Les Paul is in frame for 0.3 seconds
Me: Is that a rosewood fingerboard on a custom?
Right..
Yea, the rosewood really sticks out. Not my cup of tea when going for a Custom.
@@user-tz2zz5ij1s Yea same... if that was mine I'd ebony stain it.
@@DennisTrovato no you wouldnt
@@DennisTrovato That would be peak stupid. Sell it and buy a new one, don't fuck up a perfectly good product - and plummet its resale value - just because "muh ebunyz"
“I love the Guitar”. That is the only thing that matters.
Totally true
💯 right.
You are 100% correct.
Dude, yes, 💯

Somewhere out there Trogly is creaming his pants.
I was gonna comment....I wonder what Trogly thinks of this.
My first thought when I saw this video was 'send it to Trogly...'
Lol we all thought the same thing. Dude is starting to become the go to for Gibson.
Was just thinking the same thing!
Send to Trogoly!

maduro literally translates to "mature" from Spanish. In cigar terms, it's used for darker leaves of tobacco, most typically wrapper leaves. (the outer most leaf that a cigar is wrapped in.) source: I used to work for a cigar company. Now I really want one of these LPs.
Man even though it's not what you searched for at first, however that guitar is more like a 'custom' custom les paul and surely is a unique beauty
Gibson mysteries never get old...love it !!!!!!!
The rosewood really stands out!
In a bad way imo
@@chrismccreight8207 hate to hafta agree..
I would stain it black.
Baked maple.
Fluff: Avoid Les Pauls from 05-18.
Buys a 12.
Not on purpose!
@@RiffsAndBeards LOLz. Looks like it worked out just fine anyway🤘
@@RiffsAndBeardsthe main quality issues ive found in the 05-18 models seem to be mostly that the high e string got caught in the gap between the fret and the fret "nib" as they call it. Which is basically where the binding meets the frets ( im sure you probly know that.) some have it worse than others. have a 16 and its awesome. congrats man
Just because Gibsons have seen a huge deep in overall quality and QC in this time period (and I've seen a lot of horrors too) doesn't mean you can't find good ones, it means you have to try first. If it's good, it's good
@@the_hippykiller22 I completely agree. My first ever Gibson LP was actually an 05 with a Headstock break and I still love it.
What an amazing Axe. Love the deep brown finish. This was a really great video Fluff, thank you for sharing and keep us in the know about what things to look for and what to ask when searching for great gear!
I love stories like this. When an instrument has a back story and history, it makes it feel alive. Very cool guitar.
I remember seeing this model back then when I was searching for my 1st bucket list Gibson Les Paul Custom and decided against for lack of ebony fingerboard. Settled on 57' spec TV Silver instead. Congrats on the purchase!
it sounds so good! the parts get along so it’s well built. i wouldn’t get rid of it for nothing.
Cherish that beauty, I bought my first Gibson Les Paul Custom Figured Custom Shop last year, mine has a richlite fretboard but it’s absolutely incredible, it was a bucket list check for me as well. I have changed out the caps to orange drops. It’s my favorite over all mine.
My 1983 Les Paul Custom Shop Studio Custom has a rosewood fretboard.
Absolutely love it!!
When I first saw this LPC it made me think of the 2012 Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom in Wine Red I owned for about a year in 2012. Those models had baked maple boards (that I loved) during the wood shortage they were going through as you mentioned. Love the story behind this LPC.
I recently got my Dream les Paul custom, also very played. It has many dings and wear but I love that it has history and I won’t be so precious about bumping it every now and again. Great guitar dude, enjoy!
That's crazy! Glad everything worked out, I'd be super stoked to own one of those
If I was in the same situation, and the guitar I bought turned out to not be exactly what I thought it was, but was still exactly what I was looking for, I'd be ecstatic. You got one hell of a deal on one hell of a guitar, and in the end, it's exactly what you were looking for. Very cool.
I was in guitar center today, and stumbled upon this line 6 spyder, and it had YOUR preset on it and I fell in love with the tone! Not a bad amp for 320!
Glad it worked out! I am a total nerd for ebony, but no fretboard is better than a guitar that feels great with a fun story behind it
Wicked axe! I have a black 1974 Les Paul custom, have had it since 1985. I had a brother add a middle pickup years ago, and the neck has been totally redone. I love this guitar, and I have played many shows with it. Great video!!! I have subscribed!!
I agree. I don't play guitar much, but I have many guitars on my bucket list, and a LP Custom is in my top 5. I want an older 70-80s. Trogly made me fall in love with the Norland era
This is great!! Love a good guitar story! Fluff, you should for sure do more guitar stories!
That brown finish makes it even cooler IMO, also sick ETID riff!
That cut from where it's melancholy soft music to you smashing out The New Black by ETD was priceless 😂. Awesome band by the way, one of my all time favorites. Those dudes are touring MONSTERS. Them playing the last song of the last set of the last Warped Tour EVER and ending it with Map Change will forever be one of those moments that make me wanna cry like a giant man baby lol. They had to basically start taking the stage down around them to stop. So fvcked up....
