As a kid learning to play in the mid-‘90s, all the paper brochures, posters, and one-sheets were always so cool to take home from the local shop (the Gibson ones were always so premium feeling). I kind of wish I kept them, at least to see if people would buy them.
There’s a ton of guitar nerds like myself that would love to frame and hang some stuff like that. I had an Epiphone poster on my wall when I started playing around 2008.
Nice collection! It has to feel good to get back a guitar or amp, etc you sold and immediately regreted. I have a Dean Markley K50 amp I later bought a Tweed Extension cab for. I also ran into David Crosby at that seller's table who was present as well. Buying a bunch of DM amps and cabs like me. He said he loved them when we walked out conversing about them. In that yellow/tan color Dean used. I sold it to my nephews who have a popular local band (PA?). If you ever run across one, I need it. Great sound with the amp speaker. I also have a Gibson Flying V in black I customized. Previously owned by Ron Zelle who had a guitar shop in Amherst, OH. He had two of'em in his trunk to gig with for years. I bought the better of the 2 that happened to have been built on my birthday in 1983! What's the odds of finding one like that? It has abalone fret markers too. Original Gibson V case as well.
Please replace the GOLD toggle switch in the Charcoal Metallic Custom. (Sorry, just the QC in me coming out. haha) I always loved the Goldbursts. Have you ever seen one with gold in the center and black on the edges? A few were made.
Love these guitars, and I must say about Sweetwater, they are so excellent. Always buy from them because they really do take good care of you. They have been very cool.
I realize this is more of a collector than a players channel but I'm always curious how the frets are on all these future "museum" pieces that often show up in bunches. I owned several Norlin era Customs back in the day and a lot of them, especially from the 70's were "fretless wonders" with low wide frets to begin with. After 40-45 years of playwear, I'm guessing a lot of the guitars that show up on this channel have worm out frets and probably aren't great players, but the focus always seems to be on cosmetics.
That 335 cosmic stew would be a dream guitar if it didn’t have the f-holes. It would be great to see you do a run down of all the ‘cosmic stew’ models out there.
So there you go. For the year end video this year you can just show us your Les Paul's. Or just the Customs if you would rather. I'm all good. I love a Standard just as much as a Custom anyway.
Awesome fetch, and the Chainsaw cases almost as good as the axes. Goldburst is special, and the Charcoal looks tough. I hope Mr. Kruger can save the 12 gauge mishap - might have some redemption for original owner. Ü♫
the les Pauls are beautiful everyone of them. i have one Les Paul custom. its a 81 cherry sunburst. i dont like the black plastics on customs so i bought from george gruhn all the cream pieces plus 2 dimarzio pickups, super distortion bridge and Paf for the neck. i love the look. ace frehley style. also bought a 90s brown case from him to replace the chainsaw case. this was in 1990. still have it plays great. it has the winder tuners as well. looks great plays great and thats what i like
That first silver les. Frothing at the mouth. Then. Non original example. You cut me deep Trogly. I get the buy back scenario. Lost a Gretsch BST. 1000, with Dimarzio pups. Damn thing imprinted on me. How I judge incoming gems. Anyone got bandaides. Anywhat. Can’t say that Silver Les don’t push all the buttons. Is Minty elegance. 😊
Funny how I don’t like Gibson guitars and I keep watching your channel hahaha I actually watch a lot of your content .. but I’m a Music Man guy. But I like those that looks like George Bensons Ibanez. I kinda like sg too
Oh no those shorts clash with Gibson gear, the Trog needs to wear only Gibson branded swag .. nice touch for his new gig....tour guide at the Trogster Gibson museum... Totally appropriate!
Being a viewer that has been watching since back in the carpet shows? I always thought there were a few guitars that you ultimately sold, that I thought you should kept. like for instance the guitar that was specially built for you. because that guitar will always have a link to you.
4:14 Trogly, that's awesome you got the harvest gold back! I have an '81 that I made a TH-cam shorts video of, and posted about it on the mylespaul forum years ago. It looks just like this one except it has the foldout winding arms on the tuning pegs. The Orange peel/textured finish on the back of mine appears to be more prominent as well. I hope you make an updated review of it 🤘
Love that overall silver Les Paul Custom 25th anniversary model! Never knew it even existed! Hope to see you do a review of this one Trogly! Looks like you got back some nice gems! 👌
omg the map in the beginning with the lil trogly head.... that was so friggin cute :D also, so relevant. ALSO also....*could this be the haul from mr gold's place?????* :D :D :D yesssssssssssssss i think it might be! excited for this one!
Been a follower for a LONG time, thanks for ALL the great videos & history. I'm only a state away from you! Hope to see your museum in the future & maybe sell you some of MY collection. Cheers!
Whenever you say "Cosmic Stu/Stew" I can't help but think of "Disco Stu" from The Simpsons..Then I imagine a Les Paul or SG done up all Disco Stu style...Doh😎
Iv'e always thought gold hardware looked tacky... Just my personal opinion. I would never buy a guitar with gold hardware or a red guitar. My personal nightmare... A red guitar with gold hardware.😆
Just saw that you are in or near Cincinnati...would like to know if you bought among others a, Not sure of the year but, a Black with 3 gold pickups LP...that PETER FRAMPTON Signed...it took up almost the Entire Back?? And you bought it (& others) from my friends wife after Scott has passed away??? If that was You... Please Hit ME up!!
Gibson dropped the ball on the Dave Mustaine Rust in Peace 30th Anniversary Signature Flying V EXP in "Alien Tech Green Burst" by promoting them for over a year then not releasing the "Burst" version and also having Quality Control issues with the paint on almost every guitar they released in that run. That is "Why" Gibson has had trouble selling Dave's Signature Series OVERPRICED guitars. Maybe if Gibson did an actual reissue of the 84-87 XPL Flying V (which is what Dave's Vs are modeled after) at an affordable price point they could get buyers interested in Flying Vs again. But then again I'm just a dumb old guitar nerd so what do I know?
You need to reach out to Mike Sullivan from Russian Circles he has a puter custom stolen (clearly a different guitar) but I bet he would be interested.
Thank you Trogly!!! Finally I solved the mystery of my 82’ SG standard. The bridge pickup is the Bill Lawrence cirkuit board HB-L (~13K) . The neck pickup (7,3 K), has the PAT on the bass plate with nickel screws, so it’s the PU490. Somebody probably swapped the original Tarbacks to late 80’s pickups from another model. Thank you again Trogly!

