Bill Gruggett was a master luthier from Bakersfield California. We lost him in 2012 at 75 years old. He did build Mosrite guitar and so much more.
Very well known for his use of the best and most beautiful wood and would build everything at of it. Pick guards, pick up rings, knobs, tuner tips and so on.
Talk the time and Google his name. He built and did repairs for very famous musicians.
I love that you had guitars on your show about my old friend.
That's awesome! By the looks of his guitars he looked like a true master of his craft 🫡
He was a very kind man. He refretted a Gibson mandolin I had and repaired a broken neck on an old acoustic guitar. I remember his humility and skill a real guitar hero imho. I read somewhere that they had a celebration in Bakersfield to honour him. Sadly missed
@richardmelhuish4733 wow how nice amd if you still have those instruments you'll have just that much more to remember him by. He sounded like a very nice man and I'm sure he's really missed. Glad you got to know him while you did 👍
I was already falling in love with 12 strings even before this video.... but this Les Paul is on another level! Wow!
Hey Trogly, I'm on vacation so just catching up on some old episodes! Loved the shout-out for the ES225T! Don't you think it's time to update the old orange rockabilly unit video with the added Bigsby? That was a REALLY long time ago! I'm suggesting a 2014 reissue ES225TD in Tabacco Burst. Not the money of the 1955-59 originals, but they look vintage and play great. Love the show! Keep up the great work. Darren
Back in the early 2000s, my departed big brother ordered a 12 string Les Paul from a "boutique" manufacturer. I gasped when I saw it, but it was a quality instrument that sounded great. I wish I could remember the brand name on it (and what happened to it). Our big question then was "why the heck doesn't / didn't make a market 12-string electric? Very cool once again.
That S-style and T-style with the caramelized neck( which is a fantastic way to describe it) are super cool! Not just because of how beautiful they are but also because Mr. Moserite built them. Just wow!
Bill gruggett built them.
Facebook, it's a big no!
That small logo on a 12 string almost looks as dumb as Joe's moustache in that pic.
LOL! 😆
It's like...19th racist caricature of a Chinese man-type moustache.
11:55 - Santa's Explorer 😆One Gibson I really regret selling was a 2003 Explorer Pro w/ yellowy-natural flamed maple top and that same red stain on the back. $1400 brand new in '04 (oof). The best thing about that guitar was the way it arrived; it was absolutely flawless.
An ES-137 Classic in Blueburst is another regret, and another brand new gem with zero issues. Paid $1200 in 2008-09. Ugh.
@@cataclysmicconverter Yes, I remember thinking I was spending too much. Based on inflation, $1400 in 2003 = $2400 in 2024, and there's _NO WAY_ you could get a new Gibson with those specs right now for $2400. If re-released, it'd likely retail for about $4500 today.
I absolutely agree with what you said about ebony fretboards and Gibson. Always loved the ebony / block inlay combo. My all-time favorite electric was a natural '77 LP Custom with pitch-black ebony.
Of all 18 Gibsons I've owned, that Explorer felt and played the best straight out of the box. Gibson seemed to be on a roll with QC in the early 00s.
Twelve strings to constantly tune.
Great video, thank you. Gibson makes beautiful guitars. I own 5 of them (all 6 strings). It's a shame they use 6 saddle bridges on their 12 strings. The guitars will never intonate properly with those bridges. They should have put a 12 saddle bridge on it like a Cepheus bridge. The Cepheus 12 string bridge works great and that is what I run on my 335 and LP clones. My intonation is spot on for all 12 strings. Thank you.
Ooh, I love that green Explorer!
This one is Sick!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I just bought a brand new Giibson Firebird 12 string guitar in the guitar is just playing awesome and it’s just like the one that they originally built in the 1960s and this is a non-reverse Firebird
I am a 12-string nut, lucky enough to have one of offset Fender XIIs from a few years back. Love the Les Paul 12-string but would want coil taps!
Austin, I’m so happy for the success of your channel. Honestly when you talked about your dream of a museum, I thought you were nuts. But I actually think you will do this now! Follow your dreams!!!
My 1974 Gibson D-150 looks just like the dark wood grain on the stand with the master volume ,that's only other one I have seen set up like that.
Richard Davis has an AMAZING collection!! I am in groups with him on Facebook... Very nice gentleman.... Even sell some off now and then.... Very personable and friendly
I'd like to see/hear one of those 12-strings with the courses turned around, octave string 2nd...
That word "HOLY..." will torment you forever !!!
That Les Paul with the Carlos Santana signature and Super 400 features is a long scale model, with only 20 frets😁
Facebook's great for guitar groups!
I believe that Richard is near my hometown. I always remembered seeing his quirky guitars come across my Facebook. I believe he sold one of the first ever, if not the first ever documented Rickenbacker bass.
ES-150 DC is chunky.
But, yeah, it's in the 175 family; full hollow, shaped to 335 body but 150/175 depth, double cut.
The logo is tilted just like on a chibson. I guess if it wasn’t it would be even longer! lol great work!
My friend, Warren Haynes has a Les Paul Standard with 12-strings.
You need to play this back at half speed 😂
Some of the groups dont allow you to even mention other models much more other brands. Anyone else noticed a speed knob where the toggle switch usually is on the last black guitar before we saw the burst? I don't think many people realize that certain colors like white or black or some others require more attention as well as paint to get them looking roght.
ES-150 was fully hollow.
