I’m sure those pickups on the 7 string V are Thunderbird pickups, more people have been adding those on guitars because they have a really nice chimey quality to them. Smart too since they’re just rail pickups under the covers so they don’t need to worry about pole spacing
*Gibson did make 12-string Firebirds but they were the non-reverse model* and they had the Les Paul/ES-headstock with a sweet split diamond inlay. They're actually really beautiful, I saw someone play one that had 6 tuner holes plugged once and that was a killer guitar
In a world that has completely gone to crap, I’m glad to see Mother Nature is still doing her job and giving us all this beautiful wood...thanks Mother Nature!!!!
That 12-string Firebird is just crazy! I also really liked that light blue sg-special with the Maestro vibrola and those Toaster pastry p-90 pickups towards the end, cool guitar
Man, I don’t know how I have never noticed them before, but that black Firebird Custom at 0:50 is beautiful! For sure the pinstripe 12 string is something special, but that black one is a treat for the eyes.
Relatively straight string pull on the headstock too. I love playing XII strings. I wish I had less guitars and more money. I’d pull the trigger on that bad boy. Right now I would have gone for it at $2500. 6k is nuts.
As for those Toaster Cream Cheese P90s, it looks like the chrome open cover is just secured to the standard plastic P90 cream cover. Its a good look however I would imagine the metal open cover would ever so slightly affect the pickup's tone. In the same way removing a humbucker's cover kind of opens up the high-end a little bit.
I took the gold covers off my les paul and it changed the tone dramatically. It sounded just fine before I did it, I just wanted to see for myself what was up.....but,the gold covers look soo00o much better to me...what to do,what to do,lol
Les Paul Modern and Axcess should have Jumbo Frets. They have a plec machine for all the fret work so it would just be a different program. I can't see it being much more work for them. Also I don't understand why the axcess doesn't have a compound radius neck. I feel like they would sell more. Keep all the 50s and 60s style the same but change the modern and axcess
A while back (like 1 1/2 months ago) demo shop sold a mod 50s LP goldtop that had a weird looking top color that the description said was a “relic”. I honestly just thought it was a messed up paint job that they were calling a relic. Always wanted to see if you caught that or were emailed about it. Maybe the buyer can share if it looked good; I thing it had black plastics too.
Being almost 60 I get surprised when young players know such names as Alvin Lee. So many of the guys I meet today if they know such rock royalty they discount the contributions such people have made to the music world. They'd rather think current artists whoever they idolize were the field of what's happening in music today. I'm also curious if we would've gotten a better look at that blueberry burst LP with the two tone pickup rings of the back would've been tied to the lighter part of the ring finish. They studio you showed I agree whoever bought that blue art finished one got a gorgeous example and congratulations.
Man that Pelham SG standard was a steal. At $1499 for a custom color SG standard when the regular transparent red ones are $1999. I would of bought that one if I’d seen it. I was literally looking at the Murphy aged Pelham blue SG’s last night and drooling over it. I can’t spend 6k on one though. But you can put a maestro tailpiece on that demo shop guitar & then change the plastics back to stock and you have a nice guitar at a fraction of the price.
Apparently there was an Acid Washed Agua colored Les Paul in the mod shop this week briefly. Too bad you didn't catch it to talk about it, it looked very appealing. You can see it on the Agufish channel.
Look closely at the pinstriping paint job on that 12 string Firebird. Freeze the vide at 2:49. Look very closely at the bottom end of the instrument and you might see some things you cannot unsee. Methinks, whoever painted and finished that guitar was taking the proverbial.
The Firebird is already prone to Headstock breaks. This one might break without an accident. Rickenbacker 12s have two truss rods to combat the tension. Many 60s Fender XIIs are beyond neck straightening as the truss has no more turns.
Several brands do 7 string V style guitars that still look pretty much the same as their 6 string counterparts, Ola Englund's solar V's are particularly good for that
That blue tribute is so beautiful to me. I would probably buy it over a standard… if I had the money I mean. And is it just me or would blind Labrador do a better job of aging a guitar than who ever did that LP.
I really, really, really liked that Cobalt Fusion Studio. I like the Studios anyway, simply because you don't mind taking them out of the house, but that one is a real eye catcher.
I feel mod/demo are the best way to buy a gibson guitar, they are cheaper and unique and one of a kind and most importantly, what you see is what you get.
That Cobalt Fusion finish is 100% copied on Jackson's Eerie Dess Swirl finish (although not as nice as most Jacksons) which is my favourite finish on a guitar ever and my dream, but being a lefty, apart from going custom shop that's not gonna happen. Still very cool to see that on a Les Paul!
It didnt look to me like eerie dess swirl, those jacksons are beautiful though but i do wish i knew what other companies would call that kind of finish. The cobalt fusion is my new favorite guitar thing lol
That is a GREAT idea on the 12! They should make Firebirds their standard 12 string platform. The 9 piece neck makes it super strong and the headstock shape doesn’t have to be modified. I know it is strange at first but isn’t anywhere near as strange as the SG with the huge headstock. Really wouldn’t be surprised to see this become more common. Kind of feels like it has been hiding in plain sight. Maybe a double neck? … The Inferno Bird
Don't mean it's mean to bum you out Trogly, But you were late to the party. They released the listings before 9:00 a.m. mountain this week. You missed a ton of crazy ones that sold immediately.
I usually don't like Firebirds or pinstriping, but the guy that did that Firebird knocked it out of the park, and I think it looks better as a 12-string than any other since the Rich Bich. The only way to improve it is to make it a doubleneck -c'mon Gibson, let's see a doubleneck Firebird!
