It makes me angry im poor :( ugh i better become a rockstar. Idc about fame or living the lush life. I just want a 59 burst. 51 goldtop. 61 les paul(first sg) 66 princeton. 60s plexi. Bluebreaker. Super. Deluxe reverb. A 64 strat. An esquire. And i want one of the first martin d28 made. Ugh. I NEED IT ALL. Plus a billion other amps and guitars and pedals
I am so envious of you, man. I have had a few Gibson LP's but I'm starting to buy late 80's Japanese Burny's because they are way more affordable. And honestly the craftsmanship is amazing.
Beautiful guitar, but you're correct, Austin, about the split coil sound. I used to own a '79 ES-335 (dark walnut finish) with a coil split switch on the treble horn, and I never used it, because the sound was anorexic.
Man. That must have been a beautiful guitar. Im on my second LP now. First is a deluxe goldtop. And now a bfg. Surprisngly its one of my favorite LP ive EVER played sounds incredible and plays amazinggg. Need the fret ends files. Bit sharp but thats it. But im getting a es 345 next and a es les paul. I love the 335/345s. And i just found out the es les paul is a real thing ans boy its sexy in a bourbon burst
That flame looks epic as you move the guitar in front of the camera. The difference between a good flame and otherwise is how it moves in the light and so many guitars meet an injustice with stills instead of moving B-roll
Hi just wondering if you've ever come across a 1980 Les Paul Deluxe natural finish. I unfortunately lost one at a show I was playing on Halloween of 2005 it was my first guitar I loved it I planned on keeping it forever but little too much to drink that night. Somebody ended up leaving with it and I was never able to figure out where it was and the rest is history. It would be nice to just have a look at one again thanks
Do you think the TP/6 tailpiece improves tuning stability? My nephew had one installed on his ‘04 Gibson SG Special. And I have never noticed any tuning issues, where as lots of people complain about it? That’s the only thing difference
Norlin were sure fond of raiding the parts bin ... but wow ,when they did good stuff, they sure did ! Beautiful guitar but I don't like that vile mini toggle that looks like it fell off an 80's Japanese Westone ,and with it engaged it sounds horrible ! Great video as always , thanks 👍😀🎸
This "Standard" is probably my favorite "Super"...except for Steve's wine red Super. That wine red really makes that one stand out. Although, one thing I'm not sure I care for on ANY guitar ; the wood hardware. It always just looks clunky to me.
Definitely a AAAAA flame top! This has to be the best-looking Les Paul I've seen next to the purple Bats In Flight LP Custom. I'll take this single-ply binding over the multi-ply on this axe!
Beautiful guitar. How do you find these? Btw, could the case be for a 70's SG? I remember seeing a guy with the same case but he had an SG. Great show. : )
That's the switch I was trying to describe on your ES-347 video ... those were used as coil split switches on the later ES-347s, positioned near the pickup selector ... :)
I really dig that coil split sound! It's so thin and crappy - but fits that Zepplin tone for sure, and I could see Jack White rocking out some Raconteur riffs with that tone!
Flamey goodness! That is one beautiful guitar and probably my favorite of all the guitars you've shown in your videos recently. Serious case of GAS ensues...Thanks Austin!
What a beauty, it is a shame the tuners placement are not equal, i have seen Gibson do this mis-hap a lot in older guitars. Just look at the b-string washer on the headstock, it is nearly into the binding, not the worst i have seen.
What a cool guitar! Nice job educating us on these. I noticed that you are leaving your SNARK tuner on the head of the guitar. I just bought one of these and actually read the little manual that came with it. They say NOT TO LEAVE them on the guitar as you can damage the finish.... I don't think they would include that if it had not happened.... Great channel. Keep it up I love the guitars you dig up and share.
I got the supersnark ss. Love the little bugger. What is the battery? One of those lil roundy one's they use in wrist watches? My lighting is getting low, imagine I could be due for a change.
