    Great video Peter. Everything that you, and all of the others who left comments, said is absolutely true and perfectly describes what a diverse group guitar lovers are. If it wasn’t so we’d all want to play the same guitar and wouldn’t know the joy of playing the eclectic range wonderful instruments that are available to us. (Got a bit wordy there, Peter, sorry about that!)

    When I got my first Standard it made my Mexican Strat feel like an art project trying to be a guitar. Changed me from a through and through fender guy to an LP player overnight

      @user-xp3wq1id8s Hahaha 😆 user-xp. That's a bit harsh on the old strat but I know what you mean. Awesome power in the LP for sure with a depth of tones as well. Thanks for watching, cheers 🍻.

    If it makes you happy, it's a good guitar and worth the price. Both sounded very good. Congrats

    The Gibson Les Paul has the dignity and majesty of a king. And the Yamaha Revstar has the charm of a well-working knight. (From Japan, submitted via a translation app).

    i think with the gibson and fender custom shop guitars,its the feel and playability that make them different from standards.still a lot of cash though!

    I have 2 Revstars, the p90 and the humbucker versions and they are my only 2 guitars now. You can pay more but you won’t get more.

      I think it's wise to compare the Yamaha to whatevers Pinnacle'ing... I personally was impressed by a guitar Yamaha built that had a 5 way rotary switch...the rotary switch maybe useless with P90's idk....

  • @robertcarey3383
    @robertcarey3383 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I like the sound of the p-90 pick-ups in the Revstar but I don't really care for the body shape, The funny thing about Guitars is you have to like the guitar to want to play it. I have a Gibson SG I bought new in 1984 and I absolutely love it, and I have a Les-Paul Studio that sounds really good, but I don't like the looks, or the weight and I never play it. It appears like your Gibson has everything going for it fantastic looks, weight, and sound. Time to start learning some Led Zeplin, Free, Gary Moore licks because that is what that guitar was meant to play. I subscribed so I can keep an eye on your progress.

    • @riffcodger
      @riffcodger  หลายเดือนก่อน

      @robertcarey3383 Haa yes Robert, you are so right. I love an sg too, I've had a few. I saw Free play back in 1970 and kossoff has always been one of my absolute favourites. I used to think it was relatively easy stuff but I've been struggling with it lately. But that LP definitely has the tone. I'll do my best. Thanks for the sub. Greatly appreciated.

    I think any guitar that costs more than 3000 quid is a complete ripp off unless it is a custom made guitar or extremely vintage . I have 6 high end Ibanez hollow and semie hollow guitars. An AS200; two GB10's from 1980 and 3 Scofield sinature guitars. They were are all between 2000 and 3000 quid when I bought them. Much better instruments than any Les Paul or 335's I ever owned in the past. However. I got myself the sunburst revstar recently. Same one you've got. Different colour. For some reason I pick that one up the most. I bought it second hand for 400 quid and cannot put it down. I had a frettlevel and set it up to perfection with D'Addarios 11's ballanced tension. Medium action. I play mainly Jazz and fusion. That guitar is a dream to play. You've got a Strat; a Tele, a Les Paul, a PRS and a 335 in one instrument. Most versatile Guitar I ever owned. The neck is just a dream to play. I will get myself the humbucker version for Christmas. These guitars are totally unterrated and worth 4 Times the price. The Gibson Logo never did it for me.

      @ReinholdBinder-d9n thank you so much for sharing Rheinhold, you have some excellent instruments. And yes I think the revstar is under rated too. Cheers 🍻
