The Slim Harpos really are showing that Gibson is Rushing products out again to make money quick so they don't feel bad when the financial quarter rolls in. The pandemic doing it's economic damage
If I was able to I would buy that wine paul. One of my favorite colors on the 70s ones.
I think stew mac has all the screws and bridges and tail pieces you would want.
Trogly, great job! I enjoyed this video the best! Please bring back the blacklight and the way you did your playing demo, imo was better than normal! Awesome doc, beaut cherry custom, thank you!
You may want to see if those aren't Tim Shaw Pickups in that '82 Custom.
Mine had them in there.
I always applaud Trogly's calm reaction to dissapointment. He doesn't get irate, just tries to figure out a solution. Good on him
But maybe he edited out the ranting And irate phone calls to the seller lol....nah you are right tho
He wears a t-shirt that says "Outwardly I'm smiling, inwardly I'm killing you."
Exactly! 👍
The world would be a better place if we all took that approach
he’s such a good guy, next guitar i buy is gonna be through his guitar day program, i’d love to see guitar i buy be on his channel, would increase its value to me personally
You can easily check the polarity of single coils with a compass.
If you lay the guitar flat and hold the compass flat near the top (12:00)
of the pickup, the needle should point SOUTH for both. With a Strat, the middle
pickup will swing NORTH as it is supposed to be out of phase. Fun fact for today.
Unless you have the compass or guitar upside-down. Not disagreeing, just thinking that a *wee* more detail in terms of orientation might help. 🙂 Which I could have provided instead of all the preceding. But, I think that's against the rules of UA-cam? 🤔 Gosh, this is tough!
The compass does not help if you have not only the polarity of the magnet reversed but the windings as well like on a lot of Strat Pickups which are both reversed polarity of the magnets and of the windings. What can be done is to connect a Voltmeter in DC-range to the guitar and take the largest suitable screwdriver, place it on the pickup and move it quickly away from the strings. Then you will get a reading with a polarity on your voltmeter. If one PU shows a different polarity then they are out of phase.
Humm Wine Red Les Paul demo coming up.. Jerry Cantrell "Wino" sig review incoming?
Was thinking the same...damn I want that guitar!
Exactly the thing I was thinking
He replied to a comment from the video yesterday saying there was a review and demo of the "wino" coming, so yes definitely.
@@andrewkelley3434 I'd love to have one myself. It was a limited run though and they will probably all sell like hotcakes at a hefty premium.
Guitar engineers - "We destroyed the guitars finish by attaching this pickguard that will protect the guitars finish"
They did try that no screw pickguard that snapped into the sides of the pickup rings, but no one liked it. 🤷♂️
My pick has never hit that part of the guitar.
@@joermnyc oh, I adore it, I just can't find em secondhand
I really don't like pickguards on Les Paul's.
@@Forest_Fifer I think they have their place. Maybe not on burst or transparent finishes, but they look smart on a gold top or tuxedo. Especially with 3 pickups
38 seconds my record man, Trogly came just in time to save me from my boring evening
I’m taking it he got a Jerry Cantrell wino .
Yup
Own too many Norlin Les Pauls and your house will collapse into a black hole due to the extreme weight.
Made my day 😁😁😁
That's no shit either.
I had 2 different Norlin Era Les Paul's when I was 14/15.
Those were My first REAL Gibson LPs because back then (late 1980s) they were undesirable and relatively cheap at an average price of about $500 to $600 for an average condition standard and about $150 or so more for a custom. I would compare them to the brand new Gibsons that they had at the store and the weight difference was huge.
One of the 2 that I saved up for and bought was a 3 pickup Les Paul Artisan. It sat at the store for months before I bought it (because nobody wanted them) and a couple years later it took me a long time to sell it (because nobody wanted them) It was all original, in better than average condition, played really nice and of course it was extremely heavy. Bought it for $600 back then and sold it in 91' or 92' for $500.
Nobody appreciated Norlin Era Gibsons back then and EVERYONE thought that the Artisan modle was particularly ugly. Look at the prices now.
