Good grief Trogley, are you trying to buy out Gibson????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️♥️

[@Johnny_Doe]

Actually more important Gibson needs to ship their guitars in climate bags like Martin and some Taylor’s do. My Gibson Elvis Presley Dove shipped in the coldest month we had this year (Feb 2023) and had a lacquer check/crack right down the centre seam after opening the case….Even after waiting 24hrs.

On any other channel this would be clickbaity but this is one of the few that literally NEVER clickbaits (unless it's for comedic effects). That's cool to finally have reached the level where you can put an order like this together and actually get them all. Even a lot of dealers would have trouble with it, I think, because it's not "whatever we send you" it's "what you're requesting". Good job building up the channel and thanks for a cool video!

[@havocharmony9661]

Trogly is a beast. Historic record indeed. When I was 14 I bought a Gibson explorer from my local store for around $800. It was a E90 dbl. For 2 decades, I had no idea what I even had. When I really wanted to know what kind of guitar I had, I called Gibson. Was not able to get any info. The only info I could find was Trogly's review. So I feel his amazing documentation on this model priceless. Have been a fan and sub ever since. Love your channel Trogly!

[@nickphillips1721]

You said it............................absolutely "Beast mode".

[@havocharmony9661]

@@nickphillips1721 Gibson should be giving this guy all the free guitars he needs. If I wasn't literally homeless ATM with sole custody of a 5 year old with autism, I would want a Trogly guitar just because Trogly inspected the instrument personally and you know exactly what you are getting.

[@R3TR0R4V3]

Wow, it's pretty damn bad when Gibson can't give you any info whatsoever on a guitar _they_ made! LOL.

[@havocharmony9661]

@WizardsWithMachinery IKR. best they could do was direct me to the serial number lookup page that describes how to read your serial number. Trogly on the other hand, had a wealth of info on this model. It was made when Gibson was going through transitions and didn't know how to compete with other manufacturers during the metal/shredder Era. I still have this guitar, and even during a hardship, I will never part with it.

[@allstarvb]

Trogly is a real one for doing this for all of us - very very cool to see all of these finishes

[@_benjimouse_]

I love the natural back and sides, when PRS did it and when Gibson does. There's something aesthetically with the combination of the highlight colour, and the natural looking wood which really does it for me.

[@VincentBrick]

The white reminds me of a Fender mint green pickguard. That oxblood will look killer with play wear taking some finish off the arm area exposing the flame.

[@TheOtteroo]

That 60s, blueberry burst unbelievable.❤

[@sixslinger9951]

they still look better than the stock photos. even the solid colors come to life on your video. this is cool as hell! just started watching

Gibson’s stock photos never seem to do the guitars justice imo

[@anthonyc1883]

What an episode! Sparkling Burgundy in gloss looks stunning. I love Rick Beato but his signature in faded/satin/whatever Sparkling Burgundy, with the open-pore wood grain, looks like a little kid brush painted it by comparison. Thanks, Trog!

[@Stev0BabaGhanoush]

That Sparkling Burgundy is unbelievable. Wow, what a finish!

[@martin-1965]

Yep loved that one too and would definitely want to buy one some day. What also hit me was - sigh- some of the QA issues again. Only minor things but Gibson is supposed to be the greatest guitar maker in the world (and charges prices to match) so they really shouldn;t be shipping guitars with any issues however minor. Just a little gripe there but if I had that Sparkling Burgundy I wouldn't mind as few cosmetic flaws 😎

[@silvernuggets1285]

The second blueberry burst is fantastic. Also love the first fuchsia.

Seconding your idea for an oxblood burst. It would be neat to install rim-lighting in the binding to illuminate the top and let people see those red tones.

[@timothycormier3494]

The ox blood is my favorite. Like black but hiding a beautiful surprise

[@jimmyjames2022]

Wow you really outdid yourself with this massive purchase. Sweet Custom Colour LP series, and that's crazy amount of Les Paul natural backs, I love it! Now, how to choose between several really sweet solid and flame colors. Looking forward to Gibson doing this with SGs now!

[@Sound_Commission]

I like the cream plastics on the white top.

[@infinityappears]

I love the white top with the natural back and sides. Like vanilla frosting over a delicious pastry.

[@tinystar3010]

The natural backs look so great! It gives these a fancier look. I know people say it's cost savings, but it's really not. It's more work masking off the entire body except the top than to just spray the entire guitar one color. And they still have to spray the entire body in clearcoat too. Yes minor savings in finish cost, but countered by more cost in labor to paint it. Also, I'm disappointed in both blueberry guitars you got. Neither have enough purple in them to get that nice color transition. Great guide though for choosing what to get. Sold me on 60s versions and a few of the colors.

[@StreetPreacherr]

Yeah, I have a mid 90s Ebony Standard that's solid black and always get jealous when I see the natural back versions... I actually think the natural back works best on Gold Tops, but it appears they're not offering any Gold Top Standards this year?

[@tinystar3010]

I'm not sure really. I stopped following what comes out. If anything special does Austin usually shows it. But I agree natural back gold tops are gorgeous

[@robnamowicz8073]

Great job, Trogley! Now, for all you fellas that like your Les Pauls without a pickguard, but the one you bought has a pickguard, truss rod cover screws fill the pickguard holes perfectly. Just pick the chrome or gold screw that matches the rest of your hardware and Bingo! The screw head is round so it is smoothed out just right. Just a tiny dot of sympathetic hardware rather than a hole! A tip from an old guitar strangler and Trogley fan! Again, good job Trogley!!