Can't wait til your museum is ready, I will make the drive down from Canada to see that, hoo boy!
unboxing #5 - killer. I had an explorer in that pewter grey finish. WISH I could get that back.
14:54 beautifulllll i remember you doing this V before! : )
Please replace the GOLD toggle switch in the Charcoal Metallic Custom. (Sorry, just the QC in me coming out. haha) I always loved the Goldbursts. Have you ever seen one with gold in the center and black on the edges? A few were made.
Keep the charcoal metallic. All great guitars on this post. Should of kept the cosmic stew.
Love these guitars, and I must say about Sweetwater, they are so excellent. Always buy from them because they really do take good care of you. They have been very cool.
That yellowed over silver anniversary is a cool one....perfect to be a player.
Can you rout the neck out of a set neck? And replace it?
Loving that Schenker V.

Cosmic Stew = Bowling Ball Burst

I miss seeing the boxing videos of guitars you sell. Nice to see them again as you say goodbye.
5:56 oh, this thing is cool!! what a neat finish.
I’m in love with the yellowed finish one

Dont you hate people who buy stuff just to sell them for a higher price?

Hey there
Greetings Random
I so enjoy your videos! Congratulations on your acquisitions! Rock On!
I'd say that heavy aged 25th is definitely level 4, the aging turned it into gold and gave it some new personality!

I'm sure the seller took a hit.
Nah, he about doubled his money on 3 three of them and made a small profit on the other two
I loved the sound of the cosmic stews pick ups!!! Were they t tops!??😳🤔
“Calibrated T-Type” - gibsons modern take on the old ttops
Can you purchase them & put them in a standard 60’s reissue!??😳🤔