It was a different time.
23:43 vintage under blacklight melts my heart!
I received my first guitar from Reverb ever today. I filmed it in case there was any damage. It pointed out to me what a stellar and pro job you do with your show as you did this every video. My disappointment was the odor of smoke and beer from the case. But the guitar was exactly as described and packaged well. I learned what makes a good packing or not from your show and this guy did it all. Thanks for the show T. Soon I’ll prolly be getting one from your Reverb shop LOL.
I did not know how much I missed the black light tests until today!
Stew Mac sells the exact sized replacement screws for both Fender and Gibson instruments.
A couple years back a purchased over 100 various replacement screws for about $30, worth the time and trouble to choose many different sizes to have on hand.
Took a satin finished LP and applied some Virtuoso and it gave it a gloss that almost matched my other LP's gloss finish. Amazing stuff!!
I've been packing around the original box for my 2021 60s style les paul standard in the back of my truck(I have a topper) for like 3 months now. I keep thinking in not going to need it but haven't been able to convince myself to get rid of it lol! Your video today has not helped me decide one way or another. On another note, I freaking love the guitar! I can't get over how nice it looks and plays!
Everytime I see a red wine Les Paul I think of my friend Terry who knew Les. He asked Les to sign his guitar and Les took a flat head screwdriver and carved into the back of the guitar,"To Terry from Les Paul".
Nooo.
Like that's awesome and WTF at the same time
Les should have just pissed on it
Might get some of that magnetic field display sheet stuff. Would be neat to see the field
one of the best Les pauls I ever played was an early 80s custom in metallic gray(gun metal gray?) with chrome hardware, brand new in a music store and I was just a teenager but I could still how much better it was than anything else I'd played at that time in my experience, just a SUPER great guitar
Funny you mention that. It's like when I bought my little Martin last winter that guitar center in Brownsville claimed was new, (a limited run of a special x in Rosewood) came in a fender box, I knew something was up right away, and that showed very quickly as a used instrument. :-(
Back in 2001 or 2, I had a black Epiphone Les Paul that I bought new at Guitar Center. It was new, but I did a really comprehensive setup, fret leveling/crowning/polishing, etc. Then I replaced all the cream colored plastic with Gibson new black poly. It ended up looking a lot like that first guitar you opened. It played as close to a Gibson LP Std as it could, too. Wish I still had it.
Nice to see an older guitar like this that has been enjoyed throughout its lifetime ao far but also well taken care of too. Nice guitar and it cleaned up well!
The nasal quack from out-of-phase pickups makes that position between the 2 of them sound like the electric sitar.
I love work bench segments in unboxing videos, it's a really nice surprise
I love Trogly's Cajun accent when he calls these New Orleans era guitars N'Orlins!
Such a dumb guitar joke but it still got a chuckle out of me. What can I say, I like dumb jokes.
@@paulyguitary7651 If it wasn't for dumb jokes, I'd have no jokes at all!
That wine red custom is amazing. Love it.
I bought my 1979 Custom a few years ago because I like the thin necks. Definitely getting harder to find.
Love that yellowed binding!
This was a nice and really vintage (in every possible way) episode, loved it
Hi, regarding the Slim Harpo, and "out of phase" magnets...P90 pickups have 2 magnets each...so to change phase of the magnets in a P90, Both magnets need to be "flipped" or "spin around backwards"...AND the magnets facing the pole screws need to be OPPOSING...so in others words north to face north, or south to face south.
seeing how specific a truss rod is i couldnt suggest getting a thread rod from the hardware store.
however depending on what you mean "maxed out".
if you mean that the threads only go down an inch or 2 you could.
1. use washers so the nut wont bottom out at the end of the threaded section.
2. if you are up to cutting threads you could get a thread cutter and cut the threads down further.
the fruity smell could also be.
1. a manufacturer experimenting with new paint or varnish formula and it is degrading.
2. a ketone similar to diabetic ketone is used in the manufacturing or the paint or varnish is turning into ketones.
