I Bought Fluff's Signature Guitar! | Ernie Ball Music Man EBMM

[@RiffsAndBeards]

Appreciate you!

[@groovydjs]

Thanks for the shout out. Scott Grove

[@Siggy_Sour]

yt legend!

[@sdi87hhk]

Trogly literally shouted out the whole og guitar community, legend

[@Сунђербобан]

Most of them are clowns

[@aidanfriedfeld8889]

Absolutely. This was honestly a great look into his influences. Love that trogly is a PBG fan. Trogly imo is the goat in terms of the way he presents information. I wish he did more fender stuff and maybe vintage ibanez but I do love that he just is THE Gibson guy. I’d honestly love to get a guitar through him someday when I have the money.

[@BCThunderthud]

the main thing I remember about early guitar KZbin was how many guys would have like $15k worth of amps in the shot but couldn't be bothered to buy a mic for their videos. Almost nobody sounded any good for years.

[@Trog]

And yet... the best players could still make it sound good haha. I remember hating how "pure" the sound was for Fretted Americana videos when they moved to the studio

[@Ottophil]

I still hear videos where i can hear the pick hitting strings more than wherever the signal goes. Biggest pet peeve. I don’t wanna hear you picking!

[@brivington2011]

I'm totally impressed with the level of detail to the routing and painting of the pickup cavities. Nicely done Music Man.

[@EricfromBloatGames]

That color shifting was amazing. They could do an unlimited run of pretty much any of those colors, and it'd be cool.

[@jackieohehir3259]

Gibson should take note of that fretboard....no evidence of ugly tooling marks etc.

[@vladimirpoutine7522]

The tooling marks come from the fact they have binding with nibs. Meaning, Gibson can't use the swing sander smoothing those out, or they'd destroy the nibs. The years they stopped using nibs also lacked the tooling marks.

[@papasmamas1]

Should, but wont

[@Wells306]

You mean people don’t like bad QC’d guitars?

[@cmdxx]

its authentically damaged

[@vladimirpoutine7522]

@@flapjack413 Your right, it's not that difficult to have nibs and sand away the tooling marks after. Until you're trying to pump out hundreds of guitars monthly. They'd have to go back after all the processes are complete and resand the surface of the board. Taking a chance of messing up the plekk'd frets with sand paper. Don't think there's a machine for that yet!

[@Thoughtlesskyle]

This is actually Fluffs 2nd Signature, his first model was a RD style body model by Balaguer guitars called the Hyperion

[@larrynoe6162]

Leo Fender helped found Music Man as a silent partner back in 1971.

[@dw7704]

Due to a non-compete clause with Fender, after he sold.

[@matthewbendele3218]

Phil X and Scott Grove huge shout outs!!

[@presmasterflash7555]

The Epi thunderbird I converted to a baritone guitar was on his ridiculous reverb listings. I dubbed it The ThunderBeast. He ragged on it a little lol. For the record: I put a Tunematic in place where a 3 point bridge was; it had perfect intonation.

[@Trog]

sounds like fun to me!

[@Ramiro1993]

Lol the Changing colors was a nice touch.

[@ST-wn7ml]

nice looking guitar. the attention to detail looks nice. clean, simple, well laid out.

[@TheBeefInYourSoup]

Agufish and you are the greatest guitar KZbin channels because your honest and have great personality

[@chrishansen-crowley3287]

How come there isn’t a Gibson Trogly signature LP silverburst BFG made with a pancake body, a “just right” flame top, super 400 inlays, Tim Shaw PAFs with the stickers still on them, posi-lock strap buttons, those tuners with flip out winders, and an inlay of animals howling at the moon on the headstock? Guys, what did I forget?

[@rockinrob2004]

Staple pup + TS PAF, a stinger, burst on that flametop & back + either a chainsaw case or government green one. JMO Yet you're spot on with the rest.

[@jlo7770]

Naw he'd go for a doofy looking dragon on the headstock howling at butterfly.

[@fade2blacker]

I would totally buy that LOL!!

[@RandyFrancis-s6y]

With a shittoying afect

[@OzziePete1]

Lightly Aged....

[@hkguitar1984]

Nick, Congrats on your new Silverburst and a second congrats to your Son. Judging from the video, this MusicMan guitar exhibits excellent craftsmanship, very cool.

[@Asillyhobo]

I'd always hoped you'd review an EBMM or Sterling Stingray guitar, so I'm glad you bought the Fluff

[@Txkagisan]

iirc he reviewed a john petrucci majesty in the past, but i guess that isnt the greatest representation of ebmm/sterling since its such a unique signature model 😂

[@vladimirpoutine7522]

Scott Grove was one of the originals for me. Posting lessons around the beginning of KZbin. Great collection, seems to know a lot about the guitars he has and then some.

