When I first read your title -- "9 Out of 10 People Can't See This Guitar" -- I thought you were gonna unbox the rare, highly-coveted classic mid-1980s AirGuitar®.
@@chrismorse3862 Watch the unboxing video of it. The only thing I paid for was the shipping. Which wasn't that much seeing how close I live to him. He gets to create content and receive views. I get a video of my personal guitar to show people if I ever decide to sell it. To me it was a win/win.
Great Telecaster Sir, thank you so much for sharing your guitar with all of us. I too have a guitar I am considering sending to Austin for a review, it's just that I am not 100% sure about the shipping (the guitar was a gift from my Wife many years ago and she doesn't want to take a chance with it getting damaged in transit). Guitar I have is a special order 1986 Les Paul Custom, if something happened to it I have no idea how to get another one short of ordering a new one from the Gibson Custom Shop and I'm sure that would cost twice what we paid for it back 20 years ago! I mean what would we do, insure it for replacement cost? Ugh, happy Wife happy life! Anyway, great Telecaster and again thank you for sharing it with us.
Why is it people are not seeing that guitar? As soon as he opens the case look at the top and you will see part of the body uncovered, so yes, there IS a guitar in the case.
On the epis, having a setup done at the store is so critical. Difference between loving and hating those models IMO. My Johnny A came from AMS and it was perfect. I love that guitar
Just a quick THANKS for teaching us how to RESET the case lock number combination. I had NO IDEA how to do that, but have many cases with those. Nerver seen it done before, so 👍
Both Mini LP's come with a second pickup and pots and wire to do a full conversion.And I agree that the Grass Roots is as nice if not nicer than the Edwards.Conversion pickups are new ProBuckers.
@@AllenFreemanMediaGuru Good point. As it is, I have carpal tunnel and numb fingertips from 1000s of glucose tests--I don't trust myself with sharp tools!
That Explorer reminds me of so many very cheap guitars I saw back in the '80s, particularly the Hondo Explorer. Without seeing the headstock, I would never think that it's an actual Gibson.
I have one of those white Gibson SG Baritones. It’s certainly unique amongst my small collection. Loud too! The 500T in the bridge can do some fun squealies when you drop tune, but I like it more for some E-flat standard tuning like Coheed & Cambria. The neck has the 496R. It’s p’up config is pretty much like a 2010 Gibson Explorer standard (which I also have). It’s a real pretty guitar with the all-white body and black fretboard (rich lite composite I believe). Sadly it received a stain in the finish from leaning against a guitar stand for too long, but fortunately its in the back.
Unboxing #2 - The "gold" Gibson logo/diamond are probably sticker logos. I see them online, they also come in silver. I bought a silver set and put it on my iPad. I'd like to hear what it sounds like, no demo?
I owned a cammo explorer with the dirty finger(?) humbuckers. Extremely fun to play and very light. But yeah the finish on those things were bad for checking. The finish around the tuning keys were bad to bubble up as well. Its basically layers, upon layers of paint.
Esp makes the navigator which is the best single cut guitar on the planet! You need to review one. Very pricey but the craftsmanship is beyond anything out there.
He won't tell you but he will sell it to you lol. Nah, he might tell you after it's sold, he has told me the prices of a few. You gotta remember, he is trying to resell it so he doesn't want to reveal what he paid for it lol.
2:19 oh, hahaha trogly. opening a case without a guitar in it. it isn't april you fool. but suddenly a yellowish explorer appears in your hands around 2:37, are you a magician?
Huh? That Explorer is in the case, what are you talking about? If you look as he opens the case at the top there is a small portion of the guitar uncovered, so yeah there's a guitar in there lol.
Custom plus loose like a brown rim burst, but the heal area looks black... repair? Next, this is why i only buy new and only from my favorite shop. Any imperfections it'd be swapped out for another and set up 100% before I ever see it!
Would you ever consider checking out an ESP guitar? I just started getting interested in shredders type guitars and people say the ESP E2 series is really high quality
They are super high quality. I've got 3 ESP standard series, an LTD Elite and an E-II. Honestly you can't go wrong with a Japanese made ESP. Superb guitars.
Howdy! I think I may be kind of responsible for the camouflage Explorer ex isting. Let me explain; I was at the NAMM show in L.A. in 81 or 82 (used to go every year) and I was talking to a Gibson rep in a hallway between buildings ( I was obviously some kind of wierdo with green hair) and I mentioned that I had my guitars taped up in WW2 fighter markings and he asked if he could use that idea. I said sure, but I tried to explain that the markings were individual and nobody would want to play somebody else's personalized squadron markings, he said "no, but we (Gibson) could offer a camouflage finish." as he scribbled in his notebook. Years later I saw these - coincidence??? - thanks Trogly
Hey Austin, why don't you put some sort of NCS guitar playing as your background music? Like some sort of bluesy slide playing, anything is better than the current music tho
Hey Trog , you got any basses to sell? I love watching your show about guitars but have no desire to buy one, I want BASS! you should do a few bass reviews also🤘
Ron, Gert, Thanks guys. I've looked up a quite a few different ones. But I honestly like the Gibson cases cause their just nice, and a used one is always a good way to save a buck or two!!! Lol
When I first read your title -- "9 Out of 10 People Can't See This Guitar" -- I thought you were gonna unbox the rare, highly-coveted classic mid-1980s AirGuitar®.
Literally watching you box my tele up as I'm unboxing it. Boxception.
Maybe you can explain why someone would pay to have their guitar in a video..I really don't understand this business model lol