I have 2 1976 Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Customs I just love how they play , sound and look 2 of my favorite guitars. I like your reviews and info. I been temped to send 1 of the 1976 to Gibson to have the neck replaced or professionally repaired because of headstock cracked and I repaired it in 1990 when it happened. I just don't know if that would be worth it. I like that wine red LPC
Out of phase pickups are also quieter. Phase cancellation kills part of the signal, hence the thin, nasal, funky sound (get down, get down).
Now that the flip-out Winder tuners are coming back on new guitars will this mean that you can buy them in the Gibson parts department? I'd love to have a set on one of my Les Paul's I don't care if they're not from the 70's or 80s reissue is good enough for me
You can buy anything you want from Gibson for the right price. They are a douchebag company.
They're coming back? On which model?
@@TheAlexFromGalax On the why the fk would you need that many turns to stop slipping model. What are you building a broken slinkey? Did flying a kite not teach you anything?
You can't reel a hundred feet of garbage on top of itself in no order, and expect it to come out roses.
Hahaha!!!
@@ipissed is that the Historic spec Why The Fuck Would You Need That Many Turns To Stop String Slip Model? 😜
Try 3M ultra fine glaze for the final to remove swirl works best for final on painted surfaces..removes the haze..use it on the plastic covers as well!! You will love it...here in Miami it's about $45 for a big liter size bottle. Last forever!! You will def use more than l for sure but there's nothing better for that final mirror finish!
i really apreciate a vintage guitar Review from time to time !
The wino custom looks nice!
I could only find one set of those tuners on reverb. I just love them and don’t know why they ever stopped using them.
Bruh! Not only was the trussrod maxed it out, but you could even tell it had a metal "shim" to add more "length" to it :O Also a question: I know the Custom Shop itself only opened in the 90s, but were Custom version models (Les Paul or SG Custom for example), pre-historic reissues, and very special editions (like the The Les Pauls) made in the same factory as regular models such as Standards, Juniors, Specials, etc)?
Yes made in the same factory on the same production line. The same with the special orders. Also the eighties limited editions with the "Custom Shop Edition" sticker and the one offs with the " Custom Shop Original" stickers.
This wine red Les Paul looks amazing I love it ! The agin color on the binding and headstock is perfect
I’ve wanted to buy a Norlin era custom for the longest time but I’m always scared of getting one with problems or issues that the seller didn’t disclose or I didn’t pick up on. This video was super helpful, and greatly appreciated. Really liked that break down of the Norlin LP and how you assessed it. Man I want that guitar so bad.
Glad you’re getting back to business with the Norlin stuff! I’ve watched every single video on this channel, learned a ton and I thank you!
If you get a snap on ratcheting screwdriver it will help with the semi stripped screws. They have the most grip of any screwdriver I have tried
What do you use to clean and condition the fret board?
Do you say you may use tools and attempt to redo the truss rod on the black studio? I would like seeing that if you have posted the go around.
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
Greg in the HOUSE!!!
We love you Greg wallmart aword for being soo cool😁 🍪
I always use lemon pledge to polish my guitars. It never fails to make them look amazing and they stay dust free for a long time. 40 plus years now...
You should try a decent set of screw extractors. Though I am not sure if they make them small enough for those tiny screws.
I have a set that does have a small size (barely), but I can’t recall where I bought them (stew mac may have something as well.)
For striped screws, just use a rubber band that you put between the screwdriver and the screw, It gives the extra needed grip.
Quick tip : When your pickups screws , pickguard screws or strap button screws , just break a tooth pick inside and screw back in... Rock solide again , you can even put a drop of glue in it.
That little roll you did sounded sweet..I do that but not as well as you..mayb I need a bass
I was strictly a fender guy for a long time. But I really have come to appreciate the 335 and LP. My favorite era for Gibson and fender is the late 60s early 70s. Even though everyone hates them. Actually, last night there's a band I've gone to see a few times and Always admired the guitar players Les Paul. Last night he let me play it. It's a 1970 Gibson Les Paul artist. It has the big gold LP on tht headstock. Everything original. It was freaking spectacular. His wife bought it for him new.
