@@rayfabris2512 not a real les paul, only custom shop reissues are made like the real ones, you got a studio model , all gibson usa since 1983 are studio models aka hollowed out garbage the 1970 all were plywood body
Idk what everyone's beef with Gibson is. They had some QC issues near the end of the 2010's but they were putting iut great stuff before that and they've been very, very strong with the new ownership. It's like everyone loses faith as soon as one hiccup happens
@@thedakotahurley Thank you he is just another Gibson hater because he can't afford one. It he would stop the Drugs he would be able to afford to buy one and clear his mind of all the toxic waste that is frying his brain cells.😂😂
I can't believe you guys don't have more subscribers - both gibson factory tours videos have been brilliant - no fancy editing, no unnecessary questions - I basically felt like I was there - from a filming perspective a real skill in itself - keep doing what you're doing and i'm sure 50k subscribers will be just around the around the corner!
Too cool! I was able to get in the Gibson Garage and look around but nothing like this! I ended up purchasing a LP 60's model with unburst finish; The Custom shop offers a higher level of craftsmanship, but was a little beyond my budget. My big takeaway here is that if you don't understand the pricing of these instruments, these processes (and there are many) when looking at the binding process, etc. and the AMERICAN LABOR involved, will help you with that. Gibson is making a fantastic instrument in the JC era we find ourselves in! Rock On!

A friend of mine who lives in the area got a bunch of mahogany fretboard scrap that he turned into flooring for his dining room when they closed the Gibson shop in Kalamazoo.
Thank you SO much for getting to do this and putting the video together. I missed the final Memphis factory tour by less than 5 minutes. I was crushed. We came from north of Tulsa on an spur of the moment day trip and stumled upon the factory by pure accident. The guy in the showroom felt so bad for us he have me an awesome ceramic Gibson ashtray, lol. Thanks again, and good luck reaching your 50k goal!
Great tour! Thanks for publishing! The GIbson custom shop is amazing. I am madly in love with my 2022 R9 Murphy Les Paul and there is a SIGNIFICANT difference over any other Gibson USA or Epiphone I've ever owned.
This looks awesome! I can’t wait to buy one someday. I’m planning on learning how to play the guitar for at least a few years, and in that time I’ll save up for my dream guitar which is the Gibson Les Paul Custom Custom Ebony Black 1950’s Re-Issue!
Very nice video of the Gibson Custom Shop Factory. Thankyou guys and Gibson for allowing us a peak into your world and see where all the magic is made. I can see where my next Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty will be made. Thankyou for sharing this factory tour. Way Cool!
Cesar seems like such a down to earth boss who you can tell appreciates his position at the company and the work that goes into the guitars and knows all the processes involved and importantly knows the workers by their name and appreciates their individual work.
I've owned and sold six Led Paul Models during the 70s. Had to sell them due to weight aggrevaiting my sponalthesis which did not discover until 1981 then had corrective surgery September 1988. Two years ago found a used 1991 Les Paul in a pawn shop and still play and have it. I've also owned 4 different SG's and a few Epiphones but in long run still love the Gibson Les Paul Models. They have their own that I'm able to connect better than any other name brand I've ever owned since 1964. My grandpa owned and played a old hollow body with one black pickup. I learnt my first tune, "Peter Gun," and now also own a Gibson and proud of the guitar. I think this model maybe a custom shop model but have yet to verify. Still this 1991 Les Paul Model Wine Red with Gold Hardware is a bad a*s axe.
Thank you for putting this tour together - it probably took a long time to edit it. Great job! This is why Gibson guitars cost so much money - they're using some really old school techniques for some of the process. Hands on labor costs money, especially skilled labor.
@@elnyoutube123 Force is the wrong word. There ARE countries who force people to work at specific jobs. In the USA you can work wherever you can find a job, and there are lots of jobs. Low pay is an issue in most jobs, though - I'd agree with that. The rich get richer and the middle class don't.
Thanks for the tour of the factories. It seemed like a lot was 'glossed over' in the custom shop video, though (no fault on your part). Also, I couldn't help but cringe a little at the end with the bracelets resting on top of that brand new SG.
@24:22 my 2020 Gibson Les Paul studio tribute Cherry burst didn't get plekked either because of time restraints or needing to fulfill orders because of covid money checks but it didn't get plekked and if it did that machine took all the frets down to nothing but my 2019 Gibson Les Paul special double cut cherry for sure got plekked and has nice tall, perfectly strait frets and it's amazing !🤷🏻♀️
I don't understand. They make it look so good. That they really care about their overall work and quality control, but in reality it's the total opposite. I bought a $2200 SG from them 2 months ago online and when it showed up the fret edges nearly ripped my fingers open, the action was insanely high and the cable jack would not except or release a cable unless it was not forced. $200 of repairs on a brand new, straight from the Gibson Garage, SG Modern. And throughout it all I found out that their problems with QC is quite common nowadays. It's sad, but I had to be honest. However, now it is a great guitar. I'm only making this comment to try to get their attention that there's a lot of Gibson fans and we deserve their best effort.
Sweetwater goes through all the gear before shipping...might wanna look into that for your next purchase. One would think factory direct is the way to go, but apparently not.
@@neilsnow7973things change so much through shipping and climate and being stored at retail stores, etc etc etc. it’s not going to stay the same as it is when it comes off gibsons production line, it could be set up perfectly, but by the time alllllll the handling and shipping and storing is done, it’s going to need some adjustments….anytime I buy a high end guitar I just go ahead and have it gone through right away and idc what the brand is. I buy in person, and have it set up in person.
At 10:15 mark, gentleman picks up a rosewood fret board, prior to it being glued in. If you’re a guitar player, it looks like the most delicious chocolate bar ever, mmmmmm
Thaddeus McHugh invented the Truss rod, ok he worked for Gibson but it was this individual that applied for the patent. I'm not sure if Ceasar is accurate, he says 1921 but i know of earlier Guitars that were fitted out with rudamentary Truss rods. I guess the first with the official patent get to call themselves the inventors .

