I feel like at this point they could've added 2k to the price without anyone batting an eye to also have the real Calton Case. They probably should've done this too bc the reissue chainsaw is a cheap look.
@@andrewgabrielmusic I 100% agree with you. I would imagine many of the new owners probably will purchase a Calton Case for their new Redeye's (I would).

It still has the “R9” stamp in the electronics pocket because that’s all it is. It’s hard to justify those prices(standard R9) even, but considering all the hand work that goes into them, it’s almost believable. This however, is not. A fool and his money….
I guess they don't have to justify their prices to you and if someone wants to blow such an amount of money that they earned on anything, who's business is it but theirs? You sound like a jealous kid.
@@shaunw9270you sound like a fan boy taking up for a company that is a shell of what it used to be....gibson used to be the BOSS of guitar manufacturing, used to be.....not any more
Not worth even one-half of the retail sticker price $22K. Indeed, I wouldn't pay more than $10K for that guitar. The substantial amount of "tear out" in the control cavity route is shameful. And it's indicative of inferior quality tone wood. Just imagine the guitar's neck with "tear out" in the area of the truss rod route! That's what you can't see. Gibson is literally putting LIPSTICK ON A PIG! 🐽
Beautiful replica. Trog, your playing and choice of riffs has gotten nothing but better and better. And from what I can tell from a quick couple of hops - that strap is a $1200 *minimum* before you add the custom red eye or blue color in!
Bravo Austin🎸I saw the video of Ed King showing the Original RedEye to a Collector before it went to Carters Shop. It had a Double Cream bobbin PU at the Bridge & a Zebra at the Neck. Supposedly they were Custom made by Whizz Pickup Company to amplify the Reedy sound of the Guitars acoustics. Apparently Whizz made Ed happy in that respect. I saw Ed playing the rhythm parts on Freebird with a LesPaul. Not sure if it was RedEye but it sounded amazing✌️😎☯️
What I don't really get, is why Gibson don't put these pickups in the normal Standards etc? That bridge PU is clearly nicer sounding than a normal Standard, why? That's what they sounded like in 59, why not now? - I don't get it.
I'm right there with you. The pickups seem to sound exceptional ...but it's a damn pickup, it can't cost any more to make. Why not offer them to peons like me a reasonable price, and put them in the standard guitars?
They now put these pickups in the new Epiphones which is kind of crazy. Putting them in Gibson USA stuff is one thing but I feel like they should be more exclusive than Epiphone.
That back pup toggle cavity cover is really cool. DO they just swell those. I checked the Logos website and it seems to be a custom order company. You should negotiate an affiliate link with them. I want one of those.
14:10 regarding the splintering in the cavity, I 100% get what you're saying. I'd be a little annoyed too, BUT what does the cavity of Red Eye or another LP from this era look like? MAYBE that's a nod to the originals. Obviously that would be insanely hard to recreate the exact splinters, but hey, just a thought :) I just kept saying wow to this one as it was gone through.
Austin, once again, as a long time fan. Thank you for all you do. I hope to visit your museum. You are such a wealth of knowledge. And you sir, can pick.
Hi trogly! Great video as usual. I just wanted to ask you if you can play with the volume knobs when you demo guitars like this. Remember in the 50s there werent 2 channel guitar amps. They would just roll down the volume knobs to clean it up. I see you play with tone knobs but never clean up w the volume knobs. This is the way i play and bot a lot of youtubers cater to this old school approach. Keep rocking
This in my opinion is the limit of these demos. It doesn't make much sense for these guitars to play them with the volume always at 10 and use amplifiers with a highly compressed drive. You would also need an amp with good dynamics to understand better.
Perhaps one day Trogly will have that "A-Ha!!" moment while playing through a Fuzz Face with the volume rolled down to 1/3... but I won't hold my breath.
Pretty much every custombucker set I've played has a muddy neck and amazing bridge. I wonder if the underwound custombucker is an improvement in the neck.
No way I’d buy a $22K guitar! But I’m with ya on that bridge pickup-it sounds killer! Great treble, definitely one of those PAFs described as a “big Tele”. I didn’t like the neck pickup so much; it doesn’t match the bridge very well. Too muddy.
An L5 or Hummingbird with a genuine history and vintage might be worth that, but no way I'm spending even $10k on a re-issue "replica' (self-fake, effectively) of anything that Fibson decides to flog at us for a sucker-buck.
These aren’t Isbell signatures, he’s just the owner of this famous burst. I think him helping with pickups and tops was him making sure they got it accurately.
@@AlecBoyd The COA call's it the "Jason Isbell 'Red Eye', and Kirk Hammett's Greeney COA came with a signed photo so there is a precedent. I guaranteeI Isbell didn't do this out of the kindness of his heart alone, either.
Wow super nice axe. Definitely not worth it, but it's awesome you can review it for us. Sounds pretty typical like other gibsons. Your playing is definitely improving Trogley!
