Was gonna say you should post the video link on your reverb/ebay pages but these sold before you posted the videos up. Should wait before you post it for sale so you can take advantage of the video work to showcase the guitars. seems a waste to do the work then not use it.
I have to say man disappointed in your tool playing. Even schism was completely wrong.... Sorry great video and beautiful guitar and I love your channel thanks for giving me a close look at my dream.
This was such a cool experience for Harley and I, pleasure meeting you and you did a great job detailing it. Glad it went to great hands! Great job on the video! Thanks for the folks who commented about my Hairy Queen shirt! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Should have never sold it period and saved it for a grandchild. I would have sent 20$ to fund your trip if ya proved it was necessary. Sorry you effed up bad but you did that earlier in life as well and at least that guy was cool. Sorry bud you pawned it. You'll regret it soon if not already.
Reaver Got mine for Christmas...I was 13 yrs old. 82 LP Custom Silverburst. My Dad worked overtime on weekends in order to pay for it. I’ll never forget the sacrifices he made for me.
Damn Brother...Im sorry but that guitar likes you. I think it wants to be yours. Channeling something there and that feedback is just intense. I think Adam was right in his assumption. Sounded wild bro.
My 82 LP Custom Silverburst still looks very much silver. Some aging, but not to the degree you see a lot of these. Stayed in case for probably 25 yrs.
I love that this is the guitar the sellers' mom bought for her son. My mom bought me an Ovation Magnum bass when I started getting really interested in playing. I took it as a vote of confidence from her-- and it meant the world to me... Until it was stolen years ago. Whenever I see one, I think of that selfless love that the gift of that guitar represented. Maybe someday I'll find another...
Do you have the original information like sales receipt or did you ever write down the serial number if that model has one. Jah Wobble of P.I.L. still plays them and I look at them every now and again. Nothing worse than the parasitic scum that is a thief, a Guitar is very personal so it's a huge violation and retribution is in order and justice should always prevail. I have had a Yamaha SG stolen back in '85-86 out of my apartment. I found out who did it. It was anole friend that got into Heroine, he had his scumbag buddy go in my house. My older brother grabbed his Gat and we got the truth out of him. Then a few years later, His '57 Gibson Les Paul Jr. that was my other brothers was stolen by another Burnout Crackhead Scumbag and I returned the favor and drove my same brother to his house and he said; Wait here and keep the Car running. He broke his arm. That guy was another Douche that I actually went to school with. Stupid F***** actually took it to Guitar Center in Azusa,CA. and got like 150.00 bucks and they took a photo of his Drivers License. So he went to Jail, and got f***** up and a broken arm for a night of Crack. I always like it when someone gets their gear back but so many times we don't. I never did. These are the facts and they are undisputed. Don't steal, and lock your gear up, and get a storage unit. Be careful who you associate with and share your info with. My good friend Dewey had a '63 Firebird and his Half-Brother stole it and pawned it for gambling money ? He never got it back. These stories are unfortunately fairly common. It's kind of sad to see an original owner have to sell his first Guitar from his mother but life throws us curve balls and you can't judge a man for having hard times and being the sole parent of multiple children. A lot of people are having a hell of a time right now with this COVID mess.
Ernest Schultz welll mu grand mother bought me mu first 1980 custom alpine white when i was 16, not the same but close, that was a 8 years ago so it was already a vintage guitar, love that old woman and still treassure that axe to this day
The Loki Files I agree. It’s rare that anyone gets a guitar like that at 10. It’s one thing to sell guitars as we go along in the journey but that isn’t just any guitar. And yeah desperate times we are in and a lot of gear comes onto the market during down times like these but somehow that one shouldn’t be one of those pieces. Could trogly sell it back to him? That would be a good news story.z
WOW! Besides the novelty of this guitar, I swear this is the best sounding Les Paul you've had on your show! At least to me it is, and that may be because I'm 55 now, and that's the tone I heard growing up. FANTASTIC! Great video.
I wonder how close to the originals they will be. The paint was a discontinued GM automobile paint. I’ve talked to the original finishers back in the day at Heritage Guitar in Kalamazoo. Not too sure if it will be the same metallic paint on the new AJ reissues or how close to feel, sound, and manufacturing they will be. Nothing beats the originals.
