I tried to reach you on Facebook. I am trying to find my great grandfathers old Gibson acoustic that he turned into an electric. My only reference is my grandmother and pictures, so it's kind of hard to find. I thought maybe I could come to you, it's probably expensive it would be cool to get it put it's just as good enough to see it. I was just wondering if you could even help finding it
Yes! That top is perfect. Most of the original 59’s didn’t have AAAA “Monster Tops”. I think he’s going to be happy with that R9. The 60th anniversary R9’s are phenomenal guitars. Totally a fair trade on both ends.
It was great that you got an ES 235. I am one of the lucky ones who got one. Mine is Gloss Ebony. Have you found much information on these, as in numbers produced, how long were they made? Looking forward to seeing it on the bench.
I know what you mean, I had my eye on a silverburst about a year ago but decided to go for an 04 black beauty that I got for a pretty good price. Awesome guitar, wouldnt trade it for anything but still, the mark up on the silverbursts is just stupid. Not the first time its happened and I'm sure it wont b the last 🤷♂️
Are you familiar with a telecaster that had an all mahogany body , and completely redesigned Humbucker pick ups and a volume and tone control for each one? kind of like a custom but not.
By trade fo you mean “buy and sell”? Or literally trading? If I buy high dollar stuff, I use PayPal credit. Even if I can afford to pay for it outright. Most sites (reverb/eBay) have great buyers protection in place already. But I use PayPal credit as an additional layer of protection. If something goes south, PayPal will have your back because it’s their money you’re using. Lol. Then if everything is fine when I get the guitar, I pay off my PayPal in one lump some since I had the money anyways. And PayPal usually offers 12 months 0% interest, so it doesn’t cost you any extra. Once you’ve been burnt, you learn real quick how to outsmart the system. If I’m literally trading (guitar for guitar), I’ll try to make it an “in person” situation. Trading online sight unseen can be a risky proposition. All you can do is make sure the person you are bartering with has a solid reputation and good feedback. And you’ll have to make an arrangement that if either party is unhappy, you both return the item or come to some sort of compensation arrangement. If you’re trading with a big fish (like Trogly) you’ll be in a position to send your guitar to them first. Until you too become a big or bigger fish yourself. Good luck 👊🏻
Les Paul #1 - I'd call that a "Gold-top-burst" finish. The '34 burst needs a paint job on top. Especially when the wood on the back is so beautiful, it's kind of a bring down.
I dig Adam Jones and everything, but I am not a fan of The Silverburst Les Paul. Different strokes for different folks. It is my least favorite color and it's definitely not on my bucket list. 9:00 - The Gibson 235 was technically my first guitar. It was a regular tobacco burst with a red stained back. I put a German Iron Cross water slide decal on the front and posed in the mirror while playing my favorite records !!! Lemmy would have been proud of me !!! My dad got it for himself by trading an aluminum boat, motor and trailer for it. He gave it to me a couple years later, but I never learned how to play on this guitar. The guitar that I learned how to play on was a Gibson SG Special that I purchased used.
I've been listening to a lot of Soundgarden since I watched the Cornell video. Like Rush, they were smooth with odd time signatures, making the song flow like an even meter. Thanks!
Lemon looks simultaneously classic and new innovative at the same time. Fascinating, putting the L7 finish on a Les Paul-style guitar. The burst looks like the end of a tunnel.
I just picked up an Epiphone Tommy Thayer white lightning Les Paul. Damn. I really enjoy playing this. The weight is great, a nice chunky slab of wood, the neck shape is killer, I love playing it. What LP model is it based on? What is the neck? 50's or 60's? I just want to know, because I might want to become an LP guy now, I can understand how people form a connection. The one I got is beat to hell and back, headstock repair, snapped off pickup switch, but I can not deny that I love it all the same. Anyone have info, let me know
i purchased a Les Paul Standard 60s model this year. However i think i would have been happier with the 50s Standard. What do you think about an even trade off? Why or why not ? thank you for your vids
I used to own a 83 or 84 silverburst back in the late 80s that had the TP6. I haven’t seen many others over the years that had it. This one looks exactly like it. I wonder it is the same one. I have always regretted selling it...
diggin' the chevron flame on that '59 reminds me of Ace Frehley \m/ EDIT: so cool to see a 235 (in the best finish too)! was wondering what happened to those...
To me that 34 burst only looks right on a BIG body like a L5 or Super 400. I’ve been looking at semis a lot lately. I really want something in between my Les Pauls and my 335. I really think my next real guitar purchase (I can’t resist the occasional cheaper used projects for fun) will end up being a es339 figured in the traditional cherry. It’s kind of strange but I don’t like new silverburst at all but aged they look like a gold burst that I like.
