I walked into my local GC and there on the wall is a new SG Custom that 6 months ago was $5,999 reduced to $3,499! $2500 off! Needless to say it’s home with me now!😂
NICE!
🤟enjoy, great find!
I also purchased a 1952 Les Paul for around $200. But, .... it was in the early 1970's, it was poorly refinished, carved out for humbuckers, and it was just an old guitar. Once I realized it was a 1952, I had it expertly refinished in a sunburst, refretted, and installed a stopbar tailpiece. Recently I installed Throback pickups to complete the restoration.
I dig that 58, but for 75 grand I’d rather have a sports car lol.
I’d rather have the money!
@@lindahartman4543 I’d agree to that
It’s going to sit for years.
Yeah, get a new black Corvette
and put fancy gold pin stripping all over it.
@@gordonanderson3111 It’s funny, that was the car I had in mind. I’d prefer a red one though 🤟🏻
Glad you got to look at that $200 Les Paul post…!
The 62 SG probably was left in a hot car and the hide glue loosened up at the neck heel
Same thing happened to a former bandmate of mine in St. Louis back in the 90s. SGs have that reputation.
Joe Bonnamassa will grab it.
A great tale on how to drum up views - get the internet talking about your estate/garage/barn sale find! Thanks for the episode Trogly!
So that's what the red-eye tag says on it
The new reissue is a bit different but there are two. Check it out here czcams.com/video/gearjPHlasY/video.html
The Les Paul is what I love the most, but I've never been able to accept the looks of a three pickup.
Too crowded.
Hmmm I dunno…I’m all for THAT sound and tone of Keef doing Sympathy For The Devil ….
Agreed
Looks aside it’s just worse to play and a useless invention the way the electronics were implemented back then. I actually like the looks tho 😂
Julius Ceasar signature Custom:)
That looks like an early 70s reissue. Call George Gruhn in Nashville and let him look at it. Trog is no vintage expert.
I love the True Vintage Guitar channel...he gets some really great guitars with stories along with them. Bonamassa always says he is buying the backstory more than the guitar.
Joe has bought a few guitars from TVG
The fact that you know so much about guitars, even down to the last tiny detail of a random case for an SG is insane.
Psssht 50s Les Paul???? I just found an '81 Hondo LP copy in an attic.
With 3PU Customs, is it more common for the middle pickup screw-poles to be nearer the neck (as I thought) or the bridge … ?
Coming from Gibson, I mean … Anything goes in the real world, for various reasons, I take it: eg, og Gibson zebras mostly seemed to have the screw-poles in the black bobbin and orientated on the ‘outsides’ of the cavities (ie with the creme of each on the ‘inside’, thus as near to each other as possible). Seymour Duncan zebras & reverse zebras have the poles on the opposite colored bobbins from the og Gibson arrangement (maybe just to confuse everybody … but I would guess, more likely to reduce the chances of Gibson suing them, especially when they first started producing them … ?! 🤷🏻♂️).
Trogly, not sure if you’ve already talked about this, but an episode on pickup (humbucker) orientations etc would be interesting, I think … 🤔 🤷🏻♂️
Regardless, I still prefer my Gibson SG over my PRS SE's - PRS SE's are fab but they just lack the mojo of the Gibson and that is priceless :D
Thanks Trogly! Great stuff in the video and congrats to that guy for snagging a real ‘52 Goldtop at a yard sale. My yard sale finds have been much more expensive lately.
Were there only ever Block Vibrolas, Maestro Vibrolas, Sideways Vibrolas and Bigsby Vibrolas that were put on SGs (and just Bigsbys on Les Pauls?! - aside from Les’ own custom vibrola job on nis personal ‘52 … ?) .. 🤔
There's a '1952 Les Paul Gold Top' at Arbutus Music in BC Canada for $31k(CAD), and it has a Standard headstock and weird heel. Seems like replaced neck to me.
$200 50's Les Paul wouldn't seem that unrealistic at all in a certain scenario (when the owner is clueless).
When Bonamassa bought his "Trash Bag 58' Flying V" the owner lady didn't know what it was and was apparently ready to sell it for couple hundred bucks (she ended up getting $150k or something like that).
That art looks great❤
I have questions about the Gibson 150, are they new? I see them for 1300… fully hollow, no f holes…
I once bought a 50's Les Paul Jr. at a flea market in the mid 80's for $3.00. Yes, that's "three" dollars and that's what the seller had on the price sticker. Beat up pretty good and had a crack in the headstock but after the easy repair it was an amazing guitar.
I feel like saluting the LP Custom.
I scored an original 1964 Fender Deluxe Reverb for $200 so the deals are out there.
They are GUITARS, not furniture, not art, the magic is how they sound. I can’t believe these ridiculous prices and all these guitars that might be the best players are in a case.
