I really enjoy watching your reviews. Besides you being very qualified, you are a good presenter. I'm going to repeat my suggestion of reviewing an LAG Rockline from the mid 90's, mostly bcz I own one, and feel, that it's the most comfortable guitar, that I've ever handled (which ISN'T a huge number - I can't play AT ALL). I got it very cheap, and even though I only play with it an hour a year at max, I still don't want to sell. I've had a very competent shredder type metal dude, that all the others at the art school were impressed by, to play on it, and he spoke very nicely about it - but would change the PUs, if it had been his. I've thought about painting it with flames, or covering it with 24 k gold, just for fun - or painting sculls and making silver scull knobs and stuff (I will make some to sell, if anyone is interested - I do "all" kinds of art/design) or something else stoopid, but will probably never get around to any of those things.. Really enjoy your channel..!!!!

Hey Trogly, this scammer in the replies keeps replying to my comments on your videos as well. I tried to report him but youtube wont let me for some reason.

[@clarkbabin9799]

I got the same scammer replying as if he's you saying he's got something special for me to inbox him. Lately instead of those reported disappearing it's as if youtube isn't doing anything.

[@ChrisEck13]

@@CONEHEADDK No offense to you at all but that just isn't a guitar that most people are interested in, especially in the US where the majority of guitar players and collectors are located. Just because a guitar may play decently doesn't mean it's good content. There are all kinds of good playing obscure guitars out there. I understand that you are interested in it because you have one but I'm sorry to say the reality is that most people aren't interested. You may have gotten a good deal or a good guitar for the price but it's not ground breaking, it doesn't have much historical significance, it's not a guitar with a lot of interest, or really anything else other than the fact the you have one. It also doesn't really fit in with the channel in general. Again no offense, I'm just showing you the perspective of everyone else.

[@CONEHEADDK]

@@ChrisEck13 No problem. I can handle "any" critizim, if it's done in a polite way. And I know, that it's nothing special, just because there isn't many of them. I'm rather new here (and really enjoy the content, the insight, and the skills, Trogley shares with us) and thought it would be interesting hearing his opinion, since I have an idea of, how he disects and values things. If I found some random person, who did a review, I wouldn't have any base line, and therefore the review would at best be anecdotal. I did get a very good deal, bcz the guy who owned couldn't sell it, bcz "nobody" knew the brand. If it hadn't felt so much smoother on the neck (no sharp fret edges at all, ulike every other guitar I've touchted) I would probably not have cared a bit about it. I seriously can't play, but I'm a pretty could craftman, and it's the craftmanship, that I'd like to hear a guitar experts opinion on - mostly to learn, if there are things "wrong" or bad, that I don't have the insight to notice. I'm not going to become a guitar repair man (as I had planned years ago, where I bought up a bunch of cheap guitars, and actually did make a few bucks on) but I'm still very interested in the details, that comes from years of experience, and looove to see various guitars and hear a bit qualified info about them. I actually watch every video, and enjoy it very very much. And had I not been an old dude, I would have learned to play - but life is what happens, aso..

Gotta be honest about it....50,000 dollars for this is about 41,500 dollars more than a new R9 and I just am not seeing the added value. In fact I don't care for fake aged/relic'ed guitars.

[@smelltheglove2038]

That’s cool because I think they’re all sold out anyway. You’re in luck though because they have a CS R9 at the local shop, and I’m sure any other local shop in a somewhat large market.

[@bltvd]

Yeah these relic guitars are about as cool as people using filters on their selfies.

[@noahpauley]

These guitars are specifically made for the ultra wealthy and never meant to be for normal people.

[@TheDanification]

Imagine playing $8,000 for a Les Paul.

[@mboyer68]

I'd never in a million years buy a new guitar with dings scrapes scratches and dents when I could buy a brand new sparkly clean one! I don't understand. But I get it that some people like that stuff! Plus, there's 12,032 used Les Paul's for sale on reverb right now! The market seems a bit flooded so I'm not sure if these super pricey pieces will hold their value. As the boomers die off and dump their collections there won't be as many collectors.

[@world_of_max.g]

12:58 Well, Gary Moore did actually have the neck pickup reversed back to its 'normal' position from about 1976-1989. The headstock repair is from when Gary was involved in a car crash sometime in the '80s (a van drove into the back of him) and it's also him who changed the knobs, bridge and tuners.

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

Fun facts! Thanks Max

[@sgmarshall3]

Yes, this is very much a Gary Moore guitar more than a Peter Green guitar. Every pic I've ever seen of Peter playing it, the guitar was in fantastic condition. No wear at all on the front of the guitar. Also, at that point it was much more red than yellow.

[@TheLexluthier]

The guitar experienced a pretty significant break in the neck heel area in the car accident. Whoever fixed it did an almost miraculous job, as it is extremely hard to see the repair. There was a different repair to the headstock that is not as easily seen as the major break that must have happened later on. That one had dowels inserted on the side of the headstock near the E and B strings, and the finish touched up unlike the big break that is easily visible.

