I was two years old when this guitar was made. It looks to be in better shape than I am.
Ha!
Ok, boomer.
Like fine wine my friend.
jltrem me too
It’s 4 years older than me and definitely in better shape!
Hard to believe these guitars didn't sell like hot cakes when new, they just cover so much music so well.
People complain about how Gibson’s are so expensive, but the were always expensive.
Lemmo's left hand gets all the attention, but look at the right one go. Perfect up/down strumming while only hitting the notes he needs. Damn Immigrant Song always undoes me...
I love when these '50s Les Paul's come in, you're looking at a piece of history, someone loved that guitar. Also, this is the first episode I've ever heard the rover played. Nice!
Paraphrasing Cheech & Chong: “The world’s coming to an end, I don’t even care / As long as I can hear Mike Lemmo with my orange hair.”
I love watching this guy play
That Rover really rocked! 👍
Gold Top '54 + Lemmo = Rock ! Thanks Jen !
Man it would be so nice to own one of these old Goldtops. They sound great and of course Lemmo just makes it do it's thang...
Next time a goldtop is featured play some allman bros
Alan Wilson of Canned Heat owned this guitar, and it was probably the only one he ever owned in his short career.
Listening first thing monday morning - Lemmo be waking me up better than my coffee!
Man that sounded good! Awesome job Lemmo 👍👏
Whoa , that thing was over heating , sizzlin baby , hard to believe a 54 LP kicks harder than most anything from today , did they even do heavy metal back then? , but yet they had the guitar , luv the P90's , when they cook , they open doors and minds . The wood on the back and neck is spectacular , 65 years young , over the top , and Lemmo sure knows how to channel Jimmy Page , outstanding , thanks guys.
Today was my birthday and you played the guitar I want.!!!
Loved the Rover man! Loved that Gold Top as well. Well done Lemmo, now get some rest buddy.
Nice LP and great playing as usual ML.
That tone is sooo good.
Awesome guitar.
Awesome player.
Nuff said.
been waiting so long to hear a take on Led Zepp's The Rover. my favourite riff ever. Thank you so much Lemmo! What a guitar!
Beaut of a Goldtop today Lemmo! Loved this one! However! Gotta do a Maton!
That Les Paul is SICK!
Pretty sure Agnesi is lining the pockets of Norm with this massive run of Gibsons.

I can dig this;.
Rover, fave from PG, a gift in '75.
Cool wrap-a-round stop tp.
nice riffs ...amazing sound with that amp...
While i love the P 90 this is a great example of why the hum bucker was invented. You can really hear the 60 cycle hum.
Beautiful guitar
Imagine busting out that first jam back in '53! You would have been severely ostracised!
1954!!! Wow!!! Sweet dude! 🤘🤘
I'd like to know...is the stop tail piece supposed to be slanted like that??? It looks a bit closer to the bottom string than the top string. (It's not parallel to the pickups)
Yes it is meant to be, it won't intonate properly otherwise. With that bridge it won't be perfect anyway.
I need this so bad
awesome
Well I was born in that year ,I deserve to have it
That gold patina held up...usually u see greening...with age...this one with stop tail piece...pickups little microphonic but nasty when opened up..👍👍👍
P90s are BADASS! What a timeless machine!
WOW👍
That is a keeper
Did they not have Tune-O-Matic bridges back then?
Starting in '55.
Kumo. The tune o matic bridge didn’t come out until 1955
OMG I just wanted to buy this guitar but the Epiphone version tho hahaha nice video!
For me a goldtop with P90s make the perfect Les Paul!
What was the first song?
Jimmy please come out and play..🎸
Can ya play some Grand Funk Railroad? Maybe for a Wednesday guitar.
Les Pauls not my thing, but I like that one. Probably Lemmo’s playing saved the day here 🤔
What are the songs he is playin??
The Rover🤘
What was the first tune?!
Crackles aside that is one amazing goldtop.
Epic guitar. Even more Epic playing.
I felt my Scrot begin to Float!!! A Real Cavman Guitar for Sure!!! Goldie Got Big Balls... Outstanding Stuff Today Lemmo....
what’s the name of the first song he played?
You can never go wrong when you "turn that shit up"! 😀
🆒
I have a 54 but mine is a bit darker in color.
Hi everyone ! Yeahhhhhh "the Rover"
Have uploaded an update of the spreadsheet to my Google drive for those interested. Here's the new link:
drive.google.com/open?id=1BS-m_vTbNs3JQ6crgVXS9ePS984-F52Q
Contains links to all GOTD videos as well as comments and information on numbers of brands and models featured.
Thanks to Norm, Mark, Jen, Michael, Todd, and others for GOTD. I have learned a lot.
Magnifique quel son 👍👍😜
'54 gold top is KING
Goldtops have been my main guitars 99% of the time.
I just think they’re the BEST (and I’ve owned custom shop ‘59 flametops)!
Golds ARE the best!
@@wesleyalan9179 Just not as cool or valuable as a burst.
@@Powertuber1000 ..yeah,I still like'm the best though
THE ROVER!!!!!
What's that noise? Defective electronics?
Esa es la de mi sueño....
David Smith ¿solo un sueño tuyo o muchos de tus sueños? 😂
📀
Why it doesn't look Greenish? I bought a Les Paul in 1967 that looked a sick green.
It funny how he hold these guitars with no regards of how old and rare they are.
@jltrem I was two years old when this guitar was made. It looks to be in better shape than I am.
@Hobo BoxcarroI was 4 Years Old, sonny boy! I look Stunning in Drag, be 70 in a week. Music Kept me Young.