He dodged a few, well put questions by the interviewer, surrounding wood sourcing and ebony, but very good video! Thanks!
A friend of mine who lives in the area got a bunch of mahogany fretboard scrap that he turned into flooring for his dining room when they closed the Gibson shop in Kalamazoo.
No fu**ing way!!! That’s bad ass!!!
Thought the fretboard were rosewood and ebony?
What an awesome prize to win, and it’s a beautiful Gibson custom model, I’d love to gig with this beauty.
This whole trip was so unreal! There are so many things I am remembering after watching this!

Thanks for this Play and Trade Guitars, great to see this with Cesar and staff.
Im going to watch this over and over thank you!!!!
Great factory tour! Very instructive to watch your videos around factorys, keep up the good work!
So I guess that answered my question about the long neck tenons only coming from Custom Shop! Heck yeah! Love this video!
Great tour with Cesar. Your videos are always great. Keep up the good work.
Great video. Always wanted to go on one of these tours
So cool to see, great job .. my 58 Les Paul arrives next week!
I've really enjoyed your Gibson tours.
Thanks for releasing this uncut! :)
I would love to have my Custom Gibson with Purple Metallic Flake . Cool 🇺🇸🏆🏆🏆🏆✨✨✨✨
Glad that I ran across your channel! I loved seeing this tour! Thank you for posting! Subbed! ❤️💟💙
Very cool tour and video, thanks
Watching some of this again! So cool!
Great tour! Thanks for publishing!
The GIbson custom shop is amazing. I am madly in love with my 2022 R9 Murphy Les Paul and there is a SIGNIFICANT difference over any other Gibson USA or Epiphone I've ever owned.

