Ditto, I couldn't agree with you more. To date I've only one guitar that has a solid finish, the rest of them I purchased in part because of their wood grain.
@@hkguitar1984 same, I bought one of those lp special tributes only because it had a super flamey neck and a unique 1 piece body. vanity matters to me lol
@@matthewtucker1699 Yeah, I've always said guitars are as individual as people, the wood grain makes that even more so. Sounds like a nice LP Special. On recommendation of a friend I purchased a Squier Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster, I picked it up used on Reverb. To my shock the entire 1-piece maple neck was an honest 3A flamed figuring, straight from the factory! Before it arrived I'd considered switching it to a Fender MIM Neck, but after seeing all that flame there is no way I change that Squier headstock logo. Even though its just a Squier it's one of my most favorite guitars.
If you ever want to pin down a wood type, you can take a very small sliver from say the pickup cavity. Send it to your state agricultural extension service and they will be able to tell you the exact genus of the wood. I did it once and was not charged any fee at all. However, it took a while. I also live in a predominately rural state, though. But, it removes all doubt of any kind.
Congratulations on that one, Austin! I’ve always loved the George Harrison rosewood tele, but this guitar is on an entirely different level. Beautiful!!!
Interesting that you noticed the dominant mid-range color of the tone. The all rosewood Esquire I have has a very dark tone, even with a stock Tele bridge pickup is sounds like a boosted P90 without any sparkle! Very cool, a real keeper for sure. Congrats Austin.
Honestly I would have to play this guitar! No way in heck could I put this in museum or put it away this guitar needs to be rocked and rolled on stage!
Stunning find, just gorgeous, seeing it reminded me of when I first saw my Travis Bean TB1000 Koa that I bought new in '74, like jewelry. I have to say it sounds like you're putting in the time on the instrument, you have improved recently like you've climbed up another notch in your playing.
The swirls on the top reminds me of the famous painting by Edvard Munch called "The Scream." Makes it a fitting companion to "The Mummy" guitar. Single coil pickup guitars Rock. 🤘
ok. that is a keeper edit: Austin, that IS a Brazilan top, board and peghead. for the top and headstock i believe thatvis a Jacarandá mimoso variety and that board seems to be another Jacarandá maybe Rosa but a lesser cut. whatever. it is legit and a very very cool find. congrats
You can't tell by looking at it. I've seen jet black indian, purple streaks in Brazilian....it's not possible to tell by looking at it trust me. Smell is another thing that can be used but it's certainly not definitive.
@@webbaugh3057 Here is the Thing: Brazilian Rosewood up to the 90's was reffered to only one species: Dalbergia Nigra: or as we call here in Brazil, "Jacarandá da Bahia", but since it was classified as a endangered species the cut of the tree was streight up banned. It is so serious that if you own a property that some of those trees are growing you can't do whatever you want to the place it bacomes a conservation zone and it is a pain in the butt to build stuff, etc. But luckily there are around 48 or 49 species of Jacarandá (rosewood) down here that can be cut and exported and sold. So, " "Brazilian rosewood" became more like a commercial name for those trees they all look similar sound similar and feel similar enough to be classified such as. I will dig some articles that i read back in the day tho and post here for you to read tho. But some are in Portuguese, well google translate can do the trick ahaha
@@graftongodofmemes well you are not completely wrong, but i did grew up with my grandfather that was an AMAZING wood worker and i did worked with the stuff long enough to know. But you are dead right without the seeing the guitar in my own hands and testing it, it would be impossible to know. However i can tell you this: Gibson messes with a lot of stuff. But they never messes up with wood and also i know the guy that Runs Ronay tonewoods the company that provides Gibson with South american woods. So, adding my lifelong experience with those woods and knowing where most of gibson stash comes from i can safely assume that it is a true Brazilian top. I can tell with a 100% certainty? No. But enough to bet a pinky on my statement. Ahahaha
@@hkguitar1984 yeah, that’s why those Teles and Esquires are usually chambered out with a maple “gasket” around the sides (it’s like the Gibson pancake body). I think the prototype they gave to George Harrison was solid Rosewood though… boat anchor.