Thanks for the virtuoso reference. Enjoyed your selected reviews and analysis.
Bought a brand new custom in white in 1975. I was 18. That guitar would never tune and the neck felt like butter. I was told oh sometimes they’re just like that. I should have sent it back to Gibson being the original owner. Sold it about twenty years ago for same as I bought it for. Mixed feelings still today.
I love that out of phase sound on the Slim Harpo
It could entice me to get one if I could spare the cash
The binding really stands out on that red . . . And the headstock . . . What a gem.
Great work with the clean up and neck condition on the wine red ..the tone is all there, gorgeous '
Simple toothpicks cut to size fill the hole with a touch of hide- glue, let dry & screw down the pickups
Not a big fan of red guitars but there's just something about that custom that I'm really digging.
I had a 75 LPCustom chrome hardware always liked it better !!! wish I had it back
I loved that middle position on the last guitar, had a Doobie Brothers vibe to it!
speaking of guitar polish, I have a 70's les paul special that ive love to get shiny again but whatever polish i put on a small area, it instantly takes off the sheen and makes it go cloudy. I have tried gibson polish, fender polish and even tcut! but no avail. what can a man do?
Trogly , here's a tip for all your screws and parts when repairing & changing strings i use a magnetic dish to hold any screws and small parts from disappearing . Do you ever weight the guitars the 70's Norlins were known to be very heavy ?
I think there all awesome !!! What's wt6 with out of faze ???? Especially for blues??
I Hate to store Boxes, Yet one half of my House is a Gymnasium
But is it? This is is old house studio, we haven't seen many vids from the new studio yet, and I'm left wondering if the deal fell through.
@@jimmyjames2022 who knows
if you have the tools and if its an easy fix the truss rod thing might not be an issue anymore?
how do you remove the bad truss rod?
A Luthier friend of mine a mentor really, he left me a tool he had made for fixing overtightened Truss rods. It's a fantastic tool, i've seen similar ones but they are for larger scale engineering and it isn't gauranteed to work every time. Depends on how much stick the Truss rod has been given but it's basically a slide Hammer. Over tightened Truss rods suck.
3:30 The custom LP in chrome are beatifull :)
I thought a maxed out truss rod and stretched bolt means it [possibly] broke through the wood from the other end, and needs to be broke down [de laminate] the fretboard all the way and that repair made, and re assembled. There is a guitar repair video out here on YT about that issue. Sorry on that one. I am very weary on buying used guitars since the 80's cause people have rubber stamps and all kind of re-pro tools out there.
Chrome looks great at first but over time it mismatches the rest of the guitar. Way better to go nickel
How did happen to the bridge and tailpiece?
After getting 2 out of phase I thought it might have been on purpose. The Peter Green LP tributes are magnetically out of phase and its a cool sound on humbuckers since they’re pretty thick toned normally.
Those Slim Harpo ES's look amazing. Your demo didn't really come through my speakers as a "bad" thing. Dual p-90 guitars are like Telecasters in a way. Getting the sound you are chasing is really subjective.
I absolutely love that first custom... And then the truss rod gets shown lol
That was a cool that not only the did the first Les Paul get a seriously good packing but the the case was in a shipping bag. I wish I could remember the name of a product made specifically for cleaning controls and or pots. It's made in Thibodaux Louisiana and used by corporations such as communications companies and originally for NASA. If I come across the name I'll relay it to you on one of your videos.
Trogly should tune that hollow body guitar.
Yikes. Yeah.
To fix the stripped screw holes just use pieces of a toothpick, old family secret!!!
The posi lock strap buttons work well from my experiences, but I can't say I'd trust them on my Les Paul.
Try turning one volume on the Harpo down to 8 and one on 10. It clears up that quack.
