📚Description: The Les Paul Classic was birthed in late-1989, but did you know from 1994-1998 there was a CUSTOM SHOP produced Classic? I don't see Gibson ever reissuing these because the R0 / 1960 Les Paul Reissue has made them redundant. The Custom Shop Classics have zebra 57 Classics instead of dual black 496r/500t pickups, a blank truss rod cover, no pickguard and beautiful tops+color choices as well as either maple or mahogany tops.

I just uploaded my first collection video of all of my guitars so far. You inspired me to start collecting 'special' guitars. And because you especially love Gibsons and I don't have that kind of money, I started collecting Epiphone's!
Kind regards from The Netherlands! 🇳🇱🤘🏻
Nice collection and pretty awesome story of your first guitar👍🏻
@@DanielJamesAntonythank you!
Lol, collecting Epiphones. Good one.
@@rustiecage1874 what about it?
With the one I had the 57s measured around 7.8k. Yours has some pretty hot 57s. Great playing demo
I agree so much that when Gibson does a reissue there should be some designation on its serial number and at least in a pickup cavity to show that it is a Reissue or as in this case a custom shop model. I don't know what you're planning to call your museum when it's up and running but seeing some of your information I suggest you call it Trogleyville.
I have a 1991 classic in purple!! Love it
Salutations Austin!
Beautiful Gibson“Custom Shop” Les Paul Classic Quilt Top!
Although it has an irregular quilt top, it is very distinctive and very active as well!
It comes equipped with the classic’57 pickups and it sounds great!
Thanks for sharing this with us all!
Please have an excellent and awesome day!
☀️✨🎸
Wow, honestly out of every Gibson les paul I've heard, if I'm gonna break my bank account for one, It will be one similar to this, love the mid 90s les pauls. A friend of mine still has his, standard he bought back in 1992. But I'm Gonna hopefully find a classic. Really like this one. Hopefully I can find one of the mahogany top one's. Love the look of that
Wow.... I don't know what just happened, but UA-cam put the old "sunken paul" episode out as the new one, and this replaced it after a few minutes, lol. I think UA-cam farted or something.
I have one of the 95s with a mahogany top, really nice guitars. They sound pretty compared to the usual ceramic pickups that you'd get from a regular Classic of the era.
Very nice looking top
That deep dish carve 🤌🏼, perfection!
Hey! I have a 1968 Gibson Thunderbird Bass, custom color Turquoise. Any thoughts on this Bass?
Hey Trog, could you do a video on the chronology of gibson pickups in more detail. Explaining how burstbuckers became established and what choices there are today across models?
you're really getting better - the clean tones you get are also nicely representative of the guitar - If you check other guitar players who come off more solid with their demos (Daryl Braun, Gregor Hilden) you'll see that they anchor their right hand for most playing - it's better for accuracy and tone - and it doesn't look as awkward as all that arm and wrist movement. You're definitely a better guitarist than your were a few years ago - it's just that right hand that needs a little training. Nice looking classic - I did notice that tilt in the bridge-posts.
Oh wow! That top is beautiful. It finished nicely!
Loved this one even if the B string wasn’t quite seated in the bridge 😄😉 Love the zebra bobbins against that finish.
I love the Donkey Kong shirt. And pretty cool guitar. I love the player grade guitars, not so afraid to really play them in case a ding happens.
Hey there
Did Trog ever do a review on the Gibson Les Paul Pro guitars?
I have the pro III built around 2014 I believe. Not the robo tuners.
Zebra pickups like this one he reviewed.
Mine is a vintage burst, i believe. Striped maple with black around the edge and tea colored body.
It has push push controls and decibel boost.
The pots go from humbucker to single cool if you push each one. Or reverse coil. Those 2 features are essentially worthless and over kill… i also dont need to use a decibel booster. The DB needs a 9v battery…
The guitar looks cook & has legit mojo sound though… very hot pickups. Versatile guitar..
Cool top , its s mix of chevrons & quiltage, the color is...is...is ' Ice Tea' ? I wonder why uncovered pickups make me blush...? Its like the guitar is a flasher or something ! OOF !! that sounds killer ! Thanks Trogly !!
Now that's a Classic great looking and sounding Les Paul 👏👍🤘
I like how this one is quilt but also flame!
You should try your contour gauge on the fret board to show the finger board radius. Maybe it will work.
Wonderful tones from this gem. Im wary of any guitar that doesnt have wear. This has it in all of the right places.
Wow, what a tone!
I've got a '94 Classic. They really are fantastic LP's. I ended up putting Seymour Duncan - Jimmy Page 'Whole Lotta Humbuckers' in mine, coz I'm not a huge fan of ceramic pups.
That has a beautiful top
Evening Troglodytes!!
Thanks for documenting, didn't even know these Custom Shop Classics even existed!
I just love that top!!!
Cool Donkey Kong t in the playing demo
Cool jam!
It would be interesting to follow up this with a Les Paul Classic Custom from the early 2010s.
