I like walmart just walmart 😂
Easily the #2. I love that unburst look. The rare carve is cool, and that its called the Gibbons carve is even cooler (big fan).
Both prototypes are amazing! £2 aged dirty lemon ..breath taking!
However my taste has me desiring that black custom in that first case with gold, perfect! Is that the ‘81 black custom you recently got?! Amazing as always!
Be well! ☯️
Great Episode, Great Demo, Great Guitars, Thank You.
Honestly, I didn’t vibe with any of this today. The hype over les paul tops and historical stuff is overdone for me, it’s too niché, it’s not interesting enough for me to really care about. Especially the historical replicas. I want Gibson to instead use every tool thats around now to make the best guitars of today, not relive their old days into irrelevance.
I vote Trogly wears that jacket in every thumbnail from here on.
Hahahaha nope. Mine haha
That jacket made me think of Mark Agnessi wearing his leather jacket playing some ultra rare guitar at Norms...you just knew those zipper teeth were scarring the back of the guitars he played.
@@davidlynk210 noooooo, you killed what could've been the next big Trogly show meme :(
@@Wilco1972 Or Lemmo handling those rare vintage guitars with all the rings he wears.
@@joermnyc I've never noticed his rings...but I'm sure they'll be all I can see from now on 😄
8:55 guess I’ll have to reset the “days without mentioning a silverburst” counter. alas.
as soon as read this he said silverburst alomst at the very same moment
I live in the same town as Michael Weber. My son went to school with him, Michael’s only about 22 years old. I’ve seen him play multiple times, he’s been a ripping guitar player since he was very young. I’ve met him, and he couldn’t be a nicer, more polite person.
Thats awesome! Michael is an absolute beast of a guitar player
Oh yeah, coffee is ready and Trog is in the house, you all know it's a good day.
Damn what time is it here in las vegas it's 8:46

WOW THAT GUY AT THE END IS A 1ST CLASS PUTZ!
I bought an aged Lifton style case for my '57 junior since the alligator case was falling apart. Found it at Long & McQuade collecting dust because no one wanted to pay $700cdn for a flippin case! Neither did I but they worked the price some for me, ended up closer to $500, still expensive but it looks good with the guitar :/
Enjoyed this episode of Troglies very much! Thanks for sharing, peace and love from Alberta
Kinda got confused there for a moment when Michael was playing the Gibson with B-roll footage of Black Fender tele deluxe in the background lol
Appreciate what you do. Your the top of your class
I love that he randomly busts out the Adam Jones just to assumably troll.
I believe 2020 is your year Austin, you’ve made lemonade out of the going’s on in the world; thanks again for more rare guitars and historical information.
I had to chuckle a little bit when you were holding the box cutter at the beginning like "Where's the box?" Haha, it's a habit I guess. Awesome video as always Trogly!
Trog you are starting to get into scalper and insider trading territory. Getting a little shifty considering your mark up.
rare + nice stuff gets high prices. Everything else I list sells within 24 hours
@@Trog that's a fact jack!
I think the term you are looking for is "wholesaler." He buys so much inventory he gets connects and opportunities to buy things below retail. It's literally how this guy makes a living. It's also how pretty much any major store you shop at exists.
Trogly!!! Good nite! Love the show! Can't stay mad at you ! ( The silver burst)
"Relic-ed" guitars remind me of kids who get tough looking tattoos, but have never left their parent's basements. If you want your guitar to show wear, try playing it; a lot.
When I dinged my VOS spec R8 I was crushed. But one day I was at a bar and this band was playing - they were actually great players but the tone was garbage. Anyway my Les Paul was in the car outside so I brought it in and told the guy to play it. The entire room sounded better, but he added a ding to it too. After that it acquired a few more tasteful rash marks and I have been home free ever since! Getting over the hump of a really nice new guitar to "here we go" is an emotionally tough journey 😅
Been playing my favorite guitar religiously about 6-12 hours a day for 3 or 4 years now, still not a whole lot of wear n tear to show for it. Took a dremel and a razor blade to it, caked some dirt on the plastics and now it plays like a dream AND looks the part for when I start gigging in the next couple years. As a 19 year old, not everybody has 15-20 years at their disposal to wait around just so that their favorite guitar *looks* like it’s their favorite guitar, particularly poly finishes, those things are f*****g impenetrable. I’d rather not have a wife and children by the time my guitar gets it’s first sign of major buckle rash
@@assnapkined9295 But is it cool to be a poser? I can tell you a story about every single ding and scratch on each of my guitars. Just because the narrative of modern day society is to deem anything posted on the internet as truth, "faking it" still doesn't work with rock and roll. It never will.
