Man I can't believe I've just heard of these Tim Shaw PAFS,absolutely incredible dynamics and clarity.

Love it man! So many, if not ALL Norlins on your videos.....and I happen to love Norlins. I especially love the earlier maple necks/big headstocks/volutes. Even though this one is a few years beyond those features, I absolutely love silverburst Customs. Your videos are so much better than looking at random pics, when buying over the internet. Keep em coming!

Haha, yeah, I like the norlin era as well. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you're enjoying!

1:33 I have always described this phenomenon as "It's all in your head, but that's the only place where it matters anyway!"

This is my dream guitar. Silverburst is my favorite finish on these guitars, and I was born in 84. One day I hope to find one. Great video, btw!

"It's a '94". Adam Jones told me himself.

Your videos inspire me to make a video of my 2001 main guitar, a black LPC that is a totally played like hell player's guitar. I always wanted another one, a silverburst! But now that I know they turn green, perhaps not.

Good question. If you are looking to keep it original, you have to weight the cost of fitting the fret exactly behind the nib. If it were my guitar, I would focus more on the shape and smoothness of the fret ends so the neck feels perfect yet broken in. My Ted McCarty model has a bound neck and the frets are shaped perfectly to the top of the binding. By far the best fret job of all of my guitars.

Thanks Trogly!!!! Great Video! I own a 1988 Showcase Edition Silverburst. Maybe one of the best guitars I ever played ..... lemme know if you want any info I'd be glad to share!

Keep nibs, future owner will appreciate the attention to detail. My friends and I used to call these "moonburst" as in the opposite of the usual cherry to yellow being "sunburst".

Really like the PAF covers w/stickers and the machine heads . Unique axe. Liked and shared

Do you have any idea who did the re-fret? I need my 81 standard done.

1:54, Gotta love this part where it shows how a Silverburst ages. This needs to be a gif.

Love the little flip-out tuners. I recently bought a brand new guitar with similar ones (not a Gibson) and while they aren't terribly useful, it's a very cute idea and I really like it. Anyway, beautiful LP in your video and indeed an excellent job by whoever luthier did the refret. Can't even begin to imagine what meticulous work that must have been.

Can a fret level be done on these fretboards and keep the nibs?

I have a tobacco sunburst Jay Turser Les Paul I hot rodded, I like it as much as my Les Pauls or Epiphones, but dont have to worry about wrecking it playing out. They suck stock, but setup properly they play great.

Sometimes having a guitar that you don't have to worry about is the best way! Plus you get bonding points for making it your own!

Damn nice! I have a newer Silverburst and am rather jealous of that finish.

Looks like the Fender Antigua paint to me ,I don't care for either but I do like the tuners !

I had an antigua strat a few years ago. The flip out winding tuners are a really cool feature!

I'd love to be able to play Metal Heavy riffs ; )

What a beauty!!!

I want this.

I thought Adam only had one of these silverburst and a white one for the drop B songs (or whatever lower tuning he's using). Also, these seem like green burst, perhaps the shots were taken with a specific lighting. PS: Oh, I feel stupid. A couple of seconds after I had my answer

I believe he has 3 of them. I know someone in my last video on a Silverburst custom stated what years they were. I think he likes the mahogany necked ones the best. I don't know much about the guy though

Hey. Love your channel. Just wanted to mention if you don’t mind adjusting your white balance to get the best representation of the guitars. Thank you!

That Silverburst finish is really, really handsome. So why do I hate the Silverburst on my Firebird Studio '70s Tribute so damned much? I'll tell you why. It's that goddamned SatinTone finish. It just sucks the life out of that guitar, like a black hole. I've got to do something to get that beast to shine like that Les Paul. It's driving me crazy.

Bill Kelliher has made me G.A.S for one of these so fucking baaad. Silverburst in general has become my favorite finish. This guitar and an actual Gibson custom Silverburst V ala Brent Hinds are my 2 dream guitars.

Unfortunately, I don't know who did this refret work. The son of the guy that owns this shop did incredible work on a spotlight special for me before I bought it. That was just a level/recrown job though... I'm not sure if he does refrets with nib retention randeesmusic.com/

Quick! Call Mastodon!

Nibs be damned. Clean Silverburst Custom. Nice! BTW Adam Jones is wel known for trolling guitar freaks with statements like the one about the SB finish impacting tone.

It adds to the mystery of the finish though! If I had an identical guitar with the same woods and pickups, I would do a comparison video

It really depends on where you go and where you live. Ebony costs more to do than rosewood too

You collect guitars that nobody else wants (much), which is great! There's so much foo-fooism and hallucinatory expectations ANYWAYS... Those fret "nibs" are at the top of the list of vintage features that are ridiculous to "value" because they make the guitar WORSE, but what can you say.... it's like those guitars that don't work because the original solder joints are snorked, but it would devalue the guitar to fix it so that it _worked._ (?) Knock yourself out, or at least knock yourself silly... My (only) fave Les Pauls are the chee-eep, all-mahogany ones anyway, but my favorite guitars of all are the weird ones. EVERYBODY - Guild, Gibson, Fender, everybody popped out at least a few howlers, very weird-but-useful guitars. When I run across something like a "Takamine" electric guitar - a SOLIDBODY, no-piezo Takamine, top-notch fretwork, top-notch parts - my guitar-perv antennae start twitchin.' Who-EVER thought that would be a good idea? To sell to... (?) Just lately I've been goozlied over the BEST S. Korean guitars, like the _self_ branded Samicks and Corts they made when they were done turning out the juiciest Schecters, PRS "SE', high-end Epiphones etc. Basically by the late 90's the Koreans COULD match the Japanese, fret-for-fret quality, when they wanted to, but boy did they come up with some biz- _arre_ feature combinations. And the world is a better place for it.

I'll be your slave ,( will do anything) for the guitar

So basically someone kept this thing for three decades without actually playing it much, so someone else could play it
