Custom Orders You Have to See! (Vintage 50s / 60s)

[@markkozielec2200]

My in laws owned a house in Barbados for 30+ years. Absolutely beautiful country, with wonderful people. I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that I’ve played a Gibson, from the golden era, in all the time I spent there, but most guitars I did touch down there, definitely didn’t react well to the weather on the island. Always warped or humidity damaged. The handmade South American guitars were fantastic. Most other imports not so much. In 2024, air conditioning is prevalent. In 1990, it was still a luxury. There’s likely a shortage of qualified techs also. Most of the guitars sold are at their version of Sam’s Club. I’d, personally, have that one checked over before I bought it.

[@davidwoodruff2245]

Trogly, my friend, I've been a guitar player for 33 years. And I've NEVER wanted a Gibson. I love epiphone. But never understood the thing about Gibsons. But I've been watching your show for 2 years now, and NOW I find myself looking for a Gibson. Ya talked me into it. And no one has EVER changed my mind about them, but you have. Thank you good sir. Love the content! I always look forward to watching Trogly when I get home from work. Rock on brother.

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Why were you wrong for 33 years?

[@KennedyIvy]

You've graduated to a boomer

[@davidwoodruff2245]

@@ChrisShortyAllen I didn't understand the price of Gibsons when I could get a single cut for way less money that I love.

[@MegaHomie4life]

This is awesome

[@guitar_robin]

You should come and check out my collection video that I recently uploaded. I have a total of 76 Epiphone's and also a lot of other guitars. I'm also a huge Epiphone lover and I also own a few Gibsons. But honestly, the quality control of the later Gibsons has let me down a lot of times lately. So, I'm sticking to Epiphone. Preferably the older (Korean) ones! Greetings from The Netherlands!

[@steveparish9210]

Tony Mottola what a career that guy had! Brilliant musician

[@jeffgualandijr9420]

dude, this batch of guitars is absolutely bonkers! i never knew there was a 12-string Firebird.

[@ManOrWomanIDK]

That SG bass six was so cool! I can only imagine the doom metal that could be played on it

[@michaelprokopeck1941]

Elvis Presley had one of those too.

[@Furtheronmusic]

Gibson EB 6. Steve Howe used one on The Steve Howe album alongside that The Les Paul you talked with him about recently that you have back in your collection.

[@DaringDan]

Fantastic guitars. They were all great. The Tele was amazing.

[@Bernieg100]

Big fan of the channel Trogly it was awesome to see a guitar with my name on it love the vids keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@EverestMystery]

Let's go with the day-glo Telecaster!! 🎸

[@greghopkins18]

Drooooll, beautiful 😍

[@shaunw9270]

I've always wanted a Ghost Tele , rare as hens teeth.

[@macgibbon]

Could not concentrate on that tenor at all, because the guy apparently also owns ALL THE TRIPLE PICKUP CUSTOMS.

[@smop]

LOVE the Tony Mottola guitar! That would be one to re-issue

[@andybungert]

wow! Absolutely nutty and cool :)

[@MichaelHoffman-hc1oy]

Trogly , you’re hilarious! Keep the content coming!

[@BrundonC]

Hmmmm interesting. Some of those are awesome!

[@camwinston5248]

J S Peterson..that was the dude on Seinfeld..he was famous for the urban Sombrero! 🤣🤣🤣🤣...oh wait that was J.Peterman 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joedobbins870]

Dayglo Tele is way cool!

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Tony Mottola was an easy listening picker, a few notches below Chet Atkins, but still kind of a big deal from the mid 1960s to the late 1970s. That's quite a collection there, ALWAYAS good to see a Tenor, that's not my cheapo Martin copy.

[@ERiCtheBuLL]

That knight headstock inlay is AWESOME. I've never seen that before and now I want that on a Les Paul Custom.

[@vonroretz3307]

For best Firebird 7, surely its a toss between a Cardinal red or the Black Nickel in this Video.

[@tidepoolbay]

As always, Nice Work! WooF!!🐶🐶

[@Siggy_Sour]

UV triggered guitar shows they were still trying lol. Incredible idea!!!

