Some pretty cool Gibsons at this auction - Would you like a follow up episode on the Fenders / Other brands? 🟢My Website: www.troglysguitarshow.com 🔴Reverb: tidd.ly/4aFiyhC ❓Private Help Sessions: troglysguitarshow.com/help-appraisals/
I am seventy four years old. I had started collecting guitars after Woodstock 69'.I was a roofer and I played blues. Every penny I had went to guitars. Mainly 50's electric Gibson's. I had 160 of the finest guit-fiddles I could find. Trying to keep it quietly done became a bit tough. By 1974 I had way too many people calling me for these classics too buy or sell. Went quiet. Sold only to collectors and one sales guy. I do not like speculators. I advertised to buy in city and college newspapers around the USA. I had six Gibson sunbursts at one time. I sold many of the guitars I had. I still have a handful of these wonderful music machines. I never bought a guitar for over fifteen hundred dollars. That style of hunting guitars will not work today. I loved it. I am retired now. Thank you guitar lovers for giving me so much to live for.
Wow thats excellent buddy "That style of hunting guitars will not work today" Yes things have become a lot more expensive, but although remote there are still bargains out there ready to surface.. All the best to you :)
I heard a story of a guy back in the 70s calling every music store in the country. He asked if they had a 50's Flying V to sell and he found one . He was able to buy it.
@@windowgirl7300 hey, he's 74 years old, don't be speaking alphabet to him, geez Yer too lazy to type out a few words, I'm guessing he would not sell to you. Kidz (face palm)
This is a DISGRACE that anybody would collect more than a dozen guitars it's blatant idolatry fgs there's NO need to have so many instruments get them to people who can play them poor people in need. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@stanknugget I'll help you out. Sit refers to people/animals, set is for objects. What I can't help you with is your desire to grammar check people on a guitar channel on TH-cam.
As always the bizarre logic of the current market is: Real aging of actual vintage equipment = the price goes down. Counterfeit/Fake aging of new equipment from the Murphy Lab = the price is quadrupled. Makes 0 sense.
I once met a man who was liquidating a friends deceased husbands collection. There were at least 70 guitars and about 30 amps. The prices were dirt cheap for the time( 20 years ago) but I was young and broke. I did get a nice Rivera amp but I should have picked up at least one of the les Paul customs. Now that I know what I know about there value I kick myself for not shelling out the 1200 bucks. Oh well we all have the one that got away.
My LES PAUL is there!!! stolen off camp Pendleton Ca in 1979 - that blond rectangle case !!! Black Les Paul Custom with my Ducktown Cross scratched onto the inside of the backplate I want my stolen less paul
The only way these prices are justified is if Gibson disappears then maybe but even then it's stupid your not getting a premium tool for an inflated price .suckers born everyday I guess .
I find it interesting that the white 84 Explorer got poo pooed several episodes ago as not special, but the Union Jack that you have 3 of is a big deal. We all know that you frequently influence the market with this channel, but at least don't be so blatant about it, or maybe try not to abuse that power.
@@shelbyavant5081 The people who overuse it, whilst spewing racist rhetoric it have made it an embarrassment to be seen with. I would have had a union jack guitar in the 1990s, when Britpop music was cool but I wouldn't want to mix with the people it would attract today.
@@alfsmith4936 We have y'all in our country, too. If you're white and patriotic, then it's automatically assumed by the liberal side that you've somehow benefited from a rigged system specifically designed to oppress everyone else. It's crazy how messed up things have gotten. You literally work your whole life to have a little comfort before it's all over, and if you so much as hang the national flag on your house or wear it on your clothes in appreciation for the people who died to give you that chance, then some random Internet snowflake calls you a racist. Clown world.
@@shelbyavant5081 A young guy seen my "Dark Side of the Moon" T-shirt, and asked me if I was gay.... It took me a moment to put it together, because it was a few years ago, and I am kind of old. I had no idea that the rainbow had been hi-jacked. At first, I thought he was just hitting on me, but then I remembered how old and fat I have become! How times have changed. Now I have to wonder about those "Pink" Floyd guys.
