That Baby Got Back 😎🎸🤘
Hey Trogly, you got a Epiphone Joe Bonamossa Black Beauty coming up? I think you'd appreciate it :)
uh oh the way that wood was cut and the plastic inlays was cut makes this guitar worth a lot!
would you cut a les paul supreme in half to see all the cavities?
Hi.
Would you say it's worth it to get an Orville les Paul?
They are always priced pretty high
God, that guitar has an absolute perfect flamed back. So majestic.
I would make it the front. I have never been a fan of the usual flamed tops, but that back is very pretty.
I am almost glad cause imagine if it was on the front and you had to put pickup cavities and bridge posts in there
They should've used that back for the top!
Agreed. Why on earth didn’t they??
I agree. It's weird but the really opulent Epiphone Jazz guitars from the pre Gibson days were the same . I even had a Japanese Epiphone EA-250 from '74 that was plain red all over except the back that was subtly flamed . Never seen anything as glorious as this one though , definitely back to front lol 😂
Agree
I had the same thought
Exactly!!
"8lb. 6oz. so it's very light." When this is said about a guitar, it's definitely a Les Paul. 😂
Man, Austin your work ethic and ability to produce interesting videos are second to none. I don’t even play guitar (just bass) but I never miss your show. I hope Gibson and Fender appreciate how you showcase their products, even the odd and unusual ones. Keep up the great work!
I agree, this kid is an absolute master at his craft.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@hortyist1 no he is not. Once you learn enough to realize how full of crap he is, you'll change your tune.
@@J.C... And yet you take the time to watch, read and respond to comments on his videos?
@@J.C...
What changed your tune?
@21:15. I was just about to leave the video as I figured I had heard all that I needed to, then you hit us with that great riff!
What a great looking Gibson, not surprising that most got ordered overseas. Really glad we got to see the breakdown. Probably wouldn't ever get to do that! Thanks Trogman.
Beautiful to see this guitar on your channel. I was just waiting for someone to review it. An absolute beauty!
I'm usually not too impressed with the way Gibson matches their two-piece bodies. This thing is almost flawless.
You literally have no idea until you put the stain on
@@keithadams812...
Actually, you can take a little bit of isopropyl alcohol or even water, and see what the grain is going to look like. Although, I will say you don't know how stunning a top may be until you get stain and other things that help bring it out. But you can tell basically what it's going to look like. My problem with Gibson is half the time they're offset. Book matching should look like a mirror image.
I went to your reverb link on this one. Man you really have a great presentation, between here, and there, I have to say hi 5 congrats on all that you do. It truly is amazing and a lot of work to do things as you do.
You 'respect' the fact that your dealing with pro guitars, and a certain caliber of clientele, I hope that your influence raises the standards of other sellers, I am sure you do.
I would certainly purchase through you before anyone else now, just because of the knowledge/experiance you have gained. But also because of trust factor, that you have built on here (yt).
Blessings and thanks for all that you do.
Man your videos make my day, I love learning about guitars and you know a whole lot about them.
I really enjoyed listening to the history part, very in-depth and interesting. Keep up the good work!
With gain this recorded better than I've ever heard anything record for you. Keep it!
Whoa. Very good lookin' and cool. Thanks for introducing me to this variation.
Been waiting for this episode for a long time.
Yesterday a Fake Purple Supreme was listed for sale localy. Luckily, the seller said it was
I like it when the say it is what it is. If I bought an advertised fake, I'd have it marked as such. I'd want it burned inside the pick-up or electronics cavity and somehow stamped in black light ink all in caps, " FAKE " . Just in case a unscrupulous seller tried to remove the inside marks.
Did it look good
id buy it for 100, I love supremes in purple.
That is one of the best sounding guitars you have reviewed. Overpriced?... Yes. Worth it?... Yes.
I actually heard some quasi-Gretsch tones on the bridge pickup with dirt, that's amazing for a 498t IMO!.
damn Trogs your pick squeals are getting good!
