    These are a step in the right direction for Gibson. I was pleasantly surprised with how this one felt and played. There might still be some QC issues, but I'm hopeful that will get better in time!

      Orange drops is great but apart from the baseplate and grey toggle wire you mentioned, it’s wired in modern circuit instead of 50s wiring which would have been an easy change.

    I bought one of these in "no burst". I have gone over it in depth along with a couple other players. The workmanship is flawless in every way. Did a very minimal set-up to my liking was all that was done . It plays and sounds absolutly tremendous. Without a doubt one of the finest guitars I currently own or have owned in 45 years of playing guitar.

    Really glad that Gibson is finally turning it around after floundering for the better part of the decade. Though there is something that I'll give the credit for doing in the last couple of years: removable pickgaurds with now screws. I really liked that idea and really wish they kept going with that.

    I bought one of these from Chuck Levins, 2019 60's in Bourbon Burst which is closest thing I could find to the old-school Tabaco burst. The top on mine could easily pass as a AAA or 10-top. It's beautiful, plays great, and 8.4 Lbs. I like you tried both the 50's and 60's, and the 60's came home with me for your same reasons as well. Cheers.

    i bought a 2019 classic in translucent cherry and my first instinct was to go look under the pickguard to make sure my top wasn’t being scratched (even though i’m a pickguard-on guy). i was PLEASANTLY surprised to see that whoever put on the pickguard placed a little piece of felt under that infamous nut, to protect it from scratching. I don’t known if that’s standard or someone was just being considerate, but i’m very pleased.

    After putting the guitar down for two plus years to complete a master's degree it was hard to get enthusiastic to play again until I saw these new Les Pauls. My 57 reissue Goldtop sounds great but I've never been completely satisfied because of the baseball bat neck. I had a Classic and the neck was more my fit. My new Les Paul Standard is wonderful and a perfect fit. The flame top is gorgeous and all and all it's great all the way around.

    Wow! Now THAT’S a guitar! I love how they nailed all of the important details while still throwing in some nuanced upgrades, like the control plate and output jack cover. This is what a standard needs to be! QC aside (and lets be honest here, under new management and a new system of doing things, mistakes will be made), I think they nailed it.

    Something I do with all the gibsons I buy is sand the fretboard progressively from 400 grit to 2000 grit including the fret marker inlays as well as detail the binding and nibs, then polish the inlays with rubbing compound / mothers...it usually takes about an hour to do...you would be amazed how much of a difference it makes in both looks and feel...perhaps try it sometime.

    I love the 60's gibson the trouble for me to buy one of those is the cost, here in Mexico the stock was so limited ( you practically have to pre-order one whit months of anticipation before the arriving of the little number of guitars who came to mexico, and pay and absurd amount to ensure your guitar ) ... And they're Impossible expensive and the used ones just are so requested... So i never found one when i want ... Btw i love your channel i'm a fan greatings from México ...

    I bought mine from Chicago Music Exchange… my favorite guitar. The flame top rivals some custom shop units. The neck is the most comfortable for me out between the 50’s and 60’s series. The tones with the solid body are throw back and pungent. On mine, the QC is amazing. That might be because I live in Chicago and drove the salesman crazy. 🤔

    What makes that guitar is the top. Nice and period correct. No seams 1/3 down the top with different pieces cobbled together. and a really nice finish job. Work on the quality and they may have a winner at a nice price right in between a PRS CE and the higher priced McCarty. The McCarty will be about a grand higher and will be flawless but may sway people who put less emphasis on super killer tops and will assume a smaller hit in quality. We may have a horse race here.. The question will come down to dealer acceptance.

    I bought a new Standard '60s in June,from Wildwood-a bourbon burst only a little less flamey than the one in the vid.Plays" like buttah",sounds great,and does the job right onstage.We could nitpick about the choice of finishes,but overall Gibson has knocked it out of the park.

    I am a Fender guy as you can tell. I got my 60s Les Paul on Saturday and I am overly impressed. One of the best Gibson’s I have played in a long time. No issues with it and I have not been able to put it down. I feel that a good guitar is one that tempts you to keep playing it.....this thing checks all the boxes for me!

    Thanks for another fantastic review....
    I bought a 2020 60’s standard and it’s a beast.
    I own a studio and play professionally so we have 12 Gibson’s for our clients choice.
    We have the unburst and it’s the best Les Paul we have ..especially the fretwork is smooth.
    The bursts are loud and proud.
    We usually have to recut the nut and setup the LP we have in the past. The 20 was ready to play
    out of the case. I’m a huge Gibson fan....it’s American Icon and I hope they continue making
    fine instruments. Part of the charm of a Gibson is the feel of a handmade instrument made in the USA
    We are so worried about about little imperfections we forget that it’s the sound we’re seeking.
    I could care less if my guitar has a scratch of a ding somewhere...it’s the sound and the feel
    I get when I pick up that iconic instrument like so many great musicians have done in the past
    and hit that chord and say....wow that’s worth the price of admission.

    This is the video that put me over the edge, I could not resist the Bourbon Burst, my favorite Gibson finish. I waited for one to pop up with a sick top AND dark rosewood board and one did I jumped all over it.
    At 9.8 lbs it’s my heaviest guitar, but it plays SO slinky for whatever reason, 10’s literally feel like 9’s on this guitar. I love the Burstbucker 61’s too, they got some nice bite but not icepicky or harsh.

    For the record. The Traditionals have had no weight relief for years. Also the Standards were chambered only until 2012, when they just began using varying types of routing. Routing is very different from chambering.
    Also the control cavity didn't change from the recent Traditionals.
