Congratulations ! It's a dream guitar !
Cant have a shiny black p-90 cover tho! Gotta be a matte finish or satin-ish! You are my hero btw
Gorgeous top. As I get older, I realize all I need is 1 p90 and a volume knob and I'm happy with the sound. And that one looks like it's never been played.
Same here but I want it in the neck or middle position. You can always remove treble but it's hard to add low end.
Ditto
I've been playing 45 years now and I spend much of my time on a Esquire who's pickup sounds like an angry P90.
I still plan on getting a LP Jr. as I love those wraptail bridges.
As much fun as one P-90 is imagine having two. My LP Special Tribute resonates deeply and endlessly and it has two P-90s.
Absolutely! I find i play my 74 ibanez LP jr copy with a Japanese dog ear p90 all the time. Those early Japanese law suit era Ibanez are fantastic guitars.
That’s exactly why I just got an epiphone coronet. Single p90, double cutaway and wraparound bridge. As simple as u can get and at a price that makes it an absolute steal
Another way you will know if a truss rod has never been adjusted is that you hear a cracking sound when it is turned. That cracking sound is actually glue that dried to the truss rod from when they glued the fretboard onto the the neck. It doesn’t happen every time, but more often than not it does.
Young, untouched guitar gets her cherry popped.
I see this and think it’s what Jared James Nichols custom should look like. That top is mesmerizing.
But then you'd have an ultra expensive guitar. I'm betting The Trog paid over 10K for this.
if he did then he is a sucker. 10k? no damn way i dont see it
@@user-pl7lr5dn8q You're right. I think I was way off. I'll guess 7K+ now. I mean, just the Elegant Series on Reverb are going for 5K and up, so this being more rare and more badass IMO, I can see 7K+
I actually really like that, I'm normally not a fan of busy tops, but that's cool
Same
Double same…
Triple same...
Werd lol
Quintuple same
Just from the thumbnail I am beyond excited. What a beauty
“EL Body” is “Elegant Body” (as in Les Paul Elegant), don’t you think?
I saw Wynonna at an Air Force Base in Alaska!! Her guitarist is great (he used a tele the whole show).
I'm glad there's enough room in the control cavity for the battery I'll need when I rout it out for an EMG!
Ha ha ha stop!
don't forget to install a kahler too lol
The hero we all deserve!
That would be perfect for Jared James new Signature GIBSON !
Said the same thing
Maybe ‘blue flow” ?
As always, you have a keen eye for unique guitars. This one is quite beautiful. Greetings from Paris, Il. Take care my friend...
Amazing one of a kind. I'm 63 yrs old and have been a professional, touring, teaching, and a les paul freak since I got my first delux in 1972. Yours is a one of a kind original Gibson. Unbelievable gold and black flame sure there are others, but not like yours. Great episode
Ok I have a new favorite.
Secondly , light weight + single p90 bridge +wrap around tail piece + cool top + ebony fretboard no inlays, + abalone side inlays + average tube amp + tube screamer=😎! I love math.
Jeebus - I just sold my Norlin Boat Anchor, having not played it in the past 20 years, and now I see this and Want a LP again. THIS one. Thanks, Trogly...
Taking the cream cover off really blunted the visuals to me. The cream cover also matched up well with the cream tuning knobs on the headstock. With black, the pickup just looks lost in all the darkness....
I bet the 'foreign" guy who Trog managed to get sidestepped will be stoked after watching this!
What an amazing guitar!
ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!!
Love single pickup guitars and as much as I love LP Jrs I think the normal les Paul body shape looks amazing with the single p90
Thats a beautiful guitar
DAAAANG thats a cool one 🔥😍
Pretty cool guitar. I don't like chambered guitars, but this has some really nice features to it. I did have one of the Elegant Series (before I even knew they were called that 😆) with a quilt top in Fire Mist red, real abalone inlays, etc. I had no idea about Gibson's back then, other than what I liked to LOOK at. Didn't even know they were chambered until a few months ago. Still wish I hadn't sold it. You've got a nice guitar there, Trog. I really did enjoy the finish, no inlays, the P-100 😋, the mahogany back and the ebony fretboard, especially after you cleaned the guitar up. Good find. 🤘
I believe your comments regarding the difference between how fender and Gibson measures your scale length is how PRS came up with the 594 by measuring from the end of the nut 🥜!
I love that finish...and I’m not a gold top guy...but that is killer...Gibson should do more of that finish!!!
That’s bad ass!
Sweet!
El body probably means "Elegant" body. Someone may already have picked this up in the comments below. I haven't read them yet or even finished watching the video!
Applause!!!!!
Mums the word
Love the simplicity of the electronics. Helps set off the busy top. Super cool guitar!
Awesome Les Paul! ❤
i love it
Why does it miss the pickup cover in half of the shots?
Watch the video
The Mummy has finally made it to the afterlife!
