@@Tsilsby There's one just like it for $4,300.00 that's been sitting there on Reverb for two years. '81 LP Custom tobacco burst. Not sure how he came to the 10K valuation. Seems extreme considering what's available on that site as far as Norlin era Gibsons go. For 10 grand you could get a lot of very exceptional 70's Les Paul. The examples are there. This ain't one of 'em.
@EarthAltar I saw that one too. He is at 10,500 on reverb. Guess they charge 500$ worth of fees now? There is a silver burst and its only at 7k But the price on those have dropped a lot.
@@Tsilsby Yep, saw the silverburst as well. Like i was sayin', for that much coin you could be real picky. There's no shortage of Norlins. A few are rare from that era, but condition is what's driving the price in the nicer listings. Not scarcity. The same thing happens with the '75 to '79 Flying Vs. There's some beat up ones at ridiculous prices and some choice ones at even more ridiculous prices. They get listed and sit for years waiting for a chump to come along with the scratch. Don't even get me started on the Medallion Vs.
not just muscle cars, I've heard that term applied to any beat up old car that no one would really want to save, but soldiers on anyway, i.e. econobox models that are practically extinct.
it's solely because of the look, and it's far more cheaper to get your guitar relic-ed or get a relic one from the factory than spend hundreds of dollars on a natural aged guitar. And just like trogly said "If a guitar gets to this stage, it means it's been played a lot, and if it's been played this much, it's gotta be awesome." People just want that look.
@hatred9427 it's also the feel. Relic guitars are still cheaper than buying a real vintage guitar that's got all the mojo and natural relicing, and alot of players love the "broken in" feeling that the necks on the Reliced series have. They're mostly collector pieces, but serious players buy them for feel too
@@hatred9427 No its not just because of the look. guitars are made of wood, and an aged wood example that has been played has molecular differences from a new reliced wood guitar. Wood is something that is changed by the vibrations it experiences in its lifetime. or, afterlifetime. So a lifetime of great players playing great music is something you can't relic.
This isn't a reliced guitar it's a naturally aged guitar. I can spot even the best relic job a mile away. this can't be duplicated, there's simply no short cut to achieve this. this is why I will never own a relic guitar. all my guitars have to earn their battle scars naturally. and this guitar is a perfect example of that.
Finally, a guitar worth talking about that has character, sounds has a decent story behind it More content like this would be greatly appreciated if possible!
Yeah and the guy who had it spent 20-30 years of their life smokin it up to get that finish XDD I love it. Always leave mine out when I smoke for it hahaha
I cannot comprehend why, if you were going to Fender Custom Shop or similar, you'd pay them to make it look worn. What, are you gonna tell people "Yeah, nah, true, bro, this is totally a '62 Strat that totally spent the last 60 years in all the really cool bars and clubs and stuff"?
@@hoilst265They're collector pieces. And for serious players that like the look and feel of a worn guitar, they're cheaper than buying an actual vintage piece in most cases. People out here acting like beat up worn vintage guitars are cheap and easy to find I swear to god. Let people like what they like.
I agree 100%. Very nice sounding Les Paul, just needs a new bridge and maybe new frets. It's perfect for playing 70's and 80's rock and metal stuff, and even some My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy tunes.
I owned Pat Travers original DC Les Paul for awhile. It was naturally just like this with the years of playing in smoke filled bars and venues. Same yellowish haze, and the smoke smell never went away.
All that tar from the smoke must of protected the finish from checking, it would probably clean up better than you think with the right tools and compounds. I know you don’t want to , but cleaning it would make a awesome video
I know where there is a cigar shop/jam room in SC. These guys hang around smoking - watching old ROCK videos with guitars, amps and drums set up around the shop for impromptu jam sessions.
It’s like the nicotine acted as a plasticizer on the nitro and prevented it from checking. The missing ingredient Gibson has spent years and countless dollars trying to find…
My 89 RG 550 had nitro (lol, Stryper/Desert Yellow, but nitro!) and in the 10 or so years it had existed, it had already developed checking on the headstock sides. People blame Gibson for: guitars in general having built in intonation issues, for Mahogany being brittle, for nitro being nitro. It's like blaming Fender for "causing" single coil hum.
@Trog can you make a video or comment about aria pro, and greco 1970s lawsuit guitars please I have found a couple that I like and I want to know about them
Rock and Roll band, smoking, More than a feeling, all of the first album. I was a brand new baby guitarist when I discovered this album. This one and Rush 2112 were my two. What about you?
The other two albums that formed my outlook on music as a guitarist were Pink Floyd Dark Side and Alan Parsons I Robot. King Crimson Discipline was big as was Abbey Road. Animals and CCR. Ritchie Havens and Sly and the Family. Ten Years After and Green Day. RHCP and STP. Us old fert guitarists can claim them all as influences. EVH and Uncle Nuge. Billy Gibbons and Jimmi Hendrix. We lived it.
