Hey Austin I have bad news brother Jeff LaBar of Cinderella passed away today could you give him a shout out brother? I'd like to share a story about how versatile Jeff was I seen him play with Mötley Crüe once while Mick Mars was dealing with court and legal stuff after Mick shot his wife in the ass Jeff set in with Mötley from my best memory anyway. I just remember Jeff just killing it with Mötley Crüe and Cinderella really are a underrated band because of the glam thing but, I always have thought Cinderella had some of the best blues fused rock n' roll I've ever heard. I seen Cinderella with Poison in Indianapolis in like 2014 or something like that and he killed his playing was awesome please give thean some love and a shout out if you could bud I'd appreciate it. One of my late mother's favorite songs was "Don't know what you've got till it's gone" so his death hurts just that much more.......take care of yourself Austin please man take care of yourself thank you for doing what you do.
Dude, Stop talking smack on Neil. Guitar is iconic..will easily sell. Plus it sounds exactly like the record. As you mentioned you weren't even born yet. Tired of these milinniel pansies.
If an unopened 1996 Super Mario 64 game cartridge can sell for $1.5 MILLION just the other day, I'm sure Neal will get at least 200 grand for this iconic LP. Rich people be nutz.
That Les Paul Being the first to have a Floyd Rose isn't really disputed by anyone, Neal Schon was given serial #3. #1 and #2 to EVH and Steve Vai, not put onto Les Pauls. #4 Went to Brad Gillis of Nightranger who also put it on a Les Paul.
Pat Thrall had one of the very first Floyd Roses ever. A prototype that was so early in the design that it didn't even yet have different heights for the saddles. Cool as it was, he complained that the bridge didn't match the radius of the fingerboard so set-up had to find the compromise between playable action and buzz. Later units did have saddles that met fingerboard radius. But still in early testing phases, the unit was very basic just for proof of concept. But no, not on a Les Paul. Point is, these guys were getting early units before production and public sales. So they would surely be able to know for sure if theirs was the first to have or do this or that. Oh... and, "anyways" is not a real word in any language.
It is probably true that Neal Schon is the first guitarist who retrofit Floyd rose on Les Paul. Because he got serial no.3 of first production of Floyd rose.
Well, put your house and cars up for sale then maybe you can to buy just one of his guitars lol. Playing the guitar while sleeping in the woods. I am just joking with you but the truth is the majority of us would never have that kind of money laying around to buy one.
Your not the the only one i just bought a burny les Paul custom but he never sent it so i lost 700 dollars and that was all the money that i had for a new Guitar
An interesting fact I’d saw n a video about Neal Schon, whenever he purchase a new guitar he sends it off to his Luthier to have the frets leveled down to only 2/3rds their original height. Neal stated that he prefers the “worn-in” feel. He stated this while holding a brand new PRS Prototype guitar that he just received and was forwarding it to his Luther to have the frets lowered!
I was at the PRS factory while they were building the Doubleneck Dragons. It was amazing to see it in it's unfinished state, without the inlays (which were done by someone on the eastern shore of MD), then seeing the finished product. My eyes popped a bit when they told me what they were selling for and that they were sold out before even being produced. I have friends that have worked in the factory and been given the private tour, even hanging our with Paul in his office trying out a 12 string that I don't know if it ever saw the light of day. It was easily the best playing 12 string electric I've ever played and having him ask me my opinion about it was neato.
In my guitar owning career I've owned two Les Paul Pro Deluxe. One 76 which I bough new in 77 and a 78 which I bought from Midge Ure. They both sounded great, bluesy, both had great necks but Lordy they were heavy.
Midge Ure was in a great short lived punk band early on, I almost forgot, called PVC2, only did one single called "Put Me in the Picture/Deranged, Demented and Free"
One of the very first guitarists to actually use a tremolo in a Les Paul was Michael James Kennedy. Guitarist for the Nicky Hopkins group on Mercy records,Nicky Hopkins was the original Rolling Stones pianist/keyboard player. Kennedy had an original stock 1958 vintage Fender tremolo in a 1952 gold top Gibson Les Paul that was refinished to a beautiful sunburst.