If somebody needs to read the SN on the Firebird, they can remove two tuners to look, and take a picture for posterity's sake. The SN is not erased. It's also written in the COA booklet, if included. JS
Is it just me or does the LP Modern seem to have black chrome hardware!? I think it would look pretty cool with a regular pickguard and black speeknobs. The Blueberry Burst LP Traditional Pro seems to have black chrome hardware too.
A 12-string Firebird - seems more logical in its fashion as a production model than the 12-string *ES* models I've seen. On the other hand, how many solid-body 12-string electric models came out when they were originally in vogue?
I had no idea Gibson did a 7-string before that one in the Mod Collection, save for the Epiphone Matt Heafy sigs, so that was actually a nice history lesson there. Wonder how that sounds with the Thunderbird pickups...
There was a Glenn Fricker video that featured a guy with a 7 string SG that just would not stay in tune and they had to stop using it. He spent so much on it and he couldn't even use it for recording. Hopefully that V is better...
I'm looking for a five string guitar (not a bass). One Inspired by Keith Richards playing. Maybe a thinner neck and only 5 stings (1,2,3,4,5) no 6th string. Telecaster like tones and more.
At the sturgis motorcycle rally, I had a guy pinstripe my front fender, left and right gas tank and finally the rear fender, all for $250. And I was price gouged because it was the sturgis rally. There is no fkng way I’m paying +$2k more for a 12 string gibby/hobby firebird. My tech at Leitz guitars will do it for FAR less!
Spacey Studio looks fantastic ' ...would love to have heard and seen a demo of that Firebird 12 ...'Metal Dove' - great name for a band, the doves round here are always rockin' the bird table ha ha '
I bought my first Les Paul (Epiphone) like 2 weeks ago, and I am already completely obsessed. Mine is a Chinese made one, but I am really looking into buying an American made Gibson this weekend if I see a nice one at the local shops. I can't wait to go look!
@@walkerpendleton760 My Epiphone is a 2008 Prophecy Custom with EMG's. The weekend after I wrote this comment I bought a 2019 Gibson LP Trad Pro V, Guitar Center special (full mahogany) in Vintage Cherry Satin... she is an absolute beauty! I also bought an Orange PPC212 Cab with celestion v30s and a Rocker 15 Terror head. It's been so much fun playing with all this new equipment!
Don't know the whole details on the two tone controll 335, but I've had guitars that have the standard master tone and another tone wired that rolls off the bottom frequencies, so that may be a possibility
Cool twelve string guitar. But traditionally, the higher pitched strings, which are tuned an octave higher, are strung closer to the high e string. Of course when the strings are the same pitch, as with the high e string and the b string it doesn't matter. These higher pitched strings are strung closer to the low e string, or as to the low e string, are strung away from the high e string. This is strung backwards.. Who did this... Gibson? I've had several twelve string guitars, including one now, and none have ever been strung like this one....
You people are so stupid. Gibson doesn’t watch trogly videos to get pricing advise. He speaks his opinion based on his experience in the business. It’s all for the viewer.
@@AreU4Real1 How would his opinion be of any benefit saying the guitar could have fetched more money than it sold for? What evidence can you prove that Gibson doesn’t watch his channel? I understand everyone is entitled to their opinion but calling people stupid for doing so only puts you in the same category!
@@lettuce_spray lucky me to run into a you tube philosopher. Here’s my proof. I called Gibson marketing and asked if Trog was responsible for pricing and they said, I quote “what are you stupid”
I bought that 7 string Flying V in the Gibson website. I got the confirmation e-mail with a confirmation number, they took it out of the website… And after a few hours they decided to sell it to someone else because they cancelled my order because it was not “available anymore”. What a crappy and fishy behaviour from the official mod shop!! I am asking for answers and all I get is that it is not available anymore!!
yup...wwwhhhooooaaaahhh....you definately hit the right comments when browsing through these guitars.....and see through some cheap marketing tricks, to sell something old wrapped up in a different package.....:-)
Hey, if the Tuners do their job and keep the Guitar in Tune, they ARE Grovers, I’m fine with the 5 & 7 per side, BUT erasing the ALL IMPORTANT Serial Number ESPECIALLY for Collectors ???
new subscriber! :) love you show. I was wondering. i have an old Eko 335 of which i would love to know how old it is. I have scoured the net for recources but came up dry. I don't have the s/n on me now but do you have any leads for reliable Eko s/n data?
That was a bargain on the 7 string too! Why sell a bastardized 12 string for $6500 and a then the 7 for $2200? I’m totally confused about how Gibson is valuing guitars. You can’t get a decent 7 string for less than around 1k and that’s going to be a Schecter or something. But Schecter would sell that offset 12 string style for 700 bucks new. How is a non neck thru firebird with some extra strings twice as much as a Les Paul standard?
Hi Giibson made a Firebird 12 String Way back in the 1960s I don’t know if it’s sold very well or not I really wish Giibson would make 12 string electric guitars like they did back in the 60s the ES3 3512 string that was a good guitar. And for that matter I wish Giibson would make the EB-2 Base again that was a really good bass.And maybe make the EB3 bass that would really be nice💰💰💰💰🎶🎶🎶🎶🎩🎩🎩
I think that the 12 string firebird is not neck thru... Anyway, gibson murdered their own design with the firebird lately... Can't they get a decent designer to re-do the original headstock to accomodate regular tuners? Because those plain flat headstocks on new firebirds look lame... I built several firebird guitars with original headstock design and put in regular tuners - and the strings go pretty straight after the nut so there are no tuning stability issues...
Did you ever do a video about all of those Gibson guitars that had to be destroyed several years back? I remember seeing videos & pics of all of these blue, red etc Gibson guitars on the ground & being rub over by a bulldozer & I remember seeing some outcry about it but I don’t remember any of the details.

