Interesting to note about that bridge pickup. The winds must be about half that of the neck pickup but still sounds pretty good. It would give you a ton of head room for a wicked clean sound

There’s a supposed 2007 r0 (serial number 0 xxxx) cherry sunburst with heavy wear and checking and fogged up hardware for $4495 at a shop near me. Not sure if the aging is factory but it looks on par with the current Murphy aging. Plays and sounds fantastic and comes with an Anvil road case. Tempting…

That finish will always give me ominous shades of Tommy Shaw from the late 70s in Styx, the character played by Lea Thompson in Howard the Duck and the on-screen depiction of Steve Clark in the made-for-VH1 film Hysteria: the Def Leppard Story.

That’s not what I was expecting as well. I was expecting a 2007 Gibson USA - like my breathtakingly beautiful and super-sexy - AA Flamed Maple Top - Heritage Cherry Sunburst - Gibson Les Paul Standard, with Gold Top Hat Control Knobs. I also own a totally awesome 1998 Gibson - Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Standard Plain Top - with factory-installed, Nickel-Plated, Grover Rotomatics - and what I suspect is a lighter-in-colour - Honduran Rosewood Fretboard. 🎊🍒🌄🎸🌇🥂✨

At least they scammed with Gibson pickups. Can’t remember the full story because it was 30 years ago but a guy came into the local guitar shop looking to sell something he bought and yeah the really rare expensive pickups it was supposed to have were replaced with brand x junk!! He was livid and tried to blame the store tech Mike (son of the owner) and the people in the shop that knew Mike immediately defended him and almost tossed the guy out the door.

@zaccarter3801 Ай бұрын

The only thing that every owner should do is make sure they keep the COA. I will never buy a custom shop without a COA.

@jensoncremasco3352 Ай бұрын

I mean does it really worry you on a players grade instrument?, you can still tell preety easily if its a legitimate custom shop Gibson without it

@zaccarter3801 Ай бұрын

@@jensoncremasco3352 considering this will post for $4k+, yeah it matters. Most player grade CS guitars still have the COA regardless of their condition. I would completely avoid a CS with no COA. Only case candy that really matters. Probably the most common sense item to keep with a luxury item. Tons of other player grades you can get CS or not that will save you money. An R9 with no COA should not be anywhere near the same price of an R9 with one. You can say it’s not the big of a deal, but it’s a buyer’s market and many buyers will completely avoid a CS guitar without a CoA. I’d tell anyone to just get a wildwood standard over a custom shop with no CoA. I get that it’s not what people are mainly buying but it’s a pride thing for splurging on a Custom. Also, like mentioned, no excuse to not include it. It shouldn’t be anywhere else than in the guitar case or somewhere the owner can remember so that they can include it in a sale. Arguably more important than the OHSC since you can buy lifton cases from Gibson that have no distinguishable difference than the one the reissue came with.

I’d almost say that they are equals.

Would love to see that top in person. Its pretty active watching on my TV. Well dont you have a set of Tim Shaws in your stock? Just saying. I wouldnt try it on something that im putting back on just in case but scrubbing bubbles for fiberglass and plasics cleans pretty well. Maybe try that on something you don't care if it does get damaged first.

My favorite reissue, with all the rock stars buying up the r9s they are getting hard to find nice clean originals. That's if you can afford to buy them and just find the ones that are worth buying. I find alot of junks out there that people think they have a gold mine that they are trying to sell and sit on them and ask ridiculous prices for some junk that's not worth crap. But that is the thrill of the hunt. Thanx Trogly another good episode. Happy hunting and playing and paying for this disease. Take care I got that from you bud.....

9:05 quote “pretty gnarly stand rash” Did you mean to say that it was a pretty gnarly aniline dye bleed thru from bing hung in the same stand as a cherry back aniline dyed R8 or R9 reissue? I usually think of rash as being a disruption of the finish by abrasion or impact. The rash causing some distortion or loss of the physical finish. What is displayed in the video appears to be a red stain that was absorbed into the neck of the guitar. This staining is what often happens when a cherry back historic reissue R8 or R9 is stored in the same place as this guitar for instance. This is why you should never buy used guitar stands with black instrument contact material. Thank you for clarification.

Only here in the far-flung future is the genius of Trogley clear: Kudos to the number one salesman at Gibson, and the numero uno provider of 'Les Paul porn", (three words that have probably never appeared together in print before). Apropos of nothing, if I were high in the ranks at Gibson I would be lobbying to create our first $100,000 instrument, which will sell out in a New York minute and be flipped for more in the aftermarket, and which I have no doubt they are busy at work on, limited to say 100 units or so, gross income ten million which is a piss in the bucket for them but will facilitate the sale of countless other, lesser instruments such as sub-three thousand dollar Standards and even cheaper Juniors and SG's, which are their bread and butter.
