Please note: This video was filmed before UK government guidelines on social distancing were introduced.
Duel is directed by Steven Speilberg before he was a global phenomenon. Pete got his Stevens mixed up.
dont care
When will be hearing that sl amps custom clean!!??
"This year is the 70th anniversary of the 1960 Les Paul.." .... this video is actually from 10 years in the future. :O
Bridge pick up on red guitar seems tapped and tiny.
I imagine Tom Murphy's house is all broken windows and peeling wallpaper but his doorbell sounds awesome.
And it was built this year
🤣🤣🤣
😂 yes
I love that analogy!! Ha, ha ha! I I'll never know that's what it Boil's down to doesn't it? Good one mate!!!
Not only the doorbell sounds great, the hinges on the front door feel well played in, like it's your own.
Pete: "Have you got the tone all the way up?"
Twisting the knife lol, love it.
PVC so to the point Ha ha! Actually the Captain may want to try a treble booster like a range master replica, that may well work.
“Doesn’t sound bad” “just sounds muffled, does that make sense?
Exactly how you want someone to describe your Gibson Custom Shop. 😆
:-)
Honestly, might be worth trying to lower those pickups on the 59 a bit. Might open things up a bit, give you a tiny bit more sustain
@@TheTapMusic This at least gives me relief knowing even the high end custom shops suffer from this problem. I just bought 50s standard and its a fantastic guitar, but I really struggled with the neck pickup. It sounded like a good pickup with tons of potential but there was a blanket over the amp at all times. And apparently a lot of Les Paul owners report those issues with their guitars.
@@dansands6363 60s standard pickups slightly brighter.
@@dansands6363 It might be the 50's wiring.. People have been known to change their tone caps and even changing pots to regular CTS 500K can nake a huge difference in clarity. Ive got a Traditional les paul with that 50's wiring and ive never been happy with the neck pickup. its just way too muddy sounding
I like both, but the video of Rob and Lee always makes me smile. When I was living at home, my dad and I always made a tradition to go out to various guitar shops on Black Friday and look at the gear we wanted but could not afford. We’d drive around and listen to Joe Satriani, Dream Theater, Rush, and Megadeth. After a long day of window shopping we’d stop for lunch and hang out. The Anderton’s video always reminds me of those days.
Is your dad still around?
This vid clearly shows that we're all nuts
was there ever any doubt?
Amen
:-) you are correct sir
Should have invited Rabea with his black Les Paul! 😁
good call
Yeah, Rabea’s LP sounded great when he played it at Norm’s Vintage Guitars. That was a great jam.
I think I like that one more than either of these two, though it could have just been other parts of Rabea's rig. He always has a great tone.
He doesnt have one, he has MusicMans
@@insomniumanathema6696 check better.
"It's not as bright"/"sounds a bit muffled" ... Lee, measure the volume pot(s) and find replacements higher in the spec range (pots have a 20% tolerance range). See what tone cap is in there and go the next smaller common uF (if 0.047uf then go 0.033uf). If you want to go more radical, put the tone cap you removed in series with the muddy pickup hot lead. The controls, they actually control the tone, even when the knobs are dimed! I used to swap pickups until I figured out how much influence can be obtained with $10 in parts. Don't forget to adjust pickup heights and screw pole heights, that's a free mod (lower is often better).
I have a 2019 R8 and I think the pups are a bit muddy. I rarely use the neck pickup because of this. My 335 sounds much brighter.
Is Lee’s wired with ‘50s wiring ? Might be part of it..
That is something that Dylan from Dylan talks tone would say
All Les Pauls are awesome; not that interested in their described differences. I'm just here for the guys' stories and jam sessions. ;-)
They all have their own great sound!
Yes absolutely. Any Les Paul is a thing of happiness.
I like the way it’s kind of come full-circle with “The Captain’s Lick” and that guys like Pete and Bea are actually using it and even here in the outro jam Lee is happy playing around it coz he knows how much he’s improved and can see the funny side of it. Nice little metaphor for Andertons as a whole and how it’s grown over the years. Pleasure being part of the journey :)
DOB4711:Yep, I’m pretty sure I heard it 3 times on Friday’s TPS vid. It was Mick if memory serves.
