A few years ago Tak-san gave a small talk at my son's music school, and he kindly signed my GoldTop. He signed everyone's guitar that day, but even so it was nice for him to do so. So, I have a signature Tag Matsumoto Les Paul! (sort of )
HELL YEAH YOU PLAYED HIS RIFFS TOO! Thank you so much again Trogly! I'm forever grateful to you. May you or whomever gets Koe enjoy it because it's an absolute beast! Also I started laughing when you found out that my local guitar tech Brad knew his way around a String Butler 😂 Bet you were relieved about that
I had one of these. It was heavy but not crazy. It had the typical Gibson LP tone. Mine was ebony. I traded it to Guitar Center for six thousand in store credit (that turned into several nice guitars) in around 2017. At the time they appraised it at 7300.
I always loved the double cut LPs, but by the time I could afford my first Paul in 2008, Gibson had discontinued them 😢. Instead I ended up with my 2008 LP standard 60s neck flame top in root beer with the red back. Its a fantastic guitar! Has served me well for almost 20 years now. I do still have a place in my heart for those DC models though. A red DC studio with P90s is my fave. A friend had one and it had huge thick neck on it though and I hate that.
Trogly you might want to look into 10mm vintage tuning bushings for that guitar. It should take the space of the reemed hole for the tuners and still give you the original tuner post size. Stew Mac and other parts supply stores sell them.
Gorgeous rosewood! Also, Love the abalone inlays- why doesn’t Gibson use those more frequently? Cool body shape. It’s nice to see something a bit different. Love that color top too. I just hate burstbuckers, but they can be replaced.
I got one of the black ones when they came out in 2014. It has Gibson pickups and plays well. I normally play Gibsons, but it is the best Epiphone that I have played.
One problem of his sig is, some of his older songs need Floyd Rose, like Love Phantom or Ultra Zone. He plays those on Music Man on recent videos if I recall correctly. His signatures with Yamaha have Floyd on it. A friend of my have one and it’s in an interesting shape with purple thunder on it.
This is a dream come true to see! Thanks Trogly!! I would kill to see B'z do a tour of the states. Tak is the man, and his guitars are so cool!!! (even though they commit every ugly les paul sin and more, I would mod one :P) PLEASE KEEP THE TAK TRADE SERIES GOING!!!!!!!!!!
Most interesting is the 22 fret neck. Makes the neck pickup sound more like a traditional Les Paul as compared to the others. That was always my issue with the DC.... displaced neck pickup.
Hi--I recently stumbled across a guitar that I can't find much information on. It's a Fender Catalina YC-25H, which is marked on a crossbar (?) on the inside of the guitar. Doesn't say any country of origin, just "handcrafted" with a Fender maker's mark. The guitar is really interesting, it looks like (and maybe is) a Strat neck strapped onto a small acoustic body, and I picked it up at a secondhand shop. The pick guard reads 花子 (Hanako) which may also be specific to the model. From what I've read, the Catalina was originally crafted and sold exclusively in Japan, but everything I can find refers to dreadnaught model, whereas the one I found has a body similar to a classical shape and size. If anyone knows anything, please let me know!
Actually saw the blue finished guitar in a local store. A local store ordered one for a customer, and it was being unboxed when I came in. Looking at the guitar was a humbling experience. The price was $6K or a bit more, and way above my paygrade / skill level. I didn't even ask to to try it! The guitar was worth every cent of the price. Also, I would have placed the three controls in a different pattern or gone woth 2 V and 2 T controls.
He used inserts. No reeming needed. The String Butler does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I have them on several of my Les Paul’s and my Wylde audio. Awesome tool to have and doesn’t damage your guitar in any way.
That burstbucker pickup from this guitar is a custom pickup(in Japan people call it 'TAK BURSTBUCKER') and Ubukata Shinichi used this pickup for his first cherry 335 and second ebony 335, until he changed to 355 in 2006(he didn't change the pickup and used Gibson57 classic from this time). So, until before 'Eleven fire crackers' album, the sound of Ubu's guitar tone was made bt this guitar's pickup.
2:18 the blue one reminds me of the charvel desolation series. I had a ton of those when somebody had found them in a warehouse and was selling them on eBay. I was picking him up for 2 to $300 depending on which model it was. I was selling them all for 4 to 500 and I thought I was making a killing but a year later after all of them had been flipped by everybody they were going for $800 to $1,000.
