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! 😃

[@DrummerKeithScott]

I don’t even play guitar but I’m so fascinated with this show.

[@Dan.Solo.Chicago]

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.

[@216trixie]

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

[@GrayEdenfield]

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.

[@Dan.Solo.Chicago]

@@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.

[@brymills]

That black Les Paul… it’s a 40 year old guitar, that’s been played… as it should have been!

There’s a guy at my local guitar shop that is actually named Logan Paul. I feel so bad for him.

[@jwrocks83]

Loving your content. I am learning so much! I purchased my first ever Gibson, the "Raven," thanks to your video. Awesome stuff!

[@clarkbabin9799]

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.

[@robbie5984]

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]

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

[@robbie5984]

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.

[@judas2891]

Oh man, that blue Gibson is so very beautiful.

[@joermnyc]

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.

[@michaelmenkes8085]

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.

[@Taranakiwi]

Just had the one I bought arrive today. If you can ever part with the cash, it is absolutely worth it.

[@justinkase8642]

Could have bought one last month, a player's grade '77. Kind of kicking myself for not doing it. The price was very reasonable. :/

[@markfisher2282]

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.

[@phoenixlandingstudio6594]

Black customs r awesome! Check out the album cover of The Cult Sonic Temple.

[@saltpeter7429]

Billy Duffy is a rock and roll bad ass. Great cover, but cant decide which was better, SONIC TEMPLE or ELECTRIC. Both are awesome.

[@djencode]

Ok but where is that custom on your website!?

[@tedtriestech8864]

Is it just me or did the finish crack go between the pickups on the custom too?

[@barflin]

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?

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Cool guitars as always.....that blue studio is amazing

[@MastaVo]

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 :)

[@duncanelms8792]

So you got it from the internet?

[@knedy]

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.

[@misterghee1]

The blackburst makes it visually smaller niiiice😜👍

[@billyblackwell3495]

The neck finish ware is a wedding ring.

[@PolishHammer]

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 🤘🔨

[@mariuszw9665]

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

[@2002kid]

4:42 i can't believe trogly managed to get invisible man's guitar 0_0

[@thenameless3271]

I like your name, how'd you do it?

[@doknox]

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.

[@jerrywalaszek2473]

? I know I'm not a young guy but what Kirk Douglas are you speaking of???

[@Trog]

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.

[@216trixie]

I love how we all have different tastes. I don't like bursts, usually just solid color guitars.

[@Dan.Solo.Chicago]

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.