I keep hearing about the lick, still not sure where it is. Could you please add a timestamp?
@@romitsugathanpanicker4620 23:08
@@melwynz Thanks! Yeah definitely a recurring one.
Yeah, I'm worried if I use it I will get a copy-write strike. lol a bit.
If Lee lowered his pickups a little, that may very well take the muffled sound down a notch. Setup has a lot to do with the sound.
was thinking the same thing - lower pickup height will be more broad range, more scooped mids, more single sounding - higher more mids more push
@@xsaberx1125 Yep that was exactly my thought, he could have saved himself 6 grand.
Yes THIS!!!
Duel was a 'Steven Spielberg' movie (his first as a Director) - not Stephen King based on a story by Richard Matheson
Love Richard Matheson.
Yep. It was a made for TV movie.
Wasn’t the guy in the car the same guy who played the dad in Gentle Ben? The series with the bear and the little boy 🐻
@@roubador and 20 minutes b-roll were added for the cinemas
@@Gixer750pilot , no it was Dennis Weaver who was in Gunsmoke and later in McCloud.
Lee, if it's any consolation, yours won the sustain test, by a mile!
so (generally) the sustain of a (otherwise equal constructed) guitar is influenced by the weight. It was no surprise to me, as i find
one can hear the strong attack on the lighter guitar as well. If you change some parts on the "not so good" guitar, it will be 99 %
there in sound as the lighter Guitar.
After telling his Noel Galagher anecdote, I was expecting Lee to say "anyway, here's Wonderwall..." :)
Pete may have “better guitars” and be a “better player” but there’s only one name plastered in big print across the wall, written on the hoodies...and of course only one signature lick played at the end! Great video as always btw
Agreed that Pete’s sounds better. However, it also sounds more like a tele than a typical Paul. Does that mean the secret to getting the best Les Paul tone on a budget is to buy a great tele? Wait he already has that too. Love it when the best guitars go to the guys who can make the most of them instead of hanging on the walls of collectors. (PS, thank you collectors for buying the expensive stuff that keeps driving creativity and innovation)
I had the same conclusion. Lee's guitar sounds like a Les Paul. Pete's just doesn't. It's unique, which makes it super special, it's just not what a Les Paul usually sounds like. I'm super excited to see what the new Parallel Universe 2 Troublemaker Tele Deluxes with humbuckers sound like.
Old and real burst les Paul sound more like telecaster ! 😉
lessisgroove Paul Reed Smith once said Les Pauls and old Teles sound alike,
Having played originals they do sound similar
Especially on the neck pick up, that is what you want: “a telecaster, on steroids” 😁
That's why Page has used em live almost exclusively, I think. He rarely recorded with an LP. Usually teles and the dano. But the humbuckers were better for playing live.
I would buy the Epiphone, purple, Danish Pete, Les Paul with signature pickups. Sign me up for the waiting list.
I once passed up a Gibson Les Paul R6 gold top in Boston Guitar Center.. the serial number was R6 606 .. the Gibson rep was in store and was basically selling everything thing off cheap.. I um’ed and are’d.. put it back .. and walked out.. but.. I couldn’t stop thinking about the guitar.. two days later I called the store from the UK and it had been sold. I still cry myself to sleep at night. So whenever you find “that” guitar and you have the funds - buy it. Trust me.. it’s not worth the pain and tears not too.. ps.. if you have that guitar.. I need it.
Agreed, just done that with an Eastman SB57. Didn’t want to have any regrets. Beast guitar!
Nikoo033 congrats on buying a new guitar.. with any new high end purchases..there’s always gonna be buyers remorse after.. but this fades into endless joy of opening a case and being confronted with a pro toy. Keep playing !
@@Nikoo033 , Audioist passed up a real American made classic, and you think your Chinese cheapie is something special?