A month or so back I left a comment suggesting looking into getting one of those endoscope camera's and this guitar is a perfect example why! haha it would be so sick to see inside some of these things. Still a great video tho the figuring in these are beautiful
Both of these are beautiful...The flaming....the pinstriping...Really...Quite beautiful pieces.
BC Rich used abalone diamond shaped inlays in some of the 1970’s - 1980’s MIA
models (they used Brazilian rosewood fretboards as well). I love my 1983 Mockingbird Standard.
Gibson did a “one up” by using MOP for the outer edges of the abalone. Those are rad AF!
Good episode Austin, you snag all the cool Gibson USA rarities.
I'm a moderator at the Gibson Supreme Owners Club on F/B. We have two members that have these. #18 and #24. Your theory about production being halted prior to 125 units just became more plausible. Our research indicates that Australia got 1,2,22,23,24 and 25. #18 is in the USA.
Trogly should start a VIN WIKI for Gibsons
My brother has #22. Haven't got up to see him to have a play yet.
@@drone49 Grant?
@@TheJeffcurran yes. I've only this weekend realised in the owners group how connected all the owners are. That's great!
@@syn0ps Cool. I see you recently joined the group. Yeah, we're tight.
That #26 of 125 has some Awesome Quilted Maple! Love the fretboard inlays too. Beautiful.
These videos have become an essential part of my nightly routine
Both Guitars are Beautiful and extremely cool.
Great score Austin.
Love my 2007 LP Supreme in Desert Burst! Had my luthier install 50’s Emerson wiring kit with Lollar Low Wind Imperial Humbuckers. It’s been my #1 for over 10 years!
I have a supreme in desert burst… It’s fantastic and incredibly light. One of my favorites off all time, and I’ve got (and gone through) a lot of Les Paul’s!
I have to say that you are somewhat a nerd/geek, but I’m learning a lot about guitars thanks to you.
Thanks so much for your review sweet as ..well as you are a Supreme owner now you should join the Gibson supreme owners club too!!!!
Thank you so much for the review and all of your help obtaining this awesome guitar. You're the best!
What a great episode.Top notch.
You mention an endoscope.
I'm thinking for the last few month now, Trogly should finally get an endoscopic camera, it's about time! They are not that expensive any more!
Literally the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. Gorgeous.
The sound of the guitar in the introductory music is awesome!
Welcome back, chocolate ice!
Absolutely beautiful wood.
Amazing, yeah a showpiece.
The sustain surprised me, I kept saying wow.
The bridge pick up with distortion was awesome.
I really enjoy your show and was wondering if you've ever done an episode about Gibson venues in Nashville over the years. The receipt at 4:46 that says Gibson Showcase / Opry Mills is what reminded me.
My dates & facts may be slightly off...but here's what I remember:
Opry Mills was Gibson's combination guitar store and "factory in a mall". Seems like they assembled banjos and did finishing touches on mandolins (scraped bindings etc) down one side of the store under glass. I believe it closed as a result of the 2010 Nashville flood.
Gibson Cafe Milano: an upscale jazz venue on 3rd Ave (not far from Lower Broadway) in the late 1990's/early 2000's.
Gibson Guitar Cafe: their Lower Broadway singer/songwriter venue...roughly same period as Cafe Milano. It had guitar shaped tables and was located same side of street a block or 2 from Tootsies.
You've probably got some subscribers who worked at the above or can offer more details.
I have a 2006 trans black and I love it. Great neck and it is so loud unplugged.
Notice that the tailpiece is off center. You can see that the strings "dress left" from the bridge to the tailpiece. The reason.... it compensates for the fact that the neck is not aligned with the center seam in the maple cap. Many Les Pauls have had this problem over the years.
It’s crazy how they struggle to build an instrument they’ve been building for nearly 60 years with any degree of consistency.
