21:36, Oooh Trogly, you Sneaky-Sneak!
I do hope that someday you will tell the story and reveal and document the imposter!
Great review Austin,
I've always liked Push-Tone, and while not as advanced as later instruments the Push-Tone perfectly exemplifies Gibson's quirky way of doing things.
Use mineral oil for the fingerboard. The Lemon Oil is ill-advised because the lemon extract in oil can sometimes damage lacquer finishes over long a period of time/usage.
C.F. Martin advises I use inexpensive Drug Store Mineral Oil for conditioning the ebony fingerboard of my JC-16KWS.
Curly Ebony Fingerboard!
If you ever get a chance take a close look at GOTW #9 Les Paul Supreme Autumburst as it has a rare curly ebony fingerboard, that is why there are no inlays on that model!
Suggestion, if you like the P94 in the neck position you really should try a Seymour Duncan Phat Staple pickup.T he Staple pickup is basically a Dynastic Pickup in construction. Imagine a large P90 sized coil with individual pole piece magnets and an output of about 10K Ohms, perfect for your Les Paul Jazz guitar.
Super cool episode. Like you, I love and embrace the weird and unusual. Thanks for another great episode!
Haven't watched yet. But really interesting to see how he made a 40min video about a guitar with no pickups. Lol.
LOL, I never looked at it that way, you are spot-on correct.
Half of his videos are how much he loves the cases. I get the vibe that he wants to throw the guitars away to only review cases. There will probably be a few interruptions as he turns the camera off so we can't see what he's doing with the cases. 😂
I think the wisdom of not using lemon oil on maple fretboards comes from most maple fretboards being finished. Unfinished maple can be conditioned with oil, so I believe this fretboard should be fine to condition.
Please correct me if I’m wrong though.
Dude, I was working at Strings n' Things Memphis at the Madison store, in about 2000, and we had one of these unfinished guitars with the demo pickups. I just thought that was the coolest thing ever, and It was ever so long ago, but I would have sworn it was a custom. I thought it was so cool I actually designed a 3d printable modular guitar body, but never had the money to print it from anything strong enough... eh well, anyways, it's awesome to hear more about this fabulous and wacky guitars!
you should contact that store and ask for it !!!
Print with nylon infused with carbon fiber would suit that purpose, but shit will be expensive to print; maybe like $500+ for the whole print lol
You know, looking back at GOTW vs GOTM... it's surprising how many GOTWs I really like and want to check out, and how I could do without basically every GOTM. Like, that 3 single coil SG is somewhere in between a strat, an SG melody maker, and a 3 pickup SG custom. Despite being unique, it's familiar. I love it. And then you have GOTMs which... all are pretty much HH setup guitars with very few quirks. They feel pretty uninspired.
Your not supposed to put oil on a lacquered fretboard, but any kind of unfinished wood needs oil. Same applies for acoustic bridge wood.
The magnets in the body (that hold the pickups in place) provide a magnetic field, and the wiring in the guitar will still pick up the changes in the magnetic field due to the strings vibrating. Even though the signal will be super weak, there still IS a signal, and cranking your gain will boost that signal enough to get amplified.
That would explain the microphonics as well. Although the P94 is most likely unpotted.
kool this dude pretty much laid it out that was my guessing the ground will still be connected like he said there is a magnetic field, its like the lumitones the 1 wrap of aluminum that surrounds the magnet gets boosted way up with a transformer which your gain pedals are acting like
Totally worth the wait!! The thing is beautiful and sounds great. I really like the Maple inlays. The only thing I would like to see included, is the wood cut out should have been in the case to fill the hole for single pup' set up. And, yeah, H- bridge, P-Neck is my fave. The name- meh, Studio Plus Convertible tells the story. Ü
I wait for you to post every single night. I love this channel ❤ ..thank you for what you do trogly
thanks for watching!
Ditto
les paul with natural top and without pickup rings are gorgeous
I totally agree 👍
Yeah I agree. pick up rings and knobs can make or break a guitar for me. I've seen so many beautiful guitars totally ruined with black rings and knobs. I once had a butterscotch Ibanez with black rings and knobs and a black Epiphone Les Paul with cream rings and gold knobs. I swapped everything and boom I had 2 much better looking guitars. A murdered out Les Paul and a really classy vintage looking Ibanez.
Agree thought the same
I always feel like playing guitar after watching Trogly. It's a win-win!
Gorgeous top. I'd buy it just for that. And the exposed maple edge is a great alternative to a binding.