@@MarcJBeard what "high end purchase"? He bought Chinese junk.
@@Nikoo033 Congrats man, hope you're enjoying it
Lee still has a killer Les Paul and if he doesn't want it anymore I will take it off his hands free of charge ;)
I'll go one up on that one and will pay shipping lol.
I’ve watch this video many times. And I never get tired of hearing that Murphy guitar ! these guys make a really great team as well love these guys !
Love these kind of videos. I picked up a Standard 60's Bourbon Burst this year, wow, not only is it one hell of a looker but it plays like a dream. Cheers guys.
I preferred lee’s bridge pup for sure.
You just need a new neck pup, or try changing the pole screw heights. Such a classic Les Paul issue to be fair. Clarity on the neck pickup is pretty rare.
I’ve just finished mucking around with the pickup height and pole pieces and made my neck pickup sound much clearer.
James Wharf I had a similar result, but then I pissed around with the bridge pickup and it’s quacky now lol
GAS Mojo Competitions I have that issue with my les Paul and 335. Clean tones always sound quacky to me on the bridge.
Lee’s bridge PU+Pete’s neck PU would be ideal imho.
18:02 Insert Spinal Tap meme here 🎸🤘😎
Absolutely swooning over these guitars BTW... 🤤🤤🤤
@Andy Guitar Hi
I've been looking at LPs for awhile now and am going to get one soon and this just made me want it even more
I like the intro jam and decided to record my own version, then improvise like a Captain (without his talent for catching the right notes but in my overused minor pentatonic), then I analysed Petes licks and ... Had a revelation how easily he played with the thirds and seventh that makes him play major or minor or both! Definitely sounds that I'm used to... But I didn't realised where they were from and that I wasnt able to get out of my guitars, till tonight! Thank you!!
I brought home a 2018 R9 this year and there is definately something special about the clarity of the latest gibsons. You still have to be careful and try as many as you can.
I like the sound of The Captain's Les Paul better, that smooth sound is what I'd want from a Les Paul
I absolutely LOVE seeing/hearing the stories of a given axe journey.
It took me longer than your ol’ mate Mick Taylor to find “My Strat” and I’m currently on the hunt for a 335.
Great stuff fellas! Cheers!
29:35 This is the defining moment. That chord sold me. It's as if 6 notes singing in harmony together. The clarity and mid punch. Ooooooof..... Such an amazing Les Paul.
I've played Lee's Les Paul. It's a great guitar.
No way? Haha. Ace
I played his Daisy Rock. That one actually rips!
Unpotted pickups is probably one of the biggest reasons that Pete's guitar sounds so dang good. My dad has a set of Custombuckers in his Tokai and it it seriously contends with guitars that are 5x as expensive.
Agree 100%.
I've got unpotted Custombuckers in my Wildwood Select Standard '50s. It's my favorite guitar to play, closely followed by my Goldtop with P-90's.
Love watching you two guys jam, just two happy blokes playing very beautiful guitars creating a little bit of magic! Great sounds from both and I bet they feel like just magic in your hands, one day I will own a guitar of that calibre!! First to become a better player first!!
Lee, Your'e playing has really become stellar. Wonderful to watch this growth over the years!
“This year is the 70th anniversary of the 1960....”
Lol
Well if he could count, he'd probably be a drummer.
LOL

@@chrisbenson673 To be fair, as a guitarist I only learned the alphabet up to G.
The best Les Pauls always sound like a super fat Telecaster anyway.
And don't forget, nothing has sold more les pauls than Jimmy Page's tele sounds
I abolutely agree
Yeah heard that! Never tried a tele! I am buyin' and flipping guitars till I get the holy grail.
I agree. That’s how I picked my Heritage Les Paul. It sounds like a tele on steroids!
These are some of my favorite videos you guys do. Talking about specs. Playing. BS’ing. It’s very zen. I like both of your Les Pauls. Both are baby angels.
Wow, great playing by both of you in the intro!