Trogly I have to tell you about a "The heritage" Kalamazoo guitar I found. It is a copy of the Les Paul Artisan two pickup. It is unbelievably gorgeous gold to brown burst flametop with gold hardware and the banjo flower inlays. Fretboard so tight and dark it may be ebony. It's at Guitar center in Chicago. It is listed as "The heritage 1996 custom solid body electric guitar" in used or vintage section. Its so beautiful I must help it find a home. But it's left handed jamit. It is listed around $2.5k like the new The Heritage standards. I just find it hard to believe that it is a standard because it's so fancy. The custom "Heritage" only on the headstock's go for $4.5k and they are just a plain color custom with trap inlays. I can't find any history on Heritage guitars if they denoted the headstocks back in 1996. This could be worth $5k. None of the gold is worn off, not even on the tuners or stopbar. Still would be a great guitar for you to demo if you have a lefty friend.
Hopefully lol. They do got a lot more recognition after they released "Into Free - Dangan" for Dragon Dogma but that's about it. Sadly, B'z is not that quite popular outside Japan. I'm a HUGE fan of them and I'm quite dissapointed seeing them not as recognizable as others do. Their "hard-rockiness" really differs than other popular Japan's rock music.
I just commented about the desolation series. Extremely underrated guitar at the time but now they are sought after. I started flipping guitars with the desolations. For around $300 I could get a set neck and EMG active pickups and abalone inlay.
Oh, I love that. I almost bought a DC the other day but after playing it for a while I was disappointed because of the obvious neck dive the guitar had (I HATE neck dive) - With the upper bout on the Taka Matsumoto being so much further forward than the DC, does this fix the problem?
That's a beautiful guitar! I was disappointed to not see it being played as it is. The color filter destroyed how magnificent those inlays are. Most beautiful fretboard I've ever seen!
Weirdly the specs for the Tak Matsumoto DC Epiphone version include an ebony fretboard, but the second run Gibson version is Richlite. (The first Gibson run being rosewood).
The Epi version could be seen everywhere for quite a while a few years ago, I regret not buying one but it was probably the most commonly seen Epi sig for a while, which is funny because most people have no idea who Tak is. Also, if you want to know how big B'Z are, they've sold more albums than Guns N' Roses, had 49 consecutive number 1 singles and 25 number 1 albums.
I like a wide strap, whatever material. Hooray for conversion bushings, whew, lucky on the reverse-able mod. I appreciate the color changes during demo, guitar and t-shirt. haha Hooray for black binding. Wish the Gibson crew used it more often. Ü ♫
Lucky the String Butler came off so easily! This Tak DC Custom body shape is preferable to me than either of the stock LP DC body shapes (vintage or modern) (And we won't mention the DC Long Horn model.) I agree this needs a Gibson USA model run.
Holy cow, there's 67 B'z song tabs in Songsterr!?!? That's the most songs from one artist band whatever that I've ever seen. I only listened to parts of the first 4 and they seem pretty good.
Another great Guitar and video, Austin! I'm not a fan of Blue Guitars, would rather have a Root Beer version. Sadly I don't have 5K for Guitar at the moment. Oh! Any chance you would be selling that string butler?
Korina, or white limba really is not that rare, Reverend uses it in every guitar they make. There’s also the heart wood called black limba which can sometimes have crazy flame figuring, and I wish guitar makers used that more!
Warrant doesn't have to be seen by suspects, just issued. Hence, if no one is there entry, no knock raids, etcetera. Just that a legal warrant exists signed off by judge. For instance, a cop can be at judge's chambers who just signed it and cops at the scene can be contacted by that cop that actionable warrant exists and can immediately act. Just filling in a subtle nuance so people don't get tangled by misinformation. The warrant can be brought over by car in time, or not. You can imagine that one thing is cops will not lie if a warrant exists or not because if they do, it puts them in the cross hairs of the court. Cops will let their ego and hubris rule over suspects... but that stops when going against the actual court.
I like the guitar, except I would rather that the 3 way switch was not on that upper bout. I would prefer it down with the other controls....and for me 1 volume, 1 tone and the 3 way would be my desire.
@ 04:20 - I don't usually give 2 shits about fretboard inlays, but my god these inlays are beautiful, and probably the best I've ever taken the time to notice 😆👍
For whom it may interest. Tak released a one off album with Eric Martin and Jack Blades in the mid 2000’s, under the name Tak Matsumoto Group. A really fine album, that flew over most people’s radar.
I had no idea Gibson made a double cut with a larger upper horn. I hate the way a normal Les Paul hangs on a strap. I'm sure the larger upper horn on the Tak is really nice when standing.
it is a shame that we can get only the stock models here in europe. i want some old models back and even so more these matsumoto designs. more of these difference models., please! and 24 frets, yes!! after a while - my god these prices, 😪
You're thinking it LOOKS like a PRS, but the body lines are very different. This feels closer to a Les Paul in the hand. Cool guitars!

