Honestly I think he spent more money than the guitar was worth. I think the value of the guitar and the repair bill combine he could have gone a decent vintage Gibson that he didn’t have to get restored but to each his own, that’s what I thought of that video
@@greg7656 Really great point. Lots of people kinda missed that detail. I enjoyed following along with the restauration he did to the guitar. But each to their own.
Sad that Trogly didn't want to name Matthew, or give a link to the episodes ... (A bit too 'businesslike' not to have made that connection for viewers, in my opinion !)
Kind of wondered that, he's mentioned other TH-camrs before, even showed support for Stevie Ts site getting hacked, I am not sure why Matthew Scott isn't mentioned
One fell off my wall mount just the other day. It only damaged the floor and gave me a jump scare. Not even a scratch on the guitar. Then again my les Paul would never fall because of the headstock shape. The tele peghead is too narrow.
TheMrMRsmoke... yes,absolutely would've!! Also,it would've stayed in tune too!🤣👍 ..I swear,my Tele stays in tune NO MATTER what its went through, I swear its the most "stay in tune guitar" ever! 🤣
Do you own any acoustics? none of them take impacts well. preferences are more about sound & feel. reasonable durability is assumed with the major brands. there's a reason they don't call a hammer an instrument.
"Documented on another channel" come on man just shout out Matthew Scott, he's a great guy and it just comes across like you're salty he got so many views out of that guitar.
Wouldn't the decent thing have been to find the original owner - they couldn't live too far from there, and not many people have an early-1950's Les Paul. I'm surprised nobody thought of doing that, the owner likely lost many other things, so getting back their prized guitar might have been a huge psychological lift for them, but I guess we'll never know?
I LIVE IN WASHINGTON, IL WHERE THE TORNADO TORE THROUGH TOWN. I remember it happening like it was yesterday. Fortunately, I wasn't hit by the tornado, but it is still pretty traumatic to those who were affected.
Anyone think about finding WHOSE guitar it is?!? I mean who ever went through the hurricane/tornado if he/she lived probably have it hard enough right? I dig Jared a lot,he means well, I am surprised that he doesn't find the REAL owner and gift this to them. They are just assuming they're dead? I couldn't keep that without at least finding out? Karma brother, I'm a big believer, witnessed a lot in my life. He needs to do the Right thing,and who knows they may Give it too him themselves,with their blessing.
@@wesleyalan9179 Do you really think that someone will forget that? That they're probably destroyed inside? If they were able to survive the storm, and someone found it and didn't even make an attempt to reunite it with the true owner? If they had tried Jared should have prefaced this story with that. Not hating, I'm a guitar freak and admire Jared and the guitar community that does cool shit like this, that's why I know about it.......still,who Lost it?
@@bobbyparks801 No, I would never believe that ANYONE would forget that they had a 52' LP...lol,thats just ludicrous😅 to think that! But yeah, I absolutely agree with you on all points,man...ALL POINTS!😁👍
If you check JJN IG post, the person who found it, tracked the original owner before giving it to JJN, he was dead, of course, but the daughter of the owner gave her blessing to give the guitar to Jared.
I was waiting to hear about the original bridge/tailpiece. Dorothy had no visible screw holes for either on the top, yet was restored with a bridge requiring two posts. Was the original bridge just glued on?
Speaking of natural disasters: let's take a moment to think about the people in New Orleans losing their stuff, and instruments, right now. Be safe, everybody! (aug. 31st comment)
Wow, this is probably the most impressive resto I have seen given the starting condition. Because the history, the story, and the provenance of the guitar, I don't even think this will take all that much of a hit in value. At least not over time. Tornados are a part of Americana and I think there are collectors who would pay a premium for this guitar. Collectors will always pay more for a good story.
I remember that storm.... it's only 45 minutes away from me. I actually live 5 minutes away from Dorothy's grave. Yes L. Frank Baum the author of "The Wizard of Oz" had a niece named Dorothy. Oddly enough a tree near her grave was struck by lightning 🌩. They carved the trunk into the likeness of Dorothy from the film.
Look maw, i found a geetar neck out a fishin, wat the heck we gonna do wid it maw? Maw............im retiring early........................................:)
My old alma mater was the blue tornado,,But I would have never done that..... I live now in the hills of Alabama 😎 and Tornado are through here frequently....not much will survive these ominous storms....That is a really sexy instrument the patina and that fret board awesome 😎... that Girl needs to be copied....
I like the ruby tornado on the headstock better than the knob idea as I'm a traditional kinda guy and just love the way a les paul looks even the knobs
Oh boy.. I think that fretboard grain is a bit too busy for that particular LP. looks quite modern and out of place. oh well, glued, screwed and tattooed now..
I keep thinking wasn’t there an owner of this guitar before the tornado? You’d think they would have wanted it back. So glad it was fixed but still that was somebody’s. Maybe it was forgotten in an attic.
Hey! Just now seeing this. The shot at 8:47 I filmed in Nashville and sent to Jared! Loved this video putting the whole story together. Such a special guitar!
Hey brother I desperately need your help. I love your show have a Epiphone Les Paul with a very warped twisted neck looking for a Gibson neck where do I go to find one. Reverb is no help any help would be appreciated thank you in advance
My guitars sure got a relic job, they were flooded followed by a sewage backup, no saving them they were destroyed during the cleanup, I live in south Louisiana in a town called mandeville and hurricane ida ripped us a new one!
I have a 1952 golden top Les paul that needs restored. It has two different types of wood in the body and the neck was shaved down to a small profile instead of the usual thick necks. It’s has a long story to it.
Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that the luthier retro fitted a stopbar tailpiece into the top instead of the more traditional looking aluminium arch top type bridge? like, I'm not complaining, the luthier did an amazing job but not a lot of people seem to notice this modification
It looks like they put holes in the top for the bridge that does not have a foot. The origional bridge was floating and only held in position by the downward string pressure.
Jared said the reason they left the neck alone is to show what piece is historic and original and what piece is new so it basically tells the story of the guitar. instead of faking the wear and making it all look old. ;)
This is so cool to me because it's a local story. That gecko burst dude is TJ, my first guitar teacher at Josh's Guitar Shop in Pekin, IL. My current guitar teacher Damien (releasing his own music under the name Damien Crow on iTunes/Spotify) actually owns that Gecko Burst LP now and it appears in some of his songs. Getting a good look at that guitar inspired me to get my own LP, and that's how I found your TH-cam channel in the first place. Very cool to see this come full circle. LOL And yeah, Washington was basically leveled. I know people who lived in hotels and trailers for a year or more while houses were rebuilt. Totally devastating. Neat to see something come out of it.
"¿Qué pasa con las Gibson?" Contexto: Para los que hablan español, existe un canal de TH-cam llamada "El Robot de Colón" que posee la misma música y hace siempre una introducción igual.
Before you said who did the work, the guy who restore that other guys Les Paul came to mind, and then you show the photo of the other restore and I thought wow what a good guess.