Yeah, I thought he was getting uppity there for a minute. But he's on the pulse of a ton of stuff , obviously worked hard, and evolved into Master Trogley. Jedi Knight of Les PaulIan lore. True, false, correction . A LEGEND. All bullshit aside, Austin is a respected, connected, authority on guitar, in general. Matter of fact , he is Z General , and I would follow him into any concert hall...
That's a great story of the original 59' literally gigging hard to pay for it ' ...that is what it's all about ' ...Red Eye's bridge Custombucker is absolutely the Bees Knees ...and that Brazilian board is gorgeous.
Having a look through the "Beauty of the Burst" and it goes from "9 0844" to " 9 0905" so it's not in the book (at least not in my issue) maybe the guitar WAS in an earlier edition , and when Ed King took legal action they had to remove it??? Anyone here know the real story about the B.of the Burst book?
According to Ed, he was at a guitar show it was just about closing time when he came across the latest edition of the “Beauty of the Burst” l think he said it was a Japanese version, he was just flicking through the book when he noticed a guitar that looked like his old Red Eye but wasn’t sure, he didn’t want to buy the book as it was an expensive book but took note of the serial number when he got home looked through some old receipts and sure enough it was his old Les Paul 59, in the morning he was first in line couldn’t wait to buy the book and according to Ed the Collector was quite known around the collectors circle and with the legal side of things it wasn’t really a big deal getting Old Red Eye back according to Ed the Collector was very understanding and gracious about the whole thing…….
i notice the frets are jumbo unlike the tiny frets on new les paul standards , the frets in the new les paul standards are so tiny how can anyone fork over 3k for one of them
I was a Good Friend of Ed King. and have played Red Eye an amazing guitar however he didn't like the collectors choice versions he said they didn't play near the same, Not sure how the new ones are
You used a picture of Ed King playing a Strat. Is there a picture of Ed playing this guitar on stage? He said he was a Les Paul guy but since Gary and Alan both played Gibson's can you switch to a Strat.
I admire the fact that Jason insists on reminding everyone that it was Ed's guitar given Jason's history with Southern rock music, but even the original guitar doesn't scream "Ed King." To the best of my knowledge, Ed never played it any recordings, especially not on the original Skynyrd run, and while Ed supposedly loved it and considered it his best guitar, he left no large body of music of him playing it.
I just don’t get it! Why pay $22,000 for a trashed new guitar? I get the, it looks like so and sos guitar but it’s not,and never will be! If I spent that much money on a guitar, I’d buy a real 1960s or 70s one!
Ok, Trogly, I think I am having a deja vu problem with this video. I swear I have seen this one a month or two ago. I looked but could not find it. Is there another one with the toggle switch tag with the poem?
LOL! Austin says the pickups are "Pretty Hot" at 8.2 ohms and 7.34 ohms! Give me a classic 70s/80s era Dirty Fingers set at 16.0 + ohms or 500T/498T at 15.0 + ohms anytime over the rest of Gibson's pickups, now that's a "Pretty Hot" pair of pickups! If you want to blow the roof off the joint or peal the paint of the walls, then look no further than DIRTY FINGERS BABY! LOL!
@@andrewgabrielmusic Interesting. It works well on the Humbuckers I've tried, but I haven't tried that particular one. The height of the pickup "body" also makes a difference. Lowering the body may also help with clarity. It's important to experiment, but it's prudent to take measurements before making adjustments, in case they don't produce the desired results.
$22K for a banged up LP? Not for me. I will stick with my $600 LP style guitar which sounds and plays really good. It's a great guitar but doesn't justify $22K IMO.
I love guitars especially Gibson Les Pauls but it must be nice to throw a hundred thousand dollars for so many Les Pauls that would be a dream come true for me
To charge over $5K for this thing is more about paying the CEO's bonus (!) It sounds better at the bridge than my $800 LP 'Deluxe' but the neck is too dirty. I prefer the sound of my '13 Standard that I paid under $2k for.
I was thinking that for $20,000 I could buy a really nice almost brand new car. But, when you think about it, in ten years this guitar will be worth a lot more than that car!
Alnico II is a weak sounding magnet. Should've had Alnico V for more powerful, oomph sounding pickups. Esp on a $22,000 guitar. The cavity route looks terrible as well 😕
So the guitar was identified through some guys photo book and the guitar was returned to the rightful owner and the guy with the photos says "you can't see my photos no more". Lame
The Murphy lab people are the smartest people in the history of music… to talk people in to taking a brand new beautiful guitar and then they beat it up for you and you have to pay them to do. That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life but yet people stand in line to let someone beat their brand new guitar with a dog chain and a screwdriver, I’ll never be able to understand that I would do my guitars but I guess right?
The irony of the “Mr Dealer” letter asking them to not display on windows when that is exactly what made this guitar infamous
Gorgeous burst reissue, the top, the colour, all. And the aging looks pretty well done, much better than the Greenie one.
2:43 I’m not throwing a 22,000 dollar guitar like that 😂
It's already dinged up so it's no worries.
Dude, for real. Troglys a madman
"throwing" ? like omg gravity could suddenly fail and it slams into the ceiling

