I Bought The Jeff Beck "Yardburst" Reissue... (Better Than I Thought!) | Gibson 2024

[@ryandowning-v2j]

Congrats on 300000

[@DDE_ADDICT]

Cool it sounds like a Gibson Les Paul with humbuckers in it.

[@Releasethebats123]

Dude bought a $10,000 guitar and says “it’s better than I thought!” Lmao that thing better sound like harps played by angles at that price

[@MonkeyFeat]

Love custombuckers. Have them in my Peter Frampton. Thanks, Trogly, for helping me get that Custom.

[@danielbreaux1842]

I really like Custombuckers also!

[@M_T_B_1_1_8]

Love the custombuckers in my R9 too

[@austinjabaley7219]

I enjoy the history behind these, but honestly any Les Paul into the right amp is gonna give you that sound. Signatures are just for the avid fans🤷

[@jonnyf9049]

In the les paul case for sure, mostly no special attributes like different fretboard radius or bridges or kind if stuff. Other companies vary more

[@DG-bb1jz]

Every single Les paul is a signature model in itself.

[@pinheadlarry2709]

Jimmy page did actually use this guitar occasionally during the yardbirds

Congrats Austin, 300K 👍 Gibson factory double cream pickups are the ultimate look for a Burst (IMHO), so beautiful. Thank You for the review of this instrument.

[@ethanhitchcock5431]

Knee-Toe ! The mismatched plastics make the burst look wee-ird , very cool guitar ! I love Jeff Beck , The Yardbirds , and his Jeff Beck Group material with ' Rod the bod ' ! Thanks Trogly !

[@rsullivant]

Read that Beck’s later player Les Paul was a Strings & Things. If so, was the ox blood re-issue based on a strings & things.

[@kindnessmakesushappy]

This seems like a smokin’ deal compared to the Kirk Hammett signature 20,000 and 50,000 dollar guitars..

[@frankiechan9651]

All I can say is, that if you have a purple nut you should go see your Doctor. Seriously though - the ageing job on this is superb. Not over the top with massive checking or wear down to bare wood. The subtle shadows where the poker chip and pickguard would protect the paint are a genius touch.

[@Dragon_rls]

Purple nuts... The new "blue balls".

[@johne.1011]

Sounds painful!

[@larrydj549]

Reminds me of Jeff

[@ianson3]

For Your Love. Nice touch, Trogly.

[@markhill9275]

Actually Jimmy was alrready quite famous amongst London musos before the Yardbirds. He actually turned them down initially after Clapton quit. It was Jimmy who got Jeff his first start in the Yardbirds, Jeff gave him the Tele as a thank you. Jimmy only joined when the bass player walked out mid gig.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

Nice to hear Trogly doing some Yardbirds riffs! Neat guitar 10K regardless

[@faroutmayt]

Just saw the Jeff Beck collection up for auction on Christie's. Is this the same Yardburst as the one up for auction there? If it is, the top has been stripped down to natural, black humbuckers, cream pickguard, and the most interesting mod: the headstock says "The Gibson" with a flowerpot inlay.

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

Beck's Bolero would have been appropriate sample, and he had Page playing on it.

[@DouglasMcLaughlin-kq7hk]

And only us Boomers would recall that (along with Keith Moon)....Do folks born since '85 understand this significance? They will for $10k! Grandkids inheritance kit.

[@mattt2581]

@@DouglasMcLaughlin-kq7hk Born in '82, Beck's first album, Truth, is such a good album!

[@denAlexVA]

They did a nice job on the finish of that model. Very pretty and accurate.

[@Kahuna54]

How long will it take to see these on Reverb for $20k?

[@davesinger6526]

Are the bridge studs mounted into bushings or screwed directly into the wood? I thought I saw bushings.

[@BillZappasodi]

For Your Love was with Clapton on guitar. Beck joined a short time later.

