hey can someone please explain to me why this ebony fretboard is so superior to any other ebony fretboard i have ever played? what makes it so unique. its like your fingers glide on it. i know that its an expensve axe but for some reason on this type of wood or finish feels this way. i have played many other guitars with ebony fboards but none feel like this. are there any more guitar brands with a similar fretbord. not just ebony, but with this type of feel its like synthetic but in a good way
@kssork This is one of my earliest videos and while I have a system down now of posting videos, I didn't then...I fixed it though...and if I ever get some free time I'll go back and check the first hundred or so videos...sorry for the confusion...
@1Doz Thanks! You can get all the possible options if you re-wire it...lots of people take these 3 pickup models and wire 3 volumes and one overall tone...and with some push pull pots the possibilities are almost endless...I do miss this one...Sam Ash bought it way back when they had lost the Gibson line...I needed the money and they needed Gibson's on their walls...oh well, it was fun to play for a while...
@alca61 I could not afford to keep it for myself... :-( ...but it was nice to play for a while...I am always buying/selling guitars...it is a blessing to be able to try so many! (try translate.google.com because my French is bad) Thanks for watching!
Do not sell this guitar - you will regret it the rest of your life. Sit down, crack a beverage and play it. You will miss it when it's gone, trust me.
@MrCharbs It's long gone...shortly after this video. I only regret letting it go so cheap ($2500)...it was very cool, but I prefer simpler guitars...less inlays...and Rosewood fingerboards...thinner bodies...less weight...and I don't usually like a middle pickup (except Strat's and sometimes Firebirds). There are a bunch of guitars I regret letting go though...but I have lots of fun looking for replacements too. Thanks for watching!
@BGSXboxx The right strings (probably a 10-52 set at least) with the nut probably cut (widened to accommodate thicker than normal gauges) set up just right with the right amp and it could work great...I could see it working for me at least...a lot of it is touch (how you play it)...anything could work if you wanted it to...you could use a Tele if you wanted to...no rules...just whatever feels and sounds right for you. Have fun!
@greengtrs well right now i use my SG with a set of 10's and i can put it in drop b alright, would this work with 11's or 10's, and do the pick ups sound to mid-y or over tone-y ?
@BGSXboxx Buy it (not this one as it is long gone), try a set of 10-52's on it and I bet you'll like it...but I don't have it anymore, so I can't give you specifics...and I like a lot of midrange...that's what makes a guitar cut through the mix!
@RigorMortis203 Are YOU stupid? A beautiful guitar deserves any tuning. I don't see what changes the beauty there. If it was always in standard tuning it would get old and it would mean your not a good enough guitarist to play in diferent tuning.
@greengtrs Do you ever sell to guitar stores? Maybe GuitarCenter would've bought it for more, maybe not, they can be cheapskates, but maybe other places would dig it
@Noseheros Sam Ash bought this one for fair market value in an open/no reserve auction on eBay. My advice for anyone is not to sell your guitar (back) to a place like Guitar Center...or just about any store for that matter...they (at least most stores) give you next to nothing for it but once they have it they want twice the going market price...eliminate the middle man and sell it yourself on eBay or Craigslist...or sell it to me... :-)
you should donate that guitar to charity...the DrDoubleZero-needs-a-gibson-les-paul-custom-3-pick-up-gold-accessory-piece-of amazing-ness-from-heaven......im just sayin,,,,
@mandaltby I just have to go with the "I am blessed to get to play all these cool guitars" mentality or I'll go crazy...I've had so many incredible guitars pass through my hands...it was an amazing guitar...the nicest 3 pickup LP I've ever had my hands on (and I've had my hands on a bunch of them)...oh well, at least I got to play it and this gives me something to remember it by...wish I would have had the camcorder I use now for it though...the recording quality here sucks... Have a great day!
@lumaric01 Look for the videos of my green 1991 PRS (#300/300 of the original) Limited Edition Semi-Hollow Signature Series...that is my main electric guitar and has been since I got it...I personally chose the top from stacks of wood and ordered it with every feature (but one) that I wanted. I didn't get the flame maple veneer over the headstock because he told me it would delay it even more than the 9 -10 months it was going to take to make it. There are a few others...Maybe I'll do a video.
