This old 80s Gibson advertisement has left me a bit confused. Maybe they are trying to say you'll be able to play fast on them? Who knows... it was the 80s! I'm more impressed by the lack of change in string packaging.
We also ran into a few cool guitars!

How much do you charge for an appraisal? I’m thinking of selling my 2016 ES335 Studio and the prices on Reverb seem way too high (although I’ll gladly accept it)

[@adamcuthbertson1354]

I got my Eclipse for an even 3,000 after shipping and tax

[@charlesbolton8471]

Allison Holmes The prices on Reverb are higher (sometimes) so that the sellers can cover the Reverb fees and still make a profit. I personally know of a store that I visit occasionally that list their inventory on Reverb at 10-20% higher than what they have it priced at in their physical store. This store specializes in top tier vintage and recent high end used gear.

When I first went into my local guitar shop at age 15, I needed some strings and picks. I picked Ernie Ball strings simply because I liked the packaging. Still using them today.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Ernie ball 008s since 1966, still and forever. 1966 Guild Starfire V, 1996 Fender Japan Jaguar HH Hardtail with custom PUs , 1990s Fender Squire Strat with upgrades. All Ernie Ball 008s...

[@blacktoothfox677]

30 years and counting. Still try everything. always go back to Ernie!

[@patrickbrown8540]

I picked them because they were cheap and just so happened to be good!

[@ZepIV]

Trogly, if you ever find one of those Music City Jr.'s here in the states, I will definitely buy it from you after the review. I've been looking for a good one at a good price for years. GOOD LUCK!

[@CosmicHippopotamus]

Get in line, brother. Haha

[@charlesbolton8471]

Jacob G I’m in that line, too. The last few listed on Reverb didn’t even have the original case in addition to being overpriced. I think some of us are just going to end up having to go the Made to Measure route to get one.

[@rocksimpson4800]

Trog, The multi finger pamphlet is the artist's interpretation of fingers moving so fast and fluid that appear to be blurring together. (or an x-tra set of fingers) I pondered that many years ago when I first saw one of those pamphlets.

[@USSCYT]

Yea. It also has more than 4 strings as well.

[@longlivegarybusey6409]

Or the artist is cross eyed and it looked just fine to him.

[@Xaltar_]

A roller bridge without a trem adds an interesting dynamic with bends. I know a few guitarists that like a roller bridge on a fixed bridge setup. I kinda like it myself, I feel like bends are easier but that could just be in my head, I also top wrap my strings so... I do find it helps a little with tuning stability, an area all the LP/SG headstock style guitars hurt a little. Thinking of adding a roller nut to my LP Traditional too, just for giggles to see what it does.

[@captainhowdy3104]

Xaltar, ever tried those bent steel saddles, fender and Wilkinson make mostly. They are just a bent one piece metal with no notch. I love bending on those.

[@captainhowdy3104]

There are some nice roller bridges that just pop on and off, be careful with the gibson...most the ones I see for sale fit the epi. Type with the slotted screw.

[@allstopblue5717]

Yeah roller bridge is definitely more about tuning stability not so much about bending. With Gibson style guitars it’s all about the nut slots when it comes to tuning though. That’s where the real difference is made. Top wrapping or not is all about personal feel, some players like it, some don’t. Some guitars like it, some don’t as well.

[@captainhowdy3104]

@@allstopblue5717 you mean les paul style guitars.....I can think of a few gibsons with awesome string pull

[@Xaltar_]

@@allstopblue5717 Agreed. Like most things, personal preference has a lot to do with it. I like top wrapping on my LP but not so much my SG, that one feels better with the tail piece raised and strung the normal way. It's because of the neck angle, my SG (epi) has a shallow break angle compared to my LP (Gibson) so top wrapping makes the break angle over the bridge too flat, even with the tail piece slammed to the deck and I get some string buzz. On my LP top wrapping plays and feels much better. So there can be some technical considerations but mostly it's about feel. I do want to get my hands on a string butler for my open book type headstock guitars and see how it effects tuning stability. My LP in particular keeps going out on the d and g strings, it's barely noticeable but it's noticeable.... A bone nut and nut lube helped a lot but it could still be better.

[@Riverdeepnwide]

A roller bridge seems odd on a non-trem guitar but it will save a lot of string breakage for the heavy and fast hitters. Regular saddles can act like little guillotines when your customer is in a punk band and his amp is just wee bit too small.

[@allan6070]

I ended up buying that guitar 😍

[@johnhenfrey5936]

Thanks for taking us shopping Austin, have a nice weekend.

[@timlovegrove1097]

Re: the roller bridge: I would assume it's less to do with the rollers and more to do with the positionable saddles. I have a Mexi Precision bass where the tailpiece is ever so slightly too close and therefore the scale length is a fraction off, and no amount of adjustment can quite get the low E intonated correctly because the saddle doesn't quite move far enough. A bridge like that would solve that problem, especially if they're not using standard tuning.

[@patrickbrown8540]

Stratosphere was well represented in this video! That is cool, I have bought from them twice and will continue to buy!

[@chvckfventes]

It's kinda amazing to see that the Ernie Ball string packet didn't change at all. That's new knowledge for me there!

[@joecarl5473]

Gibson SB-350 confirmed. Awesome Trogly look forward to more bass videos!!

