The Slim Harpos really are showing that Gibson is Rushing products out again to make money quick so they don't feel bad when the financial quarter rolls in. The pandemic doing it's economic damage
If I was able to I would buy that wine paul. One of my favorite colors on the 70s ones.
I think stew mac has all the screws and bridges and tail pieces you would want.
Trogly, great job! I enjoyed this video the best! Please bring back the blacklight and the way you did your playing demo, imo was better than normal! Awesome doc, beaut cherry custom, thank you!
You may want to see if those aren't Tim Shaw Pickups in that '82 Custom.
Mine had them in there.
I always applaud Trogly's calm reaction to dissapointment. He doesn't get irate, just tries to figure out a solution. Good on him
But maybe he edited out the ranting And irate phone calls to the seller lol....nah you are right tho
He wears a t-shirt that says "Outwardly I'm smiling, inwardly I'm killing you."
Exactly! 👍
The world would be a better place if we all took that approach
he’s such a good guy, next guitar i buy is gonna be through his guitar day program, i’d love to see guitar i buy be on his channel, would increase its value to me personally
You can easily check the polarity of single coils with a compass.
If you lay the guitar flat and hold the compass flat near the top (12:00)
of the pickup, the needle should point SOUTH for both. With a Strat, the middle
pickup will swing NORTH as it is supposed to be out of phase. Fun fact for today.
Unless you have the compass or guitar upside-down. Not disagreeing, just thinking that a *wee* more detail in terms of orientation might help. 🙂 Which I could have provided instead of all the preceding. But, I think that's against the rules of TH-cam? 🤔 Gosh, this is tough!
The compass does not help if you have not only the polarity of the magnet reversed but the windings as well like on a lot of Strat Pickups which are both reversed polarity of the magnets and of the windings. What can be done is to connect a Voltmeter in DC-range to the guitar and take the largest suitable screwdriver, place it on the pickup and move it quickly away from the strings. Then you will get a reading with a polarity on your voltmeter. If one PU shows a different polarity then they are out of phase.
38 seconds my record man, Trogly came just in time to save me from my boring evening
Guitar engineers - "We destroyed the guitars finish by attaching this pickguard that will protect the guitars finish"
They did try that no screw pickguard that snapped into the sides of the pickup rings, but no one liked it. 🤷♂️
My pick has never hit that part of the guitar.
@@joermnyc oh, I adore it, I just can't find em secondhand
I really don't like pickguards on Les Paul's.
@@Forest_Fifer I think they have their place. Maybe not on burst or transparent finishes, but they look smart on a gold top or tuxedo. Especially with 3 pickups
I did not know how much I missed the black light tests until today!
Humm Wine Red Les Paul demo coming up.. Jerry Cantrell "Wino" sig review incoming?
Was thinking the same...damn I want that guitar!
Exactly the thing I was thinking
He replied to a comment from the video yesterday saying there was a review and demo of the "wino" coming, so yes definitely.
@@andrewkelley3434 I'd love to have one myself. It was a limited run though and they will probably all sell like hotcakes at a hefty premium.
I’m taking it he got a Jerry Cantrell wino .
Yup
I received my first guitar from Reverb ever today. I filmed it in case there was any damage. It pointed out to me what a stellar and pro job you do with your show as you did this every video. My disappointment was the odor of smoke and beer from the case. But the guitar was exactly as described and packaged well. I learned what makes a good packing or not from your show and this guy did it all. Thanks for the show T. Soon I’ll prolly be getting one from your Reverb shop LOL.
Stew Mac sells the exact sized replacement screws for both Fender and Gibson instruments.
A couple years back a purchased over 100 various replacement screws for about $30, worth the time and trouble to choose many different sizes to have on hand.
23:43 vintage under blacklight melts my heart!
Might get some of that magnetic field display sheet stuff. Would be neat to see the field
Funny you mention that. It's like when I bought my little Martin last winter that guitar center in Brownsville claimed was new, (a limited run of a special x in Rosewood) came in a fender box, I knew something was up right away, and that showed very quickly as a used instrument. :-(
I've been packing around the original box for my 2021 60s style les paul standard in the back of my truck(I have a topper) for like 3 months now. I keep thinking in not going to need it but haven't been able to convince myself to get rid of it lol! Your video today has not helped me decide one way or another. On another note, I freaking love the guitar! I can't get over how nice it looks and plays!
Took a satin finished LP and applied some Virtuoso and it gave it a gloss that almost matched my other LP's gloss finish. Amazing stuff!!
Back in 2001 or 2, I had a black Epiphone Les Paul that I bought new at Guitar Center. It was new, but I did a really comprehensive setup, fret leveling/crowning/polishing, etc. Then I replaced all the cream colored plastic with Gibson new black poly. It ended up looking a lot like that first guitar you opened. It played as close to a Gibson LP Std as it could, too. Wish I still had it.
