📚Description: Gibson did an Aged and VOS reissue of the Randy Rhoads Les Paul Custom. This isn't one of those, but it is very close to the Aged version minus a few minor appointment differences. This one is a monster player!

Man, I absolutely love your channel. I’m a bass nerd rather than a guitar nerd, but I’ve a real love for getting under the skin of instruments. I’m a new dad, and you’ve kept me company on many a sleepless night when our daughter has no designs for sleeping. Thanks for turning out so much quality content. Big love from the UK.
I'm both a bass and a guitar nerd,but I feel you, brother. Trogly has been my nighttime buddy ever since COVID. And he helped me with a 75 black Custom I bought right before the pandemic kicked off. So I feel a little something for 20th anniversaries.
I’m surprised Murphy Lab hasn’t done “stand rash” as part of the relic!!
Randy Rhoads is the reason I play guitar. Love this guitar!
Nobody will ever play like randy again. He is my favourite of all time.
dayum that buttercream color looks so good
If you're interested in a cheap alternative that is VERY close to this color (and do any finish work on guitars, be it kits or refins, etc..) There is a rattle can from Rustoleum 2x called heirloom white that looks amazing on guitars if your into this buttercream aged look.
@@leviathan_is_meThanks for the mad tip!!
@@danielbreaux1842 any time
Randy will always be my favorite guitarist.
Randy got the early to mid '70s LP custom when he was with the band Quiet Riot. His band mates gave him the guitar as a gift from what I heard.
His manager
Quite Riot?
@@nkmcfrln Quite right!
@@Rockr69747 haha! Deep cut, I can hear Kevin telling the name story in that late 70s quiet riot radio interview 😄🙏🏼
@@nkmcfrln typos strike again.... 😅
If only Randy had lived a couple more years. He was really just getting out of the gate with his writing and playing. That LP sounds amazing
Randy will live forever. He was 25 when we lost him but he has been gone 42 years. He is in no danger of being forgotten.
He was pretty adamant about quitting at the end of the tour, and going to college.
Would’ve been very interesting to see where he would’ve gone onto.
@Daddy53751 He couldn't have quit at the end of the "Diary" tour, because he was under contract. His brother Kelle, and bassist/best friend Rudy Sarzo have both said that he had finally agreed to do the live album of Sabbath songs (which he had initially refused to play on because he hated those songs), plus he would've done one more studio record and tour in '82/'83, then he would've been free to leave the band. Former bassist Bob Daisley said that there were already plans for Ozzy, Randy, Bob, and drummer Tommy Aldridge to make a new studio record in summer or fall of '82. He tried leaving, believe me, but he was threatened with lawsuits
@@JokersWild70 that sucks even worse!
Dude doesn’t really like the rock & roll life, and kinda just wants to go home, and he’s stuck in the loonie bin.
(But I would’ve seriously loved to hear what he would’ve done next)
I’m still bent after all these years, as I had my ticket for the Diary tour, and well you know what happened next.
I’ve seen some incredible shows back in the days, but that was gonna be first.
@Daddy53751 I'm sorry you missed it. I never got to see him live either, and that pisses me off. I feel robbed, but I was born in '70, so I was 11 when he was killed, plus I didn't discover Randy until '83, then I got both Blizzard and Diary. He was amazing!
been waiting ages for this video
15:46 Great sound Trogly.🎶🎸 🔈👍
I had a 75 custom. It didn't have high frets, but it didn't have the small 50's spec frets. They were low and wide.
I love Randy, but Tommy Shaw and Wild Cherry were the reason my first Les Paul was a white custom. Had the tuners with flip out tuner cranks. Those are very hard to find these days. Mine was purchased new in 1982.
This one sounded really nice! Maybe it was just your amp tone settings or whatever but I think it sounded exceptionally good.
Very cool guitar!
Woot woot Trogly's guitars 🎸 🙌
Amazing tones, the Super 74 pickups are awesome.
Imo.
That repetitive checking does not look good.