You know I’m hooked watching your channel ……but it’s like taking your reefer addicted friend to a Grateful Dead concert but you forgot to bring the joints ……Painful! “Can’t Touch This”
The red mahogany on custom shops aways look so good
I like the 61 LP Custom neck.
My 94 classic has a AAA top. Don't get the plain top Les Pauls with almost no figuring on them. They should save that wood for the paint shop.
SWEET quilt top on that one.
Nice guitar
thats is absolutley beautiful
Love the Donkey Kong shirt!
What is the heaviest LP in your collection or that you have documented?
Beautiful
I think I read somewhere that the R0 actually outsells the R9. Looking across all brands, most have settled on necks that measure around 0.85" at the first fret. Thicker than this classic and some shreddy guitars, but not '57-'59 Les Paul thick.
I can believe the R0 outsells the R8, but not the R9.
I have the same shirt as u trog
that top looks great
Hi, i have a les Paul classic premium plus from 2000 which is a Amazing guitar, it's better than most of the New Murphy labs i've tried. I wasn't aware of the fact that they was a custom version of this guitar.
My guitar share some similarities with the custom shop version : it has a Big dish carve, a very beautiful guilted top and the pickguard has never been installed. But the pickups were ceramics and it has no custom shop stamp on the back.
Is it possible that Gibson run short of bodies for the usa line and took some from the custom shop ?
(Sorry for my english, i'm a french Guy)
I've got a '94 version. Mine had the ceramic pups too (but I ended up switching them out ages ago) & the '1960' pick guard in the case. They are wonderful LP's.
@@jubei7259 i've also end up changing the pickups for Seymour Duncan Antiquities, with are fifteen years old now. It's sound huge, i usually play it through a orange and a supro dual tone, JPP sound 👍
@@paulgodin1166 I went through a phase of swapping out pups quite regularly but I eventually settled on a set of Seymour Duncan 'Whole Lotta Humbuckers' for that Jimmy Page tone. Curiously, I too play through an Orange amp. I've owned an old OR120 since the 90's but my missus banned me from playing that indoors after one too many complaints from the neighbours lol so I use a Tiny Terror nowadays for at home.
Like 57 classic plus?
Hello Scott
How can you tell when ABR bridges are still the right shape not flat?
The Donkey Kong shirt is pretty rad too.
Neck pick up sounds louder than the bridge..
Trogly, any tips on keeping Gibsons in tune? I have a Les Paul and a Flying V - awesome expensive guitars but uncomfortable to play live due to poor strap button placement, neck dive, or heavy weight. Try gigging with a SG/Flying V//LesPaul and between sets going to a Fender Strat.and it's like going from night to day or hell to heaven!. Fenders are WAY more comfortable, stay in tune, feel like an extension of your body, etc. I love Gibson and want to love their guitars but they fight us every step of the way: Expensive, heavy, uncomfortable .....I bought a Schecter Custom Shop PT and its everything a Les Paul wish it was!
Throw in a Graph Tech TUSQ Nut. My SG went from unstable tuning to perfect. I have no problems with my other Les Pauls stock nuts.
The Gibson 'tuning issue' legend is a load of bollocks. Just make sure your nut is cut properly & lubricated with graphite from a pencil or something. I've owned many Gibsons for over 30 years & gigged them for most of it. I've never had issues with tuning stability with any of mine.
@@jubei7259I only own 2 Gibsons, both SG’s. Special faded, 2005, needs tuned every day. 2023 modern, never needs tuned….
I agree, the constant stability complaints, as with the headstock just waiting to fall off after the smallest knock complaints, are grossly exaggerated. But, some might need tuning more often than others
@@kris955i2 it's like that with anything mass produced unfortunately. I'd take the special faded to a luthier if I were you & ask them to either replace the nut or make sure it's cut properly. Have a look at the bridge saddles too. Like I said, I've owned/played Gibson guitars for over 3 decades (still own 10 now) & I was a gigging musician for a lot of that, playing in a Punk band but I've never once had either tuning issues, nor a headstock break in all that time. Don't believe everything people say online.
@@jubei7259 for sure, I don’t think Gibson “issues” are anywhere near as bad as some people make it out to be.
Depends on expectations too. Tuning once a day isn’t really “unstable” anyway. Faded is still an exceptional guitar
Nice Donkey Kong shirt
For us Europeans Gary Moore used Greeny. The original Greeny now owned by Kirk Hammett...
And Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy.
Yeah, not to mention Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, George Harrison & Keith Richards lol
And Peter Green!
Where’s my Brother of the six strings, Biker Jon? ✌️✌️Brother.
I'm always here.
Not sure why my comments don't show up here 🤷♂️
getting slash vibes over here
The Classic was the best USA had to offer for most of the 90's, I think in 98 the Standard got back on top.
