2019 Gibson Les Paul Classic - Unboxing, First Jam, Impressions || A Brokeboi Review

I finally did it... I bought the guitar I've had my eye on for quite some time, and the first in over 7 years.

I gotta say this one seemed like a risk due to the inconsistent nature of Gibson's quality control lately, plus the fact that there are TONS of very high quality guitars available now for much cheaper.
But luckily, this new LP Classic has stolen my heart and I don't regret a dollar.

The phenomenal punch, clarity, growl, and versatility of the split coil Zebra pickups, the beautiful Translucent Cherry finish, and the special slim-60's neck profile make this an absolute masterpiece of an instrument.
Is it twice as good as my LTD EC-1000, or six times better than my EC-256?
Undoubtedly, NO.
But if you are still on the fence after this video, and are fortunate enough to be able to afford it, buy one. I can tell you with confidence you will feel and hear very clearly where your money went.

I must say this is truly unlike anything I've played in a while and even sets itself apart from the same model-year LP Traditional and Standards I demo'd before pulling the trigger on this one. There truly is no substitute.
The "Classic" title seems to be a bit of a misnomer to me as it has many new/updated features, and definitely sounds distinct compared to the rest of the LP model lineup. If you want a truly vintage Les Paul sound and feel, this is NOT the guitar for you. But on the other hand, I welcome these differences with open arms as they make for a really unique and memorable playing experience. I just HAD to have one.
