That “baptism tray” is modeled after the Manhattan Bridge. It’s even the same blue color.

[@moongate31]

Motorcycle (or motorcycle-styled) jackets have longer sleeves so that when you are riding and your arms are extended, the sleeves still cover your wrists.

[@tlhamon]

Agreed. The jacket fits the way it is supposed to which means the sleeves are the correct length when you extend your arms out in front of you. Great when you are on your motorcycle, super frustrating when you reach for a coffee cup and dump it over. :(

[@RsSquier51]

Why would anyone need to ask why you prefer to collect clean examples of guitars? Seems rather obvious.

[@leviathan_is_me]

Which is probably why he has to, a lot of people are missing this thing you and I refer to as "common sense".😉

[@WaurufEx]

I mean, as a collector Trogly obviously wants the best-looking guitars. If he was a player like Agufish (just look at his two Norlin-era LP Customs) he wouldn't mind dings, scratches, or non-original parts. I think a lot of people just lack critical thinking nowadays.

[@vonslagle]

I collect records and comic books and guess what? I also prefer to purchase clean instead of busted. Call me crazy! 😂

[@dukenukembubblegum7311]

Because people want guitars that look like they’ve been played hard, an aged without actually doing the work. I wouldn’t seek out a beat up guitar, but I know I definitely play the crap out of mine, and don’t care if it shows it’s age

[@davehopping7212]

Trogly's a curator more than anything else; solidbody electric guitars have always had a mystique to them that makes them art objects as well as work tools, and he selects interesting ones to show us. It's something like an auto museum having a never-used NYPD 1963 Chevy Police Interceptor or a mint 1946 Checker taxicab. The museum pieces are to be preserved and admired, and only occasionally and lightly played . For the gig, there are lots of production pieces and reissues.

[@216trixie]

Yes

[@sammelchi]

⁠​⁠@@Gordon-ss9ss My brother in Christ he is curating a museum. You sound bitter for no reason

[@chris_2714]

Those Les Paul Sr.'s are pretty cool guitars. Would be nice to see them made more often

[@riverbard8287]

The motorcycle jacket sleeves are supposed to be longer than a dress coat’s. It’s so they don’t pull back short when your reaching out for the handle bars on your motorcycle.

[@billyblackwell3495]

The sleaves are motorcycle cut. If you put your hands strait forward they come up to correct length.🤘🏴‍☠️🎸

[@patrickjoy9551]

That Paul SR and that custom Strat are fantastic specimens. I would have been very reluctant to let those go. Hope they found good owners.

[@pjevans854]

Collecting the guitar because of protective film on the pickguard…that is a level of OCD I’ve never heard of

[@sydrose13]

Trogly a tip I got from my luthier for my matte neck that can become glossy with play is to occasionally gently sand it back with 0000 grade sandpaper. Works well. Try a test area if you're not confident with it, but it'll bring back the matte without taking finish. Never tried it with unglossed necks though myself, just matte necks

[@anthonylachtara266]

MC leather jackets like that were $34.00 back on delancy st in NYC,way before Slash ,he was about 6 then🙄

[@pwallace5921]

While I appreciate the efforts to try and collect mint examples, it is simultaneously sad to know those examples will likely end up just sitting untouched for potentially decades. Same with folks that buy limited run cars and park them in a garage with virtually no miles. I low key loathe mint guitars. Nothing detracts more from a playing experience than having to constantly worry about the dead mint condition being tarnished trying to actually use the thing as intended. At that point, it is basically just art. So many interviews of folks getting rid of 59’ Les Pauls and alike because they could never enjoy them fully due to the high risk of damage and or theft that could be financially crippling.

[@mcfats7652]

Wow, I've been watching your show for a couple of months now and somehow I was not subbed. That has been corrected! Thanks for showcasing the sweet gear, and for the sharing of all that knowledge! I respect fellas like you who have niche mastery of certain subjects and choose to share it with the world. Guys like you are a treasure to humanity, thank you!

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

I collect dirty guitars. I’m gonna muck em up anyways because I play everything. Feels like I’m adopting an unloved puppy when I put some work into a neglected axe.

[@Davidckennedymusic]

I love the stories behind the guitars!

[@bldallas]

There’s no such thing as a “clean” factory reliced guitar.

[@tesmith1953]

Anybody else point out that the cars are going backwards in your Sweetwater add?

[@jeremynebraska]

I love the Joan Jett guitars!! So nice!!!

[@miahconnell23]

I love that she got the attention and respect that goes along with getting your own signature model. She been cool since day one. 🙌

[@paulraider2001]

I got a bong full of holy water.

[@demuthjesse]

Why dont u just changee the pick guards on the Joan jet?

[@Jake-yx7ct]

That is a really snazzy Tele. Love that finish and the maple fretboard. Yummm Oh.