While I really love pretty wood, white LP's just look so cool. That one is nice. It has the "look". ❤
Thanks Trogly for all the fun over the years. Even if you won't try out a G&L Asat. I think you'd like it.
No matter what I'll keep watching you. You rock!!!
He liked the small frets. He said he didn't like big frets
I have a black custom from the same era with the same tuners and bridge also does not have the 20th anniversary inlay. I was told that my guitar is probably late 74 early 75 having the ABR1 and the Schaller tuners.
I love my guitar and it sounds amazing… seems to get better tone as it ages. I had mine refretted with liking the same threads that are on your reissue in this video. Night and day difference from the original flat frets. Mine also has the skinnier neck and I love it.
Thank you for posting this video because it gave me a lot of information on my guitar and I love your channel
Nice! I have a black 74 LPC, I added a Kahler nut on the headstock and added a TP-6 lol. It has no breaks or cracks and it was refretted perfectly, and the bridge T-top must have been wound hotter or something. Its an amazing player guitar
Is your serial number stamped or is it a decal?
@@SHENDOH stamped
@@brianice9846 I ask because they used the decals from 75 to 77. 70 to 74 got 6 digit stamp with made in USA underneath. I'm sure some early 75 probably did too. I have a 76
@@SHENDOH my neck is mahogany too. So I believe it’s Kalamazoo made.
Thats just flat out Kool sounds great 👏👍🤘
Neat looking Custom. I like the creamy aged white and the aging limited to checking without needing to go down to the wood. I think that gold control knobs might contrast better than the black. Sounds good too. I have a soft spot for '70s Les Pauls, volutes and pancakes included.
Love those pickups. Your demo playing is getting much better. Keep up the practicing and learning! Great review!
Thanks for the coverage on this model! I bet those super '74 pickups would sound amazing in an ES-335.
I don’t usually comment…guitar and pickups sound amazing
Can’t remember for sure but these may have started as special orders from The Music Zoo. They did a similar thing with Jackson and got them to make some tribute guitars to Randy’s Concorde. I have 2 of those, a white with black pinstripes and a Floyd, and the other I was told was a custom order after the run, it’s black with white polka dots and bow tie inlays on the fretboard. Need to pick up one of these LPs soon.
Very nice 🙂 looks very much like jonseys 74, with the witch hats😁
I also have a few other guitars. F body guild. 1957 Martin acoustic. Old Yamaha acoustic and some other stuff. Really hope to hear back from you. Thank you again. Aloha!
Miss him every day
Did you know him? Why do people say shit like this? He was a good guitarist but come on.
If only they missed the bus
I was fortunate enough to see him play on tour with Ozzy...he was an incredible guitarist.
Well i have a 81 cherry burst les paul custom. i replaced all the plastics with cream and the pickups with dimarzios. Paf in the neck and super distortion on the bridge. id not trade it for any of these rhodes guitars ever. beautiful guitar
So funny I was on your website looking for a 1974 Gibson yesterday! And then you post this the next day! ❤
wow those pickups sound fantastic!
' Double Pitch Fork things on the S ' are called Serif's in typography ...gorgeous 74 reissue ...and that tone '
Nice job on the Randy Rhoads riffs. :-) Killer sounding guitar, too...
This one sounds great! Love those under wound humbuckers! Austin, you’re playing is getting better and better, have you considered straying or joining a band?
That's sweet! 😎
Wish they have more 70's reissues like that.
I think this is one of my favorite sounding LP's you've reviewed...
I love the aged white Les Paul custom 😎😎😎😎
wow those pickups sound amazing! bridge is silky smooth bridge is still bright for a humbucker
Let's go !!!
I have an all original ‘74 white 20th Anniversary LP. Now the aged tobacco yellow. Even has the original Grover gold petal tuners. I am thinking of sending it over for your show if interested. I will check your website. I got it to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Can’t believe I pulled that off.
This would be a great candidate to refinish!
1:50 I actually quite like this one Mr Trogly. It speaks to me for some reason!!
