Hi, my name is Paul Davids! I am a guitar player, teacher, producer, and overall music enthusiast from the Netherlands! I try to inspire people from all over the world with my videos, here on YouTube.

Thank you for watching!

As a Strat player, I gotta say I’m happy Gibson hired Mark and looks to be listening to him already. Hopefully both Fender and Gibson stay around, and remain iconic.

2:16 "My reputation of keeping things in mint condition is not good" (instantly validates hypothesis with guitar balancing experiment)

[JayPrez]

There is no one I enjoy watching play guitar on YouTube than you Paul. Absolutely love your vids

[NavinBagga]

This is all I needed to see and hear today. Been contemplating a Gibson for a while being a Fender player, and it sounds 2019 may be the year the production of Gibsons is coming back up the standards. Thanks for the inspiration!

The way you kept grabbing all those other guitars while you had that Gibson on your lap--I was sure you were going to put a big ding in it!

[inthemix]

Not sure which is better, the gorgeous tones or the slick editing!

[AweSamAlways]

Brother, the quality of your video is awesome! The little details in the editing, the skillful way of taking the footage and recording audio. I appreciate them.

Subbed! I didn't expect a music channel to be made this way. Thanks for this!

Love your videos, man. Talent, knowledge, and down to earth attitude makes these a joy to watch during these trying times.

Sounds great... or it could just be the person playing it.

I purchased the Classic Les Paul this past April as my first ``expensive'' guitar. It is truly amazing. Really love the feel of the guitar, the sound and everything. Has been a big motivation to up my game.

Got one in sunburst after the great reviews on how Gibson started caring about it's quality again. Gotta say I love it! Ordered it and was pleasantly surprised how beautiful it was. The wood grain lined up so symmetrical... plays well....got a few more payments to pay off.... looking at the Sg '61 reissue.

I really love this guy’s playing. Probably my favorite of these huge YouTube guitar channels.

[grahamblack]

That reminded me of the day I bought my Les Paul Standard, and that feeling when I got home and opened the case.

[netexile]

Hey Paul. I actually bought this exact model, in some part based on your review. I was in the market for my first Les Paul and I'm happy to say it did not dissapoint. Thanks for such an in-depth and inspiring review.

I picked up a 2020 Goldtop 50s standard, and I was blown away by the build quality and the acoustic sound it has

[bamber]

I just bought mine yesterday. Picked it up and instantly fell in love.

[Matthew-ezze]

Very, very nice. I love how you describe the feeling of a well made guitar.

[alwaysmidnight]

The MSRP is $3, 200 CDN.
They look and feel nice, but i noticed that all 5 of the new models that I observed had visible jumps in the frets when looking straight up or down the the fret board. The rest of the build from what I observed was what one could expect from a 2012 Les Paul Traditional. Very clean and classy.


None the less, I enjoyed your review and as always top shelf content and production!

[bram]

I am absolutely in love with the gold top. God damn, what a beautiful instrument.

[hayatotheninja]

Just got a 50's standard last month in Tobacco Burst, and I have to say: Wow! Plays great right out of the box and it sounds terrific. My first ever new Gibson (had a used SG that was a mess) and I am VERY pleased with the quality.
