big thanks to Gibson for helping make this historic shootout possible! more to come... check out their full lineup here: www.gibson.com/Custom-Shop
Hey marty Im very thankful for all of the lessons that you taught and I was just wondering if you can make a lesson on how to play American dream by casting crowns it will make me so happy, If you see this comment I just wanna say thank you so much for everything and merry Christmas
I feel like the warm and fuzzy tone of the 56 Les Paul is testimonial to how unique, durable, and relevant they are to guitar playing history. Both sounded amazing man, great job on doing justice to both!
man you just can't win against these vintage rigs- now 99.999% of the praise for vintage guitars is how "open" and bright they are on the top end- now i guess when we see a new guitar with a clearer top end compared to its vintage brother, we go ahead and praise the warmth of the vintage pups- now that is why the vintage axe is better.
It looks to me like the 56 is about a 16th of an inch shorter. Also the tone of the 2019 is about a half cent flat. Furthermore, the third dot on the 56 is just about less than a 16th of center compared to the 2019 which of course changes the tone of the two guitars completely. I also noticed that you were holding the 56 much closer to your denim jacket than 2109 and we all know what denim proximity does to the tonal quality of any instrument. And don't get me started on what tie dyed T-shirts do to string tension. Other than that, no, I hear no difference at all.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. 😂🤘
you forgot the secret to my great tone.... it's my hat dude.
Marty Music Hahah Of Course. 👊👍✌️
Nice one mate!😀
Completely missing the warmth of the original.
I'm glad I found your channel. I started playing guitar when i was young and spoiled myself by playing bass for a band all the way until i was 21. Now switching back to guitar I'm glad i found this channel to help me relearn
I have a 1955 Les Paul Special. It’s been refinished but was originally TV yellow. Electronics are all original and still is my primary “clean” guitar. Glad to see this kind of guitar getting some love.
pumped to be able to do this. More historical shootouts to come
Great video Marty! But thos p90's where just begging for some overdrive.
I'm ALL goisebumpy now..
Suggestions box says,
" Krazy lil Thing Called Love".
With ALL the piano parts, always my favorite appetizers of your lessons ! Thank you .
Sound identical
Nice going Marty! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays :)
Oh my goodness, that was awesome thanks fellas, Marty you rock !!!!!!
I wouldn't kick either out of bed. lol. The 2019 sounds better to my ears, but that might even be pickup height. Both sound incredible!
Almost all of these vintage/modern shoot outs have a noticeable, if subtle, difference. This one is insanely close, they sound very similar.
So I was on another tab during the intro and thought he was playing the 2019 model the entire time
I listened thru Hafler recording studio monitors, and they both sounded identical to me. Marty's playing was awesome as usual. They are both very cool and I love guitars and gear vintage and new, but neither one is worth what they would cost to purchase if I had all of the money in the world. $4,000 for a CS... Thanks Marty
Loving them both!
Hey Marty, would really appreciate if you did some videos on exercises for getting better at guitar! Nice video, as always
The 2019 sounds cleaner to me but I'll take both
As a Chattanooga resident, thank you for showing the city some love
Happy Holiday Marty
You tore it up Marty !!!
Well, the bottom line for me is if I could play guitar like Marty, it wouldn't matter what guitar I was playing! However, that vintage 1956 Gibson sounds awesome. Happy Holidays Marty........... 👍👍🎸🎸
Great les Paul special guitar shootout!
The 2019 appears to not have the bridge aligned perfectly as the high E string looks to be much closer to the edge of the fret board than does the vintage guitar.
Thanks Marty
Excellent!! I prefer the vintage one but both great. I have never owned the guitar which is mounted P90. I wanna get it someday.
Both are legendary
I've had 55 and 57 gibson Jr. originals , plus all kinds of les paul standard's through the yrs. Presently own 2014 Gibson lemonburst r9, best sounding les paul I ever owned, but definitely over priced.I think the 56 has a little warmer bite to it. Both very nice guitars Marty.