[@PaperBanjo64]

He knows a lot about selling guitars too, he's got an abrasive personality, some don't like but I'm not too bothered by

[@vladimirpoutine7522]

@@PaperBanjo64 Back then it was pretty refreshing to me.

[@CarsGuitarsAudio]

Gotta love Scott Grove And Marty Shwartz

[@michaelpartridge2049]

I came to your channel for the history, got sucked into Les Pauls and now own a 1981 Artist that I bought from CME when I was on holiday!

[@judih.8754]

Phil X and Fretted Americana was great.

[@fntb4gotten]

Scott Grove never gets any love! I learned so much about guitars from him and he is a dude that more often than not knew his stuff and would expose people who tried to sell the guitar snake oil like tonewood. I loved the Tonewood Wars of 2015-2016

[@TunerGuy_90]

Chapman/Andertons was my first KZbin guitar channel.

[@Trog]

Good stuff there for sure!

[@patriottothecore6215]

Don’t forget the legendary Paul Davids and Andy from Shut Up And Play.

[@DrKevGuitar]

Nice review, thanks! The body shape comes the Leo Fender-era Music Man StingRay guitars of the 1970s. Ernie Ball bought the company in the mid-80s.

[@monstrok]

That bridge pickup with distortion sounds massive! wow. Love the color shifting effects on the guitar!

[@bassfingers]

Are you watching, Gibson?. The Trogly Signature Les Paul. You know it makes sense!. 🙂

[@johnnyxmusic]

Well, an Epi.

[@JasonBowenGuitarista]

i have #12 of the Sparkle and absolutely love it. the neck is gorgeous.

[@Foreskan]

Wow, you mentioned a lot of channels I currently watch/a few that were lost to time for me.. what a throwback

[@aidanfriedfeld8889]

Rob scallon really is on a different level. Super cool to see all the OG guitar guys get shouted out here. It was interesting to get a look into your influence especially outside the music industry like PBG and AVGN.

[@Trog]

There was nearly a Trogly x AVGN collab at one point! Maybe someday...

[@PaperBanjo64]

Oh my gosh! And AVGN James actually plays guitar...I bet that would have been hilarious.

[@georgeoh-well8116]

Made me realise how long I've been following guitar related KZbin. Much respect to any regular content creators. Must be difficult to deal with some of the unnecessarily nasty, negative s#!t when producing content to consume for free !!

[@greyshadow9498]

Shout outs to Agufish, Stevie T, AVGN and Peebs in the same vid? Where else can you see that but here! 🤣

[@sk8125]

The fishman humbucker is his signature with them as well

[@davidsallean1166]

Fretboard doesn't look like ebony. Looks like roasted maple that's been dyed.

[@ohmtronseedling]

that satin finish looks great! i really like the overall vibe from this guitar.

[@Facedrummer12]

I love changing the colors in photoshop during the demo, that dark purple is a must!

[@ethanely9274]

Trogly signature LP coming when?

[@Captain_Yata]

Ooh I wish they'd made this green or pink, they look so good

[@DurhamSPM]

You mentioned inspiring with your videos and it shure inspired me . Not only for my videos but to rediscover my love for Gibson. I started playing with epiphones Les Paul and then upgraded to Gibson but somewhere in the path I kind of lost interest in the brand . I started to use and collect PRS singlets, McCarthys and even the silver sky for years but you made me look back to Gibson . I now own a couple of LP customs and a 335 and I’m in love . I have also had a lo junior, a Flying V and a 7 string explorer. Thanks for your videos mate!

[@dinklong3765]

The quality finish work on this guitar is amazing, tones are great, it's a beautiful guitar

[@Molotov_Milkshake]

Music Man make some stunning guitars.

[@glorynightshade3476]

Even the pickup cavities are finished out and those wood screws on the plektrumskydd look tapped and counter sunk! Super nice color. Got it goin on yo.

[@jimmyjames2022]

I like that forest green color mask on this "Fluff" Sting Ray!

[@sk8125]

I’ve got the sparkle version… it’s a beast

[@wastedqba]

What is the riff at 14:01 to 14:09? Is it Togly's original or build around an existing song? It reminds me of something, but cannot figure out what. And yes I've heard it in your videos before... But I think it is something else.

[@foxamato]

want to know too

[@SixSixthSix]

Wow, those are some cleanly built guitars. They even Countersunk all the screw holes under all the parts 🤯. And they totally need to make them in grey, that looks pretty awesome!

