I'm proud of Gibson, this week. They had something for every taste, I'm going to wear my Gibson shirt this week, I can hold my head up and dream of next demo custom day.
10:44 - It’s not right for online stores to picture stock photos and send you a box of whatever. They should have to picture what they’re selling (like Sweetwater and Anderton’s does). That’s just my opinion, but once burned, twice shy.
I do the "put it on the watch list and wait a day" for pretty much everything I buy on Reverb. About a quarter of the time I'll get an offer either from the seller or one of their competitors.
Austin; The discount on Gibson demo shop offerings almost brings them down to used prices, but that demo stamp is a permanent handicap. How much do you think it affects resale value ? Have you ever personally bought a demo shop guitar?
I've got a LP Custom kit and I've always wanted silverburst, but I decided to do something different and do a Pelham burst finish since I'd never seen that. I guess I'm late to the party.
i saw a 50s LP in candy berry burst and i fell in love immediately. If i had a perfect life where I had the money and didn't live in Brazil where the taxes cost double the guitar i would buy it instantly :(
I own a 2000 Les Paul with a gorgeous blue and yellow crackle paint job. So that crackle Explorer was something else, but for me the dot inlay and no doubt baseball bat neck profile, was a mood killer.
when you mention the pelham burst and richlite / rosewood reigning suprume until 2019, did you mean rosewood was the popular wood? Or richlite? I thought it was richlite?
Mr. Troglyman. Please , please my good man , Would You please tell us what the "pick ups" are if they are other than the normal model ones. A lot of the mod and demo shop guitars have special electronics etcetera etc. A BIG Thanks. It's one of the main things a player would want to know. Thanks again for the videos and take care dudes
That crackle finish is very hard to get right, if you overdo it you cant get a decent clear coat on it, especially when shooting a nitro finish over it!
I had an epiphone les paul, nuclear extreme that looked like that crackle explorer, back about 20 year's ago. Took the pick guard off it and had, Paul Stanley sign it. Regret selling it though. But my son was being born, so needed the money
Big fan of that green Explorer, personally. I think Gibson has an opportunity to do some really interesting finishes on the 80's Explorer and V, and it's good to see the Mod Shop feels the same way lol.
Shame about the bocchi custom. I would've paid in full or more for it but lost the lottery as well. Do hope they maybe make proper Gibson or custom shops like with the yuto goryos
I love that crackle finish on a guitar. The Zinnia would looked great if the did even a simple burst like that did with the Pelham Blue . I can't recall what one it was but the point where you said imagine ordering this and getting this. I'll say like you say often. I would think I won the lottery on that guitar.
Never was a Gibson guy, never was into the Les Paul. Got my first Flying V last week, been binge watching you since. I definitely see the appeal of Gibson and the Les Paul’s, beautiful instruments. Thanks for changing my heart with these 🔥
thanks for posting. the mod/repaint shop guitars dont do anything for me especially with the large premiums. the demo shop has some nice looking guitars and the prices are good.
The Lady Bug Explorer is cool but as an old school wrestling fan swap the red accents for yellow accents and you would have a killer Dusty Rhodes tribute Explorer
The only company doing good factory crackles in the past few years is jackson. Too small and uniform crackles look horrible like the stranger things warlocks...looks like montana can crackle
Damn, would never have expected a crackle finish from Gibson. Props to them for taking the plunge, Jackson has been absolutely killing it with those finishes recently
Better to have a smooth neck, you would feel the crackle and guitars are made to be played ;-) Also, Gibson is watching Trogly to make sure Gibson are up to date on Gibson, Not exactly but must have a good reputational standing now at gibson, if they are concerned he is putting out correct information.
one thing is for sure...there won't be a shortage of Gibson guitars this year......and Trogly...go easy....its only just been new year.....still 357 more days to buy guitars....
Stupid Affirm is tied to an old email and phone number I no longer have, and the CS team claimed they fixed it but didn't, otherwise that Bengal would be mine. I prefer it darker and without the yellow. FML.
the only problem with this series is me seeing finishes i want to put on my builds and then buying paints and the wife getting more and more simmeringly angry
That Pelham blue burst with blacked out hardware is awesome. If I had a signature Gibson, that would be my color.
I’m so sick of hearing about Adam Jones and Silverbursts.
Silverburst used to be one of my favorite finishes of all time now I hate it
Preach!
Who's Adam Jones?
@@badhairdaaveThe guitarist for the band tool
I still love Silverburst, but only the brand new Custom Shop Gloss version. They are becoming rare. Gibson hates making gloss Customs

the purple hue on the zinnia custom is amazing
I do the "put it on the watch list and wait a day" for pretty much everything I buy on Reverb. About a quarter of the time I'll get an offer either from the seller or one of their competitors.
Sadly my luck with that is I’ll get a competitor’s offer, but even with their discount, it’s still priced higher than the one I’m watching. 😢
Have you seen the demonstration les paul on reverb it's got a bunch of pickups with it and the original display stand you should check it out
That purple 335 looked great
Pelham Blue Burst for me
I wonder how they got a B5 (which is meant for flat tops) on an archtop?

same here
That pelham blue burst is a WIN 🤤
Agree!
Does the MOD and DEMO stamp hurt resale?
Peiham Burst .. oooh
I own a 2000 Les Paul with a gorgeous blue and yellow crackle paint job. So that crackle Explorer was something else, but for me the dot inlay and no doubt baseball bat neck profile, was a mood killer.
How come you never got a les Paul dark fire
They're pretty n all. But for that kind of money? I'm buying an ESP all day
when you mention the pelham burst and richlite / rosewood reigning suprume until 2019, did you mean rosewood was the popular wood? Or richlite? I thought it was richlite?
That Gold Crackle, I'd buy two of those, Gibson should do a run!
I've bought from tone shop addison in person! A few months back!
The Pelham Blue was my favorite! If I only had $5000 laying around! Lol

