Cool stuff, as always! Edit: Regarding pricing at shows like this, it seems to me that some people just bring their stuff to show it off. They mark their items up to a point that no one would pay, and I’ve noticed this phenomenon in antique shops as well.
Those 50's Gold tops and conversions are now going for 50~70k is kinda bonkers not that long ago you could buy a good example of a 54 to 56 goldoltoo for like 20 up to 30k it is great to see that 50's era gold tops are getting more valued those are AMAZING guitars and dare i say some P-90's sounds better that PAF's
I agree about the P90 pickups sounding great. When Gibson instructed Seth Lover to design the PAF Humbucker the goal was to have it sound exactly like the P90. They are made of the very same materials and I think they came close. I just purchased my first P90 equipped guitar and it has become my favorite.
@@joeydurant6267 Well that feeling did not age well did it? Ahahahah. But i know the feeling. I had a 85-ish Studio standard with Tim Shaw's PAF's that i bought for crazy cheap i traded in the deal an Ps2 (this was like 2005) Gibsons here in Brazil are crazy expensive but the vintage ones in early 2000's were surprisingly affordable. Anyway. Went to college years later sold for cheap because i needed the cash quicly to pay the rent. Now i cry everytime i remember that guitar. Best sounding LP i ever played
My unicorn is a P90 Gold Top with a slim neck. Did Gibson ever play around with compound radius fretboards? My arthritis and a torn Labrum from destroying my arm and shoulder has really made 12 inch boards uncomfortable.
I was thinking the same. I've got one I bought new back then but yellowing of the finish from aging has not done good things to the look of the guitar so I'm not a fan.
That lp spec sheet at 14:50 The best I can tell: Gibson.Tom Murphy Aged Page Lemon Drop R9, 2012 limited run of 30, push/pull knobs coil split, in/out phase electronics aka jimmy page, custom wound custom buckers, 9 lbs, lemon drop...

06:14 Yep, vendor prices were high. Methinks the rising gas prices have an effect because they have to drive a gas-sucking truck full of guitars from across the country plus booth fees so need to recover that overhead.
I prefer a modern Kahler trem over any other style trem by a wide margin. Unfortunately Kahler shot themselves in the foot in the 80's with their 1st gen blade style trem. The cam based trem is a joy to work with.
Bill the Photographer here to add comments/corrections! :) 00:30 It was the 2022 Dallas International Guitar Festival, not the 2021 Guitarlington Show.
One buying strategy at these guitar shows: Hit up the walk-in general admission folks coming in with guitars. The vendors will only offer them wholesale prices for their stuff (unless they want it for personal use) so you can always beat their offers.
I love watching these guitar show episodes. I only went to one guitar show in person when I was in high school and bought my first Gibson there (1976 Les Paul Standard in tobacco sunburst) for 1200 with the chainsaw case. I almost got a cheaper, better condition silver burst Les Paul custom but at the time people were telling me silverburst had lower resale value (I think it was 900 bucks). Wish I had gotten both!
Yea, the prices were absolutely ridiculous last year, but it was a lot of fun to see so many guitars in person again after COVID. I went to thin the herd and ended up buying two more (a Mexican Fender Jazz fretless and a Taylor K14c). I'll probably go back this year and try some swaps.
I can vouch for Tokai (Les Paul's) Love Rock's...excellent guitars that are built very well and sound great. I currently own two Tokai's and I'm always looking for another!
As a new Tokai owner I concur, they are fantastic guitars with great value. Gibson's may have a higher resale value, but I can say with confidence I'd never part with my new Tokai.
@@joeydurant6267 I do agree There is only a single video showing the Japan Tokai Factory, its all mostly old fashioned pin routers and automated jig routers. An easy way to keep costs down as long as you don't make more than 3000 guitars a year.
I have an Epiphone LesPaul Special I with P90s and it is just a mahogany plank. Bolt on neck, but it is really resonant. I did replace the lightning bar tailpiece for another wraptail with 6 saddles for intonation, but it will make your ears bleed with a little Peavey Rage in doors Lol. I am having trouble with the 12 inch flat fretboard at 61 with arthritis and a torn labrum from a shattered shoulder and arm. But wow those P90s are hot! Those are beautiful guitars,
Bought a brand new 2017 Yellow Tokai DC junior for 500$ CAD, put a Lindy Fralin P90 in it, changed the electronics and the wraparound bridge and it's an absolute Doom metal machine! Love the thing!
Yeah, I owned a 1980 AR-100 and it would bend my spine, I could only play it for two songs until I had to change to another guitar. It just wasn't funny any more how heavy that thing was.
That 1st Aria LP looked like pre 1975 before they changed the company name to Aria Pro II. Aria made some of the best guitars the decade of the 70's had to offer.