I think part of the reason GM discontinued that paint was due to EPA Regulations. Back in 1979 I purchased a brand new White Pearl 25th Anniversary Stratocaster. Within a year the finish turned cream colored. Fender told me that had switched to new paint in 1978 and 1979 due to stricter EPA regulations and the white pearl finish on my Stratocaster hadn't been fully sorted out yet! 7 years later Fender had me take the guitar to an Authorized Fender Repair Facility in Akron Ohio to have it refinished to factory specs with the new Anniversary Decal plastered across the front top horn of the guitar. Way to go Fender, standing behind their quality even many years after the fact. Point being the EPA must have been a huge PITA for Fender and Gibson.
Hell of a first guitar...Bought my first guitar at age 14 in 1977. A cheap $65 strat copy. My guitar teacher had a 70's white Les Paul custom, once he let me play it, I fell in love.
Fun Fact the first ever silver burst made was for Charlie Christian, it was to match the bandstands and drums the Benny Goodman orchestra was using at the time. With even the (upright) bass player having a silver burst. Apparently that version was based in the Gretsch drum finish. Christian didn't seem to like the finish, as when he left Goodman to form his own group he special ordered a natural finish guitar, and used natural finish guitars for the rest of his life. As for his silver burst it's lost. Silverburst would show up on Jazz guitars before the 70s, mostly I'd assume custom orders although pre 78 it was often listed as 'Ash Burst' which I believe is what Gretsch call it.
Wow, I've bought guitars from Apollo Music back in the late 70s too! Small World, great to hear the story with this guitar. Documenting it will allow it's story to continue. Guitar like that needs to be played.
Trogly, this was really an outstanding episode. I know they can't all be this detailed, but this was just a real joy beginning to end. Great work and thank you!
Love your show you teach us what to look for and how to inspect a guitar with out being ripped off thanks for the honesty.you the man.BEAUTIFUL GIBSON THATS A KEEPER!!$$$$$
Lol austin your older videos... youre such a goof! and that why i love it. This guitar is insanely beautiful shes a beaut. And im impressed with your playing over the years.. youre not just a historian but a player in 2023! Youre a gangster A
Well Trog...this made me keep mine. Frets are worn to a nub. Still is a bit more silver left. Had it brand new since 82. Hope to be buried with it. Thanks for bringing one bak to life.
I bought a 79 from original owner in 82 for $500. Couldn’t play so sold it and always regretted it. Bought a 1980 in 2017 from an original owner. It’s nearly perfect in condition. It sounds like buttery fuzz through the Marshall. Never letting this one go…
FANTASTIC clean up job. Couldn't believe my eyes!! 70s ALL THE WAY!! Trogly - prior to watching your videos, this was the only Les Paul sound I knew. So, you can see how you opened my eyes on the COMPLETE Les Paul sound. Thank you. This was a great video to see.
You should have thrown in a Seymour Duncan distortion to really compare it to the Jones reissue. These had 300k and .15 caps. Adam has 500k and .022. But im sure for resale value you’ll want to keep the original stuff. Just figured id let ya know!
Great Video! Like Bonamassa says, he buys the story along w the guitar while on Safari! (I like honest guys like the original owner. I raised two sons through rough times) His mom really loved him to drop $500+ in 75’.
Wear and tear has never slowed me down before. Guitars are meant to be played. The flipped controls should not scare anyone either. A fine example. Best of luck to the new owner.
What a score. The owner seemed like a good dude, also. I've bought a few guitars from good people who fell on hard times. I'll usually give them the option to buy it back when they get back on their feet. If the guitar is still available. Now I'm really excited for the Adam Jones model release!
BEAUTIFUL GUITAR!!! Wear and tear makes the guitar. I collect guitars but I play EVERYONE of them. I want one! In that finish too! One of your better guitar demos if I might add. Hammer and let that beast roar!
I bought a 2013 Epiphone LP Custom Silverburst partially because I'm a huge Tool/Adam Jones fan but also I'm just a fan of the look of the paint scheme. Quickly became my favorite because it's so smooth and easy to play.