What I liked about Tone Pros, aside from the string changes and sustain, it also prevents the height adjustment wheel-screws from creeping down. I notice on some of my guitars without tone pros, the bridges can kind of slowly lower themselves (maybe it's the strings pushing down on it at all times) I notice the same thing with non-locking floyd rose posts.
Correct about the bridge lowering over time. Considering the constant vibration and tension of the strings pushing it down, little by little some designs can indeed lower them selves over time.
I am kind of shocked (in a pleasant way) at how much I like those LP Standard inlays in maple!
If I remember correctly, the dealer model mentioned had the pickups mounted on wooden (maple?) Blocks and that added considerable weight and it was very unbalanced. May have just been the one (2?) I saw but it was really meant for display and literally just hearing the different tones. Not for playing/gigging.
One feature of a LP that is under-discussed is balance of the weight. I have played many LPs in my life. 50s-very current. One thing I have noticed is that balance (to me) seems more important than scale weight. I have played 12 lb Les Pauls that felt like 9, and 10lb ones that I would have sworn weighed 15 lbs (25/75 is an example of a heavy body that felt very unbalanced to me). The dealer version of the "swappable pickups" demo guitar felt (again only one or 2 I have held) felt very very unbalanced and "butt heavy" and my perception was that it was "too heavy". Just my $0.02
That’s a gorgeous top!
And P94s are waaay underrated!
I put one of a these on a Epiphone Sheraton (bridge) and it sounds amazing!
(Unfortunately I found only one available and the neck pickup now is a Seymour Duncan Phatcat, which has the same p90 humbucker size purpose, and it sounds also pretty good)
I have an SG I put P94s in, smokin. Almost as good as my 72 SG Pro with P90s. (recently semi retired closet queen)👍
SD P-Rail is pretty awesome too. I have a P-90 LP and the P-Rail P-90 coil comes very close to a 'real' P-90. Plus versatility in switching options with the Rail coil.
Neat guitar. I have always liked the exposed maple 'binding' look.
I played one of these @ guitar center, it was cheaper, but it had several more pickup options, and the pickups connected to the guitar via pins, that did not need connecting. There was no smoke covered hole, so I could not look at the circuit board.
One thing I was able to do easily, was turn the neck pickup around, aka Peter Green mod. No wires needed pluggin in, as it had contact plates. Now after looking all over at the other examples, It looks like that was a modification that was made, and it was made specifically to make it easier, AND to do the out of phase, AND there are no more examples that have this feature, or none that I can find.
Other luthiers made pickups for this guitar, and someone has made a similar system in a kit, but it requires cutting holes thorough your guitar.
Those bare quick connect pickup wires still do have a weak electromagnetic field, so you’re hearing that with the gain cranked.
It would have been better to have a quick connect in the plastic and matching pins in the body, so pushing it into the body also connects the wiring, AND have the pickups held in with like a moving claw, so you can switch new pickups on much easier (well, you’d still need to connect the pickup wires to the quick connect… there’s ways of soldering or crimping pins onto the wires and just pushing the pins into the connector.
Having a system where the connectors are integrated into the removable modules would have been an entire engineering procedure to itself. Doing that in a reliable way that won't wear out or break from corrosion, ham fistedness, etc. isn't straight forward; going through that trouble for a single limited edition guitar makes no sense.
Even that aside though, there's no way that little pig tail of a wire is contributing to noise in an appreciable manner.
That's a beautiful guitar. I really like the position markers.
This was pre 2008, but my local Gibson dealer had a les Paul like that to demo various pickups.
hey mate such a awesome great channel but the audio demos are really hard to hear what the axes sound like.can you tell me what soundcard your using and mic plus placement.a good 1073 neve or copy of one or a apollo uad twin with 1073 we can get you rocking. id love to help you fix this.please reply you need to fix it seriously cant hear the quality.will get a ribbon mic few feet from cab as well....your show is to good to not have this sorted
The Dan Armstrong plexiglass guitars had replacement pickups with a couple of terminals that snapped in like a battery. The body had a channel routed out in order to slide them in and out. Their double coil pickup was very loud - 13k - but you had to order it. Love your show!
