Had you heard of the "25" before today? 🟢My Website: www.troglysguitarshow.com 🔴Reverb: reverb.com/shop/troglys?_aid=growsumo&gs_partner=Trogly ❓Private Help Sessions: troglysguitarshow.com/help-appraisals/

Honestly Austin that Les Paul is absolutely amazing. That cross hatched tight striped flame is stunning. In my 25 + years collecting, researching and selling guitars I've never seen a flame like that. If ever there was a guitar to keep this would be it.

This is a keeper for the museum. It is such a unique instrument that you have to hold this until you find a better one.

That flame headstock is too awsome. All Pauls should have that. Very Beautiful!!! The Rootbeer Brown one is just like my old 78 Custom

I’m not kidding, that may be one of the best sounding guitars I’ve ever heard. I’ve heard thousands and thousands of guitars on KZfaq but this one stands out.

You would be CRAZY not to keep that for the museum! That guitar is extra special!

Unbelievably beautiful...the flame top and headstock are insane. Congrats dude !

That one for sure needs to stay in your museum, if not for the look of it, but also because you like the tones so much. Sellers regret should you sell...

That sounds incredible. This is one of those guitars that just have it. That special something that makes it great. It's one of those that people spend years trying to replicate the sound. Great find

You should keep a suction cup around. Great way to get toggle switch cavity covers and even backplates off on tighter fitting examples

2007 was a good year for obscure models I guess. It took me ages to find the right catalogue containing a guitar I've owned since about 2009. Ibanez only made that guitar in 2007 and immediately stopped making the whole line.

Wallmart

03:48 That Spotlight Flame may have been a nod to the Les Paul log.

I hardly ever like split tones, but this guitar impressed me.

That 'lose yourself' riff i thought you're gonna be spitting some of mom's spaghetti.

Beautiful figured woods on that example. (I do like the "Cherry Burst" over the other versions. Sharp!) Love that "Burst" headstock too. It doesn't need anything "extra".

That is the best sounding Gibson Les Paul, ever!

Howdy all

Can not wait to visit the museum

That needs to be one of your examples, for museum, don't sell it , those are the types you need.

Hot sauce and green scouring pad works very well on brass. It is an old Marine Corps trick. Semper Fi to all my Devil Dogs. It also spices up your playing.

Z is for retired. I like the finish. The TP6 is awesome. Chloe loves the neck and head stock the most.

Nice video!! The little nuggets of info like the humidifier pointer are super interesting and I never even knew there were different types of humidifiers. I still think a separate video on how to properly store your guitars would be a good idea!!

That 25 is too over-the-top for my taste, but holy cow, that 25/50 you pulled out is absolutely STUNNING!

this guitar isn't for me-- it's TOO gorgeous and TOO nice for lil ol me. amazing.

That is a great sounding guitar! I have always believed that a brass nut really added something to the tone profile of a guitar

At first glance what stands out is the pickup rings and pickguard. And I also like how they matched the headstock to the body. It would've blew me away if you started rapping on that first song. Until this video the best sounding Les Paul I'd heard in some time was my greenburst I recently purchased. I have to dial back the Seymour Duncan 59s in it to not overdrive my clean setting on my Spark bias. I noticed something to. The dot inlays are all that silver color except the one on the same side of the side markers. Those are a greenish brown color.

I love that 2550 you're holding.. I just left another comment saying if they did that Les Paul 25 in tobacco Burst or vintage burst it would be even cooler. LOL

Not a fan of the look but man that tone is the bees knees!

Can you at some point if you are able to do a video on the Fender Coronado. I saw in another forum that there is such a thing and I'm not familiar in the least with it. Way back when I was younger I'd seen a brand named Coronado but they were like a chessman. Not a brand as familiar to people who knew Gibson or Fender. But they had their own take on several models but nothing to go to court on.

Very pretty LP 25 'Reissue', sounds great crunchy! I like those nice long individual pickup leads in this for wiring mods. The typical Gibson pickup 4 leads with MOLEX connectors have tiny 1/2" short wires. If you remove the MOLEX plug to solder the leads you have to strip the labels off the lead bundle to expose more wire which is really annoying and diminishes the pickup value even more than being stuck with a MOLEX plug.

At first I was like "Nah, that thing looks just too ridiculous" but once you started to play it I was in love.

"This maybe the best Les Paul I've played in years."!!

I have a 2007 Gibson Les Paul Super Custom and Gibson have advised me that only 14 were made in 2007. I’m in Glasgow and a Gibson rep visiting Guitar Guitar in Glasgow appraised it last year saying it’s probably the only one in Europe from 2007. He said he’d worked for Gibson for 20 years but had never seen one in the flesh. He said when they were sold new the cost was 9 or 10 times that of an ordinary Les Paul Custom.

