????Description: The Gibson Les Paul “Super Standard” was created in 1979, presumably for the 1980 Winter NAMM Show to display potentially new pickups and coil splitting abilities. Strap in as I tell the updated tale of the Super Standard now that she is back in my possession.

I'm looking for a factory one off made by a Gibson employee. It passed around a few hands until I saw it for sale around 2010 at a twin cities trade show in Minnesota. It sold for around 12k and that's where I last heard and saw of it. I got to hold it and play a few chords with the current owner at the time before he sold it and yeah it had a nice slim 60s neck in a light burst slightly faded with a light flame top with nice checkering all over. If anyone ever sees it maybe it could be sent on here to be reviewed. I'd love to see that guitar again
Beautiful!
sounds like a marauder to me!
I would like a 2014 Gibson fire burst lpj. I would pay 1000 for a nice version
Could pickup height pole pieces improve the coil splitting tone? Very thin and glassy, I have epiphone LP custom pro that on front pickup sound's odd
10.7 lb that's a damn monster
, I must comment, that within the last four to six to eight months you play the Les Paul???? that had the absolutely best tone of any that you've ever had on your platform,???????? does anybody remember it? It was one of his grubby your Les Paul's I remember that thing song and had tone
I have seen some phenomenal guitars at Summer NAMM in Nashville. I remember seeing a Les Paul that had an amazing looking dragon carved in RELIEF on the body. It was soooo cool. I have pictures of it somewhere and I’m thinking it was the 1991 Summer NAMM where I saw it.
That’s a beauty.
Dude you are a genius. I'm so glad i found out about your channel through the martin schwartz Epiphone review. I immediately bought one btw
Fran would be a good name for that guitar
Haha. Haven’t heard Ed Roman’s—the original fugazi himself—name in a long time!
Freakin' LOVE that deep mocha burst on the right side!! Would love it more with dark chocolate binding. ????
Instead of leaving a pick guard off get some clear plexiglass and cut one out of that.
This looks like a Less fancy version of "the Les Paul'
'
????
Yo Trog Dawg !!!! Change the pitch back to the original in the intro lol
Looks gorgeous but not very Les Paul like tone. As @Steve.Cutler says, horrible coil tap. The overdrive tone was quite funky, not a go to sound but would work great in a mix.
Cool looking guitar but sounds horrible.
Somehow my comment about the recording at 05:34 in which I spoil the guitar he's talking about got deleted. Guess I need to stay quiet about it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
1979- 82 was also when fender were experimenting with alternate woods, like walnut, on some models, and extended switching, often to make them more "Gibson" like. Gibson may have trying to compete to get thinner , more " Fender" or "Gretsch" tones
Such a beautiful guitar, but it sounds like something isn't quite right with those pickups. Perfect for a collector i guess ????
What’s a jagwire ?
You should’ve tried playing with the volume knobs in addition to the tone knobs: sometimes that can tame the higher frequencies too.
I love the construction of this guitar. If it were mine, I'd find some vintage Bill Lawrence L-500's with the same coil split.
Hell, I'd pull them outta my Aria Violin bass! Put guitar pups into a hollow body bass. I get Fender, Rickenbacker, and Hofner sounds from it.
Short scale, too!
Wow Austin that is some guitar incredible that’s one of my favorite ones out of your collection. Good for you, my friend.
Beautiful guitar but id pull the pick ups out drop in a set of humbuckers
that is a nice looking axe.
That is one sweet looking Les Paul.
TROGG!!
Now that's a Les Paul that's more Les Paul than the average Les Paul!!
Not really liking the tones.I see why you don't really care for them either Austin.Very pretty though.
I would love a good fake with all those features! Doubt you would ever see one that good.
Such a beautiful guitar.I really like the flame maple all around it.Neck and body,and double bound.
WOAH!! A standard with all that! Amazing. Ohh, 1980! You could get amazing all over bursts, but, this has way more!
Gorgeous looking guitar, but sounds god awful in coil tap, are you sure everything is working correctly? Just can’t see it being designed to sound like that! Is got a thin nails down a blackboard sound
Oh those split coils…ouch????
Most of us poors would be in awe of owning a single guitar in your collection. Do you have a favorite & least favorite?
Silvergold should be a color. And a finish.
The split coil sucks on this one. But, the guitar it self is so gorgeous
Can you also post your signal chain. I ask, as some of these guitars sound great, some not so.
Looks so pretty yet sounds so ugly
My favorite thing about this is the case.
Beautiful
