You need that Purple Lester Trogs!!
With something like that Quilt Purple top, the left side is the bottom of the right side, so the wood grain/quilt reflects the light in opposite directions.
That will typically change the brightness and sometimes the hue even though it is the same color, the light is reflecting in the opposite direction as its mate piece (bookmatched) on the opposite side. You really should take a tour of Gibson and film it, I believe it would give you a lot of insight.
What was your asking price for the Super 400
That purple Paul is perfect...u are rite .but it needs gold hardware
Speaking of Koa tops I saw either on Sweetwater or Musician's Friend that there's an Epiphone now being sold with a Koa top for around $800 or $900. Did not look to bad. I think I'm on board with you on the factory burst. Although them Koa tops aren't bad looking either.
Hey Trogly, just pointing out, that heartwood is still curly maple, it’s a maple top. All trees have sapwood and heartwood, and with most trees the heartwood is the sought after part, walnut heartwood is that pretty brown, where the sapwood is a lighter color. Maple is unusual where it’s the light colored sapwood that’s generally sought after while the darker heartwood isn’t. I work in a shop that deals almost exclusively with Birdseye and Curly maple. Our instrument clients buy exclusively white meat sapwood, which I always find kind of a shame cause I love the look of the darker heartwood, which also is often very heavily figured. That being said, maple heartwood is a lot less stable and if cracks develop in a board odds are it’s going to be in the heartwood.
I commented the same thing before i saw your comment. i laughed when he thought it was a species.
Can't they seal it in a vacuum with some kind of clear glue to stabilize it?
Is it just me or does the guy who does these videos mostly cares of the aesthetics of the guitar for dollar resale value over actual playability of the damn thing? I've seen other videos and it seems playability is not his main point of interest, seems to me he cares more how it looks, I find that a bit odd.
@@marioguti9887 thats common when dealing with gibson-fanatics, since they never play as good as for example japanese Ibanezes or ESP's, american Fenders or other high end brands and/or boutique guitars : )
@Myke Fuller Do you mean in regards to guitars or in regards to wood? Generally yes there will be a price difference, it all depends on what’s considered desirable out of a given species of tree and the quality of wood harvested in it. To use the example again of walnut, where the heartwood is sought after, a piece that’s pure, clean heartwood is going to fetch more than a piece that has areas of sapwood mixed in, or knots, or twisted grain etc. lots of factors contributing to that. The area I work in, figured maple, has all those factors and then the quality of figure to consider as well.
The purple LP is without question my favorite, killer top and the back is probably better in person.
Exactly!! Beautiful color.
I typically don’t like purple, but man… That is gorgeous.
@@Davidckennedymusic shame they didn't trick out the back of it as the front is so unique. It is very cool IMO!

Quilted maple + purple + Les Paul Custom
So many virtues together!
The last one shown was absolutely mind-blowing. I think that was the most awesome quilt top that I have ever seen in my entire life. And to top it off with my favorite color just made it the best Les Paul I've ever seen, bar none. I would kill to have that guitar.
Simply unbelievable.
Austin is in His House 🏠 of AWESOME BEAUTIFUL Guitars 🎸
Hey there Randy
Randy in the house
(1:52) This Custom IS a maple topped guitar. The term “heartwood” refers to the inner wood of the tree, where the wood is hardest. The layers of the tree are: bark, sapwood, and heartwood (concentrically). There is a mild to strong color difference between sapwood and heartwood.
That natural heartwood is a beauty. I’m a sucker for natural finishes.
Same
It's still Maple.
When I see nice grain finishes all I think about is PRS. Les Paul Customs look so good in a strong wood grain finish but they’re always painted over which isn’t always a bad thing but I prefer the natural grain look. I always enjoy seeing these types of Les Pauls (minus the tie-die) but I just can’t bring myself to spend 5k on a guitar and it not be a PRS anymore, 10 years ago I’d be buying one of these, now days I’ll just appreciate from afar.
I've had my eye on the spangly purple one bottom left at 6:33 for a while, I look at it the same way Wayne looks at the white strat :)
The purple Paul was my favorite!!
Aren't you going to talk about the Leo Scala 58 flying v's?
Mr. Trogly, the term "heartwood" refers to where in the tree the wood was cut from, not it's type. Still maple (probably), just cut from the very center of the log.
The purple quilt is gorgeous!
