I Stopped Him From Making a HUGE Mistake $$$

[@hermanturnip3984]

You didn't fumble anything, Trogly. You did the right thing. Good on ya.

[@atraxuswraithe6031]

Took the words right out of my mouth, my dude.

[@bobwassell]

Sleep easy. Live long. Good move.

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

That shop lucked out not having a shipping option. Thing would’ve been gone in under 60 seconds.

[@evilberger1]

Good Man! Honesty is less and less common these days it seems.

[@leviathan_is_me]

And what is sad is I bet there are people who are PISSED Trogly tipped the seller off.

[@ohmtronseedling]

you are so right.

[@myoptik3x103]

Your dedication to honesty is inspiring Austin. Well done.

[@Intheflesh79]

You have morals bro, that's why I watch you daily

[@mikaelmachado4344]

You’re an honest man trogly, good on you.

[@matthewf1979]

The "California Girl" case got it's name for the colors, not the shape. Tan on the outside, pink on the inside.

[@Peterbrendanalbert]

Mine is white on the inside. I feel icky.

[@_oe_o_e_]

Well, they didnt know what they had, so it also means they underpaid who they bought it from

[@criskatan]

Having a clear conscience is priceless!!

[@Carp2131]

Good for you man. Too many folks would have zero issue taking advantage of this shop. Rare these days.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

This is why I watch every episode, your honesty and integrity are the stars of the show. Congratulations.

[@cromBumny]

Funny there was another stripped down 1955 that was bouncing around on facebook, that also had 5he 6 digit Serial Number. I thought it was fake because of that.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

Good man Trogly and good detective work too! 🧐👍

[@plattecitypaul9983]

You are a good man, Trogly. Put your head down tonight with peace of mind, my friend. LOVE your channel!

[@Masterfighterx]

That stripped to natural '53 is at least 3 piece top

[@videomove]

good on you austin! respect

[@JuliusMas-bz6my]

Good on you, Trogly. And that gold top is absolutely gorgeous.

[@Zeptyche]

It’s hard to take advantage of people. Especially a business. I mean I bought a 91 Firebird V for $1400 but, I didn’t resell it.

[@_rafael_b]

You totally did the right thing with the owners of that LP. Being a good person, or trying to be, sometimes comes at a personal cost. If you have a conscience though, that's just the price of doing business sometimes. I was already under the impression that you were a decent person, but this is proof of how well meaning you are. My personal respect for you just shot up considerably. Also, I still appreciate you turning me on to Band-Maid with your Flappy Pidgeon review a while back. Cheers Trogly!

[@OfficialKevinFox]

Man, how cool would it have been if, since you told that shop what year that gold top really was, If they would’ve cut you a deal on it for you helping them 🤣🤘🏻that thing looked sweet.

[@cbcacbca]

You will be rewarded for your honesty. I don't know how or when, but you will be rewarded.

[@flapjack413]

You're a more honest man than me. If I had the money, I would have jumped on it, and then given them an extra $5-10K after the deal was done, just so I wouldn't have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life.

[@alexdenton6586]

I've always found it ridiculous that an older guitar costs more than a new one just because it's vintage; it makes no sense. When I started playing guitar, there were far fewer options than there are now. Today, we can make excellent quality guitars in Indonesia, Mexico, or South Korea that are good enough even for professionals. I don't understand how there can be such a demand for something that's been used and has chipped or slightly worn paint. I think most guitarist are more collectors and vendors than really players , probably the explanation

[@Arthagnou]

you are thinking of it wrong. perspective 1) a 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO had 275 hp and tiny breaks and was a little floppy, how much do those go for? 2) another way, there are better weapons but the real sword from the Arnold Schwarzeneggers "Conan the Barbarian" how much would that sell for? 3) James Deans 1955 Porsche Spyder, how much would that (or one like that ) sell for? There are better cars better weapons, but people want to know what it was like to drive those things, wield those weapons. You are getting not just sound but an experience, to know why those things are Legendary. Why do you go on vacation to exotic places? You want to experience living in that place for awhile.