I've got a 74 355 Gibson in pretty much the same shape as that Birdland when I got it. It had sat in a case undisturbed under a bed for 25yrs or more without being opened. Believe it or not, despite the corrosion everything works and works without scratchy noises. Pots are smooth and quiet as is the variatione. I was able to get most of the green off too. The finish under where the pick guard used to be (only scraps of it were left) was pretty much shot but it just adds to the mojo and one day I plan to put a new guard on anyways.
I guarantee that Norman's Rare Guitars will be scooping up a lot of these guitars. 8:59 - Homemade plexiglass pickguard. I'd like to find a disgruntled wife divorcee estate sale, selling everything dirt cheap just to piss her ex-husband off !!!
Quite the opposite. Most of those cases haven't been opened in years, which is why many of the pick guards have rotted so badly. A lack of fresh air creates a trap for gasses to eat away at what ever it can corrode.
Most of these are gimmick guitars that I think are just flashy trash...i prefer traditional colors or bursts that are meant to be played and not stored.
Pretty sure these were stolen from small touring bands' vans and cube vans as they stopped for the night at a motel or stopped at a restaurant for lunch and dinner. Every city I have lived in has reports of more bands getting ripped off by thieves that specialize in this niche activity.
Anyone collecting guitars should take note, while looking at this auction, of the importance of properly storing your collection. This collection is really cool but darn, It doesn't seem like this person kept everything in a stable environment. Lots of patina on the chrome of the guitars and lots of surface checking on most also. I think the collection was stored in a coastal region of california. Oh well, i guess it happens.
I make sure to open up all of my Nitro finished guitars for at least a day or two, each year, to allow the gasses to dissipate. I also keep them above freezing at all times, so a storage locker is out of the question. These have all been frozen, likely, many times over, which looks cool, but drastically reduces their values. Such a shame, because resale value is the only real reason to buy so many guitars that you will never play.
now imagined if these were stored properly !! looks like many are grungy as heck !!! i have two rules with my collection... no basement/attic(humidity) and not near a heat source !!!
I find your total obsession with Gibson guitars very boring. Gibson guitars today are not good. I would not buy a Gibson again, their corporate image sucks. Expensive junk.
Lots of cool examples tonight, something for everyone. I cringed when I saw that 70s Byrdland with the hole in the pickguard and the degassing going on... 😵
Fascinating! And now Gibson has come up quite a bit in my book as a creative/artistic guitar company (or at least they were...for quite a while) what with those monthly specials with gorgeous finishes and 'cuts' that are new to me, like 'Florentine. Say Trog, may I borrow $14,000 until next Tuesday/burger day? ;-)
Wow I am a big Gibson EB-0 fan, my first bass was a 66 EB-0. Dad bought it for me at 13 used in 1976 and I thought I new every year and type. I think around 71-72 they had the slot headstock. Never saw a melody maker EB-0 still have mine and would love that bass but I don't have Trolgy money.
Jeff Curran... Really? I never knew that about some of them having the lifting issues with the lacquer off of the Fret ends...yikes! I was tempted to buy one last year that was for sale near me locally. It was practically mint condition and he wanted $1,800 for it. I always liked that one
@@grantcindrich Hey there Grant. 👍😉 Looking over some of these guitars, I wish Gibson would more often use the Flower Pot and Flying Note MOP headstock inlays. Some very cool guitars for sure.
@@hkguitar1984 agreed! The flowerpot for me belongs on just about everything! Been watching this estate all week, that artisan has been on my list but just bought a 1962 strat with gold hardware and ever since I’ve had to dampen my guitar acquisition syndrome. Currently proving a theory that one can live solely on prophylactic top ramen and coffee👍
@@grantcindrich Ha ha ha ha, Funny 'The '62 Strat is near and dear to my heart as it is my birth year. 3 times I passed on purchasing them, that was back in the 1980's................live and learn. I'd like to add, you can survive on the coffee and ramen, a good long while at that. 👍 😉
Oooooh lovely looking collection. Some of those Gibson's look proper ugly though. Might just be the camera angle. However, some of those guitars make me salivate.😁 And also, this is a collection clear out. I wonder what the actual collection looks like and what sort of guitar gets to stay in the "to stay" collection. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Good eye When pickup pole piece screws are rusted there has to be a story as to why. Somebody had to take an extra step to downgrade to that aftermarket bridge, even the stopbar height needs to be adjusted because the strings look to be contacting the saddle adjustment screws. Lots of issues, however for the right price that guitar would be fantastic.
