Announcement 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom
youtu.beHey everybody! Randy here, the sub's resident OEM parts guy. It’s been a little while since I’ve popped by, but I’m back with some really good stuff to share.
For those who don’t know me, I’m the dude from Randy’s OEM Guitar Parts and lead guitar tech with Norlin.
Recently we refurbished a 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom and actually recorded everything. We remixed 2.5 hours of work into a 19 minute video of pure Gibson related-information straight from industry insiders. Think Science Channel's How It’s Made meets VH1’s Pop-Up Video, but instead of showing a music video or building a toaster, we’re deep diving into a vintage Gibson guitar from the Norlin era.
Thanks for taking a look and I hope you enjoy our video!

Help Where to buy vintage Gibsons in the US?
I’m coming to the US in December for a month and I’m looking to buy high end vintage Gibsons. What stores do I need to visit and which people do I need to talk to?
Thanks in advance.

Has such a characteristic grain on the body. Love it, might swap p90s out with lollars or custom shop Gibson p90s.

Help I want to buy a Gibson electric. Part 2, the purchase
galleryHi everyone,
I wanted to thank everyone for all the great recommendations. I ended up buying the Gibson Custom 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue Electric Guitar - Cherry Red, VOS. I tried the Les Paul, The 335 and the 339, but the size/weight made them uncomfortable to play. I am week 3 of rotator cuff surgery recovery on my right side (I’m right handed) and supposed to get my left done as well. I’m also 63 so, comfort does make a difference now. So I had to look at playability for my issues and not just how they look, which they were all beautiful guitars. But I did seriously look at all the recommendations and played them all at Guitar Center, but when I played this one, it felt great the minute my wife layed it on my lap😅😂. I’m still wearing a sling, but I can still strum. The weight and balance felt great, the neck fit like a glove. It was a guitargasm..
So I thank you all and I appreciate all the great feedback from the short responses to the short novel responses 😀
Have a great one everybody

Help Mod Shops??
Hey team, does anybody have anything to share about their experiences with Mod Shop instruments??
Looking at trading up my S2 custom 24 PRS for a gold top standard, with black hardware from 2021 and want to make sure these instruments have a good rep as i'm skeptical.
Thanks

Discussion Question
Hi, I’ve recently been thinking about changing my guitar. I currently own a Les Paul, but due to issues with weight and my health, I feel I need a change. I’ve considered a Telecaster—I know I could go for an SG if I wanted a similar sound, but that’s not what I’m looking for. The question is: do you think it makes more sense to buy an American Classic and modify it to add a humbucker, or should I go for an American Professional II with the "push-push" feature? I don’t have the chance to try them out, so I’m not sure which would be better, nor do I know how much such a modification—or something similar—might cost. Best regards.

galleryThis is my prized possession, I have yet to play something that i enjoy more than this Les Paul . Ive had it since I was 15, it’s starting to show its age. This will 100p be a forever guitar.
Plus it matches the rig.

Picture Gibson Raymond Weil Watch
galleryI know it's a long shot but does anyone here own the Raymond Weil Freelancer Gibson chronograph watch? I enjoy watch collecting and have been trying to hunt one of these down for awhile now as they're hard to find. Would be fun to wear while playing my Black Beauty LP or SJ-200. Wondering if it's worth the chase as I haven't seen one in person.

Picture My drummer’s guitar
This is a 1993 classic. It was gifted to my drummer’s father Eric when he was in the 360°s. They was signed and Eric got gifted multiple multiples of guitars from Gibson.
Eric gave it to my drummer for his 18th birthday.
This is the guitar we always use for rhythm tracks. We love the 500t.
It has some special serial number. I can’t remember what it means.
