What? What the fuck did you think it would be? As a huge Tool and Adam Jones fan this is an incredible guitar! I love the case too, they look so awesome!
I paid $600 for my 79 standard back in 1982 brand new, still love it. But I'd never pay $2-3K or more for a Les Paul today. Gibsons pricing is rediculous, and theres really nothing that special on an arist model that justifies the insane prices. They play a Les Paul and maybe changed the caps or a pickup or the tuners. Those parts are stock on a reproduction/copy, so it's not like those parts cost thousands more off the shelf. You could buy a used guitar and put those same parts in for thousands less.
@@tjailts Eh, I'm not the biggest fan even when it's done right. But christ the adam jones ones are bad. Like even beyond how you feel about the process and philosophy, the technical skill there was just subpar.
If I paid 10k for a Gibson custom and it had that mirror on it, I would sell it to one of the chodas online offering 20k for it. Then buy a real vintage silverburst, a modern silverburst, and put 12k in the bank.

One of the absolute least popular finishes of my time, still remember seeing them hanging collecting dust in the music stores. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT EVERY DAMN ONE !!
I'd rather have a real vintage silver burst. Not only will it have honest wear from decades of actual play but I wouldn't be afraid to really play it. But that's just me. I guess if you got the cash and it's what you want go for it, just don't drop the fricken thing! Thanks for your continued time and expertise Trogly, can't wait for part two!!!
Totally agree, my bass (which is a 1983) has a ton of dents and dings all over. Not only does it given the bass it's own "personality" but I makes me less afraid to actually use it.
For that kind of money you could buy a real vintage guitar and have a better investment. This is 'baseball card' marketing. Print or manufacture a limited amount , put a high price on it and hype it and wait for a strike. Gibson tries to con you that this is as desirable as a vintage guitar, which they can no longer make money from.
Or you could get any two of an R8, R9, or R0, and have _two_ guitars that are really worth playing, and haven't been pre-damaged for you. Or just commission your own Custom Shop guitar, for a true one-of-a-kind.
I totally agree but in fairness even the original silver-bursts have a crazy surcharge on them these days. Not sure if that was caused by the guy whos signature guitar this is or Trogly's videos professing his love for them. They sell (or are listed) for more than all the other finishes from that era. I would go for an original silver streak custom + a newer r9 for the price of one of these silly things (or even an original)

He's laughing at them all the way to the bank . He would be suing the ass off all the companies producing clones, if he could, but that's not the way it is with pedal circuitry .
@@shaunw9270 I am saying it makes sense that they are expensive if one person produces them and should be less expensive if mass produced. I am not coming from a "magic dust" side, just from production side. I don't have a dog in the fight, the klon "sound" is not my favorite, and I am sure other companies have made a good if not better clones of circuit.
I`ve never been so Underwhelmed by both a guitar finish I`ve never seen, & and an artist I`ve never heard of, & folks are fighting over them-REALLY! I`ll be over here in the corner playing my Pacifica!
"This video would be like an hour long..." he says while Tool fans are paying attention. Lol. I can't wait to see these on the bench and then the demo. They look beautiful.
Easy way to fake a seam line would probably be to use a stiff metal ruler (or something with a very straight, but not sharp edge, you’re trying to dent the finish, not cut into it) and gently tap it with a mallet.
The problem with that is that the guitar top is bellied. In order to do it it right you'd need a steel strip (ruler) that had been pressed to match the curve of the guitar top at the point that you want to put the line, then run a razor blade along the top using the steel as a guide. ..... Though I am not sure why Gibson couldn't just do a poor quality three-piece top with visible seam lines. Surely Gibson would be capable of shoddy workmanship - or is that only possible when it _isn't_ wanted?
I love Tool. They been bringing the best rock-metal since 92. Brilliant band. But as other commenters have pointed out, what's with this ultimate act of fanboy unoriginality? You would think Tool fans would think a little more. Just get a good solid guitar that speaks to YOU and find your own voice. Ok. It is a cool guitar, I dont think anyone argues that, Its the money. If THEY are willing to pay... "I sold out long before you ever even heard my name, sold my soul to make a record..."
