I don't think there is so much of a difference with the real one. Tom Murphy knows his shit that's for damm sure. Thank you Captain for make people's life better. by the way , my SG Special P90's Is from Andertons. first went to Dublin and now is happiliy still with yours truly in Spain.
I am blessed to have purchased the 59 light aged Les Paul and it’s glorious. I’m 61 with a birth date of 1959 so this is special to me for many reasons.
The Neck Pickup on a proper good Les Paul is so great! It doesn't get enough appreciation, imo. Beautiful sounds. That's what makes a Les Paul an amazing guitar.
Lee has come on so much as a player over the last few years,, he truly has a knack of choosing just the right notes and phrases and is a killer player now. Pete is fab obviously too, but Lee just seems to under play just the right amount to sound perfect✌🏻🤘🏻
I have a murphy lab 60 and it is insane ..My wife bought me the ultra heavy , it looks incredible , ...The sound and the FEEL is second to none ...Great Job Gibson !!!!!!!
This video convinced me to buy a 2022 Murphy Lab '59 Reissue. It cost a fortune, but I don't regret it for a second. Every inch of it is stunning, the sound is amazing, and it plays like nothing I have played before.
@@markola I've found even playing it acoustically while sitting on the couch sounds amazing. I don't know why, but just how it resonates is unlike anything I've heard
@Hublot Whore334 no doubt his willingness to just absorb and expand on still pay tribute even with his my idea is out ahead of my fingers style, gives it tension that I don't think anyone came close to. Still..if you asked him back then..I think maybe Peter Green's name might of come up..Of course he sang as well. I saw him touring the 2 album in early 70. I went to see him really but I walked out blown away by John Paul Jones and Bonham. BTW he liked his tele..
It takes incredible skills to write music and the riffs of Jimmy Page. The same riffs that almost all of us can relate to and love. Other guitarists can be technically better, but do we remember them or like them even in the same ballpark? That's the whole key, a song we can all relate too.
Uncontrollable feedback from Captain in the intro. These pickups are finally close to the real thing.... I played a 1960 at Gruhns and it howled and screamed. The original PAF weren’t wax potted. So they actually react very similarly
I love Custombuckers, but this confirmed my fears… uncontrollable feedback is kind of a deal breaker for playing loud and live. But at home with normal volumes… you can’t beat that tone.
I may be alone with this choice. But my favorite Burst player is Gary Rossington from Lynyrd Skynyrd. There were better players but I loved his tone, riffs and licks. Glad I got to see him play live. It was a true treat
These look and sound fabulous! How do they fare, tone wise, against regular Custom Shop VOS models? Has there been something done, besides the aging, to make them more resonant, have better sustain etc? Are the pickups the same Custom Buckers or have they been specially hand-wound by some maestro? In other words, is there anything besides the aging that makes these guitars worth the premium over standard Custom Shop ones?
You can basically sum up the takeaway from every Gibson video done during the last three years as: Absolutely breathtaking tone and playability, absolutely stunning looks - and absolutely bonkers pricing. The Gibson Trifecta. Very nice video, thanks guys.
I love custombuckers but they have a run away frequency somewhere in the upper frequencies and it's not because they are unpotted . I hear in the pre 2019 potted ones as . I have seen quite a few people say the same thing about the CBs
If you asked Jimmy P or Gary M back then I think they would say yeah I'am no Peter Green. He was one of those just rare cats that just was inside the music shining lights in ways you never heard before, plus he sang..When you go back and watch him there was such an ease and genius about his playing and his Les Paul with that out of phase..
The 2021 limited edition Epiphone Les Paul Custom Koa is the best era correct Les Paul of 2021 hands down very high end era correct they will definitely go up in Value through the years that's for sure craftsmanship is remarkable...now for these Murphy lab Les Paul's very nice but I prefer my guitars to age naturally
I’m with you, Captain. So many great players and recordings of ‘59s extant. For me, it’s that tone from Kossoff, and the vibrato,also, that is unmistakably unique to him.
Great show as usual .... looking forward to see what 1960 brings :) and then I have a tough question for Pete :) lol thanks again for keeping a load of us sane through lockdown :)
Have the Murphy Lab Brazilian board Korina V and a shop special Brazilian board 59 Murphy Lab. Both are shockingly close to the originals and the best guitars by a mile in my quiver. Both make me sound and play better than I am - similar to my magic 64 strat in terms of mojo.