@@EvanDD0127 in the 70’s American manufacturers were putting out some crap to increase profits. As a teen I noticed fit & finish way off. Japan took advantage of this and started shipping some really well made instruments and captured a large portion of the market. The lawsuit (see Ibanez) caused some dancing. In 75 Aria changed to Aria Pro II. I own a 72 Aria clear blonde SG copy. I think it’s a model 1930A. It’s late and don’t recall off hand.
I recently acquired a 1996 Gibson Gem Series LP in Topaz. The bridge P90 was routed out for a humbucker (pretty great routing job too!), and there is a DiMarzio PAF there now. Its definitely a "players grade" guitar, lots of dings and scratches but it plays so damn good!!! Its hard to put down. I traded a 1987 Ibanez Pro540r for it. I think I got the better end of the deal.
Hello Austin, just out of curiosity, what would you pay for a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Traditional w/hard shell case? I bought it used in December of 2015 and paid $1425 for it. It had a sunken bridge which was replaced with a "Tone Pros" tune o matic. Evidently whoever had it before me did not take very good care of it. So it got a new bridge, fret leveled and a bone nut. There's really nothing special about it except for the fact that these were fashioned after a 1958 guitar. The neck is "sort of" chunky and it fits in my hand perfectly, and I have small hands. The finish is Honey Burst and there are no breaks or repairs done to it. I know that music stores have a "pawn shop" license but I wanted to run it by you first. Unfortunately I have no photos for you, but I can guarantee this is a players grade guitar. There's a little bit of finish checking here and there as I play it a lot. This guitar was born on September the 26th of 2015 so it was just 3 months old when I got it. Anyway, your thoughts?
No breaks in the neck is a good thing. The Tone Pro bridge isn't really good or bad. The big problem would be buckle rash/worming on the back of the guitar. Off the top of my head price it at $1800 and take $1600 if local pickup. Pawn shop would throw you $1100 and price it at $1900. Depending on the shop they might price it at $2000 and let it sit there for months.
@@ahoneyman Thanks for the info on this one. I will sell it only as a last resort situation. It's the best Les Paul I've ever owned and I really don't want to part with it, I'm not that desperate yet. Just wanted to see what it's worth so I asked Trogley to see the value in this one. There's nothing special about it, straight from the factory with no mods or anything like that.
That explorer 2 is the one I want. Walnut maple walnut with bevels. My friend Tyler Bates ( Manson , Marvel , Jerry Cantrell ) had that , and still does , back in high school. It s the first Gibson I ever held or played. Love that guitar. Wish ya showed the price. They used to be in the $2000 range , now there hitting $4000 range.
I went to the Tacoma show a few weeks ago, and it was pretty disappointing. I was looking for mid priced guitars ($2000 and under) and it was slim pickings. Almost everything was overpriced. I felt like grabbing a bullhorn and announcing that "I can find everything you're selling for considerably less online!". I did pick up a really decent quality hardshell case that fits a Les Paul for $40 though. So, not a total bust.
do yo heard of the 1960 Les Paul that got found in England an uncirculated one? he made a video on youtube you need to watch this it looks gorgeous 40-50 years untouched !!
2017 firebirds went for around 2k. Picked up a vintage sunburst model from Sweetwater for 1k on closeout. The ‘sword’ on the custom inlay was a rocket I think.
If you wanna get into japanese vintage Les Pauls, know that manufacturers made low, mid, and high end versions of the basically the same models. Think of it like Gibson Les Paul Standard and Gibson Les Paul Standard Custom Shops - And what we see today is people asking custom shop prices for standard guitars. But real collectors know the difference, and to these collectors too does it matter that everything is stock.
I'm not fond of Koa, but damn I need that penguin 🥵 Fucker just BLEEDS classyness, and yea im a punk, but showing up to a jazz gig with that would turn heads man. Greetings and well wishes from Utah!
This must have been the Dallas International Guitar Show from last month…as I went to Guitarlington in the fall of ‘21…these pics look different. Good stuff though! Thanks for posting.
(Bill the photographer) Yes, Totem Paul guitars! Indian themed. I thought Trogly would get a kick out of them. I tried one out, but wasn't impressed with the feel. Probably made in China.
might just be the fact that it’s 230 am and I’m watching this in the sauce but that plastic cover on the TTopped L5S looks like a jazzmaster style trem. That would be ridiculously fun to play if that’s actually the case.
I don't know about these shows: you have lots of people itching to buy a guitar or two...so why would you expect to find lots of deals when the room is teeming with buyers? On the other hand, at least you get to see lots of fun guitars (and might find a project or a rarity). I just don't know why people expect to find real deals at events like these, unfortunately...
Stick around the show till Sunday afternoon, and make some deals with vendors who are packing up! 😁 Most of the time when I picked up a guitar at the show, the dealer would start chopping down the price.
@@I-Libertine I looked at one 1985 Les Paul with massive "patina" but nice player and the dealer took a third off the sticker. I think the tags are for the buyers with more money than brains.
@@zbillster cool how much trouble was it ? About how long from placing the order to estimated arrival ? It’s hard for me to pull the trigger on a guitar over 500 without playing it, but it’s the world we live in now.