The Tie-Dye really tickled my 90s nostalgia. To have taken the stage of an outdoor festival playing that guitar would’ve made you the coolest.
Of course the purple guitar is beautiful and elegant, but it doesn’t feel like you would throw it into the back of a van to go rock some small sweaty club.
That’s purple quilt has a perfect outline of a head right behind the middle finger… crazy.
That 57 Koa wood reissues color really reminded me of my 69 es-335 walnut it’s very similar in color. It looked like a walnut LP. Really cool.
The ''Heartwood'' custom is still a Maple top, it just includes heartwood, which is the inner wood that is darker compared to the sapwood. Dark Walnut is also heartwood where the sapwood from Walnut is very light in colour.
The purple one! Do more like this!
I REALLY LOVE Koa tops with natural backs! Thanks for asking. Wish I could afford one….
Great show loved the selection you picked!
Hey, that purple beastie is where I live, Ottawa, Ontario Canada! Probably not a price I would pay, but it might be fun to go down and check it out...maybe get a few photos of it to see if that difference in shading is there...
I really really really dislike witch hat knobs, why would they use those, we’re they what was available back then? I really dig the purple quilt top.
I think in the fifties people turned knobs like it was a radio. I don't think they rolled them off.
9:08 best overspray job i have ever seen 😍
The purple was sick but not feeling itvatv$8200.00
I have a similar to that '68 Custom Reisue M2M Factory Burst Les Paul but with gold hardware and is a bit deeper, darker red. To me is the most beautiful LP, one piece honduras mahogany and neck, awesome flamed maple top, ebony fretboard, real mother of pearl inlays and is loaded with classic 57's sweet!
I got one of those studio custom swirls from 2011 in a green burst kinda look. Never really see people cover them on UA-cam beside when they first came out
that purple M2M is my fav, i love LP with nice tops and natural back and sides
I liked the way the grain on the KOA top followed the contour of the body.
Lots of great axes on this episode. I'm not that into purple, but that quilt top is amazing.
I totally agree about factory burst and cherry sunburst..I'm not a big fan of the cherry sunburst but factory burst just hits different..I love vintage burst tho
Thanks for sharing these cool Les Pauls!
This is the equivalent of watching high quality guitar porn where guitars I will never own or get to play are shared by Sir Troggers for mere mortals like me to appreciate and enjoy. Having said that, I love all my much cheaper guitars in my harem and they make sounds just as good and unique as guitars 10 times their value. It's a great time to be playing and collecting guitars and getting to appreciate the "top shelf" of my dreams is a regular pleasure thanks to this channel.
Quilted Purple! Thanks for the video, Austin!!
Never understood the raised pick guard. Also Les Paul asked Gibson "Why the rosewood fret board?" He said they told him, "Your fingers show up better." To which he just shrugged. Like the R-7 Koa.
Wow that first Koa grain ...and that purple quilty Custom'
I love Cherry Sunbursts, but the factory, aka tobacco sunbursts are sweet, too. I love the plastic, Kluson-type tuners, too. They feel much warmer than metal and they don't tarnish like gold tuners. I don't even mind the "snot green", as haters like to call it. I would like to see the rainbow on the back with a regular, flame burst or black top. First one was my favorite.