[@radiopools]

Just popping in to say I bought one of these in Ocean Blue on a whim. It showed up on Reverb and it was literally the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen in my life. My example has some greens and teals in it, and the flame top does NOT have a bad angle. I know I likely cherry picked, but I am really stoked Gibson is listening and giving us more interesting colors. Even if it is a short run. Now do this to Explorers please!

Had to watch this episode again , I love ALL of them , The Classic White looks great with the cream plastics , if the plastics were straight white it would be too much , it would look like a kitchen utensil !The Sparkle Burgundy looks vastly different on a LP compared to other guitar models , it looks SO good ! reminds me of vintage Christmass ornaments....

[@BartholomewCounty]

The best neck of all time,.. for me... 1971 Gibson SG Jr. Single P90. I bought one from a pawn shop in 1982 for $150. I traded it for a Marshall All Tube 50 Watt Head, a Carvin 4X12 Cabinet and some mics and mic stands and some other stuff,.... and I've been kicking myself in the ass ever since. I have a 150 Watt Randall w/ 2x12's now and it's fine. I have a standard Strat in lite green and a non-reverse Firebird with three P90's. It's a monster and it plays and sounds great, but I still miss my SG.

Great job, thanks man! I've got the Sparkling Burgundy Les Paul Modern, and love that too. I did change the knobs from the stock clear ones to the black and silver top hats. However, after seeing this, I'm kinda tempted to swap out all the knobs and plastic parts (pickup surrounds, scratchplate, poker chip) for white ones, as that looked really cool.

[@SeabeeBuckeye]

The Sparkling Burgundy is 🔥, followed by the Cherry flame top. But that Blueberry Burst! 💙

[@leebrown6702]

I've got a sparkling burgundy epi LP modern and having replaced the plastics to white with a perloid scratch plate, was already in front of Gibson's thinking here. Agreed, it is a great colour.

[@lurklingX]

25:56 YES! *an oxblood that's transparent like that where you don't need the flashlight to see it would be AMAZING.* i get that you might want the flame to be "less" visible... but not INvisible. that would be SUCH a damn vibe. you could bend it towards a lot of styles! i'd absolutely want one. i like deeeeeeep cherry/ox reds like that. but you can't even see it. and i could imagine doing that kind of dark burst would look great on a lot of tops, where it does a fade almost to solid on the edges. or at least dark enough you need the flashlight to see through. that top as you shine the light on it is such a great color. gorgeous. and it's a regular little tiger under there! as is, though, literally only the owner would know it's an oxblood. it just looks BLACK. there's not even the intrigue of "OOPS, THOUGHT IT WAS BLACK BUT SAW A FLASH OF RED AND STRIPES." just too dark. but that would've been cool though. definitely would even want that version too!

[@bryanbarrows1592]

I'm curious how these will age... I imagine they will lighten up some over time to reveal more and more? Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@okayestguitar66]

That was an impressive display. The amber (either one) was my favorite. I'm not a cherry fan, but those would be my second choice. Thanks.

[@ipuya]

Not a Les Paul guy but i do love the natural backs. I Agree the burgundy was the nicest and then the Amber. I think the ox blood is basically for someone who likes ebony but with a twist. Wish they had some with P90s!

[@scottmartin356]

Lol, that guitar circle at the end was awesome!

[@calvinwatts9226]

I agree about those foam packing blocks. I actually bought a greenie and when it got here the foam block had come loose and somehow found its way onto the top of the volume knob. Of course that got smashed along with the volume pot. The dealer wanted me to take it and have it repaired and I just didn’t want a repaired 3grand guitar so I sent it back. Overall I was badly disappointed in the guitar. Finish wasn’t good and just didn’t play well at all. Thanks for the reviews.

[@AlexGeorgakoulis]

I second the oxblood burst idea! It'd look so awesome!

[@AJvsEverything]

I never realized how much I wanted an Inverness Green LP...it has sort of that aged Pelham Blue vibe to it where they fade out a bit greenish, and I absolutely love that... That Burgundy Mist is PHENOMENAL! The Oxblood was super disappointing, as someone who REALLY cherishes and seeks out the deep dark blood red finishes, that was just so absolutely blacked out that it's just too dark to really be red...

[@Anton-ji4td]

Wow! That was a great video, best yet. They are all great to own. The plain flat colours were my faves.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

The burgundy ones are awesome. Beautiful.

[@biffteriffic6785]

That oxblood under light is stunning. It'll be my next guitar.

[@rcsutter]

[@vmann-jd5yw]

Good show! The natural backs work for some of the colors ("appetite" color in particular was my fave match) but it really let's down some of the other colors especially the ebony.

[@paulketchupwitheverything767]

That was quite a haul of Les Pauls. I liked the oxblood finish and the flame not being so obvious. I think a similarly dark blue would work too. Generally I like the neck and the back being natural mahogany except for the black/ebony finish where I think having the whole thing black works best. I'd also like to see an occasional Les Paul with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. I know they did them for a bit in the '70s and there are mixed feelings about it. Plus there are maple necks on the LP Tributes and old models like the L6S that work OK.

[@adcharz7105]

[@soundxplorer]

Oxblood is my favorite because it's not flashy unless you look very closely. Like it is keeping a secret. Ebony and Oxblood both look fantastic with the natural back. I think white is my least favorite against the plain mahogany color back.