Got a ‘59 Murphy lab heavy aged Golden Poppy Burst, 2 weeks ago. It is just stunning!! No picture or video do them justice. In real life these are even more breathtaking. I know the first time I opened the case my jaw dropped to the floor. (And even now after 2 weeks, everyday I look at it with immense joy in my eyes) And then comes the sound, Oooohhh boy THE sound! 👏🏻🥰
Love these - can they be ordered in a lefty version if they're all effectively custom shops? All colours and bursts as well????? After Lee's speech of oldies just buying one, I want one cos I'm old :)
For me too Lee, Paul Kossoff had the best tone on a Les Paul. He’s my all time favorite player 🙏. There are so many greats, Freddie King, Danny Kirwan, Peter Green, Slash and the list goes on. But Koss is the sound of a Les Paul to me 🙏 made my day that Lee said Kossoff! 🥳
The custom shop was ran by a guy named Roger Griffin before tone Murphy Griffin did the reiisues in the 90s . He actually built jimmy page a replica hs number les paul in 1992 and it became one of pages main stage guitars on the page and plant tours
Best Les Paul players? Just 3 names... - Jimmy Page - Peter Green - Eric Clapton and then... Kossoff, Slash, Moore, Bloomfield, Gibbons... just to name a few...
Eric Clapton didnt play a Les Paul very long. He has been a Fender guy much longer. But Eric Clapton can make a hello kitty guitar sound great....its all kinda moot
I would add Mick Taylor to that list, you do have a great list though. The top 3 came from the same camp. You can also through in Jeff Beck in his earlier years with a Lester.
I bought a new Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop with hard case in 1972 for $325 (I still have the receipt). So, you're saying there's been a price increase since then?
I still absolutely adore my 88 LP Std which I got off some bloke in 2000 for £700, but I'd still to do a side by side comparison with some of these other badboys.
You guys are terrific and Andertons brings the good stuff all the way to California. A small request: you have a lot of sway with Gibson. Could you please tell them to get serious about the top carve? Thanks always for your wonderful videos.
Enjoyable, fun and informative vid. Gibson's aren't my choice, neither are modern aged/relic finishes, your money get what you want, that's what I do, I buy what I like. Cheers!
The 59 lee was playing haf hotter pickups . There is alot of variance in their out put . Most are around 8k to 8.2k but their are quite a few in the 7.3 to 7.6 range. Although they are rare custombuckers can sometimes be as hot as 8.6k . I have also found that they are using low wind custombuckers in the 57 and 58 reissues and hottet ones for 59 and 60
@@ytpboi3030 I’ve just checked out the models on offer, they DO have a 3 pickup Black Beauty with a Bigsby....Only £7,499! Lol My Burny was £599 and plays amazingly! It’s fitted with Grovers as standard, going to fit Di Marzio PAF 59’s, CTS pots and a Tonepros roller bridge before having a plek set up! Should put me “all in” just over a grand!
"If you don't hit it, you'll never know" definitely sounds like something Les Paul would say. But he'd probably be referring to his female bass player 😂. What a mind he had (in more ways than one). He really did move the music world forward in important and massively significant ways. R.I.P. (the legendary and much appreciated) Lester Polsfuss.
If people had a $500 Epiphone that howled and fed back like that they'd be rushing to swap out the pickups. Same thing happens on a $10k guitar and they act like it's a good thing.
I was trying to tell if was the pickups or the chained overdrives causing that feedback. Regardless, not a selling point for me, as if I could afford one of these anyway. Love that subtle burst look though...
@Mark Seymour yeah, and it was awesome. Unpotted pickups are more prone to feedback, just what they do, can mitigate it a tad by a few spots of silicone on the bobbin/cover gap. Horses for courses. I like my lesters, i like the sound. Its cool if you don't.
I tend to agree. I do kind of like a little bit of the feedback effect you can get from unpotted pickups. But that sounded pretty bad. It Can sound somewhat flashy when in a demonstration jam but imagine dealing with that when you’re trying to just practice. There’s a reason the potting process was invented
The Decibel meter is jumping into 120 at times and they are sitting in front of the amps with drives out front..not ideal for an old unpotted PAF! You watch Bonamassa he finds the exact spot on the stage to grab the feedback/sustain when he wants it. But at those volumes..
