Gibson LP Faded 50's & 60's | Review and Honest Thoughts

[@jameswright6059]

By the way Clapton got the woman tone by setting the tone on the neck PAF to the sweet spot between 0 to 1 and set the volume to between maximum or 9. Sometimes he would use both pickups together with the same settings and would turn up the bridge PAF tone slightly higher (approx 3 or 4). Unfortunately for those of us unable to afford a 60 yr old Gibson achieving an authentic woman tone is far easier with genuine 50s wiring & vintage PAFs.

I actually just heard that somewhere and I was wondering if I said the wrong thing in any of my videos 🤣 Thanks! It sounds amazing!

[@williammazzotta5595]

I am so tempted to get one! Love the 60's faded and each one the way the color fades is so unique on each top!

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

60's is my personal choice but it was really close. If you're a LP fan, you won't regret either of these... They feel like REAL LPs with some serious tone and playability.

[@gabricr76]

Just bought a 60s faded. One of the best LP of the last 20 years

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

100% agree. Phenomenal instrument

[@Badhabitches]

Same. Just got the vintage cherry. Great guitar. It makes me want to play more often which is a sign of a great guitar

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@Badhabitches Agreed!

[@tedjohnson5210]

Looking at buying the 60’s for my first Gibson, they look pretty awesome.

[@SarcasticComments23]

Much prefer these over the gloss standards 👍🏼

[@tomschlaerth8547]

Just got the 60s faded. Love it. Mine is heavy 9.14 lbs. sounds killer.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Such a badassguitar. I’m so impressed and satisfied. Mine is 9.8 lbs hehehehe 😜

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@Kevin Wittwer 100% Agree!!!

[@bengordon7635]

Mee too !! coming Friday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wb9271]

Great video! This helped me pick which one to go with. The faded will save you hundreds over buying the standard. You really can’t believe how different than neck feels with the 60s slim taper. I tried both and the thinner neck just felt awesome for me personally. The pick ups in the 60s faded are definitely hotter than the 50s and much crunchier. This is a great guitar for the price point!

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Are you going with the 60s?

[@joshelmore9089]

I just received my 60’s the other day and it plays so well! Only thing I noticed was my case is black and doesn’t include a pick guard, which the color doesn’t bother me. Wish it included a pick guard as well though!

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

I’m sure you can order one easily! I’m not a fan of pickfuards so it all worked for me. Super glad you like it! It plays fantastic!!!

[@VintageRadius]

Man I’ve been sleeping on the new Gibsons! Just seeing this faded series and really want to get my hands on a few to play through. From your audio clips the 50’s has the sound for me. More open, clear and dynamic but not lacking at all in the low and mids. Makes sense with lower output Burstbuckers. Bridge 50’s driven was THAT sound! All the gain you need right there. 60’s sounded good too, more for hard rock IMO

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Absolutely killer guitars man… glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your comment!

[@philc4520]

Beautiful guitars

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

LOVE them

[@Deuce_Dufresne]

I got a nicely flamed 50s faded that weighs only 8.4 pounds.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Beautiful!!!

[@crunchchannel8788]

I have a LP Standard Slash and a Trad. In the Slash one the knobs are elevated, not in the Trad. I never though of that as a "feature" but more like that is how they set the knobs at factory.
Is that a feature? like to be expected from 50s standard but not from other ones? or is it that the pots are longer?

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Not sure if it is a feature or not! Sorry. I bet both guitars kick ass!

[@TwistSmash]

I bought the 60's and love it except the binding is a little uncomfortable and feels like it needs sanded down on the edges its a little sharp

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Same!

[@VintageRadius]

By the way, appreciate if you could share what amp or modeler etc? Thx!

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Good question! I believe at the time I was using Mesa BoogieSuite by Neural DSP!

[@risahu1]

Great video, do you know if the guitars were Plek'd ? Thank you

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Thanks for the question. I do not know if they were or not. Sorry!

[@chriscalvert4625]

According to Gibsons website, they are plek’d

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@chriscalvert4625 There you have it!

[@larrywatters688]

The new Standards are Plek'd.. I believe I read somewhere the Studios are as well..

[@RubenStuveling]

@@larrywatters688 All Gibsons are PLEK'd these days, right?

[@cwbdbo]

just curious.... kind of did they send it to you to review and send back? or they gave them to you?

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

[@sixslinger9951]

they aren't giving them to him

Just picked up a minor blemish 1 for $2100 coming Friday ,,,, putting pickup covers on mine .. seems these faded have much better flame tops hmmmm!!!!!!!! update .. these are the best les pauls made in a very long time mine is 8,10lbs ,, incredible guitar you can shave the binding to a better feel seeing there is very little clear coat ,, yes heavy neck and light body .. also I removed the grommets and installed i piece bridge posts like a real ABR-1 ,, the Epi abr-1 inserts will screw directly into the body . the perfect Paul

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Which one? 50s or 60s?

[@bengordon7635]

60s @@JorgeSalasGuitar

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@bengordon7635 Howdo you like it? I prefer it over the 50s!

[@bengordon7635]

will let you know Friday , The only fat neck I have is the Custom core heritage so i will compare them , i love the fat neck tone but small hands , the heritage is a true 59 neck @@JorgeSalasGuitar

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

The 59 neck is great. Have a few myself. The slim neck with porous wood is amazing on the 60s! @@bengordon7635

[@stompboss]

Do these come with the pickguard? I’ve seen some that do and some that don’t??

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

It comes as an attachment. I choose not to use it though

[@rjake61]

You’ll end up changing the Gibson Deluxe tuners by Ping after a few string changes. They’ll get sloppy and loose.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Maybe!

[@gabricr76]

Just upgraded mine with grover locking tuners, a lot better

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@gabricr76 I might do that now...
