- This time at Guitarpoint we'll be comparing two original vintage Gibson Les Pauls, a 1954 and a 1956. They differ in their bridge system. And this has a certain effect on the sound and resonance of the structure. I'm playing a vintage Marshall amp and in the second part of the video I'll be playing a Pipper Raptor amp that is simply speechless. And of course, I will compare the sound of these vintage goldtops with my Les Paul Javelin, which has a set of 8Bomb Goldie PAF pickups installed. Enjoy!

Great Comparison! I have found that guitars equipped with the more basic Stop Bar Tailpiece are usually more resonate, Bigger sounding, & more alive overall when compared to the ABR-1 bridge. I always assumed it's because it is a more direct connection from the strings to the wood!
Yes, I also like the stop bar better. brighter attack and more harmonics. It's really better than a telecaster.
Great comparison and as soon as you plugged in to that combo that was THE sound! Thank you for all your video's and inspiration you provide!
Thank you
That Pipper combo is very impressive not to mention those Les Pauls
Love the 54. So resonant.
I have a 99 Gibson CS 54 Goldtop , it’s starting to relic very nicely now.
But the sound is incredible.
Cheers and thanks for sharing your experience with us 😎🎸
Wow thank you so much, that was absolutely beautiful!
Thank you
You are the best at early les paul info! Keep making these videos !!!
Good Dr., do you happen to know what had been done to the '56 which resulted in the diagonal holes in the bridge section? Almost like it had a wrap around.
Had a Bigsby at one time .
It is a snake bite from Bigsby
@@8BombCustom Ah, I've never had a Bigsby. I thought they required larger holes.
@@jltrem Bigsby was an additional customization. It is held on by two small screws on the top and four around the bottom button. It looks cool and sounds interesting in terms of its effect on the frequency characteristics of the resonance. But unfortunately Bigsby is too heavy and doesn’t hold the formation very well.
Wow !! The low mid bark is to die for ! No plugin in the world will give you this !
I disagree. I’m not hearing anything here that I can’t get with Tonocracy/NAM or ToneX. The only difference is that I don’t/don’t have to do it at huge volumes.
That 54 really stood out . Very strong and detailed .That would be my pick .
I'm always happy when you post a video! The '54 wins this battle in my opinion. The neck pickup has amazing clarity and presence.
sweet playing, great vid
Thank you
In general I prefer Wrap around bridge from '54, I think it has better sound transfer to the body, it is just my idea of it, I never played one, but maybe there is something to it..
You are totally right!
Ca envoi fort la 54
One could See the 1954 excitement
Love that 54
Very noticeable difference in tone, the ‘54 all day long for me.
Just so I understand, Does "I have no words" mean you like the 54 the best????? Thanks!
I like Pipper amplifier. And 54 too.
Р90 - рулят!!
Сначала подумал, что эпичный момент видео - это вытирание потной руки об жопу в начале 10-й минуты... потом услышал ФАК на 11-й минуте и перерешил... авобще - лицо Алексея говорит обо всем.
For those about to rock - we salute you!
