    I audibly gasped when Rob flipped the guitar for the first time to show the tuner, and I saw the heel joint :O

    • @Steve-jm8kd
      @Steve-jm8kd 8 років тому +3

      +elitemathlete Are you being serious? The feel yeah, for sure.

    • @Tom_SDM
      @Tom_SDM 8 років тому +18

      More wood doesn't necessarily mean more resonance. If anything the opposite.
      And neck joints like that (in the style of a neck-through) are a joy to play no matter what instrument they are used in.
      So both of you are wrong. The gasp at the heel joint was in delight :P

    • @TheArmkill
      @TheArmkill 8 років тому +7

      +Tom SDM + I jacked of on that heel joint.

    • @Steve-jm8kd
      @Steve-jm8kd 8 років тому +13

      I meant it changes the feel for sure, in my opinion for the better. Personally I think people who think that wood has an impact on tone are cork sniffers hahaha the pickups are like 95 per cent of the tone

    • @Tom_SDM
      @Tom_SDM 8 років тому +1

      +Stephen Coburn It definitely changed it for the better, although I must disagree on your second point.
      I said that taking out wood on the heel joint it doesn't mean less resonance. That doesn't mean that wood itself has no effect on the tone. Sure pickups contribute way more but to say that wood has no effect is akin to saying that all guitars are the same if given the same set of pickups, which simply isn't true.
      I could go into the physics behind it if you wish.

    @darylwinn7507 8 років тому

    Hey guys, I just gotta tell you that I watch your videos all the time and I really enjoy them. Of course, some are better than others but you guys give so much information about guitars and accessories. And that helps guitar players like me decide if I want or need a certain product. This video on Les Pauls is great because I'm getting ready to buy a LP and there are so many models I'm having a hard time making up my mind. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you I enjoy what you guys are doing.

  • @Jazzboy195

    I think all of your guys' videos, demo's, and review's are awesome for the fact that they are just jam packed with information, while having a humorous twist😜 the only thing I think I could ask more of is more videos on lower budget guitars. I just think it would just be a nice transition from all of these high performance guitars. keep up the amazing video's!😁👌

    I love long videos. I love the depth of the reviews. I warm up while watching, doing scales when you talk and learning something new all the time following both of you play...and sometimes, like the accoustic one a couple weeks ago, or Catalyst, you play the best music around today. I don't have to agree with everything...I do have a little ''x' up in the corner!
    And it costs me zero. How could I possibly thank you enough?

    • @totrodder97
      @totrodder97 8 років тому

      Dan D last year was so bad for Gibson i think they must have spent most of their budget on the Custom shops and Historic Reissues. I played a 2015 standard last year and i was really not impressed, i was more impressed with this gorgeous 57 reissue epiphone les paul gold top which i later ended up buying and i saved some money which is always a bonus :)

    Hats off to Gibson, all these little changes are the reason I wasn't 100% sold on the 2015 range, but this range seems near perfect. Once I see the traditional video, I don't think there will be much stopping me from coming down to Andertons and purchasing one!

    I LOVE that new 2016 neck! Its amazing such a small difference makes playing so comfy.
    I love the switching options as a player of different types of music I can nail many different tones than the typical Les Paul Traditional can. I honestly like my 2016 standard better than a 59 reissue Custom shop.

    I'm so happy to hear this. I just send back my sg special I just bought a while back last week because I just couldn't fall in love with it. It was a great guitar but the neck didn't have the Gibson feel my older les Paul has. I loved the tuner because of the convenience but I hated the weight it had and made the guitar feel unbalanced to me. When I play I don't want to have to think about it knocking in to stuff when I'm sitting down or that I have to hold the neck up. Small issues I know but when you pay good money for a guitar you better love it or it's not really your guitar. Now there is a Gibson for everybody, because I bet the things I love about traditional Gibson there is some other person that hates those things about them.

    The way I look at those auto-tuning thingymajigs, is that they're basically a locking nut, without the faff of alan keys. They're a great tool, to make life easier. Also, that nut is crazy cool, for the first time in my 9 years of playing, I'm now tempted by a Gibson!

  • @tasrex
    @tasrex 8 років тому +1

    It is nice to see that Gibson at least in my opinion seems to be hearing their costumers. Some people don't like the "new fancy" stuff on the guitars, so they made a tradicional line in order to respect the classic specs. Other people don't like some things about the tradicional specs, like the weight of the Les Paul and the neck heel, so they made also a modern improved line named high performance. I think it is a good way to respect tradicion and at the same time to keep making developments and put it in our hands.
    Some people complain about the robo tuners, but I have a 2015 SG with them, and just to be able to get lots of different tunings with just one guitar is simply great, specially if you're playing gigs, etc... And it works pretty well.

  • @MRGTR-94

    Epiphone had the access neck joint like this on the Matt Heafy Signature Les Paul since 2013, if you'd like to check them out. An essential innovation to a LP, and the most reasonable too, I think. Glad to see Gibson took the Idea and put it on a "standard" production model.

    I've looked over Gibson's 2016, and based on what I've seen online I'm actually super impressed with them. I love how they brought the Explorer back (and the HP has me wanting to sell my 2005 Exp for one) and V and I'm amazed that they finally got sensible with their pricing! The explorer standard was 1400 new a couple years ago, they dropped it by 100 bucks, which is a lot when you think about it.
    Next step? Remember when the LP Jr was a cheaper guitar instead of a 1400 dollar piece? I want a cheaper LP jr in traditional and HP specs with the T version being in the Melody Maker-Faded price range. It isn't that hard.

    The handle on that titanium case looks like a hot dog. Oh and please please please do a video on the T vs. HP 2016 Firebird as well!

    Hey guys, another great video. Keep up the good work !! I have a request: could you review some of the less common PRS models like 408, P24/22, 513, etc. vs a standard Custom 24.I'm in the market for a PRS but I can't make up my mind on which one to get and there really aren't many good comparison vids out there :p

    I'll bet the 2015 models will become serious collector's items in 5 or 10 years based on their unique, short lived run. Plus, they were actually really nice, just different.
