It Was Only $400 !?! | Gibson MOD Collection Demo Shop Recap Week of Apr 22

[@rider132]

When $5500 is a “Great” deal for a 57 reissue demo I’m officially out of the game. I just shake my head at the amount of guitars in this video that are over 4k. I do appreciate the effort it takes to do these videos day after day. Thanks and cheers

[@SirSneakerPimp]

Not only are they hyper expensive… they are hideous too. I watch this channel just to laugh. Trogly is basically a used car salesman pushing guitars.

[@SplashgameFTW]

if 5500 scares you, you were never in the game to begin with bro xD

[@Draw54]

Same - chibos are getting a lot better lately And by the looks of all the custom shop footage, tours & examples I have seen/played, they are pumping those things out just as fast and sloppy as gib USA. I don’t need to waste 10k to feel better about myself when I can have the exact same thing at 1/10th the price.

[@DanielBobke]

@@SplashgameFTW These comments are not on the ability to pay that for a guitar or being "scared" by the price (LOL) - it is about whether these guitars are objectively worth that much. While it is true to say "they are worth what someone is willing to pay for it", I reserve the right to hold the opinion that someone that pays that much for these particular guitars is 100% guitarded. I have no problem paying $5000+ for a guitar - just not for a guitar from a scratch and dent sale.

[@GuitarGuy4647]

@@Draw54my Japanese LPs sound better and outplay most Gibsons I’ve ever played for a fraction of the price.

[@adrienbillot2624]

The 400$ SGJ is home since one hour and it is amazing ! Indeed by chance I connected at 7:00AM last Thursday and they uploaded 2 hours in advance. I missed the 335 though, I did not realize immediately it was not a studio…

[@donttalktome4696]

I own one Gibson. Bought it in 2018 when prices were fair. I'll never sell it. Prices have got way way too high. I'm happy Trogly makes these videos. Keeps my gear itch scratched without buying anything.

[@BeigeYeti12345]

I agree. Picked up a nice les paul traditional for 1500 from guitar center. Looked a again this year and they are like 3k. Idk what happened but I can say one thing. I'm never going to pay that much for a guitar lol 😆 only thing I would pay 3k for is like an r9 and even them it would have to be the perfect one. I guess people are just crazy these days.

[@dublev78]

2200 for a studio? Nope

[@Toby-WanKenobi]

Yikes.

[@williamdesmarais4931]

WTF???? Not a chance. Gibson has gone full on ridiculous at this point. I buy all of mine used now. It just isn't worth the new prices plus the depreciation. I'll let someone else eat the depreciation.

[@mofomartianp]

I just bought a brand new classic for 2100. It's a great guitar, but it might be the last ever Gibson I buy new. No way am I spending that much on anything less.

[@thomaskinne2357]

I've avoided those 2014 models because of that 12th fret inlay. I have a 2013 "Worn Brown" SGJ & I love it.

[@richardcarlson7802]

Ok, let me get this straight. If you have a $800 sg that actually has player wear it's worth $400, but if you let gibson hit your guitar with a key ring and put cigarettes out on it that same guitar costs $4000.

[@St0n_e_man]

Don’t they put them in special ovens that dehydrates the guitar and that’s was causes them to look aged and carefully relic them?

[@eddiejr540]

@4:00…when you adjust the contrast, it looks like the moon, with the craters…very cool 👍

[@H_mzaS]

I used to own the SGJ. I bought it for CAD $400. Although it didn't come with a hard case. It had a black gibson soft gig bag. It was literally so cheap it was the first guitar I ever bought. I was just stupid to sell it, because it had a very thick neck which I wasn't exactly comfortable with. I sold it around 2015. And I have always kicked myself for selling it off. You can't even buy a set of Gibson pickups for that price now. 😭

Really like the Leviathan, Toasted Marshmallow and Galaxy finishes, but this week was really cool across all the guitars in the paint shop.

[@kevindaigle]

One of the best deals I ever got was on a 2014 Gibson LPM (the lpj with e tune) for 400 Canadian. It was on sale at best Buy for 699 but it was a floor model with some scratches near the input jack

[@waynehicks1969]

Most of these just seem like thrown together junk.

[@JosephJoe-u7e]

That's what they are. few weeks ago I seen a orange les Paul special on there and the whole side of the neck had the worst running paint job and many other issues. Yea they wanted 2300$ for it lol Gibson is a joke. Prs gets my money

[@davepatterson4774]

The '64 335 in Royal Sapphire is absolutely stunning!

[@IamMusicNerd]

I don’t think that patriotic one is actually pink. It looks like a red, white, and blue sparkle, and when you mix those three colors together you get kind of a mauve/lavender color from a distance. But up close it is red, white, and blue glitter.

[@dn2817]

I feel sorry for you young people who just want to own a gibson les paul like they played in so many songs we love but you can’t even touch anything for less than $2k & the “really cool ones” cost like $4k. That is just ridiculous prices. If you spend that kind of money, it’s supposed to be flawless snd last you several lifetimes. Epiphones are ok but I honestly found a used LTD in the 1000’s that was better sounding than a $3500 gibson les paul. The LTD sounded better than an Epi. It honestly sounded better than some gibson lp’s. My modern antique burst G LP pro III has all kinds of weird factory mess ups and lacquer drips in some places but it at least sounds cool. I see they go for like $2600 now. I paid less for mine. Good luck finding a les paul pro iii for less than $2k and they are not even a “real one” if you are a purest.

[@ohmtronseedling]

the moss green/amber fade LP would age very well. especially if left in sunlight and heavily played. makes me think of the greening in an old goldtop. shouldn't "toasted marshmallow burst" have the burnt/crispy parts on the outer rim? boy, i LOVE that beat up SGJ. it too will continue aging nicely. someone indeed got a great deal. i can see that silverburst LP Junior also yellowing over time. especially in a smoky environment. normally i don't get into silverburst but that one works well.

Ya know, that blotchy blue LP Custom, all they had to do was to call the color "Slightly Cloudy" . I like that one for the best of the week. The last one is my second favorite.

[@andrewdobosz3682]

Yo the moss fade is dope, also i just realized that an upside down (lefty) explorer would look so freakin cool played right handed... maybe, the strat reversed looks dumb but the explorer wooo. Flames

I had a 2013 LPJ. swapped the pickups, tuners and plastics to make it more like a studio. was a great guitar but i just didn't like the "worn" finish. i prefer glossy

[@clarkbabin9799]

Loved the Twilight LP. That explorer reminds me of the fender Antigua finish. Not a big fan of the pistachio but maybe the could've done the center in a blonde leaving the edges green and turning it into a pistachio burst. The leviathan looks cool. I would have called the moss fade bayou sunset. I like the black pearl and agree they should've continued on to the back. The Sapphire blue looks like it could've had the name Ford on its back.

Clearly, Gibson stopped making instruments for working musicians a long time ago. When $5500 for a dinged-up Custom is a deal and they’re turning their Seconds into Mod Collection examples, you can pretty much tell that Gibson’s brand and management aren’t any better now than under Henry Juskiewicz. Gibson is running on fumes and it won’t be much longer that they’ll be able to keep selling $7-15k Custom Shop Murphy-aged models, or any of these other butt-ugly atrocities. Good vids, though! When I need a good laugh, I just watch these. Cheers!
