Wow, I think its the first time I haven't seen you drop your pants and take a steaming dump on a Gibson. (As a big Gibson fan, I always find it funny!!)
Why do I keep watching? Because more often than not, there’s a brilliant tip like using a cloth when you stick a screwdriver in the bridge post!!! Why didn’t I think of that? Because I’m not Dave!😁👍👍 Sending love from Paradise, Ca. ❤️
What are you,talking about? That bridge does not work well. You cannot adjust intonation on each string and you cannot set individual string height. That guitar and bridge combo does not play in tune over the majority of the neck either. You kinda have to tune it for where you think you’re going to be playing the most and hope for the best. That bridge sucks. These guitars are notorious for tuning problems.
@@w13rdguy Wishful thinking and imagination. It’s impossible for that bridge to be dead on. It just doesn’t work that way. It’s mechanically and musically impossible for that bridge to work correctly. It’s the very reason Gibson switched to the Tuneomatic bridge. That one is better. You can adjust individual intonation. You can get string height right on the two outermost strings. The ones in the middle, not so much. Not unless you get a luthier to custom cut the bridge saddles for individual string height. Dave has done several videos on the weaknesses of the original Les Paul wraparound bridge. He’s the very luthier I learned about all the weaknesses from in the first place. He even pointed out all the reason guys like you have such vivid imagination and wishful thinking. It’s simple. Brand loyalty is one of those reasons. People still think Gibson is a superior guitar brand just because they are American made. It has to be quality because all the good stuff is made in America, right? While a lot of good products are made in America, Gibson ain’t one of them and they haven’t been for a long time. Charging $3800 for a guitar with such an abysmal bridge, rough pickup routing cuts, unshielded control cavities, loose hardware, and sharp fret ends ought to be a crime! Maybe your Epiphone had better build quality than a Gibson. If it did, I wouldn’t be surprised. The factory where those guitars are made in South Korea does a pretty good job, considering they ghost build guitars for many other brands. But I don’t care what you say! That bridge is trash! None of them never worked well. As soon as they were able to, Gibson went with something better.
@@w13rdguy ,,i got the EPI LP special version and mine is just as you say and mine has no blemish or any flaws that i could find,,and the intonation is pretty much spot on and it has became my number 1 go to guitar,,,and i have a gibson lp and a prs and a few others but that epi has a magical tone and i like the 1955 chunky neck,,,both the gibson and EPI's are 1955 reissues
I bought this same model in Epiphone absolutely no issues. Great sounding guitar . Got a set up as I do with all new guitars. Replaced the “bone nut” with a graph tech . Those P90s sound good.
I got a gibson sg 200 and had a broke truss rod and had to iron off the fret board and re-fret it to put a new one in, and to get it to sound and play good, talk about a job, filing a bone nut etc, it came as a husk cheap, 'it was a rescue" Lol.. yet others complain about their stupidity "none learning of how to string a guitar" let alone prob anything else, yet got the $$$ to buy a new Gibson " the blues will never be played on this" properly I bet..Lol... Learning to do the work and how it's made and different quality of parts used, is the fun also, For me anyway, love stuff like this ;) to the valve, and brands used vs Today's and vintage, working on Tube amps and re-coning speakers, I used to take tube amps from record players and make a Guitar amp, I still have one with 2 6v6's with a philco speaker and building Cab's etc...everything together when it comes together is Magic ... ''come together'' by the Beatles is stuck in my head now, for its meaning is to have Purpose... I guess i'll keep on Rambling on..Led zeppelin..Lol..but yeah... I'll show myself out ..thanks for these uploads and your gathered knowledge :)
P90s are great, but DiMarzio p90s are better. I speak from experience, and those diMarzios turned my '68 Les Paul into a killer. Not I wanted to kill many people (OK, one or two), but the clean sound was firmer and the full-vol sound gave me the grumph I needed for power chords, using NO distortion pedals, into my Marshall 50W valve combo. No, not tubes. Valves.
That’s my number 1 not for noodling practice licks I use a LP copy but I got a TV yellow special blem that I can’t find a blem anywhere. And it’s my favorite guitar I own. I love that slab of wood.
G'dammit! That nut looks cut so differently than the one I got in store (mine is the SG Special, so it's a lot like the SG version of that Les Paul). The nut in the video has slots way more filed down and wider than the strings. Looks much better than the situation I got here. I'm not confident enough to do the filing on my own though :/. And that intonation! I'm so jealous now :O
Wives, to find a guitar friendly lady is something. Mine loved the guitar and the bands we saw, but then kids arrived and I’m at gigs on my lonesome. Kids now mature and she’s into it again. So life’s sweet.
