I bought a 2019 Special and I love it. The p90's are so expressive. I never buy brand new guitars but this one was an exception. Gibson is definitely on the right track. Everyone should have a Special in their roolbox.
JUST PUT SOME CASH DOWN ON A 2015 WALNUT FINISH.
I love P90 pickups. they sound great.
These seem noisier to me than most.
I have 4 Les Pauls: two Goldtops, a Standard, and a Junior ... all with P90s. Can't get enough.
@@waybackplayback1347 maybe just the gain level of the effects
@@waybackplayback1347 and that's the magic of the P90s.
Lemmo is a monster at this style of rhythm guitar. If I bought this guitar, that is the general tone I would buy it for.
those rhythms were amazing
Finally.. a guitar demo playing rhythm/chords.. pretty much every other demo is dudes doing solos.. uggh..
Now I just want to hear everything with a Hammond B3 accompaniment. Dammit, Norm!
Lol man😎

Such a fantastic guitar! Its such an inspiration to play! Since I got it I’ve been feeling so inspired! The sound of the pickups, the light weight and the fantastic neck! Everything adds up to a killer instrument!
And damn...you can play that thing well!
@@nverga Thank you so much!!
I was deciding between getting the 2020 Special and the 2020 Junior. I went with the Junior because I don't have any single pickup guitars ... but I still want a Special.
Shoulda just got the special.
@@auntjenifer7774 perhaps, but I already have 2 goldtops. They're the same setup: 2 p90s, bridge and tailpiece. The junior interested me for being single pickup and having the wrap around tailpiece. I don't regret not getting a special. I look forward to adding it to my collection down the road.
Get both
Love the P-90 growl!
Finally someone who understand what customers want to hear. No solo, no jazz sound.. we want to hear what it sound like when you cranck up the bridge. Thanks, this guy sold me this guitar!
Exactly
straight up garage punk rock n $#%@ing roll baby , that's what the LP with P90's is all about , and the TV yellow is just a classic vibe , always luved these guitars , turn it up to 11 and let it cook , my kinda rocker , thanks guys.
Let’s play how many copy writes can I get in one video
Just bought one today. Fat neck. P90s sound awesome. Good alternative for a goldtop if you prefer a lighter guitar
Funny you mention it. My Goldtop standard is a bit too heavy for extended jamming. Looking at this guitar right here to be my next
This guitar is great. I've been lucky enough to have one a few days now
Reminds me of Lowman Pauling's Les Paul. Shoulda busted out a 5 Royales tune.
If the TV yellow story were true, why did they make the cheapest guitar in TV yellow? Why not a TV yellow Custom? Musicians lucky enough to get on TV in the 1950's would want to play the best guitar, not the cheapest. I never believed this myth.
1. Most bands would have no spare money.....
2. Your problem is thinking a Gibson standard is the best guitar out there......this guitar rocks. I know what i would rather have.
The Custom was black, back in those days. I don't think they were thinking about what their guitars looked like on this weird TV thing back then, it would never be big.. I think the yellow and cherry were the cheapest more easy ways for them to finish the guitars in and still have them look decent. But maybe that other yellow-ish singlecut guitar had something to do with the yellow too, Gibson tried to sell guitars to students so why not make your guitar look like something kids see in the hands of guys playing guitar. The custom was black because it was suposed to look like a fancy tuxedo suit. Even the late 50's Les Pauls in bursts weren't selling at the time so they discountinued it and revamped the Les Paul into the slinky double cut we now know as the SG. Les himself wasn't happy with the new guitar so he told Gibson to stop using his name for it. The fancy bursts for Les Paul Customs came in the late 60's when the brittish guitarheroes were seen playing those late 50's bursts and Gibson put the Les Paul back in production but figuring the players would want the next best thing, only making Customs for a brief moment.
If you watch(ed) old B&W TV... the live studio stuff (like the news) .... if you had a white shirt on ... the camera went crazy ... so they wore light blue, light green or light yellow ..on screen ..they looked white. TV Yellow looks a very lovely white .. in B&W
My grandpa has an original issue les Paul special in tv yellow that was his first guitar. He never plays it anymore because he's scared to damage it. This is ganna be an awesome Christmas gift!
That’s nice man
Wholesome
GRANDPA ROCKS!
Where's does your grandpa live?