Hey Trogly !! i found a silver burst at a local guitar shop. its been around for a while as it was a 25 year anniversary custom for the House of Guitars in Rochester NY!!! dude told me they might end up listing it ! i think I may have to jump on it haha
Since I’ve been watching your site, I’ve actually bought into a local music store, a small guitar shop in Bunnell Florida. You’re right, reputation is everything. I would never send a guitar to someone to look at for trade, 90% of time I would never get the other guitar or the money. Being reputable is everything, we’re hyper aware of every move we make. Thanks for all your info, much of it has been useful to us. And I could’ve bought a silver burst a year ago for 1200, kicking myself for NOT BUYING IT!
Ok, I just found your channel and I find it informative and relaxing to watch. I just purchased a Harley Benton HB-35Pluse Vintage Burst. Now I know A high-end guitar guy like you deals mostly in really nice guitars. I just returned to playing on the regular but couldn't justify paying the coin for The Gibson it's a copy of. It plays really nice though and I have a friend who is going to be doing some upgrades for me a bit at the time. I find myself in need of a case for my new 'Sweetie'. Any ideas for a guy on a budget?
Check Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. Usually the people that have a guitar case to sell don’t have a guitar to put in it. So it’s easier to haggle on an item they have little use for. But eBay and reverb can have some good deals every now and then. Check Letgo and OfferUp too for decent local deals.
Personally I wouldnt upgrade that guitar unless you can't see yourself playing anything else. If you are going to pay on worthwhile upgrades, the parts are going to cost more than the guitar and if/when you come to sell it, the return wouldnt be that great. Honestly, the best option is to play the life out of that guitar and save your monies for something better. You dont have to spend the world on a better guitar and you can get some good second hand deals with a little research and information. Have fun 😁👍
I don't get the prices of some of these guitars nowadays. my 04 LP studio prem plus,(root beer) plays and looks great. also 60 LP jr. cuts threw any mix. I've been playing for 58 years now and really like their sound and playability.....love the show. rrr
I still can't get my head around silverburst, I don't get people's attraction to it, I think it's an awful colour. Still, it's not my least favourite. I think you can't get prettier than traditional bursts but I do appreciate the quirkiness of silverburst.
I get that, I love Tool, but still not enough to win me round personally. I suppose every band has it's hardcore fans. It's got to be Ted Nugent's Byrdlands with the florentine cutaway for me. That guitar is what dreams are made of!
Hey man, are you going to review the Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy or any of the other models? Those are really cool, or at least they look and sound really cool.
Hi man, your first unboxing in this vid is my dream guitar... hope I would able to buy it in few years. BTW, loved your “shazam” unboxing😅 That was pretty awesome😂
It’s gone over the edge of fanaticism. The only bad part about it is that I didn’t buy a few Silverbursts in April after corona hit and people were dumping them for 2k or less 😏
Trogly you should fo a personal collection video! Idk if you’ve ever done that before, but id love to see the guitars you keep and have in your arsenal! Cheers hope you’re doing well!
Same. I have original Gibson USA TP6 tailpieces on all my Gibson’s. I even put one on my metric ESP Japan guitar. I just bought some narrow profile locking tailpiece studs to make the conversion. Works like a charm and looks badass to boot. I could’ve bought an Epiphone version for my ESP I guess. But I had a brand (Gibson USA) new gold one laying around. Also, do you have the TP6 with the locking set screws that lock to the posts? I’ve got one, but I can only find them in chrome. Just curious?
@@Wargasm644 no I don’t. I assume it’s similar to the set screws on my Wilkinson roller bridge. I like the idea if hardware not slipping off and scratching during string/pickup changes. I have a few cheap import ones on my overseas guitars. Ibanez iceman, Washburn WI45, Fernandes APG 60, and a couple Chibsons I’ve found on Craigslist and the likes. White and black customs matched all blacked out hardware with emgs. I’m A guitar junkie and mod all my personal guitars. Sometimes buy em cheap just to take em apart and learn or harvest parts or whatever. I usually get most or all the upgrade parts for free or at lest subsidized through all the guitars that pass my hands. The downside is I have about 37 guitars in my small house right now and another arriving Monday. And parts out the wazoo.