Oh this one is amazing.. the execution on this one to me is way nicer than the.. Les Paul with the sprayed over flame maple pickguard and pick up rings. This is one of the coolest guitars I think I've ever seen it would be really cool if they did this in a transparent black triple flame top and appointments or better yet a tobacco or vintage burst.. that would be a dream guitar of mine

OMG, it's more 70s than the 70s! It wouldn't be first on the list if I could have my choice of any LP but it's absolutely gorgeous and I love it

Wow I’m stunned 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Best Demo Ever 🎊

I use a product called Gorgamyte. It kind of feels like cloth, but I believe it's made from paper. Smells amazing. Like coconut. But it works really REALLY well for so many guitar needs. Polishing frets. Fretboards. Polishing your guitar. Cleaning tuners, bigsby, you name it. It's out of production right now, but my favorite shop carries a different version. If you'd like, I'd be happy to send you some.

That there is definitely something worth holding onto. An ultra-nice guitar that actually lives up to and surpasses its pedigree. Congratulations to you!

My guitar teacher had one of these that he loved. He played it daily, it was his holy grail, can't recall if it was his 25 or another Les Paul he had that was signed by Les on the headstock

If they had made the whole body out of that beautiful curly maple instead of just the top & and neck and burst everything, it would be my ideal guitar. I would also simply do away with the poker chip since it doesn't really match the rest of the top.

Now that is a show room guitar

The mini toggle switches tend to be a more delicate switch as compared to the push-pull style used on the pots. In any case, if you own a guitar with either style, get yourself 1 or 2 spares.

The House That Never Sleeps uses Happich Simichrome Polish to polish pretty much everything on high end Martins. And suction cups are a good way to remove stubborn back covers.

Someone should put another pickguard on that to protect the flame maple picguard.

Woot woot Trogly's guitars 🎸

WOW THAT IS BEAUTIFUL !!!!

"Woop-e-woo" Trogly, I love your slang. don't ever change. LOL

There are special polishing clothes for jewelry, which is gold plated. Maybe try one of these on a spare part.

That is one fine looking LP.

2 things Gibson should've done: add a medallion on the back like with most Customs and painted the guitar with the pup rings on. That way the neck pup gets part of that burst fading into red.

they shoulda/coulda bursted the pick guard .. to blend in.

Use jewellers cloth for cleaning fingerprints and very light scratches from metal parts, it won't eat thru' plating.

That flame maple pickguard gives this Heritage Guitars vibes.

I'm not much on a split humbucker if it gets too weak, but daaaamn that's a nice piece.

The addition of the brass nut brings the raunchy to the tones.

21:45 Who Was in My room Last Night.. classic! Nice guitar though..

You've probably answered this before, but what in the world do you use to polish your guitars? The results are stunning. Would love to see you take one from before to after showing the technique, materials and time to restore the finish.

Should have a flame maple truss rod cover. It would take weight off, too.

Gorgeous guitar"s Austin just beautiful Thank you

Greetings Trog...There's actually a VERY good reason that pick guard is stained/finished equally front and back. As thin as that piece of wood is...if it is not finished equally front and back (same finish, same number of coats - applied at the same time...) the wood will eventually warp.

I was really surprised by the sound!

Wow that’s SIIIIIICK a maple pickguard !! That’s awesome the TPS is awesome too !!! Wow!!

Beautiful guitar and sounds great too. Nice 'oh well ' Trog!

Austin, about cleaning your Gold hardware: i always use WD-40. Not joking. That thing makes wonders. But be careful tho.

A lot of commenters here seem particularly awestruck by the tonality of this specific guitar, it certainly looks the part of a wall hanger keeper for the museum, no doubt. But personally for me, I keep going back to hear more of those over the top metal tones of that black widow Les Paul with the purple binding that Troggly had recently featured here, that had been modified with updated active EMG pickups, I’ve shown that video to a few people and my buddies at the jam spot. I’ve long been exclusively a Fender hardtail Strat-Charvel based player who has slowly developed a unique hit or miss deranged improvisational guitar fusion style, over the course of 35 years of intently focused guitar noodling, mostly alone in isolation to impress myself while escaping severe chronic pain and the rigors of existence. Forgetting much of what I’ve relearned experiencing those 10-12 hour long marathon practice escapist sessions, until it comes rushing back to me, as I ride the coat tails of two astounding drummers that play synchronized, unfortunately my level of self confidence revolves in steep cycles. I have a reputation for revealing my genius and shortcomings all at once, being prone to either failing spectacularly in public and underwhelming the entire audience, appearing rusty in dribbling the ball off my foot out of bounds, while committing a series of technical fouls, at risk of ejection, or else if I’m warmed up and felling comfortable as all the vibes are realigning, I’m apt to go from under achieving and shooting a pathetic 5% point range from the field, to getting in my bag and suddenly overachieving in a red hot streak, shooting at a 95% from the field and just nailing my trick shots from the floor, hogging the ball jacking up like Iverson and SRV, turning on a dime, while driving the band like a Ferrari shifting through the gears of musical styles and genres with gated manual shifter, 7/8 time, operating between the silences, double time, astenado, 3/4 time, tempo change, building up tension, explosion, cut time, sending it backwards, inside out, hooks alluding to the change, scribbling all over the meter, grabbing the best, the editing out the rest reaching in real time, spreading my wings, in appearing to levitate right up off the stage, and nailing a 720 McTwist Tony Hawk move, right into a new move impossible to ever again recreate, subtle interjections projecting the rhythms out 30 seconds ahead, intensely listening for the best possible resolutions, forgetting to breathe, all while hunched over, escaping actuality, playing seated in a chair in some room, back on earth? Forgive the metaphor but, it’s like making love you could hit a grand slam out of the park every time your at the plate or you could lose it in 2 minutes, the trick is to not let the low or high points get all into your head, where it carries over to the next sessions, or you’ll find yourself walking around like some egomaniacal champion, or alternatively a depressed bum…LoL! I digress. My heavy metal playing style has long since mellowed out over the decades, and yet I fall back into it here and there. So now Troggly has me looking up modern access heel carved Les Pauls after being mesmerized with the heavy metal Les Paul active EMG tones…LoL…xD