I have a lefty Grassroots LP and they’re extremely underrated. It’s my #2 behind my 1985 Gibson SG. I absolutely love the Grassroots!
These are by far the best videos for learning guitar history, great work
a bit nervous slicing the bubble wrap over the black "custom" mini
Absolutely agree, stop hacking away with that craft knife.
Julian Carmichael he deals with so many guitars I’m sure he’s fine lol
The blade isn't fully extended and he pulls the plastic away from the guitar, but yeah.. I cringe every time lol.
Yeah, my stomach turned a bit.
I love it when you unbox explorers and document them. I got a 1997 Esp Ltd explorer, and now I play it more than my 50s les paul.
Another unboxing/boxing day great stuff! Love the Les Paul Custom.
I didn’t see the guitar until you flipped to the back of it.
Same
Dude I seriously love the uploads, I’ve started to look on reverb for deals and all that now and I’m honestly lovin this channel
That custom plus is gorgeous
Major Video! You're doing all great videos lately.
I'm hoping to see a video on that explorer. I've been really curious about those DiMarzio Super Distortion P90s.
Yeah i couldn't stop looking at that bucket head les paul on reverb. Such a cool guitar!
You are dead on. 90s LPs (especially the standard DC) are my favorite. The studios sounded crazy good.
What guitar is he talking about at 2:17 ?
idk, men. It seems like someone sent him an empty case... I think Trogly is finally going insane; too many guitars.
Why is it people are not seeing that guitar? As soon as he opens the case look at the top and you will see part of the body uncovered, so yes, there IS a guitar in the case.
That custom plus is insane!!!
What guitar?

Just a quick THANKS for teaching us how to RESET the case lock number combination. I had NO IDEA how to do that, but have many cases with those. Nerver seen it done before, so 👍
Nobody is going to talk about the box moaning at 9:16?
Both Mini LP's come with a second pickup and pots and wire to do a full conversion.And I agree that the Grass Roots is as nice if not nicer than the Edwards.Conversion pickups are new ProBuckers.
It would be hilarious that you opened that KHS box and found a bicycle inside instead of a guitar.
Beautiful Custom Plus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2020 Slash collection - cmon Trogly! 2020 slash Anaconda burst or Vermilion burst review please.
Hey i was wondering what do u plan to do with the buckethead chibson flying v ?
Just recently found your channel and it’s f’n awesome
I get OCD tremors seeing you use the box cutter (to remove the thin inner covers) so close to the guitars...
texanfournow For me its how he cuts towards his arms. After slicing my finger in college(1970’s), I’ve never cut towards myself again.
@@AllenFreemanMediaGuru Good point. As it is, I have carpal tunnel and numb fingertips from 1000s of glucose tests--I don't trust myself with sharp tools!
I remember seeing the ads for this designer series back when I was 13,the camo is still killer
Austin, what are you going to do with the Chackson you acquired?
That Explorer reminds me of so many very cheap guitars I saw back in the '80s, particularly the Hondo Explorer. Without seeing the headstock, I would never think that it's an actual Gibson.
When he pulled the shroud off the first thing I did was say, " Oh God how ugly", Why would anyone want such a thing?
I get that the Explorer is a wild shape, but the crazy angle it sits in the case puts the headstock way up against the top side of the case!
Where do you get those Gibson decals? On the LP Custom Plus, I'm not digging that finish and / or it needs standard silver pickups.
I have one of those white Gibson SG Baritones. It’s certainly unique amongst my small collection. Loud too! The 500T in the bridge can do some fun squealies when you drop tune, but I like it more for some E-flat standard tuning like Coheed & Cambria. The neck has the 496R.

