Ok so he did did play part of that song, i thought i was mistaken.

[@BizarrePudding]

That, and the fact that Buck Dharma has played an ES175 makes it a really appropriate song to reference...Not sure if he did on C.O.F. (with R'n;R) but most famously Buck did use a 175 on 'Don't Fear The Reaper'.

[@porcelainthunder2213]

Speaking of damaging guitars on TV, Disney + has a "how its made" type show called Made In A Day that has an episode innthe Nashville Gibson factory. You can easily see why so many guitars from there have finish damage. Many members of the production line are wearing jewelry while working on the guitars, specifically very loose fitting metal watch bands, belt buckles, and even a very loose metal chain bracelet. You can see this jewelry coming in contact with the guitar finish, even being moved across the finish, in numerous shot during the show. Even if you are careful, you eventually will end up hitting the guitar and cause scratches in the finish or chuncks out of the binding or divits in the tops. And being so fresh, no doubt the finishes are still soft. This is inexcusable for a modern production line. I can't believe they allow ANY loose or metal jewelry to be worn by workers on the line, especially in the final steps after the finish like assembly or inspection. Pretty much no manufacturing company allows jewelry on the line, particularly loose, especially where it can damage product. Such a simple thing, but Gibson doesn't get it.

[@michealpopplewell3894]

Did you happen to catch why the binding and fretboard marks are so bad?

[@porcelainthunder2213]

@@IrisGalaxis 2020, probably filmed in 19.

[@porcelainthunder2213]

@@michealpopplewell3894 looking at it again, there are A LOT of unprotected metal tools and clamps used after the binding is attached. So who knows. But they hand wrap the binding with rope when gluing it on, so its not likely that.

[@porcelainthunder2213]

@@IrisGalaxis they still have a lot of finish issues that should not be there in a guitar that cost well into the thousands of dollars. Epiphone has better out of the box quality on a much cheaper guitar.

[@hkguitar1984]

@@michealpopplewell3894 the tooling marks are the result of how Gibson forms the fret nibs. The neck binding protrudes above the fingerboard and is filed flush between each fret end up and down the entire neck while leaving the binding at each fret end. That is how the fret nibs are formed. Because of the Les Paul’s body shape it is very difficult to file the binding in the areas where the neck has joined the body as there is not much room to work the file properly. I’ve had to make/file fret nubs before on a repair I completed, it is a real pain in the a$$ to do the job without leaving tool marks. In all honesty a special bent/shaped file needs to be developed that would make the job easier. It wouldn’t totally eliminate the tooling marks but would speed the process up and allow the builders extra time to be more careful. I’d lose my mind if I had the do that type of work +8 hours a day.

Your right, love the solid black restore on the top. Very unique. Sound like your lovin it!

[@joermnyc]

The black top and flamed and burst sides and back, remind me of some acoustics where they put crazy flamed, quilted, or hurled wood on the back and sides, but the top is “boring” spruce so it’s either left natural, or finished over in black or stained. The Lick failed to summon Adam Neely.

Just Shoot Me was one of those sitcoms that got popular enough to be a water cooler type show, but it managed to stay on the air for awhile because if it's core dedicated audience. Usually shows like that get a more popular after they go off the air, but this one never did. I remember writing it off as a Newsradio rip off back in the late 90's.

Thanks, I knew that sounded familiar😁

[@Dan.Solo.Chicago]

I learned to play on a mid 60’s 175 that belongs to my brother. It has only a neck humbucker, and a wooden bridge. It has the best neck ever. Really thin. I would hammer out Nirvana songs, and it sounded really gnarly through my Boss OS-2 overdrive/distortion pedal.

[@ReeWebster]

That was some lovely playing there dude, I know it wasn't complicated but that was flawless with all the feel in the world. Edit: the guitar sings beautifully too.

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Great seeing a great, big o'l Gibson guitar on your show. JUST SHOOT ME is one of my favorite shows from the late 90s, early 2000s. Timely too, as George Segal who starred in the show as Jack Gallo just recently died a few weeks ago. Fortunately, the guitar wasn't burned to a chunk of coal, and, the work done on it looks sweet. It sounds great too. Nice pickin' and tremolo work you're doing here.

[@tetsucat13]

Fantastic episode. What Trogly does best. Reminds me of the Japanese anime Beck shot guitar episode.

I had forgot about that show, it was freaking hilarious. And that is a sweet looking guitar. Very cool episode Trogly.

[@charlesrense5199]

I liked it well enough at the time. Seemed like there was some kind of supporting/bit player pipeline between it and Mr Show. Both Bob Odenkirk and David cross had recurring characters, and Brian Posein (sp?) was in the cast.

That mark on the back is probably why it was a second.

[@samuelzetterman]

I love seeing more archtops on your channel👍 ...even if its just because they were burnt😣

[@edwinstovall3334]

Austin, I must thank you for something unexpected. Your tone demo gave me a chance to hear Gibson's 57 Classic humbuckers well enough to compare their sound to that of a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classics that I have installed in an Ibanez RG220B that I rescued from a pawn shop. My ears tell me that my Alnico Classics represent the sound of the 57 Classics rather well. That tells me that I made a good choice in buying the Epis; the fact that I installed them in such a "metal" guitar is no mistake. I don't think that I'm stuck in a "vintage" rut, but my ears LOVE these pickups!😎❤️️🎸‼️

[@PierceThirlen2]

I really love the tone of the neck pickup. But the bridge pickup is like nails on the chalkboard. Especially distorted, the neck pickup just has a more powerful "I fear no evil because I'm the meanest SOB in the valley" sound.

[@charlesrense5199]

Just roll off the tone on it, should be fine.