@@presmasterflash7555 you must be my doppelgänger 😂. I’m the same way. I customize all my guitars to the max. I put EMG’s in my Gibson Les Paul custom. That a brutal guitar. I’ve got some pretty killer customizations I’ve done. But yeah, I’m a part harvester too. I generally keep all my Gibson stuff in case I ever have to sell it to a beard stroker. They get all bent out of shape when you slap EMG’s in Gibson’s 😂. I’ve only got 1 tailpiece with the set screws. It’s a chrome Gibson USA. I’ve never seen another. All my other ones are non locking. But they definitely help when changing string. You gotta drag those little black fingers across your guitar to get em back on. And nitrocellulose is so damn soft you got to be careful. That’s why I’d like to find more locking style. Thanks for your reply.
@@Wargasm644 yes the dragging is a drag! My SG has EMGs the ones that can be “coil split” and the two “Customs” are actually Chinese knock offs. My Les Paul has a 500T bridge and P90 neck and my The Hawk has a 500T with a Gibson bridge mini humbucker in the neck which works very well with the 500. Both are hot, the mini might even be a ceramic which might be another reason they pair well. Also the minis have a rail under the cover (firebird style) so no phasing issues due to strings not aligning with pole pieces. The 496R is loaded in the bridge of an ‘82/83 Electra Workingman also with a mini in the neck (this one is the neck pup) I’ve had that guitar in several different setups since I got it for $80 in parts back in 1996. Good times good times.
Probably going to change the LP bridge to a 498 soon though. Never played one and I’d like to. Gotta find another Epiphone or something with one to harvest it. Right now I got my eyes on a guitar with a set of Mick Thompson EMTY Duncan’s that I can basically get for free.
Truly I like this channel but I'm just wondering, are there any similar channels to Trogly's that are not totally Gibson oriented? I really like all the tech talk and taking apart guitars but I just don't have any affinity with Gibson or Les Pauls. More Fenders and Gretsches!
Love all the Trogly’s videos but I was wondering, and this is a bit cheeky but, can anyone recommend another guitar channel similar to this? I ask as I am more of a Fender guy.
What's going to happen sooner than later is that 100% of the really well known for years vintage guitars dealers who have online stores/catalogs is that they're going to be forced to sell instruments a bank breaking reductions, this was already starting to happen before the virus with several of them doing bait & switches with instruments every few weeks & or months. They were putting up & taking down the same guitars in what became an obvious rotation, because for the last few years they just weren't selling. I won't go through all of the dealers who practiced this but there is one in Ohio who for decades has been one of the top & most respected vintage dealers in the US & the world, after awhile I noticed the same guitars were disappearing as if they had been sold & then, making a miraculous return to the fray. This was happening with all of the older larger more well respected vintage dealers, & for the past three years now even big box stores like Sweetwater can't even get the amount of stock they once were able to. Hell Sweetwater will promote "new" stock with all the fanfare of a royal coronation but with a "coming soon" disclaimer. Trouble is they very rarely if ever get them in & if they do, they must not get but maybe a handful because within a day or two they then have the disclaimer of "more on the way" Now I've been watching this with Sweetwater & other big box stores & have come to the conclusion that in many instances, they're probably not even expecting to get any. The whole fake price gouging of instruments be they new or vintage by attaching a guitar stars name to them & extolling its fake non-existent rarity along with so called features that are really nothing special is about to bite everyone of these dealers/stores in their collective asses, with this looming mandatory almost half a year lockdown possibly coming, this will be the straw that breaks the completely false vintage guitar market price markups, & the astronomical markups we have seen in new instruments within just this year alone. I cannot see shops both private owned & corporate owned who have weathered this storm so far, surviving through a mandatory almost half a year lockdown. What will happen with the people who bought these falsely overpriced Gibson Silver Bursts both new & vintage that is the latest rock star trend of price gouging, will be nothing less than financial suicide because they're either going to be stuck with them, or forced to sell them for the price of groceries & or personal necessities & or rent/mortgage in the coming months. I wish I could say something positive about all this but this is what happens, when people are part of a problem & not the solution by creating false markets through false means, & then karma steps in & uses mother nature along with corrupt politicians to bitch slap people back into reality. Believe me what's coming, ain't gonna be pretty.

Are you going to review the epiphone R9 being made with the GCS
gibson custom shop?
Yeah, the Epiphone Limited Edition 1959 standard outfit
It is in fact made with collaboration from gibson custom shop
@@tannersparrow5588 i own one of the epiphone r9s that were released ten years ago, if they solve the feedback issues then they will be great
Yes! That top is perfect. Most of the original 59’s didn’t have AAAA “Monster Tops”. I think he’s going to be happy with that R9. The 60th anniversary R9’s are phenomenal guitars. Totally a fair trade on both ends.