I know I like the Captain’s 58 Les Paul. I wonder if this video will change my mind...
OK. Nope.
Pete’s is too clear to me - bordering on Telecaster sound.
I dig the fuller sound of the Lemon burst.
I don't even like LPs but Pete's has me drooling. That thing sounds like a massive Tele and I love it.
3:40 so true, I played my 05' standard that had a 60's slim taper profile for over 10 years and swore by it. When I bought my Monty Bluesmaster, it had a 59' profile neck and it was so comfortable and my hand just got used to it within a week.
I’ve got one of the Pod XT Live units, still going strong. I still mourn the day I failed to purchase a twice the price Les Paul Heritage in Andertons about 15 years ago that was 3 x better sounding than the standard Les Pauls. The difference in sound was incredible.
I always found the guitars that were louder acoustically tended to sound best plugged in.
Probably not including hollow guitars.
@@johndolores315 No I'm just talking solid body electrics
During the intro I thought it was the difference in amps as Pete's sounded clearer and really bloomed. But plugged into the same amp the tone followed the guitar.
If it were a tool I used for my work it's definitely worth the extra price. But, at my skill level the difference world would never be noticed.
pick-ups and pots make a big difference, pick-up height changes how mine sounds, its crazy. even the pick you use changes the sound some. should try messing around at home with just different picks and picks with points, different thickness, kinda crazy. mess around with your picks, and adjusting your pick-up height.... could get lost doing that lol
Good stuff lads, really enjoyed that. Enlightening indeedy.
I have a 2019 58 Reissue that is 8 pounds 2 ounces and rings out like an acoustic. Pete’s guitar reminds me of how mine sounds.
Sometimes the wood gods shine down on a guitar build.
Mine is also a 2019 ‘58 reissue. 8lbs, 3oz. Great acoustic response and “fat Tele” pickups that really cut.
Absolutely this. It was the Wood Gods that got me into Telecasters. I always thought Teles were "cowboy guitars" and had no interest at all in 'em. Walked into a shop one day in the early 2000s and there was a cheap, Fender Japan Tele hanging on the wall selling for the equivalent of US$440. I asked to play it and it was the most resonant electric guitar I've ever played. Loud and proud. It came home. Creeping up on 20 years later, it's got '64 Pure Vintage pickups and CTS pots in it and it is sonic heaven through a dimed Marshall. My Les Paul Special Tribute is a similar story in that it's just so beautifully alive. And the P-90s are magic. LOLsigh "Guitars ..."
The captain always sounds so good, blues in his bones man.
I live in India and play left handed. Its really difficult for me to get guitars. I saw these two play the SG tribute and standard models last year. I then looked for the guitars online, kept track of the number of pieces and picked the last remaining piece on a work trip to the US (I actually placed my order at the airport right before getting on my plane).
After this video, I have a feeling I'm going to start looking for a Les Paul. **intense spy movie music plays in the background**
where did you buy the Les Paul from ?
I gotta find someone I can trust enough to jam with. You guys (and Dan and Mick) inspire me.
So weird, Andertons hasn't been in my feed lately. Good to see you both! Hope you're safe and healthy!
Clapton had no TH-cam to gas over tones, he bought the amp and guitar he could barely afford and now we are coveting his sound on the Beano album. You make the best out of what you’ve got!
Last time I was this early, I ended up with a daughter 9 months later
congrats sir
Hey man Congratulations on your daughter! I hope she becomes a better guitar player than you.
Enjoyed that - thanks guys! Pete’s is a nice guitar but Lee, you have a fantastic beast of a guitar too - it’s how the guitar feels when you’re playing it as much as anything else. As others have noted, pickup height can make a big difference even before you start changing pots, wiring and actual PUs etc.
Love the video. Could setup have anything to do with the difference ? Pickup height etc?
Lee's '58 sounds and seems to play great for £3.5k. More than good enough for most guitarists. But Pete's £10k slayer of a guitar is a one of a kind piece...truly! It's like fine art, never to be replicated. Worth it if you can afford...even if it's just barely!