@@assnapkined9295 anybody who would judge you or your guitar for not being "used and pounded" enough is a hard on. When I was a little skate rat in the 80's there was always awful rumors of some local skater or another being "caught" putting bullshit scratches or scrapes on his new deck. It was scandalous. Worse than a razzing out about one's Momma. Lol
@@Pooch1069 idgaf lmao all I know is my guitar looks sick now. I think you guys overthink this way too much. I don’t think anybody cares if you’re “posing” with a “faked” relic’d guitar, in my opinion there’s no such thing. IMO sitting there analyzing whether somebody is a “poser” or not is significantly less rock and roll than taking 5 minutes to abuse a guitar with a dremel and some dirt. One of my guitars I was experimenting with removing the finish, I used a blowtorch and a dremel since I didn’t have a heat gun and I gave up after like 10 mins bc I got lazy, it’s all scorched now in some places and has a couple super deep gauges from where the dremel slipped. Looks fuckin awesome lol. How is that different than being able to “tell a story about every ding and scratch on each of my guitars.” I think people see a beat up guitar on stage and they think wow that’s rock n roll asf I think it’s as simple as that
The True Historics actually first came out in 2015 not 2017 and ran through and into 2017 (although 2015 & 2016 were the main years of production, running in parallel to what were called “Standard Historics” which were “lower” specification, including in 2015 only no long neck tenon on the Standard Historics of that year).
I prefer putting my own dings and scratches in my guitar. I'd rather not have someone mess it up for me, I can screw up a finish all by myself.
Never understand relics. Never will. I think if a luthier gets in a car accident they just tell the person they reliced their car.
Is there a such thing as a mint condition relic'ed guitar?
Lets be real, the fucking up a guitar yourself ads a story that a relic doesnt get
@@autistichead8137 not everybody has 10-20 years at their disposal to naturally allow the finish to check, tint, rub off etc.
old beat up guitars are badass. Waiting around until I’m a middle-aged man to enjoy them however, is not.
Fender and Wildwood have some videos on "Relic Ready" guitars. They sell guitar that will look like crap in a short time. ua-cam.com/video/o7XEotGkejA/v-deo.html
Best Trogly episode yet. Lot's of unique items, surprises and humor. I'd still go with Prototype #1 !
This guy rules. He makes me happy. He should have way more subscribers.
Good night everyone!
Awesome to see Alpine Valley on that case. It's in my backyard. Nothing like Alpine. Tailgating with 100K people in the parking lots. Great times.
Talking about the Historic being the closest to the real thing and then saying “let’s take a look at the back of the headstock” I was thinking they finally did a truly accurate Historic that came from the factory with a headstock repair 😝 I know people have issues with 70’s Gibsons but the maple necks with a volute really was a lot stronger.
Finally, today sleep early! Thanks Trogly!
Cut the sleeves off the jean jacket, put it over top the leather and button the shoulder leather straps over top the jean jacket to hold it on. I've been doing it that way for 40 years.
To help keep the G string in tune, wind the string going up the post, it helps that steep brake angle. Just a little trick for people that play Gibson
#2 is really beautiful.
Anyone who says “heavy meTal” like you do is banned from wearing that jacket.
And anyone who says buttins is also banned!
Makes me think of the scene in Iron Maiden Live after Death special feature "Behind the Iron Curtain". A mustachioed hip Polish rocker in a discotheque 1985, screams to Bruce Dickinson over the p.a . music that he would like to play heavy metal with a synthesizer. Bruce responds with an absolutely strait face, " No. You cant play heavy metal with a synthesizer " classic. Little did any of us know...
Yea why tf he say it like he should be ashamed of himself
It sounds better than the millennial pronunciation...."meh-uhl". Millennials tend to leave out the hard consonants in two syllable words like matter, button, metal, later and others. Its short of maddening. Our school systems truly suck.
@@alwaysopen7970 are you British? Tf you talking about
What I’ve been waiting for all day
Oh my god!!!!!!!!!! I want them!!!!! That Prototype number 2 gibbons....I need it!
@ThatsRaidillonActually Muh chunky neck!!!!!!! Billy Gibbons!!!! Prototype 2!!!!
@ThatsRaidillonActually 😂
I understand you may have bought a full set of the 6 - 90's custom color series Les Paul's from my former boss of the guitar store, I was the tech at. His son Greg came into the store I'm at now and got boxes from us. I haven't seen those since the late 90's. My fav was the black stained top Standard, looks grey.
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
Great vid!!
That lemon "59". My god......my god
Dude you're def cool enough to pull off that jacket! Looks great. Sweet haul from your friend at gibson. Those guitars look and sound incredible 😍
best way to break in a leather jacket: play sunglasses after dark by the cramps, do everything listed in the lyrics
Go ask some real bikers.
