Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I have been impressed with it so far. It was set up fantastic for the 10s that were on it and of course needed minor tweaks for the custom set i installed. Cheers!

Hey Guys. I'm baaaack... I know there's no shortage of Theodore videos popping up, but if you get the chance or want to know more about the guitar, I've done a pretty extensive rip-apart of one just to see all the bells and whistles, as well as point out the differences between the Standard and the CS model when applicable. Anyway, hope this helps any prospective buyers. Cheers! Gibson Theodore Standard Deep Dive

62? 🤔 64 or 65, no?

🙋🏼‍♂️😳

Funny you ask, I compare the pickups to Custom Buckers in the video. Cheers!

Yeah. I did it. 🤫 Gibsons $1000 "1959 Humbucker" PAF in a $400 Guitar?!? https://youtu.be/FbHnPxxkX1I Cheers!

Don’t worry, I’m putting them in a guitar the instant that I can. 😜

Title says it all. What do you guys think? $1k for a pair. 😬

For me, this is one of the coolest guitars Gibson USA has ever released, and while it was a bummer they stopped making it in this finish, I’m also very grateful to have one as well knowing it was somewhat unique. I was very eager to see how similar or different than the Epiphone Slash Anaconda Burst it was. So I made yet another comparison video if anyone wants to check it out. cheers!

I gotta say, it's really a great guitar. I like it better than the brand new Studio Modern that is releasing soon, to be honest. Even with that studios Phase-reversal, solo switch, and coil tapping abilities, I find the Modern Lite to just be a no frills / no BS / rocker. Super comfortable, super good sounding, super solid! It didn't even occur to me until recently that it's pretty much the same build as the 2014 Melody Makers. Probably same tooling. Difference being those had a fat 50's and these are obviously Slim taper. Cheers!

Thanks for the compliments and for checking out the video! Halloween pickups - I was only commenting on both their assembly date being of 10/31 😛 Otherwise, they are just 498/490 combo that’s in all the studios. cheers!

You probably saw my other post. Probably also saw the link didn’t work. I had to re-edit the video and fix something and because YouT doesn’t allow that without a new URL…well, that’s why that link didn’t work. Anyway, I fixed this. here’s the new link for the upcoming Studio Modern guitar from Gibson. Bound compound radius ebony fretboard. Coil taps, phase reversal and solo switch. Heel carve. I think in particular, @SteveFord you were noticing the last link was removed. 2024 Les Paul Studio Modern Review

I know these pickups have been out for a while now, but I’ve never played with them until now! I couldn't help but jump on the new SG Custom Color series (I went with the 61 TV Yellow)..I've used a lot of Gibsons and their pickups, but these just sound amazing. Im truly blown away with how well they sound with both fuzz and with clean and a touch of drive! Anyone else as surprised as I was by these?

Hey everyone. I did a video comparing the Gibson USA and the Epiphone version of the Greeny guitar if anyone wants to check it out or is curious before purchasing. It’s not a “vs” video per se, but more of a ‘direct comparison of various components’ video. thanks! Epiphone vs Gibson USA Greeny

Would it surprise you that the last time you and I talked was about 20 years ago I think. Of course, back then, I was “Captain Pants”. 😆 I still talk to Roy on occasion and some of the old cats from back in the day. Time flies! Hope you’re doing well friend.

@Phil OKeefe Phil… you aren’t the Phil from the old Digidesign DUC are you? The Phil with a few degrees apart association with Alien Ant Farm(I’m keeping that vague in case you aren’t..)

Can’t speak for the other guitars made, but the one that came to me just needed to be setup for our SoCal weather, and it’s great!

Yes. Mine did have a poker chip in the black plastic bag. I’ll put a link for the video here in case anyone is curious to see it. Les Paul Modern Lite Deep Dive

That looks sharp! I went with the rose gold which looks good too, but the TV Wheat looks much better in your photos then I thought online. Happy NGD!

Thank you for the kind words! And thank you for checking it out. Rock on!

Hey everyone. I did a deep dive on the new Les Paul Modern Lite just to see what it was all about. If you’re in the market or just curious, I’ve posted the link here. cheers! Les Paul Modern Lite Deep Dive -Company Grip

Agreed!

That’s awesome! Thank you!

@Strong Heavy That’s a gorgeous color combo! The tortoiseshell and the Pelham blue. Is that from factory? Agree with you about the guitar totally!
