Worked hard, payed rent, bills, food, etc, saved for a 50s tribute 2016. Worth all the patience, saving and effort. A special guitar, amazing bang per buck. Anyone sayin these are cheap and all that crap can try living on a real world budget, save for one of these and then get a grip on reality. These are fantastic guitars.
Indeed. Never could afford a true Gibson Les Paul Standard, but was lucky enough to have a little spare money when the 2016 Tributes were launched. Got the 50's Tribute (no High-Performance) in Honeyburst and love it a lot. Sounds great through my Blackstar HT-R1 Tan Bronco small stack. Working man's Les Paul, and found on Reverb that it sells used for more than it costed brand new these days. Not meaning that I'm ever gonna sell it.
My dad got me one those for my 18th birthday and it's the best thing ever
That's a wonderful present! Enjoy!
Dude I’m the same way wtffffff
4 years later, do you still have the guitar?
@@wiseguy9202 yes
@@courgeonaute That's cool. Just curious how these stand up to the test of time.
If a Les Paul is a plain solid color-Scratchplate
If a Les Paul has a very nice flame and nice burst color-No Scratchplate
Jimmy Page might have something to say about that...
Unless its a reissue...

I bought the 60's tribute in 2011 and it's become my go to guitar. Amazing value & highly recomended
The Captain has grown a ton with his solo playing! Awesome job Captain! Great job on the intro solo - paired nicely with Chappers rhythm playing
have to say I'm with the captain on the scratch plates
Pro scratchplate! Can I still get a hug from you Rob if I ever meet you?
Of course :-)
+Rob Chapman If you come to Nepal I can be anywhere at Nepal for you to just hug.
+Rob Chapman Mr.chappers can you share with us your favorite blues guitar players? you and the captain always play some of the best opening intros in UA-cam and I want to be able to follow up on that which I have. Everytime you guys play your chops me and my brother copy your playing and we are always wondering who your favorite guitarists in blues are? Thank you and much love for your band. 😄
Pro scratchplate ✋🏽
Careful he is kinda funny,,Watch your rear end..lol
A Les Paul isn't a Les Paul without a scratchplate. Good enough for Jimmy Page...good enough for me!!
Would love to see a review of a higher end Epiphone Les Paul vs the lower end Gibson Les Paul
Me too
Yes!!!! That would be awesome!!
Come to the year 2020 they have a few of those videos.
The intro was the tastiest jam I've ever heard from you guys for a while!! DAMN GOOOOOD
And also I prefer to have a scratch plate to protect the clear coat on my LP but it looks hideous on a Zakk Wylde Custom :(
Whoever edited this episode - I love you.
I am in love with that 60's tribute les paul.
Pro Scratchplate/Pickguard here. A Les Paul without it just looks wrong. It's like a pocket square on a nice suit. Just makes it look smarter.
hello there captain n chappers
scratchplates just look sad!
I love your channel, one of my absolute favourites on yt!
i would love a "history" type video/series, where you talk about brands history, materials and when and why things happend, its really fun to hear you talk so passionately about all things guitars and i think that would be great!
maybe you have done this, but i havent stumbled across any so i thought id mention it.
have a wonderful day fellows and do keep uup the good work!!
anti scratch plate for life.
+Anthony Benanti Personally, I think an ESP EC series is a better choice if you want no scratch plate and tbh, in every way really. For give or take $1000 I definitely have gotten guitars in the past decade I really would say are high quality than a Gibson of the same price range . Now that it's 2016, spending the amount of money for a new Gibson at what they cost, on top of the level of mediocrity their quality control has sunk to seems like the buyer hasn't done enough research into other guitar companies. I think a lot of people still believe Gibson is like gold standard of quality still where you can pick up pretty much any guitar of theirs and be confident it's going to great, which sadly is not the case anymore and every year they continue to cut more and more corners to where this year I'd probably think buying an Epiphone at half the price of a Gibson, and spending a bit of money upgrading it would be the wiser choice.
