Do you have a link for that strap? I like it. I hope I don't have to buy a 10k LP just to get a strap. I don't like it THAT much.
That price tag seems like madness to me. Even $4000 for the regular non-signature one is really high for what you're getting. $9000+ is completely nonsensical to me for a guitar like that. It's just a LP with a piezo added, smacked around a bit, and with a custom truss rod cover.
So if it has the standard weight relief that late 80s/90s Customs have, would that exclude it from the possibility of it being a early reissue of 60s as you had prosed as a possibility?
For one the pickups are 490R + 498T instead of best sounding Gibson Burstbucker Pro alnico V pickups and it needs Abr 1 no wire bridge with locking Grover Keystone tuners, other than that the guitar looks Cool !
Yeah, that’s a fly chief. Get a clue.
Honestly I think Jerry’s vocals were just as important as Layne’s. Layne had an incredible voice, but that band wouldn’t have had sounded like they did without the beautifully creepy harmonies that Jerry did. His voice is why they still sound like AIC with William Duvall.
True
Jerry is important and everyone is entitled to their own opinion but Layne carried a certsin energy and someone else singing his lines isnt the same. Or good. Not to mention WD sings like the albums and Layne had a whole nother level of volatility to his live singing.
I agree 1000%
they both sound great on their own. Their overall sound depends on both of them.
Layne was lightning in a bottle, a one in a million amazing unique singer. He passed away. It is unfair to Jerry and Sean and the AIC guys to not be able to keep going doing what they do. William isnt Layne. Nor should he be expected to be. Jerry is an established creative powerhouse of talent in his own right, can and will do whatever he wants, and people will want to hear it because he is top notch.
Comparing old to new AIC is a waste of time. Cant bring him back, can only be grateful for what he left behind. I look forward to what William and the remaining members will create.
AIC died with Layne. Bill is just a facsimile.
Jerry Cantrell is a great vocalist himself. I like his solo work as well. He also seems like a wonderful guy
I always like his voice best in AIC
Jerry is/was one of the best rock songwriters PERIOD. He is also one of the best singers/harmonizers, guitar players. He could easily be one of the best to ever play in his genre. He could have sang ALL AIC songs. But, Layne was a beast on vocals. This is one of my all-time favorite bands.
The guitar is cool, but without winning the lotto....I wouldn't buy the guitar. But, like I sad cool and Jerry rules.
Boggy Depot. Me and my friend bought our own copies, same day and store lol. I still have it. One of my heroes as he should be.
Being a personal friend of mine since we were 18-19 yrs old, he is one of the greatest Vocalist/ Gtr cats to have ever played the game!! I was privileged to play on Boggy Depot..Pirate Fckn Days!!
@@REXBROWNOFFICIAL You kill on bass. Thanks for your contributions to rock/metal. I dig your guitar work on Smoke on this... great album.
Cantrell’s original Wino is a 1997. I have a picture of the back of his headstock. 😉
Thanks for sharing!
The JJ is he and his dad's first initials. He and his dad bought a ranch together and named it the Double J and he carried that to the sig Friedman too.
They didn't buy the ranch they both built it together
JJ is the name of his and his fathers ranch, double Jerry
the double "J"
The Rooster..
Jerry’s vocals really added that droning dimension to their music that made them sound so “vibey”, if you ask me. He doesn’t hold a candle to Layne in terms of having an iconic voice, but his was just as necessary as Layne. Not to mention he wrote most of their music 🫢
I think G&L not Gibson when Jerrys gear is mentioned.
And I think G&L did do a Cantrell signature Rampage of some sort
You're not the only one!
Only very few really famous guitarists play G&L.
Maybe Trogly will one day review the JC signature G&L what was it again? A Doheny? A Skyhawk?
I have a 1986 G&L Rampage in natural finish. That shit sounds like AIC.
G&L made a Rampage reissue and a Superhawk. The Rampage is the one he's known for.
I'm hoping Gibson makes his Alpine White Custom with the blowtorch burns.
