I LOVE my 25/50 ! I bought this guitar new in March of 1979 from E.U. Wurlitzer's in Boston, MA. Beautiful feel, great sustain. Heavy like a brick though!!! S.O.B.'s kept my belt buckle! I didn't know any better, I was only 18 at the time.
@@joermnyc I think the point being made is that 3,400 would be an estimate. 3,411 is an exact number (with zero digits of 'roughness') and therefore, not an estimate. 😁
That brown switch cover might be correct. Idk when they started with that but i had an 80 Kalamazoo made and it had brown, as did the KM. It might be different from the control caviry plate because they didnt use the normal LP plate.
beautiful guitar, im sure very expensive. when i buy a guitar les pauls especially i buy them to play not hang them on the wall. these guitar would look much better with blonde plastics than black.
I think the TP6 tailpiece looks really good. Always love Les Paul customs. But these special ones, especially with the inlays, are really beautiful guitars.
I played one of these tears ago, and loved it, but when I came across it I was not able to afford it But if I could have afforded it, it would have come home with me. It was the best guitar I had played at that time, and one of the best ever On the other hand, if I had bought it I likely wouldn’t have my Iceman or Mustang, and I love those two as well, so it worked out okay But if anyone feels inclined to gift me one, well I would not refuse it
Fine tuning in the tailpiece was actually invented back in 1919, over a hundred years ago, on violins. So giving Floyd Rose/Kahler credit for them isn't quite correct 😊
@Trogly...I have a March of 1978 version of this model, tobacco sunburst as well. May I ask...what did yours self for? I looked on your website but it isn't there, so it must have sold...? I'm thinking of selling mine, and interested in knowing a recent sales value. Thanks in advance. :)
Are there any manufacturers that make keystone tuner buttons that look like the ones on Gibsons from the 70s into the late 80s? These tuner buttons are rounded on the top edge where the screw head is located, whereas most modern day keystones have a flat edge where the screw head sits. It's a nitpicky detail but I've looked for a long while for anyone that makes the old style keystone buttons without any luck.
Either the pickup is hot or too high that it overdriven the amp even on clean settings. I always love this model because it was birth in my birth year, 1978
Well neck and middle position sound pretty crappy. Even though you adjusted it, it still sounds pretty muddled. I know you won’t have any trouble selling it because it’s a very beautiful instrument.
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaa….. id be afraid to drop it or something………. I dont want a guitar im afraid to play…. If its too good to get a ding its too expensive for me….
@@johnm3946 my guitar budget is about 2k…. After that you aren’t really paying for more playability……. Just bling and other shit…. 2k is the point of diminishing return…. IMO of course….
Trogly, i took a few months off and i swear, your playing seems to have gotten a lot better in a short time!! Not like you needed improvement...🙂 Just fyi. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!
Personally I believe they word vintage has been overused to the point that some believe they're getting an actual vintage guitar instead of what is in effect a reissue or tribute. O get that many or finished on a vintage style but it doesn't make it vintage in the true sense of the word.
Technically, anything over 20 years old is considered vintage. We tend to think any guitar over 25 years old is truly vintage. A 40+ year old guitar would definitely qualify as vintage by any standards.
@Trog I know, but nothing beats a ," failure" ,but a,"try" Peace man love your show. Maybe u can showcase my collection one day. I have all sg's including a brand new double neck. Oooh I have the one 335 without the eff holes. I believe u have the same one with the outerspace paint job. I'm in the Midwest also. Peace
Ah, you dog you. I have always wanted one of those. I want to hit you up for a guitar once a certain something goes through. Shouldn't be much longer, couple two three months. I will figure out how to contact you then. I already have a few Gibsons, owned by me for a long time, but I want a new toy. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
I don’t think that this guitar is more beautiful than a custom one; a custom one looks more harmonious and attractive. This anniversary guitar looks like a guitar from some maker, not a factory one, you look at it and think "there's something wrong with this guitar." As for the sound, it's great
Guitar Whisperer!! If there was one, Trogly would be it. Which leads me to the Sustain Sisters; what is the most resonant part of the guitar? While we meditate on that, there has to be a way to raise/lower pups while playing, no screwdriver. Anyway, good luck on the other colors. ♫ Ü
Must be one heck of a guitar you're buying to part with this one. It's quite a guitar...very few in this condition. I'll look forward to seeing whatever it is.
No, there were multiple variations back then. I forget how many and how they were named. These ones are definitely the higher output version! I own a modified The Paul with an early 80s Tarback and it matches quite well with the original T-top.
I LOVE my 25/50 !

