📚Description: I ran across an individual with nearly identical tastes in guitars as I. After making offers on a few of his listings and seeing he kept listing more 70s/80s Gibsons, I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to him to see if more are on their way. Long story short, I left with an empty wallet that day and came back later for more! He is just selling off his doubles at this time. They will make some great reviews!

[@DavidFell]

Those Gibson letters are fascinating. My guess is those employees knew virtually nothing about guitars. As you’re well aware, they date from the Chicago Musical Instruments/Norlin era. That address is not far from my old neighborhood. The building currently there looks like it dates from the 50s or 60s so may well be the same one. But it’s a single story office building. It’s currently a secondary office for a small publisher. I’d bet there were administrative staff in that building, not luthiers.

[@phalayasasukmakarsa1852]

That's a nice line: "Education makes people want things...."

[@ethanhitchcock5431]

Oh baby that Spotlight Special tis a beauty !,,,the top on the Tobacco Sunburst LP is WHOA-WHAM-WOWY !!!..and Im a sucker for a Gold Top LP ! also love all the vintage Gibson paperwork...Thanks Trogly !!

[@jeffgualandijr9420]

those Gibson letters and disposable record is just so cool.

[@donerskine7935]

6:10 I'm guessing a "certain replaced part" is/are the frets....

[@presmasterflash7555]

I’m not big on those spotlights but that one is the nicest balance of elements I’ve seen yet. The interior of the case compliments it as well.

[@jimmyjames2022]

Yes another Corvus review would be fun! Maybe a database would help to keep track of buying, selling, contacts, specs and photos. Even a spreadsheet would be some help.

[@nwojdak]

I'd really like to see the Futura documentation, your Corvus video is one of my favorites, so I'd love to see the "higher-end" version of that guitar

[@criskatan]

I had a Gibson nylon string that I sold to a guy for $100. I knew that it was a mistake at the time, but this convention came around, just South of Seattle, and I needed the $ so I was on my way and some guy stopped me, before I could even get there, and bought it off me on the spot. He was so happy.

[@pepmasters-999]

That vibrant flame top is just crazy good.

[@EarslimeRecords619]

Just found your channel. Love it man. Love your vibe too

[@steveparish9210]

Ive got the Keith Richards, Carlos Santana and BB King catalog s too!😊

[@papasmamas1]

On that colour, that Corvus actually looks really impressive!

[@pjdava]

The Trogly's Guitar Show, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

[@rickvalentine1041]

I've been hoping that you would get a 30th Anniversary GT some day. Looks like yours is a re-fret. let's add the nut to my guess of replaced parts.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Spotlight special was gorgeous.

[@johnnyxmusic]

Are used to have a fender catalog from sometime in the 80s… Featuring artists I never heard of like bassist Phil Chen! They had these super deluxe, Strats, and Teles with these noiseless pick ups that look kind of goofy with their solid white covers… but they promise to be so fantastic… I just thought to myself, if I could ever get my hands on one of those I’d be so good. Silly silly silly. But having that document was just a cool thing in the pre-Internet era… To just look at over and over again someone will know the guitars I’m talking about. I don’t know if they were called Elite or what at the time.

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

That spotlight special is certainly special looking !

[@Tankman333]

trogly while i am not much on the comments i get the greatest charge out of your real excitement when you are on to something that grabs ya im like right there with the moment its the best ill ever come to the real thing personally i just love this stuff thanks for bringing this old player along on your journey and i do mean old!

[@Themonkeychunkspunk]

I have a 65 Melody Maker that came with the "Custom Made" plaque on it as well

[@mikecarbone828]

Salutations Austin! That Spotlight Special Les Paul has an absolutely beautiful top, and also the Les Paul with the amazing 3 dimensional grain pattern is very exceptional too. I look forward to seeing special videos of both of these instruments! Thanks for sharing! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

[@oswaldogrunenfelder8761]

Yes, please! Do the Futura review!

[@ckelly5141]

Great episode Trogly.🎸👍

[@BlockDefender]

I appreciate the gold top love! When I was 11 I was inspired to start playing because I saw a video of Slash shredding on one. Been my favorite ever since!