Whenever I encounter a screw that just keeps turning, I just put a little super glue in the hole. Not a lot, you don’t want to fill the hole with glue. I use a thick gel super glue. Squeeze some out onto a piece of paper. Then take a toothpick and put a little glue on the tip. Put it in the hole then kind of wipe the glue off the pick like you would with a paintbrush, wiping off excess paint on the rim of the paint can. Do that a couple times, just putting glue on the sides of the hole. Let it dry. That’s important, don’t put the screw in the hole before it dries. Once it drys you put the screw back in. You’re just trying to add a little something to narrow the hole and give the screw something to grip. Be careful to not get glue on the guitars finish. Maybe even mask it off with tape.
Thank you for showing pictures of the good and bad truss nuts
Hey Trogly, donner make a in line equalizer for petalboards can you review it please. Thanks! 😃Cheers from Newfoundland
I verry much second this!
Greetings and well wishes from Utah man
Another great show on vintage guitars, thanks Trogly!
I think a Wine Red LP looks awesome. The guitar would be too heavy for my beat up neck and shoulder but I thought it sounded great too. Congratulations to whoever buys that. I hope you either send that first one back or get a big discount from the seller. Another great video Trogly!
Oh the 77 wine red would go perfect next to my 77 black custom!!!
How do you fix a trust rod that’s been maxed out?
The black Custom is beautiful!!
Get the screw dimension and thread size, should be able to get them from a hardware store. The worst you might have to do is cut down the length.
Yeah there would be a reason someone had an out of phase pick up, one of the pickups is turned upside-down likely the the neck! look up Peter Green mod. No you can just flip one of the pickup, you don't have to take the magnet out! Out of phase is a sound dude! usually it's the neck pickup on a PAF guitar! But literally you just have to take unscrew the pick up and flip it no taking the magnet out!
Gibson called it 'Nickel' hardware, not chrome. I have a 1981 and it doesn't have those nifty tuners, nor the oversize strap buttons. No volute, either. John Sykes infamous Les Paul is from this same era. He claims that it's a 1978, which have nearly identical specs.
for the life of me i can't see neck curves or visible changes from truss rod adjustments. To me it's like trying to catch the hour hand moving on a clock. I'd like to see a video where that is really explained - maybe on that first LP
If you really want to view that, you need a notched strait edge. They come with 25.5 scale on one side and 24.34 scale on the other. Its a great tool if your serious about your truss rod / guitar set up / adjustments. Worth the small investment. 👍
Trogly, with regards to 70's neck shape and size and specifically 1976 which model has the thickest (baseball bat) neck - LP Custom, LP Standard or LP Deluxe?
"a little bit of distortion" GOES ROCK GOD MODE!
Man your demo playing has greatly improved.. haven’t obsessively watched in about 8 months since i got my lp.
I partied / played with the guy who owned that Les Paul back in 1986. Or it’s an identical guitar but I doubt it. It was the first time I had ever seen the chrome version, AND it was the first time I saw the chainsaw case, and flip out winding tuners. I was just in awe. It weighed a ton. I’m guessing upwards of ten pounds.
I’m a fan of the wine red with the aged cream color binding
how much sold the Red wine Custom for?
Really enjoyed this video! More like your older stuff, and I hope you do more like it on a regular basis!!!
Peace, Keith
That’s a nice sounding Les Paul. Nice and dark sounding neck pickup and a biting bridge pickup
The ‘Dave’s World of Fun Stuff’ luthier channel always checks the truss rod first, too!
Hey Austin, I have a set of flip out winding tuners that have the same exact footprint as the schallers you see on 80's gibsons but they arent marked schaller and have a korean name (jin-ho i believe) on the back of them, do you think these would still have good resale value for someone wanting flip out tuners without paying $200 plus? I have never been able to find anything about them online despite a ton of searching and have wondered if the knobs are genuine schaller and they where just installed on some tuners from a "lawsuit" type overseas made les paul, just curious your opinion on them, they seem to work great and i dont plan on selling them anytime soon because they look great on my norlin era inspired modded epiphone les paul custom!