@@joermnyc Yes indeed. The reason for the maple veneer in the middle was there for two reasons (initially). Finding a piece of rosewood large enough for a body blank would be incredibly difficult for a production run. Also, rosewood is a very oily wood and does not like to be glued to another piece of rosewood. Fender was able to source thinner rosewood boards and pancake them to achieve the final body thickness, the maple veneer is there so the top and back rosewood blanks are not glued to each other, they are both glued to a piece of maple which seemingly holds up very well.Some of the early examples do show minor separation at the pancake joint. I had my Tele custom built, so it isn't chambered at all. All together with the solid rosewood neck it weighs a little over 12 pounds. I converted it to an Esquire because no matter what I did I couldn't get the neck pickup to sound acceptable, it was very dark. The stock bridge pickup however just roared with a low mid-range push. The bridge pickup sounds like an angry P90 and I love it. I also used the Eldred Esquire control wiring mod. I think it turned out great and its one of my favorites. That said, I am currently building a roasted Ash Telecaster with an exceptionally light weigh 4.25 pound body, it will be as light and the rosewood is heavy!
I usually call natural Specials and Juniors 'cutting boards'. But this feels like it could qualify for that moniker, too, even though it has a carve top (no pun intended).
The differences in grain between the headstock and body VS the fretboard has to do with the way the wood was cut. The body and headstock were cut from wood to show off that side grain pattern well, whereas the fretboard is cut in a way to show off the tightness of the grain in another direction so the fretboard is more...standard fretboard looking. The whole flat sawn, quarter sawn etc debate.
WOW!!! Simply gorgeous. That top reminds me of looking at Jupiter, with it's Eye of the Storm close to the usual toggle switch placement. You scored on that one!
That's one you'll really want to keep out of the sun! My brothers Brazilian rosewood floors in his house have faded DRASTICALLY in the sunlight. Sweet guitar!
What a beautiful grain and color. The symmetry of the grain layout (especially on the headstock) was perfectly placed. The distortion/gain of the classic 57 PAF single pickup is fantastic. I envy your find. It's a treasure that will get oohs and awes from everyone.
@@sgt.grinch3299 Greetings Sarge. Yeah, pretty freaking cool. Single humbucker with wraptail is awesome, the rosewood top is an amazing helping of icing on the cake!
Greetings Austin! Beautiful wood finish! It sounds remarkably well considering that it doesn’t really have a bridge, just a stop bar, I do not understand how that is supposed to work as a bridge, but it sounds just great? Personally, I would prefer such an instrument with an ABR-1 or a Nashville bridge, but the fact that it seems to function properly just like it is I find amazing, I would have expected it to at least have a lightning bar, it really sounds great, however. The guitar looks and sounds awesome, Brazilian Rosewood is a beautiful wood to use on guitars, I have a Giannini Craviola Twelve String that is made of Brazilian Rosewood and has a Sitka Spruce top that is absolutely beautiful too. I am happy for you that it is all the guitar that you were looking for to add to your collection! Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨
"And now let's try some distortion". Wow. That guitar has killer tone in compliment to the amp you are using. Cut a record with that animal. Cant beat that. I love it.
As far as rosewood goes, a blacklight and alcohol extraction is the only way to tell without an electron microscope around. I've done it several times with great success. The hardest part is getting the sample with minimal damage.
Austin I think u should call it the scream. Top left wood ring looks like the killer from that movie and the bottom left reminds me of the famous scream painting
Wow! That is one BEAUTIFUL piece. It doesn't have his name on it, but I bet Les Paul would have loved this one. That is same fantastic wood done up right.... Definitely a museum piece... Doesn't need a label - it just is what it is.
During that time period there was a small group within the custom shop called the pro shop. I was a part of that group from '95 thru '02. If I remember correctly this piece was built by Kareem Haddad. He was a great guy and a great young luthier who departed the planet way too soon.
Crazy sweet Les Paul! Since its definitely a 10, and its super Brazilian... you should name it Pele!! I have a similar Les Paul with single humbucker and wraptail... Its the Zakk Wylde Les Paul Pee Wee! 🤣🤣🤣
Not having seen the whole video yet; The neck totally could be Brazilian rosewood, wood is super dull before it's lacquered. Look at some of the naked ebony boards just to see the difference. edit: the "Amoeba"
At 5:33 I kind of thought I saw a cartoonish dog with floppy ears in the wood figuring. The nose being that knot(?) In the wood. Kind of like chocolate lab or blood hound caricature. Weirfly I didn't see it the same way when I tilted my head to see it with the guitar in a more upright position.
I'd call it the Studio 1 Launch, bc its sort of a studio style body, 1 bc one pup, and launch because to me it looks reminiscent of one if those beautiful old wooden boats that scream understated class.

