The SG horns. Lol. I swear, I only noticed they were asymmetrical less than five years ago. Well into adulthood. Their association with hard rock and metal, Angus Young,Tony Iommi, the red and black finishes. It all made me think they were specifically designed to have a devil horns vibe. It really speaks on how ahead of their time Gibson was. The V and Explorer prove that. It’s like a time traveler came back and told them to make these shapes, their time will come. Lol. My brother is a Jazz pianist/guitarist and has a Flying V because he always thought they were cool. Some times a jazzhead guy or two will roast him about playing a heavy metal guitar. He then has to set them straight about it originating in the 1950’s, and they don’t know what they’re talking about. That shuts them up every time.
I have stared at SGs for over 30 years and always thought they were symmetrical. It hit me after looking at a Pelham blue one I’ve owned for over 2 years. I was completely shook and it’s taken me months to accept it.
@@larsheuker You can play blues on any pickups. They can, and do. Especially the V. Albert King played a V. Left handed, strung right handed. He just learned to play it upside down.
About that QC thing on the first unboxing. I had the same exact mark on my flying v that I purchased last month. Same exact mark and spot. Seems Gibson's QC in 2021 is lacking.
I’ve bought a Les Paul from the grandson of Raveen the Impossiblist In the back of the theater after the show his dad had just done. It was either really cool or I was hypnotized.
That LP going to Canada, get some rosewood and grind some with the small holes on a block metal cheese shredder. Mix a thick paste with Tight Bond wood glue and fill the gap after taping the binding. The folling day very carefully sand flush. Color blend should be almost perfect. Easy repair.
I like the bald man but its strange that it doesn't have the black along the edge by the neck. I lucked out in getting a case for the SG I bought from you. Took about 2 to 3 months so I kept the SG in the box you sent it in. I know what it's like to be teased about a name of a cartoon characters or comic character. Watched Blues Brothers and Blues Brothers 2000 this evening and found myself checking out the guitars more than usual. One of the guys played a Gobsin Double cut like one of the the ones you just reviewed.
I have been looking at a new SG standard for a while now and I’m pretty bummed with Gibson getting a bit cheap. I won’t pull the trigger just yet because a guitar like that now comes in a gig bag. Yes I could spend $125-$150 to get a case but shouldn’t they give you a hard shell case still? That’s been bugging me a lot.
216trixie that’s super lame then. The last new guitar I bought was about 15 years ago it was an SG standard but in a limited finish. Back then they were like $1100 and came with a hard shell case. That’s just super lame that they are now $1600-$1700 and come in gig bags.
I have a Manhattan Midnight studio from 2015 and the finish has a consistent fade, it's about half black and half blue. Maybe they've changed it, the grain is a lot more visible on that one with it being more blue so it does look nicer despite seeming uneven. If it's supposed to look like mine it's a rarity where the spay tech had a sneezing fit while doing the black :)
The top on my 80 black standard has the exact same lines I wonder if it was the same guy running the sander? My finish also has some of that strange wear too, pretty sure it's "tone wear" and adds sustain 🤘🔨
I got right guard deodorant on my 92 SG several years back and it did this very same thing to the finish. in the same spot as i sat and played it. something about the chemicals I'm guessing maybe reacting with the lacquer?
Hi Austin, what product do you use to condition fret boards? I have a ‘63 Strat with a rosewood fret board (as well as other stuff) I want to treat well. Thanks Steve
Do you have any other batwing SGs in? Because I think the Kirk Douglas is more sculpted in the lower horn than regular '68 Standards. Looks closer to a 61 but with the big pickguard so it would be interesting to compare if possible.
Wood grain lottery: just picked up a Squier Vintage Modified Bass VI in 3-tone burst, almost got the newer one, but that’s Poplar and I read that as a tone wood it’s kind of meh… so the older V-mods are Basswood, and somehow mine wound up with some dancing figuring on the top and back! Never knew basswood could do that! That Custom, black just shows every flaw, scratch and fingerprint.
The World: here's my mint guitar. Trogly: it's not even very good. But, yes, we would love to see a Burst hunt. Maybe, like, once a month. Thang cue, Mr. Trogly. Ü
I use car scratch remover polish with a foam pad on a drill. Sounds sketchy but works amazing. Did a DIY les paul kit and used this method to buff tru oil into a mirror finish. Took like 25 coats and then steel wool between each to get it smooth enough to buff it but a guitar with a good finish already will buff out easily. Give it a try. You wont be disappointed.
Thank you that was very interesting.I really have to give you Kudo's on your channel and your business and your work ethics.I will be in touch.I am a Gibson guy but I am impressed with the Telecaster.I haven t gone to your link of your shop that had the Telecaster Thinline with the "F" for the F hole.
Why does Gibson not sell black hardshell cases for SGs from modern case collection anymore like they do for Les Pauls? ;/ I really want that black hard case
The gig bags are much better, apart from the tacky fake leather finish is it looks cheap. The Fender gig bags are on a different planet, really classy. I think I’d buy a Fender bag for the LP S…
I'm a burst guy. Not fond of painted Gibson guitars especially blue or green. The black customs are ok. Tobacco cherry and honey burst are my taste. You know your stuff for sure. I bought my first Tobacco burst les Paul in 1976 when I was 21 new from the store. So I've been around les Paul for way longer than you have been alive. But I like your channel and subscribed
I like the original Captain Kirk over the more recent one. The one thing I don’t understand is the fact that they put a rosewood fretboard instead of ebony.
Thats definitely a sweat stain. Deodorant? Lol. Your sweat does damage after a while, and this thing has went through the paces, so ..but, I love players grade guitars. Attitude and scars of many gigs and miles. Love it.
Are you going to review the new epiphone Billie joe Armstrong Just bout one and they are already on the secondary market for way more than it cost and it comes with an an awesome ha case
Hey Austin, when I looked at those GC Studios in person I thought they looked a little bit too shiny. Considering that I reached out to Guitar center on their website and asked if that was a nitro or a poly finish. The employee told me it was a polyurethane finish. What is your opinion on that… Can you confirm or deny anyway? Obviously you are more of an expert than myself or the dude at guitar center… Lol. Nice guitar though, I’m actually a huge fan of the studios. Personally I think they are the best value that Gibson makes. Like in a slimmer neck I would normally buy a 60s standard, but I absolutely despise the 61 pickups. As a matter of fact I just swapped those out on my brand new green ocean burst classic for a set of 490s.
Hello Trogly. Love your show ! I make a guitar rest called the Guitar Gurney. I would be glad to send you one to use for your guitar tear down inspections. Way sturdy support. It's on Reverb if you care to take a look... Thanks for the wonderful info and entertainment ! -Mark
Nice review of this guitar. I'm perplexed though as I don't know anyone that puts deodorant on their forearm. Maybe this guy just used a really short strap?
I really like that Gibson soft case. I didn’t know they came in black, I’ve only seen the brown. Anyone know if that’s real leather? I wish Epiphone offered those. The same case just with Epiphone on it. I would get one for my Wilshire Pro. Technically it’s called an Epiphone Custom Shop Wilshire Pro, but the phrase Epiphone Custom Shop sounds funny to me because I’m sure that’s more of a concept than an actual manufacturing facility. I could be wrong though.