Bought my first guitar from Wurlitzer in Worcester, MA in 1986. Nice!
Nobody uses a contour gauge on their guitar but just about everyone uses a capo, which I'm guessing is what caused the mark on the neck.☺☺☺
I had a wine red one. My first LP. Cost almost 1500 back then. My son has it now.
are the polepieces still adjustable with the coating on the back?
Beautiful-looking instrument. Wasn't crazy about how the pickups sounded. The punishing weight would be an issue even if I could afford it.
One of my favorite Les Pauls ever!
That’s a fancy beast of an instrument. Bridge looks cool, neck looks very impressive.
Very tasteful. The sound samples (done against a green screen) with samples of the guitar behind it. Well well done.
It was so muddy before you lowered it. But dirty, it's a beast.
I love the line about them making roughly 3,411 of them. That seems like a pretty specific number to be a rough number. I love your videos by the way!
There’s no evidence those ledgers are 100% accurate though, so it’s best to just estimate.
@@joermnyc I think the point being made is that 3,400 would be an estimate. 3,411 is an exact number (with zero digits of 'roughness') and therefore, not an estimate. 😁
I got a 1974 LPC and put on the TP-6 bridge and drilled a Kahler nut onto it, its amazing at staying in tune finally

It's funny how his guitars are always worth more then yours. Yours is only worth its true value when it's in his hands. A true flipper.
Stunning and sounds amazing
I like how hot these pickups sound! Will be great for heavier stuff :)
oooph, that neck pickup, sweeeet, i love the subdued sound.
The 25/50 Les Paul is a very cool vintage Les Paul. I'd love to have one of these in Ebony.
What a nice, figured neck!
I think the TP6 tailpiece looks really good. Always love Les Paul customs. But these special ones, especially with the inlays, are really beautiful guitars.
That's a nice guitar, wish they looked like this today 😍
Good evening from Venice Beach California Troglydites!!
Nice to see the belt buckle I sold you! I didn't take a bite out of it either😁
Unrelated to the video but how much is a Epiphone Les Paul Snakepit and a Gibson SG Angus Young in ebony worth?
Such a beautiful piece of wood!
The Ebony fretboard with the inlays just give it that extra pop! I need to win the lottery to get more guitars. lol. This one is really nice.
I would love to see the room/warehouse where Gibson stored all of these "new old stock" guitars and wood that persist in the rumor mill?

I cant imagine what you are going to buy if you are planning a year.
0riginal '59 burst
Squier Bullet Stratocaster 🔥🔥 Greatest instrument of all time, hands down. I’ve been trying to save up for one for years 😢
@@TylerJohnstonGuitarhe could probably buy ten Squire bullet strats for the value of that 25/50
@@clarkbabin9799 At least 😂 Back when I lived in Tucson I saw them go locally for as little as 40 bucks.
@@TylerJohnstonGuitar I bought a bullet strat a couple years back and it wasn't but a few hundred with a hard case.
Holy crap thats pretty :)
I want a 71 plain top cherry sun burst delux with humbuckers

I love the coil spits my LP. They're alnico2 but hotter than PAFs so more like 490r/498t. Sound kinda like p90s when split.
Either the pickup is hot or too high that it overdriven the amp even on clean settings.
I always love this model because it was birth in my birth year, 1978
Sounds Good.
Woouu ,the neck is beautiful !!!
Nice Gibson !
In my opinion all Gibson guitars should have a volute
man that is beautiful
I'm not impressed with the pickups and tap,or the ten pounds weight,think I would rather have a regular costom.
Les paul Artists are build allmost the same they just have a huge route and a body contour
Even with a brass nut sounds too dark. Not a contender for The Pretender’s Up the Neck.
I can not afford it but I surly do want it. But being born in 78 I know I need to get one soon.
4 Gibsons. Two have TP-6 - Two do not. I reach for it on all of them and i sorely miss it on the two that dont. 😒
I got a 52'
Sounds good cranked .

@@davidtiekstra860 the actual thing is at least 25 -49 years classic 50 to 99 vintage 100 and up antique.
My whole point is new guitars are bring sold as vintage. I heard to many people say they bought a vintage and not brand or model that was brand new.
I'm more interested in what you plan on buying with the sale of this baby.
As long as it's guitar related.
Probably a new swimming pool
Waiting for you to sell the eagle sg. I'm in...
I don't plan on letting that one go haha

Hey, Trogly’s. how old are you?
I gotta know what guitar Trogly needs months to save up for.
Getting a real snakepit?
Btw, don't sell that guitar. It looks awesome with your black shirt!!! When you become a rock star you're going to want to be rocking that guitar.
What are you planning on buying Trogly?
25/50……again😩

At what?
Were Tarbacks all that hot?
No, there were multiple variations back then. I forget how many and how they were named. These ones are definitely the higher output version! I own a modified The Paul with an early 80s Tarback and it matches quite well with the original T-top.