That's crazy. I am looking for one, sold mine years ago. I will eventually find one in the condition I want. Mine was down under some 20 years ago, wonder if it is still there.
I have not bought a guitar since March, 2020, right before all hell broke loose. I'm waiting for the market to tank. It's coming, guitarflation will go the way of houses, cars etc. EVERYTHING is overpriced. This bubble will burst...
Hey man ! 11:53 The Capri series Rickenbacker that you don't know much about ? That was fucked up the way you just glanced over that. That's the "classiest" guitar in the ENTIRE lot. Man does not live on Gibson and Fender alone dude.
Cool stuff, as always!
Edit: Regarding pricing at shows like this, it seems to me that some people just bring their stuff to show it off. They mark their items up to a point that no one would pay, and I’ve noticed this phenomenon in antique shops as well.
right on- thats the I dont want to sell it-but will if you want to be silly about it pricing.
Good take.
You made the podium for today and earned a Bronze Medal. Well done.
This is actually a feature of the mind-set created by a new inflationary cycle, which then "turbocharges" it.
The guitar at 2:13 is an Ibanez GB10. It is a George Benson Signature guitar and one of if not the best jazz guitar on the market.
Correct Drew in all you say. I have the GB100 which is the same git with a bit more make-up.
And I believe the longest running production signature model guitar.
Those 50's Gold tops and conversions are now going for 50~70k is kinda bonkers not that long ago you could buy a good example of a 54 to 56 goldoltoo for like 20 up to 30k it is great to see that 50's era gold tops are getting more valued those are AMAZING guitars and dare i say some P-90's sounds better that PAF's

You sellers can all KMA.
We definitely need a ten minute video of a guitar show inventory with muzak in the background. 😁
might just be the fact that it’s 230 am and I’m watching this in the sauce but that plastic cover on the TTopped L5S looks like a jazzmaster style trem. That would be ridiculously fun to play if that’s actually the case.
I think so too.
Did I see an acoustic Flying V in the background at 18:53???
I think so! I was at the show and it didn't really catch my attention.
@@zbillster I would love to know more. I’m sure I could google it but I’d rather talk to you guys.
@@EvanDD0127 I'll have to go through the photos I took at the show to see if I caught the dealer name.
i cant even think about buying a gibson without Trog, you know these like the back of your hand.
Great show made me wanna be there just looking at all to see
I don't know about these shows: you have lots of people itching to buy a guitar or two...so why would you expect to find lots of deals when the room is teeming with buyers? On the other hand, at least you get to see lots of fun guitars (and might find a project or a rarity). I just don't know why people expect to find real deals at events like these, unfortunately...
Stick around the show till Sunday afternoon, and make some deals with vendors who are packing up! 😁 Most of the time when I picked up a guitar at the show, the dealer would start chopping down the price.
@@zbillster great suggestion. Thanks!
@@I-Libertine I looked at one 1985 Les Paul with massive "patina" but nice player and the dealer took a third off the sticker. I think the tags are for the buyers with more money than brains.
I’ve been wanting a Tokai to scratch my LP itch would love to see Trogly review one of the 1500 ish Japanese made one’s
I've got a 2020 Love Rock on its way over from Japan! 😁
@@zbillster cool how much trouble was it ? About how long from placing the order to estimated arrival ? It’s hard for me to pull the trigger on a guitar over 500 without playing it, but it’s the world we live in now.
Thanks Bill!
😃😄😁
My dream vintage gibson is around $100k give or take. Maybe one day…………😢
The Chibsons are Epiphone level quality? You mean they're visually nicer than a Gibson?
🤣😂🤣
08:17 I posted that pic on the Tokai forum. Even those hardcore Tokai fans think it's WAY overpriced at $3295!
Is that an LS-50 or 60 - fair price more like USD1200-1800?
Also. I tried to sell Trogly that Custom Lite before that dealer bought it off me.
That's crazy. I am looking for one, sold mine years ago. I will eventually find one in the condition I want. Mine was down under some 20 years ago, wonder if it is still there.
I have not bought a guitar since March, 2020, right before all hell broke loose. I'm waiting for the market to tank. It's coming, guitarflation will go the way of houses, cars etc. EVERYTHING is overpriced. This bubble will burst...
In 1978, I bought a new Tobacco Sunburst Les Paul Custom for $525. Wonder what it would be worth today had I kept it….SMH
I bought a 78 wine red Custom for $650 bought in early 1990s. Had trouble selling it to a year or two later. I think I broken even. 😭
Hey man ! 11:53 The Capri series Rickenbacker that you don't know much about ? That was fucked up the way you just glanced over that. That's the "classiest" guitar in the ENTIRE lot. Man does not live on Gibson and Fender alone dude.
I hear Austin use the term Real Mac Daddy quite often WTF is he talking about?
Hey look and see if there is going to be a Buckethead gibson v......I bet a dollar. Watch the new video that's a Gibson V