Is also possible to reverse the pickups ??? I saw one guitar like this where the guy demoing the guitar put the neck pickup in the bridge and the bridge in the neck...if so I would try 2 neck pickups. The p90 neck and burst neck
Personally, I love the quick connect system and the pcb for the controls, and I am super glad they did that. It's much neater looking in the cavity, cleaner. More work for someone who wants to mod and keep the board. Soldering those is more tedious than just the wires and pots, and takes up the excess space that you would normally have if you decided to add some extra switches, but I would just change the pots to push/pull pots rather than add switches. I recently saw on on reverb that someone put slide switches for phasing and coil splitting and wired them to the back plate. Bad idea if you ask me. Seems easy to accidentally hipshot the switches. I had to pass on that. This Las Paul is cool though. And I didn't know about the demo guitar, never seen one in a guitar shop. Would be cool to get one with all the pickups. I bet it's pricy.
Why is it a problem to use 2 hands to pull your Jack out? Some Jacks are bigger than others.
Great episode! I find these things fascinating kinda like watching something about retro tech but in the guitar industry.
My epiphone les paul does that, i can hear the sound through neck pickup when I am at the bridge position and I turn the bridge pickup volume all the way down. I thought it being the epiphone it has a faulty toggle switch. let me know if you have noticed the same too...
aside from the lack of binding, maple inlays, and pickup swapping features, this is really close to my old 2008 Standard (mine was the goldtop, so no flame maple). It had the same nickel tulip locking grovers, the same semi-transparent back plate (mine had it on the toggle route as well), the same PCB style, and the same Neutrik locking jack.
What would one of these videos be without what I have come to refer to as The Trogly Riff!
This is a gorgeous guitar.
I do not mind the lack of binding.
The maple cap is lovely.
The board is beautiful.
Being able to swap buckers n p94s is very useful.
I mean those are really the two main pickups you want in a Gibson. At least, from a stock Gibson.
The p94 pickup noise is a bit shitty, but I LOVE the Hum/P94 combo.
This is one of those guitar of the week RD reissues it has dirty fingers I love this thing that studio would be cool if it was a regular body with that top and the ebony fretboard with m.o.p inlays 🤘👍
There’s one of those shop model demo guitars on Reverb right now for around 5 grand. Comes with six pickup sets: 57s, P90s, Mini Humbuckers, etc. seems really cool
i own the 2008 Gibson les paul GOTM. i thought it was pretty cool back then. i've pulled (pushed) pickups more to show others than i do for myself. These went for $2500.00 new in 2008 so holding value last i looked. The p-94s are such high output and love the sound of it. not sure why your pick ups are so microphonic but sounds good. so what is that i see at 21:40? some neck inlay on a gibson oh my.
2:26 - GOTW #47 White 84 Explorer with EMGs... Yes... I would rock that. OMG, would I rock that...
Fun Fact Trogly. Brian May's Red Special had a quick connect system in the design when it was completed in 1964! He didn't end up utilizing it (as the pickups need to be modified to be used with it, though he never switched pickups so he could have) but all the hardware is still in the guitar. It's a good design too, check it out. The guitar is fascinating in general. I would totally recommend Brian's book on it. Careful though, it's a slippery slope to obsession, I can vouch for that ;)
You should totally buy a BMG Super to review on the channel!!!
Hey Trog, beautiful guitar. Ya know, without a neck pickup it's got the Malcom Young vibe. Thank you
I'm a troglodyte. It feels weird saying it, but it is true.
Nice! Do you think a studio player would have benefited most from having equipment that could change to match the needs of many different bands? I would really like the versatility of being able to do swapping because I would never have the money to own multiple guitars, but this guitar would let me try virtually many guitars. LOL I would also get P90s and lots of other pickups from different manufacturers to load into it for different sounds. Having those pickup modules made would be pretty easy to do because fabricating the mounting plate and modding the other pickups to fit into them is simple. Do you think it is one for your display collection or is going to another some day?
I like the maple inlays with the natural maple top.
The ones that came out recently are from Relish. I have one. :)
I almost bought one years ago as I thought the easy swapping from humbucker to p90 was cool but it just didn't work very well and I found the guitar very very noisy when the p90s were fitted ( more noisy than normal) and the pulling in and out of the connector just screams problems for a gigging guitar as did the stupid jack socket. Love the look of no pickup rings just not thought out properly.
Bonus points for mentioning Phil X.
Trogly! Great video as always! You could do a Tom Sholz Model or put the upper humbucker in upside down so you have a Peter Green/Gary Moore model lol!( use your pinky on your lead runs more lol)..
I wonder why they didn't use some kind of contact connector, like those used in cordless phones or powertools. Noise, maybe?
Looking these up on Reverb
This is making me seriously consider swapping in P94 pickups into my double-humbucker-equipped guitars. I'm thinking about ordering a couple of guitar kits in the spring, this may be the pickup combination I throw in those.