[@jimbojazza5539]

Very noble Trogly. Wonder if the shop will pony up something extra to the original seller.

[@IAmTheIsland]

The right thing would be that shop giving the person they got it from a percentage of the difference.

[@simonhetherington9077]

You're a good man, Trogly.

[@marccarter1350]

Applying of spiritual principles and living our life's that way makes us better humans

[@matthewbyars7171]

Trogly, I think that Reznor model has been more modified than you're realizing. Didn't the Reznor only have 2 knobs and a toggle? That one had 3 knobs, a veritone, a toggle and a mini toggle! That's 6 holes! (plus that silly 'Custom Made' plaque.) Great episode as usual, friend! and you did the right thing by informing the shop! Cheers!

[@RealShovelSalesman]

Its a nice day for a Gold Top.

[@nickposipanko9399]

You're a good person, Trogly. I would have asked for a discount for the info XD

[@jukeboxjohnny2112]

Hey Trog that 53' is actually a 3 piece top. Look closer. Good lookin' out on that 55' btw.

[@bambledaczymbledek]

Character is revealed by deeds, not talk. There's at least one honest voice in the wilderness.

[@chris_2714]

Good call on that 55. I'm sure the shop appreciated your honesty

[@opinionhaver574]

Just remember: no good deed goes unpunished.

[@trentflynn6568]

Job well done, Trogly!!

“It was refretted in the 80s” Like it’s junk now

[@flapjack413]

Man. Goldtops have REALLY been growing on me more and more lately. I don't need another Les Paul. But then again, I don't NOT need another Lester, either.

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

The gold top looked refinished to me.

[@StephenG1991]

Shop probably paid way less than 26k for it anyhow. Especially if they had the seller believing it was a 68.

[@216trixie]

Good for you I would expect no less.

[@readrepairs]

Well done. Good work.

[@TheRealxVincent]

I don't feel bad getting steals from shops. They offered me $80 for 2 guitars, why would I feel bad buying an $800 PRS for $200 because they didn't do their research?

[@wesleed1120]

You're AWESOME, Trogly!!! That's the kind of thing that keeps me watching!!! I mean yeah the guitars are, but there's sumn else that you're integrity adds

[@luisfernandorios2004]

being honest will always be the best deal

[@_avia_]

This store probably paid 15 for it. I wonder if they contacted the person who sold it to them and gave him some $ back....

[@melvined]

good move, Trogly. and i wondered if that trent reznor model would make the show, i saw it here on fb marketplace!

[@pumkinbreath]

Trogly is a good man

[@skullheadwater9839]

I have a question about pickups. I know PAF stickers end in 61/62 then you have patent number stickers until 1975 followed by engraved patent number base. Did Gibson ever reissue a pickup that had a patent number sticker on it? I just bought a pickup for $50 online that has a Patent Number sticker that DCR is 6.37 ohms which sounds low and it was called "vintage chrome humbucker". Did they make some sort of reissue or is this for sure a 1962-75 pickup? I know if it has T-Top bobbins under the cover that is 65' to 75 and before that they were basically just a PAF with a Patent # sticker. Does anyone know? I ask because I have seen on Burst Buckers and Custombuckers they have a repro PAF sticker. I think I just scored if it is between 62 and 65 it is essentially a PAF right?

[@RandyFrancis-s6y]

Oh no it's worth more than just 26,000.

To stop other people from using the same serial numbers on counterfeit guitars.

Lots of people think they are vintage guitar experts. Unfortunately, the market has hurt the actual players of the instrument.

Still questionable why it has the hardware of a 1968

I can’t help but wonder who they screwed over now

[@danhopper8266]

I don’t know. If they didn’t know what it was, them “screwing over” the person who sold it to the shop wasn’t intentional.

The "original" Fender Starcaster was a semi-hollow body model with f-holes made from around 1975 to 1979. It had a three bolt neck with the serial number engraved on the neck plate, Fender wide range humbuckers and 5 control knobs.