[@noahninetyone]

Do you ever plan to do weird Gibsons again? Seeing the Futura again got my attention. They have some pretty trend chasing 80s basses but still cool to document. The Gibson 20/20 bass is a grail for me personally.

[@monstrok]

That is the cleanest Corvus I've seen since they were brand new in stores. Great find.

[@disco4535]

And for only 1300, crazy good deal even if they are hard to sell

[@TM-ev2tc]

I am waiting for Gibson to come out with a Gibson "Trogly" Les Paul. Maybe one of these days we will get one. Just in case start thinking of what you want on it. 👍

[@JokersWild70]

You'll probably be waiting for a long time

[@clarkbabin9799]

Well he's already designed it for April fools day.

[@hifibrony]

A late friend of mine had a Les Paul KM. Lovely instrument that sounded like a million bucks.

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Whoa!! That's one fine collection of Les Pauls!!! You gotta post the Gibson floppy disc!

[@stewsim]

Wow…I think that ‘82 gold top was mine at one point…! Anxiously awaiting the review video on it…!!!

[@jordanfeltcorn1645]

You should do the gold top review in memory of Dickey Betts!

[@rudiyantohalim736]

That spotlight is gorgeous, but the one after it is even more

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

The top was stunning. Might be called cloud or plough rut burst.

[@svart_kors]

I love that Futura and sadly regret never buying that Corvus from you when it was still posted.

[@JuliusMas-bz6my]

I love gold tops.

[@darrenj7]

You have definitely become synonymous with the brand brother, and, like the guitars themselves, people will either love or hate you. I love your show and what you do. Rock on!

[@junipervisaya5699]

Make that future vid, it’s honestly my dream guitar ever since I saw it in guitar hero as a kid and love when ppl make content about it

[@corneliuscrewe8165]

I’m not as rule a big fan of the Spotlight Specials, but that one is a keeper.

[@Kahuna54]

The shape of the case looks more like an Explorer instead of a Firebird.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

It does indeed

[@DavidFell]

Disposable records? I’ve never heard them called that before. That cheap thin format can be quite collectible; it’s how the original Beatles Fan Club Christmas Records were made. Flexi-disc was the big brand in the US.

[@curtisprice9806]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FLAME TOP ON THE SPOTLIGHT !!!

[@kristianthomsen8878]

The suspense!😅

[@tykit9230]

The one with the stripe ❤

[@xBlitzerx]

What year SG would that be? I love the squared off edges. 7:33

[@clarkbabin9799]

Its different but don't hate it. I bought two of hos Epiphone SGs for players. Not bad little inexpensive guitars. I hope to grab the 62 LesPaul Standard Gibson Ebony block from him one day. Just not in the cards at this point.

[@grantcindrich]

That’s a gnarly spotlight

[@jonathanhudak2059]

My favoritea are the Goldtop, the 1971 SG lineup promotional material and that Marauder/Corvus guitar, cant wait to see a review of those two!

[@stockholm1752]

4:29 - This one ! Oh, my. GES (Guitar Envy Syndrome).

[@guitarplayer6565]

Man collecting is a funny game, of course 1200 for a funky looking guitar that I’ll never play is a great deal!

[@simonpark843]

Please make the Futura video.

[@erickmartin5667]

I'd be tempted to start something like a Blondie/Cars type band with that Futura Corvus thing. I kinda like it but I'd put DiMarzio's in it

[@Siggy_Sour]

zig zag mountain top flame Holy Shizzz

[@Greg-rd8qr]

Awesome!

[@EricClapton1945]

Wish I could find a lefty spotlight :,(

[@islandfocus2]

I don't really like the gold tops myself.

[@greggrant502]

I like the KM

[@paultrombetta]

That Spotlight...............Spalooooooooogey

[@tgarder]

For some reason I think I'd get the strongest itch to rip off that Custom Made plaque everytime I saw that LP if I owned it. Good thing I don't!

[@jameshughes6049]

Evening all!!!

[@RedEyedPatriot]

That 82 gold top is my birth year and almost birthday. If I read thag correctly its the 34th day of 82 which would be February 3rd. Im still looking for a 039th day February 8th 1982 les paul.

