I always loved Matt Heafy's Snofall Les Paul signature from Epiphone. Basically, this guitar but a LP with EMGs

[@roland8775]

the white fretboard fits the Dethklok universe so well, but I'm also surprised you never see any other companies making fun guitars (dethklok related or not) with a pure white fretboard because it looks super cool.

[@michaelcordero5588]

Ibanez made a all white sig bass, (fretboard too) to Fieldy from Korn. Looks beautiful.

[@john564holloway]

Agreed, Roland!

[@jmelara324]

Only other ones that come to mind are a Japanese Telecaster that trogly had on here and Matt Bellamy’s custom Manson Oryxs

[@billg6166]

They can be any color!

[@Chris_Lohmann]

The Epiphone Matt Heafy Snowfall (or Snøfall) Les Paul had an all white finish right down to the white phenolic fretboard just like this Snow Falcon Flying V.

[@Photognick521]

Conveniently snowed for the Snow Falcon

[@scottgarlandpresents2332]

Your playing has come a LONG way!!! That was awesome!

[@killemall1983]

but out of tune like always unfortunately

[@PastelComGini]

@@killemall1983 I guess he has a strong grip and have this problem with bigger frets.

[@jcrgtattoo333]

Nice guitar, don’t get to see you play heavy riffs much! Sounds good man!, hey the tone control will tame most of that ice picky scritch in the high gain, it’ll make everything sound better 😊

[@donaldbrower4706]

I have one of these and it is my pride and joy. unfortunately I stored mine next to an exterior basement wall in Michigan winter and the finish checked on me. sucks that it happened but I'm keeping this guitar forever, so no big deal.

[@MinhTran-lz8nk]

Bought mine just over a year ago, love it and so glad I got it before the inevitable price bump these will get by being featured on Trogly’s! One weird thing with mine is the tailpiece was set really high - haven’t noticed any issues but might screw it down further next time I change strings.

[@stephenstevens6573]

As a display, it would look cool with the band logo and under blacklight, with those pickups glowing madly! She's a beauty!!

[@john564holloway]

Couldn't have a better outdoor vibe than snow in the background when 'modeling' this axe! Definitely would ROCK this!

[@ErikSWE]

Had one of these on order but cancelled it because I wasn’t sure about getting a Flying V. Always regretted not going through with the purchase but also learned to buy first and decide later.

[@Joe___R]

If Gibson puts it back into production, it should be done with a urethane clearcoat installed of nitro. That would keep it from ever yellowing. I don't believe I have ever seen a modern white car become yellow over time, so a guitar definitely wouldn't.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Snow Falcon is beautiful.

[@rcyalater...2305]

Got the looks and the tone to match. I'm not a V guy, but I like this one!

[@clarkbabin9799]

That's a pretty awesome model but I think if I were to get one I'd have to go with the epiphone model. Austin you need to get you a loop station so you can really rock us putting your rythm on the track and jumping to your leads.

[@SB-qi7mv]

I've learned something new. I never heard of Brendon Smalls. My kids were small from mid 2000s until recently so I missed a lot while I was bulking up my SpongeBob Trivia knowledge. The fret board on the snow falcon makes it very striking. I thought that about the Bucket head Les Paul but I think the unconventional shape and proportions of the flying v make the white fret board look right at home.

[@tvviewer4500]

The off gassing getting contained in the case affects the metals more than the finish. The off gassing of the finish is the "damage" itself

[@vernonhoover1387]

Beautiful V!

[@Kahuna54]

Interesting guitars, I like white. One of my favorites is the White Falcon.

[@dynjarren8355]

This is the kind of guitar that gets stolen and you never see it again. Cool looking guitar! I was never into Flying Vs but some people are obsessed with them. I like that it’s all white!

[@derpi6250]

Is there any better way of reviewing a Dethklok guitar than playing Thunderhorse?

[@Warhearts]

I never pulled the trigger on the Gibson ver. when it first came out and thank god because i hate yellowing and would have had a heart attack if it came damaged. When the epiphone version came out, i asked Brendon Small on instagram if they would yellow as well and he said they fixed that issue for the epiphones(you might still see the comment where i ask him on Instagram) but i took too long to decide and they sold out. I would love to see a follow up video on the epiphone snow falcon to see how they actually aged. Also, it sucks they cancelled the snow horse but i didn't know you bought/reviewed the chibson version so ill have to check it out.

[@Trog]

Poly finishes tend to not age/yellow as badly as Nitro. If you leave them in the sun and smoke around them, they still will kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3LceWSqh7-geZo

[@BlutigeTranen]

I've wanted one of these for a long time. Maybe some day I'll have the money. Brendon is so good at what he does. Home Movies was great, Metalocalypse, he's directed music videos. Always entertaining.

[@snakezase2998]

Fucking love home movies

[@joshgreen2164]

That is stunning.

[@NexusLives]

I'd love to get one of these one day. Would look great with my Snofall. Love this style guitar, and just got one of those "Chibson" unlabeled Solid White Explorers. The Solid white look is probably the coolest look I've ever seen on a guitar.