The team of Murphy labs are now chasing tornadoes to further developing their relic jobs.
You've won the internet for today
Lololol drive a truck into the eye of the storm. Release the guitars and watch them fly!!!!!! Then get food at Mom's house!
Comment of the year award !
"Twister 2".. maybe?
Tornado Burst coming late 2022. List price 19,990,99.
Really like the Goodwill resto he did for Matthew Scott. That guitar was worn out big time.
Yeah i remember at the time he wanted to keep the axe doctor name secret.
Honestly I think he spent more money than the guitar was worth. I think the value of the guitar and the repair bill combine he could have gone a decent vintage Gibson that he didn’t have to get restored but to each his own, that’s what I thought of that video
@@pigdick2233 but Matthew's in the business of making interesting videos. How interesting would it have been to buy a decent vintage Gibson?
@@greg7656 Really great point. Lots of people kinda missed that detail. I enjoyed following along with the restauration he did to the guitar. But each to their own.
You can see that he really enjoys sleuthing these old relics. The Firebird was another example.

Yeah, I agree! Weenie move.
Total Dick Move! The video intro was off putting.
Awesome they left all the battle scars, such character, and will gain more with hopefully years ahead of it on the road.
Honestly that's what makes a guitar look like junk.
In some time we will be seeing "DOROTHY AGED AND SIGNED" for 15k a piece
And at 50k the real hurricane aged ones.
@@artbk 😆
I live in tornado alley. It's amazing that anything was left. This has to be the coolest stories I've heard in a long time.
Telecaster wouldve survived that tornado intact

Nice work by J W restorations. Definitely has some mojo and a cool story. Nice of Joe B to donate parts to the project.
Since Jared only has epiphone signatures, the Gibson Murphy lab should do a limit run of dorthey's, like Jerry Cantrell's new signature.
Matthew Scott's channel is great. Matthew is a very skilled player and the feel is very genuine. Dude rips on guitar.
I agree, self taught knowledge and aspiring luthier. I like him a lot
Tornado: "Les Paul, you're going down!"
P90s: "Hold my beer."
"This is such a cool story. And like others on here, I'm really happy they left all of the tornado scars on this beauty. So VERY COOL!
That is a Kahler NOT a Rose... Warranty card say Kahler ...

Hurricane 🌀 Ida coming to New Orleans this week. Ill bet that would do some nice aging. Just a suggestion.
I was waiting to hear about the original bridge/tailpiece. Dorothy had no visible screw holes for either on the top, yet was restored with a bridge requiring two posts. Was the original bridge just glued on?
So if we want a reliced guitar we have to put it in a tornado? Actually it’s beautiful!✌️🤪🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