You said it. Nothing else matters because you love the guitar. Congrats on a great find! Rock on!
That is a great story. I'm Les Paul Custom guy and did not notice it was a rosewood fretboard till you mentioned it. Great video. btw, your guitar sounds fantastic.
Love guitar stories. We all have them. Awesome guitar Fluff!!
The tone coming from that beast is heavenly!
Black Beauty has always been one of my dreams, a brown one that looks black is pretty awesome! Enjoy that gorgeous beast man!! Cheers!
Glad it’s all worked out well in the end. Geeeetar looks / sounds epic which is probably more down to your playing. 🤙🏽😇
W0W! Great story and killer provenance to add to that Maduro Brown Beauty! Congrats Fluff!!
I'm a fan of ambiguous colors like this, especially oxblood.
Started with my fascination with Abe Cunningham and his "bone blue" (aka not white) kit during the White Pony era.
Hard to choose between this and your satin PRS. 😍
@@filippop.6172 Ah, that's right. Good call.
My main dream guitar of many is a Gibson Les Paul custom silver burst 1979. Either still silver or that awesome zombie green they tend to turn into.
I think the rosewood board compliments the finish really well. Sounds great too. Jealous of your new purchase!!
hoooooooly F that’s amazing. the etid riff ripped. and that guitar is just absolute aces. i had no idea these existed.
And it is always cool to get a limited run Gibson(A model that fell through the cracks being as most people do not know about them). Congrats on the purchase.
Today on Roof, Spears and Gear ~RUclips Captions
Gotta love a good story behind a guitar 🤘🏼
I 100% get the bucket list thing. A couple years ago I got a 2011 Custom Shop LP8 58 Reissue on a crazy deal. It is LITTERALLY the most amazing guitar I've ever played.
Thats a badass unique guitar man. Good on you!
I recently purchased a 1992 black "studio" with gold hardware and ebony fret board. I got it home and inspected it and the body cavities are UGLY! Turns out it is a studio lite finished from the factory as a studio. So I ended getting a one of a kind factory freak for a really good price!
The rosewood fretboard stood out to me straight away, gorgeous guitar.
Baked maple.
very first thing I noticed was the fingerboard....and the ETID riff was nice...such a sick band...love the channel bro...solid content
I have never thought about the condition of a second hand guitar being a clue to how well it plays. It is so true, I bought a beat up Yamaha nxt900fm on eBay for £300 and it sounds amazing!
Congratulations! Nice Paul! Yes, Gibson did make some Customs with rosewood fretboards. I learned that a few years ago myself.
The New Black is my favorite riff everrrrr. And perfectly placed in the video ;)
Congrats on the guitar. I have one too and love mine.
To make a long story short, I had an ‘86 LP custom black with chrome finish (white binding, white MoP headstock and inlays - so made that way) that was stolen. I was on the hunt for another this year but prices obviously were insane. Then I ran across the Maduro with chrome! It plays exactly like my old Gibson and actually sounds better (I think the pickups are better) and I didn’t need to pay an insane markup for a custom.
Man, that's eve better than a black one! I love any dark colours(black included). My favorite is the Oxblood, and Wine Red is nice too.
Just got the les paul custom ebony. Turns up tomorrow! Very very excited!
Congrats on the new guitar man. Look rad!
I remember when they released the line, I was young and could not afford it. I really wanted it since I say someone play with it and he was so proud. rosewood vs Ebody, it's just a color, really. most of my favourite guitars had the weirdest guitars ever, they modified them and changed them. some of the took really cheap parts and assembled something while putting stickers on them.... It's all about the sound and feel. a great guitar is a great guitar no matter who makes them. I have LP CS R6, best Les Paul ever (underhanded pickups) and I have a LP standard which is the best R9 I ever heard and I tried a lot of them. be happy with your purchase :)
It is a sweet find. Sounds great, plays well, and you are happy. 🎸✌️😎
These were made around the time Gibson got raided for the illegal ebony they supposedly had. There were a lot of rosewood or maple fingerboard guitars built in that time cause all the ebony they had was confiscated. Ebony made a comeback and rosewood was scarce for a bit with the cites laws put in place around the same time. Gibson had to do those stacked rosewood fingerboards in 2012 on their models because of those laws (can't see it on a standard or custom LP cause of the binding but look at a custom shop Jr from 2012 and you can see the line of the stacked board). Kinda a weird time all around for guitar manufacturing.
It has LP Standard vibes in the tone for sure! Congrats Fluff
That LP is sick man. Enjoy it. So much character to it
Nuts to sending that back! That thing is WAY cooler than than "regular" black LP Custom.
Haha. I was wondering about the fretboard before you mentioned it. But turned out to be a good outcome. A rare guitar and a good deal on a guitar you dig. Congrats!
