So I would love to hear from those you who have successfully gotten vintage burst tone out of your modern Gibson Les Paul.
I like many of you are tone chasing and I can’t afford a real Les Paul burst.
I am looking for the kind of saturated tone you hear in this video:
I have yet to play or own a modern Les Paul that can get this tone, including R8s and R9s.
I have tried everything I can think of... 50s wiring, swapping out pickups (tried several makers), swapped out pots (VIP pots), tried various string gauges, upgraded to Faber hardware. Still no closer.
My Les Paul is a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Traditional, a Sweetwater exclusive that is non-weight relieved. However, I have owned R8s and R9s too.
So if you have a modern Gibson Les Paul and have been able to get vintage burst tone, how did you do it?
Thanks!