That's a pretty awesome Burton t-shirt! haha
man I can't wait to see the muse epiphones
Unboxing #2 - The "gold" Gibson logo/diamond are probably sticker logos. I see them online, they also come in silver. I bought a silver set and put it on my iPad.
I'd like to hear what it sounds like, no demo?
Where’s the first guitar?
I owned a cammo explorer with the dirty finger(?) humbuckers. Extremely fun to play and very light. But yeah the finish on those things were bad for checking. The finish around the tuning keys were bad to bubble up as well. Its basically layers, upon layers of paint.
?Do all the new Epiphones have fret problems?
A music store in Columbia SC had a camo explorer with triple p90s when I was like 16 yrs old. Wonder if that’s it
That little Gibsons LP C's are great guitar for a kid to get into,
So, them t shirts. When's the Trogly's Fashion Show video comin? 😆
Esp makes the navigator which is the best single cut guitar on the planet! You need to review one. Very pricey but the craftsmanship is beyond anything out there.
Couldn’t help but do a sharp intake of breath at 3:56 😮
As an Explorer fan I have never seen one up for sale in the camo pattern. If you don't mind sharing, how much was it?
He won't tell you but he will sell it to you lol. Nah, he might tell you after it's sold, he has told me the prices of a few. You gotta remember, he is trying to resell it so he doesn't want to reveal what he paid for it lol.
That’s a nice explorer case.
But why are you pulling air out of the case?
Nice find especially with the triple P90s
The camouflage guitar looks great 😍
Florentin Tise what are you talking about?? I don’t see anything ...
Florentin Tise, it’s kinda horrible, but cool as a reflection of the era.
Florentin Tise, it’s kinda horrible, but cool as a reflection of the era.
JohnnyArt Pavlou I probably would not play that in public, but it does look kinda cool 😎
Ommar Ney look at 2:18
I was hoping for a Zakk Wylde camo Les Paul... That would've been awesome.
He has a video of one he got, I think it was about 8 or 9 months ago maybe?
@@alabamahebrew Cool, I'll look it up... I started following this channel like a month ago...
Trouble teley again wicked love that one BH sg also wicked
I've wanted that camo explorer since I first seen it as a teen back in 84 I believe. Are you selling it? If so message me how much
Samsquanch Columbia SC?
Scott Grove had (or still has) one of these. Cool weird explorer from the 80's.
I can see it but unfortunately I can’t unsee it.
Bro i can only see the hardware whats holding it in place???!??!??
I’m new to this channel, pretty cool. What do you do with all the guitars you buy? Surely run out of room for em all.
I'm in the market for a Gibson Explorer or one of the Epiphone Brendon Small models, but not that one hahaha
anyone else giggle when he said he was "hunting" for the camouflage finish?
That camo'd Explorer? ♥♥♥ Too bad it doesn't still have all three P90s though!
Is this camo explorer Dr goovies?
Omg that Custom plus is GORGEOUS!!!
7:16 The song dirty laundry popped in my head after watching you pull out all that guys old laundry. Edited: By Don Henley
Why Buckethead guitars?
2:19 oh, hahaha trogly. opening a case without a guitar in it. it isn't april you fool. but suddenly a yellowish explorer appears in your hands around 2:37, are you a magician?

@@alabamahebrew I believe he is making a joke about the finish being camouflage.

Awm Joeyjoejoe how do they compare vs like an Ibanez or Jackson? There’s a lot of super strat makers out there. Speaking strictly E2 I mean
What explorer r u talking about ??
How much is the mini les paul
Do the new Epiphone’s have different neck profiles available, or are they all the slim tapper design still? I love a fat neck, like a 50s style.
Yeah they do, one of those he unboxed the other day had a thicker neck if I remember right.
You'll need a camo amp or the sound will instantly give away your position. Think, people....THINK!
Can't see any guitar 😕 how do you see it? 🤔
Love the camo Explorer, too bad it doesn't have the original 3 P90s. Very cool.
Great Custom Plus, beautiful.
Is amazing the les Paul custom!!!
looks like your getting dangerously close to that finish with that blade
can u do a review of a danelectro danoblaster?
I was unaware Edwards made mini guitars. Are they any good. And are Edwards guitars any good?
Absolutely great guitars!
Almost 100k subs !
I am a huge camouflage buff.....
That finish is giving me a stroke!
Haha...I have that red harley shirt....from daytona HD....lmao
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think that explorer disgusting,it looks like a DIY project done with airfux Paint lol
That camo is Vietnam style !

1:05 Trogly's biceps?
Why not document the consignment guitars to reach a wider audience and possibly sell it faster?
I'm wondering how many unboxings you did so far man 😂
I almost thought you got a Zakk Wylde guitar. The thumbnail got my click!
Where’s the guitar?
That's the absolute fugliest camo I've ever seen 😂
That SG looks MUCH better than that shiny oine with the vibrola and the veneers.
Hey Austin, why don't you put some sort of NCS guitar playing as your background music? Like some sort of bluesy slide playing, anything is better than the current music tho
It's the official Space Force Explorer
You were hunting and hunting for that guitar and probably walked right by it several times without seeing it
Hey Trog , you got any basses to sell? I love watching your show about guitars but have no desire to buy one, I want BASS! you should do a few bass reviews also🤘
Your vocals at the intro sound different,kinda Darth Vadery.Is this due to The Star Wars movie?
I think he edited that part in.
@@alabamahebrew We will just have to keep watching, to see If he says "I'm Your Father" to any of his guest's,that would be definitive proof.
Hey do you have any les paul cases for sale? Or a case thatd fit a Single cut??
Check Zzounds.com they sell new ones for like $100 or so.
stephen, check his reverb site. There's an LP case for sale
Ron, Gert, Thanks guys. I've looked up a quite a few different ones. But I honestly like the Gibson cases cause their just nice, and a used one is always a good way to save a buck or two!!! Lol
I’m trying to figure out why he puts his phone like that on the wall.. in what looks like a square aspect ratio, we never see shots from that angle
Already Dead it’s the feed from the GoPro on his head
Chadd Daugherty Jr. thanks!
mouldy blanket... ... I think I remember one of those?
Just saw that Explorer on Reverb.