I like the florentine, can't afford a Gibby so I just bought a 2014 Epi LP Florentine in honeyburst
"USPS has been awful about on-time deliveries."
Yeah, I wonder why that could be.
Petition to rename iguana burst trogly burst.
I love this channel you deserve a lot more subs
Just thinking that. Killin it lately
That's a nice realistic top for a reissue. They didn't have (for the most part) the ridiculous flametops you see today.
I almost bought a es-235 figured sunburst, then realized that they were mini guitars. Never been happier about not purchasing something
Dude, don't dog the delivery companys. We're in the middle of a pandemic, expect delays
nice gibson custom rug, does it have any neck dive?
Lawyer Morty lol
It was great that you got an ES 235. I am one of the lucky ones who got one. Mine is Gloss Ebony. Have you found much information on these, as in numbers produced, how long were they made? Looking forward to seeing it on the bench.
The flame in that maple is beautiful!!
I really should’ve bought every Silverburst I could’ve back in April after corona hit. Seen them on eBay all day for 1800-2500. The pain is exquisite.

Are you familiar with a telecaster that had an all mahogany body , and completely redesigned Humbucker pick ups and a volume and tone control for each one? kind of like a custom but not.

Finally a 235! YES! I own one, a tabacco burst with a figured top and neck binding, hard shell case. It's sweet.
Les Paul #1 - I'd call that a "Gold-top-burst" finish. The '34 burst needs a paint job on top. Especially when the wood on the back is so beautiful, it's kind of a bring down.

What was the thing you traded the Silverburst for? I didn't understand that :)
that '34 burst was used mostly on ancient old acoustics like the L-00, the Roy Smeck and others...
Top is perfect, its not overstated.
Last unboxing; love the paint job, hate the knobs.
I used to own a 83 or 84 silverburst back in the late 80s that had the TP6. I haven’t seen many others over the years that had it. This one looks exactly like it. I wonder it is the same one. I have always regretted selling it...
Trogly I found my dream guitar! A 1993 (year I was born) Fender Strat AV 57, but best of all, the neck is stamped with MY BIRTHDAY.
Did you buy it
So, the signature edition costs more than the guitar its modeled after??
I’ve had trouble with USPS anytime it went through Phila or NJ it seemed to stop for 4 days.

If I had received that trade from Trogly, I would be more than thrilled. That R9 Gibson was beautiful. Trogly did that guy a solid.
What do you think about gibsons new hard case?
Would rock that 235. I kinda like that 34 burst, just a tiny spotlight in the darkness.
I love the florentine cutaway
Anyone know where you can get the angled padded foam for the headstock areas that was in the R9 case?
Mr Trogly have you ever looked at a Heritage H150 Dirty Lemon burst? Seems like it would make an interesting review. Thank you.

Love that TP6 on a Les Paul. They’re like a top hat on a tuxedo. I put em on all my Gibson’s.
Same. I have original Gibson USA TP6 tailpieces on all my Gibson’s. I even put one on my metric ESP Japan guitar. I just bought some narrow profile locking tailpiece studs to make the conversion. Works like a charm and looks badass to boot. I could’ve bought an Epiphone version for my ESP I guess. But I had a brand (Gibson USA) new gold one laying around. Also, do you have the TP6 with the locking set screws that lock to the posts? I’ve got one, but I can only find them in chrome. Just curious?
@@Wargasm644 no I don’t. I assume it’s similar to the set screws on my Wilkinson roller bridge. I like the idea if hardware not slipping off and scratching during string/pickup changes. I have a few cheap import ones on my overseas guitars. Ibanez iceman, Washburn WI45, Fernandes APG 60, and a couple Chibsons I’ve found on Craigslist and the likes. White and black customs matched all blacked out hardware with emgs. I’m
A guitar junkie and mod all my personal guitars. Sometimes buy em cheap just to take em apart and learn or harvest parts or whatever. I usually get most or all the upgrade parts for free or at lest subsidized through all the guitars that pass my hands. The downside is I have about 37 guitars in my small house right now and another arriving Monday. And parts out the wazoo.
@@presmasterflash7555 you must be my doppelgänger 😂. I’m the same way. I customize all my guitars to the max. I put EMG’s in my Gibson Les Paul custom. That a brutal guitar. I’ve got some pretty killer customizations I’ve done. But yeah, I’m a part harvester too. I generally keep all my Gibson stuff in case I ever have to sell it to a beard stroker. They get all bent out of shape when you slap EMG’s in Gibson’s 😂. I’ve only got 1 tailpiece with the set screws. It’s a chrome Gibson USA. I’ve never seen another. All my other ones are non locking. But they definitely help when changing string. You gotta drag those little black fingers across your guitar to get em back on. And nitrocellulose is so damn soft you got to be careful. That’s why I’d like to find more locking style. Thanks for your reply.