Gorgeous!

Ever tried Brasso? for the brass nut etc?

I definitely have a LP I’ve been scratching my head with. I’ve found one that is close and probably the same, but the one I found is a retailer exclusive from over seas.

The pickguard is cool but I think a pearloid white would look better.

Keep it, Trogley!

Appreciate the way you demonstrate the times of the guitar

Love it!! Should have shaded the pick guard with some red to blend with the body! Beautiful! Loving it!

The vintage OGs are much cooler, but it’s interesting because I never knew they did a kind-of ‘reissue’ of these.

Mother's non-abrasive metal polish. I used to use it on band instruments. It won't remove any material but will lift any grime out of the metal. Won't take the lacquer off of them either.

NICE!!! This is one of the nicest looking guitars that you've documented because of the body, pick guard and headstock matching so beautifully. The sound is also one of my favorite demo/jam sessions at the end as well. It seemed to bring up some incredible sounds and added something spacial to your playing. I'm new to your channel so the more episodes I watch the more I want to explore on the channel. I can't wait to see whats next. 🤘😁👍

Love those flame pickguards!! Cool! Side note…anybody else getting annoyed with every KZfaqr being sponsored by Established Titles?? Like I’m glad Austin is getting funding but…man this sponsor just seems weird to me 🧐

Gibson made many models as "Limited" numbered editions during the 2000s and claimed to make "Only" 100 of certain runs like the 2003 Allen Collins Tribute 1958 Korina Explorer but many claim they have never seen pictures of any made after number 40. I think it was like Trogly said........ they made them as orders came in and once they stopped selling they simply quit making them even if they didn't reach 100 made. The last Allen Collins Tribute I seen sold for more than $25,000.00 so they are very hard to find meaning I don't think many were made atleast not 100 of them. I don't think we will ever know unlike some models like the Ace Frehley Gibson limited edition signature Les Pauls that have dedicated websites with almost every single guitar sold fully documented with multiple pictures. Nowadays we know that Gibson isn't hurting for money as the make guitars for 50K or the Korina Reissues starting at 10K.

Don’t really care about the guitars, I’m waiting for the Trogly Thesaurus and Trogly Dictionary. Keep up the great vids man🤣

That is I think my favorite looking and sounding Les Paul I've ever seen. The brass nut and flame everwhere is just SICK! And that sound and tone was awesome. Perfect piece!!!!!

Guitar that sounds that good needs to be a player you might need to put that next to the amp and jam out on it everyday

Trogly is such a treasure.

Polish the humbuckers with same fine polish that you would use on the body.

That would not leave my collection if I found one. Hint, hint Trogly. I'd hold onto that one. For a long time. It can only gain stupid levels of value in the future.

I love the sound of both pickups. Very sweet guitar.

Pin stripe 🤮 really wish these customs got the historic specs, otherwise very cool and fancy

I would keep it, it's so nice, it's cool to know, that Gibson has, and can make badass and beautiful.

Beautiful guitar!

When a pickguard has better flame than the top itself.... Edit: Holy smokes, that Les Paul sounds glorious.

I had some inheritance once and almost bought a Desert burst Les Paul Supreme but I decided against it and got a 2011 Desert burst Traditional instead.

IMO the screws in the pick ups looked to be gold originally. At least in the video. There is a gold color in the slotted heads

Serious eye candy here. Poker chip comments make sense - ambered maple seems worth trying 😋

That tone is amazing

Wonderful guitar. An Instrument for players, not for collectors...

White Vinegar on a napkin works good for cleaning gold plate.

I love that headstock, it got some vibes i can't explain. It really sounds so good. Maybe because of it's a maple neck in combination with brass nut. Maybe it's the body's wood, or maybe it's the weight? Who knows? But I love it 😍

Looks fantastic, but sounds majestic. One of the best you've demoed for a while.

Salutations Austin! Absolutely beautiful Les Paul! Is looks great and it sounds great too. I have an Epiphone 1960 Tribute Les Paul that has the same pickups and individual coil splits via push pull pots, and it sounds virtually identical, however it is not chambered and does not have a brass nut either. I really like the wood pickup rings and the flame maple 🍁 pick guard as well as the headstock. If you ever want to get rid of this guitar, please let me know, however, it will likely be quite a while before you find one in better shape and also a different, and more preferable color option, though. Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

Sounded like you played the Honey Roll riff by AC/DC