I'm buying two and putting Slayer stickers on both of them.
Put a Possessed sticker on the other.
Those SAVAS Guitar Straps have a MSRP of $1295 (made from real Alligator)!
Looks like Gibson went with the cool strap instead of the case.

If you want to blow the roof off the joint or peal the paint of the walls, then look no further than DIRTY FINGERS BABY! LOL!
Rubber bands on the strings with 8 gauge false gold strings is a thing too I guess with those poly puke metal and taylored swift players...
Dirty fingers are painful my favorite pick ups. I love those things. 3 Cheers for, whatever ..
PS: false gold or fools gold? I wonder if guitars strings could be manufactured with fools gold ? Ha ha
Resistance that's all.
Back when they were the hot KBD, King got his Dx7 synth fixed at Cintioli Music.
You know if they put these in that pro case, the price would have been $25k, if not $30k!
Edit: that bridge pickup is fire 🔥
Savas website has "The Guitar Strap" ahem, cheapest is $695, alligator skin is $1295...for a guitar strap...
It WOULD be such a beautiful LP without the ageing BS...
A lovely and good-sounding Custom Shop guitar. If it were priced $10K less.
I just saw Isbell and no red eye 🙁 But it was humid and hot so no surprises, reallly 😂
Ed King’s old guitar looks more like a strat in the photo
That's because it was lol
It aged over the years. It was almost new then. My Strat has almost aged to its full 59 LP form. Can’t wait!
Regarding the muddy neck pickup sound, just raise the pole pieces a bit.

$22K for a banged up LP? Not for me. I will stick with my $600 LP style guitar which sounds and plays really good. It's a great guitar but doesn't justify $22K IMO.
Just don’t understand the over price !!

If you want that look play it till you get it !!
People complaining about the price couldn’t afford it anyway, it’s ok to not be able to afford really expensive stuff
Trogly needs a better amp
He has a Marshall Bluesbreaker reissue amp, which is a great amp.
The case would be great for the USA line but for 21 grand guitar, it sucks 😂
I’m fully convinced Dirk Ziff is hiding the “Beano” Les Paul in his collection. But I’m a random so take that lightly!
I love guitars especially Gibson Les Pauls but it must be nice to throw a hundred thousand dollars for so many Les Pauls that would be a dream come true for me
My 1992 Gibson les Paul standard was £900 brand new , it is no different in construction, playability or sound .
That is false. The construction is actually different and time consuming.
To charge over $5K for this thing is more about paying the CEO's bonus (!)
It sounds better at the bridge than my $800 LP 'Deluxe' but the neck is too dirty. I prefer the sound of my '13 Standard that I paid under $2k for.
I am sending you all my guitars to review!!
I was thinking that for $20,000 I could buy a really nice almost brand new car. But, when you think about it, in ten years this guitar will be worth a lot more than that car!
They are really cheaping out on the case. I bet it costs them as much to have a 3rd party biold a custom case as to make the guitar
Ed had taken very good care of this guitar.
THEY HAVE TO DO A "PEARLY GATES". I'D SELL A KIDNEY FOR THAT ONE. 🤘🤣🤘
The savas straps start at $695.00.

Alnico II is a weak sounding magnet. Should've had Alnico V for more powerful, oomph sounding pickups. Esp on a $22,000 guitar. The cavity route looks terrible as well 😕
So the guitar was identified through some guys photo book and the guitar was returned to the rightful owner and the guy with the photos says "you can't see my photos no more". Lame
Does it come with a roadie 😅
Way way too much money, comes down to it. It’s the player that’ll make the guitar sound great😊
Well the collection of paper products that come with it will instantly make any ol joe a pro!
Would love to see your reaction when you get the bill at a Michelin restaurant
I choose two guitars that cost $10,000.
I wil take 4 guitars of €3000 and use the rest for a vacation !!!!😃
The Murphy lab people are the smartest people in the history of music… to talk people in to taking a brand new beautiful guitar and then they beat it up for you and you have to pay them to do. That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life but yet people stand in line to let someone beat their brand new guitar with a dog chain and a screwdriver, I’ll never be able to understand that I would do my guitars but I guess right?
It's an old concept with many applications. Demand dictates production.
Is new and shiny cool?
