The Les Paul Classic is one of those really special models within Gibson's History that often gets stated as a 90s model. 1990, 1991, 1992 are the years to get before the silkscreen "Les Paul Model" changed into "Les Paul Classic" ... but it is often forgotten that the Les Paul Classic actually started in late 1989. Today, we document the 30th production number Les Paul Classic constructed in 1989.

trogly have you watched the first ever interview with Mr. Kahler. he states that in the 80's when only 1500 kahlers were produced and sold. A very large company in japan had knocked it off and sold it to USA manufactures selling over 20k units and to this day this is still effecting the reputation to this day. I would link the video but being on RU-vid comments I will refrain from doing so. the interview was on Rexylab's channel on RU-vid its a must see and puts the 80's tremolo wars in a new light.

@jimjim7008 7 месяцев назад

@@kennethobrien6537 i love my stock ceramic pickups they are very responsive and help me achieve the sound I want from 70s classic rock, 80s hard rock to 90s grunge. I use my classic with 100W Made in England Laney GH100L tube amp. I get my perfect sound from the amp setting and also by controlling the volume knob for the bridge pickup. Also I found adjusting the pickups height makes massive difference to the tone which many people tend to ignore. I bonded so much with my guitar over the years that I couldn't find any reasons for keeping the other Les Pauls in my collection. I find the classic easier and faster to play due to its neck which fits me perfectly.

@Truthosaurus 6 месяцев назад

Dear Mr. Trogly, have you ever reviewed a Godin G series? I have 2 G1000's (a '93 for sure & '96 maybe??) and they sound great although one is oddly more powerful than the other. She just screams. You have to be on point when playing her. I originally planned to get the lot 1000-5000 but never pounced when I had opportunities. That is except for the mighty G5000. Very coveted and almost impossible to find. One of my dream guitars because Tommy "The Baron" Vetterli played a custom G5000 & a USA '88 Hamer Chaparral which I also wouldn't mind owning. He is one of my favorite players. Anyway just curious.

I traded in my 1990 Gibson, Les Paul 1960 reissue plus $1500 for a 1995 Pearl master customs MMX drum set. A super fine. decision. The classic was a good guitar. The neck was very thin. Sounded pretty good and not too heavy. I have bought and sold three less calls since then. Thanks to Trogley,I’ve purchased a 1989 custom shop les Paul Special, in TV White finish. It is 7 pounds. A absolutely fantastic guitar that I will never park with. I would’ve never known about the good wood era Of Gibson if it wasn’t for Trogley.thanks man.

Yeah thats some really really rough workmanship on the tuners... i hope he got a good really good deal on that guitar since the head is essentially ruined without massive amounts of work and probably losing the serial number to refinish it.. it looks like a 3rd grader screwed those tuners down. I mean if it was a cheaper lp and its going to just be played/abused then he got a good guitar but ugh "we got a working set of tuners on it right now" doesnt invoke a tone of confidence.. i personally could be able to live with it knowing someone reamed a crooked 2nd hole but the crooked tuners cuz they screwed it down with their eyes closed is a bit much. Not to mention miss matched pickups it just doesnt give a lot of confidence, like i said hope he got a really good deal on it