Love that Guitar. I normally don't like single pickup guitars because always put the pickup at the bridge. I'd rather have it at the neck for my deep tones. BTW, How do you get such clean distortions? I've tried gate pedals but still get that awful back noise.
Get a good gate. Or a distortion pedal with built in gate. The evh has one , so does the MXR fullbore metal. As does the amptweaker tight metal pedal. Lots of options. If you’re still getting noise then you have a grounding issue somewhere.
Weirdly enough, those Boss eq/tuning pedals do a similar thing & act like a booster. Great for clean dirt (if that makes any sense lol)
What a gem!! Congratulations on discovering this. Absolutely fantastic episode!
I wouldn't be surprised if you got a call from Phil X about this guitar! He loves 1 x P90 guitars.
I'd say that this is one of the best looking guitars I've ever seen... its Simple,,and elegant and most of all beautiful...a stunner!,,
Dec 20 1999 I remember how the world was going to end back then. Is this the gold apocalypse model?
Love it!!! I think it's one of the coolest Les Paul's you've documented imo. Glad to hear that you're holding onto it...she's a keeper!! I'd be very tempted to throw a different p90 in it but then again, I'm not a collector. Thank you, great job!!!
A black nut would complete the guitar more than a brass truss rod cover! Awesome guitar!
Trogly's playing has gotten so much better!
Congrats on the new addition to the museum! I love the lack of inlays on the fretboard - so clean.
Trog,
If I was you I would keep this one.
What are the chances of EVER laying hands on one again?
Yeah! Thats something special, for sure!👍
@@wesleyalan9179 I just wish I knew how they pulled off that finish.
I’ve got 7 of them. Pretty common🤣
@@Wargasm644 oh yeah I forgot, I have 14 of them!
About the same chances of him ever owning Steve Howes Les Paul again. 🤦🏻♂️
Clearly this guitar should be referred to as David Pumpkins. He's his own thing.
And we are.... PART OF IT
That is the guitar I've wanted my entire life and didn't know it till now! I wanted a gold flame top but that gold river flow is gorgeous especially with a single p90 leaving that space open. I would replace the nut with a black one probably graphtech.
I have a blue burst flame top paf and a red burst flame top emg.
Trogly. This is absolutely ridiculous, and I partly blame you.
A month ago I bought an Epiphone Les Paul at a shop. I searched for it once here on YT, found your channel, and have been watching and slowly falling in love with Les Pauls over the past few weeks.
I just bought a Gibson over the weekend and now I can't eat for the next 2 weeks. So thank you, i think.
OK. Im watching this and commenting as we go. Brass nut, yes asthetically, but would it change anything in the guitars performance? Yes, prob so. I like it the way it is. Great video Bro.
The 3 Gold Flows you showed were all the same guitar from All Music Inc. I absolutely loved that guitar- super rare- there were no other examples anywhere on the internet, none in Gibson ads/cut sheets. I actually got excited for a second when you showed three, then was like Oh, they're all the same one.
I agree with the idea of the brass nut and axcess heel, I'd also want a 25.5 scale and a floating bridge with a trapese tail piece personally.
I like the no inlay fretboard and ebony looks beautiful
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
Greg's in the house 🏠 😳 🙄 👀 😂 😐.
And im on the front porch, diggin' some Trogg🤟😁
Seriously trogly is always at greg*s house...
No house exists
I like your new format quite a bit. Images of the guitar in the background, give it that professional appearance. Very nice, Trog!
Trogly's guitar playing improving daily 👌 👏 ✨ 👍 🙌 💪. Awesome to see 👀.
✌️
Can we PLEASE get a JJN "Old Mummy" version?
6:10 the black pickup looks awesome!
I like these kinds of videos. It really puts your knowledge of deeply obscure Gibson facts to the test and shows how good of a resource you are about Gibson history. Good job man! Maybe you can do a series of videos called The Gibson Detective
Awesome one pickup Les Paul. Love the P 100 pickups. Another myth.. : hum cancelling single coil pickups are tone cancelling pickups.
Let's just normalize single p90s on fancy ass guitars I love it so much. I'm not often one for busy tops, but DAMN that's just a beauty...
Greetings and well wishes from Utah man!
K E E P E R ' gorgeous ...tone is fantastic ' ...definitely black cover ' ...the top even looks like it has some Tiger's Eye gem going on ...Abalone sides - nice ' ...and ooh ' that straight through Ebony ...crazy that Gibson didn't document it '
Congratulations on 200k!!!
Fantastic episode and guitar! Where else can you get this kind of content?! Thank you Mr. Trogly 👍
Now that is one gorgeous LP. I love one pup guitars as it is but when that pup's a P90, I'm like 'hell yeah!'. It made me laugh when he said about P100's extra coil killing the hum. I was like 'yeah, it kills the tone too' lol. Plus, to top it off he played some Aerosmith so... '10/10 would smash' lol
JJN would love that guitar, being single pickup. Hey did Jared break his arm? Hope he heals well if it's true
Yeah, dude, I just love the way you play to demonstrate the "ringing", with simple chords or riffs everyone can play. Ole for you, from Spain.❤️
I'm not normally a fan of finishes that don't show the woodgrain, but that finish if fabulous! I also like the markerless fretboard. But it DOES need a neck pickup.