Everytime I see a red wine Les Paul I think of my friend Terry who knew Les. He asked Les to sign his guitar and Les took a flat head screwdriver and carved into the back of the guitar,"To Terry from Les Paul".
Nooo.
Like that's awesome and WTF at the same time
Les should have just pissed on it
Own too many Norlin Les Pauls and your house will collapse into a black hole due to the extreme weight.
Made my day 😁😁😁
That's no shit either.
I had 2 different Norlin Era Les Paul's when I was 14/15.
Those were My first REAL Gibson LPs because back then (late 1980s) they were undesirable and relatively cheap at an average price of about $500 to $600 for an average condition standard and about $150 or so more for a custom. I would compare them to the brand new Gibsons that they had at the store and the weight difference was huge.
One of the 2 that I saved up for and bought was a 3 pickup Les Paul Artisan. It sat at the store for months before I bought it (because nobody wanted them) and a couple years later it took me a long time to sell it (because nobody wanted them) It was all original, in better than average condition, played really nice and of course it was extremely heavy. Bought it for $600 back then and sold it in 91' or 92' for $500.
Nobody appreciated Norlin Era Gibsons back then and EVERYONE thought that the Artisan modle was particularly ugly. Look at the prices now.
It was a different time.
one of the best Les pauls I ever played was an early 80s custom in metallic gray(gun metal gray?) with chrome hardware, brand new in a music store and I was just a teenager but I could still how much better it was than anything else I'd played at that time in my experience, just a SUPER great guitar
I bought my 1979 Custom a few years ago because I like the thin necks. Definitely getting harder to find.
The nasal quack from out-of-phase pickups makes that position between the 2 of them sound like the electric sitar.
Nice to see an older guitar like this that has been enjoyed throughout its lifetime ao far but also well taken care of too. Nice guitar and it cleaned up well!
I love work bench segments in unboxing videos, it's a really nice surprise
That wine red custom is amazing. Love it.
I love Trogly's Cajun accent when he calls these New Orleans era guitars N'Orlins!
Such a dumb guitar joke but it still got a chuckle out of me. What can I say, I like dumb jokes.
@@paulyguitary7651 If it wasn't for dumb jokes, I'd have no jokes at all!
Out of phase pickups are also quieter. Phase cancellation kills part of the signal, hence the thin, nasal, funky sound (get down, get down).
Glad you’re getting back to business with the Norlin stuff! I’ve watched every single video on this channel, learned a ton and I thank you!
I could only find one set of those tuners on reverb. I just love them and don’t know why they ever stopped using them.
Hi, regarding the Slim Harpo, and "out of phase" magnets...P90 pickups have 2 magnets each...so to change phase of the magnets in a P90, Both magnets need to be "flipped" or "spin around backwards"...AND the magnets facing the pole screws need to be OPPOSING...so in others words north to face north, or south to face south.
This was a nice and really vintage (in every possible way) episode, loved it
I’ve wanted to buy a Norlin era custom for the longest time but I’m always scared of getting one with problems or issues that the seller didn’t disclose or I didn’t pick up on. This video was super helpful, and greatly appreciated. Really liked that break down of the Norlin LP and how you assessed it. Man I want that guitar so bad.
To fix the stripped screw holes just use pieces of a toothpick, old family secret!!!
Quick tip : When your pickups screws , pickguard screws or strap button screws , just break a tooth pick inside and screw back in... Rock solide again , you can even put a drop of glue in it.
I was strictly a fender guy for a long time. But I really have come to appreciate the 335 and LP. My favorite era for Gibson and fender is the late 60s early 70s. Even though everyone hates them. Actually, last night there's a band I've gone to see a few times and Always admired the guitar players Les Paul. Last night he let me play it. It's a 1970 Gibson Les Paul artist. It has the big gold LP on tht headstock. Everything original. It was freaking spectacular. His wife bought it for him new.
I have 2 1976 Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Customs I just love how they play , sound and look 2 of my favorite guitars. I like your reviews and info. I been temped to send 1 of the 1976 to Gibson to have the neck replaced or professionally repaired because of headstock cracked and I repaired it in 1990 when it happened. I just don't know if that would be worth it. I like that wine red LPC
You should try a decent set of screw extractors. Though I am not sure if they make them small enough for those tiny screws.
I have a set that does have a small size (barely), but I can’t recall where I bought them (stew mac may have something as well.)
A Luthier friend of mine a mentor really, he left me a tool he had made for fixing overtightened Truss rods. It's a fantastic tool, i've seen similar ones but they are for larger scale engineering and it isn't gauranteed to work every time. Depends on how much stick the Truss rod has been given but it's basically a slide Hammer. Over tightened Truss rods suck.
