There is no need to search for the best one. Get your hands on one and make it into THE ONE. My mother bought me a new Les Paul back in the 80's as a surprise for my 15th birthday and I'm sure she didn't sit down in a guitar store and play every Les Paul there. I've played the heck out of it for over 40 years. And everybody that plays it says it's the best sounding and best feeling Les Paul they've ever played. I tell them because it was bought with love. Rest in peace mom!

Can't express how happy I am at the results you returned. I worked my way up from busboy, to line cook, to kitchen manager, to restaurant manager - changed fields and went to college. Started over pay-wise and took a chance on myself. Was a temp in the field of my study for about a year - watched people get fired left and right. I jumped at the opportunity for a full time position and have worked my way up to a respectable salary. All the while, music has been my lifeblood and my passion. Well, with my last raise, I went through Sweetwater and purchased a 60's standard as a reward for my decades of hard work. This was the guitar that I worshipped my whole life, and it was an emotional journey finally getting one in the mail. These things made of wood, metal, and plastic mean so much.

I've always loved Les Pauls, and this was a great breakdown of the various tiers. I did end up eventually with a Murphy Labs R8, but it took me 60 years and a retirement to get there! Terrific episode, Rhett 🔥🙏🏻❤

[JohnnyArtPavlou]

Wonderful playing throughout, Rhett. Tons of great tones, too, 🔥🔥🔥

[MetalMadArran]

Let's all just appreciate that stellar intro track for a minute. Way to go Rhett! What a vibe.

[fivewattworld]

Great intro Rhett. Loved the modulation…

[djxxeess]

Dude I'll echo once again what everyone else is saying. That intro track was awesome. Gave me that quick rush you feel when your favorite part of a song comes on. Good stuff man!!

[brooksroman]

Relevant to this video, I remember you talking about how it was all Fenders and no Gibsons at Coachella.. I just returned from Louder Than Life in Louisville KY, the largest rock festival in the country, where almost every band, including the young ones, were playing Gibsons. They’re just not wasting their time with signature models with young artists, but young artists are still choosing these legendary instruments. Great work on this video!

[AlbertaClimber]

I found you through watching Rick Beato, and am so glad that he has you on his podcast, because between your appearances there and your own podcasts, I have picked up so many practical tips from you that have made life as a newbie player much, much easier. I especially love when you go into guitar or repair shops as you do such a great job of getting the person to explain the subject at hand, rather then just a video of you buying of having guitar repaired, Always interesting and ever informative, thank you!

[LourencoBranco]

Dude this is one of the best ''guitar'' videos i've ever watched, everything from the playing to the video editing, phenomenal!!

[Kovboi]

Great video Rhett as always! Helped me pick out my LP. Got a 50’s Standard in Tobacco Burst yesterday. It’s killer!

[mattplummer]

That brief rendition of Since I’ve Been Loving You. Stunning!

[akdragunov]

That intro track is absolutely killer. Not what I expected at all

[aramkazorian]

This was honestly such a helpful and great video Rhett! Loved it! Another idea similar to this would be a comparison between the different fender Strat types maybe? Considering that and the LP are the two most famous guitars. Either way, awesome video and sick intro!!

[donniehba]

You inspired me so much that I went out and bought a brand new Gibson Les Paul Tribute and I am very pleased. Thanks for the recommendation -- as I would not have shopped for or purchased it if not for this video. Well done!

[mikepj]

Great video man. Much appreciated. I had a Studio years ago and it was a great guitar but never got along with the pickups. Last year I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Slash Goldtop which has CTS pots and orange drop capacitors. I put a set of Gibson Burstbuckers 1 and 2 in and did 50s style wiring and the guitar is absolutely incredible. Keep these videos going. Love it.

[musicisfree]

That intro was great! Also that bit of Since I've Been Loving You was right on time, I've been really hooked on that song lately.

[michaela.friestbigmikesbas]

Thanks for that video. Love to see the honest assessment of the classic LP. I am an Epiphone fan and was really pleased that you rated it as high as you did. Great guitars for us working players and you can always mod them to your hearts content without worry. Great stuff as always.

[jamesstrong]

congratulations you are my first subscribed channel that i've chosen arm youtube. why was delighted to watch you playing your guitars and pleased with your choices. keep up the good work Rhett!

[georgebaader]

Great video Rhett! Nice breakdown of all the features and their valuation! Rock on!!
