    I can finally cross the "Challenger" off my list of models to review. Nice build quality, but electronics leave a bit to be desired
    If anyone has a really clean one, feel free to let me know

      I own a 1984 "Challenger II" in very mint condition. Aged beautifully. I am the first owner, bought in 1988 as a slow seller in Germany (It came with the Shainsaw-Case also 😊). I swapped the pickups for P90 in humbucker format. Sounds fantastically jazzy and plays very well! The tuners on your guitar are not original. Others are installed on my guitar, also Gibson brands but more vintage style. I can send you a photo if you want!?

    Have the 2nd Challenger made from 83. It's a Challenger 2 with an Electric Blue finish. It was my birthday present for no 17. The second pickup makes big difference. A perfect setup helps any guitar, but on mine, anyone who has played it usually says plays like butter. Back in 84' I kept my pickguard and made one tracing to a piece of black plastic from the hobby store. I set up a Dimarzio 2xn and a SM Reissue. Didn't read do much for it unless you were playing very dirty. I still have my first good guitar graduating from some unplayables.. it sports it's original equipment. . I don't know about yours,, but I have a good idea that the neck was originally going to go on an epiphone. Here's my reasoning... if you look real good, you can see an Epiphone water slide under the new black paint and Gibson sticker. I think thus cayse I had an early Challenger. Hey the 84 c3 is absolutely trash.
    Hey, I'd like to hit on the sonex as you mentioned. Only the 80 was actually made in the USA! The rest were built made in Japan and possibly assembled here. All MIJ parts. If you notice the truss, it's different in 80 and has the bell. You have the Gibson truss rod. In 81', that's a straight route with a metric truss to adjust with an allen wrench. Take a look at the placement of tge later 2 years body plates. Most aren't on straight. I have a hard time believing it was made here. I bought mine from a friend in 1985 for 50 bucks. He just wondered away from the guitar and sold it to just get rid of it. It's an 80' Silverburst Custom with the tap. Funny thing is it did not come with dirty fingers pickups, they were the deluxe. Who knows??? I still have it. It's not as good as a player. It's got a chunkier neck but it's thinner with a cheap plastic japanese style nut like you would find on a lawsuit. I bought a 79 Firebrand SG from another friend for 75 bucks in 85 to. He dropped the poor thing and busted the neck. I tried swapping out the dirty fingers. Lot clearer at high gain. Just don't like the thin width neck. The resinwood and and sound chamber don't hold a candle to the Challenger. Oh the fur brand SG. I held onto it, and in 95, there was ebay and I found a walnut neck. I know they knock the firebrand, but I due believe that's premissed on The Paul which was the worst less that Ive played, by miles. The sg version has beautiful tone, touch and feel with the walnut construction and and Tim Shaws. I made one mod when I put a new neck on. I bought a Diamond headstock laminant from ebay also and and intalled that. From blah, to headturner. Why people don't cover up that firebrand with a veneer is beyond me, lol. ✌ out

Nothing wrong with making a non-P90 single coil model or bolt-on once in awhile.

    I've played a few of these over the years. Never found one I liked..Very muddy sounding p-ups..they just feel cheap.

    Hey Trogly, I'm not a guitarist, Keyboard guy,
    but love your videos. They warn "normal" guys , like me to fakes. Have a "home studio" where most of my friends are guitarists. Keep your videos coming ;)

    Yeah well well its true that its not really the guitar , its all in the hands ( fingers ), so it doesnt matter what yer playing ( relatively ) , the Challenger is mmmmmm o.k. , but the Corvus must be made by ' Rubbermaid ' not Gibson !...the Challenger headstock reminds me of the Gretsch ' hump-block ' ( Alamo ) inlays ......Thanks Trogly !!

    I played a nice LP Standard at GC and it was CRAP......Horrible tone and it was $1500 and a lefty. I then picked up an Epiphone LP Standard and within 5 minutes.....I bought it and walked out of the store......that was 15 years ago and it is the only one of my 8 guitars I play......no mods
