Another One Didn't Make It... | Trogly's Unboxing Guitars Vlog

[@swaffy101]

That’s me that bought the BB King! Thank you Austin for being so kind to my wife and I. It was an unforgettable experience and I absolutely love the guitar. Dan and Amanda

[@jameshughes6049]

So cool!! Congrats and enjoy!!

[@PeterMoore350]

Congrats too. I hope you enjoy it ! Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘

I just got my SG faded maestro on clearance at GC for $1499 three days ago! Even gave me a black case with it since someone sold a SG supreme with the tan case! Guy said it had been there a year almost.

[@hkguitar1984]

Austin, For your display cases just use the Gretsch style strap-locks, they would be screwed down tight and not moving at all.

[@haggismcmutton4702]

Former Gretsch owner here. Those things would come loose all the time. I would have to tighten them between every song when playing live. Also, he'd have to drill a new hole in the guitar to accommodate those.

[@hkguitar1984]

@@haggismcmutton4702 Good to know, and thank you for chiming in. Yeah, maybe some kind of strap-lock mechanism would be better. I do like the idea of displaying the guitar without any contact on the finish.

[@Turboy65]

Strings should ALWAYS be tuned down to slack, particularly on Gibson guitars, to help take up to a hundred or so pounds of stress off the neck and headstock. That can make ALL the difference between the guitar arriving undamaged and arriving with a broken neck.

[@halcooper3070]

Yeah, that's why the manufacturers slack off the strings... oh wait, they don't.

[@Turboy65]

@@halcooper3070 They should. It'd be smart, but Gibson rarely makes SMART decisions lately. It's simple logic. Slack the strings, take over a hundred pounds of tension off the headstock, give it more tolerance for absorbing a shock. Simple physics.

[@donbishop6994]

A volute would be nice. I don't hear of hardly any guitars with a volute catching a headstock break like that.

[@davidburke2132]

@@Turboy65except when you think that the truss rod is set to apply an equal and opposition torsion the opposite way, so if you stacked the strings off you’ve taken a neck from being in a state of balance of forces to all of a sudden having no pull from the strings and the same significant torsion applied from the truss rod. You’ve oversimplified the scenario and the physics that are going on I’m afraid. You absolutely shouldn’t take the strings to slack before you ship. Some people suggest a little loosening off but I’ve never heard anyone talk about taking the strings to slack, for exactly the reason I’ve explained. If you really want to remove all force on the neck you’d have to slacken the strings AND loosen off the truss rod so it’s not applying any force to the neck either, and nobody does that because it would result in the guitar needing to be completely set up again upon arrival.

[@PeterMoore350]

I’ve bought 6 Solar guitars from Solar since 2020 lockdowns. I currently have 5. They were made in Indonesia shipped to Solars spanish warehouse then shipped down here to New Zealand in either spains winter and our summer or vice versa. Strings were not slacked, all arrived perfectly fine and pretty much in tune, esp the E1.6 FBB which is evertune equipped.

[@dananthony6258]

I’m a sucker for green guitars. This really is something special. I hope this channel last a long time.

[@joermnyc]

Not sure if they’ve changed it up, but I visited the Experience Music Project in Seattle about 15 years ago. They had really cool displays, a few guitars amps and pedals with large format photos of the musician playing. They also had a cool interactive box that let you remove the effects from a few Hendrix songs (and they actually had the pedals in the box because I saw it being repaired!

[@joshuawhited547]

There’s a vintage 1979 Silver burst here in St Louis at A shop called Killer Vintage Guitars and Actually he’s got all kinds of cool stuff there that people don’t usually get to see.

[@DrVink86]

Your video led me to getting a trans teal SG myself

[@MarkEdward-bl6cr]

Bummer on those the Paul's but I have confidence you will find a good one 👍🤘

[@markjamesmeli2520]

What year was the Walnut Strat from? Beautiful, beautiful collection here!

[@thetoneknob4493]

broken and repaired guitars that should be affordable are still to expensive! a headstock that broke off and was re attached should take a 5k$ guitar down to below 1k! but that's not how it goes..finding a good deal is few and far between.

[@JKn1412]

You're insane

[@larryburwell8550]

interesting guitars for sure. my 89 les paul standard is all ebony from and black as it should be

[@tallpaul1020]

Congratulations Austin on your success. Keep up the great work. Love the show and the goodies you sell🎸

[@billthepainter5106]

That green SG looks like a bar of Irish Spring soap!

