ha ha ...just checked in to enjoy this one more time :) this must be the ultimate les paul. I "only" got a 2013 standard but it will do.. :)
Absolutely GREAT DEMO BTW!
Yes Seymour Duncan Pearly gates is the best guitar pick up on the planet
Who is still listening to that TONE in the intro in 2020?
Right here. This is THE tone I set as a benchmark when trying new settings on my amp and pedals.
It kinda surprises me that people love this tone so much. I always figured someone interested in this guitar would want, "bluesy" tones. This tone is quite heavy actually.
Taco Conch agreed
Well it kinda just stops you in your tracks don’t you think? You might not be looking for it, but when you hear it?
For me, it just resonates in my bones...maybe it’s an old guy thing 😊
@@paulsmith721 I think since this sound is coming from a Fender, most people accept it and love it. If the same exact sound was coming from a Mesa Boogie, they'd probably not like it as much. Even though a Mesa Boogie Rectifier could put out a better sound, in my opinion.
they should relic it by having it be the demo guitar at guitar center.
I know that this is an old comment but damn dude you got me falling out of my chair laughing so true man
Take the toggle switch tip off too
@@gregoryirwin263 ..haha,the 7year old comment is killing me too,bro! Haha!😅🤣😂
The demo that’s sold as new with no box or case.
All these years later and this is still my favorite TH-cam video!
good fucking lord, that "just got paid" tone...
Unbelievable.
I came in my pants from that tone.
I gotta get that tone. Anyone know of any pedals? Lovepedal high power tweed twin, les lius, catalinbread formula 5 all emulate tweed amps, anyone have any personal experience with those?
Not being a ZZ Top connoisseur, I read that comment and thought "that's an awesome way to describe a tone." It probably should be used as such. I agree, insane tone.
I got it! Well pretty close, bought a blues jr NOS and keep it cranked. Does a pretty damn good job
Holly sh**, that sound! One of the best sounding guitars I ever heard. First 50 seconds are insane.
sersiouly played the intro like a hundred times nice playing
it is pretty good......even though it's 50 seconds.....I wish I can make an mp3 of it so I can blare that in my bluesmobile.....a piece of shit 1996 Buick Century which driver's side door is being held by an old guitar cable.
Five years later and it's still holy shitballs good
Agreed
If I could afford this guitar, I would own this guitar. Stunning.
Just get the pearly Gates pickups for your guitar...
Goddammit, I love that tone.
Even 8 years later... such tone! :)
Good lord that TONE!!!
Hey, just wanted to thank you guys! Not only for the great sound and visual demo of this beauty but also for providing me with this information about that great axe! I am always on the search for great channels that show and play nice guitars. and with you guys, i have found one! greetings from germany!
subscribed!
Man! those some sweet chops you playin right there! Awesome job Joel. Very talented. Beautiful guitar!
Lot of hurt feeling in the comment section who don't quite understand what this guitar is. Like it or not its part collectors item, part instrument. Its a really nice Gibson Custom shop guitar for people who want a replica of one of the most iconic rigs out there. Cant pay the 14k over the price of a regular r9....well those are the breaks. Nothing wrong with a solid inexpensive guitar and nothing wrong with spending 20k on one if you have the dough.
HOLY SHIT THAT TONE. That Just Got Paid riff was absolutely astounding...
+Hunter Jones seymore duncans….ick
That tone is magic
some damn fine playing....and yes I listen very closely to these vintage guitars you play I dearly love the 58 custom 3 pickup , and the gibbons repro , as well the 60 les paul also.....you hve some indeed fine instruments and you play them very well....clean , dirty , or crunchy.....good player . keep the vids coming , thank you . you are a very fortunate man to be able to gain access to these fine guitars and play and sell them .
breathing heavily... i fell in love the moment you hit the string, the sound is AWESOME!
cheers to you sound ing, the editing and compresion on YT is soo good... good guitar too, beautifull
Amazing! The sound is unreal!
These videos just keep getting better and better
Awesome guitar and tone!!
The best playing I've seen/heard on a CME video. Excellent.
i love the top wrapped strings on the tail piece! definitely contributes to awesome tone (w/pearly gates pick ups) and play ability
Most ferocious sounding Les Paul I ever heard in my life!!!!
Pick closer to the bridge for some nastiness.
Love Waiting for the Bus!!!
Joel, Awesome, thanks for the video, Cousin Figel
I love how the video ends with Cheap Sunglasses. Great playing man.
All of this is playing is sooooo good. Have Mercy!
The most accurate Billy Gibbons sounds-like I have ever heard... Well done ^^
I just put SD Pearly Gates pick ups in my Epiphone LP and gutted the all the wiring, switches, pots everything. . Rewired it w good wires and did a 50s wiring setup and I get a very very close sound to his guitar. Turn on the fuzz face pedal and Billys sound comes screaming out of my Marshall amp.
Paid $500 for the guitar years ago plus about $200 for the pick ups and wiring and couldn't be happier with the sound.
Lord! That tone!! Guitar, pedal, amp. simple. Why do I keep buying gear?
"Just Got Paid," one of my all-time favourites. Then again, ALL the old ZZ Top stuff is "one of my all-time favourites," not that there's anything wrong with their more commercially successful stuff from the 80's/90's, even though it was very...well, "commercial."
Love the tone, feel and grit of Billy Gibbons' playing, try to recreate it as much as possible with my '93 PRS Custom 24, 1991 Godin Artisan ST-1 and Peavey Classic 50/4-10...yeah, it ain't an exact match, but it sure does sing!
that intro riff... amazing tone
That opening jam man, digging those grungy blues rock vibes
Sweet hell, that's a beautiful sounding guitar! Great playing, too!