Silver burst in one of the best colors possible for a sexy Les paul Custom well also the Black beauty Adam jones has very fine taste and also a very unique talented artist that i always respected
I've owned gibsons for 30 years and I've never used the left hand on the toggle. You are freaking me out, dude! That guitar has some soul. Not my visual cup of tea but i would keep it for sound.
Am I the only one who loved the checkings and all the other marks the make it "relic". I understant why from a business view of the guitar it's not really good but it makes the guitar special when it's not damaged.
wait, doesnt at a point a guitar being with checks and very decolored but clean is like more expensive than mint condition?talking about vintage guitars ofc
@@recipoldinasty i believe so but Trogly seems to say these checking are eyesores. I mean it's totally fine to say he doesn't like relic guitars but eyesore? It's a bit much.
I first fell in love with Silverburst when I saw a used LP Custom in a local music store in 1989. Don't know what year it was but it wasn't "swampy" yet and had $600.00 on it. I was in awe and have been ever since. SILVERBURST IS KING OF BURSTS!
My cousin has a 79 silverburst custom he bought new. It's a beautiful guitar. To this day I've yet to play a guitar that has the same vibe to it. It definitely makes a statement in sound and looks.
Very cool! I’ve got a ‘78 black beauty. That thing is pushing 12 pounds! I actually don’t play it much anymore for that and some other reasons, but I’ll never sell it because of sentimental value. I remember buying it in the early days of eBay for 1200 bucks. There were silverbursts going for about the same back then. I wish I had picked one of those up too!
That model was the first Les Paul I ever played. A friend of mine owned it, and he left it at our drummer's house. I hated it--it wouldn't stay in tune, and the tone was really muffled. The latter was mainly because I was using it with the wrong amp (an ultralinear Fender Pro Reverb). It put me off Les Pauls for several years. Fortunately I came to my senses later, and discovered some really great ones.
I can relate to all of this. I have an 81, bought brand new from Chuck Levin's with my grass-cutting money when I was 16. Pretty sure of the price, $678. Back then, when you entered Levin's and looked to your right, the first guitars along that wall were all Les Paul's, and I was lusting after one. But when I saw the Silverburst, that was IT!! Mine has more playing wear than his though. I wore completely through the neck, right down to bare wood. It has that same greenish tint and the binding has yellowed. Adam Jones said he thought the finish gave it some unique tone. I don't know about that, but it does sound amazing through a cranked Marshall! But it's a hard guitar to play. I pretty much retired it after I got a PRS Custom 24.
This was a unique opportunity! Buying from the Original Owners is always a great joy

This is how Trogly's add huge value to every guitar he documents-doing a great job at it. Great story, great guy the seller. Awesome story!

And he is also very kind hearted, love to help folks who need the money for a noble cause. Austin is a great dude

Damn Brother...Im sorry but that guitar likes you. I think it wants to be yours. Channeling something there and that feedback is just intense. I think Adam was right in his assumption. Sounded wild bro.
Silverbursts age so uniquely. I'm really not a fan until they're heavily aged, but once they're there... oooohhh momma it's a beaut.
I have two silverbursts Sonex from ‘82 that have that look and we copied it onto my Harley tank!
My 82 LP Custom Silverburst still looks very much silver. Some aging, but not to the degree you see a lot of these. Stayed in case for probably 25 yrs.
@CallMeKalashnikov The lacquer also yellows from UV so the actual clear coat will yellow with age even if the color doesn't.
That's what SHE said "

Never thought I'd hear Trogly play Tool
He plays Pantera when he demos the spark amp. Weird right
He's played Parabol before.

I bought a 2013 Epiphone LP Custom Silverburst partially because I'm a huge Tool/Adam Jones fan but also I'm just a fan of the look of the paint scheme. Quickly became my favorite because it's so smooth and easy to play.
i dont know about you guys but i believe that is a beautiful guitar
I just learned something. Being that I hate silverburst finishes on any guitar, i really love Aged Silverburst finishes.
Im to the point now where i enjoy your playing as much as the rest of the video. keep up the good work.