I have a Les Paul Classic 2021. I am considering selling it and buy the 59. Would I really notice it being any better? will the intonation be any better? will it feel better? will the fret work be better? are the tuners better than grovers? thanks
Captain Lee I reckon you are correct with the newer CS ‘59 reissues. Whether it’s the 2019 60th anniversary ‘59 LP or the ML aged versions. I swear there is extra go go juice in the ‘59’s compared to the other year models. Perhaps Gibson is winding the PuP’s just a tad bit hotter to give that extra oomph for their flagship LP! I have a new ML Light aged ‘59 LP which is going to replace a 2019 60th anniversary ‘59 LP but both singing louder with more oomph than a 2020 ‘58 and 2020 ‘60 I have. My ML is a rare weight at 7lbs 15oz, so I don’t see weight as an influencing factor. I also setup all my guitars the same way in terms of relief, action and PuP height relative to strings. As is often the case, it could just be the individual guitars, but sometimes it seems like a pattern is emerging the more serial numbers you play 🙂 I cannot wait for the Andertons team to keep trying more CS LP’s for the comparison videos to come. I’m very interested to see if you find a pattern of traits between CS LP product lines... 👍
Whole lotta love was recoded with a les Paul through a Vox amp that was very similar to a Vox super Beatle. Jimmy remembers all these things he only pretends to not remember when he does not want to answer a question or is trying to be intentionally vague even whe he is asked. benign questions
All these reissued / revised models, they are probably better then the old ones . The guitar builders have got loads more knowledge . And super accurate tools machines for final set up .
so are these r9's not in new as in new with no aging ? i thought they were called 'gloss' but i dont see them on andertons or thomann's site anymore . .
Missed Part 1? 🤔
Check out our in-depth review of the new Gibson Murphy Lab '58 Les Pauls here! | ua-cam.com/video/Zd0nMtcwJS0/v-deo.html
I don't think there is so much of a difference with the real one. Tom Murphy knows his shit that's for damm sure. Thank you Captain for make people's life better. by the way , my SG Special P90's Is from Andertons. first went to Dublin and now is happiliy still with yours truly in Spain.
Like what you like, love what you love...But don't be a prick about it...If you can play better than Pete than by all means....
I am blessed to have purchased the 59 light aged Les Paul and it’s glorious. I’m 61 with a birth date of 1959 so this is special to me for many reasons.
Glad you're enjoying the guitar Ken! Sounds like an incredible birthday gift for yourself. 🤘
That's awesome! Congratulations. Enjoy!
That’s me knackered then.... I was born in 63 ☹️
Congrats! Play that beauty and enjoy it!
@@MikeHomar you'll just have to get a strat then.😉
Out of all the Gibson demos you've made, THIS is the sound I hear in my head when I think of Les Paul. Great vid.
The Neck Pickup on a proper good Les Paul is so great! It doesn't get enough appreciation, imo. Beautiful sounds. That's what makes a Les Paul an amazing guitar.
Neck pickup is my default position 👍
Neck pickup is the shit!
Lee has come on so much as a player over the last few years,, he truly has a knack of choosing just the right notes and phrases and is a killer player now. Pete is fab obviously too, but Lee just seems to under play just the right amount to sound perfect✌🏻🤘🏻
Billy Gibbons is my fave burst player for sure. Great playing guys!
Gary Moore was magical on the Les Paul.
It's been said that Les Paul wasn't bad on the Les Paul neither.
Gary Moore could have played a £20 Chinese ripoff Les Paul and still have been a legend.
He played fast but he wasn’t really that unique all his songs sound the same
Pete has been possessed in this one. The Gibson gods are speaking through his fingers and it sounds GLORIOUS!!!
I have a murphy lab 60 and it is insane ..My wife bought me the ultra heavy , it looks incredible , ...The sound and the FEEL is second to none ...Great Job Gibson !!!!!!!
What a fantastic wife,
Is your wife single? lol
This video convinced me to buy a 2022 Murphy Lab '59 Reissue. It cost a fortune, but I don't regret it for a second. Every inch of it is stunning, the sound is amazing, and it plays like nothing I have played before.
Most def for sure!! Got myself a 2022 lightly aged R9 too. My goodness, I thought it was all hype. But I am sure glad I was wrong! Haha
@@markola I've found even playing it acoustically while sitting on the couch sounds amazing. I don't know why, but just how it resonates is unlike anything I've heard
Do they break the headstock off and re glue it. That would be authentic.
😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂
That's the ultra heavy aging
That would actually be kind of amazing
At this point, I just watch whatever pops up with the name Andertons on it.
Ultra Heavy Aged comes with the headstock broken off
Hahahaha made me laugh. That’s the next level above. 😂
Ain’t that the truth!!!
No, that's a standard Gibson.
😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂
Lee and Pete are my guitar heroes
JIMMY PAGE no debate. I mean skill or whatever out the window but as far as who wrote the best music and played the les paul he is the one by a mile.
Damn right!!!!
Jimmy is a genius, I concur wholeheartedly
@Hublot Whore334 no doubt his willingness to just absorb and expand on still pay tribute even with his my idea is out ahead of my fingers style, gives it tension that I don't think anyone came close to.

Grew up with Tommy and his family. He found a niche, quality, and perfection. It’s nice when good things happen to good people!

That opening jam had almost as much feedback as the comment section when discussing relic guitars.
I hope this gets a billion likes
@@69cookiez add me to the pile, that is hilariously true
I bought my 59 VOS from you about 10 years ago and she’s still my favourite.
I don't care about the relic debate, but I reserve my right to complain about the prices of things :-)
I may be alone with this choice. But my favorite Burst player is Gary Rossington from Lynyrd Skynyrd. There were better players but I loved his tone, riffs and licks. Glad I got to see him play live. It was a true treat
There is no Skynyrd without Gary, Gary is the Lynyrd Skynyrd sound. The boy can play, not bad at all of a choice of Burst Player.
Hell yeah 👍
Blimey, Lee has certainly been working on his chops. Nice playing from the both of you guys. \m/ \m/
He's really nailing that Clapton vibrato style.
You guys got the best looking ones I've seen yet. Those colors and tops, WOW!
These look and sound fabulous! How do they fare, tone wise, against regular Custom Shop VOS models? Has there been something done, besides the aging, to make them more resonant, have better sustain etc? Are the pickups the same Custom Buckers or have they been specially hand-wound by some maestro? In other words, is there anything besides the aging that makes these guitars worth the premium over standard Custom Shop ones?
exactly
I agree. If they're the same, other than one looking old, I'll take the much nicer New one any day.
You can basically sum up the takeaway from every Gibson video done during the last three years as: Absolutely breathtaking tone and playability, absolutely stunning looks - and absolutely bonkers pricing. The Gibson Trifecta.
Very nice video, thanks guys.
Naysayers: No one likes relic guitars, they won’t sell
Anderton’s: Hold my quarterly sales report
All guitars would be better if they weren't. But people like pretending like they are seasoned rock stars.
Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Toy Caldwell, Billy Gibbons, Gary Rossington. Kings of the Burst
You from the south?
I love custombuckers but they have a run away frequency somewhere in the upper frequencies and it's not because they are unpotted . I hear in the pre 2019 potted ones as . I have seen quite a few people say the same thing about the CBs
One man, one chord? Peter Green!
If you asked Jimmy P or Gary M back then I think they would say yeah I'am no Peter Green.

Agreed, one hell of a Lester player in the earlier years.
KILLER Tones WOW!!!! Great playing guys.
Those are soooooo good it makes my head hurt! Excellent playing boys!
Pete was utterly incredible on those guitars. Top-tier screeching :))
I’m with you, Captain. So many great players and recordings of ‘59s extant. For me, it’s that tone from Kossoff, and the vibrato,also, that is unmistakably unique to him.
Billy Gibbons! Any of ZZ Top’s early stuff. Pearly Gates into his Marshall.
You guys are so right about the cost. Plus the pay back is endless.
Great show as usual .... looking forward to see what 1960 brings :) and then I have a tough question for Pete :) lol thanks again for keeping a load of us sane through lockdown :)
Just had a mental image of Pete's wife pulling him away from lacquered Gibsons as he just wants to smell them xD
Like that big mouse from Chip n Dale (the cartoon)
Have the Murphy Lab Brazilian board Korina V and a shop special Brazilian board 59 Murphy Lab. Both are shockingly close to the originals and the best guitars by a mile in my quiver. Both make me sound and play better than I am - similar to my magic 64 strat in terms of mojo.
Half of the licks I play are unconsciously from you guys.
Especially the Captain's lick ;)

Yeah with any Gibson you have to see it in person. When I opened the case to my LP standard I was just blown away with how beautiful it was.
