It’s amazing how much the body shapes changed during the 70s up to the 90s. The cut aways were very different. Some horns were shaper and the cut aways had different angles.

About that Black Beauty you mentioned: Fun Fact, Foo Fighters Chris Shiflett sayd on his Rig Rundown recently, that he had only one Guitar when he joined the Foos and was an 80's Black Beauty. He swapped the Pickups and got rid of the pickgard over the years in No Use for a Name and Foo Fighters, but for his 50th Birthday his bandmate and awesome human being Pat Smear Gave period correct Tim Shaw Pickups for him to put It on again. Now the Guitar is in exposed at the Rock n roll hall of fame in Cleeveland

That is absolutely true. When Rich B. at Leo's was negotiating the Leo's Les Paul he had three guitars with him at the preliminary meeting with Gibson. 1. A current production Les Paul Standard. 2. A 1959 Les Paul Standard 3. A Tokai copy. Rich brought the Tokai to demonstrate that it was actually closer in spec to the '59 than the late 70's production Standard. Cheers!

Incase anyone missed the word at 12:20 it’s “chatoyance/chatoyancy”roughly translated from French means “shine like a cats eyes”. It’s a term used primarily in gemmology and was then used by wood carvers and Luthiers.

Well my 76 les Paul standard from Kalamazoo is kinda a one of a kind guitar in tobacco burst. Burst back and neck little larger headstock. Still looks and plays great. Nfs. Christmas gift from my mom in 76. Retail price I paid new was 576.00. My 81 cherry sunburst burst custom has sunburst back an neck as well. Large headstock with binding. They don't make them like these anymore. It's a darn shame. Both are 10 pound guitars and I love that

The '82 30th Anniversary Les Paul shares many of the same specs. ABR-1 wire wire retainer, slim binding in the cutaway, deep carve, short neck tenon, one-piece body, and Tim Shaw pups. The gold top is 3-piece instead of the 2-piece on these guitars. The inlays are real MOP. Some have 3-piece necks. Mine has a 1-piece neck. I don't recall seeing one reviewed on this channel.

That natural one is gorgeous! Not a fan of the clown burst. If that natural LP weighed 9 pounds instead of 10 pounds I’d like it a lot more. There’s a huge difference in Les Pauls that weigh between a 9 & 10 pounds. . You wouldn’t think 16 oz. would make that much a difference…but it’s a deal breaker for me. That extra pound feels like an extra 10 pounds after 45 minute set.