[@keineideefureinennamen4474]

The purple nut is probably the Aniline Dye. Check out some pictures of white guitar stands with aniline dye guitars on them :)

[@gavterrygt]

I love Jeff Beck, but when I think LP it’s the ox blood that does it for me

[@emcg.9655]

I have one of the white painted over series guitars and the pink of the case had imprinted on the back of the neck where it supports the neck. Was like that when i bought it.

[@jeffbarnard9246]

Trogly I agree I'm not into the aged look only if they are naturally aged and played the hell out of it. You know, lots of love to the finish! I actually like it without the pick guard you see more of the beautiful finish on these bad boys and ya 10.000 is pushing it. You could save the extra on the Murphy lab by just playing the hell out of it, of course with a couple of cocktails while your at it. That's always good for a few dings and dents in your finish. Great show thanx Trogly.

[@TyCorr]

I agree with your thoughts but a regular old les paul custom is 5-6k now. Thats not a 57 or 68 reissue. Just a 2024 LPC

[@fugamantew]

This guitar is a keeper!!

[@traviesoarcefan3063]

What a beauty! This one sounds really nice. 👍

[@arustydodge2111]

Really like this one. Not a chance I would ever buy, it could afford it, but truly do dig it. Gibson got it right. Seems like you enjoyed this too, Trogs. You’re playing has really stepped up, and when you are digging one of these guitars it stands out even more! Well Done! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ralphwest8156]

Wow the tones ' those Custombuckers are fantastic ' ...a superb tribute to Jeff - probably started us all up the modding road.

[@SixSixthSix]

I'm not a big Jeff Beck fan but, I just love how this guitar looks, especially the plane looking top.

[@clarkbabin9799]

Maybe it's because the name associated with this Les Paul but for once I do like this aged guitar. But hearing it looking at it it's got the looks and style that do catch my eyes. I really like the looks of most flamed and quilt tops but I'm the kind of person that likes some things just because it's different.

[@vincentl.9469]

It's too much money-way too much

[@jp2246]

Congratulations on 300K! 🎉

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Play that "For your love" riff using barre chords and it sounds even better. Great vid, maybe removing the pick-up covers on the a burstbucker guitar will give you the extra high mid?

[@steveparish9210]

I like it a lot, I liked Jeff Beck a lot. Nice demo trog

[@benlogan430]

That looks and sounds epic!!!

[@kentfranklin736]

Great review. The stock photos weren't very convincing. But up close this guitar is very tasteful (with the pickguard off 🙂)

[@pauljazz818]

Love those pickups

[@larrylakey4041]

This was the Les Paul that Rick Nielsen sold Jeff Beck in 68 I believe. He says that he sold Jeff a Les Paul Standard with the white coils. It's a 59 or 60,and the finish is more aligned with the 60's finished.

[@lukebaldwin3682]

From my memory, the guitar Rick sold was the other sunburst Jeff played in the early years of the Jeff Beck Group. That was a very flamed maple top with a zebra neck pup and double black bridge. There are photos online of that one

[@matthewajello1299]

Yea that one is like tiger striped it’s crazy, if you listen to Rick Nielsen it sounds like Jeff beck turned him onto Les Paul’s

[@SuperKazmierski]

I genuinely enjoy your videos. I really like your playing style.

[@albertcoelho8313]

Wasn’t Ron Wood also a part of the Yardbirds for a minute?

[@dukeford8893]

No.

[@myoptik3x103]

I think he just jammed with them for one gig when the singer was sick. I guess you could say he literally joined them for a minute.

[@RobinSmithCGP]

I like the sound of those pickups…very warm.

[@ronhoffman7941]

did they ever make a Steve Gaines black les paul or a Allen Collins firebird ?

[@jubei7259]

Don't know about Steve Gaines but there's definitely a Collins Explorer (not sure about a Firebird though?). They did a 'cheeky' replica of his Explorer on another occasion too (pretty much identical specs to his but not an official signature model, probably so they didn't have to pay him lol)

[@LarryHric-zl9pe]

Gibson ran out of black bobbins for the 1959/60 Les Paul pickups so they started using crème colored bobbins. Gibson was using double crème bobbins long before Dimarzio.

