OmarBradley Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Tele's are cool, never owned one, but I had lots of $ I certainly would.On another note, I am getting severe GAS (gear acquisition syndrome, for those who aren't familiar) for a Jubilee head. If anyone here has one and is looking to trade or clear some space in their gear room, send me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got it in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. I'm at school right now so I don't have a picture of mine handy but I'll try to remember to post one later on! To be honest this was a total blind buy when I was able to get a steal on it, but I'm certainly not disappointed. It's hands down the best Les Paul I've played.Gibson isn't kidding when they say they've loaded it with the hottest pick-ups they make. The 500T sounds massive, but surprisingly the guitar can clean up nicely too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those ceramic pick-ups are indeed very hot, and I liked the slim '60's neck. Can't lie and say I don't like my current guitar better, but those Classics are excellent guitars, wishing I hadn't sold mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video/sound recording? What amp did you play it through? Any pedals? Always report immediately back here whenever playing a vintage LP. This will sound very, very lame. But I played it unplugged. It still played and felt like butter. I was afraid to ask about taking it to their amp room. I should have. Either way, I could tell it was something special. Even if you didn't tell me the year I would have known something was different about it. I have played 1959 VOS reissues, traditionals, standards, and many Les Pauls at stores and such. I just love them all, but this thing felt like it had a story to tell.Next time I go, I'll ask to plug it in. But I am a bit afraid to because I know it'll be everything I want in a guitar, and sadly, that perfection won't be something I can ever have.Here is the exact guitar- http://elderly.com/vintage/items/30U-18394.htmIt seems it was owned by Paul Reed Smith at some pointTHE BEST AMP EVER...it'a awesome guys... trust meNever heard of it. is it more like an american or british amp?the best thing that I can say is...imagine Marshall + Engl + Bogner + Mesa...f'n crazy !!!And wtf, I can't even picture that sound combination...

SlashisGOD Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Guitars:2012 Les Paul Standard Tobacco Burst finish. '57 Classic pickups, 60s neck. Coil split, though I don't use it much. This is seriously the best guitar I've ever played in terms of tone and playability.2007 Les Paul Studio Fireburst finish, with gold hardware. 60s neck I believe. Humbucker pickups. This was my first LP so it has a special place in my arsenal. The tone is warm and the action is nice and low, as it should be.2009 Ibanez RG420. This is a beautiful looking guitar (have had tons of compliments). Wood finish. I use this for shredding as it just works great for that style, whereas I use the LP's for more blues based stuff (though I also use them for metal.)I use a Boss Metalzone distortion pedal and have for years. That's the only effect pedal I currently use, though I want to try out some others here soon. I couple this with a Marshall JCM800 head and it's perfect, especially with the LP's. I set the treble to the max and mids and bass to half. Great tone for me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, Slash's uses the DD-3. I've got a DD-3 and used a metronome to set it up near perfectly to the Jungle setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Man, I am loving the Standard Tele I bought last month. Best guitar for $500 and under in my opinion. I am seriously impressed. Anyone else got a standard Fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Les Paul standard traditional pro w/60's neck, tobacco burst. Very versatile guitar with the cool tapping pickups. However I'm seriously consider removing the '57 pickup in the bridge with a slash signature one. I have one in another guitar that isn't so great, but the pickup sounds fantastic. I play through a Marshall DSL 100h, the new Korea heads which according to people I've spoken to with more knowledge about it, is an affordable version of their JCM 800. It sounds great and is every bit as versatile as the guitar. I play through a JCM800 1960A angled cab. I also recently picked up an MIJ lawsuit era LP for $600 off eBay and threw in black slash pickups that I had in an Epiphone LP and kinda pimped it out. The guitar itself isn't so great, needs fretwork and new machine head tuners bad, though i may flip it on eBay and really sell the new electronics and pickups, depending on how much repairs end up costing. I got it for gigs in cities or way out of town where if something happened to it, my whole identity would be threatened as it would be of my Gibson were stolen or something.Lastly, for the LP I'm seriously getting a tronical headstock tuner. These are what Gibson is calling the min-etune in this year's models. Gibson keeps trying to make it sound as if you can't buy the piece by itself, that they only come with Gibson guitars but they are just tronical e-tuners which you can buy. I play with a country singer 2-3 times a month, and they're usually 3 hour gigs with lots of covers and lots different tunings. The e-tuner seems ideal to work with that, especially since anyone with a Les paul will tell you that despite 60+ years of making guitars, specifically les Paul's, Gibson still hasn't figured out how to make the G string stay in tune after bends (this is the case with every Gibson I've played, I can't be the only one who feels this way). With country lead guitar there are a lot of twangy bends which are great for knocking a guitar out of tune. I can't really be fucking with my tuning after every solo. The min-etune just seems like a nice luxury that if I'm ever flush on cash I'll look into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard mixed things but it has all the features I am looking for in a Les Paul. Not looking to buy a Les Paul for another 5 or so years but its my dream guitar, so I want to find the perfect ones. Anyways, thought I would ask.
