I wish I had a shop like you man.

[@GuitarChimp]

Thank you!!!!

[@silverfr3ak]

Thanks for explanation! I knew one thing or another, but not everything.
That’s my dream guitar (any double pickups black custom, not necessarily a reissue) and thank God, I could get one, a 2009 custom shop.
It’s been 2 years and I’m still fascinated by this guitar, the look and the sound.

[@georgehoggatt3759]

Just mine, I'm in love.

[@hkguitar1984]

Which guitar is he playing in the outro, USA LP Custom or the Custom Shop '57?

[@reverb508]

That's the 57. The biggest giveaway is that volume and tone knobs. The regular Customs have speed knobs and the 57's have black bell knobs.

@@reverb508Thanks reverb508, I see that now that you've pointed it out.
I really hope to someday own an all mahogany Les Paul (preferably the R4 with the P90/Staple pickups).

[@reverb508]

@@hkguitar1984 No problem! Hope you get your dream guitar soon! Those P-90 equipped Customs sound wonderful

[@hkguitar1984]

@@reverb508 Agreed, I have a '54 style Goldtop with P90s that I love, however I've always wanted to try one of those AlNiCo 5 Staple pickups.

[@classicrocker889]

Amazing Sound you have . I have a Great Sound with mine too.

[@PK22-b7v]

What year is this reissue ?

[@sergejkrynycky728]

SO the regular Les Paul Custom is "Made in USA" which means that it is NOT a custom shop guitar? Or..?

[@the-creech4790]

There was no Custom Shop in 1997

[@GuitarChimp]

@@the-creech4790 The custom shop was started in 1986 and the historic division was started in 1993.

[@the-creech4790]

I could be wrong but I purchased a 97 3 pu Custom black beauty in 97. no certificate. I asked the Les Paul forum and was told my guitar was a historic not a custom shop hence no certificate or custom marked case. Not marked in any way an R7. Have I been given false info?

[@themanwhowasntthere6311]

The original and most of the modern 57 Custom reissue, arent using a glued top at all. The entire body is a single piece of solid mahogany. Same with the 55/55/56. A 57 Custom is extacly as a 55 constructionwise, just with Humbuckers.

[@veithkilbert4253]

These older 57 reissues don't have solid body mahogany? They have glued top? I was looking at early 2000s one.

[@themanwhowasntthere6311]

@@veithkilbert4253 I have a 2009 and is a single piece of mahogany, no cap/top. Cant say for sure on the early 2000, but if you could get a picture of the control cavity, you can check if the hole that routes the pickup/switch wires, has a round profile or it's squarish. A single block of mahogany needs that hole to be drilled from the outside, thru the jack hole. A topped body has the route done via CNC (and it's perfectly squared), before the top is being glued. Rounded hole = no top, single block of mahogany. Squared hole = topped body.

[@danielbarza8600]

57 classics pickups have no bite whatsoever. Palm muting turns to mud.

[@jimjim7008]

This video is misleading because if you look clearly only one guitar was used... So it's not a comparison video... Absolutely pointless video