Looks straight too me. Think the angled bridge is buggin you out. “Many of these have had this problem over the years”? Have any pics of yours that have this problem? None of mine do.
Beautiful guitars, sound nice also. Think I prefer super 400 inlays. Thanks for posting.
I absolutely love the 490R 498T pickups! In my humble opinion they’re better sounding pickups than that of the custom BurstBuckers they’ve been making for their 50’s & 60’s runs. I had traded the only guitar I had with them an Ebony Les Paul Custom from 2001 for a 2007 Custom Shop Custom in Vivid Cherry Sunburst w/black back & neck with BurstBucker Pros (I put a 57 Classic-plus in the bridge) and Sprague Black Beauty/Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors. But, I just picked up a 2021 Custom Shop Les Paul Custom in Alpine White & it has the 400R & 498T pickups in it & I LOVE IT!
It's been really cool watching you become a proper tasteful, bad-ass guitar player over the years.
Right? Pinch harmonics and all, Austin got me off guard on this demo.
Not only the playing, but the distorted tones have improved dramatically
Endoscopes are available from Home Depot and Lowes as mechanics tools, FYI.
There are indeed a lot of Chibson Crunchwrap Supremes on the internet.
Gorgeous guitar, even with the gold hardware.
At 10:02 i can see some kind of princess at the flame top... Really cool.
Trog, you need to get one of those tiny endoscope type cameras so you can go INSIDE the guitar cavities.
I always thought they were custom shops too! I guess the little fancy inlays on the headstock fooled me pretty good, I have seen them modified though, Matt Heafy from Trivium used a white one with EMG pickups on it, probably knocked a hole on the back for the battery thingie.
I highly doubt he had a hole cut in it. You can just put the battery in through the jack plate. Pretty sure his has a plain back.
Gorgeous tops and backs. They'd have to be keepers. Two aesthetically beautiful guitars.
Great video!!
Love long episodes w Gibson history
I would never modify that guitar!!! Beautiful.
Not a Gibson fan. That is an unreal Les Paul. Best looking and sounding Gibson I’ve seen on this channel.
Lets Start a conversation. I'll go first. I can't AFFORD IT!
Yes you can, sell some organs
Mr Trogly, i love your show but i would love to see some Gibson Firebird on your show, especially the 2015 limited edition Non-reverse model for the japanese market. I read somewhere that those, under the pickguard, have the possibility to be converted to a 3 p90s version
For me Les Pauls are like crack, I bought myself a norlin era Custom a couple years ago and now I have another one of some sort. Great video as usual.
That guitar is absolutely amazing and now I need one
There was a left handed version made, it was ordered by Southpaw Guitar, I believe there are still some pictures of it on their website.
That back is out of this world
Holy
IMAGINE THOSE INLAYS ON A FLYING V!!!!!! I NEED IT
Pictures of the chambering are available on the interweb witha simple search. The gold fretwire is (alledgedly) harder than normal fretwire. And yes, I have a 2011 with Ebony board, 400 inlays and chevron pinstripe top and back in Trans black...It's rather nice.
2014 Supreme. 3 pickups. Limited NAMM guitar. Mines beautiful!
I have a 2010 and I’d like you to add to your collectible list. Gibson Factory was raided (as I’m sure you know) for having sourced ebony wood without meeting the law/standards of import. After that, Gibson Les Paul supreme switched to the Richlite fretboard, making any made with the original (and technically illegal) ebony wood more sought after. :)
I have another tale to add. The fretboard inlays are called double diamonds. In 2014 Gibson was planning a run of limited edition 120th anniversary (hence double diamond, 60x2) models. In preparation they made a couple hundred ebony fretboards with the double diamond inlays, and a 120th Anniversary inlay at the 12th fret. In the 11th hour, good ole Henry J decided that he wanted the 120th Anniversary 12th fret inlay on almost all models. History bears this out. Now they had a couple hundred ebony boards with the diamond inlays that didn't get used in 2014. Five years later they decided to use these boards on the 125th. They removed the 120th inlay and replaced them with a 125th inlay. The run was cut short at 31 by two things. Bankruptcy, and the inability to source anymore of the amazing quilted maple found on these.
