@dereklong801

@LLOYDJARED BACANI Les Paul experimented with solid body designs before 1950, but it was not the "Les Paul." Fender released the Esquire and Broadcaster in 1950. Gibson responded by bringing in Les Paul as a consultant and released the Gibson Les Paul in 1951 and 1952. So yes, Fender was first.

@seashorerumble1380

3 жыл бұрын

@LLOYDJARED BACANI it is common knowledge that lots of people were experimenting with solid bodies, Leo Fender WAS however the first who got it right and made it commercially viable. In the same way he acquired the projects of an electric bass prototype that dated the 1920's (circa) , only he was able to perfect them and make the precision bass, which is for this reason considered the first electric bass

"If you don't know what you're doing, you can buy a 1969 Les Paul, and think you bought a 1962 Les Paul". You'd have to *really* not know what you were doing, because the only "Les Paul" guitars in 1962 had the SG body shape.

Good move on the guitarist's part. Unless it's destroyed, NEVER part with a vintage Les Paul for less than a brand new one goes for. If he put it up, he could easily get $5000 for it just on his name/history alone and where it's been. So, VERY smart move to walk away with the Les Paul in hand.

And upon further inspection and investigating the serial number it turned out it was a 2003 guitar not a 2010. And also the model it was only made in 2003 and 2004.

Wow. Absolutely amazed. Rick offered him $500 more than I thought he would. Unless when the seller said he was going to keep it, Rick thought he would see if he really wanted to keep it. One thing is certain. Rick would never offer the $3000 that the evaluator priced it for.

Gotta say the owner took that pretty well. And absolutely made the right decision not to sell it for a few grand. Why sell a great 70's LP for less than a not-that-great new one costs?

He claimed to have toured WITH those bands, never said he was a member.

Wow the feeling that I got knowing that I own something featured in this show!! Mines is a 1980's Les Paul! Was passed on to me from another family member who used to play back when I was 8!

If history channel made a pawn stars spinoff that just focused on guitars I'd watch

Rick: Lemme call a buddy of mine, he knows everything there is to know about these types of guitars, he used to tour with bands like Toto, he can tell us exactly what it is and what it's worth. *Sellers phone rings*

"I think I'll keep it" = "I'll sell it on Reverb for $30K"..

Well I'll say one thing he's kept in pretty good shape for how old he is especially being an old rocker from the 70s

Or 2K, I would have kept the guitar as well for the sentimental value alone. Not to mention it may go up significantly in time, like the 1959 model did.

Glad to see the guy walk away with the guitar at the end.

I’m no expert but as soon as I saw the 2 piece body and the bump on the headstock I even knew it was a 70’s model

As soon as I saw that pancake body it was so obvious it’s a Norlin era. How did this dude play it all that time and not even know?

Факт: Les Paul не изобретал гитару, ему дали на пробу уже готовую гитару на фабрике. Les Paul сделали инженеры фабрики.

Triumph was a great band. I had their first album in my collection back in the 70s.

The seller worked on my D 28 when I dropped it broke it at the heal, did a great job

I wouldn't call Toto "hair medal" Rick. Take it to people who know what they're talking about.

That big smile on rick's face when jessie said the bad news lol

The witch hat knobs were also a pretty big giveaway. Granted, those could have been replaced, but they didn't start making those until '68 I think.

I owned a '69 Les Paul Cusom bought brand new from Chuck Levin's Washington Music in Wheaton, Maryland. It was a beautiful guitar to say the least. The price was around $400. It did have a pretty thick neck and weighed quite a bit. Sold it in 1975.

That is one lovely guitar. I love LP customs. The guitarist still looks great.

In recent years when Triumph reunited for a few shows Dave Dunlap joined them as a backup guitarist to Rik Emmett.

It’s worth more than $3k the way it sits. I’ve been trying to buy a Black Beauty for years. Even the worn mid-70’s are close to $5k and more. He was smart in keeping it, you don’t get wear like that if the guitar sounded awful or wasn’t comfortable.

I knew the Les Paul was a Norlin era 70's guitar as soon as I seen the crack in the pancake body. That guy must have been bummed out all the way home.

Immediately called it. I've had my 74' custom for over 35 years :)

I think Rod operated on my Les Paul many years ago.

After watching this, i think i`ll hang on to my 1948 Les Paul Custom!! LOL

That bc rich warbeast is beautiful, i knew it after i saw a fender headstock from the 40s 😍

Fascinating to hear him discuss the Paula.

can see that pancake " mid 70s" body a mile away and I haven't even gotten to the appraiser yet

This was a set up....he is actually Jessie’s best freind

I agree I saw him at Tarrant county convention center in 1978 the super bowl of rock and roll in October sponsored by q102 in Dallas Texas man I was so high but they put on an excellent show

1:27 “It could be worth thousands and thousands of dollars.” Unlike the dried up firewood behind Rick.

would be very tough to confuse a 69 les paul for a 62 les paul considering a 62 is a SG.

I recently found out my black 77 les paul was a Les Paul Pro and Not a Standard like I thought. I had the same feeling someone would when they found out they were adopted when someone pointed it out! You could see where the PAF's were routed out to accommodate the humbuckers which is something they did often back then. Ebony fret board should have tipped me off but...

Rick, we were there.😂 Didn’t quite extend into hair metal. Triumph, rock and roll. Toto, pop. But it’s all good. After all, the goal was to have a spotty memory. So by 1990 we had achieved our goal in life. Rock on, brother.

There's a lot of guitar experts giving some (extremely valid, I'll admit) criticism here, but this is Pawn Stars - it's a show aimed at people who may not know anything about certain things, but something about other things, that's what's fun about it. It's an entertainment program. I know a reasonable amount about guitars, and I could tell right off the bat that this was never gonna be a 1960 Les Paul -- the guitar just screams 70's. But show me some American coin from 1871 that's supposed to be super rare and I've got absolutely no idea what to look for to tell whether it's worth ten dollars or ten thousand.

As soon as he pulled it out the case I knew it was a pancake body 70s custom.

I have a 1974 Les Paul Custom, and my immediate thought was 'that looks like 1970s to me'. Definitely not 1974 though.

"In this shape..." lmfao

I think that they should call Austin from Trogly's guitar show

It’s pretty amazing that in all the time he had it, around all of the guitar experts, players, and techs that he was around in those years, that nobody told him that his guitar was a 1970’s. Two piece body is a very basic dating giveaway. I’m not buying that he didn’t know.

He kept it! Just remember the "made in USA stamp began in 1970". Still a beauty.

I think I’m going to keep it Translation: Let’s see if another pawn shop won’t catch it isn’t a 1960

Anybody who knows les Paul's knows that the 2 piece body was used in the norlin era, not in 1960

My first teacher had a 74 black lo custom , I spent more time drooling over the guitar than listening to my lesson !

1:15 Jimmy page and Eric Clapton use Les Paul guitars. I’m well aware that Eric did. He also used an SG. But everyone associates Clapton with a Strat. I’d have rattled off Jimmy page, joe Perry, Slash.
