Randy immediately came to mind. Somehow you made it through the entire episode without a mention. I would have played Diary of a Madman, Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, Believer and that's it for the demo portion. Only Randy, forever.

It's a truly amazing playing and sounding instrument. Your video on that weird bridge educated me on what my 335 had on it (great info!)

7:06 has to be my favorite play demo you've ever done. Sounds great too.

Best demo ever. Lovin' the Kiss and Thin Lizzy. Been listening to both this week.

Glad to see you doing the sound demo, respectfully wasn't a fan of te other guy. I didn't want to complain, you're a busy guy and any help is appreciated I'm sure.

im so glad to see you doing the sound demo! no offense to the other guy, i missed watching your playing improve over time, your getting pretty good!

You know what I would absolutely LOVE to watch you review? One of these late 70's Greco EG 600/800 ones. So many people are saying that they can easily compete with the Norlin Les Paul Customs. I own of of these Grecos and l agree. But since you've had so many Gibson ones in your repertoire I thought you should know best. Best wishes from Austria! ✌️

The '78-'84 Greco, Tokai, etc were better than the Gibson's of that era. The Norlin era Gibson's have better pickups & a more traditional nitro finish but the Japan guitars used much better quality wood & had a much higher quality of construction (closer to 50's spec). Buying a good lawsuit era copy & replacing the hardware & in some cases the electronics gets you an instrument on par or better than the custom shop.

Absolutely gorgeous!! Just love a good custom.

My favorite iteration of the Les Paul Custom,a beautiful sounding n playing instrument

Was looking for information on a studio LP I just bought as far as era correct cases go. This helped to some degree.

Oh man, this is one sexy guitar! On DRC part I started headbanging like crazy.

I like the way the color has changed. I thought it was yellow. I usually don’t like yellow but I would rock it.

Omg where do you find these jaw dropping guitars? Reverb? I live paycheck to paycheck so I wouldn't know. Living the dream bro, good for you! 🤘😎🎸

I used to be a security guard I would put les Paul’s through like an airport X-ray that you’d find at say a courthouse. Those work really well if yo know people who do security work

Spectacular example. Amazing.

My first guitar was an LP custom I bought new back in 1982. Mine did not have the "Patent Applied For" stickers on it and none of the LP customs in the shop had them either. FYI.

The only guitar that you have had with the same wow factor was the single pickup goldtop with the es295 pickguard, this custom is a beauty

I absolutely have to say, you have the exact same guitar I have. Same year/ color and everything. Mine has All the same cracks and everything like you pointed out. It’s All original too... Mine is also in mint condition. Not a scratch on it front or back Believe it or not... Had it for 20 plus years now. It Weighs 11.52 lbs. just a killer on your back. But I love it. It sounds amazing... pm me and I’ll send you pics. You won’t believe it.

Kind of reminds me of Rick Beato’s 1990 Les Paul Custom. Both beautiful guitars!

Really liked the demo guy today. ;-)

This one is beyond beautiful!

I have an 83 SG Standard which has a maple three piece neck, top adjust bridge and diamond strap buttons. The bridge in your video is a 3 point adjustable and not a top adjust.The top adjust adjusts the intonation from the top. The Top Adjust design was used towards the end of 1982 and discontinued by the end of 1983. A long time employee designed it for Gibson. I bought an extra one on Reverb as a spare just for the saddles since you can't buy them.

It's funny in 1983 technology was really starting to take off. Beautiful guitar and great playing by the way. I have a 1981 Ibanez Destroyer that I got back in 1983 and I love it. I also have A Schecter E1 standard from now and it plays and looks as good or better than my Destroyer. Anyway great video and such a beautiful Guitar. Thank you.

Got my '82 black LP Custom new, still owe it. It's been played, but still in what I think is pretty good condition.

Great job. I really enjoyed this.

Such a gorgeous guitar

Question: Zakk Wylde´s "Holy Grail" is a 1989 White-now cream-custom. How different are 89s to this 82/83? or are they essentially the same guitar? Thanks.

That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life!

What a beautiful guitar!

Bro this guitar sounds so good

Hey Trogly, I picked up an 82 custom Sunburst not long ago with the self winding tuners. The burst is very dark and unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Would love for you to give me some info on it.

sweet looking. i would like you to do a review if you get the chance, on a Tanglewood Shark guitar, it was a promo for Tamglewood and a limited run of 1000. not many around these days.

Looks like the style Steve Clark played in Def Leppard. 👍Troy Frost

What a fabulous colour.

I’ve got a sunburst Custom stamped 25 April ‘83. (This one comes up as stamped 3 May ‘83.) It has the same features as this - three piece maple neck, three piece top, shallow headstock, no volute…and weighs a tonne. Seems that the first changes were cosmetic and then they ?gradually? made structural and materiel changes as the year progressed. Other than the finish, the big difference between mine and this is that mine has a Kahler. Darn…

My dream guitar right there

in case anyone asks, the Shaw pickups were sold last year ... had them in a box for 20 years.

It’s so great that you are playing the guitars again. That other guy sucked. You are not a fantastic guitar player, but you sound WAY BETTER. And by your demos one can actually say how the instrument sounds

Yep it really is a, Nice sounding, good looking Les Paul.