I don't know how you ignored Joe Perry's "Mustache" like that.
It’s odd that they haven’t made more 12 string LP’s. Fender has a few 12 string Strat iterations.
I'd like to see a 12 string ES-335 in the lineup again, Gibson made them for a few years from the mid 60s to the early 70s and I always thought they were really cool
Epiphone has a couple of limited 12 strings. The SJ -13 acoustic sounds and plays like a slice of heaven.
The 12-string LP Custom is a beast !...love those LP Classics with P-90's , also love the ES-150 style guitars , there was one down at Rumbleseat Music in Santa Fe years ago that I enjoyed checking out ...Thanks Trogly !
Awesome
And Richard has another one in Sunburst!.... Oops sorry... You covered that one also... I think the 335 style is a Hofner? He posts so many stylish, drool worthy beauties
I used to own a 12 string 2012 Les Paul Traditional in black. It was good for doing early 80's "jangle rock" but I got tired of doing that and moved it on.
Why is the binding on the neck and the plys in the pickguard snow white and everything else that is white is aged to yellow?
Es150 does not have a center block. I had one. I know who has it, and have been trying to get it back for years.
Warren Haynes has a Burst Les Paul 12 string
That’s an awfully Loooooooooooong headstock
I’ll give the headstock one week!
They should use locking tuners. Changing strings will be a pain in the ass on this.
Very nice guitar Trogly.
Trogly, whats that R9 at 2:58 worth? 15K+?
That is the gawdyest headstock but i love it. So odd.
The fucking headstock looks like someone stretched it out in photoshop
Imagine trying to keep this thing in tune 😅
Like they needed to make it any easier to break a Gibson headstock.
Could you check the headstock angle every once in a while. 14 ° or 17°. Or what ever.
He had a tool for that, but it wasn’t accurate working with the setup he uses.
@@joermnyc it would be nice if maybe he could find some way to measure the head stock angle that works for him.
What great guitars...but yagatta remember (sorry)...I'm a lefty so I can only dream!
Trogley should change the name of his show to Trogleys Gibson Guitar Show.
I am legitimately worried about Trogly right now. I have not seen him miss an upload in years. I hope he’s good.
Nah, just late. I'm still uploading soon! Thank you for caring
Ace Frehley called " Peter who"?
No doubt! Ace did more for/and with a 3 pup LP Custom (with only one of the three wired up) than Frampton even did.
Is this a custom Les Paul custom or a Les Paul custom custom
That headstock must be so fragile. Handle with care!
I want to have them make me a 12 string, then plug up 6 of the holes so it's a 6 string.
I have a 12-string LP. Unfortunately, a cheap Korean thing, not a Gibson.
All that means is you probably didn’t pay astronomically more than it’s worth. I’d rather have a 300 dollar MIK guitar over a 3K American guitar. Can’t justify that price jump myself.
@@TylerJohnstonGuitar How do you say you're broke without saying you're broke?
@@thatsmrharley2u2 Big difference between being broke and being smart with your money. Squiers play the same notes Fenders do.
@TylerJohnstonGuitar hating on someone because they prefer an instrument that will hold its value and get more valuable with time is the same as hating on someone because they play a squier or epiphone with an inexpensive combo amp. No one really cares what you think about certain brands, you just look like a loser hating. Play what you want and like.
@@thatsmrharley2u2Is there anything wrong with being broke anyway? Most great musicians started out broke. At least, Elon Musk hasn't made any good music that I know of
Be funny if they did an Explorer 12 string. 😂
@@cataclysmicconverter Carvin is still around, but the guitars and basses are now under the Kiesel brand.
His collection is truly spectacular
Warren Haynes on Government mule doing Gold dust woman
This ageing crap kills me. I'll be the one beating up my guitar, thank-you!
Then buy a boring guitar.
That's original.
I know a guy that has an es-150...
6500 for an explorer? lmao!!!!
The LP 12string…
I know they call a guitar an “axe”…but it gives me a “hedge-trimmer” vibe lol.
Can’t unsee it now lol.
IMHO it’s ruined a hallowed Black Beauty.
Biblically accurate les paul
les pauls don't have pickguards.
F**k Facebook.
Thought there only 2 previously. One belonging to Warren Haynes.
✌️
Boop!
Why not an 18 string model?
Plenty of those. Double necks.
So basically nothing crazy
🧈🧈🧈
A friend of mine thinks that giant diamond 'Gibby' is a Chibson.
Are 'we' sure it's 'genuine'?
I'm sure your friend knows more than Trogly. Are you high or something? You can't tell that that's real?
Concerned for your friend?
As the original owner of a 1979 Fender F55-12, I can still confidently state 12-strings in ANY form 100% worthless.🙋🏼♂️
Got a 12 string Squier jazzmaster recently plays great!
@@cataclysmicconverter I have a Rickenbacker 360 12 string and yes yr right very hard to play, thinnish neck. Try a fender
ᕦʕ •`ᴥ•´ʔᕤ
Z is for late.
N is for koksh!
12 strings bore me. 😴
Z is for really late.
Not as late as the other day hahahahahahaha
3 pickup Les Paul’s are so damn ugly!!! Rather rock a theodor then one of those 😂
Day 2 of asking Trogly to review a 1954 Stratocaster
Hoping for less whining on day 3.
Z is for B=D ~~() yahoo 🧇🧇🧇🧈🧈🧈✌️
Hi Yaw!!!!
Z is for very late.