Cool to finally get this episode! although it could be seen as a bit 'anorak'-y, if you're paying that money, you want it as close to original as possible. Major props to you for being so clued up on the minutiae of these instruments and the historical counterparts.
I would argue not just the most-hyped, but maybe the most over-hyped. To each their own, I realize a lot of people love these for some reason, but I am definitely glad I do not like these silver-bursts. They're not bad looking guitars by any means, they just aren't worth the surcharge in my opinion. I think the Silver streak and all-gold finishes are the coolest finishes from that era. Ferrari red was also pretty sweet, just more on the boring side
Trogly has somewhat long history with silver burst....I think he said the first "expensive" guitar he bought was some limited edition (or custom shop) silver burst Les Paul, so....
@@tjailts To each his own I guess. If nothing else, it keeps you from being too precious with your guitar...why worry about another ding? When done right, it makes the guitar feel broken in.
I just can't do it... I can't pay a premium for someone to beat up my instrument for me... I get why it's done, and I can see why one would want a faithful recreation of one's idol's #1 down to the last sweat drop stain, but it's not for me. I like to buy nice stuff and strive to keep it nice. I do like the VOS aging, as it just gives the appearance of a naturally old guitar, but the relic? No thanks. If it's your thing, (and apparently, it is for many, haha) more power to you. We should all get the gear we want, and if you've got the coin, pull the trigger. I'll stick with my quilts, flames, and burls lol
Just custom order and have Gibson build you a standard custom silver burst play it for ten/20 years and you'll have the same guitar with he "aged look" they are over charging for now.
Hey Trogly, have you ever considered doing a review of the 2015 Epiphone Tony Iommi signature? I recently bought that guitar and found it to be quite good for an Epiphone.
The geometric design on the back of the headstock represents Adam from the Fear Inoculum release. The limited edition CD's had a different design for each band member.
i cannot get along with a new looking silverburst. i just dont like the color combo whatsoever. but these aged greenish looking ones i totally dig. on a totally different note the pricing is astronomically insane. i am a huge Gibson fan, but cmon...10k right out the gate? hard pass.... this is why Fender is the "working mans" guitar. i personally own 1 single gibson guitar. would love another one. but the pricing just takes me forever to save up and i am not patient enough. i can get 2-3 custom shop fenders for this one adam jones les paul.and like i said im a big gibson fan but it almost never makes financial sense to me as im not an investor looking for a profit.
I unfortunately lucked out,on this Adam Jones run,but now I own a real 1979 silver burst custom,that's been played in for twenty years,by a famous guitarist,Mark Gemini Twait!!!!🤘🤘🤘
I had an L6S in silverburst, and Adam saw it and wanted to buy it because it matched his Les Paul. He explained to me that they were originally silver that turned green over time. Anyway, he balked at my 700.00 price tag! That was a long time ago. Nobody had any dough back then.
I'm pretty sure the dents on top that you thought were from a bracelet are from a strap hitting it when it's put down. I have a Strat that has a bunch of dents in a line because my strap had a brass loop on it that hit the body when I put it down.
I love your honest reviews and that you are not afraid to say your opinion. There are so many unpacking videos online but without any critical comments. If i would spend this amount of money I would expect an exact replica of a 79 custom in colour, weight etc. and a more realistic aging. The whole Hardware looks brand new. Love Adam Jones and TOOL but this is a bit disappointing. Can‘t wait for your closer review. Best, SR
Very cool, looking forward to the continuation! I have a Les Paul Custom in a vintage silverburst finish that came from the custom shop in 2016. Was a limited run and you don't see them often. Mine doesn't have the volute so it was probably based on a different year.
Guitar companies like Danelectro did those kinds of solid bursts on cheap guitars to cover crap wood and Formica back in the day. If I was spending that kind of money on a Lester, I would want a burst, or a finish that shows the grain.