Good lord do those guitars sound amazing! And fantastic playing, as always 👏🏻
I've seen Slash in a small venue, obviously great, but I do like Gary
Moore on one of his LP's
Love these - can they be ordered in a lefty version if they're all effectively custom shops? All colours and bursts as well????? After Lee's speech of oldies just buying one, I want one cos I'm old :)
I would definitly Buy one if part of pete’s hands and feeling were included !😉
Good job by the way..pete AND the captain👏👏👍
Way too many players to pick but massive fan of the following Garry Moore, Jimmy Page and Slash also don't forget Joe Perry!!
For me too Lee, Paul Kossoff had the best tone on a Les Paul. He’s my all time favorite player 🙏. There are so many greats, Freddie King, Danny Kirwan, Peter Green, Slash and the list goes on. But Koss is the sound of a Les Paul to me 🙏 made my day that Lee said Kossoff! 🥳
Hello all, really impressed...but whats with all the pedals, can we hear em straight no pedals?
Haven’t seen these two this amped up since the old days. They must really love these guitars
God damn the opening Jams are so tight! great vid guys!
Could you please write in the Description what Amps Lee and Pete are using
Agree
They’re using Ones that you plug into and sound comes out of.
Now that Tom is basically a Gibson employee, how do the “Lab” guitars differ from his previous work with Wildwood and other dealers please?
Awesome guitars! I see Jimmy Page with his dragon suit on playing his 59 slung so low it’s touching the ground!!!!
the 59 reissues look nice and sound great
The custom shop was ran by a guy named Roger Griffin before tone Murphy Griffin did the reiisues in the 90s . He actually built jimmy page a replica hs number les paul in 1992 and it became one of pages main stage guitars on the page and plant tours
That neck pup on Pete 's paul in the intro jam sounds huuuuge.
1:20 what a beautiful color. Anyone know what’s the name of that one?
Best Les Paul players? Just 3 names...
- Jimmy Page
- Peter Green
- Eric Clapton
and then... Kossoff, Slash, Moore, Bloomfield, Gibbons... just to name a few...
I'll add John Sykes (admittedly not a vintage vibe lol) and Warren Haynes to the Honorable Mentions...
Eric Clapton didnt play a Les Paul very long. He has been a Fender guy much longer. But Eric Clapton can make a hello kitty guitar sound great....its all kinda moot
I would add Mick Taylor to that list, you do have a great list though. The top 3 came from the same camp. You can also through in Jeff Beck in his earlier years with a Lester.
@@michaelheller8841 oh right, Mick Taylor as well!
What is the lick that Pete plays at 1:50 called ? I’ve seen a lot of good players play that run.
I bought a new Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop with hard case in 1972 for $325 (I still have the receipt). So, you're saying there's been a price increase since then?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
My 82 Deluxe in wine red was just over £400!
Got stolen when my flat got burgled along with my Washburn white Eagle!
2:34 two same dints under pickup selector... Nice relic job mr. Murphy 👏
I still absolutely adore my 88 LP Std which I got off some bloke in 2000 for £700, but I'd still to do a side by side comparison with some of these other badboys.
I've never heard The Captain sound so goooooood, is he that much improved or is it the guitar!
I love Anderton’s videos but I really don’t understand paying extra to buy a guitar that’s been mullered. But hey if it makes you happy.......
The look I understand, but dents? Not unless it's a direct copy of a famous instrument for me.
It's probably not said enough, but thank you for uploading in 4k. It looks so good on my 4k monitor!
Slash owns the second '58 Les Paul ever made so I don't think it's for sale. I suppose this is the closest I'll get...
You guys are terrific and Andertons brings the good stuff all the way to California. A small request: you have a lot of sway with Gibson. Could you please tell them to get serious about the top carve? Thanks always for your wonderful videos.
I bought a 50s Gibson les Paul and really liking it. I don’t like aging really.
Got to be Peter Green for me, to me he was Les Paul through and through.

Does the ultra heavy have a headstock repair 😂

I Just got a $300 discount because the guitar I bought had D-D-Dings in the neck...
Luv u Pete...
I have a 60th anniversary’59 aged and it is an amazing instrument. 🤙🏼
I love the playing without the pick 😃
Fantastic playing guys!
What’s this I hear about the aged lacquer flaking off on Murphy Lab guitars? Stopping production to find the cause.
