Hey Trogly…why not a “blown apart” The Les Paul display? You’ve got almost everything required to do a display like that…..

I bet those two large holes in the neck are indexing holes to line up the pin router.

Wow...that neck blew me away...was not expecting that lol..that's really special man...very cool score on all of it...

That neck looks like it is a _literal_ BFG neck! (Barely finished guitar) 😂

the Pelham Blue made me laugh out loud

The natural finished The Les Paul is basically the perfect looking guitar. If I were to make my own it would look almost identical to a the les paul.

I have never seen the pearl keystones wow kool find 🤘

Excellent. Your passion is appreciated!

Very cool Les Paul history lesson. Thank you for sharing.

This stuff couldn’t have gone to a better guy. I don’t think I even blinked watching this episode. And I love the wine red and that Steve Howe one is wow !! Amazing stuff today !!

Roger Fisher (one of Heart’s founding members and their original lead guitarist) played this model on tour with the band in 1978. Awesome sounding guitarist & guitar! Wow! 🎸⚡🔥

No one more deserving to have these goodies in the museum collection ' well done Trogly '

Start a worldwide search and find that SG with the TLP veneer.

I love how excited Trogly gets here! Really cool stuff and thanks for sharing!

It’s a favorite niche topic of mine. I don’t get tired of looking at TLP’s.

So when are we getting this museum? It's been years now.

I never knew or would have thought the extra screw was through a leg! I figured it was there to anchor the ring because (maybe??) the wood needed it. WOW!

Perfect for your next Partscaster 😂

I'm not a hard core Gibson fanboy by any stretch, but I just spent a good 15 minutes of my day sharing in your excitement. Darn you, Trog. . .

Those are the most beautiful tuners I’ve ever seen🥹 I want to put a set of those on my Gibson Les Paul Custom 57 reissue. It would be soooo beautiful and they would pop out sooooo much😮‍💨 Sadly I can’t find ANYTHING alike those tuners. Not even fake once. Might buy some mother of pearl material to make my own set of Stonekey Tuners from a pair of grovers. Beautiful stuff you got there man!

Wow!! What a great find!! 😍

Me when I saw the title: Oh sweet, probably a cool guitar. Austin: I got a NOS nut and fancy tuners! 😂

I have pearl or pearloid on an 85 Studio Standard - assuming pearloid

One of my favorite episodes, Trogly!

Trogley, I’m pretty sure the wooden The Les Paul knobs came from my plug collection for my ears from about 15 years ago when I had my ears stretched way out big haha 😆

Hurry up with the museum already!!! Please and thanks

the dude is more careful with a tuner/machine-head then he was with the ed king burst. noice!

Quiet the score!! I'm happy for you. Somebody's gotta get this stuff, and you show it off, so... thank you!

The gloves gave me a chuckle

The Schaller box you have is later, as it says Made in Germany rather than Made in W. Germany. Schaller changed in 1992 but used up old stock.

Good luck in finding more goodies!

Love these guitar obsessions!

Your museum is gonna rock!

Great show.

Trogly, are you interested in a NOS L5 Wes Montgomery gold tailpiece ? I have one that I got from Gibson to replace the one on my L5, but I kept the original tailpiece .

You know what, it would be a real joy to use those parts in a guitar mod Project lol

You should place the parts and neck into a counter top and fill with resin to keep them safe so cool man. 😂😂😂😂 great channel and very informative keep it up.

Thank you for doing this for us Trogly! Couldn't have been cheap to put together. Those keystone tuners are amazing looking.

the natural the les pauls are just, wow, out of this world

Wow…what a treasure! Makes you wonder what other ‘rejects’ are floating around. Thanks for sharing.

That was pretty cool to see !!

Damn…..those are some cool parts for those. This model was so nice 👍

You have to hunt down the SG with the veneer.

I love how passionate you are with the Les Paul guitar. I'd love to visit your museum someday.

Very Cool. Love stuff like this

Great episode.

In my opinion the best looking lespaul after that one The Paul I once saw with the most insane walnut wood grain and a big ole bigsby 😊

Now this is content I love!

Call Joe Bonamassa. He probably has several of those headstock veneers and the other parts you’re needing to complete your collection. 😅

Why did they dropped the velute ? Doesn't it make the neck a lot resistant and of course beautiful.

That fretboard and binding is a great example showing why their boards can't be put on the swing sander leaving the tooling marks behind.

i'm not a les paul guy but i'd for sure LOVE to own a "The Les Paul". the wood binding everywhere and necks are just beautiful!!!!