Great years, probably said it before but some of these have abrs and thin binding. I've got one and it's my favorite player.

My 84 std had those paf stickers. They wore off within a few weeks of playing it.

My favorite Les Paul model and color.....

Aha! So the SG I bought from you DID have a case!! lol... It's good to see you back to doing the sound demo's Mike is good and should be used as a treat once in awhile but we don't call ourselves Mikeodytes now do we?? OMG dude, that is one gorgeous guitar. Ever since I purchased that white studio from you I have found myself more in love with that finish. If there are any inventors in the group I have an idea for something might make someone rich. Come up with something, chemical, light, tool , that can easily lift off the original nitro clear coat on a Gibson without touching, effecting or hurting the original color underneath. I think if something could be had to do this a lot of guitarists would buy it! Yeah yeah "it's got the cool Gibson yellowing going on", pfft poppycock and hogwash!! Remember that new futura flying V thing you ordered in Purple but it looks black, I think those were the two colors anyway? Yeah you wanted a purple guitar and a guy wanting a white guitar wants a white guitar darnit!! Even though I love the white one I got from you Austin I wish it was still white lol. When I took off that God awful black and silver on that SG I bought from you, the one in this video in ITS CASE!! lol, by the time I got to the original white man was it pretty!! I really tried to only take it to that stage but alas I could not so the whole thing was sanded down to bare wood and is now cherry red, per customer request other wise it was going back to white lol. If you can Austin, what was the selling price of this beauty?

I've always thought it's one of those guitars like a V or a Jem, where if someone turns up to a gig with one it's like you immediately think 'you'd better be able to play that fucker' lol.

I remember seeing those three point bridges in advertisements back then and I can't understand why they they never really took off. Same with the harmonica bridge. I've had some guitars that I really wish I had more intonation range on.

I bought my 1982 LPC in Heritage Cherry Sunburst in 1983 for $500 new from a guy who's uncle worked for a distributor and gave it to him. The best thing I ever did was remove and sell those nasty Tim Shaw pickups. I got $450 for them on eBay (2008) and put in '57 Classics. So basically I have a 1982 dream machine for $340 -added a TP-6 and strap locks. (kept the old parts) I LOVE it now. I hated the Shaws, sorry, but it was a one-trick pony that is now a tone-dripping beast. The only problem with these guitars is that the high E string will slip off the edge of the neck if you are mindful. It was my first real Les Paul that I have loved and played for 37 years. The finish is amazingly durable and resilient.

I wish u had a guitar store.

I have an 82 LPC that was originally heritage cherry sunburst but was eventually refinished the off white like the one you have here. Why the refinish? To cover the maple patch for the Kahler trem I stupidly had installed in 89. Mine was made before the weight relief and is almost 12 pounds. Its a load. I have the crank tuners safely in storage. It wears gold Grovers now. I never understood all the rage over Shaws. They always just sounded "meh" to me. I first replaced them with Duncan 59's but have been using a Burstbucker 1 & 2 setup the last 6 years. The BB's sound fantastic and wear the original covers that were on the Shaws. IMHO I thought the T-Top PAFS were a better sounding pickup. I have them in a few guitars. The necks on these are outstanding. The 3 piece maple/no volute setup is ridiculously stable and the Ebony fretboard is gorgeous. The profile is perfect. I've owned it since 86. It was new when purchased from Cintioli's Music in Philly. It sat there for four years because it was so bloody heavy. It's a very special guitar.

I had a 1981 Les Paul Custom black beauty that I bought brand new. It never had the P.A.F stickers and they were Tim Shaw pickups. It had the molded plastic case with red interior. It was in absolutely MINT condition when I sold it in Daytona Florida in 2010. LOOKING FOR THIS GUITAR.. PLEASE HELP

Hi, thx for the informative videos. Question, if you could help me… I bought a Gibson LP custom, ivory, in march 2013 from musicians friend. I want to say that I paid $4k for it but both times I’ve called Gibson they’ve told me that the MSRP for them in 2013 was about $5,700. I don’t remember paying that much… we’re they really $5,700 in Mar 2013!? Thank you

What do you think are better Tim Shaw Pups or T-tops

I've got an 82 standard w thin binding, a nickel plated ant, and mahogany neck. The only problem, it's black not burst.

I don’t know why all companies don’t use the diamond button strap holders. They work so well and don’t cost more. I’m jealous, I have a white 1987 custom but nowhere near as clean as this one.

I have an 84 LP custom in white (now cream) that I bought for $400 in ~1988. I always thought the Shaw pickups were pretty thin and brittle sounding ... I put in Alnico II's around 1990-ish and never looked back. Sustain is 2x better w/ the Duncan pickups.

Detroit Rock City, perfect for this guitar! How much did this Les Paul Custom sell for (original sale page doesn't load from Reverb.com)? Question, Why do the 1985-1986 Les Paul Customs sell for so much more than the 1983-1984 models? I ask because I am trying to get an idea what my 1986 is worth!

I have a 1984 les Paul custom alpine white.

At least from my perspective. it doesn’t have a maple cap it’s all mahogany and it appears to be a sandwich instruction. It’s just not very resonant nor has it ever been. I can tell you that the Ebony fretboard is very nice. I hope is over the next 10 years or so it’ll appreciate in value.