They still have quite a few unused ebony boards with double diamonds.
cool man i love watching your show!!!!!!!!
That guitar is so beautiful I wish I had the money to afford this but kids and life ahh
Life happens my friend
Thanks Austin.
Woah, sounds really good!
Wow! The bridge PU with gain sounded mean as hell!
These are kind of special to me.
Thanks
Normally I hate gold hardware, but this one?
Nice....
Nice tones. The back looks better than the top
I respect you trugly how do you know they was not made in the custom shop
Ive got a 2007 model love it. AAAA wood is beautiful.
498t is so classic!
Ooohhh MYSTERIOUS!!!
I don’t know, I buy guitars to play, not to collect. I own a couple that are collectible to some, but for me, they’re players. ✌️🤪🎸🎶🎵🎶🎶
More than likely these Gibsons were wired prior to the top going on the guitar. This way there is really no issue or delay in the assembly process. Trying to wire through the hole would be very time consuming. I'm sure the jack hole was made bigger to accommodate future possible repairs or upgrades. Thats just a guess though.
Of course now that I think of it, doing the wires prior to the top going on may make it easier, but then you would expect to see the paint spray in the area of the knob posts and switch, unless they cover them somehow. Which I suppose would be easy. If it was something they used all the time they could manufacture something to just go over the knob posts and switch post, prior to spraying, like some sort of premade, prefitted cap.
The 12th fret banner looks way better accompanied by the diamonds & cool that they put one on the first fret.
Trogs, you need some tats on those meat hooks, bro! Some nice quilt figuring, maybe a nice artists rendition of the Steve Howe guitar right on the forearm? Maybe? Perhaps?
The backs are stunning
It sounds unique an chambered sound ...got some good foo fighter chords ...
I died a little when he put the bridge back, the wrong way around. haha The Black and white is 1 purfling, so you have the outer binding, and all the black and whites inner circles, are combined in pairs of 2. So 7 ply binding, is actually 4. 1 outer, 3 black and whites.
Noticed it, too. However when playing it was other way around
How would one survive without playing a single pentatonic scale? One doth wonder.
Beautiful!!
I always expect a “Doug Score” at the end of these videos.
I oft confuse engine, guitar and CPU/GPU performance haha. Need a score!
Here are some of the 'quirks and features' of this guitar!
You should do a Ernie ball stingray GUITAR 🎸
@@averagecomrade5072 so do i
@Conor Winston I don’t know about that
Yeah, that sustain is probably why Matt Pike from Sleep uses Les Paul Supreme guitars. Pretty awesome tone!
I just picked up a brand new 2019 ES-335 Studio with a completion date of July 30, 2020. I have been trying to figure that out for a couple weeks now.
Thats my 2014 LP Supreme in my profile pic. Because they are really chambered it does have a slight semi-hollow body sound. But it still sounds much better and more solid then my Epiphone LP.
Very interesting. It's chambered enough to qualify as a semi-hollow, without F holes.
Sweet lp's fancy tops and backs
Damn that is the most beautiful guitar I’ve ever seen
I love this supreme guitar
A 125th anniversary born on the 126th year, would this make it more valuable?
Is that a smudge, a scratch or an etching error on the truss rod cover?
What a beautiful guitar!
Super beautiful guitars but that 125 anniversary model is something else again. This Les Paul is absolutely gorgeous. Yeah nice case however a black interior is a let down in my opinion, a nice red or brown etc would have been a better option. Anyway great information regarding this guitar extremely interesting. Thank you 🙏
Ususlly dnt like the Supremes, but this one is amazing.
What about Diana Ross ? 😊
I know someone selling the version with a plain fretboard limited to 400 and I’m so tempted. Working out if I can afford it 😂
The wood makes you stop and smile.