For striped screws, just use a rubber band that you put between the screwdriver and the screw, It gives the extra needed grip.
Love that yellowed binding!
Simple toothpicks cut to size fill the hole with a touch of hide- glue, let dry & screw down the pickups
Now that the flip-out Winder tuners are coming back on new guitars will this mean that you can buy them in the Gibson parts department? I'd love to have a set on one of my Les Paul's I don't care if they're not from the 70's or 80s reissue is good enough for me
You can buy anything you want from Gibson for the right price. They are a douchebag company.
They're coming back? On which model?
@@TheAlexFromGalax On the why the fk would you need that many turns to stop slipping model. What are you building a broken slinkey? Did flying a kite not teach you anything?
You can't reel a hundred feet of garbage on top of itself in no order, and expect it to come out roses.
Hahaha!!!
@@ipissed is that the Historic spec Why The Fuck Would You Need That Many Turns To Stop String Slip Model? 😜
Whenever I encounter a screw that just keeps turning, I just put a little super glue in the hole. Not a lot, you don’t want to fill the hole with glue. I use a thick gel super glue. Squeeze some out onto a piece of paper. Then take a toothpick and put a little glue on the tip. Put it in the hole then kind of wipe the glue off the pick like you would with a paintbrush, wiping off excess paint on the rim of the paint can. Do that a couple times, just putting glue on the sides of the hole. Let it dry. That’s important, don’t put the screw in the hole before it dries. Once it drys you put the screw back in. You’re just trying to add a little something to narrow the hole and give the screw something to grip. Be careful to not get glue on the guitars finish. Maybe even mask it off with tape.
This wine red Les Paul looks amazing I love it ! The agin color on the binding and headstock is perfect
Not a big fan of red guitars but there's just something about that custom that I'm really digging.
I always use lemon pledge to polish my guitars. It never fails to make them look amazing and they stay dust free for a long time. 40 plus years now...
The wino custom looks nice!
Trogly should tune that hollow body guitar.
Yikes. Yeah.
The binding really stands out on that red . . . And the headstock . . . What a gem.
Do you say you may use tools and attempt to redo the truss rod on the black studio? I would like seeing that if you have posted the go around.
I love that out of phase sound on the Slim Harpo
It could entice me to get one if I could spare the cash
I Hate to store Boxes, Yet one half of my House is a Gymnasium
But is it? This is is old house studio, we haven't seen many vids from the new studio yet, and I'm left wondering if the deal fell through.
@@jimmyjames2022 who knows
Great work with the clean up and neck condition on the wine red ..the tone is all there, gorgeous '
If you get a snap on ratcheting screwdriver it will help with the semi stripped screws. They have the most grip of any screwdriver I have tried
Bought a brand new custom in white in 1975. I was 18. That guitar would never tune and the neck felt like butter. I was told oh sometimes they’re just like that. I should have sent it back to Gibson being the original owner. Sold it about twenty years ago for same as I bought it for. Mixed feelings still today.
After getting 2 out of phase I thought it might have been on purpose. The Peter Green LP tributes are magnetically out of phase and its a cool sound on humbuckers since they’re pretty thick toned normally.
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
Greg in the HOUSE!!!
We love you Greg wallmart aword for being soo cool😁 🍪
That little roll you did sounded sweet..I do that but not as well as you..mayb I need a bass
for the life of me i can't see neck curves or visible changes from truss rod adjustments. To me it's like trying to catch the hour hand moving on a clock. I'd like to see a video where that is really explained - maybe on that first LP
If you really want to view that, you need a notched strait edge. They come with 25.5 scale on one side and 24.34 scale on the other. Its a great tool if your serious about your truss rod / guitar set up / adjustments. Worth the small investment. 👍
i really apreciate a vintage guitar Review from time to time !
I absolutely love that first custom... And then the truss rod gets shown lol
seeing how specific a truss rod is i couldnt suggest getting a thread rod from the hardware store.
however depending on what you mean "maxed out".
if you mean that the threads only go down an inch or 2 you could.
1. use washers so the nut wont bottom out at the end of the threaded section.
2. if you are up to cutting threads you could get a thread cutter and cut the threads down further.
the fruity smell could also be.
1. a manufacturer experimenting with new paint or varnish formula and it is degrading.
2. a ketone similar to diabetic ketone is used in the manufacturing or the paint or varnish is turning into ketones.
What do you use to clean and condition the fret board?
Trogly , here's a tip for all your screws and parts when repairing & changing strings i use a magnetic dish to hold any screws and small parts from disappearing . Do you ever weight the guitars the 70's Norlins were known to be very heavy ?
The ‘Dave’s World of Fun Stuff’ luthier channel always checks the truss rod first, too!