Oh cool, this is a great gig for a guitar geek like this :) (the thing that fooled me was that he is saying many time: "i got", " i have", "i bought" etc.., also he sounds really young)
Hey dude, i ment absolutely nothing negative, obviously i like the guy and his videos. The light in my head turned up when he compared this LP to the Citation series, which are probably the most expensive guitars that man can buy new :) (on thomann's website for example), and i was wondering who buys them and are these guitars really sad instruments because no one plays them, and they hang on the wall in the special conditioned cabinets or rest in the cases as a collector's items.
Its a shame that guitars are so expensive on Brazil,our national guitars arent that good. I love Les Pauls guitars and im looking forward to getting one. Keep showing us great Guitars,great job man, this Super Standard is beautiful,would love to get one,guess i'll start saving up money for one of these.
Zadziwia mnie to ze te Gibsony prezentowane na Youtub chyba nigdy nie byly uzywane na koncertach i nie jezdzily w trasy?Moj De Luxe 1979 po 15 latach grania mial wymienione progi a po 20 byl juz zajezdzony.....ale na siebie zarobil.Kosztowal w NY 330$. Obecnie cena to 2500$,
You mention the volute saving the headstock and that reminds me of a question I have: Have you, or any other collector/owner of several guitars, come across many/any Gibsons with broken headstocks that had *maple* necks?
Would it be worth the investment to get TP6 Tail Pieces for my Les Paul Tribute and SG Faded and if I did should I also get locking tuners for it or would it be ok with the standard Klusons on it? My guitars play pretty well in tune and have good tone but would this give me an upgrade in reliability, tone etc...
The TP6 is a waste of time, but is pretty. It’s the same as a regular bridge except you can “fine tune.” It will do nothing to improve tuning stability nor would locking tuners be needed
Somebody needs to explain that tailpiece to me. I've seen it on a few 70s-80s Gibsons, but never really understood why they chose it over the usual stopbar. Does it have finetuners like a Floyd Rose or what are the black knobs for?
They actually work very well. I know a few guys with tuning OCD and they swear by TP6s and have them on all of their Gibsons. They're not cheap either.
5pc neck , including the wings on the headstock, .... and is this thing rattle, sizzle sound ,,, like fret attention may be order or the bridge is LOW ??
I absolutely love that headstock inlay. I thought they only put it on the L series jazz boxes. How much? I don’t know why. But I’ve fallen in love with that guitar. It’s even got coil split. Is your website the same name as the channel
Why they don't make these as an inbetween for the standard and the custom and the super custom above the custom is beyond me. Put in the super circuit like Jimmy Page's guitar
Now that's a purdy geetar! Why are you selling it if you have your own personal collection? If it truly is a one off wouldn't that make it THE most unique guitar in your collection? I don't believe I would part with it...nope no way... Another great video!
5:32 Duuuuuuude, you just answered your own question. How much is 3+2? It’s 5 - thus the 5 piece neck... :) ...onwards... 15:20 Def Leppard? “Tooooooo late.....toooo late....toooo late. Too late for loooove!,” .... solid.... \m/, ,\m/ 24:00 Ohhhh ohhhh .....EDIT that’s a 7 piece neck Trogly.. The head stock has ‘wings’ .... LOL (but they still call them 5 piece, as wings are standard on all ‘Standards’) :)
I Love this review you are amazing I thank you very much ! I have a question that Gibson amp could you give the name of it ! I wish you would do a review on that amp !
So late 79- early 80, definitely Nashville factory? Was the KM Les Paul the last LP built in Kalamazoo? Also, please do the world a favor and disable that coil split switch! Hahaha! Beautiful guitar! Had an Electra decades ago that was almost the same color!
No, the KM was far from the last LP built in Kalamazoo - that is just misinformation that was spread. KZ made Les Pauls do get more rare in 1980-1984 though. This is a KZ made guitar
What’s your opinions on ESP LTD branded guitars? If you like Gibson SG series guitars than I may have something interesting for you. The ESP LTD Viper series. It’s basically an SG with a full scale neck and EMG-HZ pickups. I dunno may be interesting for a “Would you rock or not” vid. Anyways keep up the good content.

Others have said it before, but man, I love how thorough you are on the Gibson lore. It really makes these videos special.