[@jonkerr2050]

OK I'm drawing a blank. Whats the name of the song you start playing at 15:37?

[@jonnyf9049]

If you need to pry the Medaillon out do it in the screwholes of the plate, then you dont damage the wood sorrounding

[@kentfranklin736]

I unscrew the switch nut and push the plate out using the switch. If the control cavity cover is sticking I unscrew the output jack plate and reach in to push it out.. those suction cup thingies didn't work for me

[@gordonflaim8762]

It may or may not be the velvet turned the nut purple because it doesn't seem to be on the tuning buttons

[@DeadKoby]

If you're a Yardbirds fan, and you want a guitar with that mojo... there you go.

[@Dragon_rls]

When everyone ran out of "Gibson" Les Paul hardshell cases some time ago. I ordered, and then canceled a Lufton case from M.F. My reason? I couldn't get past the pink interior. Now I have 2 reasons. Damn.

[@papasmamas1]

This gonna be interesting to watch. 😃

[@matthewf1979]

Gibson has double white 57 Classics and the 1959 Collector’s pickups. Both have been around for months before this guitar was even announced. I doubt this was the guitar/pickups the lawsuit was over.

[@joermnyc]

I mean they could use the purple case interior for a Prince tribute, though I can’t recall ever seeing him play a Gibson (he played so many bespoke guitars).

[@bradconklin2878]

That's a good guitar. Nice playing, man.

I've noticed that you've said it in a few videos now, but don't you mean bumble bee resistors, rather than bumble bee capacitors? I'm actually impressed there's someone out there still making these, by the way. Much easier to tell the values than it is on the more modern ones - at least with my aging eyes!

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

They are capacitors.

[@LPCustom3]

I think the new Custom Buckers are pretty nice!

[@DougMen1]

It's not a patent that Dimarzio had on double creams, but a trademark. You can't patent a color! Those pickups do sound very special, even for a PAF type.

[@jimcoppa6946]

I wouldn't pay $1,000 or more just have Gibson bang up my guitar to call it a relic

[@AS__77]

I personally don’t like the look or the price of this, but I do love that middle position sound lol.

[@davidbaron8892]

Not what I'd want -- at even a normal price, but I do think it's kind of cool. I know JB played the LP in the Yardbirds, but I associate him more with the Tele in the Yardbirds. I seem to recall he played this one (or perhaps a different LP) on Truth, no?

[@gloifti]

For your love...

[@dan_c_418]

Don’t know one Yardbirds song, but that’s an awesome guitar, I want to play MINOR THREAT songs on it!

[@weldonwenturine3395]

[@jamesmarcin4787]

Loved the look of this Gibson when it was first announced. Love plain tops. Sounds fantastic. Maybe I will change my cream pickguard to black on my 2020 Classic in Heritage cherry. I could always change it back.

[@bluekoi455]

Ive never seen the original, what thetop looks like with the aging is a spruce top with tobacco burst fading out...amd am i seeing a xmas tree back there?

[@fendafred]

Although Gibson indicated the type of magnets used in their Custop Shop 59 LPs (alnico 3, alnico 5…), there is no mention of the magnet material for the Yardburts pickups. I also like those pickups a lot so maybe they used something different than my other R9s?

[@styrenebuilds6851]

Yes nitro has been known to suck up colors from the case .

[@MuscleCarLover]

I have a 2024 R8 and I had to carefully use a screwdriver in the screw hole to get it to come free (I wanted the original look of the black plate) Also, bobbin colour would do nothing to the tone lol

OK so I guess I'll be the one to say it... Heart Full of Soul is not a Beck era Yardbirds song.... It's a Clapton era Yardbirds song. Over Under Sideways Down, or Train Kept a Rollin, would have been more appropriate song choices. Cool guitar, and great playing Trog!

You are correct. It’s a foray out of the blues written by Graham Gouldman that led Clapton to leave the band paving the way for Beck.
