That's the most gorgeous quilt top I've ever seen. And the vertical lines going from the bridge to the bottom are almost like the bearded lady guitars, but WAY better. Stunning. And nickel finish hardware, nice. Good find!!
I love the blue oceany quilts, what I want to see though is a blue-yellow burst, like the sun reflected on the water. And just generally as a color combination that can be pretty striking if done right that guitars don't do often. There's blue-white bursts that are a similar idea, and you can sort of see what I'm thinking of if you look up videos of the process for making a blue-green burst finish, where sometimes they do it by having yellow dye in the middle then applying a layer of blue over it.
THAT PURPLE AND THE GREEN that followed it are my absolute favorite colors, EVER!!!😎 I couldn’t afford a set of the pickups!!! But… I do have a faded LP style more of a lavender that a deep violet of the color change you did and it was $350, my favorite is my Godin LG with a GK-2 pickup hooked to both a Roland GR-33 & 55 and a pedalboard!🤞someday!?!😎😳soon I’m 73! You don’t have a Firebird V that needs a daily walk do you???😵💫
Salutations Austin! Exceptional quilt top on that Special Edition Sixties Les Paul Standard, however, that top is nothing close to standard, it’s brilliant and has so much movement, I can see why it is a triple A quilt top. It sounds just like it should. Definitely one of the nicer quilt tops I’ve seen lately, except for the NAMM show one you featured recently. Thank you for sharing your experience with this instrument with us all! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸
I own one like it - highly recommended. I did change the pups and add a Duesenberg tremolo and locking tuners. Mine weighed in at 8.4 lbs - more manageable for 3 hr gigs-they're out there if you look for them. I paid 2750 plus shipping
I didn't realize that there was a water fall name on this standard. Shipping was so bad during Covid. I received alot of damaged articles. One broken neck on a guitar. It was covered but the inconvenience sucked. I do like the finish looks like an artic blue quilt top but what do I know. Good she Trogly thanx bud.
When Gibson sent my LP Classic last NOV, the same exact knob was smashed, but irreparable. They made due and sent me a whole new set, but luckily NOTHING else was damaged.
I’m really hoping your next video is going to be covering the new Epiphone Inspired by Gibson line! Specifically the Ebony Custom!!! Much love Trogly ❤️🎸
I've got a 2014 model in ocean water perimeter that has been may favorite guitar for 10 years now. Not a cool quilt top like this, just a flame but it's still gorgeous.
I love blue and I love quilted tops…that thing is BEAUTIFUL! Love it! I am not a fan of the blue green back though. I’d rather it be a brown back. So beautiful!
Gibson always hits it out of the park recently with the 60 standards they just sound phenomenal in my opinion they sound much better than a 50 standard heck even the bridge position on clean sounds good too
Wao one of the more beautiful examples yet!! I see your show everyday and this one really impressed me...By the way those pick-ups sound awesome!! If i had 3200 dollars she would be mine!!
Shame about the cracked knob. Top is kind of magical, and the grain on the back is pretty nifty as well, though I'm not sure how I feel about those colours on a LP.
In my experience, widows don't age a guitar much as they usually leave them in the attic, closet, or under the bed if they aren't handed down or sold after the husband died.

White, with Indian Silver fittings
At certain angles I can see the green show up in that top. That is such a gorgeous guitar. Who ever gets it is one lucky person.
The Epiphone Carribean blue for app. 1/5 of the price of the Gibson LP Modern figured.

@Trog a beautiful 1984 Gibson map guitar just showed up on Marketplace in Pittsburgh for 3k

That top is so nice. I've never seen a quilt chevron guitar before. A big plus is it moves nicely. A true beauty!
Love Gibson, that Quilt is sweet, but compared to a PRS it looks kinda mid. 🤘🏼👍😊