[@leed818]

I have the Epiphone version of this and it's amazing. The neck is just fantastic and I love the feel of the fretboard. And of course, people fear my metal power when they see me wield this weapon of sonic destruction.

[@thevoxofreason8468]

Whoa! I remember when you reviewed one of these. It was back when you were collecting *Lez* Pauls.

[@lurklingX]

that snow falcon is amazing. reminds me of the thunderhorse? ghost horse? (can't remember the exact name but it was a similar vibe. white. might've had a little silver on the edges. REALLY wanted one. but these all white ones are so slick!)

[@settledownjs]

Out of curiosity, does the "retrobright" method only work for plastics or could it remove the yellowing on these white guitars?

[@russelllucas1043]

Nice to hear you're using some reverb today, makes a world of difference 🤘

[@paulraider2001]

Well that worked out. Snow Falcon review with snow on the ground for the outdoor B-Roll shots.

[@jeffhuddleston6381]

Love the coil splitting feature on this one. Sounds great!

[@beatmasterbossy]

I don't mind the yellowing, it's to be expected with nitro finishes.

[@shawnawesome7770]

Gorgeous, I'm not a v guy but I believe the white fretboard is what makes it amazing

[@victorbizmalassise3755]

I have one Snow Falcon here in Brazil. Amazing guitar!

[@Jacob-mo1io]

Trogly needs to get a Matt Heafy Snowfall les paul!

[@papasmamas1]

I love the whole monochromatic style, paintes fretboard, but Gibsob should do other collors too. A forest green colour, a red onez and a purple. A black too.

[@arustydodge2111]

I always learn so much from your channel. Thank you! Aren’t you worried about bringing that guitar outside, with the extreme temperature change? Asking to learn👍

[@scottgarlandpresents2332]

^^^^ That’s a scam, FYI.

[@mknewlan67]

@TheTroglyGuitarShow_1don’t even know how to spell okay. Scam.

[@RokDAWG1]

Vagina Guitars were producing guitars with that look of the Snow Falcon long before Gibson ever did & Gibson shut the company down. The best promotional thing ever done was the owner of Vagina Guitars paid to park his van right next to the NAMM Show & THOUSANDS of people (including celebrities) were taking pictures next to the van. Aside from seeming like a novelty name, the guitars were really awesome!

[@thesilverburstreserve]

I want this! I had the thunderhorse previously.

[@russellmcbride1242]

Dream guitar!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Always loved white V,'s on the account of ACCEPT. 🤘

[@jcedozer]

Ok I'm aware of the fact you will not know me but I been watching for so long I feel I know YOU ..lol..so..when I 1st started watching...I felt our playing ...our...hmmm....." chops" ..were about even ...as far as I could tell...BUT I must say my friend...you have blown past me and you may have lapped me at some point...your playing is REALLY advancing...keep it up bro....sounds great ...

[@caseysmith544]

Fun fact the show was sponsored by Gibson/Epiphone, Mashall, and the brand that invented the Big Muff peddle as well as the Dunlop locking straps.

[@petercadieux783]

"He's multi-talented in many ways." From the "department of redundancy department." I really enjoy your videos, though, Trogly. Glad you found another Snow Falcon!

[@steveshoemaker6881]

Have you ever checked out the 2007 SG Select. There weren’t many made and the were both heavy and unique. All maple sg. They were beautiful.

[@TexAgsArmyVet]

I saw an interview in which Brendan Small said he picked the white wood, I'm not going to try to spell it. Because it sounded so bright. He said it helped the heavy down tuned guitars not sound "muddy"

[@tommilitello198]

It’s not white wood,it’s laminated baked maple lol

[@rexrathtar3893]

Beautiful, beautiful guitar, even more so because they are only found in the wild north of Murmansk.

[@lorenmars5244]

My favorite is the 70s V with a pick gaurd but, with Godzilla EMG pickups!

[@jamiemcparland]

Man, I wish I would have bought one of these when they were new and cheap. I love these things!

[@BushidoPhoto]

You should have demo'd this by playing some surf rock music!

[@rheinhardtgrafvonthiesenha8185]

I’m usually a vintage guy or at least a reissue guy but I gotta say this is a pretty sick looking axe

[@svart_kors]

Couldn't love it more.

The Snow Falcon is amazing.

[@leviathan_is_me]

Man, this is BEAUTIFUL. I almost offered a chibson seller for one of the starshine Explorers, lol. Just couldn't bring myself to do it.

[@AlanCheong]

Loving those coil split clean sounds.

[@gordonuyehara3562]

Beautiful. I also like the Zemaitis metal front v.

[@boblabahh4893]

The binding on my Chibson is perfect 🤷🏻

[@eastwind32]

I had to get the Snow Falcon V and then ended up picking up a Chibson Snow Falcon Explorer too. YOUR FAULT AUSTIN! But they look great together.

[@arlo12345678910]

the thing sounds pretty dang good with those hot pickups!

[@texanfournow]

6:40 We even get snow for the Snow Falcon!