Good ole P90 hum. I never use the Gibson locking trick. I use 2 winds max for the low E& A, 3 for the D, 4 -5 on the G to Hi E. The trick is the first loop goes over the string and the remaining go under and stacked neatly, no overlap, no gaps. I've had 6 Les Pauls since 2005 - 2006, 2 Epi Elitists which got me started on LPs and how to set them up, then a 2010 Trad plus Gibson USA, then 3 Gibson CS (R7, R8,& R0) and a 2019 LP Trib DC Jr. Still have the R7 and DC Jr in my collection. Be nice to have Dave's power winder but I'm guessing only owning 4 guitars compared to running a Guitar Shop he needs it a heck of a lot more😆
I have a Hamer Special with p-90s, same color... TV blonde, or is it BSG?( baby s**t green), or???????? Anyway, I think a tortoise pickguard would look better. As always, another great setup. Thanks for revisiting the string-locking-winding-ONE tuner length guideline. It's been my preferred method for decades. Rock on
Late to the party, Dave, but had a question for you: what grade of Mitchell's abrasive cord do you use for sanding down a pesky tuner? Always learning something new on your channel. Thanks, Dave!
Dave is that wrap around any good? What is it.. It looks slightly compensated but not sure from here.. Im wondering coz my pro pick and the lee quan badarse on my bridge. Dont say oem gibson..lol.
Dave! I heard that if the guitar is buzzing unplugged and if the buzz is not going through the amp it’s kinda ok.. Is that true? Thank you for all your videos, I learn a lot!
these are great guitars! gibson and epiphone came back out with these last year. epi was 400 gibson 1400. i played them both, went with the epi. plays and sounds great. neck too strait yes but not buzz on an fret. so i kinda left neck as is. when you get no buz with low action even t
Interesting to see a 'new' Les Paul Special with a wrap-tail bridge (My 2010 Gibson LP special has the standard bridge/stop tail setup) but also to see an old wrap-tail with no 'lightning bar'.. wonder if it's a 50's re-issue?
ever done a "the paul"? i have one and i've followed the "general guidelines" and it plays real nice, thank you...but i think it needs a refret...they're pretty flat and i'm not sure there's enough meat on them to just crown....i could send a pic or two....btw it's a 79
Wish it was a DC, with that tv yellow..........great video again Dave! You always talk about your song writing ✍️ Dave, how bout a sample once in a while?
I had a Gibson Double Cut LP Special with P-90’s. But it has a stop bar and tune o matic bridge. 👌🏻 Thanks Dave for another informative and entertaining video.
Dave, I worked for a " real" gunsmith for many years and we would get multi thousand dollar shotguns that would come in the shop with screws bugged up just like ones on the Les Paul.He would have the same comment except it was a " f**king butter knife !!
Not really a fan of Les Paul guitars, and yellow is probably my least favorite colors, yet these and the tv yellow double cutaway Jr's are so cool to me. Cherry too.
Gibson keeps its resale if u ever need $$$ tho often gaining, Epi is great for gigs or to learn on and mod, and the one that will be with you in the end, when times are ruff n having to sell the gibby, you'll miss her but…like a Mutt that love's you and you cant get rid of and when noone else cares ...its just epi and you against the world... then you see another Gibby again, shes cheap enough ... and the epi is like aw crap here we go again wanting to cheat on me, well i'll be there waiting, you'll come around, you'll miss me.......I was there last time and will be waiting, you can't get rid of me, I'm not worth much..and do you really want too :(... I know Gibby looks and sounds good.. I hear you 2 talking and the love you 2 have... Fender is backing me up here, yeah go ahead throw some distortion on me, take it out on me, treat Me Ruff! ..abuse me, but love me :)
Lots of unnecessary slagging towards Gibson going on below. Dave brought it back to good playing with some fairly basic adjustments where a previous adjustment messed with the bridge. The tuner with the burr isn't made by Gibson and not something that would be apparent in the factory. I would be critical if there was a problem but that seems like a nice guitar.
Is this a NEW Gibson or a Gibson with a new pickguard? I ask because it seems like it needed more care than a new(ish) Gibson guitar...or just bad Gibson quality.
Bad Gibson owner. Lower the bridge too much and it's going to buzz no matter how well built it is. Wind strings like a moron and your going to gouge them up.
The kinking string at the post is from wrapping it around the hole edges. When the edges are too sharp it will break strings. I had to file a couple of them before. Bad design imo. You could have smaller holes high up and wrap the string underneath, on the round post.
@@samstinkeringaround8961 no he doesn’t. David has explained it a bazillion times how PayPal works. Every time I bought something from Dave he emails me for my address. If you tell PayPal you’re purchasing something, Dave gets your address and he loses a bunch of money. If you just send him money through PayPal he doesn’t get your address and you will get an email from him. I got a sticker, a Penny Black CD and had no problems. Check your junk email folder - his email may have gone there.
Or you can buy a feeler guage and a capo! I learned the process from Dave here and it works pretty good. I prefer .010 relief... Guidelines, not rules!
I got a demo LP Special in mahogany with P90s. Paid 800 bucks. One small scratch near the switch. The body is soft and will scratch easy but who cares. It plays like a dream. No problems with intonation. I guess the bridge post holes and staggered saddles are just right. There are set screws in the bridge that you can adjust that push against the posts if you are a little sharp and you could file the bridge post slots if your a little flat but mine was perfect right out of the box. Love those P90s.
