I have had terrible luck with UPS. Not sure why so much stuff is damaged or lost but I have had to move all of my guitar shipping to FedEx. Famous last words:)
Golly look at that fretboard on that 25/50 , love those inlays , also love the Moonless Night LP ( reminds me of the Silvertone Guitars with the black w/sparkles ) Thanks Trogly !
A guitar can literally be smashed into 14 jagged pieces and all the dudebros online will fall all over themselves trying to be the first to tell you how "easy" of a repair it is 😆
@@ChrisShortyAllen I was obviously being conversational. But if you want a couple real world examples, Jaco Pastorius' bass was completely shattered into more than 10 pieces and it was stuck back together. Gary Moore had to have Greeny rebuilt after it was smashed in the trunk of his car after getting rear-ended in traffic. Wasn't easy and I'm sure it wasn't cheap, but both of them got fixed after being very extremely broken.
I ordered a BOSS loop pedal a day or two ago. I got one of my favorite guitars from Sweetwater years ago. It was a return and it just fit with me. I'm still satisfied with it after all these years... at least fifteen or more.
Really enjoyed this episode with all the “behind the scenes” info. How about a “day in the life”- do you have different routines depending on the day, or do you do a bunch and sort it in editing? You continue to be my most consistently watched RU-vid channel, really appreciate it! Cheers!
Wow that moonless night has really made the rounds.. I just traded it to the person who sold it to you about 3 weeks ago... got some play wear in that time as well.
It can never be restored to original because the original holes were reamed larger by the new oversized screw. Many times you’ll be left with a larger impression from the larger strap button too. You’d have to fill, redrill and live with that if restored. I prefer examples that have no stories because someone will have to sell my collection for me some day and itll be a lot easier for them this way. Most buyers won’t care but between the two moonless I have, I’ll stick with my first one
Salutations Austin! Very nice Les Paul’s, the 25/50 has a lot of movement in the woodgrain, I suspect it will sound great, I also like the Moonless Night Les Paul Custom, the extremely light sprinkling of glitter flakes looks very tasteful, I am sure it sounds great too. It’s too bad the ESP Explorer was damaged in shipping, but I think it could be repaired fairly easily by a competent technician, unfortunately I couldn’t access your website from the video link, but I will try finding your website through other means, to check out your current selections. Thanks for sharing! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸
He sells mostly. There are some videos of all he has, he does an end of a year video showing all that he has. He only keeps some guitars for his collection, not all.
Seems weird that a 2018 LP Custom has richlite but my (much cheaper) 2018 SG Special has rosewood. Why not throw rosewood on when they couldn't get ebony with richlite being so controversial. Glad the UPSucks necks were repairable.
Ever since getting my LP Special Raven, I actually like Richlite. Nice and smooth feeling similar to ebony. We'll see how it stands the test of time though..
Thanks to see that all those broken ones were able to be fixed and found new homes and new life but that 2550 is beautiful. It speaks to me. I’ll have to about that one Trogly that is beautiful if it plays as good as it looks, we will talk about that one. Very nice.
The 25/50's usually have an underwhelming top. But it seems that a majority of them look liked they were played/gigged on a nightly basis. Was there something unique about them that made them great playing guitars?
You should start selling leather tooled artisan crafted straps. There are a lot of USA artisans that can work leather like it's nothing. Those would FLY of the shelf. Just show a different strap with every Gibson you polish up.
I've shipped a lot of guitars and have only had a handful of issues. Service varies around the country, but I still prefer them over the other carriers in my area
@@Trog They trashed my mesa Mk2C++ .. shipped / packed PROPERLY and fully insured for 10k USD. They strung me along for 6 MONTHS, having me jump through hoops, only to not pay out the claim on their bogus decision. Fun fact - You can't even speak to a UPS claims department agent, only email. BTW . . haven't I heard you say that you have a 'special' account with them? One that means they pay out claims 'easily'?
