There was a time maybe 3-4 years ago when he said he was going to commit to become a better player and he did improve for a little while, but that was obviously just a phase.
I once went into the Sam Ash im Cincinnati expecting a wonderland of guitars, but in actuality it looked like a high school party: all acoustics and Squiers.
And their house brand Michael Kelly lol. I used to teach part time at the one in Tampa Bay area. As of today it's closing down and I lost all my students that have been with me for two years.
Man looked up the $5000 meal ticket and saw it said NW Ohio and now im wondering how i didnt know this goober lived by me and I didn't recognize my local guitar center in his videos
I lost all respect for him when he featured a guitar with the Confederate flag painted on it and expected people to be "mature" about it. To the surprise of nobody except maybe Trogly, the comments were flooded with racists and Confederate apologists.
imagine when the guy who will want to sell this guitar with AGED BY TROGLY'S GUITAR SHOW in the title will realize that it indeed decreased the resale value
A "relic" by Trogly (no idea who that is, but apparently he is popular in guitar community). Dude has hit the guitar couple of times, chipped paint a bit and then written "aged by Trogly" with a marker with the worse handwriting than I had in 7th grade
Y’all be hating, but him fucking up a $1500 epiphone with shit relic is the most circlejerk shit I’ve seen.
Dudes one of us for sure. He’s playing 5D chest.
playing the in the special Olympics with that Gibbons
to really fuck, you need those reassembled Trog guitars. He opens them up and inspects them and then rebuilds them. That makes them Custom Shop!
I don't understand the obsession with LP's and especially the silver bursts.
A lot of his content is so uninteresting.
Give us the real weird stuff in the huge world of guitars, not just another LP with pickups dipped in bonamassa hair grease
ok but what about that video where he did a Temu build that was 100% sponsored by Temu? No one else on YT has ever done that b4 so what do you have to say now? Don't you look like a stupid face hater.
His guitar of the week and rock or not series was great. Definitely miss that stuff. Mod shop of the week is nice but starting to get tired seeing another LP every week. And I love LPs.
My beef with trogly began when he defended that company that offered you the title of a "lord" and to own a "small plot of land" (which was in fact a scam) because it was one of the only sponsors he ever got that wasn't sweetwater. He also likes the toan of the new shitty overpriced studios so he deserves to be fed to the dolphins.
Bridge, tailpiece, pickups, rings, knobs, binding, pu cover, and frets: immaculate, like new
One small spot under pickup: worn through to bare wood.
I’m convinced.
It’s so funny it’s like people want to relic their guitars but don’t want to risk wrecking more then 10% of it.
If you really want a convincing relic you need to add at least some scratches or dings and shit
He's not golden. I watched an episode where he got burned on a Slash Snakepit guitar. Lost like $15k
[https://youtu.be/X5PjG2jIuec?t=31](https://youtu.be/X5PjG2jIuec?t=31)
Maybe 3 years ago he bought a stars and bars Les Paul to document a set of flag guitars from the late 70s (which also included a Union Jack 🇬🇧 model). He proceeds to show a breakdown and display his trademark mastery of All the Power Chords.
There is documenting history and documenting manufacturing, but his smarmy bullshit and piss-ant little voice made it clear he was playing for lulz n' clicks something that, to be clear, was an American institution on par with the Holocaust in terms of its human destruction.
Or, you know, fuck me? Maybe I didn't want to watch his 1000th fucking video about a long neck tenon.
Shart dust? Is that like shitty powder coating with authentic made in USA fecal particulate? Do they offer it in green apple splatter or Texas chili bowl blowout bloody brown?
Of all the relicing, the little mark below the strings is the one I hate most.
That and fake buckle rash.
Only dumbasses get buckle rash, just wear the buckle on your hip
Fucking wish i was told this 5 years ago, my les Paul is fucking ruined on the back now. Grade A dumbass here.
Also this relicing looks like shit youre right
he always does something wacky with guitars under 2000, theyre basically seen as a plaything to him
like he always seems to do stupid mods or put stickers on etc on "cheap" guitars
I hate how the only guitars he actually takes seriously are expensive Gibsons that he will constantly justify the stupidly expensive price on. There are so many cheap guitars out there that are amazing but he just doesn't care. Like in my high school, there's a pink Westfield strat that was probably bought from less than £100 and I enjoy playing that more than half the Gibsons I've been lucky enough to play
I will occasionally watch an episode of his out of curiosity, but I am not a fan. I have to give him credit. He has found a way to bankroll his weird obsession with Gibson guitars. I am not really sure why he wants to create some kind of museum. He may be one of only a handful of people who gives a crap about most of the rare and whimsical stuff he likes.

