The best “Les Paul” I ever owned was my vintage Tokai LS 120 I traded on my 2003 Gibson Custom Shop R9, which I still have. Also have an R8. And a PRS SC58. And I still want my Tokai back. Only they have gotten ridiculously expensive themselves. Moral of story? Don’t “upgrade” a guitar you love.

[Pickles-sk]

Can’t go wrong with any. I have a 2020 Gibson CS 60th anniversary LP and a Heritage H-150. Both are great! I’m glad you guys are giving love to Heritage. They are a small shop of 30 or less employees crafting great guitars!

[Jamiexjs]

I have a Heritage and a 58 Gibson custom shop. When I play live 9 times out of 10 I use the heritage. I enjoyed this video 👍

[danbrown]

Bought the 59 on sunday.... just makes me smile every time I pick it up or look at it.

[Gordon__Cairns]

Taking a moment to appreciate how far Lee’s lead and overall playing has come.
I watched an old Anderton’s video and it’s night and day.
Some tasty tones in that intro

[buckhinschwey]

I’m only on the intro jam, the Gibson just has “the thing”

[lenbones]

I haven't play any of those and they all sound and look epic but I think props has to go to Heritage for simply keeping the dream alive when the factory left town that gets the style points for me

[SidGogi]

Lee’s playing is getting ridiculous... he seems like a totally different guitarist now!

[benkmoskomusic]

Pete has the Midas touch. Every guitar he picks up, the tone turns to gold.

[CJZM]

Personally, I would get the PRS and lower the pickups a smidge. Interesting that they just play full out on volume and tone too. I would like to hear the PRS with volume and tone backed off a bit. I probably will never spend this much money on a guitar but I would lean toward PRS because I think with pickup height adjustment, and tweaking of the knobs; you could get the sounds you want while getting the best built guitar.

[frankmchale]

Would like to see this done again but with the standard models.

[kimir]

Best smelling guitar goes to the Gibson

[DVRMNaitor]

The “you said maybe” joke while Captain was ‘playing an open G chord was sublime, Pete! 💯

[scottsanders]

All three are great guitars, and I would feel fortunate to own any of them. Each has subtle differences in tone, and I’m guessing feel and playability based on your comments. That being said, I agree with Lee that the Gibson sounded the best overall.

[aleknecko]

I’ve watched this video dozens of times, not because I’m trying to decide which one I like - I know my favourite. I continue to watch and listen for pure enjoyment of such beautiful electric guitar tones. 3 beautiful instruments.

[ForestFoxify]

I've got a PRS McCarty 594 double cut and a vintage Les Paul Custom. There's some overlap but I have absolutely no qualms about owning and using both. I love them. Can't go wrong with either.

[literallyshaking]

A Heritage is the closest thing you can truly buy if you want a genuine vintage Gibson.

It’s made in the same factory that the golden era Gibsons were made in, on the same machines (not CNC like large brands) by people who actually built them back in the day. They do almost everything in-house, and yet they still manage to charge less than major mass produced brands.

I hope more players give them a chance, because their ethos honestly falls in line with what most people claim to want when buying something they’ll cherish for life.

[rotatingdriveline]

During the jam at the end the PRS really cut through for leads better than the other guitars... Interesting.

[uzairp]

Could you do the same with the Studio vs SE vs etc. level too?

[michaelseecy]

I really like how you guys hyped this episode a bit before releasing it. It gave me something to look forward to! Sending love from Australia.
