If you have any star shaped guitars for a hundred bucks I’ll buy it, I’m just too poor for these used car priced guitars
Mad Respect.
👍👏👏👏👍
Goldtop ?!?!
I liked the orange and i also liked the white one but those are the only ones ive seen till this.
Loved you "oxblood burst" idea. Maybe we will be seeing one from the MOD shop
Really wish Gibson would use discreet packaging 🤣 those boxes scream “Steal me”
Good grief Trogley, are you trying to buy out Gibson????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️♥️
Actually more important Gibson needs to ship their guitars in climate bags like Martin and some Taylor’s do. My Gibson Elvis Presley Dove shipped in the coldest month we had this year (Feb 2023) and had a lacquer check/crack right down the centre seam after opening the case….Even after waiting 24hrs.
@@Johnny_Doe Yeah one would think they would want to preserve their builds & not have a return..damn dumb on their part.
I agree with you dbecker33. They should pack them in boxes that say Math Books!
@@Johnny_Doe Buy Gibson guitars, get Gibson results. Does it stay in tune, or did it need surgery for that?
This is the kinda stuff that makes me watch your content every single day. No one is this dedicated and this in depth.
No kidding
This is not dedication. This is business. He definitely wants to resell it and get profit. Simply uses his chanel like a trampoline.
@@keechada then in your context, he's dedicated to his business.
@@keechadayep I thought it. I enjoyed the channel content. That give you a good exhibition of the product, but for reviews I better go with musicians.
I can't believe you went thru 24 guitars in 27 minutes ! Well done. In my opinion they're all beautiful.
Trogly is a real one for doing this for all of us - very very cool to see all of these finishes
On any other channel this would be clickbaity but this is one of the few that literally NEVER clickbaits (unless it's for comedic effects).
That's cool to finally have reached the level where you can put an order like this together and actually get them all. Even a lot of dealers would have trouble with it, I think, because it's not "whatever we send you" it's "what you're requesting". Good job building up the channel and thanks for a cool video!
Trogly is a beast. Historic record indeed. When I was 14 I bought a Gibson explorer from my local store for around $800. It was a E90 dbl. For 2 decades, I had no idea what I even had. When I really wanted to know what kind of guitar I had, I called Gibson. Was not able to get any info. The only info I could find was Trogly's review. So I feel his amazing documentation on this model priceless. Have been a fan and sub ever since. Love your channel Trogly!
You said it............................absolutely "Beast mode".
@@nickphillips1721 Gibson should be giving this guy all the free guitars he needs. If I wasn't literally homeless ATM with sole custody of a 5 year old with autism, I would want a Trogly guitar just because Trogly inspected the instrument personally and you know exactly what you are getting.
Wow, it's pretty damn bad when Gibson can't give you any info whatsoever on a guitar _they_ made! LOL.
@WizardsWithMachinery IKR. best they could do was direct me to the serial number lookup page that describes how to read your serial number. Trogly on the other hand, had a wealth of info on this model. It was made when Gibson was going through transitions and didn't know how to compete with other manufacturers during the metal/shredder Era. I still have this guitar, and even during a hardship, I will never part with it.
That 60s, blueberry burst unbelievable.❤
I love the natural back and sides, when PRS did it and when Gibson does. There's something aesthetically with the combination of the highlight colour, and the natural looking wood which really does it for me.
The white reminds me of a Fender mint green pickguard.
That oxblood will look killer with play wear taking some finish off the arm area exposing the flame.
That Sparkling Burgundy is unbelievable. Wow, what a finish!
Yep loved that one too and would definitely want to buy one some day. What also hit me was - sigh- some of the QA issues again. Only minor things but Gibson is supposed to be the greatest guitar maker in the world (and charges prices to match) so they really shouldn;t be shipping guitars with any issues however minor. Just a little gripe there but if I had that Sparkling Burgundy I wouldn't mind as few cosmetic flaws 😎
I love glossy finishes on carved top guitars. It reminds me of a classic car.
Dropping $70k for a single video is a flex, even if you have every intention of selling them all. I'd love to see a video on how you handle the financials of your business.
What an episode! Sparkling Burgundy in gloss looks stunning. I love Rick Beato but his signature in faded/satin/whatever Sparkling Burgundy, with the open-pore wood grain, looks like a little kid brush painted it by comparison. Thanks, Trog!
My wife would be PISSED
The second blueberry burst is fantastic. Also love the first fuchsia.