Trogly has the coolest channel on UA-cam
Great vid as always!
Enjoying your episodes immensely--a weekly must-see 'tv' for me. Speaking of the '68 Les Paul reissue/reappearance, have you ever done an installment on the background and history of the original LP reissues from the late '60s? Extra credit if you have/acquire actual examples in order to do so!!
Wow those two prototypes were both a keeper 🙏🙏🙏
Lol when the yt noti doesn’t come fast enough 😂
Who else plays bass but still loves his videos
@ThatsRaidillonActually u should man they are fun
I play the drums ! 😂
I play both, it’s nice when Trogly surprises us with a bass every now and then... then again I’m jealous he was able to get a vintage EB-3... I’d ask Gibson to reissue them, but I probably couldn’t afford that either! (Epiphone did, but at 34” scale, I prefer the original short 30.5” scale).
Long time bass player here. Then the guitar player was late.
Play both but only glance at these once in a while. I'm more of a Dave or Brad type guy as they are more my age and get more into the guitars.
Man you got to be one of the hardest working UA-camrs out there. Good stuff all the time, makes May Day. Keep up the hard work. Have a merry Christmas!! Oh, favorite item was proto number one. It’s not to busy looks like a nice old Les Paul.
The jacket came with 2008 Slash VOS. Limited run of 400. I have one and I have the jacket. Slash was kind enough to sign my guitar and jacket at a meet and greet at the Dallas HOB. He drew a huge skully on the back of the jacket.
Man I would really love that tweed case for my 2008 ES 339 figured top...
I really like that tweed case. Just something you don't see very often from Gibson
Introducing the Ace Frehley 1959 Les Paul by Gibson Custom; the first Artist Historic to feature our True Historic specification set and an unimaginably beautiful recreation of Ace's most cherished guitar as used throughout the glory days of Kiss on stage and in the studio.
Those prototypes were 👍 👍
Really liked the tweed LP case too
Since you say those stickers on the case are like fabric, I'm guessing they're actually reproductions of the satin VIP backstage passes that are used to distinguish levels of access at a concert.
That tweed cases are really cool
Uncasing video? :D
If I wanted you to help me find a certain guitar (specifically a body) is that a service you offer on your NGD program?
The outside of the first case is antiqued, but the liner looks cherry.
idk why, but above all my FAVORITE les pauls are the yellow ones. so i'm down with that last one. *but* since i don't like the red/yellow vibe, my pref is anything with a more wood colored back. - have you ever seen when they do a fancy burl, spalted, or a flame that isn't solely the standard horizontal stripes?
(i saw a custom in a shop, the owner had had his own line of guitars for a while and this thing was awesome. it really stood out because the wood grain wasn't the standard flame.)
That's gotta be one of the nicest les Pauls I've seen in a while, especially for a reissue
Its a guitar. They can call it anything they want.
What is that white Les Paul at the end with the explorer style headstock
Nice LPs! And you got a wonderful collection of invisible guitars too! Lol
do lacquered necks have sticky hand problem like on cheaper pu guitars?
All my guitars are relic - they are all old ....mostly my own bumps ,dings & scratches. ! That's the way I prefer them.!
I like the suitcase with stickers
This channel has had an interesting evolution. Early vids are normal old guitars that are for sale. They were essential viewing before you bought an old Les Paul or SG on Craigslist. Then there were a few unique special ones thrown in here and there, stuff you normally wouldn't find but were interesting to see what made them unique. Then the special / unique ones became much more prominent and some really high end ones started making appearances. Now the transition to 'high end premium Gibsons that you can never afford' is complete. Super rare prototypes and very high end limited editions galore. The best part though is those early videos where he's selling a $1,000 guitar were so serious and now that he's selling $10,000+ guitars he's just himself, minimal salesman mode and really willing to say 'man this aging looks fake!'. Guitars like those will sell anyway so he lets it fly. I appreciate that, though I imagine Gibson cringes (and you know someone there is watching). Always learning something new in any 'Trogley era'!
Am I mistaken that you’re selling the tweed case? I don’t see it on your reverb feed.
There's two on his shop
Would love a video on your Museum plans.
The second case is the one I have got with my LP Custom (late) 2007 (I bought it in the summer 2008 new in the UK), but the interior is red, not gold (as far as I can remember, it has been in storage for years now). Beautiful case, far better then the one on my LP Standard 2003 (black interior, looks like a silly teddy bear).
Most assuredly you would be able too play that Billy Gibbon's guitar! And the jackets not too bad either!! I would, TRUST!!!
I’m totally diggin that jacket 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I love the prototypes!!!