[@J-Anderson]

4:24 It's important to be carefull with rust, because tetanus is a pretty bad disease.

[@danmichel7653]

Yes do the future of please 😅

[@guitarman6632]

I got about a dozen , I'd let go !

[@JokersWild70]

A dozen Gibson LP'S?

[@honkytonkinson9787]

I swear some of these rich people must buy guitars like I bought baseball cards when I was a kid Get some rich person gum and then go through: “got it, got it, need it, got it…”

[@johnnyxmusic]

Is there a giant stack of Firebird X cases somewhere? 😮 I mean after they bulldozed all those guitars… Today, just recycle and retrofit the cases?

[@stevegallagher4082]

Gold top and birth year! Make me a deal Trog

[@clarkbabin9799]

I have at least one guitar that should've came with a chainsaw case back in 83 . But having had a knockoff chainsaw case o wouldve rather at least get a regular case since the same place i bought that one from just so happened to have the era correct case . Sounded as if they may have gotten the case with the guitar. Had i realized that i wouldve offered them less for the guitar. Its just not right that dealers do this and should be more upfront on this type of thing. Some of us cant afford to be jacked like that. I've always liked the cherry sunburst myself. I hope the guy who had the Gold top takes better care of the guitars than his cases. To bad I cant possibly afford it since its the year I graduated. Those 45 rpm records were just a cheap way for record companies to stamp records. Aa fragile as an old floppy disc . They usex to stuff them in promotional items and came with some new instruments as well as in cereal boxes helping record labels promote acts as well as the cereal.

[@jeffbarnard9246]

Love the flame, that was fantastic Trogly great show thanx bud

[@Mickcotton]

Hello. I have a 98 Gibson Joe Perry Black Burst It’s Beautiful. Do you want to review it ? Cheers I may put it on Reverb to sell. Take Care

[@MPF-80]

Cherry Burst = Clown Burst ;)

[@jeanpaulmare6468]

NO on the futura. Thank you.

[@user-iy7yb1sh8g]

I don't care. I still want that Standard gold top.

[@larrydj549]

Stop teasin!

[@conservativerealist]

Was trogley born in 82.

[@drzecelectric4302]

So you are doing videos of the same guitars you already did videos on lol

[@neiljohnsen276]

Has anyone out there noticed?... Trogly sounds like Kermit 🐸 !

[@marions.120]

Let’s do this!

[@hectormutton2542]

✌️

[@larryburwell8550]

beautiful cherry sunburst with the cream pickups. looks like my 81 custom after i converted it to cream plastics and dimarzios. i hate the black on cherry bursts. that futura is disgusting design

[@AndrewSmith-pc8eq]

Finally! Trogly admits that his show drives up the price market values and makes Gibsons cost alot more than they should based on their poor quality control issues.

[@rocketpigrecords3719]

Muh poor quality control issues, but you're complaining that they're too expensive for you to buy, because you want one. Something keeping you from buying a Glarry?

[@leviathan_is_me]

It's not exactly a secret. Trogly sells Gibson guitars. It's in his best interest to keep the prices low enough that people will pay it, but high enough to make bank. Any capitalist would do the same. Don't put stock in what he says on prices. It's smoke and mirrors. He is a salesman. He is a very entertaining showman of a salesman, but a salesman nonetheless. These vids are basically demos of his inventory while also being guitar porn, lol. Smart guy, even if 9 out of 10 people whine and complain, that 10th is dropping $ for all of us to get a daily video and possibly learn a thing or two about our favorite guitars.... win/win.

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Prices are not determined by one person trading guitars. That's a ridiculous suggestion. What he might achieve is publicity for a specific model and that might attract greater interest from guitar nerds and traders. No guitar manufacturer will determine prices by reference to Trogly.

[@clarkbabin9799]

I'd dare say dealers like CME and Sam Ash contribute more to that.

[@clarkbabin9799]

I'd say prices are determined by demand but also certain dealers who are revered that set prices higher also. You could always buy a Heritage made in the old Kalamazoo plant. Those aren't that cheap either.

4:27 so you think the top or middle latches should be that rusty?

I love gold tops.

[@wretchedrider2157]

NO, I DO...

I, too, love gold tops.
