Today we are talking about the first time Gibson Nashville tried its best to create a '59 reissue. Despite their best efforts, these guitars aren't very good by "todays" reissue-standards, but they were a drastic change from the current lineup Les Paul Standard of the era. This was a great "step forward" that changed the history of the company and eventually birthed the "Les Paul Reissue" in the prehistoric era starting in 1983*
Today, you buy one of these quirky guitars for their cool look and vintage status - not necessarily because they are "accurate."

Those pups sounded fantastic. Great clarity for the cleans & that sweet, all too-familiar growl that you want from the dirt. Perfect!

@jimandrison9400 Год назад

What is the most accurate Gibson 59 reissue? Can we get a video of a side by side comparison of the accurate reissue with an actual 59?

@toddflowers8052 Год назад

The problem is they are all different (OG's) The tops were hand carved and the necks are all different because they are hand shaped and sanded ....hence many variables.

@Squall6575 Год назад

If you want an accurate construction, look at a japanese brand. The custom shop tokai (tokai ls200 and above models), Navigator or Crews will be constructed to the exact right specs, if you go high end enough, you get the exact same woods like Brazilian rosewood and Honduran mahogany. You wont get that through gibson. However, depending on the brand, you may need to replace pickups as the originals are ok but not great, same as gibsons

@Icantdrive55 9 месяцев назад

That really is a great example, it sounds really good for 70’s and 80’s Rock. Best sounding LP I’ve seen on your show for a while.

@jonathanhudak2059 Год назад

That's a great looking Les Paul and in amazing condition for its age! Nice score Trogly.

@Kahuna54 Год назад

As always, I learn something new from Austin with each episode! Thanks for what you do!🙏

@guitartech-uk Год назад

Hi Trogly, I purchased my heritage 80 new in January 1981 from Selmers in London, I never saw another one in a shop, unfortunately I part exchanged a White 61 SG Special that was a really great guitar, but for years I had wanted a Les Paul, silly me. I remember reading in a music mag at the time (possibly International Musician or Guitar Mag) that the reason the body size is different because Gibson took the measurements from a 1953 Custom Les Paul not a 1959 burst, this also made the horn slightly thinner because the 53 Custom had the thicker binding that changes the shape slightly on Customs horns (not quite so rounded) I can't remember the writer but it makes sense to me how the mistake could have been made.

@avivpinto4013 Год назад

The elites measured 436mm by the way...

@engelsjn Год назад

My favorite type of episodes. Love the 70’s and 80’s les Paul’s 👍

@davidrees1840 Год назад

I have one and love it. Thanks for explaining the sig inside the cavity -mine is "star FL" without the +😢. The wiring is not 50s, but is very easy to mod without changing anything but solder points. Thanks Austin!

@joellemaster998 Год назад

these heritage 80s standards were good enough for mark knopfler and neil schon. i have loved many of these guitars that ive heard,and to my ears they can hang with the modern historics!

@avivpinto4013 Год назад

Along side with dave murray, Adrian vandenberg, Paul Stanley , john Denver ( which rarely used electrics used a heritage 80 standard) and many more...

@larryc835 Год назад

I would imagine Johnny Winter, Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson used these.💯🔥

@kennygardner5041 Год назад

I had one and LOVED it. The Standard had a three piece neck but mine was so well bookmatched you had to look to find the seams. The Shawbucker bridge pickup was awesome! I got the guitar used. The beck pickup was sent to Duncan and was “ Seymourized”. This was when Seymour was not making pickups for sale but would rewind yours to what you wanted. Great guitar!

@Johnsormani 5 месяцев назад

I own a very clean honey burst 80s standard and it's the favorite les paul I own. The pickups are awesome and it looks great as well

@WilliamHaisch Год назад

Thank you Randy Leonard for sharing his experience and insight! Thank you Trogly for documenting Gibson guitar history!

@FangPaw Год назад

Fun facts (which may or may not be true) - the Heritage 80 series were made with the last of the Gibson's wood stocks from the 50's; and Elite 1-piece neck was made from quarter-sawn timber. Also, the control covers were brown plastic, not black.

@derekh3126 Год назад

Wow! That is a birth year and day les Paul for me. Couldn’t afford but that would be a unicorn for me for sure. I can at least watch this video and know it exists.

@dboone7670 Год назад

I've never cared for heritage cherry burst or flame tops, but there's something about this one that is very appealing. I think it sounds great, too. I was thinking "Damn. This one even sounds better than a lot of the LPs Trogly shows off." I chuckled when he mentioned the pots and how the guitar sounds off to him. Different strokes

@rindred Год назад

I gotta say those Tim Shaw's have "that" Les Paul sound. It sounds exactly like what an LP on a 60s/70s rock record did; balanced (with a little work), clear, smooth, with all the best mids. I can see why someone would want one (separate from that awesome top).

@scottnathanphoto 11 месяцев назад

I own a Heritage 80 and respectfully disagree. They're nice and sparkly clean, but no balls in the crunch department.

@DrkStar47 Год назад

What a gorgeous well kept well played guitar. The Shaw PAFs sounded really good to me, though I’m sure better pots would make them monster. I appreciated a little “Blackdog” in the demo too. Thanks for the great info Trogly.

@criskatan Год назад

This is the best so far, as far as the sound, that I've heard from any of your reviews.