Try 3M ultra fine glaze for the final to remove swirl works best for final on painted surfaces..removes the haze..use it on the plastic covers as well!! You will love it...here in Miami it's about $45 for a big liter size bottle. Last forever!! You will def use more than l for sure but there's nothing better for that final mirror finish!
if you have the tools and if its an easy fix the truss rod thing might not be an issue anymore?
Get the screw dimension and thread size, should be able to get them from a hardware store. The worst you might have to do is cut down the length.
I loved that middle position on the last guitar, had a Doobie Brothers vibe to it!
I thought a maxed out truss rod and stretched bolt means it [possibly] broke through the wood from the other end, and needs to be broke down [de laminate] the fretboard all the way and that repair made, and re assembled. There is a guitar repair video out here on YT about that issue. Sorry on that one. I am very weary on buying used guitars since the 80's cause people have rubber stamps and all kind of re-pro tools out there.
Man your demo playing has greatly improved.. haven’t obsessively watched in about 8 months since i got my lp.
how do you remove the bad truss rod?
Chrome looks great at first but over time it mismatches the rest of the guitar. Way better to go nickel
I think there all awesome !!! What's wt6 with out of faze ???? Especially for blues??
Try turning one volume on the Harpo down to 8 and one on 10. It clears up that quack.
That was a cool that not only the did the first Les Paul get a seriously good packing but the the case was in a shipping bag. I wish I could remember the name of a product made specifically for cleaning controls and or pots. It's made in Thibodaux Louisiana and used by corporations such as communications companies and originally for NASA. If I come across the name I'll relay it to you on one of your videos.
That color with the wine red guitar under the black light would make an awesome color option.
Gibson called it 'Nickel' hardware, not chrome. I have a 1981 and it doesn't have those nifty tuners, nor the oversize strap buttons. No volute, either. John Sykes infamous Les Paul is from this same era. He claims that it's a 1978, which have nearly identical specs.
speaking of guitar polish, I have a 70's les paul special that ive love to get shiny again but whatever polish i put on a small area, it instantly takes off the sheen and makes it go cloudy. I have tried gibson polish, fender polish and even tcut! but no avail. what can a man do?
Hey Trogly, donner make a in line equalizer for petalboards can you review it please. Thanks! 😃Cheers from Newfoundland
I verry much second this!
Greetings and well wishes from Utah man
How did happen to the bridge and tailpiece?
Another great show on vintage guitars, thanks Trogly!
Just coming out of the woodshop to say - good lord the virtuoso cleaner/polish is godly. 10/10. Pain in the rear to get in Australia, but will never go back to anything else.
Thanks for the virtuoso reference. Enjoyed your selected reviews and analysis.
Ooooh... That sounds like there's a Jerry Cantrell "Wino" review incoming soon!
Oh the 77 wine red would go perfect next to my 77 black custom!!!
That's a nice piece. Nice color, nice sound & the known nice color in the sound
I think a Wine Red LP looks awesome. The guitar would be too heavy for my beat up neck and shoulder but I thought it sounded great too. Congratulations to whoever buys that. I hope you either send that first one back or get a big discount from the seller. Another great video Trogly!
I'm not familiar with this channel, but kudos to you for having vintage LP Customs just sittin around in boxes...wow
The posi lock strap buttons work well from my experiences, but I can't say I'd trust them on my Les Paul.
"a little bit of distortion" GOES ROCK GOD MODE!
How do you fix a trust rod that’s been maxed out?
3:30 The custom LP in chrome are beatifull :)
I've always been bored by Les Pauls, but I've watched the channel so much now that I want to go to my local Long & McQuade and try one. Have a great day Trogs!
Those Slim Harpo ES's look amazing. Your demo didn't really come through my speakers as a "bad" thing. Dual p-90 guitars are like Telecasters in a way. Getting the sound you are chasing is really subjective.
I partied / played with the guy who owned that Les Paul back in 1986. Or it’s an identical guitar but I doubt it. It was the first time I had ever seen the chrome version, AND it was the first time I saw the chainsaw case, and flip out winding tuners. I was just in awe. It weighed a ton. I’m guessing upwards of ten pounds.
Thank you for showing pictures of the good and bad truss nuts
Trogly’s Guitar Show. Best on the old inerweb you make my day. Never laugh so hard at your unboxing. Good therapy for sure. I made my mind up today. I’m going to buy a Gibson SG THREE PICK UP GUITAR FROM YOU. I’ll get in touch with you to give you the spec’s. Thanks Troglodyte for all your great videos. Peace out. ✌🏻
If a screw is stripped out try putting like a couple pieces of duct tape over the top of the screw to see if you can get it to bite or try using like soft rubber.
And once again, somehow missed the notification 😕 really gotta get that sorted. Glad to see some Norlin's though!
Greetings and well wishes from Utah man!
The black Custom is beautiful!!