@trogly I have a custom shop mahogany top if your interested in reviewing one I emailed you about it a while back but hadn't received a response
@trog just resent you an email with this and my 1992 standard with factory gold hardware
*_FUNNY.....,_* I, (being a drummer... 😅 & perhaps smarter about "G.'s L.P.'s," than many drum brands... 😉😂) was going to mention something about that "Gibson logo" on the headstock!! It looked a bit *_"janky"_* to me, 🤔 ummmm, almost fake, however, you cleared that up straight away, and now I know better!!! Although, I have to ask then, *WHY,* does that "outlining," happen, or "what causes it," would probably be a better choice of wording!??! 😎🤘🏼
Just tooling marks is all, which the lacquer settles into over time. If you have them, you can be pretty sure you've got a real Gibson.
John Sykes, Adrian Vandenberg anybody?
Yeah your play demos have got better - some nice chords in there
Gibson LP will always be # 1 in the History of guitars. Yes they bring in stars to sell the brand but I like all of the Gibson items from Explorers to Firebirds to the Flying Vs. They are a part of U.S. history made in the USA Love' em all.
What an excellent playing guitar. This was meant to be played not babied.
✌️
Yo
Yeah there were blondes before Marylin Monroe. But something changed no?
not a bad guitar......at the right price.....
It’s so cool that after 60 years they still can’t get the logo right. Good job.
I am so glad I prefer SGs over LPs. Seems Gibson bends you LP guys over a barrel w/o lube for all these foo foo variations that are just painting the same pig. Maybe that's why SG is always the top selling Gibson, not so much filler, pure beef, u picks yer pups and bridge style then shaddup n play. Trailer queens, aka case queens need not apply, only actual players. 👀
Z is for late.
Why always late these days?
My editor had to take medical leave and while I find a fill in, I have to do all the jobs
Austin , whats the heaviest LP you've weighed ?
A Les Paul of course.
Les Paul Professional at around 13/14 lbs. that was before my in depth videos though. Those are chunky guitars
Nothing not to like about this one.
I wish people would stop saying Slash brought the Les Paul back to popularity. This is a falsehood believed by people who won't take 5 minutes to do some research. All you need to do is watch 80's rock videos and you will see that a the Les Paul was used heavily during that period even before G&R was heard of.
Until Steve Vai / Joe Satriani hit the scene and then everyone was playing a Super Strat including all the bands playing “Hair Metal”. The Les Paul was no longer a cool guitar unless you were into Randy Rhodes or Jimmy Page. Slash definitely refreshed interest and then bands like Tesla , Black Crows, etc further solidified it. I lived through that time period in my teens so I experienced it first hand.
Haha, if it weren't for Slash 35 years ago, I wouldn't have just purchased the Jessica 😂😂😂😂
@@thenoodler did people suddenly not like Jimmy Page and Randy Rhoads or something?
Lead singer for Cinderella also used a Les Paul
@mr.giggles4995 Good call. Out of preference, tho.....Slash was who got my there. But it was the likes of Joe Perry, Jimmy Page, and Gary Moore, who brought Slash the Les Paul.
Before GNR hit big, you could barely give away an LP. I worked MI retail in the 1980s into the 90s.
Gibson Custom Shop was just a decal compagny back in the 90’s. Still is.
Nice guitar. Older wood is better.
How old does wood have to be?
@@ChrisShortyAllen trying to build a stable thing with an unstable material. Cant make a fire with geen lumber, older better. Wood is a natural thing, you want to turn a plant into an instrument, nature, so, moisture, warping, expanding and contracting, drying, gravity, a death by 1,000 cuts until it's really really done to it's max, so aging makes the wood "better" and if you don't build or work with wood you may not be able to comprehend simple statement that older is better. More than that is how the trees grew in the past vs now, the demand for wood products was much lower relative to supply long ago and that wood more likely grew slower than wood we would harvest today, in general, and was also more likely to have been given more time to dry and cure before being used. Visit a lumber yard and notice the reclaimed boards from old houses that are double the price of similar new boards. For Gibson they went hard away from pancake bodies to one piece poised so like my 93 l.p. standard is one piece mahogany back and it's really nice compared to today they do mostly 2 piece body's, and the building and repairing and resonating and finish lasting will all be a hair better on a one piece in the long run. As noted, plant used to make boards is not giving many one piece guitar size boards so less common, and boards glued together are better for the environment/tree population as more efficient use of material. Older days trees grew bigger before harvest and got more one piece body size boards to use. Fossilized board is likely a hair too old as it will be too hard to cut and will dull my tools, but that much hardness would be ideal for a l.p. or strat other than cutting. There are resins in wood that cure for a long time. How ever old it takes to become as stable as it ever will be, don't build on unstable foundations or have warp later, and starting with old slowly grown large trees. Slow growth yields wider rings, more light color wood cross section, and thinner darker heavier sections (the rings) as seen on swampy ash and that makes for lighter weight, yet still hard, vs commercially grown or quickly harvested tends to have tight rings close together n that is more dense and heavy. So there is not a specific number of years to jot down, same as no one type wine to memorize for a date. Maybe your a Budweiser guy, but that is still a choice.
First
At what?
Thanks Trogly for all the great info You always have 🎉👏💜🤍💙❤