I'm really not trying to enrage anyone and if you like Gibson's and buy them, I don't judge. People are going to like what they like and they have that choice, however it bums me out that to me that within the past decade especially, Gibson has really seemed to have lost a lot of pride in their instruments quality and seem very entitled to charge an arm and a leg for anything with Gibson on the head stock regardless of it's quality.
+Anthony Benanti same
+Telebasterd funny you say that i currently own an epiphone les paul special ii
I'm going to repeat the majority of the comments and say that Lee's playing has really gone to another level. Not in any way saying that he was rubbish before. Could listen to those sweet bluesy licks all day! Seen that he is thinking about studying Jazz too...
#TeamDontCareWhetherThereIsAScratchplateOrNotAllLesPaulsAreNice
Haha
Scratch plates are defiling to beautiful guitars. Take them all off and BUUUURRRNNN them!
But is the guitar beautiful when all the finish near the strings is gone?
s u c c IMO, yes. I see it as a good last touch.
#AllLesPaulLivesMatter
Awesome tones and badass playing guys! And Lee's mean face was so damn funny
ah, when that scratchplate came off.. Magic! I'm with you Rob!
I just pulled the trigger on one of these gold tops. Such a good day..
Pro scratch-plate team !
For me the whole scratchplate thing really depends on the colour.
ye. like if its a really posh figured top and a contemporary finish then no scratchplate but i love it on classic colors
The captain is absolutely kicking arse on that guitar. Brilliant playing.
Pro-scratch plate here. It is neat that the high-performance version just pops off though.
The neck joint has finally been slimmed down to be like the axcess. Yesss I might go buy one!
In 12:55 My Soul screams to the Rock n Roll sound of this amazing P90 atitude!
No scratch plate in Appetite style looks better and meaner. I bought a Les Paul Studio '50s Tribute T (Satin Vintage) Traditional 2016 (sorry not in UK but living in Singapore) a few days ago after watching this video on this highly informative & entertaining channel. Yes, the guitar really sings by itself from clean to dirty with or without plugging in. Thanks guys.
the answer to the question/statement about gibson and marshall going together really well, I'm surprised no one has said that gibson and marshall go together like Chappers and the Captain. love your videos guys. keep up with the awesome work. rock on guys!!
A raise to whoever edits these, please! Hilariously well done!
Ya’lls review of these and other guitars and amps have helped me out in my decision making, thank you! I just picked up a ‘60s tribute high performance from ‘16 in the satin black, and I love it! Rocking those p90s through my laney gh50r 212
You and the others have such a GOOD TIME with all your videos and that's great. I enjoy your information that is presented in a relaxed atmosphere and hope you continue making them. Thank You.
I have a 2012 50's tribute. I have to say I love it and have had no problems with it what so ever.
both, a scratch plate(epi bonnamassa goldtop burstbuckers 2/3)
no scratch plate (gibson 2013 LpJ 4904/498T) GREAT REVIEW
Chappers i want to buy one of your guitars.....
Scratch plates and no scratch plates both look stunning. Peace and love.
Scratch plate on for life! Btw, nice solo towards the end Lee
i love the editing for these guys
Great to see Lee become a more improved/confident player over the years.
Go team lose the scratch plate... lol! Nice vid guys, personally I would never ever buy an LP style guitar with anything other than humbuckers but I must admit the P90 one doesn't sound bad! And thanks for plugging 'em into a Marshall... ;)
I just recently got a 2016 Firebird T and it's amazing. It's become my main guitar with my new band. You have to review one you'll love it!
Scratch plates on solid bodies, none on archtops/hollow-bodies. And that's a no to mayo or beans on pizza. Another great review guys!
Lee's playing compared to the earlier videos has come such a long way!
man, i love Lee's chord phrasing! so much to learn from watching you fellas play, cheers!