He played an alpine white lp custom his entire career alongside the g&l rampage
Just not a fan of perfectly fine brand new guitars purposely dinged up and scratched , knifed up by Gibson shop employees, or Fenders for that matter. Then they sell them for double the price, or more. It just never made sense to me. Anytime I have ever dinged one of my own guitars that were still like brand new, the cringe factor would set in, and I’d feel guilty about it for days, if not weeks.
im with you on this it looks so fake, if a guitar gets worn by playing/gigging thats ok it adds to its history but out of the box nah.
Seen a vintera roadworn tele in a local shop recently and could still tell it was brand new. So I don't get the appeal of relics.
Especially if they over do the finish checking, there’s a way to make it check naturally (sticking it in really cold environment) versus just slashing it up with a razor blade.
Totally brother✌🏿
when i buy a brand new guitar iwant a brand new looking guitar,
why would anyone want a fucked up guitar
un necessary
In what universe is Alice in chains "not about the guitar work"?
I was saying my favorite part of that band are the vocals. When I think AIC, I think of the vocals. The guitar is fantastic too
@@Trog ... I think Cantrell has a distinct guitar style...I think people can recognize him when they hear is tone and style!!
@@Trog My bad, I misunderstood and was bewildered.
He also writes all of the material!! Play the Gtr dude…Enough bagging on the Gtr!! Learn how to play in your spare time instead…
It's iconic, I can hear it, and I automatically know its Jerry.
Jerry was more than one of the voices in AIC. He was the architect of their unique vocal sound ( basically harmonizing in fourths instead of thirds ). Layne's amazing vocals and Jerry's arrangements made AIC's vocals so powerful.
Side note- - That white LP wasn't blowtorched. It was cigarette butt-ed.
Music for junkies
@@ZIGSVIDS we're all junkies in some way bru
I may get alot of hate for this, but I always thought Jerry was the superior singer of the two. This became very apparent to me on the Unplugged album on tracks like "Got Me Wrong" and "Over Now".
@Mucho Macho Nothing you said here contradicts OP. They said "Jerry's arrangements". That doesn't imply Jerry was harmonizing on every vocal line on every record.
@@procrastinator6902 I totally understand where you're coming from.
dude Dirt is one of the greatest albums ever made
all day i learned every song back in the 90's
Yep, I'm with you on that pal. I still play that album regularly. Love it!
Ahem...and facelift
@@BigTyronie 1 song. 😂
Dirt: 🤯🤯🤯
so fucking what? still doesn't make the guitar worth 10k.
Hi Austin, I found and started watching your channel a couple of months ago and I've got to say that I find it really interesting. What I find especially helpful is when you demo guitars and play the same or similar chord sequences and riffs because I can hear the differences in brands (Gibson, Fender etc.) models, and pickups. I've been playing guitar a long, long time and I find your reviews and demos of different guitars one of the best on youtube for those reasons I've stated. I know it can get boring to play the same stuff every time but I for one find it incredibly useful to hear the subtle differences using the same chord and riffs. That's not to take away from when you play pieces from particular guitarists. I just thought I'd let you know how I felt about it. Thanks for all that you do for the guitar community.
Jar of bees is a really good album...
HAHAHA I thinking the same exact thing!!
Thankyou I laughed so hard.
😂😂
Yeah wth c'mon Troogly?
1:04 ah yes, them bones from jar of flies album. A classic.
So the binding “issue” on that guitar with the exposed maple, also appears on my 50’s standard! Some brain surgeon at Guitar Center thought it WAS a blemish and I got $500 off the guitar!!!! Add my vet discount, I paid only about $1800 for a brand new Les Paul Standard 50’s!!!!
What a great deal, how do you like the neck profile ? Love my 60s neck but would love to try the 50s.
Seems pretty toxic to attack a random Guitar Center dude because he tried to help out a customer. Be better. Really disgusting comment.
@@josefeld7164 really nice and fat. like jimmy page style and resonant
Survival of the fittest
I paid $350 for a 1983 silver burst Gibson Les Paul custom - in 1983. They couldn't give them away at the time, as they weren't pointy and didn't have a Floyd.