[@Johnsormani]

@@sgmarshall3well since Gary just payed 100£ for it he was t too careful with it

[@robnamowicz8073]

The nights Fleetwood Mac played the 'Silverbell' teen club just outside Rochester Michigan, Peter played this guitar straight into a Twin. In the dressing room when he asked to play my Strat, and offered his Les Paul I found it to play like butter. The guitar was not nearly as beat up as this replica, but then in 68 or 69, Peter was taking better care. He was a quiet genius a massive talent, and a gentle man. That he was derailed by dalliance with drugs is an instructive tale for all. In the meantime, I'll beat up my own guitars. Sometimes they sound abused. Thanks for this Trogly, your playing is really getting better.

[@Gbhbbgvsbnjhhdchhb]

his “dalliance” with drugs that destroyed his mind was a a result of getting spiked and involuntary

If it's just a recreation, I don't see why it's so expensive. It wasn't owned by anyone. It's not old. It's just a regular Les Paul, someone beat the hell out of. It's awesome, and I love to have one for $1200. 😆

There's no electronic mojo. Just some good pickups made to the older specs and some standard pots and wire. The only mojo is in the player and how good the guitar feels to that player.

[@erikkassner9324]

With it being a 2022, I cannot find a single feature on this guitar that justifies a $50k price tag. One is going for $85K on reverb. Gibson really takes advantage of their fans who will give them their money no matter what, and it's hard to blame Gibson for that.

[@Anon-21j]

Honestly, Gibson are 100% stuck in the past. There are sooo many quality of life modern features that they just don't have that guitars with half their price tags do.

[@Billiamwoods]

I mean, this guitar was exclusively for the ridiculously wealthy to meet Kirk Hammett. No one who pays more than the average person's years wages for a guitar is paying for the guitar, they're paying for resale value, or in this case, the intangible (and therefore super expensive) value of meeting a cool guitar guy. But Gibson have absolutely lost their way. They're a lifestyle or fashion brand. Happens to a lot of formerly groundbreaking and popular brands. Supreme used to sell skater stuff, now they just put a logo on a brick and sell it for 500$. Which is kind of fitting considering about the most unique aspect of this guitar is the carved wood block it comes with.

​@@Anon-21j yeah, they'll be in trouble when their main customers base dies out.

Should do a comparison with the CC1 greeny, it will be interesting.

[@hexadb]

Great to see all the details of this thing. Just for fun I would really love to see a Vintage brand V100 PGM model get the Trogly treatment. They go for about £250 here and sound/play amazingly well. The story goes that Seth Lover gave Trevor Wilkinson some inside info on the PAF manufacturing process and the Vintage model uses that secret sauce. Who knows, but they sound great and have the out of phase magnet/wiring setup too (and the super important mismatched reflector knobs 😁)

[@petercnixon]

I put a pair of those Wilkinson PAF pickups in a cheap LP copy and I flipped the neck pickup magnet. It sounds great. I think I got the pickups for 20 pounds on ebay. Bargain.

[@Swampster70]

And at 11:46 he ruins the whole thing and puts the neck pickup in the "standard" way... No longer a Greeny. :P

[@brabazabba]

Would have been interesting to see a little polarity tester magnet hovered over those pickups to see the fabled ‘flipped magnet’ in the neck. Also, could KH himself have scratched the initials into all the replicas or was that just whoever was doing the aging?

It's crazy because Gary pay guitar around 150$ to Peter. He actually sold his main gutar SG for that Greeny, and later he sold that same guitar for over 800k - 1.2m. He doesn't bother collecting guitar. Every custom will do the job. And I absolutely agree with that. 1959 LP custom is enough 🙂

And although I do agree with his sentiment, I STILL feel this is INSANE!!! I bought my 1952 Goldtop for WAY less than this. You can buy an actual mid 50's P-90 Goldtop for less than this. Why if you have the money would you overpay for a REPLICA than actually making an investment and gettting the real deal. I will never understand this.

Second that, the minute they become available I'm getting them

[@keithclayton1271]

Wow, thanks to the buyer. And thanks Trog for this thorough demo. This guitar and the pickups especially reflect what I'd hope for in such a gem of a Custom Shop instrument. All those tones... Beautiful!

I’m not a big fan of K.H but I certainly am a fan of the “Greeny”. This sounded absolutely fantastic!

[@Ottophil]

I’m the other way around. He should be playing Kh2’s only

[@midrider335]

Good breakdown of this guitar Trogly, thanks and also thanks to the person that delivered it! The only time I saw “Greeny” in person was when I saw Gary Moore playing it at the Beacon Theatre in NYC in May ‘92. Needless to say I was blown away!

You made the podium for today and earned a Bronze Medal.

[@derpi6250]

yay

[@MrScrofulous]

Oh my dude, that is by far the best sounding guitar you have ever reviewed. Nice Am I Evil reference.

[@tacob69]

There is no way a guitar made today is worth $50,000.People have lost their minds and Gibson should be ridiculed for taking advantage of people who have lost said minds.

Make a 50K guitar sound like a 100 dollars! Hold my beer!

[@Incountry]

Definitely not for me…. Don’t like this worn abused put together half*assed repaired type of replica guitars, don’t really care how limited it is. The only Les Paul limited edition I liked was the “Corvette”

Paint ageing looks great but I would have expected much more wood wear especially on the back. Not worth $50k to me (I’d need to be much wealthier to justify it) but I would invest in an original LP with that sort of money. Sounds way better cleaned up. Special thanks to the owner for this. Nice one.👍