The 1968 gold top from a few weeks ago was better than this one.
Jimmy who? Michael Lemmo y'all. 🤘🎸
What we are going to do when Michael join the GFR or Billy F Gibbons,who's going ease our day to day pain hm?
This 54 has less bumps n scratches than me, why ? has it not being played 😜🖖🎸 I think I just need something to bring that 54 out of me 🙏
Play some blind owl blues for Alan Wilson
Really wanted to hear it clean. I bet it would sing.
Eddie van Page
Ahhhh ah ahhhhhh ah.........hammer of the .............
GODS!
😛
anyone know what that last song was? (6:20)
I guess you're not a Zepophile. It's The Rover.
@@chrisa7498 thanks! never took the time to listen to zeppelin and go through all their stuff, though I really should, love a lot of what i do hear
RAD!
Oh those tones...that thing sounds snotty in every position
that immigrant intro though! I can hear Robert Plant instantly lol
Me too. I was singing a long.
So racist
@@assneck2007 not even a little bit
@@benchaggaresmusic a joke
Lemmo is a Bad Ass....
wowser wowser wowser
What was the third song ? Must be Zeppelin couse at parts it sounds like Greta Van Fleet.
Um
Headphone warning! I want 2 p90's!
I don’t think the pro reverb was a good match with this guitar
Ummm what's the name of the first piece? Ummm, please?
Not complaining, but.....
There's some kind squeal in the audio in the back room. Heard it yesterday, as well. Like, idk, someone walking around in leather pants?
*of. Some kind OF squeal. Hehe.
1:15
I think it's the camera zoom
How many dollars is this worth. HFW!
Anyone know where I can get those style truss rod covers with the correct white border?
Markonefifteen @ That place your at Right NOW... The Net.
Post posterous yeah but a accurate one, the Gibson custom shop one is not accurate. This is!
Norm has them on sale for 1500 dollars a piece.....
In 1954 they had idea these guitars would be playing this type of music. It really is like the Back to the Future guitar scene.
Put me in the ring with those 28 thumbs down...........LOL
Lemmo I know you're not used to speaking publicly but something that an early teacher of mine told me it's whenever you think you're gonna say "um" think "comma" instead and it'll fix that right up! Also pleeeeeeaaaaasssssseeeeee make a Bandcamp!!
Not immediately evaluating every one of your performances as "cool" would go a long way too.
@@AdmiralQuality He said when he came back from vacation (PA visit) he was going to work on that "COOL" after every song. I've been busting on him when he gets those reiterating spells! LOL All together now like Buddhist Monks Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, Ummmmmmmmmmmm, Ummmmmmmmmmmmm
@@cruisepix I'm pretty sympathetic. Public speaking is hard. Did you catch the Tesla Pickup reveal the other night? Just because someone's a genius doesn't always mean they'll be a good communicator. ;)
@@AdmiralQuality agreed public speaking is the hardest thing I ever had to do, and I ain't no genius, I don't even play one on TV!
My step dad traded his for heroin in the 80s
Jason Lee 😥
Just another reason for me to be thankful that I am high on life.
Who didn't?
Dang, that’s truly sad.
Yeah seriously, @Hillcapper1!
My guitar teacher during the late 90s mentioned having owned a Rickenbacker 360/12 in his youth. Had to sell it to get bread money. Heartbreaking, but it’s far more relatable than throwing away a prize guitar for a drug addiction.
Rocked the f**k out of that juicy goldtop! 👌🙏
that demo gave me a sore head..
G string tuner is completely bent 😳
Phew! back to normal.
Hey as my favorite guitar player, is there a perceived difference to you as a player between dog eared P 90’s and P 90’s like these? Is there a physical difference other than how they mount? I’ve never heard you play anything with dog ear P 90’s????
Are you ever going to tour now that you have a billion people like me that would show up? Joe could open for you! (kidding)
You could ACTUALLY take the Rare Guitar Show on the road like the “Antique Road Show” followed by a concert with locals in each town. Maybe even an auction???
Geez, can you imagine the endorsements?
Just remember me if ya do, and answer my P 90 question please, much appreciated.
You’re the best player since Jimmy Page!
The ears are just the plastic covers, the physical pickups are the same, but there may be differences between P90s from year to year do to a change in pickup part suppliers, or better magnets over time (this applies to all pickups... gearheads have had arguments over whether one coating material on the pickup winding wire is better than another, which is kind of insane.)
There are Gibson pickups that look a lot like P90s, but have rectangular pole pieces called “Alnico V”, only made for the neck position, designed by Seth Lover, it’s a brighter pickup to complement the bridge P90. You would only find it on the Les Paul Custom from this same time period.
Joe R M thanks. I wanted the P 90 sound so I bought a newer Casino, it’s not got it. They’re hot and dirty but they squeal if I get close to my amp at all. The guitar plays very nicely though
@@rickbrown3426 the casino is hollow and the less Paul is solid, the feedback is the amp sound getting inside the body. They might still make foam inserts for the F-holes to stop the feedback. Plus a lot of modern p90s are "hot" designs or are *vintage" to the 60s because of the Beatles using at least 2 casinos right around 1965 through the end of the band. (the guitar sound on "Revolution" is John running his straight into a cranked up mixing board channel).
I just listened to a friend play three different sets of Dogears through a Vibrolux last night at a robust stage volume. I think I just got unluck. The guitar is beautiful and plays like butter though
Nice. Speaking of old things where has Carlos "grouchitosis" Guitarlos been!