90s is vintage today since back in 2010, 80s was considered vintage.
As a huge Cantrell fan was looking forward to this one, thank you.
The way layne and jerry harmonize is what made AIC special
Funny thing is I Bought a Wine Red Les Paul Custom 2008 a month before the announcement and it's cool again to have one.
Those were always cool guitars
Yeah mine's a 78 standard, and it's been cool for 43 years. Wine red all the way baby.
@@shelbyavant5081 I'm Jealous, that is an awesome guitar and worth some real solid money these days too! I'd keep her if I were you though.
@@seanc.5310 Thank you for the kind words! It's not stock anymore. A real workhorse, with the maple neck and volute, and a one piece top and back!
@@shelbyavant5081 Gonna try to hold on to my customs to play for decades
Dude Jerry is amazing and easily the best melodic guitarists of the last 20 years. AIC continues to turn out amazing hits to this day.
almost 35 years now.
Will it hold it's value? Probably. Will go up in value? Probably. Would I pay that much for it? Hell no. I'd get a Prs private stock instead!
Good for you.
@@MajorDook1 just had to be heard didnt ya... sad
I'd get a navigator but it's not quite enough to get an ESP custom shop built LP
@@TheAhirishman Why you so mad?
Or buy 2 or 3 relatively high end guitars of various other types. You could get a SUPER nice 10-top non-private-stock PRS and still have 4-5 grand or more left over to buy some other awesome stuff. The price on this guitar is laughable, imo.
I have a cherry sunburst 81 les Paul custom. I replaced all the black plastic with cream color and added dimarzio super distortion pickups in cream. Viola ace frehley. I love it
12:12 A piezo is a sensor that is sensitive to physical changes, so that a voltage (signal) is created across it accordingly. For a musical instrument what's relevant is the change in forces applied to its surface, or pressure changes (ie vibrations). Hence a piezo "feels" the vibrations of the strings and the instrument itself, so that when used it can add a more "acoustic"/ natural tone to the sound
Thank you for this vid! 😊
I recently looked at a site that had what I believe was a first run wino near $20K. I'm looking at 60 on the first of the year. I dont feel that old but things like this remind me. A friend who plays added a synth pedal to his hear a few years back that required a piezo installed but the way it was installed was on the body in front the bridge. Have a cool effect of two guitars played at once since he still had his axe plugged in separately through a different channel.
Interesting to see the differences in this one vs the one we reviewed about a month ago. For example it looks like they barely put any yellow tinted lacquer on the headstock vs ours which was quite yellow. Similar looking checking but the gouges above the bridge pickup are pretty different for example. Keep an eye on that bridge, ours broke a wound string twice at the bridge, which has never happened to me before. Also the piezo had a little bit of a fit but apparently it's working better now vs last time I used it.
Interpreted as come visit my channel
Is the truss rod cover done like that so you can reverse it to look more like his original … just flip it over ?? But engraved underside to authenticate it?
I’m impressed by the imagination and effort put into making a guitar more expensive. And hitting it with a hammer must be a cool job.
I have learned so much from this channel and even being a guitar player from the early 80's I purchased my first Gibson just two years ago with the help and knowledge from Trogly's guitar show 😎
Love it! Great surprise to see this review, thank you Trogly.
Sure wish they would have done his burned up white Custom first. If I had the money to build my dream replica...
*Had to add an edit, as I hadn't finished watching the entire video. Seeing Trogly play Chains riffs made my day!
My dad got to see his wino live up close in the 90s when it was new and apparently he had a 12 string version as well that he used for "I stay away" and gave it away at a bar later that night in Michigan
There is a awesome story JC tells bout him and EVH and EVH equipment
I saw AiC open for Van Halen, and for that set he mostly played a Music Man EVH guitar.
@@ArchieOnEarth I think in a video he talks about his original MM EVH and mentioned it got stolen but I think he later got it back
@@Malum09 yep.. Good tale
Are those dents and scratches above the bridge humbucker supposed to be there or did you get a beat up guitar?
