Retired Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I liked Carlos Santana with his 68 Les Paul Custom. He did a much better job on Black Magic Woman & Gypsy Queen and the 3 albums recorded between 71 & 73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Nothing wrong with that. Triviums Matt Heafy uses epiphone on tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2018 GT has custombuckers, so do my 2019 R9s. The Custom R7 was from 2003, so it has 57s - what they were using back then apparently. But custombuckers are my favorite Gibson pickup. I like how they sound when you play through a good tube amp, especially with a little bit of dirt. The biggest difference to me is the feel between the R7s and the R9s. Both R7s have fat necks and they feel a bit heavier than my R9s - which are both sub 9lbs. The R9 on the right is real light - 8lbs 3oz and I like this. The GT has tall skinny frets too which don’t seem to bother me at all - just different. The Custom though has shorter and wider frets kind of like the R9. Sonically though between the R9s and the GT, they are pretty similar to me being that the pickups are all custombuckers perhaps... I couldn’t tell them apart TBH. Really, the R7 GT is a great LP if you don’t want to dole out the extra cash for the R9. You’ll get a rock machine guaranteed. You get used to the bigger neck profile no problem. The tones on the R7 are right there with an R9. You won’t be disappointed with an R7 if you get one. It’s hard to make a choice, but if I had to pick one over the other it would be the R9 - just my preference. I like the comparatively smaller neck and wider frets better than the R7. To my taste, a LP should be like the R9s I have. I mean you have to have a favorite... right? Anything else you want to know give me a shout.

StRanger7032 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Oddly enough I've never managed to keep a Les Paul more than 6 months. I think I've had 4 Gibsons and an Epiphone (might have kept the Epi closer to a year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 These are my three reasons.. The Double Cut feels a bit left out sometimes though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
