You’re a really good dude, Ray. I appreciate your sincerity. Looks and sounds like that guitar ended up right where it was supposed to. And I love watching your Gibson content. I’ve got my second custom and fifth Les Paul as a whole showing up tomorrow! This time with a maple board. Can’t wait! Keep up the killer content and happy Gibsunday!
Nothing like a guitar that has a story and you can see the story. Old guitars have some much inspiration hidden in them.
I agree Todd! They really bring out the riffs
I just "modernized" my '71 LP Custom "the fretless wonder" Black Beauty. I originally got it completely stock in '74. Got an Alembic Hot Rod kit and changed the pickup magnets to ceramic just for a little more output around '76. Over the years, the pots started going bad and when I tried lifting the knobs out, the neck volume and bridge tone knobs pulled out the shafts. Oh well. Electronics inside were really funky - full of oxidation and maybe mold. Just the other day: I put in a wiring harness by Jonesy Blues that included CTS pots, 22 pF tone caps, a new Switchcraft pup selector switch and output jack. Threw in set of SD Pearly Gates pups, speed knobs and creme mounting rings and pickguard. It looks and plays killer now. Waiting for a creme "poker chip" switch ring to match everything up. Yeah, those old 70s LP Customs weigh a ton but man, they rock. Nice playing. Rock on!
Love the LP Custom! Keep up the kick ass videos Ray, your channel has easily become one of my favorites on UA-cam.
I had an LP Custom just like yours. A pawn shop prize. All the hardware and electronics were striped and I had to buy pickups. $500 total after I put it back together. One of the best sounding LPs I've ever played. I traded it for a BC Rich Warlock Custom Shop.
Thanks for keep posting Ray that’s such a nice old LP she’s seen some action in her life!
Those long ass string ends messing with anybody else's OCD? Sweet guitar man
The clean tones in the beginning of the playthrough really relaxed me. Thanks Ray
Also thanks for turning me 13 again by playing one step closer
I also have a 1971 Les Paul Custom but I am the original owner. It is the 1 guitar of all that I own that I will NEVER sell. These are absolute gems that just sound and play better and better each year and I have 52 years of playing mine at this stage! Congratulations on making a GREAT decision!
Dude you have amazing content and i really like what you do on your channel and im glad you are still going cause i have been watching your videos non stop. All really good videos. Thank you for all of these😁
Hey thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate you taking the time write this.
I’m currently looking for a 71 Les Paul, because it’s my birth year. It would be nice to find one that works like a Pennsylvania voting machine. Put four notes in, and it gives 12 notes back. I would become the king of rock guitar, and no one would ask any questions about the anomalies.
Great vid, as always. I just dig your LP’s! They all have their own personalities. I appreciate the AIC riffage in there as well! 😆
I staayyy awayy!! Awesome demo man, this guitar sounds amazing...
Loving the tone and vibe of the guitar. That first heavy sevendust riff sounded badass.
Awesome video(s) , character and style. Keep up the good work mate! Loved the Tool song!
These are my favorite types of videos. Guitars with a story are the best for content
I absolutely LOVE my Les Paul Custom! Worth every penny!!!
Absolutely rockin guitar man!!!
70's Gibson is my favorite era. Love them Norlins!!
For my 50th B day this year I would love a 1971 Les Paul.
Ray seems like the cool chill dude you can have a few beers with and talk about gear for hours haha
That’s a huge compliment. Thank you so much!
@@xanderraymondcharles no problem man! Just subscribed. Keep it up!
You bet!!
Thought you were going to go into the dean vs Gibson lol but awesome guitar man and cool background story to it thanks for sharing keep rocking man 🤘🏽
That’ll be coming soon!
I wish i had more than one guitar :( lol COOL VIDEO BRO, AS ALWAYS
If the pick up has a T imprinted Onto the top it is a T rop pickup so it’s original . You can also look up the serial numbers on the back of the pick ups..
Awesome guitar bro
thanks so much dude!
Ray holds it down🤘🏼
Your playing is sick dude.
These Customs Are great Guitars (the best for me) I have a Wine Red 2010 one and absolut love it. I love these guitar storys on UA-cam. youre cool man. P.s. your eyes looks very dark thats scarry😅. Cheers from germany dude🤘
22:10 I almost cried, you are the best man :')
It’s such an amazing song! Thank you so much!
Amazing axe, thats an heirloom piece right there! What guage string are you using for drop c# here? Sounds nice and toight!
Genuinely wondering someone disliked the video😭 ray never fails to make amazing content. Come on guys 😭😂
I have an insane amount of haters 🤷🏼♂️
@@xanderraymondcharles I'm sure you get this alot but... f×ck the haters bro! Keep up the great work and stay metal man. Much love dude 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Thank you much! I really appreciate so much. Yeahhh unfortunately the haters are just a part of the game
It's probs those cringy black contact lenses. I am also tempted to dislike but since I am a nice person I won't :) I just choose not to watch, those eyes are too disturbing for me.
"Black" by Sevendust 14:06
Love that song!
You got it! It’s such a classic!
Hell yeah !! I love sevendust !! I’m mindin my own business !! 🤘
Such a classic song!!!!
My dream guitar
Nice ride! For me, the only LP black beauty I'm into is an ESP eclipse, lol.
Haha hey nothing wrong with that!
15:24 nostalgia coming in !!!
I wish my 1970 had your frets. Easy to tell your frets have been changed.
Nice vid! Does it have the T tops in it?
I bought a 81 Les Paul Custom BB last year for $1550 with a flight fitted case, all my buds swear its stolen 🤷🏻♂️
You should really check the pickups, they still used real PAF pickups in that era in some guitars, and the neck will probably be at least a patent number pickup. Though I think the bridge pickup is probably a replacement because when people lifted the plate off their pickups, they usually did it to both.
False
What method did you use to authenticate the year it was manufactured ?????
Ray: 15:33
Me: OOH AH AH AH AH
Ray: 😄😁
hahaha
Great guitar, the tone is as heavy and thick as the body.
I would sell my soul for some witch hat knobs for my les Paul custom

First comment!?
Love the show. What's up with your eyes?
What do you mean
@@xanderraymondcharles I'm sorry. Not talking crap. Looks like your wearing special contacts. That also change your eyes? Your pupils look black. It's probably just the lighting if not. Love your show and that les paul is beautiful!
Haha it’s all good. Yeah they’re just black contacts. I wear them for fun. Some people love em some people hate em, but I like to have fun when making videos so I throw them in sometimes. Thanks for the kind words!
@@xanderraymondcharles I knew it!!! Lol. You got me there for a minute. Keep up the good work.
@@damiendyda8608 yeahhhh unfortunately some people who watch my videos can't understand that I do it for fun. Anywho thank you so much for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!
Dude yeah! Gotta love boomer gear you can make shred, chug and otherwise BROOTS