@@DavesWorldofFunStuff On this guitar, yes. That is more or less good luck when it comes to a wrap around bridge. I’m just speaking generally. I am not knocking the quality of your work man.
with the p90 pickups they have a great unique sound. im a les paul player and i love the humbuckers but this guitar has a great sound for single coil. strats be damned dont compare in any way except they are pine tree guitars
It’s 2021. Gibson refuses to make a guitar that intonates properly, with virtually non adjustable string height, while charging a premium for it and calling it “vintage”. I call it overpriced garbage. This was ok for 1955 because this system was new and nobody had anything better. But here it is, 65 plus years later and they’re still making this? If I’m looking at Gibson’s website correctly, that’s a $3800 guitar! That guitar isn’t worth that much money. I’ve owned two Gibson’s in my life. They were not worth what I paid for them. Never again.
The posts can be an alloy of steel with chrome, vanadium, or nickel, corrosion resistant like mechanic’s hand tools. Sometimes they’re a brass alloy. Plated plain steel posts, I’ve only seen a few on very cheap guitars back in the 60’s but did you see them recently?
@@Riverdeepnwide I've always understood them to have triple chrome plating. Gibson used to use nickle-silver alloys in the 60s, but they now use chrome plating. Chrome, short for chromium, refers to the plating. Chrome plating is overlaid on a metal core. It consists completely of chromium and is not an alloy. Removing the chrome exposes the metals underneath to oxidisation.

After several hundred of these videos, I feel like I know more about guitar setups and repair than anyone else who does not play or even own a guitar.

Ya had me at Gibson. Again.
for Jeff Healy, that is the playing position ... love the channel, the content, and especially the commentary !!!

I have one of these guitars. It’s great, though he pickups didn’t blow me away. I fixed that with a set of Lollars.
Question. How's the hum with the Lollars?
Am I mistaken but haven't you always in the past done two tuners length on strings Dave?
depends on the style of tuner
A tip for a gibson to better stay in tune is to whine the g string the opposit way. First under than over, but only the g string
How you tangled your Ernie balls in your G-string is probably a whole other video 🤔..if G-string too tight the pitch becomes sharp..raised..
I had one of these. I just couldn't bond with it. Also, the finish on mine was so soft that it would scratch and ding from just fingernails. Sold it.
Not really a fan of Les Paul guitars, and yellow is probably my least favorite colors, yet these and the tv yellow double cutaway Jr's are so cool to me. Cherry too.

New Gibson with Sh*t Quality Control? I'm shocked! I hope Marc Agnassi watches these... LOL
Wow needs some lemon oil I bet
Make sure you check intonation in the playing position. 😂🤣🤪 Get scientific David. Some of us will like it.
what if playing position is in bed like Hendrix till he fell asleep
Don't matter boys. All the same.
@@DavesWorldofFunStuff didn’t James Jameson also do that? Play lying in bed in the dark.
Would shielding help with those noisie pups? That's why I don't like p90's.
That's no Les Paul!
It doesn't have a headstock fracture!
My 2003 Special has a neck repair. Bought it that way. Thing sounds like a million bucks. Love it.
@@ferox965 Now that there is a certified Gibson Les Paul.
@@williardbillmore5713 It sounds great. My 2001 Standard doesn't have a neck break and is even better. Between these two, all my needs are covered.
I play the pants off some tone clusters
Gibson quality control is just tip top, isn't it.
with the p90 pickups they have a great unique sound. im a les paul player and i love the humbuckers but this guitar has a great sound for single coil. strats be damned dont compare in any way except they are pine tree guitars
09:35 Your wife rang?
It’s 2021. Gibson refuses to make a guitar that intonates properly, with virtually non adjustable string height, while charging a premium for it and calling it “vintage”. I call it overpriced garbage. This was ok for 1955 because this system was new and nobody had anything better. But here it is, 65 plus years later and they’re still making this? If I’m looking at Gibson’s website correctly, that’s a $3800 guitar! That guitar isn’t worth that much money. I’ve owned two Gibson’s in my life. They were not worth what I paid for them. Never again.
nobody had any better? the strat came out in 1954 and the tele in1951
All three of my les pauls are freakin great guitars. L. P.custom L.p studio L.p melody maker. You know how to use them , or you don't.
Removing chrome plating on tuner = rusty in a year.
The posts can be an alloy of steel with chrome, vanadium, or nickel, corrosion resistant like mechanic’s hand tools. Sometimes they’re a brass alloy. Plated plain steel posts, I’ve only seen a few on very cheap guitars back in the 60’s but did you see them recently?
@@Riverdeepnwide I've always understood them to have triple chrome plating. Gibson used to use nickle-silver alloys in the 60s, but they now use chrome plating. Chrome, short for chromium, refers to the plating. Chrome plating is overlaid on a metal core. It consists completely of chromium and is not an alloy. Removing the chrome exposes the metals underneath to oxidisation.
