@Mailroom Clerk Are you feeling a little salty because nobody on Reverb has ever fallen for one of your grifts? I've just done a quick search on Ebay and found a couple of LTD EC-256es going for BIN prices of $250 or less. Meanwhile, brand new Glenn Tipton pickups are selling at $199 from Musician's Friend. This might all be BS, as you claim. But, just how confident are you that Trogly didn't offer these pickups for trade on a forum where Judas Priest is held in higher esteem than an almost entry-level Les Paul copy from LTD?

And then the final trade: the custom shop for a bag of miracle legume seeds...

@@robertclarkguitar Yeah, he needs to get a White Board just to keep track of it all. About finding a vintage guitar. 10 or so years ago, locally where I live (Northern Michigan) a friend of a co-worker purchased a beat up red Stratocaster at a garage sale for $80. He took it to Elderly Music in Lansing and found out it was an all original 1960 Stratocaster. Elderly's Music bought it from him for something like $20K plus a guitar they had in the store. Those kinds of guitars are still out there just waiting to be discovered. Many of us thought he should have shared his good fortune with the lady who sold it to him, he did not though. I won't judge his decision, I only know what I would have done. I would have kept that 1960 Stratocaster and left it at that!

I think the more salient privilege is never being put in a position where the financial resources shouldn’t be allocated elsewhere in one’s life. Much more financial independence and the whole endeavor is kinda pointless, much less and you’d end up buying tires or something instead. A massive fan base of engaged enthusiasts certainly doesn’t hurt, but it didn’t seem like he took any outright advantage of them, or realized a deal any other person couldn’t have achieved with enough time and spare gear. But the reason everyone isn’t doing it is realistically it’s not a very practical way of buying an instrument. It’s more just an interesting challenge for someone who can and wants to. After all, the original “I traded a red paperclip for a house” only had Craigslist-no fan base or KZread.

@@silverXnoise I think he did take advantage though. If you recall, in trade tuesday S1, he traded a cheapish vintage Kent Bass for a Schecter Synester Gates guitar. This was before inflation and those basses were maybe in the 100-$150 tops range on a good day while the Schecter is worth at least double I realize the kid was happy with the trade but maybe something else could've been thrown in to sweeten the deal. Also, Id like to add the the youtube presence certainly helped him. I remember it there is this famous youtuber who turned a coin or a toy into a house and his online presence made this possible. Trading up are definitely possible though! I Traded a 2020 Fender Player Jag that I bought for $450 for a 2006 American Deluxe Strat in Honey Blonde plus $150 on my end this week. Came with a case and in mint condish too. EDIT: Holy crap seeing these prices from back then is crazy!

Gotta give a nod to all the people who buy your guitars and pay a bit more than they might normally because they are supporting you and your channel! That's a huge part of your ability to make the trades and the sales and make the transition from shit to shine! The average citizen CAN do the trading up, but have to work much harder to make it happen.

Not only you're COMPLETELY ignoring ANY experience needed for this kind of thing, but you're blaming it on his FANBASE. Something the guy earned for having a KZread Channel for YEARS + posting like FUCKING CRAZY (Daily. not Weekly. DAILY) ps: I don't have a fanbase, and yet I've already traded a pair of Seymour Duncans + some money on a 250W Hughes & Kettner Bass Amp. And the guy was SUPER happy about it.

You’ve come such a long ways in the playing department, with this new-found drive I bet you’ll become an awesome player. I’ll surely follow your development with interest, as alway. God speed Trogly!!

Please Keep the Trade series alive. Cool to hear the results broken down deal by deal.

Strong work... fun video to watch. Great editing. Thx.

Holy cow that thing is beautiful. I've seen a similar model to this before (Gold finish, White Pearloid Pickguard, Rosewood fretboard, birdseye maple and gold hardware) and i absolutely fell in love with it, the thing was so beautiful i even thought it had matching headstock, but it was just the birdseye being absolutely insane on it. Thats a keeper, congrats.

You are a very clever. and astute man Austin, it’s amazing what you have done. I know I couldn’t do it, love the custom shop Stratocaster too.

Well Done Sir!!!👍👍 A beautiful choice, can't go wrong with a nice Strat 😁

Sooo hyped for the new series Also great Fender, love the back of the neck

Nice Strat bro! I've been subbed to you for a while now and I can tell already getting better at playing!!

You are making me want to try and do a number of trades too. Super cool - please do season 3!

Hey trogly for season 3 you should go for some sort of vintage guitar. Start off with a classical guitar maybe?

You've actually gotten a lot better at guitar. I come here for the history lessons and the wacky shit you dig up! This was incredible. How you manage this, I'll never know. Beautiful neck, sounds awesome. I hope one day you get an Electra Outlaw to keep. That guitar is so you

Agreed the neck on that thing is stunning , really cool!

Beautiful Strat, Congratulations! The work was worth the payoff.

I’ve noticed your playing getting better. Enjoy the channel very much.

Really liked the series especially the end result. That's an awesome Strat.

*Love this series! I would love to see you try to get a specific vintage guitar.*

Lovely strat pal, I'd love to do a trade up thing myself, really goes to show if you haven't got thousands to spend on a guitar then you can still achieve your dreams 😀

Omg that fender is so beautiful! Great channel

Congratulations 🎉 nice work!!

CONGRATULATIONS ! Your demo playing is making good progress.too

I think you've progressed a lot in the past year in your playing. Not that you were bad, I always enjoyed your demos.

Absolutely in love with that strat wow what a beautiful guitar

Great result! Love that neck!

i like the new concept, at least enough to give it a chance

Omg what a neck on that thing! Congrats great work!!

I have an EC-10 i bought from a flea market for 20 bucks. The volume pot was shot, but that obviously was an easy fix. I freaking love how it sounds honestly, best 20 bucks of my life

Love your show, long time viewer, keep up the good work

Go for it, Trogly, you can become better, you can do it. I wish you luck!!

Great Job!!! My goal is to hone my little knowledge of playing and actually learn to play.U will be looking forward to your new series...Thanks for your inspiration.

Got 2 58 reissue in my cheap squire with the gotoh style floyd.And a JB in bridge HSS.Some paint and will be sweet.I love the way they feel and play for a cheap 169$,Just swapped pickups and that was it.NEVER goes out of tune EVER.20 years old so it is naturally relic.My favorite guitar.

Ah, the same copper color that they put on the 1952 reissue Telecasters from the late 90's! Good stuff.

I do very similar trading. Usually I don’t have a outcome goal. I just keep it going until I get really good stuff. Then that thread ends and I begin a new journey. Buy or trade for something cheap and raise the stakes every time until the conclusion. Great channel and great video ! Do some more musical equipment bartering videos please

Great episode, love that tele

This is such a cool show! I’ve been wanting to do the same, any tips or tricks you know? I’d think patience is a big thing.

All those late 90s 58 reissues had that same birds eye flame maple necks. Funny thing. Billie Joe Armstrong had two of these in the late 90s as his e tuned guitar and its backup. Both were blue replicas of his blue Fernandes rst 80 57. With a Duncan jb in the bridge position. One of them had a lefty bridge like an S.R.V. strat.

Score!! Love the kneck.
