UPDATE Aug 11, 2020: RIP Trini Lopez. An incalculable loss for the music industry. Thank you for the music, the guitars which bear your name, and your story.
GOB Bluth Voice I've made a huge mistake. Nah, just kidding. I finally scored a Gibson Trini Lopez after years of pining for the model, and wouldn't you know it, it also happens to be a rare one at that. This video has background info on the model and its namesake, as well as FOUR demos!

@@ZachariahConnor Had no idea that was a thing! Thanks!
never realized the firebird headstock was a friggin BEAK until you mentioned it
Believe it or not, that also never hit me until I was doing the video, I just looked at it and went, "Oh my god wait a minute."
Great video Mike!!! Looks killer in black!!!
GibsonTV I appreciate you!
dude absolutely SPOT ON tone for Hello, honestly so glad to hear that, your plug for the album resonates with me!
Sweet guitar! I’ve always thought the diamond f holes and firebird headstock were cool as well. Also loved the Patrick Warburton impression lol
I'm figuring out that when I sit down to do a video, I have to take a minute to goof around or else I'm tense through the whole thing. Expect more dumb impressions!
I get a kick seeing Trini Lopez as a topic since I use to sit and listen to (Kansas City) in my moms 45s collection back in the 70s as a kid. I’m a big fan of the diamond f holes, but I always had a hard time with the headstock, now I get it.
Me seeing Reverb uploading a Trini Lopez signature history video 2 hours after you uploaded this 👀
Haha no way
That impression was about an 8.5/10 to be honest and that’s a high compliment because it’s not an easy impression to do. What made your impression so impactful is that by the second word, I knew exactly who you were impersonating. That’s the decider-if the audience can’t tell by the second word, then the impression is faulty. You nailed it. Also, kudos for the Star Trek TNG reference. Unlike Lt Worf, I AM a merry man.
Thanks so much for this very informative video with some background on the Legendary Trini (RIP).
I actually won this guitar in a UA-cam giveaway from El Estepario Siberiano, the spanish drum God who is already a living legend due to his incredible speed and ability to play difficult known drum parts with only one hand while casually having a drink with the other.
My curiosity to learn more about the beautiful guitar I had just won led me to your video sadly announcing your parting ways with it and that brought me this one.
I like your content and subscribed for more.
Thanks again Mike 🤘😎
Excellent video! Also, that Warburton impression is amazing. I knew who it was when I saw the IG preview.
He's a total legend. We just finished Seinfeld and I had forgotten how much of a fixture he was in that series!
@@Puisheen Now that you mention it... I did, too!
So happy for you man! Trinis are the shit!
INDEED!
We have a Barney Kessel Trini model at Norm’s! Super wicked guitar, I assume a previous owner was named Victor because the pick guard has “VICTOR” across it lol. You’re right, most evil looking jazz box in the world. Your Trini is also rad, congrats!
I'd love to own a BK someday, even though I can't get much use from a fully-hollow guitar. And thank you so much, Brandon!
Been following you on Instagram for years. Didn’t realise you did these vids! Ace!! Beautiful guitar. Definitely on my bucket list. Blown my mind with that firebird headstock!! I’ve had a non reverse for over ten years and did not know that!!
Hey thanks for finding me here! Yeah the Trini is something super special, and that headstock just looks so cool to me.
Beautiful guitar- and I'm glad somebody else out there associates these with Oasis 👍👍
Those inlays are so nice. What a cool guitar!
Cool review. Especially the history lesson. Also was singing along to Hello at the end there. If you ever need a Bonehead for that covers band...
I'm totally serious, I've been wanting to do that for years, ever since the Weezer tribute came together and we all discovered how easy it was. Let's form a "band" as if that means anything right now haha
That middle position sounds sublime man! Beautiful guitar
Guitars I Definitely Own is a very brave title for these episodes. Own it! I look forward to many more.
Ha! Thanks, buddy, I'll keep that in mind!
Just love these videos Mike.