[@RichardHoogstad]

4:09 Wow who would have thought that the LP studio would go up in price. Still have one similar and in way better condition. I looked up the serial and it even comes from the same year as mine (2006 produced in Nashville) it plays amazing and not going to part with it

[@bipbipletucha]

I actually really dig that Silverburst Standard

[@BillMellow]

Your comment on the silverburst tuners made me cry a little. I had to do that on my 2008 purple Robot guitar after the motorized tuners failed.

[@highseasmarinediaz493]

I put a roller bridge on my legs paul, along with a better cut but and all my tuning issues even with big bends, went away! Solved all tuning issues!

[@banditkeithkingofduelmonsters]

Those gibson/epiphone roller tune o matics are really nice. I try to use them on any guitar if possible, either that or a fender hardtail.

[@bb.6969]

Austin i’d love to watch you make a partsdrawer les paul !

[@Kopperafiel]

Just wanted to say, Spearmint was the official color name of the 90's Gibson Les Paul Special SL's. I've been hunting for one but gave up when they never showed.I tried ordering a new one from Musician's Friend in '98. They were back ordered for so long I gave up and ended up buying an NOS '97 Cherry Les Paul Special.

[@e.overbay7949]

Did you just invent gibsons new pickup?? Mudbucker?? I can already hear the muddled dirty fuzz distortion tones it will produce. Awesome video Trogly.

[@disco4535]

I love guitar shopping with Trogly

[@gertlettorp3137]

I own a ‘70 ies Gibson L6-s de luxe (original except the tuners) and just love it. The frets are getting a bit worn which leads to my suggestion: more info on the fretwire used in the different guitars you review. It is really an area that is never very easy to find anywhere. Like your show.

[@garyhundsrucker7771]

All those prices were still better than the Guitar Center used guitar labor day sale pages! Like double every thing and then some.

[@joshwhitty7024]

That bass is an SB350. Bit expensive, but those are killer basses. I'd love to get my hands on a 300 (single coil) one of these days.

[@johnhmaloney]

The Tele-style pickguard on that Music City Jr. reminds me so much of a St. Blues Bluesmaster.

[@charlesbolton8471]

I love Telecasters and that Music City Jr. is something I’ve wanted since they were new. I couldn’t afford one then. I used to live in Memphis and went to the St. Blues showroom and factory regularly when it was down the street from Sun Studio. Apparently, they moved to the suburbs in Bartlett sometime after I left Memphis. I actually own a Bluesmaster and if it had that Glaser string bender it would basically be a Music City Jr. except that mine has Kent Armstrong Tele pickups instead of P-90s.

[@dongiovanni-m3i]

Austin I'm not a jealous guy, but you make it hard; pls keep the Aldo Nova. Don't forget there's supposedly an LP North Star.

[@Forest_Fifer]

I saw a walnut The Paul in a guitar shop when I was in University in the mid 80s, for less than £200. But I was a poor student and couldn't afford it...

[@Freddy-Da-Freeloadah]

@9:34 Looks like a Telecaster. If they call the Tele with Les Paul electronics a "TROUBLE MAKER TELE" so what we call this? B benders are usually on Telecasters... "Music City Jr."? There must be a more catch name to call this thing. IMHO

[@charlesbolton8471]

Truthfully, they should have called it the Music City Special. The Music City part of the name makes sense since Nashville is known as Music City and it is definitely a hot spot of guitars with string benders.

[@brianchin1830]

In his damn element.

[@clarkbabin9799]

[@IcanWinBig]

Thanks so much. Seems like my investigation goes pretty similar. I do have quite a nice collection going that I feel like I now have some profits to be had while allowing a consumer to feel like they are also getting a good deal. . Simply haven’t posted yet. I do have a guitar I bought a little while back that I find selling for considerably more now and I don’t know how to list it because how do I know if what I have is fake because the serial number was how I discovered the new value. . I am a patreon of yours. Are you open to a conversation? . I certainly don’t want to take advantage and would rather share in exchange for more knowledge too.

The other statistic they need to add is number of returns. Since you can’t leave feedback on a return, there is no reasonable was to judge how often a seller misrepresents merchandise. The whole feedback system on Reverb is a joke, that’s why everyone has 100% positive, including three sellers who sold me guitars with obvious problems not mentioned in the description, nor when they resisted it.

*What's your take on "Corona prices"? I've seen people claiming used stuff sell cheaper because people got it tough economically right now and others say the prices are higher because more people got "free time" to play more.*

[@charlesbolton8471]

I’m no expert, but it seems to me that the used market isn’t much different than it was before the pandemic (other than the fact that physical stores are buying more used gear than usual because inventory on new gear is lower than it should be especially now as we head into the holiday season). With used gear it really depends on what it is someone is selling. People getting desperate and selling gear at low prices to move it quickly happens to people all the time (although it probably is happening more right now). I’ve done it myself, thankfully it’s been over 20 years since I’ve had to do it. I don’t intend to sell anything I currently own. I’ve faired pretty well during this pandemic: my wife is an “essential” worker in healthcare and the company I work for was shutdown for a few weeks, but we were all allowed to file for unemployment and we all still had jobs to come back to (we were also fortunate that the company covered our insurance premiums while we were laid off- I don’t think many people have been that lucky). In fact I’ve worked more hours since I’ve been back than I did before the shutdown. The last day I worked before we shutdown we got off early and I went straight to the guitar store and bought a new guitar to have something to enjoy during my time off. Now I’m about to buy another one.