There's no use to show off... Stop pulling my nerves.... I hear some background noise... So there's no thing better than good master considering that... All Les Paul having that... I got that amended...
@hatehomework Look in the more info section under the video (click on any of the writing or the arrows and it expands the section) and I tell all there...thanks for watching!
this shit right here beats the living hell out of Dark Fire and Dusk Tiger (especially the ugly ass dusk tiger!) gibson's goin through a kinda experimental phase aren't they? rock on, awesome video.
I dig your picking style. Kinda Derek trucks. NO I don't care for slide guitar. Only Billy gibbons and Warren Haynes slide I like. Maybe Gregg allman's brother................too
Thanks! I can't play slide but I sure like (and have been influenced by) some great slide players. Derek is amazing...gave me chills the first time I saw him play live.
Rory Gallagher and Johnny Winter and then Mark Knopfler probably had the biggest influence on my picking style...maybe a little James Taylor too...
bah!, dont listen to those dickheads man you sound pretty good to me.They are just jealous cause you have a nice guitar and they probably have never even had decent jobs. Nice axe by the way, I have to admit though I too am a little jealous
As far as i know, all it takes to own "such of a expensive guitar" is the money to purchase it, not talent...and if you read the more info section or even listened all the way through this or some of my other demos you probably wouldn't say that. I am generally just doing a "demo" of the guitar to show that it works before I sell it (as was the case here)...not showing off my skills. Feel free to post a video response here though and show off your abilities to the world!
Yes...when you look at my eBay listings you will see not only lots of clear and large pictures (which you can super-size just by clicking on them), you also get the video "demo"...which is me playing it and demonstrating it...trying to show off the range of sounds, any features (or possible flaws) and that it works...when you buy from me, you KNOW what you are getting...I have 100% positive feedback and go above and beyond to keep it that way. FWIW, the quality of these videos has improved BT!
nice licks and amazing tone. i am buying one off the net, only problem is i wont have the chance to play it b4 buying. just wondering what is the akwardness level of middle pu when playing? is it just a matter of getting used to it or would u recomend going for the 2pu one instead?
The nicest I can be about this is the answer I gave just below...to me, this is more show than go...it is only one slightly different sound and that pickup gets in my way (and maybe it doesn't for some people and some playing styles) and as far as getting that one extra sound goes, reverse the magnet on one of the pickups and you get a great out of phase sound when you are on both pickups. Check out this demo "The best Gibson Les Paul Classic Gold Top in the world Demo' as that one has that mod.
Just got an old beat up/cut up, but incredibly playable Casino if your interested it is up on eBay right now...click on the more info section of the video for a link to my current offerings.
I feel the same about these (when they are good ones...). It's hard for me to deal with that middle pickup...it gets in my way, but I love the extra sound it gets! Thanks for watching and for your nice comments!
Yes...comments made with the eyes and not the ears! It's like taking on a definitive stance on apples being the best fruit (...and then there is the arguing over which type of apple...genre of Marshall...is best) when there are all sorts of other taste sensations among fruits that are amazing too.
wow I'm really surprised i thought sound quality was going to be pretty terrible but i was really surprised which just goes to show how amazing this guitar sounds
Thanks! I have a hard time watching most of my older videos because the sound quality is pretty bad...the first 20 videos I did were with a cheap digital camera set on video mode and you get the clicking sound while the camera tries to focus...the newer ones sound much better. It was a really, really nice guitar among nice guitars.
Whatever...pretty absurd comment really...some sort of prefudice going on there and you are not listening...just looiking or something. I've got 80's all Tube Laneys's and Marshall's and I choose to play through this one because it sounds great! Who do you think makes the new EVH amps? Fender KNOWS amps...they make the best clean sounding amps period and they finally figured out how to do great distortion and all I know is that it sounds great to my ears...and really that is all that matters.