Would truly watch an episode of you doing a total cleaning and polishing of this ole girl. Would be very interesting, before and after…Great episode, Trogs! ⭐️⭐️👍👍⭐️⭐️
Most of the deep brown yellowing of the lacquer is from age and particularly from ultraviolet exposure, not smoke. Smoking tars clean straight off with alcohol. They can cause some light staining, but not like that. Being in the window of the cigar store it was probably exposed to direct sunlight and got a lot of UV. I work with plastics and ha've seen many plastic and lacquer finished go dark brown from UV, even when nowhere near smoke.
Break out the black light for this one. that is an AWESOME guitar, it's actually not a relic. this guitar got it's battle scars naturally just the way it should be. it reminds a person of a really cool piece of antique furniture. I'm a huge fan of this guitar even with the brass nut. all guitars should have a brass nut on them as far as I'm concerned. even if they make the tone a little brighter. if this guitar could talk I'd sit all day listening to it's stories. I'm one of rare people that still smoke. so I would be okay with the smell. if it isn't overpowering. the fact is this can't be duplicated. there's simply no short cut to natural aging. you have to put in the time to achieve this. this isn't a relic guitar it's an actual aged guitar. and it's the reason I will never own a relic guitar. I can spot even the best relic job a mile away. that guitar needs to remain in the condition it's in. it would be a crime if someone bought that guitar, and cleaned all that natural aging off of it. and with all the morons out there I could just see that happening. that would be a shame and a crime for sure.
Polish, smooth it out not clean it, the grime then hit it with a thin coat of clear UV resistant to freeze it in place (unless you start wearing through the clear coat)...
Then again, remember that you don't eat the pellicle off aged meats, the tar coating has been staining it for years by gently cleaning it you're not ruining the relic you're just maintaining it - it would have turned those colors underneath anyhow, being played for decades in a cigar shop by assumedly the owner/proprietor, but in that environment it probably seemed clean enough at any time to someone actually in the shop. But a gentle clean up would really bring out the depth of the relic instead of leaving it like it's been drug through La Brea and left there. Wouldn't be surprised if it came out of some place like Cascade Cigar and Tobacco Lounge or similar...
I bought a 1975 Fender Mustang, it was black but it was covered in years of cigarette smoke residue just like this guitar. I had to take it apart and put a ton of cleaner and elbow grease into it. I used "virtuoso" guitar cleaner and it did a great job melting it away. Once i was done a shiny finish appeared but it took a lot of work lol
What that butthole surfers on the dirty tones? Absolutely RAD! To me there's no better feeling then getting a brand new guitar and then over the years it goes through all of those stages.
You can't duplicate that, it's got to be earned over time. there's simply no short cut to natural aging. that's what makes this guitar so AWESOME!!! and new relic's a joke. and it's why I would never own a relic guitar.
I’m guessing the humidity would be controlled in a cigar shop, the guitar may have never left the store. This is physically better than a well traveled gigging rig. The smelly portion more likely is the fabric of the case! Looks and sounds amazing. Hope it goes to a good home.
Whoa gorgeous Stage 4 "Old Stogie"! Yup, never touch this with cleaner, the story would be cleaned away and that's mainly what it's got going for it. I hope this is way more valuable than some highly reliced new Gibson. If it isn't the world is upside down.
The cleans on this guitar immediately made me think of Midnight Rider by The Allman Brothers band. Which very much fits the look of this guitar. Sadly, I looked the song up and found that the last of the artists passed away in April of this year (2024).
Watched a very cool and interesting documentary on a very successful art forger. One of his techniques to trick people was to put the paintings in an actual smoker. Wonder if you could somehow do it with a guitar???
Can someone share a link to some info on the Gibson LP custom richlite era? I'm looking to get a LP custom soon but I can't seem to find any useful info on this subject. I'm sure trogly has some info on one of the vids I'm just not sure which one
That is absolutely beautiful! The real thing and I love it. Plus, riffs from both Sabbath AND the Sword! Brilliant Trogly. Probably my favorite episode so far. Thank you!
i have a 81 custom cherry burst, i still have all the black plastics, but i converted it to cream plastics that i bought from george gruhn, and nice 90s brown case. i still have the chain saw case though. i hate them. i put cream dimarzios on it paf neck super distortion bridge. it has a great sound
when you said it was hung in a cigar shop for years, the first thing i thought of was the smell. sometimes we would have jams at a friend˙s house who˙s a heavy smoker, all my gear wouls stink for days after just a few hours being in that environment. as a non smoker and someone who cares for his gear this would be like handling nuclear garbage😂. it does look quite bitchin˙though

