Wow! Great pieces. I really liked your kinda blues-rock on the ‘60’s, Cooper. You are indeed a modern Texan- little blues, little country, little rock n roll. I liked the tones from the 60’s model the best. Love the banter.
Applause for 15 minutes,had to tell me to stop, beautiful playing on fantastic, best sounding , guitars I’ve ever heard. One of them will be my next guitar. I have a 40th anniversary Strat USA, 1 tele kit with F hole and humbuckers, 1 homade tele w/ 50’s blues fender custom shop pup’s and nice mitey mite neck 22 fret, PRS SE McCarty single cut black gold burst and an Alvarez mohaganytop back and sides and I’m fixing to pull the trigger on that burgundy 50’s plain top. “I’ve…..got to mister”
Cooper mentions that 60's Fender colors were, to paraphrase, "all over the place... very cool". Yes there was quite a variety and, though it seemed like they were "all over the place", they weren't. Being a very hip company, Leo saw to it that 60's colors followed the automobile colors of the time, right down to hanging posters in the shop showing the given color and actual automobile paint code from which the color was derived. For example, my all-time favorite Fender color is "Taos Turquoise" which was borrowed precisely from a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. They would literally use these automobile paint codes from which to concoct the nitrocellulose paint for a given color for the period. I, for one, wish that contemporary Fender wasn't so frugal about breaking out Taos Turquoise a bit more often. To my knowledge, this color has only been used in the custom shop for special order guitars like the "Wildwood Ten" from 2012. The closest they've come to using the color on a production guitar is "Miami Blue" which was one of the color options on the American Professional II model from a couple of years ago. When I saw the "Miami Blue" Pro II, I, same day, bought one! It stands in my collection as my favorite color of all the Guitars I own! Just a Fender bit of history I thought I'd pass on to your viewers. I've many times complimented the review and A/B videos the two of you generate for Alamo. They're unquestionably among the industry's best!
some shades/figuring combos of the fuschia look amazing... others not so much.. w the translucent paints it's not so easy as to say "this one looks good/bad." lotta variation. i have a white LP, and some bursts, and tho bursts are my thing, then translucent finishes, the Oxblood is the one (other) solid color I'm thinking about picking up.
It's okay, bud. You don't have to buy the pink guitar. lol Also, Oxblood was definitely around in the 50s. Jeff Beck's 1954 Oxblood Les Paul is a famous example.
Chris, you’re right about how iPhones and other cameras see color as compared to the human eye. I was very relieved that the sunburst Taylor I bought from you guys in fact less red and more brown than it looked in the videos and photos.
You guys keep knocking the fuchsia, but if I didn't have my wine red already, it would be between fuchsia and ox blood. To be fair, ox blood would win, but not by much.
In the 50s you could get lps in black only on special order… black lps standards are way cooler than all other colours. And 68 triburst customs rule the lpc.
I live about 7000 miles away from you guys, but one day I'll enter your store and ask for a fuchsia LP 50s. You're gonna spit your coffee and we'll become friends :D
"A mauvy shade of pinky russet..." - Douglas Adams (Slarti Bartfast's description of the design of earth in Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Did Andy Powers' Powers Electrics guitars weigh in closer to 5 lbs.? ua-cam.com/video/znWFkFzOm9I/v-deo.html The True Hybrid from Cole Clark would be closer to that weight, and acoustic strings work on the magnetic pickups!
That blueberry one is amazing, the rest pretty meh. What does everybody have against the color green? Fender and Gibson both are obsessed with these ugly colors that nobody has seen since the 60's mustangs (the cars not guitars). The "green" in this series is just another ugly blue.
I bought a 50s fuchsia LP used a couple weeks ago - loving it
I think that Jeff Beck had an 54 Oxblood Les Paul. Stunner guitars, great jam!

Nice playing! I like the sound of the Oxblood.
Cooper really shows how versatile a Les Paul is in this video.

Oxblood Docs were the coolest!
i had a dean hardtail usa in moss green it was insane looking with all the abalone and flamed wood binding
I had a dream, and a fuchsia Les Paul was not in it: but a 5 pound one was!
That 50s sounds amazing
I have a 60 duo sonic, in desert sand. Love to do one of my les Paul's in this color.
Cooper’s playing is always a treat! I’ll take a 60’s in black please :)

That was a respray.

Petition to have Chris play some electric! No pressure on how well you should play, just want to see you play some😄
Cooper knows he wants that pink Les Paul
I had a wonderful 1972 Yamaha black les paul. Yes I'm that old.
I like the oxblood 18:32
Oxblood!!! ❤
You guys keep knocking the fuchsia, but if I didn't have my wine red already, it would be between fuchsia and ox blood. To be fair, ox blood would win, but not by much.
I grabbed an Inverness Green 60s. The thing is stunning. It sounds quite a bit different than my 2015 Traditional too.
And I'd rock the fuchsia!
I went for the Pelham Blue 60’s 👋
In the 50s you could get lps in black only on special order… black lps standards are way cooler than all other colours. And 68 triburst customs rule the lpc.
When it comes to OxBlood It’s all Jeff Beck to me. I want one.

Are they doing custom colour left handed versions at all so you know?
Love LP's, but not the chrome top knobs, probably because I don't care for SG's. Just me. The oxblood is awesome, but out of my budget. Thanks, Joe.

That is classic Gibson....makes black and white guitar, calls it new. 👍
I would be bummed if everyone mistook my super dark red (or super dark blue) guitar as black. For me, the color needs to be obvious.
Dont matter they dropped the nugen burst right under yalls nose they just hiding them
They getter ready for the second iteration of the 60’s
#1 guitar rule. Gayer looking the guitar is more badss!
Reminds me of a hot pink Kramer I used to own haha
@@bucknasty69 sounds fun!

The same guitar but black in 2024? Wow Gibson...
Is there some history here, or bad blood with Gibson...🤣
Sooo, which one is TV Yellow…?🫨