There were 12 string non reverse models in the sixties with a standard headstock.
WOAAAHHHH that's a lot of strings 😅 this is why this series is my favorite!
Greetings and well wishes from Utah man!

The 7-string headstock tuner arrangement is so satisfying!
It's really strange that they don't already. They're no longer a really niche thing. Everyone from jazz to metal players are making use of them.
yea….no
The well-to-do blues lawyers would be dumbfounded at the existence of a low B string hahahaha
what does a guitarist need 7 strings for...??
i have enough going on with 6....:-)
Definitely a smaller bobbin on those toaster p90s. I guess they are wrapped and same magnets as a p90. Reminds me of gold foils in the looks.
There are definitely 12 string firebirds out there with standard (extended) open book headstocks
Where they dropped the ball on the 12 string Firebird was having humbuckers. The traditional Firebird pickups would have a better chime.

Firebird 12…? That high E string angle though…. This sort of 12 string probably should have been done on a headstock that hasn’t been drilled yet.

How awesome is that sunburst neck on the 335? I love that oddball dark neck on the maple body.
I bought the 2015 Traditional the tobacco burst top is way better than it looked on their reverb shop.
I have to imagine they added some additional support in the neck for the 12 string, which might help justify some of that sky high cost
I saw the Firebird in the email. I noticed the pinstripes but not that it was a 12 string 🤦♀️
Little disappointed that you didn't talk about the silverburst vos that was $3,699.

I think that the 12 string firebird is not neck thru... Anyway, gibson murdered their own design with the firebird lately... Can't they get a decent designer to re-do the original headstock to accomodate regular tuners? Because those plain flat headstocks on new firebirds look lame... I built several firebird guitars with original headstock design and put in regular tuners - and the strings go pretty straight after the nut so there are no tuning stability issues...
They don't really want to sell any of these right?
Did you ever do a video about all of those Gibson guitars that had to be destroyed several years back? I remember seeing videos & pics of all of these blue, red etc Gibson guitars on the ground & being rub over by a bulldozer & I remember seeing some outcry about it but I don’t remember any of the details.

@@Trog awesome, thank you!
In reference to that 12-string business is business it could be the rarest guitar in the world but if nobody wants it