[@thumpyloudfoot864]

Seriously getting some CUBAN vibes from that first thing-a-majig...

[@morganweast4228]

If the jacket was actually made to ride a motorcycle, then that would explain the longer arms

[@zeusapollo8688]

That senior is killer

[@doctoribanez]

Bucket head guitar needs to be built more

[@corneliuscrewe8165]

Collectors are such a pain.

[@clarkbabin9799]

That big blue thing looks like it may have been some sort of disply item for cigars ar maybe a piece designed for a smoking room.I've got a bomber type biker jacket that has pretty much most of the same style of the jacket you have but it's a heavy piece of material made by Diamond Plate. It's a company that does bike wear and other items motorcycle related.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

I don’t smoke Drew Estate. I like Marcus Daniel Cigars out of Naples Florida.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

I thought you preferred Bances there Sarge! 😉

[@bldallas]

Wow, that is such an awesome looking guitar. I absolutely LOVE that purple flame top. Gorgeous.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Buckethead is awesome

[@Nizodizo]

Do you know what kind of keyboard that is?

[@Kookiebiskit]

Oh my god the YTP-style editing during the BAPTISM TRAY section had me rolling, great job editor!

[@dananthony6258]

I love the reliced Joan Jet guitar. Very cool.

[@ALTDOK667]

Old Gibson guy, Really enjoy your content, Thank you Sir.

[@scottbogfoot]

Is there a way to reestablish the stain finish? Always dislike seeing you sell bh studios, I think your on borrowed time to find clean ones.

[@joeyracano1]

I liked some of these collectables!

[@blodpudding]

I'm a priest, and those holy water trays are glorious! Peace be upon you, brother Trogly! Thank you for helping spread the good word across the globe.

[@StreetPreacherr]

I'm confused... Is this some 'misdirection' or 'code' that I'm not familiar with? The other item looked like an 'ash tray', are you not allowed to show ash trays in a KZbin video? Or is it actually a 'baptism tray', and YT just doesn't like any religious associatons?

[@anthonylachtara266]

I had a 2002 prs dragon,blue,it was such a pristine piece that I really did not want to touch it,sold it for a good buck,let the collector appreciate it hanging in a glass case in a wall

[@seanharris200]

Where are you getting the Purple LP? I want one!! But in a 60’s neck. I looked on Gibsons site and I didn’t see them… Maybe I’m blind… Lol.

What does it mean that that is a baptism tray?

Drew Estate. Honkin Cigars brother.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

That brand new purple burst Les Paul of Curtis' at the beginning of the episode is a beautiful guitar congratulations! Also liked the V and one pickup Les Paul senior custom you sold, awesome!

[@Cyclops1973]

Trogly in the future when you fart in a video you don’t have to announce it. We can’t smell it.

A humidor goes on the 2nd shelf, I have something similar only mine is a pipe cabinet. I don't understand yt's having a problem, but they also work in mysterious ways.

[@donthewatcher]

Thanks for the Epi greeny Trogly's / Austin it arrived in excellent condition that Purple Les Paul is nice........Trogly's guitar water?

[@wooferdevlin3571]

Collector problems: "This thing has screws in it, can't be Mint!!" Haha I got a key board too, still boxed; major can of worms. And the worst part of being G.A.S. -ed out, declining direct offers - something has to go. I wonder if Reverb has a "nope" list of those who decline, so won't get offers? Ü ♫

[@jefffixesit60]

The Joan Jett Melody Maker is a perfect argument for why I don't like relic'd guitars: It's supposed to look like it's been played, and my favorite collector (Trogly, of course!) is combing through these looking for a neck that doesn't look like it's been played!😅 Love the shows, carry on 😊

[@MarkEdward-bl6cr]

That's a beautiful color 👏🤘👍

[@ethanhitchcock5431]

Man what was that person smoking ( Bug Spray ? ) who chopped up the RD Bass !?...The Purple LP should be called ' The Orchid ', I love that shade of purple ( more like violet ), I also liked the Blue Strat with the Gretsch type pickups , nice top ! Thanks Trogly !

[@cheebsgod]

Can't mention a cigar but you can talk about molesting guitars lol

[@Madakalim]

Plenty of cigar channels making YT money. Cigars are not illegal provided we aren’t talking about Cubans in the states. Don’t get any of us started on that nonsense. I have 2 of those Explorer ash trays. They are great!

That Sr. Is the top dog for me. If ever I had the disposable income, that’s my dream Les Paul. In Purple, yeah.

I don’t like Joan Jett either.

If it makes you feel better , I think the bucket head guitars look ridiculous.

[@jimmyjames2022]

Much like the artist?

[@jonathanhudak2059]

I don't get the appeal of the Buckethead Les Paul's either, all white, no fret inlays and an arcade game "fire" button. To each their own but I'd rather have a nice standard if I were in the market for a Les Paul
