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! 😃

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@judas2891]

Oh man, that blue Gibson is so very beautiful.

[@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.

[@calebward5924]

With the second unboxing i was utterly bamboozled by your tomfoolery

[@Nothing-gv8mv]

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

[@jonathanhudak2059]

Love that Kirk Douglas SG Custom! The Black Les Paul Custom for 1980 is in pretty nice shape... Cool guitar as well

[@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 :)

[@austinledley]

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

[@joshuataft5541]

Man I do too now..lol

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?

Love those ‘70s and ‘80s black Les Paul Customs, although I prefer the gold hardware.

[@verruckterwissenschaftler]

"Raise your price, so you can buy my guitar."

[@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.

[@stevebrown5253]

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

[@misterghee1]

The blackburst makes it visually smaller niiiice😜👍

[@Daddy53751]

[@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 🤘🔨

[@tedtriestech8864]

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

[@duanewelsh5611]

The green is nice on that cap'n Kirk. I have a like new 1st run been thinking about selling.

[@jefflitchfield4950]

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.

[@heavymetal19610]

Great episode, in depth and comprehensive! Cheers!

[@scottbogfoot]

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?

[@djencode]

Ok but where is that custom on your website!?

G string fourth fret is a nice A maj pentatonic position FYI ;)

[@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.

[@larryburwell8550]

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

[@216trixie]

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

[@wooferdevlin3571]

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

[@saltymakerreed5983]

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.

[@Trog]

That is the line left by the pickguard

[@theburn966]

It makes me think of the blue hollow body that Chris daughtry plays

I bought the virtuoso guitar polish because I saw you recommend it . This polish is great does a excellent job .

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.

[@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.

[@raytorvalds3699]

It's not leather. It's vinyl. As for "Epiphone Custom Shop", you are right on that one.

[@seanharris200]

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.

[@Trog]

That CSR had no idea what they were talking about. All Gibsons are Nitro (except a small run in the 90s/2000s)