I really like how that P94 sounds in the neck with the humbucker in the bridge.
Actually within the USA Gibson lineup there where chambered guitars before 2007. The Les Paul Standard DC from the late 90s where chambered.
The Neutrik locking jack plug, that's easy fixed. Pull out the locking mechanism, or swap it out for a Neutrik without the lock. I use those locking connectors on speaker boxes. That's where they come into their own.
Perhaps still getting a sound when switched to a pickup that is missing indicates how much signal bleeds through even when a particular pickup is not selected. This gives some support to claims that the less switches/pickups etc. you have, the better the sound. Being able to swap pickups relatively easily is a great way to select which pickup combination works best for you.
DEFINATELY lends credence to the "one pickup" guys (like they guys who swear the LP Jr is Gibson's best guitar) and they guys who take one out (I believe EVH did this frequently)
If you could pull on the neutrik and it clicked out of lock, then you could unplug with one hand.
Plugging back in would reset and lock.
That’s a beautiful Guitar of the Month. It’d be fun to collect them all. ♥️🎸
It was fun. My wife panicked and was worried I'd try for the 2007 Guitar of the Week set. So when I was agrivated with her I would print out 3 or 4 of them off Ebay and leave them in the printer for her to find. That's fun too.😁
@@rockdaddy2168, ha!! This is great. Wives really love to see guitars being delivered. 😂🤣
If so Dan Armstrong acrylic guitars did something similar to this where you could slide the pickups in-and-out of them And change that easily
Wild Custom Guitars' Gyrock is the spinning pickup system with a switch on the body
I could have had a Push Tone, done in a blackburst Joe Perry Signature model, but what killed the deal was the fact that the shop had an entire range of Push-Tone pickups but would only include ONE pair for 1300 dollars. And no discount on ANY of the other shop-worn Push-Tone pickups. If they'd given me something of a deal I'd have gone for it.
The maple inlays look great
I like this Guitar I think it’s pretty cool because I’m not crazy about pickup rings and pick guards in most cases especially on a guitar with a top that’s this nice. What’s the thing that is unique about this guitar is if you want to try out a lot of different pick ups quickly and efficiently is possible.
I love the maple inlays
34:45 imaggine pickups on the inside walls of the holes i wonder what the sound would be or make an acoustic guitar back for it and see how it sounds as an acoustic? New les paul acoustic idea 🤣 Bet it would sound sweet having that weight and solidness to it but with a resonating acoustic back
That guitar is gorgeous - the neck is stunning with those wood inlays! Not a big fan of the pickup tho...would likely swap for burstbucker pros. Love ur channel BTW!
About guitars with quickly changable pickups. Relish does it nicely, with the whole back of their instruments held by magnets
Can you adjust the pickup heights?
The sound coming out of the bridge position with no pickup there, but with neck pickup installed, and vice versa, is crosstalk. Guitar wiring is not "discrete", which frankly annoys me because your neck and bridge pickups will always be very slightly mixed in when either are selected which sometimes influences each solo position in a negative way. I've been thinking of this a lot lately and would like to solve this on my guitars.
If you look at the picture of Guitar of the Month you will see there are 12 guitars and when you read them off you left out the Silver Diablo and the Holy V. Of all of them I personally find the Holy V with a 500T pickup the easiest and most comfortable to play. A no frills bare bones rocker. At the other end of the spectrum I like the 50th Anniversary V. The Diablos both have a chunky neck and I find them difficult to play. The Long Horns have a medium neck and really are suited for jazz, however, with EMG pickups you really have to dial them back. The Explorer with the kevlar lightning bolt pick guard, many refer to it as the Gumby because of the headstock, plays very well too. I especially like the gearless tuners. The Shreds are ok if you like a wide flat fretboard.
I am well acquainted with all of them as I have the whole set in mint condition. I dont play them anymore. I have another player grade Shred V I use some and am looking for a player grade Holy V, my favorite. The Push Pull is a neat gadget but I have several Les Paul's with a variety of pickups so I didn't see much point in it. I dont have the rattle or microphonic problem with the bridge pickup that one has. Maybe why it was for sale? This has a beautiful top on it and plays great. Love the way it looks. Good demo.👍
Nice collection Sir, no easy task acquiring each of them.
@@hkguitar1984 When I realized I had 4 2008 guitars already it only made sense to complete the set. Not an easy task looking for mint examples. Took awhile. Some people hunt for vintage cars, some hunt for baseball cards, I like the hunt for guitars and amps. I also have an example of all the Rivera TBR amplifiers (all working) in one tall road case on casters. (Useless to try to move, weighs about 1000 pounds, seriously 1000) Unusual stuff.