That’s a lot of guitars
they still look better than the stock photos. even the solid colors come to life on your video. this is cool as hell! just started watching
Gibson’s stock photos never seem to do the guitars justice imo
Cool vid. That artistic circular shot with all the guitars was especially creative and awesome. Nice. Thanks
I’m so envious of the career you’ve built for yourself. Awesome to watch your channel grow over the years
I'd say proud before envious! I love it when the good guys win
Seconding your idea for an oxblood burst. It would be neat to install rim-lighting in the binding to illuminate the top and let people see those red tones.
I just want to say a big thanks for the daily uploads. It is really entertaining. I hope you keep them coming for a long time. Wish the best
Amazing how Indonesian factories can produce perfectly finished guitars for under 1k and Gibson can't for 3k.
Those burgundy mist ones just blew me away! Absolutely one of the most beautiful Les Paul’s I’ve ever seen
That would be pretty sweet if Gibson made a burgundy mist Les Paul
@@kentfranklin736 🤣 Definitely a shade different than my Fender version!
@@kentfranklin736
I’ll admit, the name doesn’t really make much sense for a deep, saturated red color. Doesn’t make the guitar any less pretty though!
@@dirtydanthesecretsauceman8519 nah it's just a simple mistake. The finish is called "sparkling burgundy". "Burgundy mist" metallic is a fender color... and also looks great on Cadillacs 🙂👍
to me..the white ones look washed out and cheap...maybe black plastics instead of the off white????
I prefer the Blueberry to have teardrop shape burst than that rim burst.
Very cool shot at the end. Frame that!
Stale was a major keyword here. I'm a bit Les Paul'd out, but overall the 50's is always the version for me. Gotta have a beefy neck. Out of these, I dig the amber, blue and fuchsia. And your take on what makes up an awesome flame top is quite the fine line. The ones I thought were outstanding, were just ho-hum. It's subjective, I get it. You've got some major inventory to move now!
Your UPS guy must hate you 😮
Quite the opposite really. I helped him bring these from the truck into the house haha
The natural backs look so great! It gives these a fancier look. I know people say it's cost savings, but it's really not. It's more work masking off the entire body except the top than to just spray the entire guitar one color. And they still have to spray the entire body in clearcoat too. Yes minor savings in finish cost, but countered by more cost in labor to paint it. Also, I'm disappointed in both blueberry guitars you got. Neither have enough purple in them to get that nice color transition. Great guide though for choosing what to get. Sold me on 60s versions and a few of the colors.
Yeah, I have a mid 90s Ebony Standard that's solid black and always get jealous when I see the natural back versions... I actually think the natural back works best on Gold Tops, but it appears they're not offering any Gold Top Standards this year?
I'm not sure really. I stopped following what comes out. If anything special does Austin usually shows it. But I agree natural back gold tops are gorgeous
@@StreetPreacherrGold tops are an option on the 50s standards.
Wow ! I love the way you setup the guitars at the end.
I'd buy a picture of that!!
I love the white top with the natural back and sides. Like vanilla frosting over a delicious pastry.
Lol, that guitar circle at the end was awesome!
‘Did I do this as a flex? No, I spent $70k on these.’ Love ya Trog
Wow you really outdid yourself with this massive purchase. Sweet Custom Colour LP series, and that's crazy amount of Les Paul natural backs, I love it! Now, how to choose between several really sweet solid and flame colors. Looking forward to Gibson doing this with SGs now!
I enjoyed seeing every one of these guitar's. I think the blueberry, oxblood and Fushia are my favorites but I love all of them.
Damn. That ox blood was a letdown for me, but I loved pretty much every other one. I agree with the burst idea! And I'm a strat guy :D I still appreciate the beauty of a Paul, though.
Nice
Hey, thanks
- Paul
That Oxblood paint job might only be visible when performing onstage with bright concert lighting.
Maybe that's what they were attempting.
I only started learning how to play guitar about a little over a month ago & I'm documenting my entire journey on here so watching this was super interesting to watch!
The ox blood is my favorite. Like black but hiding a beautiful surprise
Had to watch this episode again , I love ALL of them , The Classic White looks great with the cream plastics , if the plastics were straight white it would be too much , it would look like a kitchen utensil !The Sparkle Burgundy looks vastly different on a LP compared to other guitar models , it looks SO good ! reminds me of vintage Christmass ornaments.... Thanks again Trogly !!
Loved seeing all the colors. I recently spent some time at Sweetwater seeing a few of these. I do have 1 question. Have you ever reviewed a Heritage H-150? I was pretty impressed with the guitar.
The foam block helps protect from jamming the strap button in the bottom of the guitar, although it would probably work better if it stayed in place. Thanks for the documentation on all the examples!
