    I really like the binding job you have done, that’s the thing that put me off tributes etc, but if I can do what you did I might save some money and do the same. I notice you put binding on the neck too?..would love to know more details and see more close pics of it.

    My Blues Jr. IV is the black one -- comes with a Celestion A-Type, not the Jensen. I found the Jensen harsh and tinny especially when overdriven. I liked the Celestion Vintage 30 best but maybe that's because I am used to the (cheaper) Celestion A-Type! Also liked the Cannabis Rex.

      Hi, I am not 100% sure, but I think it was Oracal 751C Colour 018 "hell elfenbein". It is a light cream colour. But: If you want to remove it later, it may react with the nitro paint of the guitar.

    The vintage 30 really stands out, very forward sound, not boxy, the cannabis is too muddy, I have had the same experience you have had with the Jensen, the Jensen C2N tends to get raspy when driving it with overdrive but they have a particular sound and like you said you need to work with it and coax out the sound you want.

    Gibson Les Paul😍❤❤❤😍 A small percentage of people say unreal, usually because they don't know everything about Les Pauls. I owned the Tribute until recently and sold it for $300 more than I bought it for because I needed money. A Honeyburst Tribute sounds great and looks absolutely beautiful. There's a lot of magic about it. The fact that it's no longer produced increases its value with each passing year. I once saw an old Tribute that had been used a lot by its owner... this guitar looked exactly like one of the $100,000 bursts!

      Thank you! For the Video I also used my pedal board with Cloudburst Reverb and Boss Blues Driver to add a little gain. Amp settings: Vol. 2,2 / Bass: 6,5 / Mid: 2,5 / Treb: 7,5 / Master: 8,5 / Reverb: 0 / no mid boost. Without Pedalboard I would change Volume to 8,5 and Master to about 2,2 for a nice crunchy clean sound.

      @maik_on_guitar 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      maybe it was used to save money, but the maple has been used from time to time since the 70s, e.g. at customs. It has a brighter tone, which is what some people like on a rock guitar. Also not every tribute has a maple neck, mine does not.

      @@maik_on_guitar The fact the only guitar in their line up that has a maple neck, so happens to be their low budget entry level Gibson says it’s to say cost at the expense of the consumer. As for this “brighter sounding” argument, isn’t it funny that basically no well known Les Paul player has ever bought into that argument? Fact is: it’s excuses like that that allow Gibson to throw maple necks of guitars, and people will manufacture an excuse for it.

      @maik_on_guitar 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@automatoncollectives7237 I don't question that it is the cheaper entry-level model and of course it lacks many expensive features such as bindings, pearl logo in the headstock, etc. and also possible that it is used because it is cheaper to produce the guitar with a maple neck. I'm just saying that there have always been maple necks on Les Pauls and for me that is not a criterion as to whether it is a real Les Paul or not. But it's okay if it's a crucial point for you. ✌

    Out of all 3 speakers My favorite was the B, The Jensen, I also liked A, the Celestion, I think C was a no for me after the second test. They all did good in overdrive But A and B were better all around speakers and to me the clean sound is the most important. Great video and nice playing. Celestion held right in there but I noticed did not have the volume as the Jensen. I am glad I did not have to make the choice .

    Great Comparison, I enjoyed the format you've used. Another thing about speakers is their efficiency rating/volume. I've an old Marshall I was running with a pair of Vintage 30s, it was just to loud for what I was doing. I switched to a pair of classic Greenbacks (which are less efficient) and the volume dropped by almost half. Check the speaker's measured sensitivity, the Vintage 30s are rated at is 100 dB. The Greenback speakers measure only 98 dB of sensitivity (a significant reduction in sound pressure level). Just my $.02 Cents, you can really customize an amplifier for specific needs/uses by changing speakers.