It makes me angry im poor :( ugh i better become a rockstar. Idc about fame or living the lush life. I just want a 59 burst. 51 goldtop. 61 les paul(first sg) 66 princeton. 60s plexi. Bluebreaker. Super. Deluxe reverb. A 64 strat. An esquire. And i want one of the first martin d28 made. Ugh. I NEED IT ALL. Plus a billion other amps and guitars and pedals
Hey Trog
Im proud of you. Your playing is getting better.
Congratulations!
Love your show.
TAKE CARE
Why not get ahold of the guys at Heritage Guitar and ask them. Never seen anything like that anywhere. Another great video. Thanks!
The flame on that Super Custom is insane!! Thank you Austin, you always find us the best guitars to look at ;)
Since I first started watching this show, your playing is getting better and better
I need this guitar in my life. ..
The coil split sounds awful.
Terrible in fact !
Series VII pickups, while coil tapped, are an 'acquired' taste haha
sounds as there nothing in, clearly waste of money ,still a nice guitar and not that powerful .as expected
Tbh I think the switch just looks good.
@@Trog I can't believe it survived intact. 16 year old Me would have torn it out or replaced the pickups.
Beautiful figuring on the top.
The coil split was unique.
That thing is just gorgeous. Wouldn't have thought that Norlin would have something so nice slip out the door.
I am so envious of you, man. I have had a few Gibson LP's but I'm starting to buy late 80's Japanese Burny's because they are way more affordable. And honestly the craftsmanship is amazing.
I'd rock it! 15:02 Too Late For Love. I think I'm gonna go watch some old Def Leppard videos now.
"These eyes...cry every night..." Nice. Always love a Guess Who reference.
Long live Steve Clark. A musical genious.
The natural color on THE Gibson! Beautiful!
I saw Neil Schon use that in an old video when I was in high school back in 2006. I’ve wanted one of those ever since.
I am watching your older videos!!! Awesome!! Love this Guitar!! Super Flames!! Thanks Trogly1
Beautiful guitar, but you're correct, Austin, about the split coil sound. I used to own a '79 ES-335 (dark walnut finish) with a coil split switch on the treble horn, and I never used it, because the sound was anorexic.

Surprisngly its one of my favorite LP ive EVER played sounds incredible and plays amazinggg. Need the fret ends files. Bit sharp but thats it. But im getting a es 345 next and a es les paul. I love the 335/345s. And i just found out the es les paul is a real thing ans boy its sexy in a bourbon burst
I loved the fact that they had volutes. I wish Gibson was still putting them on their guitars today.
That flame looks epic as you move the guitar in front of the camera. The difference between a good flame and otherwise is how it moves in the light and so many guitars meet an injustice with stills instead of moving B-roll

You should make a book of all the guitars you have own or review, all the models of Gisbon would be so cool
This is the nicest standard I've ever seen.Would love to get my hands on it.
Thank you for presenting this guitar Mr Trogly
Beautiful guitar... Yea.. 3 pieces of maple and 2 strips of walnut..thats 5 when I went to school!😄
it's a wonderful day in the neighborhood!
Her strut is an awesome riff.
Bozz Scaggs played one of the super custom in the late 70s early 80s on the album, the one after silk degree
What a BEAUTIFUL guitar!
That is one gorgeous git fiddle!
A great find my friend. Very nice indeed

Definitely a AAAAA flame top! This has to be the best-looking Les Paul I've seen next to the purple Bats In Flight LP Custom. I'll take this single-ply binding over the multi-ply on this axe!
Such an AMAZING guitar...but honestly for $20k, this guitar is just waaaaaay way waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my price range. =(
Beautiful guitar. How do you find these? Btw, could the case be for a 70's SG? I remember seeing a guy with the same case but he had an SG. Great show. : )
It sounds like heaven!
15:02 anyone know what song that is?
That's the switch I was trying to describe on your ES-347 video ... those were used as coil split switches on the later ES-347s, positioned near the pickup selector ... :)
Kieren Moore ...Yes, you’re correct. They also used them on my ‘87 and 2013 Les Paul Lite models... :)
Very cool guitar Austin.
Thanks.
these super models are so much nicer to look at than 59 pauls.