Glarry, if you're out there. We need a guitar body with gloss black finish so Trogly can scratch it up and then use cutting polish on it! 😃

I'm 60, a first-time SG owner this year, and just noticed they were asymmetrical!

I noticed the first time I saw a lefty, it stands out for some reason.
The Manhattan Midnight is my favorite color from Gibson. They look fantastic in person.
I don’t even play guitar but I’m so fascinated with this show.
That black Les Paul… it’s a 40 year old guitar, that’s been played… as it should have been!
About that QC thing on the first unboxing. I had the same exact mark on my flying v that I purchased last month. Same exact mark and spot. Seems Gibson's QC in 2021 is lacking.
Photo of the pink hat or it didn’t happen.

There’s a guy at my local guitar shop that is actually named Logan Paul. I feel so bad for him.
Man I do too now..lol
Just go by L. Paul and people will think you're related to Les
@@thenameless3271 brilliant
"The wood grain lottery" hahaha I like that, even more so because I work with figured woods.
The house is in trogly!
Trogly went all kangaroo on that soft case.
Best comment
@@facurojas4477 🙏✌️
Woo Trog!!
I love the 2nd unboxing, it's the brand new for 2022... Gibson SG Air Guitar!
With the second unboxing i was utterly bamboozled by your tomfoolery
Loving your content. I am learning so much! I purchased my first ever Gibson, the "Raven," thanks to your video. Awesome stuff!
I’ve bought a Les Paul from the grandson of Raveen the Impossiblist In the back of the theater after the show his dad had just done. It was either really cool or I was hypnotized.
"Raise your price, so you can buy my guitar."