Why is the hardware so perfect on the aged and signed?? I like the VOS more than the aged and signed. I think prices are going to crash. Doesn’t live up to the hype!
It's really cool to see these reviewed together. Personally, I do not understand the appeal of a pre-aged guitar, I think that look should be earned. Even when you buy a used guitar with that much wear you know someone really worked it.
Beautiful, not a huge Tool fan but don't dislike them. Not a huge signature fan as I am a player more than a collector. All that being said, I like the look of the original in the middle the best, the color and depth of the burst. Just the overall look, original 100%.
@@g.koch. For sure! My #1 right now is a Jimmy Vaughn signature strat (Only due to an insane deal I got on her, my first Reverb purchase). One of the butteriest strats you'll ever play. 🤔😬😎
You're better off just getting an LP body and applying Silverburst to it yourself. I'll say it again, Epiphone should make a teardrop Silverburst LP Custom, they would sell like hot cakes and they wouldn't look like snot due to "aging". Btw, unaged silverburst is definitely one of the coolest finishes Gibson has ever done. Also hot take, but buying guitars already relic'd seems kinda pointless. Just play the damn thing yourself and relic it naturally. I can see how collectors may like it though.
Mannn... thanks a lot troglys, I'm starting to really drool over all these silverbursts. I love the colour that the silver ages to. VOS looks nice too. Just an FYI for you collectors, there's an '81 for local sale near me and it still looks quite silver, case queen most likely. It's on Kijiji in Alberta if anyone interested. I don't have enough money to offer the guy rn, or I would have already hehe.
Quick Question. Is the aged version also lighter in weight? I'm surprised to hear this with the VOS model. The original Silverbursts are back breakers.
I heard about the adam jones and gibson collab last year and was hyped for a new looking silverburst. I cant get down with the already aged look since it will look ancient in the years to come.
Vintage Original Spec. Basically - as it would've been new, but kept under a bed for 30 years with some light aging effects to the hardware and dulling ot the finish
I found really cool Agile AL-3000 for sale yesterday at a local music store for $349. I have two AL 2000s, which I got pre-owned for $99 with case and $199 without case. I went on the Rondo Music web site and low and behold they have a Silver Burst LP clone for $549 but you have to order one. If your not a Cork Sniffer with money to burn check it out. These guitars are better than Epiphones and will give Gibsons a run for their money. IMHO.

But the aged silver paint totally changes the tone of the guitar!
@@joshuadevries3459 the problem with the fake aging will change in 30-40 years, as that paint will now age just like the old original paint.

I'm pretty sure the dents on top that you thought were from a bracelet are from a strap hitting it when it's put down. I have a Strat that has a bunch of dents in a line because my strap had a brass loop on it that hit the body when I put it down.
I love your honest reviews and that you are not afraid to say your opinion. There are so many unpacking videos online but without any critical comments.
If i would spend this amount of money I would expect an exact replica of a 79 custom in colour, weight etc. and a more realistic aging. The whole Hardware looks brand new.
Love Adam Jones and TOOL but this is a bit disappointing. Can‘t wait for your closer review.
Best,

Very cool, looking forward to the continuation! I have a Les Paul Custom in a vintage silverburst finish that came from the custom shop in 2016. Was a limited run and you don't see them often. Mine doesn't have the volute so it was probably based on a different year.
Guitar companies like Danelectro did those kinds of solid bursts on cheap guitars to cover crap wood and Formica back in the day. If I was spending that kind of money on a Lester, I would want a burst, or a finish that shows the grain.
Great work, mate👍
"it's a ok job"
that phrase appeared too many times...
Why is the hardware so perfect on the aged and signed?? I like the VOS more than the aged and signed. I think prices are going to crash. Doesn’t live up to the hype!
YEEEEEEESSSSSS
It's really cool to see these reviewed together. Personally, I do not understand the appeal of a pre-aged guitar, I think that look should be earned. Even when you buy a used guitar with that much wear you know someone really worked it.
Beautiful, not a huge Tool fan but don't dislike them. Not a huge signature fan as I am a player more than a collector. All that being said, I like the look of the original in the middle the best, the color and depth of the burst. Just the overall look, original 100%.
