wife. 😅
@@maik_on_guitar I always present mine with fait accompli haha
My wife had a horse for a long time. She paid €400 a month and had to go there once a day, whatever the weather was, to shovel a wheelbarrow full of shit out of the box. And again, paid 400€ for that! Crazy! 🤣
@@maik_on_guitar Have a child! For the past 30 years I've been buying "extra" guitars and amplifiers with the idea that they are really for our Son.....................Just Saying, my Wife can easily say "NO" to me, not so much for our Son! 😉
@@hkguitar1984 hahaha, good point! We have a 10 weeks old newborn Baby. I can use that! 😂
Very nice tones. Also nice fortune of Les Pauls you have!
Thank you! I think they like living in a pack! 😂 Hopefully another great example will be added this week... 🙂
My tribute is the older 2011 Les Paul Studio 50's tribute. I have changed my frets to stainless and had the guitar Plek'ed. I have also changed the electronics out and installed hand wired CTS potentiometers, with orange caps, and a switchcraft switch. Mine is all mahogany with an ebony fretboard and the tuners that you like. Its white with black p90's and chrome twlecaster knobs. I think it looks like a classy tuxedo, and sounds classy, too. I love these guitars, but i always tweak my stuff.
The Studio Tribute is a bit different, I think but also a great guitar! If you like to change stuff on your guitar, you should watch the video of my Les Paul Deluxe, which I completely rebuilt. New P90 and Staple pickup, tuners, polished the matte surface, hand rewired everything with paper in oil capacitors... 😅
Hola Maik, felicitaciones desde Argentina. Excelente trabajo y equipamiento. Saludos
¡Gracias por tu comentario! Saludos de vuelta desde Alemania
I have one of those tributes, but mine is white. I play mine through a Fender Hot Rod Deville 212. I also love that p90 into a Fender tube amp sound. Nice.
I also have a Tribute, great Guitars! Hot Rod Deville 212 is a super amp, played that some days ago and was very impressed! :-)
@maik_on_guitar I've had mine for about twenty years. It has a vintage 30 with an eminence cannibas Rex that are both very well broken in. You can't go wrong with Fender tube amps. I've had to replace all the capacitors and tubes, but that just makes it more "mine." Thanks for the good tone sharing.
@@LB-qf3ef funny, I just uploaded a video with a speaker comparison with cannabis rex and V30 speaker. I also like to change and optimize things till I am happy with it 🙂
Great tones. A mix of Peter Green, Snowy White and Gregor Hildon. 🤘
Thank you! It's not the worst thing to sound like them :-)
You’ve achieved a great guitar and sound Maik.
Thank you very much! ☺
Nice video and guitar(s). What was your process in order to add a fake binding ? I think it's a nice addition to this model.
Hi, thank you! It was like that: Cut a 5mm (?) stripe of vinyl and just slowly attached it. But: I did a lot of vinyl work, like Stickers for Camping Busses for example, so I have some experience. Also keep in mind, that the glue of the vinyl might react with the nitro and I am not sure, what happens if you want to remove it. 😊
@@maik_on_guitar Thanks ! I guess I'll go to my local luthier and ask him to do it if he agrees with it.
Gives it a totally different look! 👌
@@maik_on_guitar Yep, the only thing missing to the honeyburst Tribute is a binding. Then it’ll be perfect to my eye.
@@SamuelLetecheur I agree! just make sure you use a high-quality film so that it lasts a long time
Kann dir da total zustimmen. Ich liebe meine 23er Tribute. Abo hab ich da gelassen, viel Erfolg mit dem Channel 🎉
Hey, vielen lieben Dank, ich geb mir Mühe! 🙂
Pretty nice job. Well done, and your guitar sounds phantastic. Just one question: the capacitors are mounted with a different direction for neck and bridge pickup. PIO capacitors show different behaviour when direction is changed. So did you select these different directions after hearing or was ist just by chance? With disk-capacitors there is no difference in direction, opposit to PIOs.
Hi, I asked that question to my Luthier and read some articles about the direction. My conclusion was, that there is no difference in tone, but I did not tried it the other way. I decided that both open sides should show to the tone pots. :-)
I forgot, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you like the guitar 🎸🤘
Nice job, and you habe a great playing style!
thank you very much! 🤘
Maik, nice job on the guitar! I really like what you did. And it sounds great, that little amp seems to have a LOT of low end. Is that just the amp alone, or did you use something else as well??
Thank you very much! Yes, in fact, the sound comes from the amp alone, without any other pedals. The little thing sounds really unbelievably good. I'll make a video about it soon
@@maik_on_guitar looking forward to that video!
@@scottyhughes9179 hopefully next week!
That sounds fantastic, well done.
thank you very much, I appreciate that 🤘