[@snapfinger1]

Fitting a GK2 pickup system on a LP didn’t work out for me but didn’t mar the finish upon removal. Fond memories of my “synth period”.

[@eddiejr540]

Mrs Trogly: honey, its an earthquake, grab the kids Trogly: oh no, I hope my guitar doesn’t fall outta that sketchy display case🫤

[@dcflake5645]

Earthquake? In Ohio?

[@scottmartin356]

Great to see a shipping episode, but I miss the time lapse packing :^}

[@neil2706]

Don’t worry headstock snaps just adds more toan

[@Johnny_Doe]

LMFAO. GuitarCircleJerk.

[@Wyatt42069]

i know you're circlejerking, but a lot of guys do actually say they sound better after a repair. I've only had one with a repair so I don't have much to go off, but it did sound pretty great

[@donthewatcher]

that is how i started a punk group in L.A with a broken gibson headstock Les Paul $120. Punk tip ship your guitars with limp strings.......

[@myarrington]

Trogly, who did the tuxedo custom go to!?!?!?!? We can support his music if we know ;) why not give him a shout out?

[@jeremiahlyleseditor437]

You might have mentioned it before but, what is the process for repairing the neck? Replacing it or gluing, which is best? I think you're right. The color of the neck is different in the video. Someone can tell it was definitely sprayed again.

[@hostilerampage]

do you own any hamer standards?

[@charlesrocks]

That blue quilted Les Paul is gorgeous.

[@OnlineLawyerUK]

Just get a good local joiner on the job Austin. They will have a display case done in no time. Gibson only outsource stuff like that anyway.

[@Mikey__R]

Hi Austin, have you ever seen a break in a 1970s Gibson with the three piece maple neck and the chunky volute? It seems when Gibson tried to address the problem in their weak headstocks, people didn't like it. Which is a shame as they're objectively a better engineered solution. I prefer a shallower break angle, a scarf joint and heel truss rod access for the ultimate insurance policy.

[@Photognick521]

Willcutt’s in Lexington, Ky?

[@darthvader192837465]

How come the Designer Explorers in the advert have white or black scratch plates and three in a row controls (70s style) compared to the retail versions which have the 80s control layout ?

[@danielbreaux1842]

A lot of great stories here!!

[@AppaBoy]

willcutt is local to me and i love them, my dad owns a willcutt anniversary stratocaster with walnut top (a top on a fender is cool)

[@nohalo7]

Those display stands were originally made and produced by Zither. Gibson stole their design. Dont support those mediocre stands. Get in touch with Zither and they'll treat you right! Stand Authentic. Cause Only A Zither Is Good Enough.

[@chip9177]

My Zither stand just arrived today.

[@charleswood123]

The Gibson ones look nicer

[@PaulCooksStuff]

Nicer if you prefer a bodged together 3 piece base, and have no conscience.

[@nohalo7]

@@charleswood123 that's exactly what's wrong with everything Gibson. Might look nice. But completely worthless when it comes to form and function.

[@balmain2496]

Gibsons are garbage. Buy the real thing. Don’t support scumbag companies.

[@taylorlimbeck6854]

I wonder if that’s schaller strap lock dust crud built up at the heel.

[@PeterMoore350]

1:56 you’re right Mr Trogly that ebony board is the bees knees. I bet feels great to play.

[@J_Al_Dente]

The bridge grind spacing.., after the GK retrofit still remained noticeable. (being prudent) a narrow, possibly a preference, but seems to be a fender gK'd order decision. One needs that stuff before jogging things back and forth. Just hate to see screw holes with indecision. Is that one on your sell list?

[@J_Al_Dente]

Spoke too soon, You clarified it with the Nashville! Trogs got that!

The blue guilt top is nice.

[@wooferdevlin3571]

The Wheel Of Custom Colors is an unrivaled display; must've taken hours to arrange. haha The Paul, isn't it an '81 Deluxe? Truss cover replaced with Custom, but I thought they had T-Tops. What was the first year of Shaw pup's? Ü ♫

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

I don't like the silk screen logo on Gibson's at all.

[@ST-wn7ml]

how much for shipping a V to Australia?

[@Trog]

500-800 usd usually. A lot depends on the insurance value

[@miahconnell23]

Lol, a couple early Gretsch Setzer Hot Rods exist in Australia, and I want the Tangerine coloured one, but the shipping from Oz breaks my spending limit. Folks in Brazil have it worse with import tax… 😢

A Gibson isn't a Gibson unless the headstock has snapped off at least once.
