Get a load of the figuring on the 50's Trans Fuscia demo/chipped unit on sweetwater right now. So pissed i cant afford it. It turns a polarizing color into a stellar win. If it looked as good in motion under trogly workbench lighting I'd be out there getting pay-day loans or putting a lien on the car.
That moto finished Les Paul was an absolute horror show , train wreck , and excuse my French F@#% up. Was glad someone got a hold of it and cleaned it up.
I love ya austin but that big Ed has absolutely nothing to do with skynyrd lmao Ed king never played an explorer and Allen collins didn’t buy his explorer til nearly a year and 1/2 after Ed quit the band and his looked nothing like that one.
🤣🤣🤣 No. when are you going to bench the new Purple burst standard? The pics from Gibson aren’t great. I’m dying to buy it but I would LOVE to see one first and hear your breakdown. I love your show, I’m a working player not a collector. I buy one Lester and one Strat per year. You provide a hell of a service🤘👍🤘
What a hunk of junk. I wouldn't give a dime for that abomination. Any one that was buying and playing in the 70's and 80's know what I am talking about.
Artist from the 1970s were never scared to modify their Guitars back in the day thinking that they might ruin the resale value as nobody thought that way back then. Collector guitars were not a "thing" back in those days and guitarist did do crazy modifications on guitars that we would NEVER think of doing today. Joe Walsh modified his EDS-1275 (Unknown year, maybe a special order from the early 70s) as his had a cutawy to access the lower frets on the 6 string side and he also removed pickup covers and switched up tuners to make the guitar both 6 strings at one point in time. Amazing that there isn't any official story from Joe or Gibson to set the story straight, it is a legendary guitar that survived being dropped on stage during the US Festival in 1983 and all the drug fuueled recording sessions back in the Eagles days.
Big Ed has nothing to do with Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was owned by Big Ed Thompson and later by Rick Vito. The double guard v was owned by Big Ed’s brother Ople and later also owned by Vito.
The bridge on that Custom looks like it’s got the slotted posts commonly found on Asian made guitars like my LP copy And below that it looks like the goof hiders you sometimes see on 70s LPs
😮 Looks like the "residue" is Liquid Nails used to keep that MOTO in place. 🤣 Trogly on the double neck: "I wouldve never been brave enough to do that." (Saws double neck in half 😄😆)
that MOTO LP looks like it was a brilliant fixer-upper but i think i gotta give it to that BEAUTIFUL aged explorer. that was a thing of beauty. BTW i just read that an original (one of the first in UK) Fender P-Bass was just discovered after laying under someone's bed for 50 years. i'd love to hear that story. *hint-hint*
Bailed after the first few seconds. Ugly mess doesn't come close to a description; I literally was getting a nauseous feeling in 5 seconds realizing one greasy spoon diner is missing some counter top. Yuk. Now besides the usual Gibson crap tuneability, it matches that visually. I will sue you for assault if you ever show another crapfest like this. 👀
I have a low serial number first year 1999 Radiator. I swapped out the neck PU with a Duncan Pegasus PU, it was designed for Prog Metal and I use it so. I have a toaster style PU cover on it to keep with the 50's ascetic. The Radiator is a very close take on a 50's Magnatone MKIII guitar. The whole guitar is maple both body and neck. Except where the neck to bridge is the whole guitar is routed out. The only top it has is that huge pickguard. The neck has 24 frets and is almost as thin as an Ibanez wizard neck. Oddly enough the neck never moves. It never needs a set up. The neck stays as straight as a dime and the intonation never even needs a tweak.
The back film resembles the tacky thin plastic some people would cover their books with in high school in the mid to late 80's instead of brown paper grocery bags or book covers you would get from the school supply store or the ones you'd get from recruiters, especially Air Force recruiters because freshman liked the picture of the F-16 on them and everyone else thought the Air Force slogan at the time was funny----AIM HIGH. Do they still cover school books?
So, I hear there is supposed to be a Jake kiszka signature SG sometime. Do you know anything about it or when it is supposed to come out? Lovin your videos! Keep it up!
Anybody notice the weird transition cut from the 3 pickup "The V" and the Historic Makeovers Explorer ?
yeah lol
Thought I missed something 😅
I scrolled down to see if anyone else had noticed he messed up the editing too lol
Yeah a cutting mistake, happens ... but no big deal
Calling that middle pickup cavity a "route" is an insult to routers. Its more of a crater.
The Gibson with the messed up logo you showed us looks like it originally said "Gibsen" instead of "Gibson."
The back plastic was shower curtain, in keeping with the moto top.
The toilet strat looked bitchin. On the L.P. I would've covered the knob hole with a piece of the toilet overlay, seems proper.
It's a Gibson with a lisp.
The Moro LP, it kind of looks like someone tried to make a home made Ace Frehley signature.
Need to install a kill switch in that extra hole.
How do you satisfy a rebuild. Not the way your examples did theirs.

Man, that native instruments LP is awesome. They make great sound libraries.
How does the Moto abbreviation deemed to be “mother of toilet seat”? It seems
that MOTS would bea a more accurate abbreviation?
I liked the MOTO LP!
I need to find that listing for the Native Instruments Guitar bro damnnnnn
Back in the 70s I used to airbrush speaker covers with space scenes or beach scenes, just about anything the customer wanted!
yeahmans is the local dude he has really interesting stuff i buyed 3 guitars from him
That double neck is fake!
Be cool to see a full Gibson MOP guitar
The resto-project of the MOTO LP turned out pretty nice in my opinion.
That moto finished Les Paul was an absolute horror show , train wreck , and excuse my French F@#% up. Was glad someone got a hold of it and cleaned it up.
Dang I never would have thought I'd want a pearloid strat but holy moly that was cool!
I love ya austin but that big Ed has absolutely nothing to do with skynyrd lmao Ed king never played an explorer and Allen collins didn’t buy his explorer til nearly a year and 1/2 after Ed quit the band and his looked nothing like that one.
The “moto” strat you showed looked good; I wonder how it looks after it shrinks. The blue custom was pretty nice too
that blue Lp was refinished 10 miles from my home!

Z is for late and retired. The double neck was very strange. I don’t like it.
9:50 Now that is a beautiful sapphire blue Custom! 😊 I’d like one of those, please! 😂
Funny to see vintage Yamaha SG knobs

Looks to me like somebody took the finish wrap off their floor tom and stuck it on a guitar.

Always good to see South Side guitars featured. They have some great vintage gear.
Woot woot Trogly's guitars 🎸 🙌

Hey Trogly I think when you were editing you snipped a little too much between the V and Explorer.
The native instruments guitar would have been cool, imo if it was a epiphone ultra 3 les Paul
Must be a flying V
That transition is real rough and abrupt at 8:28 ! Unless you’re editor is doing smash cuts now… 😂
That's the 50s-70s era slide show effect. On second glance I found it nostalgic. lol
I love people who trash guitars.
Troglodytes assemble for our daily dose of guitar information 🤘
See ya again tomorrow!