Please play some period correct style, Freddie King or Steve Cropper/Lowman Pauling into a small Tweed Amp, and old man like me can't deal with someone abusing these guitar with rock power chords. (goes to 99 % or guitar demos)
That tone is 100% Pure Beef
I guess thumping Thursday is a thing of the past.
GREEN DAY!!
The first single I ever bought...when you burst into Lenny Kravitz Fly Away...amazing haha 😅👍
P.S I want that guitar 😔
TV stands for Telecaster Version.
sounds pretty muddy, as opposed that grainy throaty p90 tone. good playing all the same. just not the tone expected...
Is it the same p90s as the more expensive gibson's ?
Gibson only does one p90 pick up. So yes.
This has always been my dream guitar. Hopefully with a 40th birthday next year you never know! 🤣
Exactly what I’ve asked for for my 40th next year 😂
Big ups from Botswana !!
The only thing is that players on TV would be playing a regular Les Paul. The TV model was pretty bare bones.
That’s the point, even though les Paul standards were like 250$ back then the special was still cheaper and special players were plentiful
That guitar sounds nice on clean tho
This has to be the best sounding Gibson I've heard in the sub 2k price range.
I'd have to put a intonatable bridge on it for my own OCD. Not that it sounds super off now, I just prefer something adjustable.
Power chords all the way through...ugh painful
I just got one and it's very green looking. Maybe if it gets out in better light it might look different
Happy to hear Green Day!
Hey this is great GOTD whooa Jeff in LA USA
Sup Jeff!!!
Nothing wrong with a recent guitar, especially one as nice as this one! Awesome job Lemmo! However! Gotta do a Maton!
The sound you hear is the sound of the pedal, not the guitar. What's the point?
Great nails, Jen.
Listened to the pedal more than the guitar
Time for me to try one! Sounds amazing. Gibson is back!
Power cord Thursday 🤘love it
Chord*
A tuxedo t-shirt is not a tuxedo, sir...
Just ordered one today and can`t wait. Last Les Paul I bought was in 1990 still have it , this guitar with those P-90`s will be a nice addition.
I was expecting him to play heavy stuff just because he was wearing a Gojira shirt.
That was great makes me want something with p 90s
I really like these videos, but I'd like to hear all the guitars without pedals clean just plugged directly into the amp. You don't really get a feel for what the guitar sounds like with tons of distortion.. they pretty much all sound the same that way.
But then they play it through a real nice amp too. I need to know what it sounds like through my basic Marshall 30.
Do they use pedals? Sounds like it amp break up
Kinda boring without the effects. Lemmo can't really do his thing otherwise. I think most of us are more interested in Mike than the guitars aha
Go to guitar center and play your heart out...as soon as you get your show, you can play them any way you want.
@@bloibl916 Sorry, I was under the impression that at least part of the purpose of the videos was to showcase Norman's Rare (Expensive) Guitars, you know like they're trying to sell the guitars. For me, since I don't live in LA I would be more inclined to buy one if I actually had some idea of what it sounds like. I already know what a $100 Tube Screamer sounds like. But having said that I also enjoy seeing what Mr. Lemmo "does with them."
What drive pedal is he using on this? No way a twin breaks up like that. Sounds great and I happen to be shopping for a new pedal.
Probably a Tube Screamer. He uses that one most often.
Definitely the screamer
But P90s makes any amp break. But it could be an overdrive pedal
Lemmo is a monster, period
LEMMO love ya dude, you know what’s up 🎸
What is that tune you were playing at the beginning? It is bugging me why I cannot name it but definitely know it!
Lenny Kravitz ~ Fly Away

@@lukero5502 thank you 👍
Fly like an eagle woo
A demo shouldn't be all solos, but believe it or not, on occasion, some players have to play a lead so there ARE people that want to hear what single notes, runs/lead sound like. A good demo should be a mix of chords and leads, clean and dirty, so there's something for everyone. And for me personally, turn up the treble and reverb and throw in some ambient finger picking for good measure. The obligatory "no 'blooze noodling'" comment is getting as stale as the blues noodling. ✌🏻
Can anyone find me a left handed one? Cash in hand, 216 Ohio LOL .. but seriously that second stimmy is burning a hole in my wallet
Such a smaller body on this model. Lemmo looks like he's playing a ukelele.
@@stevebrule6172 Lemmo must be a big boy
@@stevebrule6172 Hey Steve check this out for the description for this guitar: A truly classic guitar, the Les Paul Special sprang from the Les Paul Junior design in 1955. It is smaller.
