Vintage vs. Reissue - Video

[Jimi75]

German guitar magazine "Gitarre & Bass" mad an interesting little test.

They compared the sound of an original 59 Les Paul with the sound of the reissued model.

Scroll down a little bit, you can watch 4 videos, two of eacht guitar, the first two vids are shot with the original guitar.

I think both sound awesome, but I like the original a little more. What a sound, just perfect to my ears!

Agreed - both sound superb but the original sounds that tiny bit tighter and more focused to me. Sadly, Id have to sell my house and all my possessions if I wanted to buy one.

Nice tones though