[@kikboy2086]

You should review a matt heafy snowfall les paul to complete the whole white fretboard trilogy on the channel (:

[@BackToTheBlues]

I'll never understand why no-one puts a Strat- style jack socket on the inside edge of the lower bout of the vee. That's where it is on the one I had made. It looks cool, and works brilliantly with a straight jack plug.

[@Nothing-gv8mv]

Brother to the Blue Falcon and his Wonder Dog sidekick

[@benjamingarvey8344]

Awesome review! During the clean demo, is that the Home Depot riff? 😂

[@juanmacaceres2702]

Is the headstock a veneer like regular Gibsons but finished over? Because that could be the cause of the yellowing, same for the Buckethead. That would be interesting

[@10100rsn]

Make that border some form of RZ Emilia purple and add a Bigsby B5 for a perfect snow themed guitar. Call it a "Gibson Snow Blight" or a "Gibson Snow Spirit" ...

[@verystrange2465]

I really appreciate and like this one. Normally not my style but you showed it very well. Great job there!👏

[@TheZooropaBaby]

now we need John McGuirk signature guitars

[@HeavyMetalSonicRM]

Just to carry around.

[@bagatuuri8070]

thats actualy really good sounding guitar whit that coilsplits.

[@1sttvbn]

Damn! I paid 2K for my 2020 white 70’s Flying V, and I didn’t get a white fretboard. That’s killer.

[@yourdrummer2034]

I really like the elongated headstock.. Or is it normal length and just looks longer than most?

[@ernestschultz5065]

Who remembers the band ANGEL?

[@geraldrauch1701]

greg guiffria??? i prob spelled that wrong...cheers brother!!!

[@saltpeter7429]

Did I read that Vito Bratta was a big fan of that band? And Eddie Trunk. Thanks for reminding me to check em out...

[@SnappyJCM800]

My favorite Dethklok song to play is Black Fire Upon Us

[@tedtriestech8864]

If only there was a snowfalcon explorer

[@lucwilson1]

Bro you seriously need to get a proper high gain amp to do the distortion demos

[@sonicsega1699]

this guitar earns a high rated falcon punch. i played the epiphone at samash a few years ago, it was gorgeous. now show me your grooves

[@Angry-Romper]

Question!!!!! I've had a Gibson Snow Falcon since 2014, Saldy life has gotten in the way and I haven't been able to play, as much as I used to. When I got mine, it was Mint, no issues what-so-ever. However, over time some issues started appearing, mostly in the way of the paint cracking on the sides, right next to the binding as (pointed out at 5:44 almost identical to mine) . Which is fine, I never really intended to sell it. But to my question! after having it for almost a decade, its only JUST starting to yellow now. Im not 100% sure on why not over the last 8 years, but now. but my question to you is, How in the world would I work on getting the yellow out!? Most projects I see in removing yellow from products require using Peroxide chemicals or fully submerging the item in other liquids, obviously that's a big no-go. Any ideas?!?!

[@Trog]

You don't remove the yellow. It is just part of the aging process. Leaving them in the case tends to yellow that model faster

[@Angry-Romper]

@@Trog fair enough, thank you for the reply!

[@sixstringer3783]

Beautiful guitar love the white not really a V guy myself but nice 👌

[@joshuanewburger]

awesome guitar-metalocalypse& brenden small as well.

[@jameshughes6049]

Howdy all!!

[@righty-o3585]

Face Fisted is also an awesome Dethklok song 🤘

[@smiling4206]

That guitar is sweet. Did I hear a little Revelation Mother Earth?

[@kbgrevolver4563]

I think I like the Epiphone Snow Falcon more. I think the 'snow burst' finish is more present on the Epiphone which I like. And yeah Gibson should make the Snow Horse Explorer. It'll be pricey but ayy I got credit cards lmao

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Such a great model V

[@liljibi]

Love it .stop tail peice and the rest of the specs

[@6V6band]

We had one of these at the same ash I worked at in about 2016?

[@Za7a7aZ]

Nobody asked you this before I think but...where can I find the tab?

[@morado131313]

and think, in just a few more years, it they will all be "yellow snow" falcons

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

It looks killer and best of all it doesn't let you down with the sound. Punchy fat and aggressive but not any nasty strident crap in the highs.

[@jjembleton]

I wonder if that was the one for sale in Toronto it’s not listed anymore 😢

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Is this the guitar used on the millennium falcon?

[@thelowmein9143]

Are you going to sell this one? Where can I buy it?

[@allisonholmesmusic97]

Hey that actually sounds pretty good. Not bad looking either

[@rheinhardtgrafvonthiesenha8185]

My God those pickups ouch! I’ve never heard pickups sound like that with a fairly low output readings. What kind of magnets are in those they’re ones to avoid. I don’t even think I’m given an opinion here as much as stating fact. Trogly knew they sounded bad too. But that’s just a pickup swap the axe is cool. But yeah those pups were absolute pants

[@derekkennedy7346]

You know what would be really cool is if they'd make an RC car that came back to you

[@606OnTheFly]

Trogly’s gallops caught me off guard

[@jameshughes6049]

Awesome V!!

[@Kahuna54]

Was that a song by the featured artist?

[@jp2246]

Very cool