Some signatures can still be great players
@@g.koch. For sure! My #1 right now is a Jimmy Vaughn signature strat (Only due to an insane deal I got on her, my first Reverb purchase). One of the butteriest strats you'll ever play. 🤔😬😎
@@Louis_Rain Nice!
"Japan always gets the nicest stuff"
Me as a gearhead and a guitar fanatic I can assert that statement is true
It is always Christmas here everyday.
Welcome back, chocolate ice!
You should do a neck dive test on all your guitars
@@CaptainCraigKWMRZ //// it’s too bad he doesn’t read his comments
At some point the Bridge pickup fails and send it over to rewound but it's a Jb (but the logo wear out) and the other it's a Jazz no logo vintage wire
You're better off just getting an LP body and applying Silverburst to it yourself. I'll say it again, Epiphone should make a teardrop Silverburst LP Custom, they would sell like hot cakes and they wouldn't look like snot due to "aging". Btw, unaged silverburst is definitely one of the coolest finishes Gibson has ever done.
Also hot take, but buying guitars already relic'd seems kinda pointless. Just play the damn thing yourself and relic it naturally. I can see how collectors may like it though.
I agree. Ive always been an epiphone fan myself id like to see a silverburst but rn im really diggin the new 2020 prophecy lineup
If Epiphone made a really nice Adam Jones signature for around $800, I would happily buy it.
Mannn... thanks a lot troglys, I'm starting to really drool over all these silverbursts. I love the colour that the silver ages to. VOS looks nice too.
Just an FYI for you collectors, there's an '81 for local sale near me and it still looks quite silver, case queen most likely. It's on Kijiji in Alberta if anyone interested. I don't have enough money to offer the guy rn, or I would have already hehe.
That's the pentangle from inside the spaceship in Quatermass and the Pit 1967
I'm really glad that I've bought the VOS one. The Aged and signed just doesn't look quite right somehow
I’m wanting to see the Gibson les Paul acoustic without the visible pickups. There’s one on reverb for around £8000 I think
You would think the history channel should give trogly a shot on cable TV.
please review the jeff tweedy signature sg
You mean to tell me that the cases were damaged and Gibson still put them on the shelves? That’s just asinine.
I don't really understand all that hype...
Is the headstock angle norlin era? No one ever mentions this.
Also couldn't tell, did they get the volute right?
Austin I hope you realize one of your videos can actually have an impact on the market at this point. I'm not a jealous person but you make it hard.
I love this channel! Thank you for the honest review!
Quick Question. Is the aged version also lighter in weight? I'm surprised to hear this with the VOS model. The original Silverbursts are back breakers.
I love LPs and deep down don’t care about Adam Jones signature but for some reason am intrigued 😂
I heard about the adam jones and gibson collab last year and was hyped for a new looking silverburst. I cant get down with the already aged look since it will look ancient in the years to come.
Hey trogly do you think you could review that billie eyelash signature fender uke?
@@CaptainCraigKWMRZ Remember when he opened for Bullet For My Valentine? 🤩
His..I am sure it's obvious, but what's VOS?
Vintage Original Spec. Basically - as it would've been new, but kept under a bed for 30 years with some light aging effects to the hardware and dulling ot the finish
Thank you!
I can't wait until this Tool guitar overrated crap is over!! Enough is enough!! Another 2020 let down!!
Almost as big of a letdown as fear inoculum.
Yeah! What's Trogs Cut! Used to think he was pretty COOL! Now I know better!
The old silverburst looks way better with the yellowing if the binding
I found really cool Agile AL-3000 for sale yesterday at a local music store for $349. I have two AL 2000s, which I got pre-owned for $99 with case and $199 without case. I went on the Rondo Music web site and low and behold they have a Silver Burst LP clone for $549 but you have to order one. If your not a Cork Sniffer with money to burn check it out. These guitars are better than Epiphones and will give Gibsons a run for their money. IMHO.