On 5ge back of the guitar would u have to replace the battery when it don't work
Can I ask you something?
I notice the way the Tune O matics are set up for the intonation on these Les Paul's.
They all seem very different, Yet all my Les Paul's (over the years) end up with a STEPPED ; 1, 2, 3 then 1 , 2 ,3. are that many of them that different (or out of wack) or what?
BTW, the output jack is a stereo jack for the Fishman Powerbridge. Check it out sometime!
I like this - the mix of centre position with Piezo is tasty! Not in the market for a Gibson really, (I still have my 1968 LP Custom 'Black Beauty') but considering buying the Epiphone version and putting some Monty's PAFs + 50's Loom into it. Recently picked up the Epi 1959 'tribute' with Gibson Custom Shop electronics and I really think it's a great buy - Epi / Gibson hybrid - maybe a sign of things to come? Thanks for the review (also liked the Wine Red 95 Custom you linked to)!
I wonder in 50 years how differently factory aged guitars will look when they have also naturally actually aged?
Thanks for the review- i I have a Cantrell and I love it. It feels good (the lacquer the matted finish etc) and I love the tones too.
I have many customs with the 490/498 combo and they don’t sound like the Cantrell.
Thanks for the video
You really did a disservice to Jerry Cantrell with your description of Alice in Chains. Hey, I get it- you really don't know anything about them compared to their real fanbase. And while you may think of them and their vocals, a lot of guitar players have immense respect for Jerry because he truly is a master of making great riffs and producing groundbreaking tone. And if you're going to cover a Jerry Cantrell sig guitar- it would be really good to mention the great stuff the band has done since Layne's passing, as well as Jerry's incredible solo work.
Not trying to dig on ya- but there are a lot of people that know that Jerry is and has been the architect of all things Alice in Chains from day one- and we have placed him very high on the rock pedestal. Now I'd really like to see them release a signature V like the one he's been playing recently.
Thanks for saving me a rant! :)
Ditto
Right! Not really a guitar based band😂. I want some of what he's smoking...
@@johnnybird7593 Yeah, that one got me kinda flustered, I must admit. And really, was Alice in Chains really "grunge"? There are a whole lotta stoner/sludge bands that would probably beg to differ as Jerry was no doubt a huge influence on all of 'em. Grunge was really a terrible label as it really just refers to bands that came out of Seattle- there is no distinct sound you can discern from that- they were all quite different.
The V Jerry plays on Brighten is, as far as i know, a Hendrix recreation! I reckon when he was at Gibson, he told them to throw one of those in aswell while they're at it😁 🤘🎸🤘
I have a mint 98 Gibson Joe Perry signature Les Paul. What is it really worth?
Hey Austin, that pink showing through in the chips through the finish is the red grain filler they apply before spraying the red nitro. It gives the maple top a pinkish color that looks more red when you clear coat over it.
Congrats on 200K subs, Austin.
I would strongly recommend checking out his solo albums Degradation Trip. The riffs and tone are amazing and were are written on a Les Paul Custom (the black one I think from an interview he gave). Great video!
And he managed to finish it with a broken headstock.
Rob Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves, Metallica) on bass and Mike Bordin (Faith No More) on drums.
This was a great example of his writing double album style, his impeccable influence to AIC in his architecting of the vocal Melodie’s and his guitar work. Great album, depressing yes, but a fantastic album
I think the JJ insignia on the back of the headstock is the same as the one he uses for his ranch in Oklahoma.
I believe the JJ name comes from the name of his fathers ranch.
jerry janch
Ah, the sound of a 90's LPC. For me, it's like pulling on some old, cozy slippers lol. 90's-era Gibsons are my era. I still own 4 of 'em & my '90 white LPC is & always will be my baby. It was the first Gibson I ever owned & I've had it since it was pretty much new. I got it from a bandmate who'd bought it new & didn't gel with it for whatever reason but as soon as I played it, I fell in love with it. My missus jokes that I love that guitar more than her & you know what... she could be right lol.
