So amazing, Thank You. I've been researching the secrets of the Gibson Les Paul since I purchased my first one back in 1978. Every detail in this video is spot-on accurate with everything I've found over the past 45 years. This is possibly the very first video I've ever seen that covers every important design detail of this Historic instrument. Again, Thank You Sir.

I am making my clones 59 LesPaul, but not to order, but as art projects. This takes much more time, since I select the blanks at the sound intervals and often not all of them fit together. So for now, we select the wood and make the parts so that later there would be more options for the selection. I make LesPools from start to finish, completely according to my preferences and in accordance with the concept of each project. It is up to me to decide what color and degree of aging each guitar will have. Finished projects will be sold through my KZfaq channel at impromptu auctions.

Great video. When I was a kid in the 70s, my older brother had a friend who bought a 53 Gold Top for $500. This was my first experience with a Les Paul. That was in 1975 and many guitars ago. I had a Carvin DC150 in the 80s that had a Les Paul feel. But the one guitar I miss the most is a 1988 Hamer Chaparral Custom. It wasn't until 2015 when I came across a like new 2005 Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded T series. I hadn't been paying attention to Les Pauls, but I knew as soon as I picked this one up that there was something special about it. After doing some research, I discovered that it has a mohagany top instead of maple. It may not be a 59 Standard, but for $599 with a hardshell case, it was a good deal. It's like a Standard without the bling. Thank you for making such a comprehensive video on such a legendary guitar. And, just as luck would have it, I left NY 14 years ago and ended up in Waukesha, Wisconsin, the birth place of Les Paul.

I think the most interesting thing I heard in this was his thoughts on the best metal for tailpiece, one would think a dense "resonant" metal would of course be best but the point he makes about those metals vibrating and thus cancelling certain frequencies makes a lot of sense.

I was inquiring about neck attachment to body (tennon length fitment etc.) The SG (a pique of interest for me) being such a thin guitar neck fitment and tennon length I imagine really come into play here.But lately I've been looking into a Les Paul (they tend to ring better and have a wider frequency response.

Not true, round wound steel strings go back to the 1890's, flatwound strings were introduced in1946. Up until 1965 all guitar string sets, both round and flat wound used a wound 3rd string.

@@kgriff1205 Hey K I was under the impression only flats were made before 65-66, did not know rounds were even available that early. Also you are correct a wound g came with the sets. Many early rockers replaced w/ an unwound G to make bending easier. Cheers

Many thanks for posting your knowledge here. The best Les Paul is my goal too. I have a ‘98 R8 which was great when I got it new. I’ve gigged it loads and added a 6|6 nylon nut. Cts pots. Early 60s caps. Correct grade vintage wiring. Correct material tail piece Bridge and thumb wheel. Lastly, OX4 low wind A4 mag pickups. The guitar is outstanding and impresses me each time I pick it up.

Very well done! The time and effort you've put into all that is the "Golden Years" of the Les Paul is obviously a passion. Would be an honour to own one of your Guitars. Thank You very much for the education on your journey so far. Often wondered if you have had hands on one of the newer Heritage H-150's made in Kalamazoo and how you think they compare with the modern Gibson LP's? Thanks for the video.

I have refinished a lot of poly coated guitars with nitro and it does make quite a difference. At one time I would have argued that it wouldn't matter.

great video - i think the tops were glued with phenol aldehyd ( radio glue ) anyway - very cool information

Everything is correct. We call it phenol-formaldehyde glue. It hardens when heated and turns into stone.

Amazing video. I have learned a lot. Do you have a video that shows how to build one in greater details? I would love to try to build one for my own pleasure.

@@8BombCustom I visited the patreon site. It looks like the Maker level reveals the secret about the process of painting and aging guitars and parts. I am looking into building the guitar: Choosing, cuting and gluing gluing the woods and the parts. Do you have something on that also. It would be everything you cover in this video but in much greater details.

Great video. The other often overlooked difference between vintage kluson tuners and reproductions are the material of the posts. Vintage is nickel plated brass whereas current iterations are steel. It is tonally as critical as the tailpiece material.

Not all vintage Kluson tuners are made of brass. Modern Klusons are very accurately recreated. I have copies of various vintage tuners.

You are partially correct sir, the tuning peg post was made of brass on the very early Tele's, Strats, Rick's and Gibson's, but we're changed to steel in 1956

African mahogany has been found on a 50s goldtop, can't be the only one that's impossible as it's a factory, Clive Brown refinished it, he knows what he's talking about too