Nobody sends guitars out with hard shell cases unless you're paying $2,000 or more usually.

Is it possible that that crack on that black custom continues through the body from the bridge pickup to the neck? Looks like it right at 17:25.
That is the line left by the pickguard
Oh man, that blue Gibson is so very beautiful.
Cool guitars as always.....that blue studio is amazing
? I know I'm not a young guy but what Kirk Douglas are you speaking of???
you can learn about him in the review

I like to use some Meguiars and my orbital buffer coupled with a fine bonnet and the results work for me.

Is it just me or did the finish crack go between the pickups on the custom too?
I definitely want to own a norlin era custom lp in the future
Trogly single handedly changing the game!!!
Just had the one I bought arrive today. If you can ever part with the cash, it is absolutely worth it.
Could have bought one last month, a player's grade '77. Kind of kicking myself for not doing it. The price was very reasonable. :/
👏👏🎸Studios!!! I like them 🙃🤩🎸🎸🎸
So if the crack stopped, then whats the line between the pickups, is it a check that happens to be right aligned with the crack?
Black customs r awesome! Check out the album cover of The Cult Sonic Temple.
Billy Duffy is a rock and roll bad ass. Great cover, but cant decide which was better, SONIC TEMPLE or ELECTRIC. Both are awesome.
Do you have any other batwing SGs in? Because I think the Kirk Douglas is more sculpted in the lower horn than regular '68 Standards. Looks closer to a 61 but with the big pickguard so it would be interesting to compare if possible.
neck wear on the custom from playing slide??

Wow the battle scared Black Custom is wonderfully glorious' it will sound fantastic ' ...and with a series 2 chainsaw too.
Ok but where is that custom on your website!?
Beautiful guiter🎇🎇🎇
Love those ‘70s and ‘80s black Les Paul Customs, although I prefer the gold hardware.
I use car scratch remover polish with a foam pad on a drill. Sounds sketchy but works amazing. Did a DIY les paul kit and used this method to buff tru oil into a mirror finish. Took like 25 coats and then steel wool between each to get it smooth enough to buff it but a guitar with a good finish already will buff out easily. Give it a try. You wont be disappointed.
The green is nice on that cap'n Kirk. I have a like new 1st run been thinking about selling.
I love the metal gear sound effects!
Those could be shaws. 1980 was the first year, and a ton got date stamped like that. I personally have a pair from June 1980.
Those Captain Kirk SG guitars were so gorgeous!
Yaaaay little bench segment
G string fourth fret is a nice A maj pentatonic position FYI ;)
The neck finish ware is a wedding ring.

That 1st one is really cool.
Love the guitar and color,
HATE the “messed up burst thing.
So you got it from the internet?
Still looking for a standard or custom made the 39th day of 1982.

I love the 70’s flame top customs
Is that Kirk Douglas SG actually out of production? I swear I saw them in stock on the Gibson website the other day.
Trogly was an average kid , who no one understand....
Why does Gibson not sell black hardshell cases for SGs from modern case collection anymore like they do for Les Pauls? ;/ I really want that black hard case
I bought the virtuoso guitar polish because I saw you recommend it . This polish is great does a excellent job .

I love how we all have different tastes. I don't like bursts, usually just solid color guitars.
I dream of buying a trogly guitar..we trust you trogly...you seem like a honest seller..so yeah I dream of a beat up gibson...some day
I know your not to much of a bass guy but you should try to find a grabber for a good price. I own and love one
I just wish they finished the burst around the rest of the guitar...also Trogly's in la ¡¡¡CASA!!!
It makes me think of the blue hollow body that Chris daughtry plays
Sticker or playlist.
Maybe the tuner damage happened at the same time when they were aligned
I like the original Captain Kirk over the more recent one. The one thing I don’t understand is the fact that they put a rosewood fretboard instead of ebony.