Man this is an incredible guitar! I absolutely love it
Wonderful video. Gorgeous guitar, and I enjoy your in-depth breakdown on these rare Gibsons. Coil tap aside, looks and sounds great!
3 piece neck & on headstock 2 wings glued on. 😊
While true... then we'd call all necks 3 piece haha
Correct me if I'm wrong, that would be a 5 piece maple neck including extra wings on the headstock.
Ah, 1979, the year I turned down a '59 paul. Yea, I know...but I wanted a maple neck like that...never got one.
TheDogpa Doh ! 😫
Ouch
hi any info on a custom deluxe les paul wine red ?
I really dig that coil split sound! It's so thin and crappy - but fits that Zepplin tone for sure, and I could see Jack White rocking out some Raconteur riffs with that tone!
Flamey goodness! That is one beautiful guitar and probably my favorite of all the guitars you've shown in your videos recently. Serious case of GAS ensues...Thanks Austin!
What a beauty, it is a shame the tuners placement are not equal, i have seen Gibson do this mis-hap a lot in older guitars. Just look at the b-string washer on the headstock, it is nearly into the binding, not the worst i have seen.
Can you do a Howard Roberts Fusion? My very fav Gibson. It too had the TP6 tailpiece.. but. man what a great instrument.
What a cool guitar! Nice job educating us on these. I noticed that you are leaving your SNARK tuner on the head of the guitar. I just bought one of these and actually read the little manual that came with it. They say NOT TO LEAVE them on the guitar as you can damage the finish....

I got the supersnark ss. Love the little bugger. What is the battery? One of those lil roundy one's they use in wrist watches? My lighting is getting low, imagine I could be due for a change.
Did this guy won the superball lottery or smht? how anyone has money to get guitars like that, and has time to run a youtube channel?
He's a guitar dealer, he buys and sells rare guitars. It doesn't mean he's rich, its just that's the merchandise he's moving.
I have wondered the same. He must have a huge inheritance or something.
Oh cool, this is a great gig for a guitar geek like this :) (the thing that fooled me was that he is saying many time: "i got", " i have", "i bought" etc.., also he sounds really young)
Mr. Trogly you gonna let them talk smack like that?
Hey dude, i ment absolutely nothing negative, obviously i like the guy and his videos. The light in my head turned up when he compared this LP to the Citation series, which are probably the most expensive guitars that man can buy new :) (on thomann's website for example), and i was wondering who buys them and are these guitars really sad instruments because no one plays them, and they hang on the wall in the special conditioned cabinets or rest in the cases as a collector's items.
Gorgeous finish
Its a shame that guitars are so expensive on Brazil,our national guitars arent that good. I love Les Pauls guitars and im looking forward to getting one. Keep showing us great Guitars,great job man, this Super Standard is beautiful,would love to get one,guess i'll start saving up money for one of these.
What is binding made of?
my epiphone has the same kind of flames as this one but the color on this one is so much better
These are some beautiful Les Paul guitars! And yep, it's a coil split. I love coil splits!
She's gorgeous.
5:20 Because 3 + 2 = 5
WaxP3 he was talking about a 5 piece MAPLE neck. It’s not all maple, it’s maple and walnut.
so much flame if your house was burning down you wouldn't be able to see it to save it :D
The super standard actually has 5 pieces of maple in the neck. You can see a slim wing of maple at each side of the Headstock
If we're being picky, those are technically on the headstock... not the neck, and then every gibson would be called at least a 3 piece neck haha
The Trogly's Guitar Show yes I agree, but I think that’s where the name comes from. Nice guitar in any case. Cheers
Good video. Good work.

Best sounding guitar yet. Idk if its your improved playing or what, but very very good
You mention the volute saving the headstock and that reminds me of a question I have: Have you, or any other collector/owner of several guitars, come across many/any Gibsons with broken headstocks that had *maple* necks?
I've seen a few - definitely not as common though!
Nice guitar..these super standards & Customs ..I now see where Gibson got the idea for those early Supreme models from..
needs EMGs and a floyd rose :P
That's a beautiful guitar!
It's really 5 pieces
3 pieces of maple and 2 pieces of ebony (or rooswood).
Walnut
beautiful.