I've got a 1977 Gibson Les Paul Pro Deluxe I got dirt cheap, routed for humbuckers. Best Les Paul I've had out of 30 or so. Weighs 11 lbs. but doesn't feel like it on a strap. The neck and frets with ebony board is what makes it. Best neck shape and feel ever with really big ass original frets. Probably why Neal bonded with his.
G.E. Smith will probably eclipse this sale when he decides to sell his vintage amp and guitar collection. He used to go around NYC pawnshops in the 1970s buying gear for dirt cheap.
About the 77 LP. Eddie VH got the first Floyd, Neal got the second. That was when Floyd was making them in his garage. Neal's playing the guitar in your own video in 1981. Pretty safe to say no one did it in a LP or just about any other guitar before him. Brad Gillis got the 3rd Floyd ever made & put it in his 62 strat but claims he got another & put it in his LP Custom & he is on video using that with Ozzy in late 82 so maybe Brad may have been 1st in a LP but we know Neal had it by 80 or 81 & Brad wasn't very well known at all in 81.
One thing I've noticed watching the Escape Tour videos where he plays that guitar - it isn't being sold with the original Floyd that was fitted back then. A first generation Floyd w/o fine tuners. If I were buying that guitar, I would want it in the configuration it was in during that tour.
Canadian guitarist Aldo Nova also had one of the very first Les Pauls with a Floyd Rose. You can see him using it in his videos in the early 80’s seen on MTV & also he was using it live in concert These are Aldo Nova’s own words in a comment: Again, Subject tour 1983. Now tell me, is there anything more beautiful than a Les Paul...? This one has a Floyd Rose bridge on it installed by Floyd Rose himself before a New Years Eve show in Seattle opening for Heart. Night Ranger was on that bill also, and the audience had a blast celebrating New Years Eve with some good music to ring in the New Year. I still have that guitar by the way, FYl... Aldo Nova. I don’t know who was first. Aldo Nova or Neil Schon. One of the very first guitarists to actually use a tremolo in a Les Paul was Michael James Kennedy. Guitarist for the Nicky Hopkins group on Mercy records,who was the original Rolling Stones pianist/keyboard player. Kennedy had an original stock 1958 vintage Fender tremolo in a 1952 gold top Gibson Les Paul that was refinished to a beautiful sunburst.
The similarities between Neal's LP Pro and David Gilmour's Black Strat are striking - both models from years not held in high regard, both experimented on to the point of unrecognizability, both iconic rock guitars - and they're both black! If I was Jim Irsay, I'd be on this one in a flash just so I could keep the two together!
Neal Schon tried to sell a bunch of his collection on Ebay eight or ten years ago with the same highly inflated prices. None sold. I expect that will be the case again.
The real crime isnt the 200,000 dollar Norlin LP that played Don't Stop Believing, its a current day 1500 dollar LP that with less QC than a Norlin era anything.
@@johnnyola2205 My $1,500 Les Paul is great as well. Of course, I actually bought mine in person at a guitar store so if it had been less then perfect I would have left it in the store.
What an incredible collection! But of course, he's Neal Schon. Think the real star of the show is not the "Don't stop believing" Pro but the Grainger burst. That one could reach 6 figures...
The last guitar in the video, the Ibanez doubleneck, is a copy of a guitar built in the early ‘70s by Rex Bogue for John McLaughlin in his Mahavishnu days.
Jimmy Irsay just bought the piano John Lennon used at one of his last shows ever at Madison square garden in Indiana that he had used with Ellton John who had used the piano on several tours. Jimmy boy plans to open a rock and roll museum here in Indiana.
You generally need to be filthy rich to even think of purchasing a guitar for that amount of Benjamin's 😁 I'm happy with the few Gibson's I own and collect and modify budget guitars 🎸
Man, I’ve been a fan of Neal’s music since he was playing with Santana. It seems strange to think of him selling off his collection, although with prices being what they are it does seem like a smart business decision. Besides, now he will have room for a bunch of new guitars!