Could you imagine what Gibson or any guitar company would charge for relicing a guitar to that degree.
I would fear Stage 4 cancer just handling it.
Would you sell it to me? How much?
I refuse to believe the Murphy Lab doesn't have a big Texas BBQ smoker at the shop where they just smoke guitars over hickory or manzanita.
They use a Traeger because they're already set up for automation and compact fuel storage.
You just gave the idea for how to relic a guitar in the backyard.
Propane baby!
The former owners' lungs are probably stage 4, too.
Epic
that's gonna leave a mark
🤣 sick burn!
Criminal 💀
Hahahahahah
I still smoke, so if you want your Les Paul at stage 4, you can send them ALL to me and I'll sit in a room and puff like a smoke stack.
Brett Labs Relicing LLC
now that's a service!
Not roasted maple....smoked maple
According to this, tobacco smoke prevents finish checking! So, there's a benefit.
Me, too!
You better hang on to that, Austin. To find a stage 4 in that good of condition, and sounding as good as it does. You'll never be able to replace it!!
At 10k it's priced at I really don't want to sell it.. but for enough $$$ it's avail.

There is a silver burst and its only at 7k

Don't even get me started on the Medallion Vs.
One of the best sounding Les Paul's I've heard on here and cool looking too
This sounds like a Gibson in my head sounds like
And if you want to refret it, this is the type of guitar that would not lose monetary value if you did it.
When it comes to old muscle cars they call that a survivor.
not just muscle cars, I've heard that term applied to any beat up old car that no one would really want to save, but soldiers on anyway, i.e. econobox models that are practically extinct.
ill never understand "pre-reliced" brand new guitars, but ACTUAL relics like this one get me going like nothing else. this is so cool man

It’s a Tobacco Widow.
Guess Murphy labs needs a cigar room.
From the headstock thumb nail, I thought it was a Black widow at first.
Bacc Widow. Also yeah, it would be interesting if they got a smoke room like a food smoker on steroids and just try some cool shit

Thanks for the Sabbath
Cuban Burst! Picturing strong coffee and a cigar
Literally smokehouse burst! 😅
I'd probably clean the back of the neck and fretboard... the thought of my hand sliding around on a bunch if cigar smoke stains is gross.
Sounds surprisingly good.
Actually, one of the best sounding guitars I've seen you play here, despite minor intonation issues.
This is by far one of the best tone Les Paul's you've had on your show or your channel, what is everybody else think? Keep up the good work
I agree 100%.
Very nice sounding Les Paul, just needs a new bridge and maybe new frets. It's perfect for playing 70's and 80's rock and metal stuff, and even some My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy tunes.
Nicotine burst! It sounds great, one of the best I heard for awhile.
You can tell when he really likes how a guitar sounds when he shouts during the playing demos
I owned Pat Travers original DC Les Paul for awhile. It was naturally just like this with the years of playing in smoke filled bars and venues. Same yellowish haze, and the smoke smell never went away.
Im curious how there is a pancake layer that doesn't show on the sides?
That layer is only visible on thin-binding in the cutaway guitars outside of the pickup cavities
All that tar from the smoke must of protected the finish from checking, it would probably clean up better than you think with the right tools and compounds. I know you don’t want to , but cleaning it would make a awesome video

Smokeshop burst. How do the strings wear the pickup ring if they can't touch them?
Now that you've documented it, CLEAN IT! That's nasty. You'll never be able to clean off the color, just the scuzz, so do it!
keeping guitars in smoking rooms for years should become a real project.
For the looks of that axe, I did NOT expect it to sound so beautifully PERFECT!!
Someone really loved this one, I'm sure they are no longer with us or you wouldn't have it.

Do new guitars really age to stage 4 though? Since the finish is better/harder?