Interesting you should say that Trogly. I would’ve have thought most people would describe it as “inspired by PRS”!
Gibson: We can do whateveer you want
Guy: Make me a PRS
Also guy: Make it cost more, but have worse QC
@@TylerJohnstonGuitar That's probably why PRS won't sue Gibson for this, because it would be a backhanded insult to themselves. Like suing a cheap, crappy, Chinese knockoff instrument.
Nailed it!
@@OfficialDreamTheateror more likely cuz it’s Japan and they can get away with it there😮

The only thing PRS "invented" was the 25" scale length. What's he going to sue them for? Copying his fucked over rebuilt Hamer?
He didn't even invent his magic midrange enhancing plastic tuner buttons - my Melody Maker has them 🤭
Man, Tak is an AMAZING designer. His signature models are right up my alley spec and look wise.
A few years ago Tak-san gave a small talk at my son's music school, and he kindly signed my GoldTop. He signed everyone's guitar that day, but even so it was nice for him to do so. So, I have a signature Tag Matsumoto Les Paul! (sort of )
Reminds me of a PRS.
probably reminded Gibson of them as well.....and thought better keep this guy in the fold.....
Same
HELL YEAH YOU PLAYED HIS RIFFS TOO!
Thank you so much again Trogly! I'm forever grateful to you. May you or whomever gets Koe enjoy it because it's an absolute beast!
Also I started laughing when you found out that my local guitar tech Brad knew his way around a String Butler 😂 Bet you were relieved about that

Sounds like you had some good times with Gibsons.👍
I always look for the workbench time lapse, seems like this one was little longer and showed more of the neck being cleaned- much appreciated!

I’ve always wanted one of these Tak DC guitars. So beautiful! 😊
A pink shirt would be sick
I own two Tak M. Epi's. Love them, but would love to see an episode on the Epiphone versions of these and how they compare with the real Gibsons.
I really like the color filters used to see what the guitar looks like in different colors. Pretty cool!
Beautiful ax!
Ever thought of offering tabs for some of your common riffs?
Most interesting is the 22 fret neck. Makes the neck pickup sound more like a traditional Les Paul as compared to the others. That was always my issue with the DC.... displaced neck pickup.

Gorgeous top/color. Sounds fantastic. Very clear but nicely beefy.
Im not a Gibson guy but i like the Gibson modern double cut
Look like one of the best DC's I ever saw. Even keeps the Pup spacing the same as the classic LP's. Very good looking one.
Nice bright sound on the bridge

"Yeah, but you know it's there"
...that's how I feel about it, lol
From horn to horn, the body is one big swoop. What you have there, Trogly, is a Gibson-made PRS.

Very Cool. Also love the color coordinated Trogly Tees!
Tak has an album with Eric Martin (Mr Big) what a great album, worth to check it out🤘
Were you changing shirts and guitars or graphic tricks ?
I think it sounds good. I wanted the black one but like you said prices have jumped.
Shame they dont make that in the us. Would totally play that. Looks so cool
I really like this one. Nice weight too.
Thats a good looking guitar, i really like the specs i'm loving the abalone markers..
The color is nice. Fretboard also
Love the rosewood fretboard. The frets look like true jumbos.
That has to be inspired by a PRS!
Holy cow, there's 67 B'z song tabs in Songsterr!?!? That's the most songs from one artist band whatever that I've ever seen. I only listened to parts of the first 4 and they seem pretty good.
Hey there
I think you should do a 1 for 1 of the les paul modern lite and the paul II. I just picked up a 1997 The Paul II and it is the same exact specs!
The DC shape looks just like a PRS. Even the back. Surprised you didn't mention that since the comparison is so obvious?
You should do the color change when you switch pickups
That's a gorgeous color!
Nice chops Austin.👍

I can't imagine Gibson releasing this body shape in the USA without inviting litigious thunder and lightning from PRS.

For whom it may interest. Tak released a one off album with Eric Martin and Jack Blades in the mid 2000’s, under the name Tak Matsumoto Group.

Your demo playing has definitely gotten better over the years. Or maybe the guitar is so good it just MADE you sound great.
I had no idea Gibson made a double cut with a larger upper horn. I hate the way a normal Les Paul hangs on a strap. I'm sure the larger upper horn on the Tak is really nice when standing.