@@loudmouthnewyorker2803 the junior part has nothing to do with the size of the guitar. It was suposed to be a lower end student model hence the 'junior' part in the name. The special was the next step up from the junior for someone who wanted 2 pickups instead of just one. The standard came next and the custom was the top of the line model. The only real difference between the jr/specials and the standard/custom, is that the studend models have flat tops, like it's a straight flat piece of wood instead of the facy curved top on a standard or custom.
You should always start with a clean tone!!...
Michael do you own that yellow guitar
Whatever happened to thumping Thursday?!!.............
Lol Gibson has to rebuild their dealer network with Guitar Center likely going under
I want this Shirt, damned.
Damn, that sounds good!
Will a noise gate solve p90 hum?
nice tone, what's the signal chain?
How abou next time you play a special some blackberry smoke?
This year I both bought a Gibson Les Paul special cherry double cut 2 p90's and an Epiphone Les Paul special TV yellow single cut just like in the video and guess what !? I play the Epiphone Les Paul special TV yellow more than the Gibson Les Paul special double cut!
Both mine sounds better than this mud machine !
That crunchy p90 sound
This sounds great!
Should have switched the video to black and white for the jam .
Need clean tones demo
Sunburst far better looking !
Is that the normal color of the fretboard ?It looks like too dry
Is the distortion the way the guitar always sounds, or is it amp breakup, or a pedal? Would have liked to hear clean tones, also.
How do people intonate these guitars without adjustable saddle? Don't mind my ignorance. Never had one
The bridge is compensated and has adjustable screws for intonation. You adjust both high E and Low E and all others are adjusted. You don't adjust string by string but find a compromise adjust for all strings.
It works!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mustard..butter? Makes me hungry.
I would love if Lemmo did some affordable favorites
Shame he doesn’t work for Norm’s affordable guitars. But yeah I agree! It’s been a while since I’ve seen some more affordable guitars on here
Norms pawn shop. Different channel lol
P-90"s
I love that tv yellow color
Great sound
I have one of these guitars; they are something else 👍
G
Derringer, Danny Johnson.
the noise! why go on? and, out of tune too! p90's are like having a vacuum cleaner on-the bridge is not compensated.
man that thing is sick
Authentic Gibson tone including the out of tune g string
Gotta use a wound G with the old style wraparounds or they intonate like a** as you move up the neck.
That last one started my morning with a fire friday.
7:07 what tune is this?
Welcome to Paradise by Green Day
The story about tv-yellow being made for tv isn't true. It is one of those those myths that refuse to die.
how do you know??
@@soofitnsexy The Junior and Special were beginner guitars. Musicians on tv would play a more bling guitar like a custom or burst. According to Tony Bacon tv-yellow was most likely named after Les Paul and Mary Fords tv-show.
Gojiraaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Sounds great👍 good skills
Why are the strings wrapped roun the bridge like that ?
It's called a wrap-a-round tailpiece for a reason. It's how they did it back then, even on Les Paul standards the first 2 years. They came up with the 'normal' tune o matic style bridge later on for their 'fancy' standard line but stuck with the wrap a round for their affordable student models like the Juniors and Specials because of the price point.
Or the short and right answer....Because it doesn't have a bridge!
I hate Green Day. Why did you waste your talent and a brand new guitar on that garbage? A+ on Lenny Kravtiz though.
Because believe it or not some people might like green day,and may even dislike Kravitz.
@@jordanpratt3821 different strokes for different folks
🔥🔥🤘🏽
I love it!!! ❤
Is this the first time Green Day was played on GOTD?
Yawn
pls run though a marshall
I love mine!!! Bought it last year, but after checking the serial#, found out it was made in 2011, not 2019. Weird. Maybe some old stock they're trying to move? Either way, I absolutely love it!!! It was the best $1,600 I ever spent. Very good clean jazzy tones, but has that gritty overdriven tone as well. No offense to the wonderful Mr. Lemmo, but it can sound way better than demonstrated here. But don't get one, I want mine to be rare when I'm older. 😉 We can't all be having them, or can we? 😁
That just sounds weird. Why don't you ask the store you bought it from? Specs should be different, and they still asked the same amount as a new one.
Gibson is the Apple of guitars.
Are you getting Agnessi too?
yuck - all greenday-ish chords - gotta get a miked amp for the video
What’s with the green pixelation on these videos? Thought it was my iPad looks like it’s the video
