    I'm 58, and I've never paid more than 600.00 for any guitar, even in the 80s. The Gibson line is way over priced and is priced for labor and not parts. Pots, and wire, and etc are no bearing on tone. I have squires that I've gigged with for over 30 years, and it pays bills. You must know how to set up a neck and pups. I never wanted to sound like anyone and just play songs and I've never been interested in learning every note of solos, but I also play country and most of it came in time with practice. It's cool you do this. It's exactly what anyone can do with time and patience, and education

    • @jimkostan9932

      One Reason why Gibson's are more expensive,is #1 the name, and back in the day they were all handcrafted. Also Gibson did all the research and development, what's less expensive guitars all they had to do is copy it they did not have to invent it. I'm like you, as far as being older also,, I'm 67 now,,started playing in 1967, at age of 10. My first Gibson was a Gibson SG standard P-90s,$149.99. then my next Gibson was a ES -125 that was also under $200. Gibson Les Paul, cost,$285.99. still have my Gibson's but now,, there's so many good Gibson based Guitars like PRS, etc. would you buy cheaper because they did not do the research and development.. now,,,I'm mostly a fender guy..

    • @pauljohnson3686
      @pauljohnson3686 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just once in life.. A guitar player should own a gibson les paul.. Even if it is just for a month or two... It may seem like a lot of money but in 5 or 10 years you will still have that money if you decide to sell... Its like a Rolex.. You actually get to own the product for free whilst you own it. On the other hand you can keep it and be proud that you bought what the other guitars can only copy.

    @danielsaturnino5715 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Remember to angle that nut file towards the headstock in the same angle the string would. Makes the string move smoother and allows it to contact all the way on the slot thus not messing up your intonation.

  • @dp9550

  • @dlflash56
    @dlflash56 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did something very similar. I bought one of the Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar's. Like you, I'm not a big fan of the Burstbucker pups, so I bought a set of the Custombucker's from a R9 and slapped those puppies in and polished the top... OMG, what a difference those pups made in tone and the polish just makes the flame top jump out. Basically, because of the specs on this model... I have a R9 at 1/4 of the price of the Gibson equivalent. I absolutely love it and find myself playing it more than I do my Gibson's.

A lot of people love shit like this, myself included. I'd rather poke around and find a killer deal on an older guitar that needs a little TLC, then drop $1500+ on something new these days.

    I always luv redoing Guitars. For the last 8 years I've been making Dean ML style Guitars. I typically use Ibanez RG style Guitars for parts. Like necks. Body core pickup routes. Neck pocket position and trem position.. although I set my necks in and use actual Floyd Rose trems. I cut down along each side of the pickup routes. And build layers to build my own 25.5" scale .. 24 fret. ML style Guitars.. I have about 7 of them. Or more? Like 3 or 4 Stealth Style ML Builds too.. so I luv seeing anyone do their own work. Learning to make guitar major reconditioning and modifications a hobby....

    Edit - Forgot to say "great job!". It turned out fantastic.
    I have several nice Les Pauls (Gibsons), but I've always wanted a Custom - just to look at! Lol
    I just didn't need another Les Paul, let alone what the Customs cost these days. So, I got both a black and white Epis. I ended up liking the white better and sent the black one back. I played it a few times, but it was pretty unremarkable (I couldn't stand it actually), so it just hung on the wall looking pretty. Decided one day that I was going to see about making it a player and dropped in the SD Hot-Rodded set (jazz and JB), all-new electronics, including push pull pots for coil splitting, had my tech give it a stellar setup, oh and swapped the bridge for a Gotoh (I'm a fan) and man, the transformation was incredible. I mean, they have legit ebony fretboards! Great overall platform ripe for modding. No, it still doesn't have the same feel as my Gibsons, but I won't hesitate to gig it.

    Thanks for the video, the idea of using a car polisher hadn't occurred to me. I need to take some scratches off a headstock, that could work.
    BTW, your soldering iron appears to have a blue sponge (can't quite tell, but at 17:10) on the stand. You don't want to use a wet sponge while soldering. I know, it's how I was taught too, but it cools the iron off and oxidizes it. Get a brass soldering cleaner, looks like a brillo pad, and it will clean off the iron and not cool it down. Unless of course you aren't using a wet sponge, then ignore me!

    That guitar looks amazing! The only small thing that I would change is the switch tip. I think that a black one, like the original, will fit so much better than this orange one. But still a very hot guitar, dude!

    Great video! I modded my shecter with the same bridge and tuners. They are just great. I agree pickups make a huge difference. I put a set of Bare Knuckle polymath in my LP. Sounds killer. They replaced a set of Tim Shaws which where great. But they sound clearer and way more dynamic.

    Great video!! I did the same with my Les Paul copy that I bought in 1986. I used EMG plug and play pickups. So so easy!! Keep doing what you’re doing 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻by the way I think you have just a little more room for another amp on that wall

    Sweetwater is the shiznit! The last purchase I made with them was a bag of picks. Afterwards they call, (like always) to see if I'm happy, or if there's anything they can do....FOR A BAG OF PICKS PEOPLE! A BAG OF PICKS....Yeah!

    Awesome video bro. I just bought a budget Ibanez I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing with. I would love to see more videos like this in the future.

    I buffed the flat finish on a prophecy to gloss and it made the guitar look 100x better. I had to sand it like this to do that.

    hey Kyle about 3 years ago i bought a guitar it’s a copy a very well made copy of a les paul and i didn’t realize that the mojotone wireless harness came with this guitar i was always wondering why it would always sound so good like your guitars this one has become kind of my favorite it has a big neck no inlays an ebony fretboard which i love it’s all black in color with white binding and most of all it’s heavy i love them heavy
    thank you for your video of the upgrades for your epiphone
