Hey trogly I'd like to buy that amp.message me and we will make a deal..

[@Samolyet]

I still have a GA-40T I bought in high school, very similar to your amp. It’s called the Mariner though. Very warm amp with nice breakup at the edge.

[@luthravin4774]

Merry Christmas Trogs and Family!! Awesome video..Wow that guitar is FAB!!

[@clarkbabin9799]

Malcom Young did the same thing with guitars he had by removing the neck pickup. If you're ever unsure if you compare an item you know to be chrome to one you're not sure and vice versa the nickel will look slightly yellowish in most cases in contrast to the chrome. Don't beat yourself up on the nut. Don't know what you used to try and repair the nut but some glues are like water in the aspect of if it can seep out or you another spot it will. Less is more as far as glue goes. Some people use more glue than neccessary and that is one of the problems that occurs. The other is that it doesn't set correctly if theres to much sometimes and you may end up repeating the repair. My Greenburst like many Gibsons you have received had a loose strap button on the tail. I put glue in but misjudged and I ended up with some expanding out around the button. It happens. I'm going to repeat myself here. This guitar is the closest to getting a birth year model as I'm sure I'll ever see. I don't know that you plan to flip it or what but if you ever consider it if I could I'd jump on the chance. Some of the 60s model Fender amps have one or two things that happen. My 65 Deluxe Reverb ) real deal not a reissue) will sometimes have one or the tunes loosen or completely drop out of its socket. Most cases it causes the same issue no sound.

[@clarkbabin9799]

Merry Christmas Austin and your family. Also to those who I have chatted with here and those who I haven't.

I have a 1961 Les Paul, I received it for my 11th birthday (Feb 9) in 1964. I am the original owner. It was on the wall of the music store where I was taking lessons. It's as clean as the '62 you have. That was a big day for me, I got the '61 LP and a tweed deluxe. Later that evening I watched the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, subsequently I became a full time professional musician and still remain a full time player. The guitar has been very well taken care of and includes the original gator skin case. It's all original. I don't play it out much, but I did play it on the 50th anniversary of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan show. It's an amazing sounding PAF monster. It nails the Clapton 'woman tone' effortlessly. I'll be 70 in about 6 weeks. I'm not working as much as in the past and would be open to selling it. I have pics available. Have a Merry Christmas and thanks for posting this video.

It’s kind of funny really’ I mean no disrespect to Austin but u can’t always find a guitar of that era especially that is in as mint condition as u like and in Austin’s case the condition is just so hard to come by’ I mean it’s a 62 SG! It’s amazing to find one at all let alone one that is that tidy with PRF’s I would just keep it’ if u are starting museum that is just such a prefect addition to the collection as far as I’m concerned 😉🎸

Lindy Fralin is an awesome, down to earth expert who also makes great pickups! I once called his shop to ask a question about pickups and Lindy himself answered. We went on to talk about how we went to the same high school (about 25 years apart). Such a chill dude and I love that he only charged his normal rewind price!

[@justinguitarcia]

Its a crime to separate the amp from this guitar- its a beautiful slice of history. Get it together trogs, that pair together are 1000x cooler than anything youve showcased on this channel. Plus, theyre worth way more together.

[@DrkStar47]

Thanks Trogly - this was an awesome continuation of the story of the OG Les Paul. For a guitar that’s more than 60 years old you have done it, and the original owners justice. The full demo with the refurbed pick,up sure serves up some sweet tones complete with some tasty crunch. Love the show and as someone who is new to guitar, your wealth of knowledge has been a treat to absorb. Wishing you and your dear ones a Merry Christmas 🎄and a Happy New Year 🎉from Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 Thanks again for the videos.

Thank you for the Doors reference. Robbie Krieger is THE most underrated 60s guitar player. The people he influenced who influenced you don't fully realize what an influence he was on them. Yes, I just said that that way.

[@MiguelMakesMusic]

Sounds amazing, glad you got Fralin to redo the neck pickup. I hope going forward you let the big name experts handle repairs on vintage guitars. :)

[@musicauthority9939]

That is exactly what I thought happened, the enamel coating on the wire over a long period of time. will get brittle. and it will chip or crack in the winding of the pickup causing a short. it happens occasionally on much older vintage guitars. and it's a little more common on single coil pickups. you made an excellent choice having Lindy Fralin looks at that pickup. because he and his staff are extremely knowledgeable about most all pickups. especially much older vintage pickups. and he has as close to period correct wire as a person can get. and he has the most period correct wax for wax potting. and the most important thing is his knowledge of the correct spec's for all the pickups. the most important being the amount of winds of the wire. since the amount winds determines the ohm's resistance and the tone of the pickup. back when the pickups were made for that guitar they were hand wound. and now they have a machine specially designed to wind pickups. that has a counter on it so they can tell how many winds of wire are in the spool of the pickup. so he can get it right back within spec..and the also knows what the correct spacing between the pickup and the strings should be. so with Mr Fralin's help you should be able to get that AWESOME guitar back to original spec's. without it being devalued very much.

[@luthravin4774]

Awesomeness!! Send that amp to Uncle Doug Trogs!! He will video the complete overhaul if needed and give us all a great lesson on what this amp actually puts out and how it performs!! Get it done!!

Merry Christmas, Austin. You took quite a bit of grief over the super glue (me included) that was a little harsh, but, not to try and add any more negativity - I'm pointing it out because it sounds like you're not understanding something and I wouldn't want you to do it again. When taping something off, you have to make sure that ALL the tape close to the possible invader is smoothed down, pressed down, whatever you would like to call it. You keep saying the glue got under it - it can't do that if the tape is securely attached to the surface. You have to make sure ALL the area of tape surrounding the target spot is smoothed over and attached to the surface completely that it is protecting. Running a credit card over it in your case would have probably done the trick to ensure full adhesion. I only say this because I am a painter, and we learn that after having to repaint enough times!