[@henrykimball6817]

I'm trying to decide if I love or hate some of these!😂

[@ethanhitchcock5431]

Wow so many cool guitars !...Too bad the ' J.S.Peterson' guitar does'nt have the initials ' J.B.Peterson ' otherwise the clinical psychologist from Canada could buy it !...I love the Darth Vader Firebird- VII in factory Black/Ebony , So cool ! Thanks Trogly !

[@acdclexu6296]

11:41 Bonamassa has one and he sayed they are way better dounding than a bass six i definitely believe it

[@comparedtowhat2638]

Know your heraldry. That headstock was a coat of arms with a crest. The knight and castle is the crest. Below that is the coat of arms. The coat of arms was often displayed on shields and other items. A minor piece of information but your description did bother me. Sorry.

[@brianharris7243]

Name engraved guitars= dead musicians family selling it off

[@stevenedwards4470]

Those were really special soldiers. I really like your Crest. 🙄 Have you ever gone thru that on the show? I'd like a run thru of that.

[@janiterinadrum1627]

Have they ever made a Birdland looking guitar with the Florentine cutaway but with a center block like a 335 so it didn’t feed back so much and may be a longer scale of the short scale that I would love to have one of those maybe in white

[@GratefulSeaDog]

Nice!

[@erickmartin5667]

When are you going to show the Gibson WRC?

[@Trog]

5 years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJupZ6KGm7yXaKM&pp=ygUKZ2lic29uIFdSQw%3D%3D

[@erickmartin5667]

@Trog I don't think many people know that Wayne Charvel was working for B.C. Rich at about the same time. Look at the body horns on the WRC and an ST/Gunslinger of the same era, and there's a definite similarity

[@tonygaruba424]

Cool

[@christmasmusicukulele8318]

9"42" Barney Kessel?

[@clarkbabin9799]

I just saw on fb market there's someone selling her father's collection. Including a Special like you recently reviewed. I just saw at least 2 butterscotch blonde Telecasters the same place but they were mx models. Also saw a couple of aged white Stratocasters there too.

[@lawrenceoliver9813]

Check out the 2017 Epiphone Lee Malia Signature Explorer Custom Artisan I think it is something you would really like

[@denverrandy7143]

Yea,his Rd is killer

[@AkirieJ]

I’ve been looking at his signature epiphones for years. their so cool, RD, LP And EX shapes? Ephiphone spoilt us!

[@keithramsay6923]

I had a chance to buy his Explorer for $350 a few years back. It was used, but in really good condition. I'm still kicking myself for passing it up.

[@drzecelectric4302]

It looks like the aliens from the movie explorers

[@nilesanders5110]

I have seen a ghost Tele in the early 70's

[@wiseguy9202]

I actually know Bernie Smith.

[@gibgibGG]

It looked like there was a slight dip on the frets below each string on his guitar. Was that something he had done at the factory? Or by a luthier? Or did it occur naturally? If it didn't happen through playing what was his idea for having it done?

[@wiseguy9202]

@@gibgibGG To be honest, I just knew him. He had many guitars so I'm not super familiar with the details of this particular one. Knowing what I know now, I wish I had paid more attention to this type of stuff.

[@RoboSteave]

Anybody know what Jan Ackermann is playing with Focus on the famous Midnight Special episode? At first glance, it looks like an LP, but on closer examination, I don't think it is.

[@russellmorgan5611]

@RoboSteave. That was originally a LP Personal. According to biog i read, the guitar was damaged in a car accident and Akkerman had it stripped back, a new maple cap and conventional hardware. I even went to Gibson Memphis while on vacation there, they told me Gibson never made a model like that, it must be a custom build. Hope that helps.

[@RoboSteave]

@@russellmorgan5611 Thanks so much. Yes, that really helped. It checks out. What was throwing me was that the fretboard ended in an angle. That and the shape of the horn. Looked at the Personal model and saw both of those. Thanks again.

[@acdclexu6296]

that Knight Headstock is the coolest thing as European Dude ive ever seen here where knights actually excisted and im as Gibson Nerd i dont know that excisted 😮

[@BarryGoins]

Berny guitar fret wear was crazy

[@nilesanders5110]

Bernie might have PAFs.

[@ethanchannell6707]

Hey trogly where did you get your guitar strap at? I see it every video and want one lmao

[@Trog]

out of production. I asked Levy's about a reissue and they said no

[@jeffbarnard9246]

Thank you Trogly I totally love these rare guitars. I wish I owned some of these beautiful babies.