I'm pro pickgaurd/scratchplate and i think having that on the guitar compliments it, whether its the color and/or style of the guitar ,it gives it an extra effect to the guitar itself
I got a 2016, black version, but in 2017, so quite well discounted. As Lee, says, compared to my standard, I just want to play this all the time! I don't need to worry if I scratch it, drop it or whatever, I can just enjoy it for what it is!
Lees soloing is the best!!!!!
wow i love it!!
i tried out the 60s tribute yesterday through a blackstar artisan, sounded beautiful.
when they have a nice flamed top i prefer them without the scrathplate, but the most of the time i like les paul with them rather than without. Great video by the way
I just got the Tribute 50's HP...fantastic guitar, I love it. I got the honeyburst finish, And yes I took the scratch plate off!
Going to see about getting the 50s tribute in honeyburst tuesday. Excited.
that 60s with the p90s gives me a huge trouser-happy :3
Captain, I made the exact same noise when I heard the high performance LP bridge pickup through that Marshall! Nothing like it!
5:42, the best bit!
Yay! Blues noodling! You can't possibly get tired of it.
pro scratch plate. Rock on Lee and Rob
Damn, Lee! You've gotten so much better at guitar since I started watching in 2011
It all really depends on how the LP looks as to whether a scratch plate would look good on it or not. I've got a 2014 LPJ Pro and a scratch plate would just look silly on it. In fact, on my guitar, the wear marks actually make the guitar look really cool too, same goes for my SG.
the captain ladies and gentlemen lives with this guitar..
I like my scratchplate like my mayonnaise. I don't like mayonnaise.
+iFlare How would Les Paul sign your guitar? Fokn nailz n shit in ya skrat plat
How WOULD he sign it? He's dead.
+JonV Yeah lol
Took mine off my 2010 50s tribute gibson too
I'm guessing they put the p90s in the 60s model is because they used to put the mini buckers in a lot of the les Paul's in the 60s and a lot of people took them out and replaced them with the p90s because they sounded better and fit perfectly in the slot, Mike Ness of social distortion is a great example of this all of his les Paul's are 60s vintage les Paul with the pick ups swapped out to p90s
Aaron Smith late 60s Gibson brought p90s back in some LPs
I love my new 2020 Standard 60's but I do wish it had the soloist
fingerboard like this model. Love the wider feel of the 2 models I
currently have from 2013.
Come on the scratchplate team!
i mean this with all the love in my heart, but i remember when Capt sucked ass and now he blows my mind. Im 18 years old and have been playing for 10 years but still haven't been able to progress like he did
Was eating pizza while watching this. Pizza with mayonaise. MUST TRY BAKED BEANS.
Also, anyone who takes their scratchplate off their lae paul, they clearly don't need their toes or ears either, so we'll just pull those off ^^
Capt10. Your guitar playing is getting better and better with every new video. Chappers' is more my style of playing but gotta love those tasty tasty blues leads :)
LEE! when are you gonna teach us that chord thing you always do at 9:10???!?!?
I've left several comments about it in your instruction vids and they all got upvotes and agree comments. The people have voted, and the want to learn how to play the Captain Riff!
C'mon Lee!
+Event Horizon Productions
1. Bar the 5th fret on D, G and B strings with your index finger and strum them.
2. Hammer-on the G string to 6th fret with your middle finger.
3. Bar the 7th fret of D, G and B strings with your ring finger.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
5. Put your middle finger on G string 7th fret and index finger on B string 6th fret and slide them up two frets (so G is on 9th fret and B is on 8th fret)
Capt. gets better with every video
For those of you non-English speaking folks, the "scratch plate" he refers to is called a Pickguard.... Oh and before I watch, I LOVE my 50s T goldtop. Not being a wealthy guy, it's what I could afford and I don't regret buying it one bit. I think Gibson did a great job bringing its legendary quality to guys like myself, on a budget. Oh and pro-pickguard here. Just doesn't look les pauly without it.....