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
11:25 I always love your Pokemon references
I have a particular soft spot for white LPC's. My first 'proper' guitar was a white 1990 LPC & she's been my gigging guitar ever since. I've retired the old girl pretty much nowadays, as I don't really gig anymore but I'd never part with her. Of all my guitars, she's special.
Sounds amazing. What amp are you playing through?
Your playing has gotten better Trogly! 😊🎉
15:35 man that sounds awesome. Chorus or flanger ? What distortion pedal did you use ?
Whats the track called?
This guitar was probably painted at the Memphis plant, back then Nashville white guitars were sent to Memphis and then shipped back to Nashville to be aged, which would account for the mfg'd in 2018 and final check in 2019.
Aloha, big RR fan from his early Quite Riot day’s with that type of guitar! Tone was spot on! Great video today!!
I watch nearly all of your videos and even among the really expensive guitars, I've rarely heard one sound that good!
Love this LP!
TROG,DID I HEAR YOU RIGHT, YOUR GOING ON TOUR WITH ozzy
When Ozzy tours next - yes, 100% confirmed
Which guitars will you be touring with?
Lol
Have you ever documented fano or novo guitars?nice episode btw👌
Randy got it from "Ronno" one of his musical inspirations.
Mick Ronson.
Nope,bands manager gave him the guitar,but randy did like ronson.
Yep, the 'Super '74s are all that. I heard them on the Sweetwater Demo- Brian- I think is his name. " this Is: 70s Custom Reissue(whatever)", as he poses with it.
Any who, they jumped out as sounding great on demo, they never mud or screech out - super musical. Ü ♫
Sounds great! Love customs
I’m so glad I got to see Randy Rhodes when the Blizzard of Oz tour rolled through town. (Motörhead was the opening band). If you watch the documentary about Randy, it’s absolutely heartbreaking. His death was somebody else’s fault. He should still be with us today making great music.
Saw Randy on that same tour in Boston. So sad, you could tell he was going to be one of the best.
Motorhead had just released 'Ace of Spades'. A worthy support band. Needless to say my ears were still ringing the next day.
I bought one of the official Gibson stands and my R9 die actually absorbed into the Nitro safe hanger and I had my TV yellow Les Paul junior on there for just a few days and it totally got pink neck bite or kissed
No such thing as "nitro safe." Try to find any company that will guarantee their stands or hangers being "100% nitro safe" and offers a warranty if they are not. If Gibson says theirs is, then I'd absolutely contact them so they can repair your guitar.
@@JokersWild70 I cut up a really old black t shirt, and sewed up a bunch of padding covers for all of my hangers for exactly that reason. I never have and never will trust that any hanger is 100% nitro safe. Keeps my guitars safe and my mind worry free (at least when it comes to my guitars, haha).
Now I put socks on all my guitar hangers....... a black sock works perfectly
Trogly your playing has really improved! Great video as usual
I managed to pick up a 74 custom for £3600 awhile ago. Almost nothings original, it’s been refretted but with tiny frets so no the best for bends but I do love it.
They do Norlin era reissues?
Cool, for me is the Steve Jones guitar.
super 74 pickups sound really nice
It sounds awesome
@TroglysGuitarShow. I like your shirt with the calipers and the words first fret neck depth.
Love that Pokemon reference with Registeel. Did you play Violet/Scarlet? What starter did you get?
I stopped playing the new ones after Sun/Moon
@@Trogwell if you want to, I have some of the latest Pokémon’s to give out. Like the Black Tauros and the cutest pig pokemon Lechonk.
All the great early blues players then Les Paul, Chuck berry( if he would have been born white there wouldn’t have been an Elvis & dude had a song literally called my ding a ling), Hendrix and Page, EVH, RR, Vai Satriani Yngwie DIME and now John P and Henson. The evolution of amazing mastering of the fretboard and where it started from where it came to can largely be contributed to this small handful of people
I like Gibson's Epiphone guitars. I own a Gibson Sg but I like and play my Epiphone way more. And because I purchased the Epiphone instead of another Gibson, I could then afford a Squier and two more epiphones and a decent amp and some pedals and some food!
Thanks Gibson for your Epiphone iterations!