Holy cow that's an awesome 10th birthday present!
Silver burst in one of the best colors possible for a sexy Les paul Custom
well also the Black beauty
Adam jones has very fine taste
and also a very unique talented artist that i always respected
Love the guitar, I LOVE TOOL. Never get tired of hearing TOOL licks.
Glad I heard him play some Tool, was damn fine
This is definitely my favourite video you posted.
Awesome Trogly《☆》I miss my 79 black beauty🤓🗣🔊☮✌👍🏾
I've owned gibsons for 30 years and I've never used the left hand on the toggle. You are freaking me out, dude! That guitar has some soul. Not my visual cup of tea but i would keep it for sound.
I’m so envious that I can only click on the thumbnail and leave a comment. I’ll be back to watch after I cry in a corner 😭😂
Like an undercover "diamond" deal. I can hear the Miami Vice Theme playing in the background. Trogly is the undercover cop wired for sound.
Am I the only one who loved the checkings and all the other marks the make it "relic". I understant why from a business view of the guitar it's not really good but it makes the guitar special when it's not damaged.
wait, doesnt at a point a guitar being with checks and very decolored but clean is like more expensive than mint condition?talking about vintage guitars ofc
@@recipoldinasty i believe so but Trogly seems to say these checking are eyesores. I mean it's totally fine to say he doesn't like relic guitars but eyesore? It's a bit much.
Jeremie Cloutier agree this guitar is beautiful
Wow....what a tone...she sings. Nice wood.
Nice playing demo on this one. You should keep that guitar. It really sounded great.
I first fell in love with Silverburst when I saw a used LP Custom in a local music store in 1989. Don't know what year it was but it wasn't "swampy" yet and had $600.00 on it. I was in awe and have been ever since. SILVERBURST IS KING OF BURSTS!
I really like that guitar
My cousin has a 79 silverburst custom he bought new. It's a beautiful guitar. To this day I've yet to play a guitar that has the same vibe to it. It definitely makes a statement in sound and looks.
Very cool! I’ve got a ‘78 black beauty. That thing is pushing 12 pounds! I actually don’t play it much anymore for that and some other reasons, but I’ll never sell it because of sentimental value.
I remember buying it in the early days of eBay for 1200 bucks. There were silverbursts going for about the same back then. I wish I had picked one of those up too!
That model was the first Les Paul I ever played. A friend of mine owned it, and he left it at our drummer's house. I hated it--it wouldn't stay in tune, and the tone was really muffled. The latter was mainly because I was using it with the wrong amp (an ultralinear Fender Pro Reverb). It put me off Les Pauls for several years. Fortunately I came to my senses later, and discovered some really great ones.
Beautiful instrument with a beautiful back story - thanks for sharing!
Dude! Awesome video
Love the aged look .....my friend had one......
Trog don't sell it keep it brother
Fantastic restoration!! So great to see an original silverburst and even better to see the care you took with this guitar. Well done!
Great back story Austin. You did him and the guitar proud. Looks and sounds fantastic! Keep it.
The silverburst is my favorite LP finish ever, with the string winder tuners from the 80's.
thats amazing, so classy and evil. like a vampire. love the green.
My gosh that guitar looks amazing!!!! And at 42 years old.
I can relate to all of this. I have an 81, bought brand new from Chuck Levin's with my grass-cutting money when I was 16. Pretty sure of the price, $678. Back then, when you entered Levin's and looked to your right, the first guitars along that wall were all Les Paul's, and I was lusting after one. But when I saw the Silverburst, that was IT!! Mine has more playing wear than his though. I wore completely through the neck, right down to bare wood. It has that same greenish tint and the binding has yellowed. Adam Jones said he thought the finish gave it some unique tone. I don't know about that, but it does sound amazing through a cranked Marshall! But it's a hard guitar to play. I pretty much retired it after I got a PRS Custom 24.
Man that's beautiful, and congrats dad on your daughter joining the Navy!
Gotta love the trog man. I'm nt even a Gibson fan but I love troglys channel. There's an art to documenting guitars and trogly has mastered it.
This is my favorite Les Paul besides the '63 Les Paul "SG" in white