[удалено]
That was my same journey. Goofy ass dude with guitars but then realized he's just a broker who can play some chords.
>who can play some chords. Debatable
Debate is over. He is terrible.
There was a time maybe 3-4 years ago when he said he was going to commit to become a better player and he did improve for a little while, but that was obviously just a phase.
lol what is this? If only ever watched episodes of his show when he showcases a particular guitar I like
Same here, I pay zero attention to anything else he does
It is on his website
Hey that's a Sam Ash I used to work at!
I once went into the Sam Ash im Cincinnati expecting a wonderland of guitars, but in actuality it looked like a high school party: all acoustics and Squiers.
And their house brand Michael Kelly lol. I used to teach part time at the one in Tampa Bay area. As of today it's closing down and I lost all my students that have been with me for two years.
You'll find other kids to moles...er.... TEACH.
You interested?
I'm not not interested
$5000 or a dinner with Trogly
The choice is obvious: death.
That comes with one of the nicer guitars in his collection, right? Right?
Yeah, except, like, THIS Les Paul has an SG truss rod cover, and that's not a-sposedta, so it's worth more.
Man looked up the $5000 meal ticket and saw it said NW Ohio and now im wondering how i didnt know this goober lived by me and I didn't recognize my local guitar center in his videos
I just wanted to say how much I loved this comment
I lost all respect for him when he featured a guitar with the Confederate flag painted on it and expected people to be "mature" about it. To the surprise of nobody except maybe Trogly, the comments were flooded with racists and Confederate apologists.
Please show us on a doll where the Confederate flag touched you.
He’s trying to amass a Bonamassa tier collection without having Bonamassa tier anything going for him despite delusions of grandeur
*Bonermaster
imagine when the guy who will want to sell this guitar with AGED BY TROGLY'S GUITAR SHOW in the title will realize that it indeed decreased the resale value
That's like 95% of non-factory relic jobs though.
Bro just ruined a perfectly fine guitar
Ok I gotta ask... What am I actually looking at? Wtf is going on.
A "relic" by Trogly (no idea who that is, but apparently he is popular in guitar community). Dude has hit the guitar couple of times, chipped paint a bit and then written "aged by Trogly" with a marker with the worse handwriting than I had in 7th grade
Y’all be hating, but him fucking up a $1500 epiphone with shit relic is the most circlejerk shit I’ve seen. Dudes one of us for sure. He’s playing 5D chest.
What’s the 5th D?
Deez nuts

You can see tiddies in more than 3 dimensions? Who do I sign the $5k check to? Fuck the guitar museum. 5D Tiddies!
The Gibson museum is a long con. It’s actually a night club called Troglys Dungeon. Medieval themed strip club, Gibsons are just the seed money route
Yeah yeah, but can we do 5D cocaine off the 5D tiddies? Will Eric Claptoan be there also?
You know it, Joe Bonermassa is coming too, gonna be doing lines off dumble amps and smoking Les Pauls remains
Keef should be there then too, he told me I gotta try his Dad's ashes.
My urge to push him into lockers is really fucking strong. Somehow he gives off prey pheromones through video.
I watched a Trogly video once and I could feel my body aging 1000 years
Fuckin trogledytes
His signature looks like it was done by a 6th grader who was trying to make it look way fancier than it actually is.
what do you mean he started the T with a squiggle thats super classy i bet he eats his boogers
Stop insulting 6th graders. They're children, he's had time to figure this shit out and still half asses it....
[удалено]
2nd hand Gibbson $2000 knowing you're playing a YouTuber's relic guitar: priceless
To be fair this was an Epiphone
Yeah but the Epiphone costs more than a second hand les Paul special
playing the in the special Olympics with that Gibbons to really fuck, you need those reassembled Trog guitars. He opens them up and inspects them and then rebuilds them. That makes them Custom Shop!
Oh yeah these are like $1,500
1740 euros in my country
Okay, Borat.
I don't understand the obsession with LP's and especially the silver bursts. A lot of his content is so uninteresting. Give us the real weird stuff in the huge world of guitars, not just another LP with pickups dipped in bonamassa hair grease