@@Wargasm644 yes the dragging is a drag! My SG has EMGs the ones that can be “coil split” and the two “Customs” are actually Chinese knock offs. My Les Paul has a 500T bridge and P90 neck and my The Hawk has a 500T with a Gibson bridge mini humbucker in the neck which works very well with the 500. Both are hot, the mini might even be a ceramic which might be another reason they pair well. Also the minis have a rail under the cover (firebird style) so no phasing issues due to strings not aligning with pole pieces. The 496R is loaded in the bridge of an ‘82/83 Electra Workingman also with a mini in the neck (this one is the neck pup) I’ve had that guitar in several different setups since I got it for $80 in parts back in 1996. Good times good times.
Probably going to change the LP bridge to a 498 soon though. Never played one and I’d like to. Gotta find another Epiphone or something with one to harvest it. Right now I got my eyes on a guitar with a set of Mick Thompson EMTY Duncan’s that I can basically get for free.
I remember I always wanted a rainbow sg zoot suit but never could afford it. I was hoping you’d be unboxing that 😩 not seen one in years
That silverburst is nice!
That first guitar is gorgeous!
Really don't like the finish on that last one. Nice shape though
Always something interesting on Troglys show.
Good stuff,Trogg! Thanks!!
Damn I want that 1981 Silverburst. I wanna get it for my 40th as it'll be as old as me!
Truly I like this channel but I'm just wondering, are there any similar channels to Trogly's that are not totally Gibson oriented? I really like all the tech talk and taking apart guitars but I just don't have any affinity with Gibson or Les Pauls. More Fenders and Gretsches!
Darrell braun talks alot about other guitars.
cant wait for your es 235 review..
The 235 review should be interesting. Looks a bit strange, waiting for the comments on that episode.
Super excited about the es 235! Please do a cool jazz and bossa nova demo so I know its real:)
Thanks Austin throughly enjoyed as usual.
Love all the Trogly’s videos but I was wondering, and this is a bit cheeky but, can anyone recommend another guitar channel similar to this? I ask as I am more of a Fender guy.
What's going to happen sooner than later is that 100% of the really well known for years vintage guitars dealers who have online stores/catalogs is that they're going to be forced to sell instruments a bank breaking reductions, this was already starting to happen before the virus with several of them doing bait & switches with instruments every few weeks & or months. They were putting up & taking down the same guitars in what became an obvious rotation, because for the last few years they just weren't selling. I won't go through all of the dealers who practiced this but there is one in Ohio who for decades has been one of the top & most respected vintage dealers in the US & the world, after awhile I noticed the same guitars were disappearing as if they had been sold & then, making a miraculous return to the fray. This was happening with all of the older larger more well respected vintage dealers, & for the past three years now even big box stores like Sweetwater can't even get the amount of stock they once were able to. Hell Sweetwater will promote "new" stock with all the fanfare of a royal coronation but with a "coming soon" disclaimer. Trouble is they very rarely if ever get them in & if they do, they must not get but maybe a handful because within a day or two they then have the disclaimer of "more on the way" Now I've been watching this with Sweetwater & other big box stores & have come to the conclusion that in many instances, they're probably not even expecting to get any. The whole fake price gouging of instruments be they new or vintage by attaching a guitar stars name to them & extolling its fake non-existent rarity along with so called features that are really nothing special is about to bite everyone of these dealers/stores in their collective asses, with this looming mandatory almost half a year lockdown possibly coming, this will be the straw that breaks the completely false vintage guitar market price markups, & the astronomical markups we have seen in new instruments within just this year alone. I cannot see shops both private owned & corporate owned who have weathered this storm so far, surviving through a mandatory almost half a year lockdown. What will happen with the people who bought these falsely overpriced Gibson Silver Bursts both new & vintage that is the latest rock star trend of price gouging, will be nothing less than financial suicide because they're either going to be stuck with them, or forced to sell them for the price of groceries & or personal necessities & or rent/mortgage in the coming months. I wish I could say something positive about all this but this is what happens, when people are part of a problem & not the solution by creating false markets through false means, & then karma steps in & uses mother nature along with corrupt politicians to bitch slap people back into reality. Believe me what's coming, ain't gonna be pretty.
I love the arch top....