I really hate that Yousician commercial.
it's so cringey. "yousician is the best way to learn guitar..." no it fucking isn't I don't need to hear this any more
Jamie MacMillan
You gotta' type it in ALL OF TEH CAPITALS! because the volume on that commercial is psychotically loud.
Tiny J good point
Gibson Les Paul + Marshall Amp = Rock n Roll heaven.
So good to see the Captain playing Lead this time...
Those are some tasty ass licks from Capt. too
You should do on a short Video the LP studio faded and the Mini HB SG!!!
Jetzt habe ich auch eine! (60's Tribute HB) ... ❤️ i Love it so fu.... much!
These both sound fantastic especially with those Marshall amps.
As far as pickguards/scratchates go, it depends on the guitar. Some Les Pauls look great without one, some look odd without one. I think it depends on it's color, binding or no binding & is it a carved top or a flat top Les Paul.
And it is the end of the serie!!! Wooohoooo looking forward to the firebird And SG clip. C'mon guys!!!
so happy to finally have a p90 les paul on here! the closest we've got is double cuts and juniors!
I'm for the pick guard (scratch plates are fitted to Tele and Strat types). My right hand moves all over, but at times I steady it with the little finger on the surface - as did Gary Moore, amongst others. On flat tops like Strats, this is fine, but on arched/carved tops the strings are typically further from the surface, and the pick guard fills the gap. I agree they sometimes spoil the looks, but function beats form, always.
That first Paul that The Monkey Lord holds in his strong beefy hands is pretty farking gorgeous. In part due to its scratch plate...
I have the 50s model and I love it so much! :D Such a great guitar ^^
Marshall + Gibson = ROCK!
I'm with the no scratch plate team🤘😃🤘. Love you guys, keep,up the good work
Maybe I don't fee so bad for hanging on to my 2015 standard now. Also, I think this is the best video of you both playing great together.
You guys are great! I love these videos. I'm team scratchplate (although, I am a Fender guy AND an American so we call those Pickguards)
I enjoy seeing Captain play in these new videos!
Absolutely on the non-scratchplate team. I've owned a few LPs and never keep the scratchplate!
omg, best intro play ever... capt you're the best
I like Rob's choices on this video! I like the 50s tone best. And I love the HP neck (tried it).
Just bought one. Didn't know the plate comes off, yayyyy :)
P 90 pickups are quite good
Great Job gentlemen. Can you add any commentary on the neck profiles? I am trying to find the holy grail 59 rounded profile, and pay in 1959 $. My wife overheard me watching one of your reviews and commented, "do you really take advice from these guys?". In fact, I find your reviews to be top notch. Now back to your full out assault concerning the scratch plate issues! ill be Switzerland.
for years you have been getting wrong guys. those guitars do have nitro finishes. they are non grain filled lower sheen nitro and are @ 1.5 mil thick as apposed to 6 or 7 mil on the gloss guitars.. all gibsons are finished in nitro lacquer ...
Pro-scratch plate, or "Pickguard" as we say here in the US.
LP STUDIO FADED!!
I'm behind Lee on this one. Pro scratch plate.
I prefer no scratch plate for looks, but I like the plate to be there when playing for my little finger to rest on.
That vintage burst is beautiful!
Damn, is it just me or has Lee's playing gotten a lot better compared to some of the older videos? Not to say that it was terrible before but that opening jam was pretty nice.
do the firebird PLEAASSEEE
The guitar looks so much better without a scratch plate, you cant beat it
PRO Pickgaurd. Big time. Give me a nice cream pickgaurd and zero pinch harmonics all day long;-) Side note to Rob: Challenge to do and entire video with no pinch harmonics at all. Can you do it;-)
Captain has developed enormously playing skills
Baseball bat neck ,🤔 who wants that these days ,love the sound that this guitar makes but again the chunky
Neck
