@@z4kq1 I’d never pay full price, and never any Custom Shop stuff. The most I ever paid was $2200 for a used one with a really pretty top. It was unique because it was a Standard with a three piece top and gold hardware. The cheapest one was a 1974 Deluxe that I bought about 1984 in a pawnshop for $175.

After years (decades) of on-and-off playing, I started to get really excited by actually learning and practicing again, and decided to treat myself. I went out to shop for a versatile all-rounder - a guitar that would be "my guitar", not the start of a collection. I was thinking Tele (or something of similar layout). Maybe Strat, but probably Tele. A workhorse. I played loads, and finally had it down to a Tele Custom - one single, one bucker. At the last minute, I asked if there was anything else I should try. "Try that Les Paul - the pickups are wicked." A second hand, entry level Les Paul (a 2017 "Faded") was passed to me, and it was like Gibson had measured my fingers and built me a guitar. I'm pretty terrible, but everything I can play, I could play. It just flowed out of my hands. The guitar didn't get in the way. Other customers stopped browsing to ask what I was playing. I went in for a versatile, does-everything Tele, but went home with a Les Paul.

Here is a tip for the pesky G string. Increase the angle from the nut to the tuner by adding extra windings when stringing your guitar. Here is how to do that. Take the G string, pull it tight through the tuning machine hole with your right hand. Then, take your left thumb and index finger and pull the string back 2 1/2 frets. This gives you some slack. Bend the string forward around the tuning peg so it doesn't slip. That is the amount of string you want to wind around your tuning machine in single wind fashion. This means that you want the windings to not overlap each other, but continuously go down the tuning peg. That will increase the lean angle of the string and help with the pesky G string going out of tune. It is true that the best headstock designs have the strings running straight from the nut to the tuning peg. However, this will help.

My main reason for prefering Fenders is that bolt-on necks can be swapped out and/ or adjusted for tilt and action. I've made custom strats out of mahogany, equipped with humbers and single coils, and conversion scale necks that can produce tones almost identical to my Les Paul. Less weight, more comfortable, easier to mod, less expensive. No brainer. I've owned well-over 50 electric guitars over the past 60+ years and my tele is still my favorite. Sorry Gibson fanboys!

I own 2x LP HP models (a Studio and a Standard) and have had zero G String issues - possibly due to the Titanium Zero Fret Nut. I was rather anti-Gibson until I bought one and played it for a while. Now, I really love them. Not sure if it's just the HP models but I can get super low action on my guitars (same, if not better than some of my Ibanez Jems...). Tonally, very little sounds like a Les Paul. My Studio (490R/498T) has the more 'traditional' 70's rock tone that I associate with Gibson - it's killer. The Standard (Burstbucker Pros) is 'brighter'/more versatile. Either way, lots of options on both using the Tone controls and mixing the pup levels. I'm a convert!

However, resale on them is quite good because so many people like them, history, heritage, etc, something to remember.

The "Gibson Tone" that Many guitar players want. (like British Invasion greats had) = a number of things added together. Pickups and wood matter. But Near as important The 50s-60s Burst tone was also from the combination of certain metals used in Bridge the posts the thumbwheels Tailpiece and studs. I have tried it on a few older guitars and one new Standard. It Makes a Big difference to My ear. Gibson Stopped using their great parts in the early 60s, On a Standard the good ones are Solid Brass Posts and thumbwheels for an aluminum composite bridge with Brass saddles An Aluminum Tailpiece with steel studs and bushings. It works so good on Gibsons I bet a less costly Guitar like newer Epiphone would also sound much better with that parts upgrade. The upgrade can be done as cheap as 50-100 dollar range for all the parts.

In 2012 I bought a new Les Paul Studio in Wine Red with a case and a set-up for £850 and now they are double that without a case, the prices are too much. I have quite a few import copies of different models and they are just as good as the LP, yes they have a different sound but I can get extremely close to the Les Paul sound with my EQ pedal, I don't though, the reason I bought them was for their differences. When you buy a Gibson Les Paul you are paying a premium just for the name, US labour, advertising, distribution and that's all before your retailer puts their profit on there, it is possible to buy a very good guitar and bypass most if not all of those costs!

G-String tuning issues: Of course I know it … but let me tell you my personal experience: It’s always “setup” or overall quality of the instrument. I own for the first time ever a custom shop Gibson and this one has absolutely no intonation issues at all. I can bend the hell out of this thing… nothing happens to the tuning stability. The same thing is with my second Gibson, who is a real vintage 50’s Gibson Jazz Guitar. No issue at all! Absolutely 0% problems around tuning and intonation. If your Gibson just don’t stay in tune or the G-String is making trouble … it’s poor overall quality of the parts, or a bad setup… that’s at least my experience after more than 20 years doing this. Get a professional setup and let a high skilled tech working on it. I love Gibson 🤝 And it’s always possible to get em working good 👍😎

(Both made 85 and created a great life, so more reason to celebrate than grieve.) I wanted an instrument that was visually stunning (have always found LP’s to be really, well, pretty) but capable of churning out Jimmy Page devil chords on command, something heavy in my hands and weighty around my neck, so when I’m playing, I’m very present. Thought I’d leave GC with a cherry burst Standard-brought a wicked shredder buddy to help-but found a Honeyburst Classic that made my fingers feel more capable. My ma and I got Honeybear, the Havi pictured at left, and he was with us 3 years, so the burst and the Bear seemed cool, as well. Now, we’ve been bachelors for 3 years. Got my 1st Strat in March. Am. Pro. II with roast pine body. I love it, too. So, light and smooth it almost feels like a toy. However, when I need to tackle some awkward deep emotions, that Gibson is the medicine. 🙏🏽✌🏽💙 from Minnesota

My LP stays in tune on all strings, get the nut cut right and use some grease in the slots

Use a sharp #2 pencil and apply the lead into the nut slots, on a plastic nut also use a bit of vaseline or any thick hand lotion into the slots along with the pencil lead to help keep the lead from falling out of the slots.

go to an auto parts store and get a small tube of powdered graphite. Cheap and will last forever

I have an Epiphone Special 2 from the 70's, I think. I love it, and never had a problem. I'd never be able to afford, or justify, buying a new Gibson though. I'm too "logical and practical".

@guitarwalljams well, I'm not a youtuber.. but I agree 100%.. how much semi-budget gear can be bought for the new price of particular high end guitars would make good viewing.. im sure there's many more examples to be found.

You can also add quality some I've picked up I did not enjoy at all, but the ones I have really liked I can let them go.

I have an Xaviere pro 555 with a Floyd rose and I love it the G string does go out of tune here and there but I feel for stuff like Guns N Roses and also look at Neal Schons Gibson he made them his own by adding a sustainer and Floyd rose and custom neck joint he requested when they made his signature models

6th Reason - You can get a Strandberg for the same or even lower price, but you will actually pay for the quality, sound and ergonomic design, just for a great instrument that weighs 5 lbs, not for the brand, history and magic "tonewood".