Purple Quilt. Thank you Austin for your hard work, I watch all of your videos and I Absolutely Appreciate you ❤️
Ditto
Me too I enjoy these videos and find myself watching more and more of them, used to watch mainly politics but when you see guys like Biden who has been a government worker for 45 years plus then you find out how much wealth he has accumulated it just pisses me off when you realise that these Government jobs are relatively low paid it makes you realise that maybe the conspiracy theorists who claim that Biden and many other high flying Government workers are making insane amounts of money from something other than their job or perhaps because of their job and what information they have that can help big tech and big investors make such obscene amounts of money and it kind of seems obvious that even a creep like Biden can get away with securing many millions of dollars to the point that he can even fix an election and a real American patriot like Donald Trump who never even took a wage during his Presidency gets so obviously cheated from his second term because the richest people on the planet wanted a President who can be bought no matter how bad it is for America first thing in Bidens life is Biden and his private wealth, Americans can eat shit as far as Biden is concerned, no one will investigate him it will expose too many patriots who only care about acquiring more money, keeping a monkey in the Whitehouse and keeping the most honest and decent President that America has ever had out of office despite the fact that there is truckloads of evidence proving that Mr Trump did indeed win the election by a very long way but he was shafted by people who do not want to work with an honest decent man and now many people are worried that America is going to be unable to get out of the mess that thieves in power that are being controlled by thieves in powerful positions in big tech and war tech and science tech and media tech and financial tech and mafioso tech are all after their cut of the pie but they are already so wealthy and powerful that their is not enough cash in the world to feed the greed of those that expect a big return on what they paid to make an old thief become the President so the only way Joe can keep a lid on it is to arrange the printing of trillions of dollars despite the fact that Americans will never be able to get Americans back to being a wealthy country. Letting in billions of immigrants some of which are extremely violent and dangerous will give Americans something to blame for downgrading their wages as they will find out that the New Americans will work for much less and they will no longer support the unions so protected jobs with decent salaries will be just one of Joe's victims but at least Joe will be alright and Hunter might not go to jail but if he does he can be sure of a steady drug supply from daddies buddies. So fuck politics. Trogly is interesting and I like guitars better anyway.. Crazy money 💰 how much will a Les Paul Standard cost when Biden quits 6 years from now if he wins a second term or perhaps he will just take a second term, after all what would be done about it 🤔 I don't think much Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi will explain to the people that an election would be too dangerous to organise until all the new immigrants were given their papers and Government housing and some newly printed dollars to get by on until the election could be organised in 4 years and Camala Toe would take over from Joe until the next election date was chosen by Miss Toe after her inauguration. A les Paul will then cost about 25000 dollars but a PRS might be 40000 dollars for an American made one. Make an investment now.
@@crestadude4139 OK........CRESTADUDE, you are obviously "Red-Piled", and that is a good thing. We all need to wake up to how both Left and Right Parties are scamming American Citizens. Those politicians and big-tech would be happy stealing all of our money through taxes to pay the invaders and line their pockets, but I digress as I'm now preaching to the choir.
So yeah, like yourself I've removed myself from almost all social media and I no longer watch the news. My only daily view is Trogly, and my only interests these days are guitars.
Glad you're here CRESTADUDE, You and I seem to have a lot in common.
I would like to add, I believe many more people feel like you and I than what is being reported............just saying, News these days is mostly all lies.
Be Well and Stay Safe
Trogly, is it worth it for me to pick up one of the new gibson exclusives 70’s V in olive drab? I see limited release and I don’t recall them releasing the V in drab previously although I do remember the special and classics being released previously. If there’s any desirability behind the V I might pick up up but I need another opinion. Thanks my man!
Great stuff you do
That koa top is awesome
I knew that last guitar looked familiar. It is in the store located 15 min from where I live. Lauzon has amazing guitars. That's for sure
I tried to buy one of those Heartwood Pauls from CME, but they sold out before they even opened the store.
That purple LP was like crushed velvet the top was insane on that thing.
The heartwood custom is cool as is the purple quilt top.
The shop in Germany had this 68 Custom with another Top. It sold a few days ago. I wanted to buy it but I decided to buy Mick Jones Les Paul (2008) at another shop. However the first one they had was even more beautiful. It had a far more interesting top (kinda like two face and very alive even on photos).
Many Greetings from Germany!
Great show Trogly, I love the Koa, man thats beautiful. The purple 💜 is pretty awesome also and the tie died one is growing on me, the technic that was used with the cloth is very interesting 🤔 and your right that would be cool if they continued that on the front of the head stock and did something cool with the
Watching this episode has me wondering about the manufacturing process. For example, what happens first? Binding or staining? I think it’s probably binding first, but wouldn’t it be easier to stain first then bind? To prevent bleed from the stain getting on binding? Also, how much control over flaming do they have. I mean obviously you can’t take a generic piece of wood and make it look amazing just by flame treating it, but with a good piece, can you make a significant improvement? How much does it depend on the natural quality of the wood selected and how much on handling? 80/20 or more like 60/40? Just curious 🤔. Thanks for the interesting content. I learn something new every day and have fun doing it. Even if I’ll never afford any of these collectors grade examples.
“Flame” refers to the natural figure and has nothing to do with fire or heat treating.
I love quilt tops, and that purple is incredible! If that was a 57 or 68 reissue it would be perfect. And I am lucky enough to have a Koa top 68 reissue M2M.
That Koa top B7 looks like it's encased in amber, it's beautiful. That purple at the end is a close second. Great show dude.