Both Lee and Danish Pete have great sounding LPs but I think Danish Pete's has a certain "X" factor. While there are many contributing factors of why a guitar sounds a certain way I'm sure DP's LP has markedly different pickups, pots and caps than Lee's. Recently, I swapped out the pickups and electronics with my LP and I was reminded by how much they affect your tone rather than incidental things like finish.
Thanks for mentioning that movie DUAL! Been ages since I saw that. I love my '59 LP Re-issue.
They're both are amazing sounding guitars I was never a Les Paul guy but you guys are making me want to buy one damn 😎👍
Hahahaha - Lee tapping his watch to try to get Pete to shut up!! Didn’t even get a chance to wrap up the story for him!! Pete is all over the damn place. Somebody give him a joint or something before these shoots.
Ask any racing team what it cost to get an extra fraction of a second a lap. The extra 1% on the guitar is absolutely worth it.
Good analogy!
@@PaulMcCaffreyfmac rock n roll is a contact sport if your doing it right ;)
Only if like Pete you can make the most of it!
Watching this after watching the shoot at the Gibson showroom that recently released, is cool. Listening to you guys describe the neck pickup on Pete's guitar being perhaps lower output, then seeing Sam measure them to only find out that Pete's has higher output, was very interesting. Between that, the unplugged acoustic superiority of Pete's, and Pete's being a full pound lighter... it absolutely has to be the porosity of the wood.
Pete, do you still have the blue Strat you played with The A Kittens in mid 2000's? if so I'd love to see it in an Andertons vid sometimes. Looks exactly like my "85 that was stolen many years ago. I miss it. Thx Man.
"That's because Noel Gallagher came to the store". I thought this was going to be one of Lee's dumb jokes or something at first. Then I was like, "oh, he's serious". That's really cool.
It was cool. I wonder how many other famous guitarists go to Andertons .
Why didn't you invite Noel to the video shoot? Just a thought.
@@itsmorphed6416 I think Eric Clapton is a regular customer there.
The story of how Pete lost his job at Anderton’s...
Seems like Tom Murphy knows what he does. The first thing in the video that I spotted was that the guitar looks like it's very old but well kept or it's a relic with a brilliant taste, where you notice it's aged but doesn't look like someone was paid to relic it (ruin it). So fine and mild relicing. I'm 100% relicing has a place, because no guitar that was new in the store felt right to me, it always felt like a new store guitar, alien. But when you've had it for a year or two at home, it starts to feel comfortable and cozy. Same for used guitars.
When talking about "is it worth it", it's like if you have the itch for that specific one, you can't replace it with something you can afford better. You just have to give up. If you have an itch for les paul you probably can have something cheaper, but if you find the one, you have to get it or give up. It's not about "is that 1% more worth it" but "I have to have that exact thing". You don't get it for that 1% but because nothing else will do.
If it's worth anything, I like Cap's guitar better visually and tonally :) But the psychology is too strong, after you guys said Pete's is better, I started asking myself if Cap's guitar is really better. Don't let yourself get into that mode, you'll just make wrong decisions.
I am privileged enough to live near Wildwood guitars and I had a similar experience with a TM aged Les Paul. I have played so many LPs over the years and I have never really found the “one”. I went in to buy a 2019 59 custom shop 60th anniversary model and made the mistake of saying, hey can I try that one..... The guitar was so good, I compartmentalized the cost in my brain to pull the trigger on it. I paid less for my original 58 Les Paul serial 8 3310. I actually wore an Andertons t-shirt that day. They gave me a Wildwood t-shirt when I left.