Great job, thanks man! I've got the Sparkling Burgundy Les Paul Modern, and love that too. I did change the knobs from the stock clear ones to the black and silver top hats. However, after seeing this, I'm kinda tempted to swap out all the knobs and plastic parts (pickup surrounds, scratchplate, poker chip) for white ones, as that looked really cool.
I own a boutique Les Paul with that Ox Blood burst as you suggested and yes it is a beauty. On the darker areas the flames are almost non visible but it turns to a nice amber color in the center.
Have you posted a video of that guitar; it would be interesting to see it!
I have not posted any but I might do it next weekend. Thanks for the suggestion!@@ReidGraves
@@erchamojosue8530 Id love to see it too. I'm a huge oxblood fan (any kind of oxblood).. I really like the way it looks here with the natural back... the more I see it the more I fall in love with it. Oxblood burst would be even cooler though
I LOVE the natural back on these. Red guitars with a natural back is one of my favorite combos
Good show! The natural backs work for some of the colors ("appetite" color in particular was my fave match) but it really let's down some of the other colors especially the ebony.
Love the Circle of Pauls
Just popping in to say I bought one of these in Ocean Blue on a whim. It showed up on Reverb and it was literally the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen in my life. My example has some greens and teals in it, and the flame top does NOT have a bad angle.
I know I likely cherry picked, but I am really stoked Gibson is listening and giving us more interesting colors. Even if it is a short run. Now do this to Explorers please!
I agree about those foam packing blocks. I actually bought a greenie and when it got here the foam block had come loose and somehow found its way onto the top of the volume knob. Of course that got smashed along with the volume pot. The dealer wanted me to take it and have it repaired and I just didn’t want a repaired 3grand guitar so I sent it back. Overall I was badly disappointed in the guitar. Finish wasn’t good and just didn’t play well at all.
Thanks for the reviews.
The 60's ocean blue flame top is my favorite. 50's amber is number 2.
Thank you, Trogly. This video is super helpful at understanding the final product for all these finishes.
My favorite is the ebony 60s, the flamed ocean blue and the amber grabbed my attention as well. Ok the ox blood is very cool.
Wow! That was a great video, best yet. They are all great to own. The plain flat colours were my faves.
they sent you the good flame tops for sure. I've already seen tons that just look like...wood. crazy that they're upcharging for what's the same top as the Classic had last year
Epic haul. I love the Cherry and Ocean Blue.
Trogly has finally jumped the shark.
You think this is a bad thing?
If Fonzy actually jumped this many guitars he would have died young and cool.
@@216trixie Nope. I actually liked that scene.
@@stephenfoley1261 maybe you don't understand the analogy then. Fonzie jumping the shark, referred to an episode that was so bad and awful that it is considered to have sunk the TV show.
That was quite a haul of Les Pauls. I liked the oxblood finish and the flame not being so obvious. I think a similarly dark blue would work too. Generally I like the neck and the back being natural mahogany except for the black/ebony finish where I think having the whole thing black works best.
I'd also like to see an occasional Les Paul with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. I know they did them for a bit in the '70s and there are mixed feelings about it. Plus there are maple necks on the LP Tributes and old models like the L6S that work OK.
Crazy!!!!!!!! I have appreciated your channel all these years.
This brought a tear to my eye,, I love them all
The Sparkling Burgundy is 🔥, followed by the Cherry flame top. But that Blueberry Burst! 💙
14 of the 24 guitars have some type of blemishe.
I've constantly complained about Gibson's so-called "quality control."
I've been burned more than once.
That's why I buy guitars from Sweetwater.
The only problem is that they use FedEx. When a signature is required for delivery, multiple times I've had FedEx drivers claimed to have tried to deliver, that I wasn't home. A complete lie. I was home.
It's a habit with FedEx in my area.
Yeah, I'm pretty much done with Gibson at this point. I just scored a new Korean ESP LTD EC-1000 for $899 shipped that is absolutely flawless from head to toe. I prefer the modern appointments like the extra jumbo stainless frets that will never wear out in my lifetime, ebony fretboard, beautiful woods, finish and top with a nice passive Seymour Duncans combo. It blows away the 70 year old technology still being used on Les Pauls. They'll always have a place in my nostalgic heart, but the quality is vastly different in comparison. And, I've had both UPS and FedEx with your issues. They lied because they simply ran outta time to bring my delivery.
Great job man! Very cool to see all the new choices.
I've got a sparkling burgundy epi LP modern and having replaced the plastics to white with a perloid scratch plate, was already in front of Gibson's thinking here. Agreed, it is a great colour.
Ebony with natural back and sides is my new favorite look. Wow. Stunning.