New grail guitar. This is a beauty! WOW!
That's a beautiful guitar and it sounds good too! I would hang onto that one!
This is beautiful! My Les Paul standard has a tea burst finish.
Saw this for sale on reverb a while back, they are 3299 new available at Zzounds and Sweetwater.
$2000 too much... In 2024 they're a dinosaur, who's on the slow road to extinction.
Hey from Whanganui New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤
nice looking LP! I like going poker chip-less and no pickguard on nice top les pauls
Gorgeous top. I would dye the fretboard so it looks like ebony.
I didn't realize that there was a water fall name on this standard. Shipping was so bad during Covid.
I received alot of damaged articles. One broken neck on a guitar. It was covered but the inconvenience sucked. I do like the finish looks like an artic blue quilt top but what do I know. Good she Trogly thanx bud.
Absolutely beautiful. I have a nice Epiphone but not as nice as this one. Love the color. And I barely play.
That is one SWEET TOP😮😮😮❤❤
The color and grain are beautiful!
Gorgeous top, but i wish they left the sides and back natural. Would look much better.
Beautiful maple top and a lovely colour showing the beauty of the maple 👍👍👍
The bridge pick up is HOLY! You should've tried to get this out with Easter ;)
Green and blue guitars are all ya need! 💙 Lovely top!
Wow that the quilted top is amazing! It kind of reminds me of my Electromatic Gretsch 5655T QT
When Gibson sent my LP Classic last NOV, the same exact knob was smashed, but irreparable. They made due and sent me a whole new set, but luckily NOTHING else was damaged.
Great looking axe... sounds even better👍 ... nice score, Brother...🎸
I love that you show off cool Les Pauls
I love this one.
Crazy top! Would Love to see that in a emerald green 💚
What about a Tobacco burst over a quilt top like this. Has such a thing ever been done?
@@Madakalim now that sounds fantastic 😍
I’m really hoping your next video is going to be covering the new Epiphone Inspired by Gibson line! Specifically the Ebony Custom!!! Much love Trogly ❤️🎸
That is one phenomenal guitar!! I absolutely love everything about it!
Ooo yes this Ocean Water LP 60s exclusive is the prettiest Standard around! Quilt top just makes it that much prettier. Glad to see it documented.
I've got a 2014 model in ocean water perimeter that has been may favorite guitar for 10 years now. Not a cool quilt top like this, just a flame but it's still gorgeous.
I love blue and I love quilted tops…that thing is BEAUTIFUL! Love it! I am not a fan of the blue green back though. I’d rather it be a brown back. So beautiful!
That is a damn beautiful guitar!
It was the "Heat of the Moment" by AZIA!
I went to GC and the new Studio satin finish feels like the Epiphone 59 finish but will flake off I guess which is way cool these days i guess
That is absolutely gorgeous!
The blue Les Paul reminds of the argonavis special version
That’s a beauty!
That blue is gorgeous!
The AAA Quilt top just works,looks like the top is crushed blue velour,it's cooler than cool
Love the colors.
love the colour Trogly, the honeyburst lush too!
Hey @ trog really want to get ahold of a birth year guitar 1994 preferably in a tobacco any tips? And how much would I need to save up
These are back in Stock a AMS at 3099.00 for a new axe and you can pick out the one you want now.
Such a beautiful guitar!!
Some wild quilt!
Not sure how I feel about the color though
Good example of why I think modern guitar tops should be LCDs. Awesome colors - Good work Trogly!
well enjoy your guitar, id take the amber one. im not big on blue guitars and certainly not with green backs.
Does Gibson not put baby pictures in the case anymore?
That's a killer top.
That thing is BEAUTIFUL
Great-looking guitar!
Nice guitar
Gibson always hits it out of the park recently with the 60 standards they just sound phenomenal in my opinion they sound much better than a 50 standard heck even the bridge position on clean sounds good too
Ya teased me with that little piece of a Black Dog riff!
That is beyond beautiful! 😍
Sweet top to go with a sweet sound.
OUTSTANDING ! ! !
Wao one of the more beautiful examples yet!! I see your show everyday and this one really impressed me...By the way those pick-ups sound awesome!! If i had 3200 dollars she would be mine!!
Pickguard ON on this one!
WOW WOW WOW!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!
prefer a 58, or 59 neck, and yes, if its got a stunning top the pick gourd should cone off!
and the tulip kluson tuners!
Shame about the cracked knob. Top is kind of magical, and the grain on the back is pretty nifty as well, though I'm not sure how I feel about those colours on a LP.
beautiful top
That's a keeper!
I dunno Austin I thought that what you thought was an "L" in the pickup cavity was probably a "6" for sixties
That is correct
I think the back color looks better than the front color lol
I literally came here to say just that ha. The back is beautiful ba
What happened to black light testing
In 2019 we were sold the lie that Gibson had turned a corner and there qc was much improved. Imo the chinese epiphone is the way to go these days.
hate the back, love the blue quilt def gotta use the pick guard- my blue cloud tele rarities is nicer though
I like the guitar 🎸
This one should have been sold with a clear pickguard if you wanted to install one.
that figure is called "angel step"
Makes my eyes feel like I just got out of the pool.
I would guess the knob broke when the case lid hit it. Just lucky it didn’t hit that top
That top is sweeeeet!
i saw one in my local guitar shop, $29000 hong kong dollars , $3000 more than standard.
+1 for Asia 🤘
There is a clear pickgard you could put on it
I want a relic’ed dirty lemon 59 reissue. I wonder if I could leave a new standard in a widow. Lol.
In my experience, widows don't age a guitar much as they usually leave them in the attic, closet, or under the bed if they aren't handed down or sold after the husband died.
61T are great
Beauty
I love the top.Just wish the back was natural not that weird blue color
That’s def a looker for sure
Gorgeous top but I just don’t like blue finishes.
I love Gibson, just so expensive 😢
Not exclusively made for them as zzounds has them
They have the same parent company and pull from similar stock pools
I get heart palpitations looking at that top. Its quite beautiful.
Let’s do this!
What a beauty
God Gibson sucks so much at book matching. Unvelievable
Austin...looking good with the weight loss!
Came here looking for Trogly’s review of the new Epiphone 355…
I don't like that they're doing two piece mahogany backs on some Les Pauls.
Beautiful top....too bad the sides and back don't match the top....(to me)
Last time i came this early i became a dad 😂
It took me a second...🤣
Nice!!!
Had to read that twice😂😂😂
i wish a guitar that really did change colour with a switch existed 😂😂😂😭😭😭