Interesting fact about Jerry’s dad. His nickname was Rooster. I’m guessing the JJ stands for Jerry Junior. Also, Jerry rocked G&L rampage guitars hard and the polka dots on the one he played a lot originally were actually burn marks from a blowtorch. He also sang on most of the stuff and he would write all those melodies and harmony together. He knows over a thousand classic cowboy songs by heart and can sing better than most lead singers. What made and makes Alice such a unique sounding band is it’s really more of a dual lead singer band.
Love AIC and Jerry. I think you'd guitar is super cool and would definitely own one if I could afford it. Love the whole vibe of it.
Nice breakdown, Austin. I think it's worth it with the Piezo. Those pups aren't cheap. Awsum review!
Alice in chain was an amazing band , RIP lane . I love this guitar but probably would buy a new custom.
I guess to be fair, if they can reissue 50s guitars in the 80s, or 70s in the 00s, there's nothing wrong with a 90s guitar now.
Completely agree, I don’t really understand the mentality of newer = bad, if you don’t like the guitar then just don’t buy it? I highly doubt people in the 70’s and 80’s were complaining the same way, at the end of the day this guitar is made for collectors and people who enjoy Jerry’s music, it doesn’t really matter what decade the guitar is from imo :)
Hell I just wish fender and Gibson were more diverse with 70s reissues
There absolutely is if you can simply outright buy said original far less money
@@eyedunno8462 Surely you realise the reason this is more expensive because it’s a signature model right? Like yeah, of course you could buy the same model from the same year for a fraction of the cost, but the point is is that’s a replica of JERRY’S guitar, it has his name on the headstock, and all that adds to a premium, especially if it’s coming out of the custom shop- I genuinely don’t see the problem here 🤷♂️
@@jojosjacket There is no problem. People just like to complain about things.
Or they don't know how to deal with their GAS and FOMO intelligently and want things to be cheaper, so they can buy even more crap they don't need.
Nobody _needs_ a Jerry Cantrell Limited Edition Signature Les Paul. Not even Jerry Cantrell himself. He sure didn't need one when he wrote and recorded those songs we love. Just modded a regular '90s Custom and played that. So can most of us if we want to.
Collectors should stick to driving up the prices of their fancy bursts and flamed tops instead of going after our beloved underdog finishes like wine red and silverburst
Silverburst has been expensive for twenty years. They were 3500-4000 in the early 2000s and now with the whole Adam Jones clusterfcuk its going to get unobtanium.
Love it, always loved the whine red. No pick guard, even better.
I like the look of LPs without pickguards but they serve a physical purpose. Lot of people use them as a pinky rest for picking accuracy.
I love pickguards
Hi. You said the tuning was Drop D then another’s half step down -was that all strings or jut the low E?
Does that make it C# tuning
All alice in chains songs are written in Eb. So all six strings are tuned down a half step. When Jerry opts to use drop D he lowers the pitch of the low e string down a step which of course is in relation to the tuning of the other strings so you wind up with Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
@@BigTyronie thank you - much appreciated 🤙
To answer your question: "JJ" or "Double J" is the name of the ranch that he and his dad, also named "Jerry" (the guy "Rooster" was written about).
This Custom sounds amazing, never thought I’d want a guitar with a piezo pickup.
Congrats on 200k!
Jerry originally played a G&L Rampage at least until late nineties.AIC with Layne Staley is one of the greatest bands ever. Their last (with staley) self titled album is a masterpiece.
Yes indeed
Jerry played a white les paul custom that entire time too. Its been seen enough that its not specualtion
@@BigTyronie You're right! I'm just saying that the G&L was his main guitar.
Tripod? Bruh tripod is a decent album don’t get me wrong but idk that I’d call it a masterpiece. Their other two full length albums were fucking splendorous
@@assnapkined9295 Thankyou. Hate saying it myself because AIC has always been in my top 3 and Jerry is an idol of mine as a guitar player. While I love Tripod.... For me it is their weakest record.. I appreciate the change up and the experimentation with sludge metal and such, (definitely unique and nothing like the rest of their catalog) I can never seem to keep that record in rotation much. Everything else including TDPDH are absolute bangers and masterpiece works of art to me. Especially Face-lift. Cheers mate.