25:56 YES! *an oxblood that's transparent like that where you don't need the flashlight to see it would be AMAZING.* i get that you might want the flame to be "less" visible... but not INvisible. that would be SUCH a damn vibe. you could bend it towards a lot of styles! i'd absolutely want one. i like deeeeeeep cherry/ox reds like that. but you can't even see it. and i could imagine doing that kind of dark burst would look great on a lot of tops, where it does a fade almost to solid on the edges. or at least dark enough you need the flashlight to see through.
that top as you shine the light on it is such a great color. gorgeous. and it's a regular little tiger under there!
as is, though, literally only the owner would know it's an oxblood. it just looks BLACK. there's not even the intrigue of "OOPS, THOUGHT IT WAS BLACK BUT SAW A FLASH OF RED AND STRIPES." just too dark. but that would've been cool though. definitely would even want that version too!
Woah, that circle at the end! That was ff-in' awesome!
That was an impressive display. The amber (either one) was my favorite. I'm not a cherry fan, but those would be my second choice. Thanks.
Love the green one in the beginning, and the black at the end looks so cool to me.
That Inverness green was beautiful! I liked it better than the Pehlam blue.
what a great episode! i just ordered the ‘50s Ocean blue and it doesnt look at all like the ones you got. mines got a lot of brown and grey streaks and it looks awesome in person!
Legendary episode, they were all beautiful
Love the fuchsia colour!
My tribute came with flame "binding". Mine is a mod collection one, but I have seen others in the store. The Studio might have some, but those are fully painted/not natural back so it does not look like that.
Ocean blue or blueberry burst for me, the reds are also gorgeous
Amazing video! Thanks! Love the oxblood version
Wow great shot at the end!!!
Thank you for this amazing review!
The burgundy ones are awesome. Beautiful.
Will the Oxblood finish fade over time? If so in a few years, those Oxbloods are going to be gorgeous.
The best neck of all time,.. for me... 1971 Gibson SG Jr. Single P90. I bought one from a pawn shop in 1982 for $150. I traded it for a Marshall All Tube 50 Watt Head, a Carvin 4X12 Cabinet and some mics and mic stands and some other stuff,.... and I've been kicking myself in the ass ever since. I have a 150 Watt Randall w/ 2x12's now and it's fine. I have a standard Strat in lite green and a non-reverse Firebird with three P90's. It's a monster and it plays and sounds great, but I still miss my SG.
Details on the Les Paul Pinwheel please
The way they're layed out on the floor looks awesome 👍
Love the ox blood. Just because it's so different
Amazing show! Awesome.
That looks like fun!
end of the video - placing the guitars into that pattern was awesome! what an optical illusion with the headstocks.... thanks for going crazy & buying a boat load of LP's!
Burgundy (sucker for the color) and Blueberry burst were the only 2 colors I liked really. Tobacco Burst is usually my finish of choice, with or without a flame top, guess I like the vintage vibes. Also have a soft spot for Gold Tops but that is just because my favorite LP was a GT, it just played and sounded so nice.
Sparkling burgundy is definitely the one to have. I love the 50s neck the best.
How are these any different than the models they put out back as far as 2017 in the same colors?
I saw "new custom color series" and was intrigued by the bluneberry burst..
Looking up videos in YT led me to mostly 2017-2019 models when searching specifically for that color in the 60's standard model....
What gives gibson?
I loved this!!! Please do more like this! I just recently did this with the new tom delonges! So cool to own them all
Not a Les Paul guy but i do love the natural backs. I Agree the burgundy was the nicest and then the Amber. I think the ox blood is basically for someone who likes ebony but with a twist. Wish they had some with P90s!
I love the natural backs tons better than the red
I agree the cherry gives the vibe of George Harrison Lucy … I had a classic in cherry , super heavy but nice guitars, thanks for the video !!!!!!
Fantastic episode ! Thanks !
just got my 50s blueberry burst in the mail today, it's almost perfect QC-wise, absolutely love it
Great job, Trogley! Now, for all you fellas that like your Les Pauls without a pickguard, but the one you bought has a pickguard, truss rod cover screws fill the pickguard holes perfectly. Just pick the chrome or gold screw that matches the rest of your hardware and Bingo! The screw head is round so it is smoothed out just right. Just a tiny dot of sympathetic hardware rather than a hole! A tip from an old guitar strangler and Trogley fan! Again, good job Trogley!!
Classic White, Inverness Green, Burgundy, Ebony, Cherry, Amber are great. Surprised that neither blue finish got me. 100% love the Ox Blood Burst idea.
Thanks for your channel man! 🤘🏼😎
thanks trogly , huge effort to get this to us , im liking the new colours !
Love the white LP