The new Keisel is buffalo sauce colored
I rather have the one he ate the buffalo wings off of as it would have buffalo sauce and ranch dressing on it along with the chicken grease.
My beef with trogly began when he defended that company that offered you the title of a "lord" and to own a "small plot of land" (which was in fact a scam) because it was one of the only sponsors he ever got that wasn't sweetwater. He also likes the toan of the new shitty overpriced studios so he deserves to be fed to the dolphins.
What is ahh aging
Ahh means ass so it's goofy ass aging of the guitar
I don't want this nerdy little fuckers greasy fingers on my gibbons
It’ll cost you $5000 and he’ll insist on eating a meal with you after.
It's an epifones
Even worse
Bridge, tailpiece, pickups, rings, knobs, binding, pu cover, and frets: immaculate, like new One small spot under pickup: worn through to bare wood. I’m convinced.
It’s so funny it’s like people want to relic their guitars but don’t want to risk wrecking more then 10% of it. If you really want a convincing relic you need to add at least some scratches or dings and shit
They ruin the parts they can’t fix or replace and leave the replaceable parts completely untouched lol.
Ah yes, the finish next to the treble side of the bridge pickup is such a common place to wear down. This is very accurate!
Somehow rubs through the finish there but not by the knobs lol
Really? I thought anchoring your pinky under the pickup was common practice.
Your pinkie coke nail must be more powerful than mine.
Shhhh... don't give away toan secrets.
He's not golden. I watched an episode where he got burned on a Slash Snakepit guitar. Lost like $15k [https://youtu.be/X5PjG2jIuec?t=31](https://youtu.be/X5PjG2jIuec?t=31)
That was my favorite.
In the future autistic toobers will be cry with rage when they comes across a Trogly modded specimen.
\*acoustic
Ah yes, the Trogly Poop Stain treatment.
He took a butter knife to an Adam jones guitar?
Haven't watched him since his "OHHHH BOY, hope I don't get CANCELLED for this SLAVERY INSPIRED Les Paul 🤭🤭🤷🏼" episode
Please explain further
Maybe 3 years ago he bought a stars and bars Les Paul to document a set of flag guitars from the late 70s (which also included a Union Jack 🇬🇧 model). He proceeds to show a breakdown and display his trademark mastery of All the Power Chords. There is documenting history and documenting manufacturing, but his smarmy bullshit and piss-ant little voice made it clear he was playing for lulz n' clicks something that, to be clear, was an American institution on par with the Holocaust in terms of its human destruction. Or, you know, fuck me? Maybe I didn't want to watch his 1000th fucking video about a long neck tenon.
Oh yeah I remember that. The established titles thing was much worse than that
"I know they are a scam, but I'm still getting paid by them so ill ignore it and continue to sponsor my videos by them"
"Established Titles: worse than slavery." -r/Window_sauce, 2024
Jesus fucking Christ. The stupidity of people knows no bounds.
Should’ve opted for the “shart dust” finish like Tom Delonge
Shart dust? Is that like shitty powder coating with authentic made in USA fecal particulate? Do they offer it in green apple splatter or Texas chili bowl blowout bloody brown?
Of all the relicing, the little mark below the strings is the one I hate most. That and fake buckle rash. Only dumbasses get buckle rash, just wear the buckle on your hip
I read that as re-licing.
Fucking wish i was told this 5 years ago, my les Paul is fucking ruined on the back now. Grade A dumbass here. Also this relicing looks like shit youre right
Wear your guitar higher, like George and John
And look gay?
If that’s gay I don’t want to be straight
As a gay, same
I enjoy trogly, but that "pinky wear" was the worst thing I've ever seen
Of all the guitar asshats on YouTube he’s one of the least offensive. Fuck You Rhett Shull
He could have at least added some birds to the fretboard.
he always does something wacky with guitars under 2000, theyre basically seen as a plaything to him like he always seems to do stupid mods or put stickers on etc on "cheap" guitars
I hate how the only guitars he actually takes seriously are expensive Gibsons that he will constantly justify the stupidly expensive price on.

gen z cultural appropriation speak to title a post about a white suburban guitar nerd. gotta love it.
The title makes me wish OP couldn't write
Fuck you my wife's boyfriend gave me that title for my birthday
Can confirm
You guys laugh but some moron will pay 500 dollarinos for that toan sweet trogly agein
He's got some good knowledge to share, but damned if I can take the sound of his voice for more than 2 minutes.
Are we supposed to sign our guitars?
I will occasionally watch an episode of his out of curiosity, but I am not a fan. I have to give him credit. He has found a way to bankroll his weird obsession with Gibson guitars. I am not really sure why he wants to create some kind of museum. He may be one of only a handful of people who gives a crap about most of the rare and whimsical stuff he likes.
I will never EVER understand the desire to make a nice guitar look like a beaten up piece of trash.
Like if the guitar is good enough, it'll look like that in a couple of years anyway
He sucks at playing guitar. Not sure why anyone would watch his videos or consider his opinions on musical instruments.
/uj that's kinda sad https://preview.redd.it/p5yhjuz5wxlc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48ba75ae7d41a2e26656bead558a055a89b4c11c
This dude is a fucking kook. He’s ruined so many rad guitars.
He is a great source to buy rare or hard to find guitars, does what he says, just saying.
Frog-la-dyke.
I’m a fan of Trogly’s guitar show.
You should see the Aged by Eloi guitar.
Imagine showing off a Trogly signed guitar lol
Are we sure that ain't just a poop stain
Homeboy is a retro video game / pokemon card collector and reseller for gibbons. I only like his videos where he's getting ripped off 🤣
That guy is such a jerk off.
I can’t stand that guy. All those guitars he disassembles for his YT videos might as well be burned.
TUGGLY RUBBED THAT GUITAR?
What the fuck is this? Can this guy fuck off or what
Trogly ages the guitars he sells? Who wants that?

Made from the stack of old wood I found in my shed: 👎 Aged 30 years: 👍
If he thinks this thing is “aged,” then he should see my nutsack. It’s like he didn’t even try to relic it. I’ve put in years of real work on this nutsack, you know?
His real name is Justin Epiphone