I just favorited one of the older 60s unburst models and they sent me a 20% off offer within 20 minutes.
No SGs this week. What is going on?
Why did you stop passing out metals for the first 3 comment?
I always enjoyed that! 🤪
Z is for late 😂
Be fun if they did do more USA Adam Jones LP, but also did a limited run in reverse silverburst too (even if he’s never played one like that.)
The Explorers need Ebony fingerboards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like the Fools Glow and thought about it but11 pounds.....outch
So are these one off Gibson Custom Shop guitars? What are we looking at here?
@@cataclysmicconverter no kiddin'? Thanks, I had no idea. 👍

It's leopard wey.... ILLEGAL LEOPARD.

Good man, at least you got that going for you eh?
Z is for late.
Howdy Sgt
I wonder what it would be like to just have 5 grand laying around ready to jump on one
That crackle finish just reminds me of an 80's Jackson.
They are literally just doing a Jackson Crackle Kelly and charging 5 plus times the price.
Wonderful.....fire crackle like charvel/Jackson did in the mid 80s...Gibson just keeps on innovating
So they are basically just showing love to a Jackson Crackle Kelly? Not exactly groundbreaking or original.
Yo
I’m shadowbanned
They made a Jackson. I like it
The Blood moon satin is a beast! reminds me of my 2014 brilliant red burst LP studio. To damn sad I ain't got the money to make that shot :/
I am kind of shocked Trog didn't jump on that Lady Bug Explorer with his affinity for animal themed guitars...maybe it's just the Les Paul's????
That cracked was sick!!! They need to do more production stuff like that
Might just be the finish but it looks like the crackle Explorer is shaped more like a legit 80's Explorer.
I remember when this crackle paint was popular in the 70’s
i like the voodoo pick ups but im glad they left the skully off
I see Gibson finally found the Krylon crackle paint.
Big fan of that green Explorer, personally. I think Gibson has an opportunity to do some really interesting finishes on the 80's Explorer and V, and it's good to see the Mod Shop feels the same way lol.

I considered that purple Les Paul Custom. But I bought one in a similar color about 6 months ago. Whoever got it should be very happy.
Hope Phil Demmel was able to snatch that ladybug one…
That Hammered Gold '80s Explorer looks awesome.
So where's the reverse headstocks!!??!!!??!!?! These Explorer's (especially the '80's) need some reverse headstocks!!!......
I’m not a troglodyte

Peace Peace Hector✌️✌️
@@sgt.grinch3299 ✌️
Don't know about 80's but does look like a 90s samick

I never half step cause im not a half stepper….i drink a lot of soda so they call me Dr Pepper
Standard TH-cam algorithm comment (purple LP).
I have an '80s charvel Jackson in that finish, firecrackle
I do too. 1985 I believe. Sick looking guitar
Goes to show you how much Trogly has grown in influence, when Gibson is watching your show and emailing you directly. …. flex my brother , flex !

Good show

How do you mean?
Not a silver burst fan
That crack-a-lacker looks like Stitch Jones guitar.
Y'all remember Stitch, right?
The prince of punk, the earl of funk, the king of rock n roll?
Purple Custom was my Winner 🏆👍🤘
Normally dont like Pelham but the burst is nice!
Love the crackle Explorers!
I have an Epi Les Paul that has a similar crackle finish
Never was a Gibson guy, never was into the Les Paul. Got my first Flying V last week, been binge watching you since. I definitely see the appeal of Gibson and the Les Paul’s, beautiful instruments. Thanks for changing my heart with these 🔥
i have a pet turtle that bites so hard he will draw blood
Wow that crackle Explorer is effin sweet!
Explorers are so ugly… Let alone these hideous finishes
The crackle stinger was really cool
❤
Silverburst ? Explorer ? Dethklok Thunderhorse. Of course.
Should of put a kahler on that crackle explorer 🤙🤘🤘🤘
And bring back the 425 hss explorer 🤙
I think that crackled finish looks great on an explorer, possibly a flying vee too. I personally can't see it on a les paul though.
Jackson already did it years ago.
Trogly, I shouldn't have to tell you this but you should be buying those, one off explorer's
That gold crackle explorer was insane. They should make a production version
Why won't Gibson just keep these as standard colors? Outside of the Kraft-Single yellow 😄, I loved 'em all.
The crackle finish is cool. Gibson is late to the game on it, but better late than never 😂
Yeah about 40 years late!!! 😂
thanks for posting. the mod/repaint shop guitars dont do anything for me especially with the large premiums. the demo shop has some nice looking guitars and the prices are good.
WOW .. nice explorer.
Anime Gibson would be interesting and appeal to some niche market. gotta say Official Gibson LP for Beck Anime would be good.
The Lady Bug Explorer is cool but as an old school wrestling fan swap the red accents for yellow accents and you would have a killer Dusty Rhodes tribute Explorer

Dear Gibson, Please keep these types of finishes coming!! PLEASE!!!!!!
one thing is for sure...there won't be a shortage of Gibson guitars this year......and Trogly...go easy....its only just been new year.....still 357 more days to buy guitars....
I’m sad about the Adam I bought one , I thought it would have an investment 😂. And I don’t even like tool
"hammered gold Crack le" is the most 80s+rockstar name for a finish LOL