I want a purple metal flake Les Paul!!! Great video!!! Love going “behind the scenes”!!
Absolutely the best job ever!
Love how Cesar pulls off Descending on the SG. That’s true Tool Love. #toolarmy
That's a beautiful I wish I had one like that y'all do a good job

Rick H. is a good dude I worked with him on the bodyline at the USA plant for years when he was a binder there.
Not a bass to be seen. Custom shop has forgotten about us Thunderbird players. Great video and thanks for the tour.
What a cool CEO im glad hes in charge im excited for Gibsons future
42:06 - cesar looks at a cream LP custom and says "a Randy" - wondering if they're going to do another run of tributes for RR.
I just ordered one, a murphy lab heavy aged 74
At 24:40 notice the Chuck Norris bobble above Caesars hand. Chuck is ridin' high inside the plek elevator!

Thanks for this awesome contest 😻
Very good. Interesting and educational. Thank You and Gibson
50K!!!! We are almost there!!! God bless ya’ll!
Great visit
Gibson saved their name Big Time! Now if the prices were affordable 🙏🇺🇸🤙
They're marketed not to be . That's why they offer Epiphone
Don't believe most of their work is shaped by hand ,it's mostly done by machines .
Yea, I wish Lamborghini and Ferrari prices were more affordable to…. Why can’t they just cost the same as a Chevy?
@@bobpike8050 They're actually pretty good investments. Which is the only reason to own one.
There's something cool about a maple fretboard on a Gibson..
What a Awesome tour ! So many cool things to see ! Was that Kenny getting a pic of the Plek Specs ? He could get a Full Adam Jones set up : )
That is a frickin huge custom shop 😲!
Recently ordered a m2m pink custom, glad to see where it came from
I have a 1991 left handed standard, black beauty, Les Paul owner since 1975
WOW that play is awesome Cesar is so cool thank for the tour
This tour sent me off on an Erylah Badu binge… that lady in finishing had some good jams in the background
Awesome thanks 😊
I love factory tours
awesome tour. thanks
Awesome thanks for the inside peek.
I'm lucky enough to own a 58 double cut Junior fascinating seeing how it was made

I have a Custom Shop Flying V. One of my favourite guitars
Loved this upload guys, Gibson rule , I shall cherish my gold top even more now , a sunburst next I wish.
What an awesome video!
Great video, thanks.
Cesar is gonna get hit with copyright he hit that Tool riff so good. Lol
Now I want a custom shop ha. Thanks for these tours.

Too bad they don't pay their employees accordingly and force them to work in one of the most dangerous cities in the world

I like how nothing about your comment was accurate. That takes skill.

Great video!!!
Man what a great video.thank you
Freaking awesome!
Great tour of the custom shop
Great video... I would love to win the guitar at the beginning of this video.. wink wink nudge nudge... Cheers
Who buys all these beautiful guitars?
Great tour!
This was awesome
Outstanding
The Truss Rod was actually invented July the 7th 1910 by George D. Laurian. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harp_guitar
I laughed when he said we invented it in 1920 before he was ever thought of
Fantastic
Very cool 😎
love the gibson look... but are they still fragile on the headstock?
Yes. Amazingly Gibson's 3+3 tuner necks are still not fluted at the headstock joint.
Love Gibsons so much, but I can't unterstand, that they don't install the volute no more...
Is a ferrari an off-road vehicle ? 😄
@@yetimatzenightcat8702 anything can be if you got the balls and the money to fix it.
It would be interesting to see how they build guitars in the regular shop. Those custom shop guitars are expensive.
Check our Gibson USA tour with Jim De Cola! Thanks for watching
love this video

I would love to work there. But I would hate to go home everyday lol
That middle design on the LP at 1:35 looks like something off of a Journey album cover !
This is awesome 👍 thank u guys..I only play Lespauls I love watching these come together

I have a 2017 SG that got Plek'd and the fretwork and the playability is amazing!
Thanks for chance to win a real Gibson. Never can afford a real Gibson only the Epiphone I have ever owned. Would be a dream come true if I got one .
Can I get a custom weak neck/headstock? Nothing says exclusive than an exceptionally breakable guitar.
You don't need it unless your a dentist or oral surgeon,
I would love to work there, I would pay Gibson for the opportunity.
Lol, what a clown you must be. They’d gladly let you….beats having to pay you $18-20 an hour 😂🤣😭