Both sound great , but my vote goes for Lee’s LP. The captain axe sound very much like the sound I love from les Paul’s . The right amount of gain pushing the amp . .... marvelous
I think this is the point where we all as amateur musicians need to stop obsessing over tiny sonic differences. I gotta stop watching endless gear nerd videos and just practice
lol, they spent soo much money for ppl to scratch their guitars, 50 pedals, boutique amps to play a C chord that sounds dirty clean.... idk.... my set-up sounds better for me.... i got a $200 dollar harley benton les paul and a boss katana, and i play to everything from ac/dc to metallica and i can make it sound pretty much like everything i want. these guys that get stuck in "idk wtf i spent money on this its the same as other stuff pretty much" mentality. be humble, eddie van halen can take a cheap ass whatever, plug it into a sht speaker and still sound like eddie van halen. i always think about that.
J B ....AGREED....well said my man!!!!
@@JB-ju4ev I don't understand why people feel the need to mock others for how much they've spent on their gear. It just sounds insecure and petty regardless of what side of the price tag you're on. Just enjoy what you enjoy. (Not attacking you J B, I just mean in general)
@@Emogal1991 my comment was for the ppl that dont have much, and still you can play if its in you. you read it wrong. dont talk to me anymore pls
@@JB-ju4ev I was agreeing with you, sorry if it came off another way!
Love this and the other video featuring Pete’s “automobile priced” LP. One thing I’ll say, as an owner of a 2008 Traditional and now a 2020(?) Tradition Pro V…don’t underestimate the impact of dialing in your pickup height and the individual pole pieces as well. I bet you could “open up” Lee’s sound if you adjusted the pickup and pole heights. After I spent some time dialing in both of mine it’s exactly what I want to hear out of a LP when I play it.
Great video. Really enjoyed this one.
There were times where Pete’s guitar sounded a bit clearer, but the Captain’s 58 just rocks something special. I don’t think the Tom Murphy is better, I’d take the 58 and not because of the price difference. Great video!
Duel was a "Made for TV Film" it was the first full length film by Stephen Spielberg. Written by Richard Matheson. Starred Dennis Weaver.
And directed by Spielberg.
watch maximum overdrive, its pretty entertaining. plays a lot of ac/dc and cool kills, cool trucks and cars, some decent acting from amillio estavez. reminds me of a game called twisted metal. wish they'd make that a movie.
Great video. Not watching this for the first time. It would be interesting if you could tell us which pick ups are in both guitars?
What a great video! 2 beautiful guitars! This is the second time this week I’ve heard Tom Murphy Gibson’s (Mick from That Pedal show has borrowed one!) I think I might have to try one of these out! But I’m worried what the bank manager will say?! Lee I hope Andertons has some 10year payment plans on!
No body:
Pete starts playing in the intro
Subtitles: laughter
Chilling with my epi! 😂
I’ve played a few TM Les Pauls and never thought to much of them. My CC#15 beats all but the 2 ‘59s I’ve had my hands on.
Hi Guys, thats awesome 🤘 please can you tell me which guitar stool Brand you guyes User?
Before I watch, I’m going to say that Pete’s sounds better because of the darker burst 😉
The more burst the better the sound xD
Blackout everyone knows that’s how you get TONE
LEMON BURST RULES
Tone Burst!
tone colors!
Lee, take your les Paul to Monty’s, get him to put his repro paf in, you will save 6,000$.
I ordered two sets for my CS 2013 and 2016 R9’s, best decision ever. EVER!!!
Pots matter too. I am in Canada, so was a gamble for me that paid off. I had a volume pot measure 410k, changed it to 520k and also improved it
I had an LTD 401fm with the 36th pickups. They were fantastic pickups in that guitar.
CS Les Paul’s are killer guitars. Check out Sunbear PAF pickups too. Outstanding.
G. V. Q full Monty’s solve that problem, I have them too! But his PAF’s are not low out put either.
Kenth Hamner Personally I like their PAF 59’s!
To me they have that Les a Paul sound that I have in my head!
Kept my standard Gibson pups in my 2016 Ebony LP and ditched the complete harness and board (😖) out for an Australian “Jucy Guitar” 50’s harness with POI capacitors. $200 Au well worth the investment because it fixed my crappy electrical issues crackle and now sounds the way I want it. Same result as a custom shop for way less money..🇦🇺👍
I'm not one for relic guitars at all, but whenever I see a Tom Murphy aged Les Paul they always look absolutely incredible
Absolutely brilliant video!