I really dig the mummy too. And unfortunately I Missed the boat on the recent release of the George Harrison rosewood Teles. Not as much of a tele guy, but definitely could’ve gone for one of those
There's a FINE LINE between natural wood grain guitars looking 'cool' and just looking like 'furniture' lol. This one luckily lands on the 'cool' side!

Where can I read about the different varieties of Brazilian rosewood you mentioned? I've never heard of those different varieties before
You can't tell by looking at it. I've seen jet black indian, purple streaks in Brazilian....it's not possible to tell by looking at it trust me. Smell is another thing that can be used but it's certainly not definitive.

Wow what a beautiful example congratulations on that find Austin just beautiful 👏👍
Wow 😯 I'm definitely hoping to see this in the future museum.
Definitely. I’ve got a whole list of things I’d sell before this this one if I needed to drum up capital
that's one of the coolest gibsons i've ever seen.
Beautiful. That's a keeper right there. Socks knocked off. The bridge is probably a Tone-Pros bridge. They work great.
For my tastes this is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen.
Gibson did that late 90s run of exotic wood LesPauls.
My favourite Gibson I’ve ever seen

Challenges anything PRS puts out. So very tropical, perfect summer guitar!

That Gibson is beautiful. Hi ow much does one normally run for? I've never seen one. But the Brazilian wood grain.
I love the no inlay look on this, I’d love to have a custom Les Paul with no inlays.
I love this, natural wood guitars are beautiful, you can keep your fancy colours, the natural look is best.
I inherited a large shop building with about 800 board feet of gorgeous black walnut. This video makes me want to build guitars like this.
That will go up in value!!
Van Gogh starry night, the swirling reminds me of that. Great find. Loving the tone with overdrive.
Need this in SG form! 🔥🔥

Some jupiter thing going on that top. Beautiful!
What an amazing episode, beautiful guitar!!
Usually I'm not necessarily with you but this time I'm all up in it. Completely unreal. You are the man.
The wood is quite strikingly interesting. It wouldn’t be something I would personally buy but the grain and finish are certainly quality.
One of the nicest that I've seen on the show! Congrats!
Wow, beautiful guitar

Beautiful and sounds great as well!
This example is absolutely stunning!
sick guitar. congrats
I had one of the ‘76 Brazilian top LP Customs. From what I remember they made 50 of them.
The Reed-Sternberg, based on that knot next to where the 3 way switch would be (a type of tumour cell that diagnoses a Hodgkins Lymphoma)
I’m excited you’re excited - I would definitely rock
Sweet guitar. Congrats on a great find.
Gorgeous woods used on that Baby! Yeah... it's a "keeper".
Thank you Austin, I look forward to your vids
I love how that knot is where the pickup selector would be
At 5:33 I kind of thought I saw a cartoonish dog with floppy ears in the wood figuring. The nose being that knot(?) In the wood. Kind of like chocolate lab or blood hound caricature. Weirfly I didn't see it the same way when I tilted my head to see it with the guitar in a more upright position.
👍
This is simply one gorgeous guitar from top to bottom. Beautiful.
I'd call it "snake eye" due to the knot in the grain near the volume knob.
I'd call it the Studio 1 Launch, bc its sort of a studio style body, 1 bc one pup, and launch because to me it looks reminiscent of one if those beautiful old wooden boats that scream understated class.
You should call it "The Gibson McCarty" because it doesn't have the Les Paul waterslide but it is the McCarty body style The Les Paul uses.
Jupiter sounds really cool for that top grain!
That there is a beauty! Nice work snagging that one.

An amber hue with black banding is a sure sign of braz RW. From here it does look like the real deal. Trussrod cover looks more purple in colour so likely indian RW rather than braz.
You gotta keep this for the collection.
Call it “missing toggle switch”
Troggly you certainly won on that beauty she is georgious will be a nice addition to your museum collection.
With a darker fretboard and some small inlay of some sort that would be gorgeous. Don't get me wrong its great! Just my thoughts.
I can see why it's a permanent part of your collection. Very special, extra beautiful. It's definatrly a keeper.
What a splendid axe!
This one and "The Mummy" are the 2 best looking guitars you have shown. I'd like to have this with full LP Standard appointments.