Best guitar I heard so far. Just doesn't take the cake for me as I love the Bill Wilde pickups better.(1986)
Bitchin' Les Paul , it's crazy , but that's how it goes ...Ive thought about the physical difference between Randy and Zakk W. , Randy was a tiny guy , Zakk is a freakin' Frazetta viking , and SO WHAT !!!??? hee-ho-haw ! Thanks Trogly !
I’ve got my ‘74 right there in the profile pic!
I've been advancing at the break neck speed of freeze dried molasses for more than 50 years. Even so, It's got to be Gibson, Fender and Martin for me! Okay I also have a Rainsong carbon fiber! At least my instrument won't be the reason I'm shit! I have more time now so trying to get better. Not dead yet!
Awesome playing Trogly you sent me to high school🤟
i prefer les paul customs over standards and other les pauls.. they just have a more jazz oriented sound..
I had a Norlin era 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom in white, that had faded to a banana yellow. It looked fantastic! But, it weighed a ton, and didn't play all that great. So, I sold it. Wouldn't want it back. I bought a 2022 Gibson Custom Shop M2M Les Paul Custom in aged white, and it is a far better guitar than the old boat anchor that '74 Les Paul was! My 2 cents on the vintage vs modern examples.
I like the 70's vintage black beauty more
Impressive playing of Crazy Train Trogly! Someone's been practicing! The reissue definitely sounds better.
People especially up and coming players need to know that Randy Rhodes wasn't even the 2nd famous Gutarist to make a 1974 Les Paul Custom in White influential. Sylvain Sylvain from the New York Dolls (who played along side with the legendary player Johnny Thunders) was very influencial with a white Les Paul Custom in the early 70s. Malcom McLaren then took one of Sylvain's Les Paul Customs to London and gave it to Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols to practice with while McLaren was managing the Sex Pistols. Jones kept the Custom and added some pinup girl stickers on the front and the rest is history. There are several other guitarist who played white Les Paul Customs but I will always think of Steve Jones first before Randy Rhodes when it comes to these guitars because his sound on one of the greatest Albums ever made "Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" blows me away.
Lindsey Buckingham played a 74 custom for several years as well.
He was a metal God. So they had to reproduce this guitar. It's a great guitar plays freekin awesome if this is set up right it plays itself. Right Trogly just kidding thank you for showing the unfamous 74 peace!
Randy's guitar had T- top pickups, he also replaced his tuners with Schaller tuners.
@9:57 Whoa, are the 12th fret side dots always spaced that far apart?
'74 spec thing
Good show randy would have been smiling R I P
you've been playing...sounds good
Very nice, but I think those repeated checking patterns look awful. I'm fortunate enough to own the original 20th Anniversary Custom (Ebony with 2 Super Distortions), but did you say these are more expensive than the original? BTW, it sounds amazing!
There is a rattle can paint that is about 99% perfect to this aged white. Rustoleum (spelling) 2x Heirloom White. If you're a person who does kits, builds, or refinishes guitars and wants a nice, aged look, that paint is a good start.
i started playing guitar 11 years ago because i learned about randy rhoads. white lp custom is my dream guitar
So if it's painted buttercup now, what color will it naturally age to? Dark brown?
Sounds killer.
Looks like it sold fast! Anyone see what Trog was asking for it? Just curious. Thanks
Those 74s sound good.
Wasn't the RR a painted guitar (Not Translucent) with gold speed knobs (Not black witch hats)?
9:36 I know it’s probably traditional but I really don’t see the point of fret nibs in this day and age.
I’d rather not have them.
Damn that is gorgeous!
your playing is coming along nicely.
I know this is apples to oranges but my 76 Deluxe has the horns on Gibson and the I is dotted.
I thought that checking was a flame top at first
Randy my Idol!
These are my favourite Les Paul’s
Randy certainly has ( and had) lots of fans.....
Are you positive it would've had a mahogany neck? Most of the norland era Les Pauls had maple necks even the customs.
'75 is a transitional year into maple necks. Most are maple by '76. The early norlins are mahogany
