Staff Pick Of The Week - 2019 Les Paul Classic

[thenut]

The neck’s tone knob function when pulled, is not the same as the bridge tone knob. The neck tone knob is an in-phase/out of phase push-pull. Creates the "Peter Greene” sound of having the polarity switched of the magnet.
I felt it necessary to mention since this is a whole different tone changer that a lot of players look for and it was labeled differently in your video.

I just bought this guitar one week ago and I am now noticing it’s having some serious fret buzzing problems high on the neck . After close inspection of the neck there is something just not right about it and so I’m taking it back for an adjustment. If they cannot fix it I will return it and order another one . Other than that it is a beautiful sounding guitar. Hey, this is an update, got my Gibson readjusted and it’s completely awesome. Absolutely love my Les Paul, wanted one since I was a kid and got a good one .

Absolutely love my Les Paul Classic. Ordered from American Musical Supply and it was at my door 36 hours later!

The BRIDGE tone pull pot is a bypass. The neck one is an out of phase switch. Also, they're coil taps, not coil splits. They don't become single coils. Tapping means taking the signal from about half the winds around the pickup rather than the full amount. So basically you're switching to a super low output humbucker.

the woodgrain on that particular top is really beauitful

Strat type tones???? I have this guitar and a fender American strat. The split coil tones in this guitar sound NOTHING like a strat. Both sound amazing! This guitar absolutely shines when played clean, with some compression, delay and chorus the tone is to die for!

Played one today and loved the neck. Never could like LP's neck profiles but this one was perfect

I’m looking forward to getting mine 🎸 Cool demo!

[markdemars]

Nothing like a plain top. Like a fingerprint, none alike. That one is especially nice! Great video! Cheers!

I played one prefer the 57 classic pups though

I hate to be "that guy" but this guitar doesn't have coil splitting, it has coil tapping. Coil tapping just "taps off" the winds at a lower wind count but it remains a humbucker. There should be no 60 cycle hum.

Basically, when they're wiring 4 wire humbuckers, they do a certain number of winds, then tap off the coil (run the line out). Then they continue winding to a higher wind count and run that line out. When the pot is pushed in, both coils are in the circuit giving you the full wind count. When the pot is pulled up, only the first wind is in the circuit giving you a lower wind count and a different tone. Mainly, it will push the amp much less. However, in all cases, it's still a humbucker.

Coil splitting is exactly what it sounds like an is a single coil. This guitar does not do coil splitting.

Wow, that is beautiful! I can't believe how good the bridge pickup sounds. Not like the usual icepick to the eardrums sound that has kept me from really enjoying Les Pauls. I want this one!

[MRROBBIEWATTS]

I've been trying to buy one of these Gibson Les Paul Classic's here in the UK but had no luck -
anyone out there got one for sale ?? -
- MUST be a 'GOLD TOP'!

[kingstumble]

I thought the neck tone push /pull was a phase reversal.

[MRROBBIEWATTS]

Has anyone got one of these Gibson Les Paul Classic Gold Top 2019 to sell me? -

I'm in Liverpool UK

Turn the damn distortion off .. the actual sound of the guitar, and the single/dual coil difference cannot be heard

[cobowe]

Didn’t mention jimmy page or david Grissom at all!!
Not a salesman...lol

They aren’t jumbo frets!!! They are barely medium jumbo. I have this guitar & Im having Dunlop 6100’s put in because shitty Gibson don’t make stock production guitars with Jumbo fretwire!