Wow Austin, what an amazing find so glad that you were the one to get that stuff. That’s absolutely incredible. Who knows maybe you’ll find the other pieces one day that’s absolutely outstanding happy for you. Thank you for sharing. That. Absolutely amazing.

Well these guitars only appeal to a small group im sure. im not one of those but im glad you got some thing you like fore sure. same for the parts. all out of my price range or want range. enjoy!

The machine heads are cool!

Hi Austin...Included in that estate sale there was a schematic of the prehistoric 1982 30th Anniversary LP Goldtop...Id love to be able to buy and frame that since I own one of those guitars...Do you think Eric might own it or be able to help me track it down? Thanks for any help or suggestions

Cool video Trogly! I love niche topics.

Far out idea would be to use one of those raw Gibson 'flag body' units to make a hybrid.

That C stamp on the neck heel, could have been a grade, so maybe they rejected it and only used A and B stamped necks?

The neck is pretty cool

The tempco (temperature coefficient ) of your meter is probably higher (a high tempco is a bad thing) then that of the pick-up. Besides that this meter does not have good specs or stability over time. It will probably on paper be something like 3 to 5% in real worse. The last digit does not say much because there is were the uncertainty is) We only use that to see if something is drifting up or down) It is called in my world (electronic measurement and calibration gear) a toy meter. To state it in guitar terms: your meter is a not great build Chibson, :-) I just tried the tempco, I need to heat up the pickup a lot (+30 degrees or so) to see some change and that change was something like 10 ohm . You often measure both pick-ups just for fun. What you measure is the 2 pickups in parallel. If you measure both separate you already know the "both" resistance. Rtotal=((R1+R2)/(R1*R2)) but it is a nice check to test if the switch is good.

Great episode, I really enjoyed it.

great show. thanks trog

This one is EXTRA COOL!

Im sure them speed knobs would look great on the Dirty Cherry Burst that i bought after watching a guitar hunting episode in January. But i dont know if i can afford them right now

Yeah man, brilliant finds!❤

Nice find!❤

Les Paul jr's,TV etc are never to have gold hdwr....wtf

Nice episode Trogly thank you for sharing your find. I sure your glad you made the call.

Wow, awesome, historic Kalamazoo The Les Paul parts, great find! Glad to see you using gloves on these, I hope you'll use gloves on the paper archival items you obtain as well.

You should contact Roger Fisher of heart. (BREATHE). He famously smashed his The Les Paul, which led to him getting fired from the band. Maybe he still has the parts lying around

I love ephemera 🤗

That neck and I share a birthday! Well... I'm 2 years older.

Great find Trogly !!

Hey Trogly, have you noticed that Mike Dirnt’s been pulling out a silver burst Epiphone G3? Think they’re going to be releasing it as a signature soon? How much you think that’s gonna go for?

It would be cool to have a display case of parts like these like how some people have those glass displays of civil war relics 😎

Crazy cool find, Trogly!

Pretty dang cool dude!

Wow! You should use these parts to build a NOS The Les Paul.

❤it that made my day thanks build one of a kind guitars from history Wicked

This was a great vid!

great video!

Oh dear, the gloves again....

Great find my friend. 🤘

These are my fav episodes sooooo many possibilities. It would be cool if Murphy lads built it for you

Thank you for bringing us these pieces of history! 😊🎸

Beautiful Guitars Austin!😎👍 Gibson Gold! Good video too.😎🤘⭐️⭐️🕊🦋🕊🙏✌️🎉🇺🇸🌅

Great stuff!

The gloves are a bit much you think?

Fun fact: Jean-Claude Van Damme's character's name in the motion picture masterpiece Cyborg is Gibson Rickenbacker.

Did Trogly do a review of the natural finish The Les Paul? If so, it's obviously very hard to find.

You know you could just drop Gibson and start buying Heritage instead. Literally 100% Kalamazoo history.

The Les Paul is a gaudy, over fancy, tasteless freak. A Les Paul Standard is elegant, classy, totally functional, Like a Gibson should be .

So awesome

I'm guessing this all came from Pete Morenos shop?

I love asking people out of context if they are a troglodyte.

Say I came up with 50k that I want to invest in Gibson guitars. What should buy hold on to it for 10-20 years Then sell it

In my opinion, the best Les Paul ever made.

It wouldn’t surprise me if most of the leftover bodies wound up as employee guitars.

That neck was made, only 7 days after Elvis died.