[@brandonkoch3852]

Looks absolutely gorgeous. Not a fan of those pickups though. Maybe it's a metal head thing?

[@Siggy_Sour]

Phile and Ollie and Andertons is like nostalgia at this point! kinda sad. Thanks for keeping the torch alive!

[@edwarddreier2958]

Last time i binged Guitar content, i never heard the name "Fishman", now i hear it every vid in the last few days...good for em, must be good

[@JoeyC4D]

every youtuber named at the start I watched, and some how you're one of the only ones left to stay on my watch list

[@paultrombetta]

Cool layout. Nice guit

[@Siggy_Sour]

looks like a fun rig! clean

[@JoostDamenMusic]

MONO bags are of amazing quality. I almost never use my hardcase since I got one. Pricy but worth it if you have expensive guitars.

[@Durmomo0]

Thats a nice guitar, I feel like Musicman makes great stuff

[@RedRavenNine]

Clean sounds and variations of tones are great on this one. Not a big fan of carded guitars, but I'll certainly put this one on my watchlist, or just shop for those pickups and put them in an existing guitar.

[@greghopkins18]

Yep ❤

[@russellroth5718]

When do we see a Trogly signature LP?

[@Vdubjared]

I work in a music store thats Near to where Fluff lives... wishing some day that he'll make it into our shop.. would be awesome.

[@taborevans7660]

Man, watching my favorite “in depth” KZbinr talking about my favorite “f*** it let’s do it” KZbinrs is the best 😂

[@miaoleman8605]

Glad to hear someone compare this to a mustang as thats what it reminds me of but alpt of folks dont often agree with that. Great guitar from fluff and a great video from trogly. Good job guys.

[@trulsdirio]

"A guitar? Perry the guitar!" describes the colour quite well in my mind

[@thseed7]

These are sweet. Hardware and features are excellent. Think a lot of people are less thrilled to have any signatures on the front side of the guitar, no matter whose (Les Paul being the exception.)

[@RandyFrancis-s6y]

Trogly, I bought a DBZ guitar, it's cool,and I just figured out it has cool splitting, they got a version of all the guitar styles!

[@HeyItsAsmus]

the 1691 is the pickguard number used by the company that makes them for ernie ball.

[@aravindvinayakan]

Boy howdy I really wish the sparkle finish was regularly available :(

[@lcglazer]

Trogly tell me about the exclusive Ernie Ball Music Man Mono guitar case! Til now I thought they only had floppy gig bags but that solid gig bag is new to me.

[@MPF-80]

Sweet. I want one. Also, Fluff was the first KZbin show that I watched. Love him and his show

[@yellowdog2181]

That pick guard with the odd piece of metal, sure looks reminiscent of Jerry Garcia’s fender named alligator.

[@jimsuber6784]

Thanks for tuning, I listened to them play it at Sweetwater. Painful

[@stevebaigorria3201]

I have two Ernie Ball music bands they’re well-made guitars I have a Eddie Van Halen one and a Steve Morse very well may guitars

[@jespo999]

I would like to see Austin get a LP Standard signature in Trogly Green Sparkle, filp out winding tuners, historically mounted ABR bridge, diamond strap buttons with a Spotlight Special stripe 😊 Come on Gibson!

[@davidfmgonzalez]

FINALLY a MusicMan at the show! 😅 You should definitely give a chance to an Axis (EVH's classic model), it's a great instrument and deserves some love!

[@SilkandScrooge]

It’s crazy all these KZbin guys who haven’t made any hits having signature guitars. I get it because they are influencers. It makes sense but all these guys have zero songs on my playlist.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

The routing was soooo clean, Gibson take note.

[@snapfinger1]

Direct competition with a recently spied Fender Mustang, same color, P-90 loaded.

[@matmetalhead6]

I dont really like the sound of those pickups personally, but the guitar looks really well constructed and cool!

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Musicman makes excellent guitars. That is the darkest sounding Musicman I have ever heard.

[@thisguy2973]

Check out the Jason Richardson cutlass. I have the 7 string version and it’s sweet!

[@PowerInOne22]

i loved nextlevelguitar back in the day

[@blackie75]

Something really interesting to me is that many of the most popular guitar channels feature people who aren't particularly good players. Darrell Braun is one that comes to mind, but there are so many others.

[@draper858]

It looks like the guitar changes color!! Green, pink, grey, copper and turquoise. Not sure how that happened but cool

Don't be mad, you forgot Rob Chapman. He was OG before Anderton's. Anyway, this thing sounded good. The color changes during demo, cool. Scallon is league of his own, played Metallica on church organ for the neighbors to hear. Classic. Ü ♫