This is one of those auctions with a "soft" close so if there is a bid within the final minute, it just restarts the timer until people stop bidding. This auction it is best to just put your max bid in from the go and leave it up to fate
I am no professional but all of those guitars are in rough shape. That guy had a mint but thought keeping his instruments in the barn was a good idea, what a shame!
Now I’m curious how much my Voodoo V is worth and how many were made - mine’s from the original run with the snakeskin case, but has a headstock repair (stable and well repaired). The V hardly ever seems to come up.
Some times when you have so many guitars that you play one every day and it' becomes a year later you might have guitar madness, I know I do and I love all guitars I want to be buried with my favorite ones guitar nut that would be me.
WRONG 10% sales tax in California???? WRONG try 7.25% which is near ONE THIRD LE$$. Maybe you hate CA, IDK, but accuracy is synonomous with credibility.
I can tell you the serial numbers from the mid 70's on any of the solid bodies Gibson made are somewhat skewed!!!! I have seen Les Pauls with 06 from 1975 and seen 00 from 1975 trends sure the gospel absolutely not!!!!! after 43 years working at the Music store just when you thought you've seen it all something walks in and you go WHOA!!!!!!! I have a red sparkle top Les Paul Deluxe that has a stamped serial number on the headstock pots are dated 1975 in february. I have a pretty good idea how all that happened. After 43 years at the shop expect the unexpected. Everyday is a day to learn something new
I do not even bother looking as the amount of cases alone is worth something for all you crazies out there. Remember. You are Born with nothing and you will die with nothing. Quality over quantity. My wife is a perfect example: worth the effort and eventually the best out there. Perfect fit. Like water and wine. I bet most of you have 20.
I see someone else has made the important year of manufacture, ite super important. this is a 19** Les Paul or SG or Fender Strat that's applicable for every guitar
I own few Gibson Lp and also I have Firebrand sg 1981 which is one of the best Gibson I have owned and played on so good instrument and easy to work on . But all this talk about Gibson is like a religious cult . Today I would never ever buy a new Gibson they are not worth the money they cost . If I would be starting to play today and I needed a good solid instrument I would look at Yamaha today sorry Gibson today is a crap !
All the bunged up screws on the pickups show that an amateur that doesn’t have hollow ground screwdrivers mucked around with most of these guitars, greatly devalued. What else did the wannabe luthier mess with?
The first two so far are melody makers, and so far no mention of the year. Why I'm only able to tell if it's listed in the photo caption. Come on we need to know what makes it vintage guys it's the year it was made. Stop keeping it a secret!
Alot of these guitars needs some rework and California taxes and state sale taxes and shipping. Your talking about 1k plus the sale price.If you're on the east coast this is not a good deal. Good luck towards the sales

wish the sudden glut (well, maybe not quite, but you know...) would cause a drop in price. I want that first Melody Maker but not not for 2 grand
Why is the chickenfoot emblem controversial? Serious question.
I’m going to guess because it’s kind of ugly being placed on the headstock like that. Really limits who is going to buy that guitar.

If I would be starting to play today and I needed a good solid instrument I would look at Yamaha today sorry Gibson today is a crap !
All the bunged up screws on the pickups show that an amateur that doesn’t have hollow ground screwdrivers mucked around with most of these guitars, greatly devalued. What else did the wannabe luthier mess with?
So annoying
Silver Flow !!!!
Yeah, that was pretty nice. The Joe Perry LP caught my eye too.
The first two so far are melody makers, and so far no mention of the year. Why I'm only able to tell if it's listed in the photo caption. Come on we need to know what makes it vintage guys it's the year it was made. Stop keeping it a secret!
Alot of these guitars needs some rework and California taxes and state sale taxes and shipping. Your talking about 1k plus the sale price.If you're on the east coast this is not a good deal. Good luck towards the sales
A group of the ugliest guitars I’ve ever seen…..except the Union Jack explorer