Great. Although I had to chuckle when you played that Reggae. The guy almost looked like 'Oh no, don't!!' ;-)
5:53 I love the head banging :D
I have an epiphone custom shop LP Junior 1957 reissue into yellow. I changed the p100 out for a SD P90.... picked it up for $300, pickup and wiring upgrade $150. I bet it's almost as good as that $3,800.00 Gibson
Nope.
Imo the SD p90s too midrangey
Both good Marty.
Happy Holidays and thanks so much for this channel. Could you do a lesson on National Anthem by The Gaslight Anthem?? Thanks again Marty!

Next on Marty Music, we visit the Vintage Beards Museum. Thanks Marty, please do a few "advanced" guitar lessons. 2019 was a great year for your channel.
The original Les Paul Juniors and Specials were inexpensive production line guitars that are sought after for their exceptional attention to detail. Unfortunately now you have to pay 3X more than regular production line models for a Custom Shop model for that same build quality. It's a farce that the regular USA line guitars aren't built this way.
Great video kinda helps me to make my choice even know the 50.s vintage les paul special are over 10 grand I think I would pick the 2019 les paul special sounds just as good without the breaking the bank 🏦
How about a review on old and new strats looking to buy a strat very soon
James Everitts Try some American Professional Strats out, I have a black one with single coils and it’s really good, I have modded it a bit though, not that it needed it, just for preference
Put Motor City Pickups' MOTOR P-90s in one of em, and that's what you'll choose!
My favourite guitars
Great reissue! But there’s a very obvious difference with dried out wood. Also the alnico used in those years was of better quality. Certain things you just can’t duplicate...
Hey Marty, could you please do some Blur tutorials?
Graham Coxon is in my opinion one of the most underrated guitarists playing today.
Merry Christmas mate!
🇬🇧😎🎸🎶🎵
The 56 was a bit too chunky for me. The Custom has so much bite, punchy, but also really liked the Marley vibes with the mid position I ordered the the 1500 one though, I want to be able to treat that thing how it sounds lol.
Doctors and lawyers are doing a great job of keeping these Custom Shops in high cotton!! My Epi TV Yellow Les Paul Special with Seymour Duncans looks and sounds exactly like these. Same set neck and all mahogany body and neck with rosewood fretboard. If you get great quality with these, hmmm what am I getting with mine (less resale value and a WHOLE lot more guitar for my money).
Nope.
I've thought about getting one,but it's just the wrap around bridge I can't do. I don't know if it's for me.
It might be my speakers, but from over here I couldn't really tell them apart..
Can you make a lesson of AC/DC rock n roll train
Most instruments sound identical on my system. Which is why I watch for interest and to hear my favourite UA-camrs play. Maybe I can put together a better sound system - although we're limited to the quality YT throws at us. I prefer the richer finish of the '56.
The 2019 sounds just slightly better 👍 … but of course I would take the 56 if I could go home with it 🤩
Love ‘em both
Hey marty
hi Marty can you do a lesson on 70 x 7 by Mateus asato
4:20 "the wand chooses the wizard Harry"
Do a lesson of either uncle toms cabin by warrant or cemetery gates by pantera
There's just something about retro guitars.
Ya, it's called nostalgia. "Just something, yet can't pinpoint anything" = classic nostalgia
@@67foxcharlie and why do you think that is?
@@riso9059 cuz old boomers have too much time and money on their hands.
Marty. Can you teach me to play the regulator by clutch!?
Hey Marty big fan just wondering if you could give a lesson on sweet child o mine
Which one motivated you?