Danish Pete is the best Andertons guest;
Great dynamic between the two, friendship wise & Captain feels in his element, with this kind of tone they're going for, rather than the Heavy Metal Chapman or Rabea bring to the mix.
But now do they compare to my 2008 Epiphone Standard? Get on my level.
I have an 08 studio and absolutely love it. Would love to play a "high end" one to see if it puts my studio to shame.
I'd love to see you guys demo some Guilds. I almost pulled the trigger on a Starfire V, but since I couldn't demo one and there were no proper demo/reviews I decided against it.
I feel like Pete just likes the sound of single coils and has spent £10,000 to get the Les Paul that sounds the least like a Les Paul.
Dude, original PAFs actually DID sound single coil-ish, like a Tele on steroids.
@@mattthrun-nowicki8641 Exactly. Lover wasn’t trying to change the tone of the P90 when he invented the PAF, just buck the hum. That’s the magic
Dude, you don't have to spend 10K. You can pick up an R8 for a mere 4K :) Even better get the '68 reissue with the ebony board. They have even more bite.
@@lfscrazy NAH
Nah sounds closer to actual PAF's you have no idea what you're talking about
Pete’s for me. Mind you, I love both. Just the finish tilts it for me.
I’ve owned lots of LPs from all eras and I found the biggest changes were in the pick ups rather than the woods, stains, lacquers etc. I ended with just one 1960 LP what would be called today tobacco burst and tiger stripes dependent on the light.
It really is about feel though and personal taste I actually play a Jarrett with SD antiquities.
Lemme bring mine too, oh! wait........
we need stickers..."my other guitar is a 58 historic"
Say what you want about the guitars. All I know is Lee consistently has the better tone in most jams
Hey Lee, you can try to messure the volumen pots and match yours. After this other pickups or pickup adjustment. Maybee 10-52 Strings?
Great vid guys.
So excited just bought my first LP Standard 2009 in mint condition with a awsome flame top. Originaly a Tele guy I just can't put down my LP and this makes Miss Tele jalous.
Would love to see a 50’s or 60’s standard thrown in this mix as well
I was watching another of their vids and a great point was given...If you buy a 50's or 60's standard and you cant afford a custom then never try a custom lol. This will be the exact reason why I won't be trying a custom as I've bought a 50's standard sunburst, unless I win the lottery. lol.
@@bamber119 agreed. Bet you're perfectly happy with your standard 50s? Like any normal person would be. No need to spoil it for yourself by trying a custom
The Les Paul. For me the greatest guitar ever. Followed by the 335. And yes, I am a Gibson fan.
Yep. Fun guitar.
i would love to know ... what pedals it suited so pretty well with yous LP's in this video !!!! Wow ...
Greetings from Portugal ...
Andertons Rocks !!!!
Gotta admit, I’m much more inspired by Lee’s 594 and Pete’s Paul’s guitar! Would love to see a video comparing the two!
I absolutely LOVE the lemon burst, it reminds me of Jimmy Page’s number one!
isnt there a purple colored les paul?
Pete's guitar just sounds brighter. That high-end clarity might be more pleasing to the ear, but Lee's has more of a true vintage sound.
In all, the difference is worth nowhere near twice as much! You're paying for the aging.
its quite easy to make the guitar brighter with some changes. the one guitar is heavier than the other (more sustain) and alone changing the
Bridge and Pots will bring it to 99% same soundwise.
I’d also look at adjusting pickup pole screws…makes a HUGE difference in clarity
At the end of the day its just about how you connect with a guitar. I bought my Les Paul Standard from Andertons during lockdown and did it purely on how it looked. Mad decision I know and didnt realise it weighed over 10 lbs until i got it. However i love it to bits and I think if you real have an affinity with a guitar it will always sound better to yourself than any other one.......By the way Andertons, happy to send you mine to review!!!!