This is the TONE I've been looking for!
This guitar sounds a lot like my 2014 LP Trad Pro II. It has that semi- "scooped mids" sound.
And if I'm going to play a beat-up worn guitar, I'll beat-up and put wear on that guitar myself.
+nitegoat1369 Can you show a video of yours?
+nitegoat1369 Don’t lie to us that way >:(
+Peter Adolph Michaelsen Zegarra I have no way of faithfully recording the sound of my 2014 Trad Pro II. I do not own any microphones, nor do I own an MBox or any other device to record my guitar. I refuse to use the microphone on my iPhone or Kodak flip camera.
Go try out a 2014 Trad Pro II for yourself, if you don't believe me.
Wow, gee wilikers. You must be so special, right?
nitegoat1369 right on!
I bought that guitar and it looks and sounds amazing
Yeah ya did!
Damn I love that tone...
This is the best review of a guitar on internet. Ever.
Amazing demo and great video. I miss Joel ⚡️
that amp sounds amazing!!!!
Lucky enough to have picked up a 67 SG many years ago for a song. All the electronics are original and she can sound very close if not just like this - loving' life.
Holy feck. That tone. Wow
This dude is a serious player.
Beautiful repro...Gibson Custom did their homework and it shows. Big fan of the right Rev. Willy G and ZZ Top....of all the "artist"-series Lesters they've done, THIS is the one I'd be willing to drop coin for. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.
Great guitar and player! Wicked licks
I know I'm late to the show, BUT...great demo, great playing!I want one!
Don't matter about being late son, important thing is you got here 👍
Good review. Awesome tone. I want it.
That's Jacked up with mojo Man! I know that Fandego LP pretty awesomely
Fantastic! Listen to that tone! Oh to be rich!
Wow great sounding guitar!
Thanks for going clean first for a reference point. Sounds great
great playing, love the guitar
Those pickups scream. I was on the fence about putting them in a PRS 245 Standard, but my mind is now made up. I'm going for it.
Magic. I played one of the Collector Choice Les Paul's and it was a pleasure. It was a Tom Murphy aged and it was just incredible. The attention to detail was stunning. It was plugged into 68 Plexi (the real deal, not a reissue) and it even had the original cloth covered cable. I can only imagine the way that the Pearly Gates sounds and plays. Wish I had $7000 to spend!
wow, what a super nice sound !
Wow congrats looks like you sold it! Somebody was super lucky... Can't wait till that somebody is me! Still congrats to CME and the buyer.
Awesome tone!
just got a fender with some pearly gates in the bridge. she sings like an angel.
which mic do you use for recording?
Hello there
man that is sooo sweet.
Been to alot of shows and amazing bands in bars and a few beers an ZZ-Top music makes gals go wild more than any other I have ever witnessed!
Yeah, sounds great.
Nice and thick sound.
This LP sounds thunderous.
Sick tone
Amazing!
couldn't agree with you more! i'll wear it in myself thank you
That tone!!
Thanks man!
Hollllllyyy shit. W headphones that opening was insane.
that guitar is a beast...nice playing
Sounds and looks pretty dang sweeet!!
Simplesmente um dos melhores timbres de guitarra que já ouvi.
Sa senhora
Such a nice guitar.
Wow dude, just wow.
Beautiful
Holy shit that guitar is awesome!
The Lespaul is great and all but damn CMC has the best video room and the ever talented Joel. I wish they'd do their recent videos on this particular video room.
i own a pearly gates hand built and painted by Tom Murphy made for the Japanese market and It's the best Les Paul I've ever played... and I've owned and played many Les Paul's.
amazing!!!!
Great organic tone!
Just ordered these pups for my PRS SE. Hope I'm not disappointed.
NoFap 365 How did they turn out?
Have Mercy !!! (waitin for the bus)
Very nice tone.
Fair enough, and it sure does look pretty.
Beauty!
Hey Chicago Music Exchange, what glass slide is that in the video? And what size?
Thanks
Love it.
Just saw this. The tune at 6:56 is Cheap Sunglasses from the Deguello album. Sounds like a great guitar - and will likely sound even better in person, when you can hear the full tonal range.
Great sound
i got a chance to play and it was the best guitar i have ever seen and played
thats a really good one. they probably got to pick from a few.
I own one of the 250 batch. Best Les Paul I've ever owned, and I've had a lot!
Awesome!!
I had two and agree ...I've tried many many of their custom shop lp's
So far they're the best I've played ...Great review
I own a VOS one and it absolutely has a mojo that other LPs I've played do not have. I also own an R7 and a Trad that are my gigging work horses and while they're good, they certainly don't feel like the Pearly Gates. My only regret is that while it's nice that these guitars have appreciated in value, it means that I very rarely gig it in case some drunken idiot knocks it off its stand.
I like the pedal with the demo.
Expectacularrrrr.Impresionante
That. Tone. My god. The. Tone. Is. Exquisite.
Hi, I have a PRS SE Custom which comes with an 85/15 pickup. I will be changing the neck pickup for a pearly gates. My PRS has coil splitting which makes it sound like single coil. I need advice on what pickup I need for the bridge. My style of music is gospel, but I will be using the bridge for my lead solos and my neck for the rhythm parts. That said, i want a hotter pickup for the bridge, a pickup that would give me more output in bridge position than the pearly gates at the neck. What pickup do you recommend for the bridge please? Nice playing by the way