Actually love that color combo so classy! And Maduro cigars rock!
This thing rips. First thing I noticed was the lighter fretboard. Sick guitar
It sounds fantastic. I'm shopping for a LP Custom right now too and I hope I can find one that sounds this musical.
Digging it! Sounds great and I can see in your face it feels great. Keep it
I was gonna say ... at the right angle it almost looked like it had a oxblood finish to it.
But glad it turned out good for you !! It does look & sound nice !! :)
"the new black" I see what you did there.
I love that it's not quite the typical black LP custom.
Now the guitar has even more of an endearing story, is more unique than a regular custom, and you love it. Win-win-win
Stoked for you, and I definitely get the "played but not abused vibe." I have a 2007 LP Custom Black Beauty that has the same vibe and it's a great guitar on my "never sell" list. That said, if I were you, I'd probably return it or at least renegotiate the price just b/c it was mis-marketed.
7:14 thats the only thing that matters! Not to mention you have a killer story to tell about it!
you got a neat story and rad guitar and free channel content; triple win
Yeah, that guitar sounds amazing. Good find!
Wow what a great story! I didn't know either.
Thanks mate!
Happy New Year! :-)
Sometimes that special guitar just finds YOU my man. Sweet find.
Sounds killer! Congrats!
Nice story! Like the guitar. Keep the videos coming.
those etid riffs, man... instant headbanging
New black babyyyy
That’s a great story with a great ending !
Ya, a lot of Customs out there with rosewood boards. For me, It was also a bucket list guitar, but I wanted a black custom with an ebony board. So it's all about what you want.
Just bought a 2008 black Les Paul Custom with ebony fretboard for $2500. Super clean with the OHSC and case candy. Patience is key!
Wow, beauty! Nice purchase
Great stuff . Just the right amount of Geek and super playing.👌
I’d say you made out pretty damn good on that deal man! Congrats on you new baby!
*your
Wow. That's almost as good as a pawn shop find. Congratulations, man, well done.
Amazing, warm tone on this one ! 🐸👌🏻
Sounds and looks phenomenal indeed. If I was you, this would be the only guitar I would need. Rock on
You rocked the hell out of it so keeper no matter what
Just makes it even better!
Great energy, man. Great guitar.
Rosewood fretboard on a Custom...never saw it before ! But Gibson built so many quirks over time !!!
Nice I have a triple pickup with a bigsby custom historic art collection Gibson LPC and love it my pops bought it for me after 3 years of lessons it is a 57 black beauty reissue
diggin the new black riff
As soon as you showed the scratches and things I blurted out its wine red.I was wrong but look at it it looks wine red sometimes.I like it.
That's a killer guitar! Sounds really good!
Great story! I love guitars with stories like this
This reminds me of buying my LP Standard last year. I did a ton of research and decided the ebony board was important to me but didn't have the money for a custom. I found a run of weird finishes Gibson did in 2004 with Ebony fingerboards on standards and ended up buying one in in Pacific Burst which is sort of a light teal flame maple top with a very dark teal on the back of the body and neck. I also ended up having a chibson scare because of a small detail I did not notice beforehand and it has an undisclosed finish issue from a nut replacement on the treble side around the nut, but the guitar plays and sounds great otherwise.
don't know why anyone would even want to upgrade a gibson custom ..they sound and play so well right from the get go.
Lol the first thing I thought, “I thought those particular Les Paul Customs come with an ebony board”. Then you crossed that path. Also appreciate you playing Everytime I Die
Holy shit I just purchased a guitar like that one last week only mine wasn't a Maduro it was an ebony Les Paul with a rosewood fretboard and I absolutely love it!
Cool story, and yeah, definitely keep the guitar. It sounds monstrous!
that's a really cool accident. having something rare seems way more interesting. it's an odd piece of history and you get to tell a story. and you like the sound and feel, so it's a win all around.
This. Exactly!
As the song goes:
"You can't always get what you want
. But if you try sometimes, well, you might find, You get what you need"
You're happy with it and that's all that's important.
Similar story with my Schecter, bought remotely this year due to lockdowns.
Thought it was a good deal on a trans-black, 2012 Hellraiser Extreme Solo 6 - but it arrived as a set neck rather than a neck-through.
But everything else matched - 4 control knobs, flamed maple fretboard, TonePro's bridge, abalone binding etc.
Sleuthing ensued -
Found out it's a prototype - EMG 81/60 instead of the EMG 81/89R and a few other detail changes.
Made in South Korea.
While not what I wanted (still on the hunt for a production one) - this feels and plays great and is likely extremely rare as only a handful may have been made.
I wonder if Michael Ciravolo may have had a play on it at some point.
No idea how it got here as I'm in Australia.
Found an old setlist in the gig bag it came in - so, like yours, this thing has been played and has the dings to prove it.
I do very much love it - and even managed to find a new-old-stock Schecter case for it.