@WilliamHaisch Год назад

17:53 I think the buttery smooth neck pickup sound could be attributed to moving the pickup further away from the strings. I love that butter tone and I set my Strat pickups flush with the pick guard and my humbuckers almost flush with the pickup mounting rings.

@karlmeredith5134 Год назад

I have a Tobacco burst Standard. However this is an extremely rare standard as it has a one piece neck and not a three piece. The reason being I can only assume they ran out of three piece necks so had to use ones made for the Elites. I love it. They didn't do too bad of an attempt at a true '59 apart from using three piece necks and the sharp cutaway. mine does weigh a tonne though, over 10lbs

@glaucosouza1971 Год назад

It seems that the current iteration of the 59' reissue is one of the best ever, if not the best.

@avivpinto4013 Год назад

they were the limited edition guitars of the era...apx 1500 made..kind a like a custom shop of the day. Perfect top carve, best woods gibson had at the time ..the tim shaws were designed for these reissues...the ones in this video are the real shaws ( the two row screws are not shaws) Great guitars!!! the Headstock angle is 17 degrees which was a unique feature back in the day . the goldtops are the rarest as only a handful of them were made. In my ears they sound better than the reissues Cheers

@paulrogers6037 Год назад

I was in a band with a guy that had a "Kalamazoo" engraved truss rod cover, that came new with that. Not "KM," but "Kalamazoo." Always wondered what was special about that model.

Trogly mentions multiple times his favorite Gibson knob are these UFO style. I personally prefer the gold speed knobs on most of my Gibsons. My favorite tuners are the Grover Rotomatics with kidney beans . I really don’t care for the Klusons. Different strokes but the period I came up in. 15:30

@gitarbrettet Год назад

To me the top carve is one of the most important design features of a Les Paul. So important in fact that the "wrong" carve on my 76 custom bugged me so much that I had to take an angle grinder with a flap disc and make my own top carve :P A lot of work but it turned out pretty good! Probably devalued the guitar a bit, but it was a players grade guitar and it is my work horse, NOT a collectors item :)

@RokDAWG1 Год назад

I'd love to know if this model or something like this was used by Paul Stanley on the Hot in the Shade Tour. He had a few of these he'd play on that tour. They all had gorgeous tops.

@joermnyc Год назад

I know purists will say “It must have a 1 piece neck! (Technically 3 because of the headstock wings)” But, a multi piece neck should have more stability in the long run since it’s got more structure to it. Plus you can get some fun wood grain mixed in, my SE Custom 24 has a crazy flame maple center on the 3 piece neck! Edit: 300k pots worked for me on a guitar that had coil splits, really evened out the massive volume drop between hum and single.

@itachisenpai6636 9 месяцев назад

héritage 80 standard are made 1100 guitars........plane top. héritage 80 élite are made only 300 worldwide........hand curved top these are one of the best ever made gibson guitars. super collectables. the mojo is unique on these

@NinerFourWhiskey Год назад

The original vintage 1959-1960 bursts had 500k/500k pots. The lower ohm (300k/100k) were a response to the mahogany getting heavier and denser over the years, and the switch to alnicoV and ceramic magnet pickups, which makes them overly bright. The lower ohm pots make the guitar darker.

@clarkbabin9799 Год назад

As far as the tops I like a good flame top but a quilt top especially the one you compared the feature guitar to has that gorgeous top the dances and mesmerizes. Both are beautiful guitars. And I wouldn't mind owning one or both. They would definitely be played. I've bought a few guitars from C&M back in the day that thought me to really examine the axes. They tended to have handling damage. Some which was really bad. Those tuners look more like milk kettles to me rather than milk bottles. I love that warm sound those pickups create . It's full but not so think that it sounds muddy. I saw where one guy on a forum said that Les Pauls no matter what model aren't good for playing metal. I don't know what rock he'd been having his head under but this guitar and bands at least as early as Led Zeppelin to bands that have stood the test of time like Metallica have proved how wrong that guy was.

@bucknasty69 8 месяцев назад

I love the “you can’t play x genre of music with y guitar” debate. It really doesn’t matter. Some may be more ideal for certain genres, but at the end of the day, they’re all electric guitars, and they all work the same.

@clarkbabin9799 8 месяцев назад

@@bucknasty69 yes . I've heard to many Gen z hate on bands like the Beatle a ND Zeppelin saying neither have contributed to today's music. And how they think what is now being called pinch harmonics is new to their generation. Then I ruin their day and give them examples of bands who have credited bands like Beatles and Zeppelin as main influences. Many of which they love. And I further go on to teach them of bands that had been doing pinch harmonics before it was called that.

I bought two of these new in '81. One goldtop. One black. I sadly let the black one go, but am told it's in the custody of one James Iha. I don't play it much, as the Shaws have no balls and the frets are too flat. It's too rare to mod, so it mostly sits for now.

@ChrisShortyAllen 5 месяцев назад

@alexguitar841 Год назад

My only gripe with these guitars is that they used 300k pots if i remember correctly which gave them a dark, kinda "muddy" sound. Definitely not a tele on steroids tone. I might be mistaken though, its been quite a ling time since i got to play one of those.

@avivpinto4013 Год назад

Easy change to 500k delivers that burst tone in spades...i have one

@noahtrock Год назад

Whoa! NOW I understand why everyone tries to duplicate Tim Shaw sound! Now that I've heard it, I can't unhear it. Yes, the pots do make them sound choked. Easy swap.
