    Wow Trogly thank you for telling us about Don Greenwald. That's a name I won't forget but never heard it on your channel. Small guitar world.
    I bought a 59 es 335 from Don in the early 2000s. At that time I was a student and didn't have a lot of money but really wanted the guitar. Don gave me a great price and even helped me with the duty costs for getting it to Canada. He sent me some photos of headless guitars and an ad from a magazine if I remember correctly. I think I still have them at my parents' house.
    I wish I still had the guitar but I stupidly sold it a few years later. It had the perfect neck profile for me that I'm still looking for and is the benchmark for any Gibson I may buy to this day. Occasionally I would email him if I saw something headless that I thought he might like.
    He was a class act and a guitar ambassador. RIP Don, thanks Trogly.

    You know Austin- when you showed off Steve Howe's LP, I was jazzed by you being the one person to do business with Howe. But, after watching your Trogly show I figured it out that Steve knew best how to use the ES-175 and didn't want an LP over his signature sound and for electric guitars I spent my time over acoustics. I've gotten to the point to not let anyone touch them anymore because if anybody breaks one, it should be only me. I did once and I had no one else to blame, just me. When I start my building my electrics, I want to sell off some of my stuff then. Cheers!