Love your
show thats the best I have ever heard you play, stick with it brother!!
Excellent AIC riffs and I can tell you're a real fan!!! They are one of my favorite bands of all time for sure.
So fan of this guitar... Can't thank enough Jerry and the band for signing my guitar in Montreux Jazz after awesome concert in 2018 ... 🙏🏻👏🏻❤️
Damn internet was down
Met Jerry with In Flames at LAX airport. He was a super chill guy. 😊
i have a 1993 studio ebony frets gold hardware,,action is a dream still,,even came in a top case (2nd hand)
Troglys. I need help finding a black bridge and tail piece for my Ibanez LP. Nothing fits!
hey trogs!!! waz cool to see u show the transluscent blue limited colours edition...i have the translucent black, some refer to as mocha...cheers brother!!!
One of my fav episodes yet 🤘🤘
I have a 76 Custom that looks nearly like that one but the finish is way more yellow and not cracked but hazy and slightly soft after all the years in the South USA. It's not a gigging guitar much. Heavy pancake body, heavy like solid concrete. The original old pups squeal a little but great with a little amp in the studio. Robert Fripp played a Wine Custom as well.
Alice In Chains were about alternative chord structures, like flattened 7ths, and how an alternative melody could work with those structures. Saying they were all about the vocals and not guitar isn’t a thoughtful statement.
What's the meaning of 5 3 and 2 1 in the action section of the pre-pack checklist?
Frets?
Have you done a review on a 1996 GLP Standard Plus?
Great video! Cool to see JC's signature guitar up close!
Does is have 50s wiring or modern??
I have to say that’s one of the best sounding guitars you’ve had one the Channel in a while in my opinion and great playing trogly love Alice I’m chains and Jerry Cantrell so thanks for documenting
I’ve been waiting for this video, I love Jerry! great video man.
Do you put the same strings on after reassembling it?
He does, most all of the guitars he demos are with the strings they shipped with.
@@hkguitar1984 yep, unless he breaks one.
This guitar sounds awesome, I especially like the piezo tones.
Great sounding guitar!
Who here remembers when the Wine Red color on Gibson guitars was a couple of hundred cheaper than the other colors.
Ppl dont realize Jerry sang a hell of a lot more on the albums and live than ppl realize. His voice blended so well with Layne's alot of the time you cant tell the difference.
The final song written with Lane , “Died” has an awesome guitar riff as well…
On time and on point !
Yeah those chips of paint that came off look out of place ... My guess is they went a bit too deep on checking and it wasn't supposed to be like that...
Not good for a murphy labs
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
@@garretazonsa I'm kind of surprised he was able to get such a heavy tone out of his Deluxe Reverb!
He sounded pretty good today.
I’m 41 and tried to look like lane as a young man🤘🏻 This is my favorite review. AIC was the nail in the coffin for hair bands! Check out Rain When I Die. Excellent as always little dragon😎
This is such an awesome show! Love this guy!
I don't know, that flaked off finish reminds me of the ML I had and returned. You sure that top is supposed to flake off like that?
AIC is my favorite band. Jerry is a G&L guy. Even loved his Ernie Ball Music Man Axis until someone stole it. He rarely played ''Wino''. This is sorta garbage.
That's a lovely guitar in the best color.
I truly believe resellers like trogly are who guitars appreciate in value. They always wanna make money off their purchase, so they are always raising the price more than they paid. When they become mass market retailers, they control the prices on such a huge supply of guitars.
Ok, I redact that because trogly says he will sell this one for retail price.
I'd love to get a wine red Les Paul, I've always loved that colour!
I remember hearing somewhere that Jerry said the "blowtorch" one was done with a soldering iron I believe
I heard that he did it with a cigarette
@@richardnolan3903 I heard cigarettes, too
Eh. He was mainly known to use the G&L Rampage mostly. And wasn't his LP Custom black? I don't remember a red one.