That Koa LP is Boss! Wine colored, and that awesome Brown Custom looks really good!
I got no light and so does the whole island, but thank god Trogly uploaded to get my spirits up.
These are extremely nice,Trogg 🤟
That Koa top was beautiful
0:41 Huh, never knew about cherry sunburst vs. "heritage" cherry sunburst. Is regular cherry sunburst what's referred to as "clown burst?"
I love purple guitars, if that purple one had gold hardware, and a darker coloured back, it would be perfect!
G'day Trogly, looked at many of your presentation's. Your preoccupation with LPs is amusing and a little bit scary, don't change a thing. The exuberence you show in all your segment's is refreshing and, I think, welcome. This is particularly noticable in this offering. My only claim to guitar notoriety was the ownership of a 68 tustom tele I bought in 1976 (complete with 60w Right amplifier) for $160 and sold on in 1990 for $900. I still think about wrist slashing everytime I remember this. Your format is good and I wish you success in the future. Cheer's from Australia. P.S I fallowed the fate of my teli, it ending up back in the USA. It sold for a lot of money.
Thanks for sharing my Chai Mist LP. FYI, the pickguard is transparent and they painted the underside… which really makes me question how they matched the top so well. Cheers Trogly.
The purple is kick ass.
Have you ever reviewed a 2017 studio in Manhattan Midnight.
The 9 digit serial number confused me at first.
That purple one.....wow!!!
Love the purple one. If I had the readies it would be mine but sadly I don't.
that tie dye one would look wicked heavily reliced
That purpple one was bad ass
Does the purple Les Paul come with a matching suit?
Great job!
Lol, trog, man. heartwood is not a species. Its the center of the tree, thats why its darker and has streaks.
Not bad, some had charcuterie but isn't there laws about Brazilian rosewood?
I don’t know if you know this, but I love les pauls. Yes I and anybody who enjoys playing guitar can play and enjoy any guitar, but my lp standards are my favorite. I love making a beautiful instrument feel like it’s a part of you and like you know your instrument inside out. Love em !!
In the early 2000’s you could get the 68 triburst reissue.
reallly like that purple LP
The purple quilt LP is fucking amazing!!
This 4:00 I've seen this. If I had the money for sure I would buy. I love black Les Pauls, and this is very nicw.
My favorite is the 68’ factory burst…
Big no on the tye dye not enough acid in the world for me to buy that. Purple eeh and I don't like gold hardware regardless of how it looks with the color. I do like the black pick ups and I'd take P90 over most other pick ups. Blues is the music I like most. The natural finish are usually very good looking and as far a burst I like iced tea and tobacco but that first one is exceptionally nice. Great job as always.
Dan's guitar is stunning!
Super 400 a Junior ! I love those inlays. Customs just look right in any color.
Great review, Thanks .
Love tidied. Miss the 70s!
Outstanding!
Way to go, Trogly. A fine and colorful episode.
Heartwood Maple Cap LP for me!
I’m rocking the purple one.
As a PRS fan, that last purple LP was a stunner... I feel at home with a top like that
I don't think Gibson was very fancy until prs showed up. I'm not sure of that but just thinking back.
@@stringlocker Yeah not sure. But I know that Gibson very much keeps tabs on what PRS is doing as they're taking quite a large market share these days
that last one would be the purple velvet guitar
Purple, then the first one
Damn, that buzzo 90s super 400 custom is already gone again?
That koa looks like root beer candies.
That purple is surreal💜
Well I loved the first guitar burst I love it. You lost me on the rest as I'm a traditional les Paul person as you know
And go!
Definitely the quilted top purple custom.
...logo. keep up the great work!👏👍🎸😎 ps when are they going to give us a LP emoji?
there is the one - and then others others are different some are the same compare the others with the first ones and put them into order then compare them again and work out which ones are different once you have worked out the differences and put them into order then you can go to bed and have a sleep then what is great is that tomorrow you can do it all again...
Yay!!!

I’m 13 hours late.
That purple quilted LP looks like it was designed from Prince's bedsheets or something
You should check out the Walla Walla guitar company they make some nice unique guitar's
Trogs up in this bish
Indeed YES
That tye dye is sick!
LES is MORE!
I think a aged vintage burst would be even cooler than the factory burst..idk why more ppl don't make a exclusive like that