Another great video! I really enjoyed the first one on this guitar. And I love this follow up. Les Pauls are my favorite guitars. And the early Les Paul/SGs are really interesting. I currently own a couple of SGs. Both Epiphones. I operate in a different price tier than you do. One is a 61 Special and the other is the new Worn Cherry with P90s. I intended to sell the 61 Special when I bought the Worn Cherry with P90s, but when I got it, I spent some time with both of them, and they are so different, and both so good. I’m really trying to do a one in one out strategy right now. Trying to keep my collection to lucky number 13. But, damn. I’m having a hard time figuring out which guitar I could let go. First world problem, for sure. I really enjoy your videos and your passion for guitars. And, we seem to have similar taste in guitars. Although your budget is definitely different than mine. And congrats for that. Carry on, Trogly. 👍

[@Winterfell1066]

I wish you would review and document more vintage guitars like this. It would really help vintage guitar enthusiasts and those that are buying to know more about what to look for in specs and appointments. It is one thing to read about it in a book, but another to see it in video. Thanks very much for this video. Merry Christmas.

[@Dan.Solo.Chicago]

I have a vintage Gibson amp and I love it. It’s a G-30 from the 70’s. Solid state combo with spring reverb and tremolo. It’s basically Gibson’s version of a Fender Princeton Reverb. There’s no gain knob on it and I love using it with pedals. Without that gain knob I feel like I have complete control of the tones. Sounds great clean too. It’s actually a really good clean jazz amp. I hate jazz though. It was my brothers first amp when he started playing around 1980. He handed down to me When I started playing in the mid 90’s. I didn’t really appreciate back then. Years ago I discovered it in my moms basement and brought it home. I cleaned it up and just fell in love with the tone.

[@EdHeinzelman]

My first amp was a Gibson Minuteman which I regret selling. I gigged it early on 1964 - 66 or so when I replaced it with a Vox AC-30. The Minuteman with it's reverb was a truly flexible and enjoyable amp.

[@Stereotype5346]

my '61 Les Paul Custom came with the same case you found !!

[@sjsuismylife]

That reminds me of a 65 super reverb I bought at a thrift shop like $80. Now, the original speakers were gone in place of a generic 15", and the electronics were original, and toast, and it had some ugly brown fabric as a grille cloth. I bought new grille cloth, decided to stay with the 15" speaker (new warehouse) and took it to LA and had all of the electronics (tubes included) replaced. The Tolex was still on good shape. I ended up dumping like $700 into it, and while it was nowhere near original, it sounded beautiful. Problem was, I lived in an upstairs apartment that shook when I turned it higher than 4, and I had no gigs, so no practical use for it. I enjoyed it for a few months and ended up selling it to a young guy who sounded great playing my Tele through it. I was sad to see it go, but I got about as much out of it as I put into it, and now somebody's loving it for sure.

Nuts are generally glued on with a dab of wood glue so can be popped off easily to avoid damage ironically : ) I own an original a 62 ebony block. Not as clean as this one but is the best sounding guitar I own. It is naturally a really loud guitar compared to my newer ones.. Great video and thanks for sharing this one! Happy Holidays!

[@kevinr.3542]

I recently paid a tech to replace my nut and he did such a bad job (the b string was filed way too low and sounded like a sitar) I decided I would just learn how to don't myself. I conxluded its actually quite easy. I was most worried about removing the old nut but after a little scoring around the edges, one tap against a wood block and it came loose. Then its just a matter of filing and sanding until it feels and sounds right.

[@grantcindrich]

Gibson pushed the ebony block stock with both the tusk and teaspoon I believe but imo, getting a nickel teaspoon is a great move especially for resale, tusk arms are always a great parts drawer addition if you ever dive further into “super vintage” too + most of the 60s examples in reach bare chrome hardware/tremolos. Fantastic conclusion to a jaw dropping example! Merry Christmas!!

I’ve just bought a Japanese made Ibanez. Later I noticed there’s glue residue on the fretboard around fret 12-13. I’d say even professional messed up with glue. In my case it’s worse as their QA didn’t spot the error, neither did I. So don’t blame yourself too hard :). PS I can’t just go to the store and return it. I’ve got it from Japan. By the time I notice it, I was already at home.

This comment might be 7 month's after the video's post but Trogley this is so cool. Fralin did you up right. It also helped that they had something good to work with. I imagine if he needed to wind both coils it would have cost more money but yeah. And a wise decision on you're behalf to entrust them with that. Super clean job. That amplifier I have an Epiphone of that era and I'll tell you the amplifier you have is really clean as well as the guitar. A KZbinr Uncle Doug does good work. It I figure would be worth a shot to see if he would take on the project of getting that thing in order. Also that case isn't bad...not bad at all really cool.

[@b.rodclark7349]

Actually the bridge pickup sounds hotter than the neck pickup which is weird since it has a higher DCR reading than the bridge pickup but then again that would also depends on the height of the pickup itself like the neck pickup to be adjusted higher to match the bridge pickup which may have to be lowered to balance the sound of both combined.

One thing I am wondering about is the trem arm originality. I have seen a number of later SG models that feature the (aluminum?) tailpiece version with the same stainless steel tone arm that are apparently all original. I am thinking that the difference in material might be something Gibson was comfortable with and therefore, might actually be original to the guitar and not a replacement. Just something to look into maybe?

@@justinkase8642 right, Gibson didn’t measure the resistance of them before putting them in the guitars in 1962. It was just random installation. It’s not a surprise to end up with a hotter pickup in the neck position. It’s a coin toss.