Absolutely Gorgeous top... finally a LP I want!!!
Love the simplicity of this guitar. I have to say, probably my most favorite Les Paul I've seen. Well ✔
I typically like traditional guitars and own a few lpjs with the single p90 but this thing is freakin awesome. I’d love to get my hands on it
Speaking of a gorgeous guitar. WOWZERS!! What a beauty and I love that single P90 pu.
Good looking Guitar.
Looks like a short scale.
I really like the no inlays on the fingerboard. I just ordered a custom Jackson without any as well. Never cared for fret markers in general.
If you showed this guitar to a million people, I'm guessing this many would be reminded of a mummy:
(I am holding up no fingers.)
There is something about the power, sustain, and volume knob control of a single pickup guitar (especially with a p-90). I suspect the magnetic pull of additional pickups on the strings takes a little something away from the strings’ natural vibration.
I have wondered if that is a myth or not...I can say that for me it is true. Check out the Gibson Les Paul Tribute Junior and the Special on this channel.
Awesome guitar. Love everything about it. Great show Trog!!!!🎸🤘
I'd love to see Gibson do a run of these.
I love that Trogly can just casually pick up the phone and get Gibson on the line and get info.
Anyone can with their help line!
Oh man. I love single cuts and single pickups. What a finish! Gold hardware too. Be still my beating heart. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for this great video.
oooooooohhh I love it! top to bottom will definetly be a keeper for me too, the sound is wow, man, put a black cover to the pickup ;)
Love that Gibson! WOW! But what would be the Best Epiphone to get that spec, that one pick up Hollow body sound. old glory? or Zak wild
Stunning guitar, Trogly! Sounds great, too. Just out of interest, l know you demo through a Deluxe Reverb, but what do you use for overdrive?
Gibson has at least 3 "24.75 inch" scale lengths. You can only measure scale length from the inside edge on the nut as it's just the way it is.
They're actually 24 19/32 aren't they? That fraction is .59375 and that what PRS 594 refers to.
Yes from the inside edge of the nut, where the string begins its free rotation, to the center of the twelfth fret multiplied by two is the designed scale length. The centres of each fret position are calculated from that chosen scale length.
Over that scale length lays our compensated string lengths, varying individually in length at the bridge to adjust for differences in string core tension, gauge, string height etc. (Many luthiers can also compensate at the nut to achieve more correct fretted pitch).
Advertised Gibson scale lengths of 24.75 refer to their method of measuring compensated low E string length and calling it scale length. Over the years the actual scale length on the fretboard has varied as production methods changed.
Honestly, one of my favourite guitars I have ever seen you document. If $$ were no factor, I’d love for Gibson to make me a similar one via made to measure!
Beautiful keeper! Great playing!
You should bring out all your spooky guitar’s as an October special episode.
At first I though this was a spalted maple top. The guitar is a looker.
Wouldn’t these chambered Les Pauls put an end to the tone wood debate?
There’s a video for you-compare a chambered LP to a solid LP and see if we, your viewers can tell the difference. If they had the same pickups, I’d bet money we couldn’t tell them apart. Ooooo, maybe do fully solid to fully hollow. If there were like 5 guitars with the same pickups, I’d bet even more money the differences would be negligible.
That's an excellent looking and great sounding guitar.
Come on man, you have been doing this a while. Compound fret radius, ok. nut length? Why? Because it determines placement of the other components at the tail, hello? Duh? ... lol. Love your show and you greatly; ty for another great episode. Great that you started your own, very good and informative business at such a young age. I haved learned a lot from you. Ty, Tom
-The Naysayers….”There’s not much you can do with a single P-90 in the bridge position.”
-Phil X…” Hold my beer.”
Not usually crazy about custom colours but this ones quite unique
Gorgeous example, glad you put the pup cover back on, but black would look better than the white.
Totally stunning guitar and great to see it in detail (no, I don't have the $$ to match your suggested strong-arm number.... :-( ).
I love the Gibson necks without the inlays. That is a gorgeous Paul and I love what you named it! Nice Buckethead riff.
WOW! The distortion in that is what i ve always wanted. I think i really need a P-90 Gibson. TY again
Could you maybe explain a little bit why the Gibson headstock inlays tend the form such a weird outline over time? I have never seen that before on other brands.
That's the best looking Gibson neck I've ever seen! Love the minimalist / ebony look but unfortunately I need my fret markers!
I feel like it makes more sense to measure the fretboard from mid nut, since that's where the tension is highest
Absolutely love the Spooky Specials. Keep 'em comin'!
Love that color and top. No inlays is a deal breaker though.
Wow, I'm pretty awestruck with this Les Paul.
Great, Great Find and Acquisition, Congrats many times over Austin.