The Murphy Labs version of Dorothy will be called Yellow Brick Road Glory 😉
I think I saw this guitar in the movie Twister
I bet the Custom Shop remakes this!
That tailpiece is gross....
Pretty sure the headstock was done by super chilling it with compressed air (the stuff you clean a keyboard with) and then hitting it with a heat gun
That's exactly what I would have done if I had that guitar. Perfectly rebuilt.
That got drug through a trailer park
Look maw, i found a geetar neck out a fishin, wat the heck we gonna do wid it maw? Maw............im retiring early........................................:)
Murphy Labs could use some pointers 😂
It is missing some ruby red accent. I mean its dorothy c'mon
5:06 To quote Doc Brown, "Great Scott!" Trogly, you could give Matthew a shoutout, ya know...he deserves it!
Wow! Amazing that anyone would take the time and effort to restore this. A true guitar enthusiast!
Why no comment about the bridge ?? ...how does that stay on ....just string pressure ???
He should find a way to use this in some kind of charity events to benefit tornadoes and other natural disasters !!!!!!
I wanna buy one! So Gibson, make these. Call'm 'Nadoe or Dorothy guitars. A USA new look version and a CS replica aged by the M Lab. COOL!
My old alma mater was the blue tornado,,But I would have never done that..... I live now in the hills of Alabama 😎 and Tornado are through here frequently....not much will survive these ominous storms....That is a really sexy instrument the patina and that fret board awesome 😎... that Girl needs to be copied....
Just saw JJN playing Dorothy supporting Nita Strauss and BLS in Casper WY..... fantastic show and JJN is one hell of a nice guy!
When It tornadoes it pours. Next Tornado '52,... look me up please! Jared is good already...
Hey Trogly, are you gonna do a video about Jerry Cantrell’s Gibson “Wino” Les Paul Custom??
yes
@@Trog HELL YEA MAN!! 🤘😆
I like the ruby tornado on the headstock better than the knob idea as I'm a traditional kinda guy and just love the way a les paul looks even the knobs
Never saw an ES-175 trapeze tailpiece on an original 1952 Goldtop. Strange.
Oh boy.. I think that fretboard grain is a bit too busy for that particular LP. looks quite modern and out of place. oh well, glued, screwed and tattooed now..
Gibson would probably do a custom shop, USA, & Epiphone models of Dorothy. A big opportunity like this is a waste to pass
I keep thinking wasn’t there an owner of this guitar before the tornado? You’d think they would have wanted it back. So glad it was fixed but still that was somebody’s. Maybe it was forgotten in an attic.
What happends to the real Owner? Even it's in a Rubble of a Tornado it's someones Property!
I live within a few miles of where this tornado hit. The area was devastated. It blows my mind how this guitar looks now.
Hey! Just now seeing this. The shot at 8:47 I filmed in Nashville and sent to Jared! Loved this video putting the whole story together. Such a special guitar!

Totally rad dude
The cheap wooden houses in the US always remind me of the wolf and 3 pigglets. Baffeling how such a great country has some things so poorly executed.
I have a 1952 golden top Les paul that needs restored. It has two different types of wood in the body and the neck was shaved down to a small profile instead of the usual thick necks. It’s has a long story to it.
Gotta cover “Like A Hurricane”, Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Gotta give them credit for not lying and trying to claim it was a piece of rock and roll history smashed by Pete Townshend back in the 60s😉👍
Are those inlays on Dorothy kind of pale blue in hue? The shade reminds me of GOT. The guitar was raised from the dead by the Night King.
I think two ruby sparkle knobs would have been cooler than the weird tornado on the back of the headstock. Looks like a bunch of grapes to me.
Awe c'mon cause the finish is too excellent already.
That's one hell of a way to relic a guitar
I wonder if some lucky guy ended up finding the neck in the rubble!
Honestly...The Back is my favorite part
Looks like he did the face of the headstock himself, as there’s an X-acto knife blade laying on it in one of the photos.
Wow what a story ' what a great job ...and what a fantastic tone ' ...the Wicked Witch didn't get this one 'ding dong the Paul is back'
Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that the luthier retro fitted a stopbar tailpiece into the top instead of the more traditional looking aluminium arch top type bridge? like, I'm not complaining, the luthier did an amazing job but not a lot of people seem to notice this modification
That's awesome. I agree, the metallic red knobs would be a nice touch.
I met jared yesterday he was kind enough to let me have a go on Dorothy🔥 its truly piece of work🤘🏼
Big of Matthew wanting to keep guitar docs name secret. I have found his word is no good.
It looks like they put holes in the top for the bridge that does not have a foot. The origional bridge was floating and only held in position by the downward string pressure.

Bonjour, une Gibson qui à pris une tornade dans la tronche, un début de restauration et après plus rien je vois pas l'intérêt de la vidéo 😎
Just to think the original neck could be out there impaled in someone’s roof or stuck up in a tree somewhere
Dorothy can be seen in the newest PG Rig Rundown with JJN :)
My favorite Les Paul is the trapeze 52-53
the new fender custom shop light relic les paul
Posted on reverb as slightly used,,
I saw him in Reno in May 1 and he was playing this guitar. Sounded amazing
The original neck is kindling for the fireplace by now if you can even find it.
That’s not restoring , that is a con job. Unless you keep it.
That's a Kahler not a floyd, if that warranty is to be believed.
2 ruby red sparkly knobs I would heartily endorse
@10:05 is that gonna be an update on the wrecked LP that had the truss rod exposed at the back of the neck?
Glad they left the look. Call it the Tornado
Dude.....that guitar was beat up before the tornado