Relish Guitars uses this modular pop in pop out pickup system now, too bad Gibson didn't keep a line going forward with this. But then all you really need is a proper P-90 equipped guitar, no modules required.
Yes, I remember one of them has the top and back held on with magnets, so you can store the extra pickups inside… way out of my price range though.
I just got one of those, a few days back. Sound and playability is great!
I never liked the shape of relish guitars but the concept is awesome. They could make tons of money if they licensed out their system to other manufacturers.
One of the p90s is a bit different in color, I wonder if they started that way?
Trigger warning:
When you took both pickups out and still got some sound. that was the TONEWOOD ^_^
Strings N Things in Memphis had one of these
I have on of these May 2008 Les Paul Push Tone guitars, mine is number 047. It’s one of my favorite Les Pauls because of the variety of tones and it’s just a great playing guitar. I had a similar issue with the bridge P94, microphonic and sounded like a serious ground issue. It also had a very weak signal from the bridge pickup so I sprayed contact cleaner down the shafts of both bridge pickup pots and the volume returned and the ground issue disappeared along with the microphonics. Great video!
I just bought #48, from Guitar Center (laughs)
Congratulations. I hope you enjoy it.@@ThatGuysGuitars
Thanks! Arrives Tuesday. @@ericoswood1856
Plug n play pickups are a great idia if it could jst get standardized..this guitar is beuitiful though
I love the idea of being in a store and being able to either try a set of pickups I want, or match the pickups to what I have to test a pedal or something.
That P pickup in the Bridge cuts 🔪 when distorted
Isn't a spec that differ Studios from Standards the body thickness, Studios are thinner than Standards iirc?
Do you think they will make more supremes.?
I really love everything about this guitar
Every Gibson pickup that was in the catalog at the time was available in a push-tone setup. I almost bought a push-tone Joe Perry Sig model but decided not to.
Put a semi clear cover over pickup cavities and some strobe lights/ black lights in it or something. Maybe it could pulse with the music lol.
Man my OCD would go nuts making sure then re-making sure over and over that I connected everything properly
That P94 neck is sick
If that locking Neutrik jack bugs you, they make a non-locking jack in the same form factor.
Gibson had some very nice guitars in the Guitar of the Week/Month . But at least one,the Reverse Flying V was a guitar monstrosity .Great video🎸👍
I really like the top without the binding, very nice!
That is one super nice looking guitar Mr Trogly. Great educational vid too mate. Greetings from NZ
That's a really simply beautiful guitar. I'm not a fan of Gibson, basically because of the price. Imo, there is no excuse for charging that much for an instrument. However I love the studios. They're generally well made and very customizable. This would be right up my alley.
I love your show.
Man" I admire you. I love Gibson. I can't afford one. lol" it is my dream to have Las Paul. I have a few ESP's. Thank you for what you do
Beautiful guitar!
i wonder if you can buy more pickup "cradles"?
and install more pickups into them.?
Austin, the best guitar I've ever owned has a Tone Pros TOM-style bridge on it, and I believe that I can tell you that the set screws DO help to increase sustain and improve tone. This bridge is one reason why the guitar it lives on IS the best I've ever owned!
Since the pickup swap is a modern idea, could of put a contoured heel and a belly cut on that. Is there such a thing already?
Myself and another Gibson employee, and good friend of mine were the designers of both the GOTW and GOTM programs. Would love to provide more info to you.
Have the blue longhorn and love it.
Very cool guitar, congrats Sir.
Can't you just plug a regular 1/4 in. instrument cable into a Neutrik and work just fine and won't lock?
@@shiftyfitter Yeah, I just checked with a Neutrik and wouldn't fit. I guess I was thinking of the combo XLR-1/4 connectors?
And thanks for your reply.
Glad I waited for the mystery discovery at the end!
Put the P-94's back in it. ;-)
Never knew they actually released these, had seen the store demo models
Not sure about the inlays, nice guitar tho
I love it would love to have it just no funds to work with at moment
I think that this guitar is absolutely Beautiful))
As well as versatile.. sounds great.. What's Not To Love?!))))
Thanks Austin!
I thought the reason you don’t use lemon oil on maple necks because they usually have a clear coat finish. It’s not like it’s bad for the wood or anything, there’s just no point. It won’t soak in.
I love the Top on this Guitar