I totally guessed it trogly when you hinted in the older vid lol
5:48 yeah man he’s a Junior. His ranch in Oklahoma is called Double J Ranch too
Haven't Trogged in a while. watched till the end. Keep on Troggin..
I have a 74' wine red custom that I bought about 23 years ago. It was really beat up when I got it, everything that a collector would hate, 3 pc top, pancake body. Every time I use it with a new band that I join, someone will say "WTF is that, it sounds awesome and different", so there is something to those 70's LP's. I fixed everything wrong with it and still use it until this day. I loved it so much that I sold a 81' custom that was near perfect back then because it didn't feel or sound 1/2 as good as the 74. I recorded and toured with it the whole time and I think it sounds better and better every time I play it. It's gone through 5 pickup changes over the years(sweat and abuse I guess) and it still stands strong. It's still by favorite LP to this day even owning 30 guitars and still own 5 LP's and probably 100 guitars since. The JC is a rip off in my opinion, wine red were the easiest and cheaper Les Pauls to find about 10-20 years ago, I used to see them everywhere and I still see them often. I think people warmed up to them over the years so they are not so generic anymore. I love them so its no biggie to me.
I realize you cant like absolutely everything Gibson makes when doing signature guitars. But my thought is Jerry is a guy deserving of a signature ax. I personally dig the wine red finish. I remember seeing him play it back in 95 when Alice toured with Metallica.
I dont know how much modding someone like Eric Clapton did to his black Strat. Or David Gilmour with his red Strat. Yet both men deservedly received signature guitars. Is it because they were old guitars?
You're right. We are getting old. Jerry's guitar is almost 30 years old. I'd rock his signature guitar...this one....and enjoy it as a JC Signature instrument.
Gilmour's Red Strat was a brandnew '57 reissue, built in 1983, when he bought it directly from Fender's UK warehouse in early 1984. Stock electronics were gutted completely in 1985 and replaced with active EMG SAs set very low in the pickguard to make them sound more transparent, with less output and midrange. It had no traditional tone controls - instead it had a combo of an EXG (treble and bass boost plus mid scoop) and an SPC (mid boost). Gilmour very rarely used the EXG for anything and mostly left it flat. He used the SPC - in moderation - for leads/solos (on "7" at most, never fully cranked). The guitar was first used with these electronics on stage at Live Aid when Gilmour played with Bryan Ferry.
The switch to active EMGs happened because of intolerable levels of 50/60Hz cycle hum and RF noise, caused by lighting rigs/stage electronics and exacerbated by the long signal paths in Gilmours complex guitar rig. The regular Fender single coils the guitar originally had sometimes picked up more noise than string vibrations in that environment.
Gilmour's Black Strat is a completely different animal. It started out as a second-hand late '60s CBS-era sunburst strat that had already been oversprayed/refinished with black paint when it was bought. Endless modifications over the years, too many to go into detail on in a RUclips comment. You can find entire websites and books about that guitar and its different versions. It has had at least three different vibrato systems and half a dozen different necks, including one made by Charvel and - in more recent times - the original neck of the Red Strat! In a way it's the mother of all "partscasters", nothing on and in the Black Strat is orginal, except the wood of the body. And even the body was routed out and refilled to install a Kahler vibrato, then switch back to a vintage Fender-style.
In a way the Black Strat is the Fender equivalent to Neil Young's "Old Black" Gibson. That guitar doesn't have it's original neck either - or anything else, except the wood of the body and (possibly) the neck pickup (under a different cover). People still refer to it as a '53 Les Paul, but it's really a mid-to-late '60s creation with the body of a '53. The "face" of the headstock is actually the one used on SG Standards because the neck was replaced by Gibson at a time when they didn't build any Les Pauls. That's right, the arguably most famous pre-humbucker-era early-'50s Gibson Les Paul on the planet is really a '60s "partscaster" with a '50s body, a '60s SG neck and a '60s Firebird bridge pickup (not a "mini humbucker", same size, but those have pole pieces and are constructed -and sound - differently)!
