????Description: Welcome to the Trogly’s Banjo show! I’ve always had a soft spot for the “Hearts and Flowers” Banjos due to the Les Paul Artisan borrowing its inlays. This Epiphone Earl Scruggs signature is a NGD (NBD?) that a viewer did with me as a surprise gift for his grandfather “Pap” – he has always wanted one and this Christmas, his dream is finally coming true!

Just wow. That thing is gorgeous. Looks better than the pictures.
I love the intro, Austin. XD
Love the channel and I'm a long time subscriber since the first episode and I hate to leave bad comments but you just tap danced on the set up on this banjo.if you take it apart you have to start all over setting it up and it is a hard task that involves more than just "putting it back together".????
It's Trogly's Jugband Christmas!
That’s a lot of bling for $1,299
I can’t believe that thing is only 9 pounds my Gibson Earl Scruggs model weighs between 12-13 lbs. These Epiphone Earl Scruggs model would make Earl roll in his grave. He curated the Gibson model so closely. The new ones are have a super thick pot as you pointed out…worse part is the rubber washers between the neck and rim. Should be a fitted union of wood from rim to neck…they add rubber washers on these to make up for not making them fit. That’s a huge no no!
What a beautiful gift and sentiment '
Nice one Trog 🙂 Greetings from England 🙂 I think Earl was more the Jimi Hendrix of the banjo because he was kind of that revolutionary. The straps have spring loaded shackles on the end and attach to the head tension hooks. Generally the first hook beneath the neck is used because that tilts the banjo into exactly the right position. Really you should use metal finger picks and a thumb pick because as some one said to me once "well you wouldn't turn up to play golf without your clubs would you". There is also the whole thing of de-tuners that weren't on your review banjo but are a lot of fun. Search for "The Flint Hill Special" to get the idea, Earl or JD Crowes versions are cool.
Hopefully, someone is filming when Paps opens his gift. I would love to you feature see his reaction on the channel.
I’ve never wanted to own a banjo until now.
Rip Earl Scruggs I have one fact about him he is a part of the band Bill Monroes band with Lester flatt Lester and Earl were know for the song about engineer Steve Brodie and about the train crash he was in the song was called the wreck of the old 97
It would be cool if Landon could do a video of his grandad playing his new Banjo and you feature it on another show.
Never held or played a banjo but this is interesting
????⚡️????????️
Omg…is this dude really going the path of Trogly-Flix? Of all people…
13:13 if that serial number is formatted like an electric guitar, it would read a manufactured date of March 2024 at Factory 13 in China, production number 12267.
I made it two seconds into the cornball accent
Great edit, great video!
I litterally spit out coffee at the intro with the accent
Really good video love the banjo and the accent lol
I would love to see some footage of the new owner putting it through the proper paces.
It is possible to have quality craftsmanship in China. Anyone who's ever played an Eastman can attest to that.
nice little deliverance shoutout in the tone demos, thumbs up
Life was hard for the pioneers, but every now and then someone would break out a banjo and make it so much worse.
Have anyone heard this story: Do you know the difference between a onion and a banjo?
No one is crying when cutting up a banjo. ????
I don't normally like SGs, but that SG you showed is MAGNIFICENT
All Hail Trogly!
Austin, again…thank you so much. Helping me be able to create this moment/memory is beyond words.
Hi Trogly ! I really like your vidéos ! I wonder if you could test the Epiphone Power Players SG. I'm kind of a Gibson guy myself and my wife offered me this guitar as something to travel everywhere, but this thing really sings to me, more than my Gibson guitars, so I wonder if you could do a review on it, cause I think it could be cool for you and for this guitar.
No finger picks? I think most pickers use those. Also, why not do the Led Zeppelin song with banjo (Gallows Pole)?
My brother was one hell of a banjo player. RIP, Mark.
7:34 "Gibson inspired by Epihone" ????
5 string banjo are tuned G, D, G, B, D. That is what Earl used. The top of he banjo is called a head as in a drum head. (It actually is a drum head.)
That’s the craziest wood I’ve ever seen on an SG
oh man, when I heard you say "banjo" I was hoping it would be one of the Zombie Killers (Deering released two special banjos, both pretty darn cool, and you'll just have to look it up to understand them because I can't concisely explain them).
I was once dragged down to a car boot sale by my Dad who said there was a second hand banjo. I went down to take a look. The guy wanted £100. I offered him £5 as the neck was like a banana. I walked away.
Lmao that bad southern accent in the beginning????????
That's one nice banjo!
I hope he gets a lot of joy out of it!
The banjo sounds so African and Gibson – inspired by Epiphone!
What a lot of fun! Thanks Landon and Trogly for this close look and demo of this beautiful Epiphone Earl Scruggs Deluxe Banjo!
Bluegrass world's Slash? More like the bluegrass world's Hendrix.