Considering the person who owned it and may have owned it that double neck is insanely well priced. Considering the closest you can get to this EDA 1275 in current day (in terms of quality) is probably the Slash Double Neck which is like 14k.
I snuck a couple chords in on that double neck while no one was around lol when I worked at PRS in 96. PRS wanted to build another double neck and I guess he didn’t save the specs. Someone told me PRS bought it back from Neil. Maybe he just borrowed it back to get the specs.
You can see a Fender Strat 1968 olympic white guitars go from 6 to 18k USD on Reverb, yet Hendrix's sold for 2 mil! I would never put Schon in the same level, but don't stop believing is an timeless Anthem, I would bet this guitar will get double!
Sooooooo many cool LP's boogered with Floyd Rose installs!! (the legacy of EVH) A lot of that sacrilege committed on vintage axes in the early 80's. I think he's been smokin too many banana peels...but hey who knows.....you miss every shot you don't take!! Wish him luck..
@@Win7ermu7e Yes I know Schons history. I didn't mean he started the trend, rather it was EVH that lit that fire. Schon is a fine player and I'm sure he was just configuring his tools to fit the popular styles of that time. In the 80's you had to have a blazing widdly-widdly guitar solos along with lots of tapping, harmonic squeals and whammy dive-bombing to get the hot gigs and sell records. Not trying to dis Neal....just commenting on the trend...lived through it so it's just IMHO. Cheers!
$200,000? If he throws in the old cream color scratchplate!! 😅 The Black Beauty is very nice. As are the custom, that gold top, the 57 "solid" black, the burst, the switchmaster, all the reds, the white SGs, the Fender telecaster variants and of course all the cherry red Fenders!!
I've noticed a shady trend with Gibson, If your an Artist and you come up with a unique spec on your custom guitar. They'll use that same spec later in a special run. Example Aldo Nova headstock or in this case the floyd Rose
The original Floyd Roses didn't say "Original", just Floyd Rose so why the "Original" on Neals? The ones branded original also use a different tremolo bar with a threaded nut attached to the bar and not just a threaded bar like the originals. The entire trem has been replaced yet there's no mention of that is there?
@@dangolguitartech Oh I understand all that and why it would be replaced. My concern was if it's being touted as the very first Les Paul retrofitted with a Floyd Rose the original Floyd should be included or if not available the description should make note of a replacement tremolo. It just seems it was conveniently overlooked and not mentioned.
If I had the funds, I'd grab that Ibanez doubleneck at the asking price, and not becuase Neal played it, either. In the late '70s, Ibanez was making better guitars than any major American maker, and that doubleneck was their absolute top of the line.
Awful lot of guitars starting over 10k with nothing more than a signature and the fact they sat in a Neal Shon storage unit to distinguish them from production runs. Thanks for sorting through the chaff.
@@RoboSteave true. A long career as a very successful Rockstar pays off lol. Granted a lot of these guitars wouldn't have been as expensive back when he bought them

Man imagine having the kind of money to be able to bid on any of these
Imagine having the kind of money to be able to own all of these.
@@RoboSteave true. A long career as a very successful Rockstar pays off lol. Granted a lot of these guitars wouldn't have been as expensive back when he bought them
I would buy a Mike Campbell guitar, not a neal schonn
That's pretty weird considering that Neal is a waayyyyyy better guitarist.
@@Win7ermu7e restraint and knowing when to pause is valuable, also Campbell played his guitars live while Schons were in his closet.
@@jeffsquires6620 Yeah, Neal Schon never played live. smh
@@Win7ermu7e didn't know I was talking to a Democrat, gonna call me a racist now.
@@jeffsquires6620 You obviously don't watch Neil on Facebook he plays all his guitars...
Sick
I saw this a few days ago and thought I should bid on a 335...I saw opening bid and it was like 50,000 so no I’m ok
4:30 I wanted to sing "Don't Stop Believing" :)
I did start singing it😜