The ‘56 looks so good from my side of the screen
Everything is Awesome about that custom shop accept the price. I mean come on you reissue a cheap student guitar for $4,000. Not many students will be playing these again. Actually this scam from Fender and Gibson is fairly recent. In the eighties these were about 250 bucks used. 90s they were a little bit more but not much. In the 2000s Gibson started raising their prices. And Fender said were an iconic guitar also we should raise our prices. And now we are told the only real deal fenders and Gibson's come out of the custom shops. Custom shops are BS just a scam. I'm old enough to remember when there wasn't a custom shop. There's no electric guitar on the planet worth $4,000 let alone 6 to 7 thousand.
I agree 💯
So the guitars out of the custom shops are the real deal guitars. So what are the production line guitars just knock-offs. If you're not going to buy a custom shop you may as well go off brand.
My heroes back in the day didn't play custom shops, they played off the shelf regular LP Standards and USA Strats. Now we're kinda conditioned to think that Les Paul Standards are low rent and that USA Strats are mid range. I'm not falling for it. Once the boomers pass over who will even be buying Standards let alone Custom Shop reissues?
If you gave me $5,000 to build a Telecaster I don't think I could spend all the money. Lol unless I use solid 14-karat gold.
Great video Marty could you do heart of life by John mayer
👋
I really want to see a comparison with the LP special custom shop reissue and the standard non custom shop Gibson LP special, which is less than half the price. Gibson states the custom shop model has extra attention to detail, but does not specify what those details are. Why would someone pay extra thousands without knowing what that extra money is getting them?
Do a lesson on Goodbye Blue Sky - Pink Floyd
It’s funny, I just got a 2010 Epiphone TV yellow Les Paul special that was upgraded with Seymour Duncan vintage P90 pickups and mojotone mustard .022 caps + tonepro bridge and tailpiece and I’d love to put mine up against these multi thousand dollar guitars to see the difference if there is any😂😂. Snob appeal goes a long way in this guitar business I have found😉
If you ever need to sell your Gibson will get your money back, a modded Epiphone, nothing.
@@jayartz8562 True. Modded guitars in general always lose significant value generally regardless of the mod. Pickups, bridge, caps, nut and tuners pretty much make the guitar.
@@jayartz8562 By the way, I have a couple of Gibsons and they have both gone up in value since I purchased them so there is much truth in what you say.
From listening to it only through my speakers I'd say I wouldn't be able to tell a difference.
My bank account sure can!
The '56 had a slightly warmer tone....not noticed till the last minute of the comparison
Looks like the vintage is a little harder to play because of the frets.
Plz do hey by the pixies
with some people it doesn't matter, what they play...
PLEASE DO PANAMA BY VAN HALEN!!
Funny how when a vintage is brighter it's got more clairity and definition than the new one, and when the new one is brighter the vintage one is much warmer and smooth. Guitars sound different, good and bad, new and old. Get one you like and play it.
Please Marty do Syd barrett's any lesson please I'm so depressed please dont ignore me😯😍😁😁
may just be me, but I preferred the tone of the 56

Poor David looked bored out of his skull.
MARTY LOVE YOUR channel can you some Green day? I would love that!
hi man
"Every year they get a little closer". Why not do it right the first time! not a fan!. How many thousands for a slab of mahogany and p 90's?. The historic line is a joke. I'll take the Japanese knock offs any day at 1/4 the price. Harness upgrade sometimes needed but you're there sonically and build wise.
Marty please do a gibson les paul standard giveaway and don't forget to include me , I'm an intermediate player wanting to upgrade to electric Guitar from acoustic guitar and just don't forget to include mee
You had some sweet Reggae sounds going on there. How about a Bob Market tribute lesson?
Early again!!
Could you please show us how to play the solo in "In My Defense" by Freddie Mercury
Hi marty please can you do a tutorial on shot down in flames by AC/DC
PLEASE do a tutorial on ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl?’ by JET.
Can you plz do Master of puppets by metallica
That MAY be in my near future...
K thks
Sorry, the modern Gibson didn't get there. Explaining that away as "every guitar has its own personality" didn't work. You can buy a REAL 50's LP Special for almost the same price as a Custom Shop wanna be these days.
