The Les Paul that isn’t. Why your LP can’t sound vintage, and how to fix it.

Part One of a four part series: So, you paid thousands of dollars for your Les Paul. It says Les Paul on the headstock, right? But side by side with a vintage LP, yours doesn’t sound anywhere nearly as good. There are REASONS you didn’t get what you PAID for. The reason is corporate greed. Budge parts, budget harness, and marketing deception. A “Reissue“ that is nothing like what they tell you the guitar is. With little money and time invested you can bridge that gap very effectively. The parts are mostly the wrong materials, the physical design of the parts can be way WRONG. There is little attempt to make a real Les Paul, the goal is highest profits, and good looks. Authenticity is barely even looked at. Your guitar can only sound like an original if the harness is 100% right materials, if the very important hardware is right materials, right physical design. But none of it IS. In these videos, I show you the conversion of a stock ’60 VOS from 2014, having everything Gibson did wrong, FIXED. You get to hear before and after. Too many try to make their LP sound better by purchasing oddball hardware, like solid steel ABR1 bridges, brass tailpieces, taking you further and further away from that great vintage sound you crave. Watch and learn. Part two coming in a couple months. SUBSCRIBE SO YOU DON’T MISS OUT.