I hate relic jobs. If I buy a new guitar I want a new guitar. If I wanted an aged guitar, I'd prefer to buy an old one. But that aging on the LP prototype isn't too bad. I agree regarding that heart on the top, a little too much for me, too. I prefer the Cherry Sunburst to the Lemon burst, but if I were you, I would put that lemon burst into one of those new cases (the tweed or the one with the yellow interior).
MY Canadian made late 1990's case is pretty beat up and the combo lock siezed up (I had to pull it off virtually to open the case LOL. Greatcase and it has the blanket as well. I wonder if I can find a replacement?
Hi Trogly, thanks for all the guitar knowledge you give us every day, may I make a constructive comment?,....maybe its time to invest a little bit on your «decor» its very, let say, minimal to be polite, maybe you don't see it anymore but we see the inside of your garbage bin all the time...
That's what a lot of us come here for, honest everyday real shit! Not some sellout dickcheese clout chasing douchetuber who chooses good optics over good content.
Have you ever run across that Billy Gibbons SG with the flying v headstock?
Michael Weber, you are awesome! Love your style and attitude, you really dig it! Love from Switzerland🎸🤘
I've been to Alpine Valley a couple times. Saw Motley Crew and Guns and Roses there.
Site of Stevie Ray Vaughan's last concert.
I'm confused. Why is there two "#1 " prototypes for sale on Reverb. They are both 2017 R9. Am I missing something?
You need to have a custom Gibson themed Harley to go with that jacket.
Man I love those true historics. They are the closest in look & feel to a real burst imo. Much more so than any other Les Paul reissue I've played. Granted I've only ever played one real 1960 Burst. Nice guitars though. Other than a historic makeovers with a Brazilian board, the true historic is what I'd pick if I was buying a burst replica.
10:40 R.I.P. SRV
Alpine Valley far out ✌
Cool man. Those protos are awsome. Love #2.
I think the break in period for a good leather jacket is about 15-20yrs lol. I still have the first one I bought when I was 19, I'm 45 now. The jacket itself fits but my arms grew along the way. It's more of a 3/4 sleeve now
Yes. Prototype 02 is probably the nicest LP I’ve seen in your channel.
Awesome jacket! 🤩
We ll I see a lot of old original Gibby guitar cases there ...making me drool....I just bought a pristine Taylor cutaway big box ...just lost my wife too ..no coincidence . At 65 years old ....tell you this ...women come and go but ... your brothers and your guitars stick with you forever ...hopefully !
Uploaded 12 seconds ago! Haha
Amazing video! Really interesting and beautiful guitars
Does it have non potted pickups?
wow cool trogly congrats on your purchases
Trog man, you totally rock that jacket. Break in and do some modelling with a Lessie over your shoulder.
I adore reissues. I like them better than vintage ones.
Really cool episode. Just wondering how many factory aged Les Paul's does Gibson run in a year?
When I realized I'm not the type of player who cares if the case matches....
ikr? I never cared about any of the inane BS...you can't see the guitar or case while playing. The same as when driving your car, you can't see the color.
the jacket looks great on you
oh man i love it i want one
i liked the cherry burst
The true historic was introduced in late 2014 as a 2015 model. It was offered again in 2016 with very few available as 2017 models. Not sure why prototype #1 was dated as a 2017 when the model was phased out.
I have a 2016 and that’s my question
Hello Trogly! I have a Gibson 25/50 Anniversary Les Paul, but need A CASE for it. Currently I only have a Gibson "gig bag" to protect it. Watching this video prompted me to think..."maybe YOU might be the guy to go to" for an appropriate hardshell case for my collectible LP...?? Please let me know. Thanks! Lee.
You can't see the top or case when playing it.
One thing about keeping all of those guitars...You gotta do something with them before you die. You also need to get out and actually play them.
What does the boy at the end know about "classic feeling"?
Was the first official 'True Historic' an Ace Frehley, guitar, which was made in 2015?
The jacket is modeled after a "One Star Perfecto" made famous by Marlon Brando and the Ramones amongst many others...
Looks like a biker jacket. I had a Brooks jacket which looked the same but, was for riding. That thing is for posing.
Ooo the prototype I want
You're cool enough for the jacket. I'm sure thousands would say the same!!! Greetings from Paris, Il
Michael Weber can make that thing sing. He’s a very talented player
Cherry one for me. Sweet!
Wearing a leather jacket is all in the attitude. You have to believe, balls to bones, that the jacket is you and you are the jacket. If you think “it’s not me” or “I look silly” it will show and everyone will feel it, too. You just have to rock that pigskin like “yeah, I’m wearing a kick ass leather jacket, I’m a kick ass kind of guy, so what of it?” The attitude will make it work.
