A Step in the Right Direction... | Trogly's Unboxing Guitars Vlog

[@MartRockCafe]

Can't wait for the Trogly museum, when it comes into existence I will be booking a flight from the UK 👍🤘

[@darrenlawrence587]

I'll be on the same plane!

[@paulraider2001]

Back in the late 70's I sent away for a promotional package from Gibson that I saw in a Guitar Player magazine add. It came with the standard dealer kit of brochures and some posters, one of which was that one. I had that on my wall all through high school until I left home for the Navy. Thanks for the memories Austin.

[@BelchasGearOFC]

My friends: "Omg you know so much about guitars, how did you get all that information??" Me: "Trogly's Guitar Show"

[@simonpark843]

I have some original comic book art framed in so-called 'museum glass' and it's excellent stuff. I really like the case candy you got, and your enthusiasm for what you're doing is what I like most about your channel.

[@cjr1324]

I have an extensive collection of autographed music memorabilia, signed albums, lithographs, posters, etc and have a lot of experience framing my stuff. My frame shop calls what you’re looking for “Museum Glass”. UV protection and low to zero glare. It’s the best stuff to use. Good idea to shop around, and if possible negotiate a volume discount because the highest quality glass, which really is what you want, is going to be pretty expensive. Good luck!! Ahhhh - quick edit. That museum glass covering the donuts is exactly the same stuff I use. I’ve seen that display. Like I said expensive as hell, but worth it.

[@anonymousanonymous3073]

Always love your show. The museum sounds fantastic- hope you get it up and running ✌️

Video Idea: Would love to see you get a roughed up guitar and see how you deep clean it and polish it, with techinics and products to use, what to avoid, etc. Tutorial style, with different finishes, nitro, poly and stuff! Don't skip it! I wanna see the tarnished one becoming shinning LORD! *wink wink*

If you have a stripped hole in wood instead of using toothpicks use a golf tee with wood glue. They are usually hardwood and are the perfect size for most screw holes.

[@serennosquadcast8297]

the calendars are very cool.

[@ravenheart1439]

Yeah don't stop the workbench thing, your the only that does it, and it's a huge part why I watch you, it is very interesting to me to see the inside of these guitars, learned a lot from that...fact you do THE best reviews that I've found on KZbin...I thought I knew all there was to les pauls....wrong....feel like an infant since i found you lol...

Rebuild that bass it would be sick

[@clarkbabin9799]

I've only ever gotten one guitar where the strap button near the neck needed some attention. The 82 Studio Greenburst I just got was one of a few that the strap button on the tail end was loose and needed to be fixed. I've never seen a Map guitar in person but one of the dealer shops I frequented years back that is no longer in existence had that same poster . Still no word on when Harley Davidson and Gibson are doing linked products.

[@leddygee1896]

The color key chart is way cool! I will definitely pay your museum a visit when you get up and running. went to Songbirds museum in Chattanooga TN earlier this year. and that was after they sold off the really rare stuff. It was still packed with a lot of great guitars, but the vault area was not open anymore.

In 1999 (maybe it was 1998) I bought my 1999-dated Gibson Les Paul Classic in Bullion Gold through Musician's Friend. It came with a matte black with gold lettering Zippo lighter (which I still have). It also came with an approximately 5"x7" small hardcover Gibson-branded spiral notebook with the same black field with gold Gibson lettering motif. The final item of the set was a black and gold Gibson pen. Does anyone know anything about these items? Did anyone else receive these 3 (or even just 1 of any of those 3 items individually)?

[@darrenlawrence587]

I love seeing the Gibson esoterica (promo material, etc). Looking forward to a closer look at the calendars!

[@russellzauner]

If you don't have exterior windows, then UV doesn't get in and the minimal UV presented by interior lighting can be filtered at source (so you don't have to buy giant amounts of glass). If you plan on having a *lot* of guitars, it might just be smarter to put UV blocking/reflective windows in and then there is no UV in the museum and you don't need cases (you can put mesh/bars if you want to keep people from actually touching them or crossing the ropes).

[@russellzauner]

Personally I'd put in UV blocking windows and without cases the natural light will really let people see the life in your pieces. If you keep the air in that space exchanged properly you can pull any particles that people shed into your HVAC quickly so you don't have contamination and dust. If you're treating rooms then humidity is actually pretty easy to control once you've got airflow/heat/cooling managed. The easiest thing to do would be to partition medium size rooms off, give them each a couple windows plus some automatic light balancers for your internal lighting (like pro podcasters use), then their environments will be easier to keep clean and stable but still offer a nice experience. They're of a decent size but not too big so you can move displays and groups around okay enough without having to replumb and rewire everything all the time. I'd also suggest using electrical busway to enhance the clean lines and configurability as well as monitoring solutions being included (it's expensive but every time a company folds so do their labs/manufacturing so it's relatively affordable on ebay-ish places). I miss my old job...I used to build a lot of labs. But being retired is cool too; less money, no bosses, it works out.

[@dananthony6258]

I appreciate all the time you put into making these videos Trog. Thanks for all the good times.

[@Kahuna54]

You have to tell us where your museum will be! I’ll be there!👏🏻👏🏻

[@graftongodofmemes]

Mate...that museum have you done any feasibility studies for something like that? You need to be aligned with a patronage or government backing. Has there EVER been a successful commercial museum of ANY sort? Ever? One that only relies on people through the door to survive? museums need a lot more than ticket sales to be viable.

[@vernonhoover1387]

It cleaned up nice

[@tobydavis6770]

Just purchased a 2002 Limited Edition Copper Top Studio Les Paul and I absolutely love it. Just wondering if there’s a video where anyone has documented one of them? I was told only 200 were made.

[@PepsMcEps]

Have you ever considered including a professional recording studio to your museum concept? Artists could come record with historic guitars from the museum. Possibly work out guitar loaning/trading programs to bring in new interesting pieces with new stories (and add to the stories of the guitars you've already documented). Obviously, i'm on board with the minigolf too

[@steveprue8144]

[@77Marcel]

That's an absolutely beautiful guitar. I love your show and seeing all these "works of art" is great.

[@andrewbecker3700]

You shouldn't ever have to fill or drill a guitar body to get the straplocks tight. If the wood is stripped out of the existing hole from the original screw, all you need to do is get a slightly bigger screw with coarse threads and put a small drop of gorilla glue on the very tip of the screw before you slowly hand thread it into the hole, making sure to keep continuous pressure inward until just snug with minimal compression of the felt washer. If the screw fits through the strap button, it's not gonna damage the guitar.

[@sethgross3904]

That’s sounds more professional than the way I do it. Stick a toothpick in the hole, snap it off, screw back in.

[@andrewbecker3700]

@@sethgross3904 everybody knows that quick fix. I'm talking about a permanent repair that won't fail again.

Why does gibson put red backs on guitars where it clashes with the top? That les paul should have a black or matching burst on the back.

[@lylesteely2604]

there are companies that make films that can be put on your exterior windows that will cut UV....then that 70% glass is less of a concer

[@andresmartinez-ny7rj]

Review a jaguar hh special!

[@rexrathtar3893]

If you're worried about uv fading the finishes, you could just do it like the Country Music Hall of Fame and have it without any windows in the display rooms.

[@hkguitar1984]

You could always apply a UV Blocking film to any outside windows, however some interior lighting still produces a good amount of UV Light. This is less of an issue these days with dedicated LED lighting. I really think a clear UV blocking film on any outside facing windows with the use of interior LED lighting would be sufficient to protect all of the guitar finishes from premature fading.
