1983 Gibson Les Paul Custom w/Kahler Tremolo

Today we've got a cool shredder, a Gibson Les Paul Custom in rare Metallic Red finish, complete with a Kahler tremolo system and Gibson crank tuners. A great guitar in good condition, ready to rock as you'll hear when Nick plugs it in to the Marshall JCM900 we've been running this week!
For more information on the guitar or amp, please give us a call or check out:

Diff finish on a guitar obviously, but whenever I see a kahler on a LP I always think immediately of Steve Clark.

[@aylabillick]

Steamin’ Clark! What an icon

[@Lonnie_Johnson]

Beautiful guitar! Kahler tremolos are really good. I had the 2700 on my Peavey Vandenberg and also the Spyder was a really good Floyd alternative. Always stayed in tune, easier to setup and great quality and with this type everything is topmounted so no screws through the neck or big route at the back of the body. Beautiful Les Paul too!! if only it had a gold Bigsby on it instead of the Kahler, it'd be a 10/10 pretty much my dream guitar.

I have a 1974 Les Paul Custom, I screwed on a kahler nut and switched to a TP-6, now it never goes out of tune 🙌🏻

[@gfgranja]

What a stunning guitar! Love the Kahler, shame he didn't use ( and abuse it ) on the video

[@PrettyRecords]

Yeah I think he touched it once! What a waste of a demo of an LP with a trem! 😂

[@ksharpe10]

I think Steve Clark of def leppard used a White lp custom with a kahler on it.

[@LadyHeroineOfficial]

during the hysteria era, he put a kahler on nearly all the les pauls he had

[@dclipper8052]

Hopefully some day you guys will get a Les Paul with a Kahler on it to demo.

[@styrenebuilds6851]

I remember in the 90's you couldn't give them away .

[@carlschumacher3257]

yeah, those super strat type guitars were the rage. les paul is still the standard bearer, imho.

[@prtzllgc80]

I traded mine for a Marshall head, biggest regret 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@avivpinto4013]

Nope. Actually Gibson held up very high in the ninetees

[@stephenstevens6573]

Thats the sound of 80s rock and roll!

[@MrTylero28]

Kahler bridges were so slick

[@tykit9230]

Had a Kahler on a Fender HM Strat, incredible machine

[@bishlap]

never liked the double binding on any LP... Beautiful color though, very nice.... and now that I've heard it - WOW!!! Fantastic tone and playing. PEACE, ALL.

[@s.afoxmulder7661]

No wiggle stick action. 0 points. Cool guitar tho.

[@zippy-zappa-zeppo-zorba-etc]

I agree. I wanted to hear how deep it dives

[@andrewkemp1882]

Demo guitar with Kahler on it? Tick.
Not touch Kahler the entire demo? Tick.

[@vitocorleone650]

You changed the bridge and you don't use it, what's the point?

[@alexissinich369]

Hello, I have a Gibson Les Paul Studio from 1981, it came with trem kahler, but they took it out, I can't find much information about the woods that were used in its construction, could you help me?... it could be that they came with an alder body, maple neck and rosewood fretboard?
Is it a real Les Paul or is it a Gibson invention to sell at that time?

[@goiastr7760]

That action!

[@a_new_hourbandofficial9121]

I have a 1983 Les Paul Standard with the factory Kahler and mine gives me issues so it’s locked but it’s a mean sounding guitar but I’d like to get the Kahler working properly

[@PrettyRecords]

Came here to see the whammy in use, but it didn't get touched! 😂

[@michagonet3716]

Wow, it sounds exactly like my Martin uke…

[@michaelstone7514]

Is going to demo the tremolo?

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Did this guy know that there was a tremolo attached the the guitar?
The amp tones were stiff and lifeless.

[@maiyanzycompania1296]

And a tremolo?

[@tidepoolbay]

What About The Bigsby?

[@alinaqvi4653]

Cantrell wouldn't mind one of those..

[@RokDAWG1]

Does he even know there’s a tremolo system on the guitar? That tone is weak. Blah

[@Monkey92hero]

งามพลับๆ

[@jovanmilosevskimilosevski6264]

Dont know why someone try to demo tremolo sistem playing bad riffs . tremolo sistem is about tuning stabolity and tone as well so , Kahller can be the best tremolo sistem made but you are not making right demo . Be serious and avoid shit

[@brianlee1089]

How the f are you gonna do a video of a Les Paul with a tremolo and not use the damn tremolo wtf

[@helio1055]

god damn turn the prescience or the treble down its ear piercing

[@darwinsaye]

The most unfortunate era for guitars and amps. Super high gain pickups, super high gain amps, bad tones. People crap on 70s Norlin and CBS gear, but I’d take anything 70s in a heartbeat over gear from the 80s.

[@andrewkemp1882]

You know these have Tim Shaw PAFs in them right?

[@Jh-fi5im]

the 80s had the best tones! The 70s was full of thin sounding, shrill sounding guitars. THE 80s ROCKED!

[@darwinsaye]

@@Jh-fi5im Shrill, thin sounding guitars? Go listen to All Right now by Free, Mississippi Queen by Mountain, Tush by ZZ Top, Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh, anything 70s by Jethro Tull, or The Who, Heart, Sabbath, and on and on. I think you either never really experienced 70s rock, or you have a really skewed idea of what shrill and thin mean. 70s guitar tone was all about being thick and beefy. It was 80s shredders who started using shrill tones so their solos would stand out more.

[@kellyswoodyard]

Would you paint a moustache on the Monash Lisa? Les Paul with a tremolo, heresy.

[@TrebleMidBass]

The jcm900 was the worst selection for the demo, that head was a failure for the high gain competition

[@b.i.g.brothersinguitars249]

Thanks for the candy!