Yes… You could just as well say all stamps should be used for postage. Collecting stuff as a thing. And I do think that you’re right. The general sentiment from players is that these are instruments that should be played and enjoyed and make beautiful music for other people to enjoy. The thing is, there’s so many guitars out there that having a few of them be collectibles perfectly fine.
Would Trogly ever review a gretch penguin 🐧
Not sure but I think he did a couple months ago

I remember getting a S1 for $300.
✌
Glad to be back here. I come and go. But every time i come back, i remember why. Great channel!
Welcome back!
I had exactly the same thoughts on the 52 LP. No doubts on its authenticity, but think the reddit post was to create some buzz and hopefully lead to a bidding war when he puts it up for sale in the near future.
Hope to hear you comment real soon on that Gibson vs. Dean lawsuit update \m/ KDH beating you to the punch on latest Gibson news
Drama is his thing - I might briefly mention it in a hunting episode but have no interest in a full upload
@@Trog Drama, huh? For someone who loves talking all the latest Gibson news, you don't seem too interested in covering it when it counts, such as the guitar industry changing forever potentially after this ruling... \m/
I’ve got to be honest. If you find a crazy bargain like that, you really need to be straight with the owner and make sure they get their cut.
As if.
@@ChrisShortyAllen ripping someone off who doesn’t know what it is they’ve got isn’t a great look. Not good for the karma, either.
I see both arguments. I really put the blame on the seller for not doing the research before offering the item for sale. Nobody forced them to do that.
@@TylerJohnstonGuitarDon't give it too much thought, these commentors are just virtue signalling over what is most likely a fake story
At the end of the day, we all have the same information available in the palm of our hands. If I know and you don't, it isn't my fault. Always be the smartest guy in the room. My local paw shop guy is cool and cuts me deals on stuff that needs work. He sees a broken string or a bad setup as a reason to just get what he can and move on. He makes a little. Most times I triple my money from cleaning a guitar up and making it playable. He's glad to be rid of it and is happy to have made a profit. I give him asking price and flip it. Sure it's not 200$ for a 35000$+ flip but if it was, they had the same info available as I do. I tell him all the time he could double his money if he just did a 20 minute set up and some new strings. He doesn't have time for it. Well, I do. I'm not screwing someone over this day in age if they get what they ask. Doesn't matter to me if they didn't want more. The sellers remorse comes from lack of investigation. It's not because I beat em down on price.
Which is the best chainsaw case?
Gen 2 - the 3 plastic latch version
@@Trog Thank you!
i can palm mute any guitar. vibrola works fine.
Under the pickguard they painted a weener
Folk art Les Paul!
Surprised you aren’t hating on this one because the paint compounds did not originate from a Gibson factory.
I remember when those were $ 1,000-1,500 and nobody wanted them.
Only trogly would think of removing the paint off that Custom…
Yeah, $200 in 1952 money, that’s about $2375 today… still a good deal.
I think if he sales guitar the person at yard sale gets half
Why would I care if someone found a screaming deal on a Les Paul if it wasn't me?
I mean, good for him, but I honestly don't care. Why? Because it wasn't Me!
p.s. If it was me, you wouldn't know.
Look at those beautiful flat pickup covers. Why do Gibson (and everyone else, frankly) refuse to get them right for reissues? Or are they saving it for the 177th anniversary Reissues?
I like em old
Someone talked shit on you in the comments and I wanted to defend you but decided not to. Lol. People are HATIN out here!
I saw this post yesterday. Pretty wild either way. Cool find either way.
I have to admit to not being a fan of "artwork" on guitars.
Amazing how much people will pay for old wood
As wood ages/drys out it stabilizes considerably. An old maple neck will be much stiffer than a new one. (Unless they roast it, since that process makes it like an old neck, but with a tan. 😂)
Ridiculous prices. A fool and his money...
Evening Troglodytes!!
Fake news Gibson?
But will it work?
$200 for a ‘52 Goldtop? I call bulls**t. Anything to drive clicks.
:-)
Yahoo
addicted to your curves and vids. cant stop watching.
You can only have 100 percent. “PerCENT”, cent-ury “%”even has “100” in the symbol.
Sorry to be a language cop, but it will make you sound more intelligent if you speak correctly. Take care.
Butter 🧈🧈🧈 Butter
That first guitar is just fugly. Seriously, that paint job is hideous.
Woah I got here 16 seconds after uploading
Z is for late.
Zee or Zed?
What does this mean?
@@IPlayGuitarAndStuff Stick around a while… You’ll never figure out exactly what it means. But you’ll just get used to it. He’s a regular.
@@IPlayGuitarAndStuff I'm guessing it's to do with catching zzzzz's and thereby missing the dropping of videos.
Just a sleepy old geezer who's into guitars, especially sg's. 🥱😊
@@johnnyxmusic Got to be zed; it's our language!
College education? A colossal waste of time and money, and you'll come out dumber than you started.
Depends on the field of study
A very uneducated response,.. almost a bit cultish. Believe what you are told.