It's a 35th anniversary model (of the Les Paul Custom) which would make it a 1989 since the Custom was introduced in 1954. I've got a video here for a real 1956 LP Custom and I'll be posting another one for it soon as it will be going up on eBay on a consignment deal this week.
This video is pretty old...one of my first 20...now I'm at 145 and adding more all the time...I got a real videocam at #21. This guitar got sold over a year ago...I am working on getting a near mint '78 LP Custom 2 pickup model in Black...hopefully in a few days...it's probably going to be around $3000.00 USD...maybe a little less...check the link under more infor to show what I currrently have on eBay...I'll be putting up about 12 more guitars in the next few weeks...
I myself am a Fender man... but im not like most ppl who like fender and hate gibson or gibson ppl who hate fender to me its whatever you like the best.
It got away well over a year ago for $2500. Most of my guitars sell within a few weeks or a month of me making these videos...I try to price my guitars very competitively and almost always sell them in a low start/no hidden reserve auction style listing on eBay...but I'm starting to sell more and more directly to my subscribers and people who see my videos here...Subscribe and keep an eye out for new videos I post...
It will probably be about $3000.00...everything is original and all the latches still work on the case (a rarity)...this guy takes great care of his stuff and he has owned it since day one...we are still talking...I fell in love with it when I bought a few of his other guitars...this is his last electric...we are talking about some trades...he has been more acoustic oriented lately...so it is a good possibility in the very near future.
Well actually you could order the '57 reissue with 3 pick ups or 2 pickups, Bigby or not, from Gibson Custom Shop when I got mine in 2005. As it turns out, if you do some reading, that original Black Beauty came with either 2 and 3 pickup. The original 2 pickup models are fairly rare, obviously quite valuable. Hence - no, three pickup models DO NOT define the Black Beauty
When the Les Paul Custom was introduced in 1954 it had 2 pickups (a P-90 in the bridge and an Alnico V at the neck...both single coil pickups) and only came in Black...it was way more dressed up than the original Gold Top Les Paul model and was became known as the Black Beauty...I think that most people came to know about the Black Beauty through Peter Frampton's infamous 3 pickup model though. For what it's worth one of my next demos will be an all original 1956 Black Beauty...subscribe & see!
I think though, by 1957 (if not just a little after this time) they came as either a two or three pickup model - but definitely the p-90 and Alnico V were replaced by the humbuckers, - It was obviously available in black. I'm not sure if there were any other colors available in late fifties for the Custom.
hey i need an honest opinion please,, me n my band are trying to bring back the 80''s style of rock and metal with out own twist on things ,, i was looking into getting an ibanez n change to the emg 81 and 85 pickups ,, but this guitar is pure beauty,, ,, do you think this guitar could suit the kind of music im going for??
I have a 2007 Classic custom, guitar of the week 46, It looks exactly like this one, but without the pickguard and the inlays are trapezoid instead of square.
But it has 3 pickups, gold covers and an ebony black body. The fact that the pickups are classic '57s makes it even a more genuine 50s -like black beauty than the current black beauties :D
You sir are an idiot. Many LP customs are 2 pickups. But even currently black versions can have 3 pickups which people consider the black beauty to have. Do some research...
Just a little something I tend to play when I first pick up a guitar...I've been messing around with that little pattern for years...check out some of my other videos and I bet you'll find it more than once!
Blessed to have had it for a while...I no longer own it...but it was really nice...the first 3 pickup Les Paul I've ever really liked...and I've played a number of them...this one had something special going on...especially the bridge and middle pickups combined sound...
funny, I 'need' that middle humbucker on a les paul, otherwise I loose all my marking points for pinch harmonics (whilst playing and not looking at my fret and picking hands!)
Yeah...kinda...for me it does...I don't like big middle pickups...it doesn't bother me on a Strat, but here it does kind of get in the way...but that didn't stop me (awe factor...) from enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
Nice axe. But white binding with chrome hardware looks best. imho.

