- This 1953 Gibson Les Paul Standard has been lovingly converted in-house by Tyler Geske to match 1956 specs, and the top refinished with a stunning 1950 Chevy "Channel Green" top! A wonderful guitar to put in the hands of a special guest and friend of the shop Taylor Nauta, with a trusty old 60's Fender Vibrolux Reverb.

![How to Refinish GIBSON Les Paul R9. [PART 3] R9 to '59 conversion](/img/n.gif)
Wouldn’t it be great if Gibson put guitars into production with that color!
Exactly they do
They currently offer the color "olive drab", exclusively on their website. Pretty similar color.
This is literally my former 1953 goldtop..... I started watching the video and immediately noticed the chip on the headstock veneer and the missing binding higher up on the neck. Then went on the website and saw it was the same serial number. Cool to run into it again... like the color. When I had it the top was already refinished in the gold he was talking about and it had the wraparound tailpiece. Hope the new owner enjoys it.
Totall class sr
So cool you recognized it. :)Guitars with stories to tell are automatically cooler.
So why did you sale it?
@@maxmonacolife is a good explanation
They did good work to make it look like this. Beautiful green
that industrial green is killin
great choice
i would totally own that!
Love the color choice 👏
Same here and it sounds amazing 👍👍
Lots of comments about the guitar (and yeah, it’s cool) but what about this player?! He’s fantastic. Coaxes some sweet sounds out of that old misfit of a Gibson.
He's got a fantastic touch. Great player!
Y’all should gift Taylor that guitar, I swear they were meant to be together. That thang sounds like a damn Tele on roids, badass…!
Thanks for the kind words, y’all!
Color choice is great!
Color is Sublime - Kudos to you guys for an Awesome restoration and improvement!👊
Also - great touch and style from Taylor - tasteful and sonically on point. ☝️👍
Thank you!
That is GORGEOUS! Gibson needs to use that color!!!
That's a really great colour
Totally dig the finish ‘ and that’s coming from a guy that has two GOLD TOPS plus
That is a lovely guitar!!
That Gibson is spectacular.
That's a great looking 53!
It’s one of the best-looking LPs I’ve ever seen, and sounds gorgeous.
Everything about this guitar looks amazing. Splendid job! I saw I’m not the first to point this out, but the choice for that colour is BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL 😍
I know lots of people only want to see the traditional colors, but at this point in time EVERYBODY owns a butterscotch blonde Telecaster, whether it’s a Custom Shop Fender, a Squier Classic Vibe or anything else, everybody and their grandmothers have a butterscotch blonde Tele, or a Les Paul burst, or a two tone Sunburst on a 50’s style Stratocaster and so on. And I’m just bored with them. I used to love them with all my heart, like all of us, but because of that I crave for something new. I recently painted one of my Telecasters in a matte olive drab green. It looks great, but it’s a hard colour to capture on camera. I’m planning on painting another Tele in matte grey.
Anyway, I LOVE the finish on this beautiful Les Paul and whoever is going to buy this beauty is going to be the happiest person in the world! ❤
Nice Work Tyler & Taylor! WooF!
good call on the color
Now that is cool, love the color.
fantastic pickin ,, oh yes
holy gsus....sounds amazing....
Wow kudos for going with that color I love it it’s tuff!!!
Sounds great!!
Cool axe. Betcha it plays like dream.
You ve done an amazing job..... I love the green colour...... 🤩 and p90s uhhhh love it !
Man that is so cool. I'd totally rock this!
That’s rad 😊
Great job!
Great job and beautiful colour choice, but holy heck; I would have just put one of those mojoaxe wrap over bridge tailpieces on it and called it a day, rather than do a whole neck reset.
Love it!!! It will always be a '53. You guys are the best. 6 good numbers and we'll meet in person, thats a promise 🤘🎸👍
PS the dish carve on that thing is incredible!! Great playing too brother!!!
Looks like a Country club Cadillac green. It's really cool than a burst refinish.
Very tasteful
Very cool!
Great color! Not exactly Olive Drab, which I love, but similar. And please let Taylor know that it's okay to use the pinky on his left hand.
Damn, it just posted an hour ago and it’s sold. 😳
🎩
😁
👕👍Great!
👖
Yeah it’s perfect
P90s for the win, very cool colour.
Ide like to see vid of the neck reset work.
Okay, this gets my heart beating a little faster.
I'll take it. ;)
Did joe riggio pain this with his old dupont green he has?
Looks great! I want him to refinish the top on my 71 les paul!
Nope, I did all the work, I’m the guy in the video. Joe is a close friend of ours though and also does amazing finishes, I’m flattered to be mentioned in the same breath. Thanks for watching!
very surprised how Tele-like that bridge position sounded ..
Little snippets of walk don't run, nice
Lmao previous owner getting absolutely dragged
looks and sounds the part. problem is, I dont think you'd get the value back if you'd try and resell it, seeing that it had so many issues
It’s nothing to do with the value when you love Guitars It’s a music lovers thing not a money thing
@@stevencurrie1540 negative. That’s a huge investment you’d have to protect.
The frets look REALLY low. Sounds lovely though.
Somebody will buy it, but a simple stop tail would have done. A 1950 Chevy color? Well, somebody will buy it. Like Sly said, different strokes,,,
I’d love it
i know people who spend this level of cash cream up over originality, but you really don't want frets from 1953/56. new ones (installed correctly) will make the guitar much more comfy to play
Single coils 🎉
Remember when Emerald City used to post their prices?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Remember when people could read a description? The link to the guitar is right there, with the number you're looking for. Then again having flag profile and rehashing a nearly 20 year old Family Guy joke as if it is funny... we really shouldn't be expecting much here, should we?
I'll give you $2000 for it.
who pays for these comments?? It is a substandard refinish neck binding is crap filthy grunge not scraped at the fingerboard end.. if you are going to do it do it right!
you would have more views if you uploaded the process........
I love it because it so one of a kind
Hahaha your Les Paul refinishing video has 7 views man. Thanks for the advice though.
very nice guitar and great playing....does he normally play a tele?
Yeah, I’m usually a tele guy.