Sweet! I agree a bigsby would really make it (for me) but understand the hesitation. Too bad there’s no bigsby with the Trini Lopez rosewood inlay, that would be awesome!
Miles I have been looking at the Bigsby and trying to figure out a way to make that work, believe it or not. The plaque is just adhered to the wood, so it's easy to pry off. Now I'm wondering if I could get TK smith to make a B7 with the right shape back there... This is a good idea. I just gotta work up the courage to install the thing!
Puisheen that would be perfect! Get a little warble without losing Trini.
Yes yes yes YES yes yes.
Also, YES.
I've always (for the past.... twenty-ish years) been playing with the idea of popping a bigsby on my Hamer 335-style guitar... maybe I'll do it out of solidarity.
Or... Semihollowdarity?
you are giving me the strength I neeeeeeeeed
I like the title. I say lean into it.
Then it's settled. "Guitars I Definitely Own" is now a thing
I feel your pain as respects color selection of your TL model guitar. Here is what you must do: You MUST locate ‘Clown Barf’ sheet plastic, you know the multicolored plastic picks from the mid ‘60s? You make a gorgeous pick guard of ‘Clown Barf’ , and to do a tribute to Trini and that ethnic community at large, you perform 200-300 of your fave Elvis songs
……I N. S P A N I S H!!!
It might be in everybody’s best interest if you kept a very strong “American” US accent on your Spanish pronunciation out of respect. Perfect diction in that regard might well lose its folksy appeal.
Beautiful guitar! I’ve been reconnecting with a 335 I’ve had that needs some work
Offsets are totally my thing but I have always adored semi-hollow guitars. I do blame my love of Oasis for that, but yeah, that sound is just so compelling for me. What's up with your 335???
Puisheen bridge position everything’s fine. Middle position there’s a loud pop/crackle. Neck position has almost no output. I’m guessing it needs a new switch.
Dude. You got a Trini. Sooo Rad! Dave Grohl approves🤘🏻
I did! Really happy about it, still looking at that Bigsby and grinding my teeth. Grateful I got a decent price from my friend as well.
Sweet guitar man! I have a 335 with a bigsby that is my main squeeze. I find stop tail Semi-Hollows just not as inspiring as the vibrato ones, love that extra string length at the back and the effect on slinkiness :)
Gary I am STILL staring at the Bigsby and trying to work up the courage. I love them, I'm just so afraid to put holes in this thing, which is weird because I've haphazardly put holes in everything else I own. What is happening to me? Oh! And yes, the trapeze contributes to the feel for sure, and I think the combo of that and the headstock are why I feel so at ease with the guitar. String path is a lot like a Jazzmaster!
@@Puisheen I'm definitely sitting on the fence regarding that, so I understand your apprehension of not going ahead with it. I think the rarity for me would be the biggest speed bump - but with that in mind I'll always prioritise making music over potential resale value. It took years for me to decide to bite the bullet on my 335, as soon as I strummed a chord and added some vibrato I felt regret that I didn't do it sooner!
I know you've mentioned in the past you like Oasis, definitely check out early Suede albums if you haven't, Bernard Butler is synonymous with the ES-Bigsby combo in the UK! :)
@@Puisheen If it's been dinged already, go for it! Not like you're doing it to a pristine guitar
@@itsmikee1994 I mean, true! Definitely has been beat up...
@@garyjovanovitch3863 Suede is great! All good points!
Aw man, I want to do some irresponsible!!!
You're my favorite.
KOREY I love and miss you, how are you?
dude did you get ripped during quarantine or have you always owned those guns
Buddy this is very kind because I was working out like four times each week before the pandemic and I feel like I lost mass! I've been trying to keep up but you can only lift amps so many times before you start feeling silly. You doing aright?
Comment for the algorithm. 🤘🏻
That feeling when they play a song in a video and you know it, but can’t place it..
Check the pinned comment for what I played. The only "real" song in the video is the last one
Id love a Trini Lopez or a 335 but at 5' 9" (on a good day) they make me look like a fat, bald child.
I like my Trini better.