This whole Fender vs Marshall thing kind of makes me chuckle. The early Marshalls were EXACT circuit copies of the Fender Bassman amp.
Guitarooster52 2 years ago
Yes...comments made with the eyes and not the ears! It's like taking on a definitive stance on apples being the best fruit (...and then there is the arguing over which type of apple...genre of Marshall...is best) when there are all sorts of other taste sensations among fruits that are amazing too.

Thanks! I have a hard time watching most of my older videos because the sound quality is pretty bad...the first 20 videos I did were with a cheap digital camera set on video mode and you get the clicking sound while the camera tries to focus...the newer ones sound much better. It was a really, really nice guitar among nice guitars.

Whatever...pretty absurd comment really...some sort of prefudice going on there and you are not listening...just looiking or something. I've got 80's all Tube Laneys's and Marshall's and I choose to play through this one because it sounds great! Who do you think makes the new EVH amps? Fender KNOWS amps...they make the best clean sounding amps period and they finally figured out how to do great distortion and all I know is that it sounds great to my ears...and really that is all that matters.

looks too mint to be an original 1959 wich is what that model looks like ?
miserysoldier 2 years ago
It's a 35th anniversary model (of the Les Paul Custom) which would make it a 1989 since the Custom was introduced in 1954. I've got a video here for a real 1956 LP Custom and I'll be posting another one for it soon as it will be going up on eBay on a consignment deal this week.

It got away well over a year ago for $2500. Most of my guitars sell within a few weeks or a month of me making these videos...I try to price my guitars very competitively and almost always sell them in a low start/no hidden reserve auction style listing on eBay...but I'm starting to sell more and more directly to my subscribers and people who see my videos here...Subscribe and keep an eye out for new videos I post...

Are you interested in an ultra clean '78 2 pickup version?
greengtrs 2 years ago
sure how much
JOEZEPPI1968 2 years ago
It will probably be about $3000.00...everything is original and all the latches still work on the case (a rarity)...this guy takes great care of his stuff and he has owned it since day one...we are still talking...I fell in love with it when I bought a few of his other guitars...this is his last electric...we are talking about some trades...he has been more acoustic oriented lately...so it is a good possibility in the very near future.
Thanks for getting back so quick,
Howard

Well actually you could order the '57 reissue with 3 pick ups or 2 pickups, Bigby or not, from Gibson Custom Shop when I got mine in 2005. As it turns out, if you do some reading, that original Black Beauty came with either 2 and 3 pickup. The original 2 pickup models are fairly rare, obviously quite valuable. Hence - no, three pickup models DO NOT define the Black Beauty
applejak2000 2 years ago
When the Les Paul Custom was introduced in 1954 it had 2 pickups (a P-90 in the bridge and an Alnico V at the neck...both single coil pickups) and only came in Black...it was way more dressed up than the original Gold Top Les Paul model and was became known as the Black Beauty...I think that most people came to know about the Black Beauty through Peter Frampton's infamous 3 pickup model though. For what it's worth one of my next demos will be an all original 1956 Black Beauty...subscribe & see!
greengtrs 2 years ago
I think though, by 1957 (if not just a little after this time) they came as either a two or three pickup model - but definitely the p-90 and Alnico V were replaced by the humbuckers, - It was obviously available in black. I'm not sure if there were any other colors available in late fifties for the Custom.

hey i need an honest opinion please,, me n my band are trying to bring back the 80''s style of rock and metal with out own twist on things ,, i was looking into getting an ibanez n change to the emg 81 and 85 pickups ,, but this guitar is pure beauty,, ,, do you think this guitar could suit the kind of music im going for??

JHdgsn903 2 years ago 2
I have a 2007 Classic custom, guitar of the week 46, It looks exactly like this one, but without the pickguard and the inlays are trapezoid instead of square.
But it has 3 pickups, gold covers and an ebony black body. The fact that the pickups are classic '57s makes it even a more genuine 50s -like black beauty than the current black beauties :D
samgar2 2 years ago
You sir are an idiot. Many LP customs are 2 pickups. But even currently black versions can have 3 pickups which people consider the black beauty to have. Do some research...