Stunning!!! I have an ice tea Les Paul it's a fantastic finish
Why is it called a 5 piece neck? It is comprised of 5 different pieces glued together.
I was referring to it being called a '5-Piece Maple Neck' because the neck has only 3 parts maple
Ahhh... I get it. It's all about the semantics. I see your point now. I guess because it is predominantly maple.
Would it be worth the investment to get TP6 Tail Pieces for my Les Paul Tribute and SG Faded and if I did should I also get locking tuners for it or would it be ok with the standard Klusons on it? My guitars play pretty well in tune and have good tone but would this give me an upgrade in reliability, tone etc...
The TP6 is a waste of time, but is pretty. It’s the same as a regular bridge except you can “fine tune.” It will do nothing to improve tuning stability nor would locking tuners be needed
Thanks...I'm glad you clarified that...I would like something that helps me to tune less not just change where I tune...
Wow that neck!
Gorgeous !!!
Somebody needs to explain that tailpiece to me. I've seen it on a few 70s-80s Gibsons, but never really understood why they chose it over the usual stopbar. Does it have finetuners like a Floyd Rose or what are the black knobs for?
Yes, they are fine tuners. While, yes, they do work, they are more so for a fancy aesthetic
They actually work very well. I know a few guys with tuning OCD and they swear by TP6s and have them on all of their Gibsons. They're not cheap either.
5pc neck , including the wings on the headstock, .... and is this thing rattle, sizzle sound ,,, like fret attention may be order or the bridge is LOW ??

reverb.grsm.io/79SuperStandard
Excellent review !
How much would the bridge and tailpiece sell for on their own?
70s ABR-1 ~$150
TP-6 Tailpiece ~$100
The Trogly's Guitar Show Thanks!
Why they don't make these as an inbetween for the standard and the custom and the super custom above the custom is beyond me. Put in the super circuit like Jimmy Page's guitar
Now that's a purdy geetar! Why are you selling it if you have your own personal collection? If it truly is a one off wouldn't that make it THE most unique guitar in your collection? I don't believe I would part with it...nope no way... Another great video!
can somebody help me about a certain les paul im looking for?
Can someone tell me the song in 17:11. I think it's LZ (?)
ua-cam.com/video/DBzuYNK95sM/v-deo.html 10 Years Gone
The Trogly's Guitar Show Thanx A Lot!!! I can't believe I didn't know the title. I've heard it so many times
this is nice..how much is worth?
5:32 Duuuuuuude, you just answered your own question. How much is 3+2? It’s 5 - thus the 5 piece neck... :) ...onwards...
15:20 Def Leppard? “Tooooooo late.....toooo late....toooo late. Too late for loooove!,” .... solid.... \m/, ,\m/
24:00 Ohhhh ohhhh .....EDIT that’s a 7 piece neck Trogly.. The head stock has ‘wings’ .... LOL (but they still call them 5 piece, as wings are standard on all ‘Standards’) :)
It’s referred to as a 5-piece “maple” when it’s only 3-piece maple, and 2 walnut, that’s what he’s saying
I Love this review you are amazing I thank you very much ! I have a question that Gibson amp could you give the name of it ! I wish you would do a review on that amp !
Gibson Super Goldtone GA-30RV
Would look better as a basic custom model blocks on neck
So late 79- early 80, definitely Nashville factory? Was the KM Les Paul the last LP built in Kalamazoo?
Also, please do the world a favor and disable that coil split switch! Hahaha!
Beautiful guitar! Had an Electra decades ago that was almost the same color!
No, the KM was far from the last LP built in Kalamazoo - that is just misinformation that was spread. KZ made Les Pauls do get more rare in 1980-1984 though. This is a KZ made guitar
What a beauty
Where's the dot in the i in the yellow The Les Paul
A les Paul I actually like very nice.
You are a Les Paul library fascinating stuff.
Wicked Nice Guitars !
Five piece neck. Three slab back fretboard a frets.
no price. or should i say did you profit? that guitar sounds and looks like a piece of art.
Custom pickups would make this perfect LP
Use the bridge PU in single coil mode with a beefy greasy FUZZ pedal!
