The Phantom Widow is Here! | 2021 Gibson Les Paul Custom Mod Collection Teal Blast Review

[@ramspencer5492]

Man. Buying guitars as a collector is so different than buying guitars as a player!

[@trippy_nation5300]

Couldn’t have said it better.

[@beefnacos6258]

Absolutely

[@MultiGoulash]

I agree, i have 5 guitars, each offer something different tonally. This LP i'd buy just to look at it

[@hkguitar1984]

Dang, I was even the first Like! Love the Teal color, what a beautiful LP Custom. EDIT, I have no idea why there are two similar comments from me!

[@aarons_guitars]

It’s stimulating to look at. I’d call it listerine burst

[@mertmunson1417]

Hahahahaha good call!!!!

[@rindred]

Aside from also finding a black backplate, the only thing this guitar needs is to have the pickguard sprayed with the same teal paint. That way, the middle white layer on it will match the body.

[@slagmaggot]

Yes I got a red and black one and did the pickguard and truss rod cover in red

[@av.punk.801]

Danny Phantom signature right here... ah my childhood :,) I miss that show more each day. Greetings and well wishes from Utah man!

[@Tensen01]

Awww man, this is probably the first guitar you've bought that I am truly jealous of you owning. And Les pauls arne't even my thing, but this guitar is perfect.

[@R3TR0R4V3]

Indeed! Love this one.

[@slixnoir]

I'd like to see you review a Rick Toone Guitar! They're super crazy looking, and I'd love to see your input on them!! Love your videos btw!

[@jimmyjames2022]

Yes, I knew it, Teal! Pretty! Abalone inlays would do it, rather than tinting the MOP. The brown back plate goes with the Teal duck theme, since ducks have brown tail feathers.

[@redsunsx01x]

I just got a modified Les Paul Custom Black with Custombucker 68s a few weeks ago and it does have a brown control plate cover.

[@joermnyc]

Sadly you might have to get an aftermarket one and stick the factory stock in the case.

[@hadtodoit4391]

How do I find out what kind of picks ups I've bought for my gibson

[@rocktorrocks]

I always miss the cool ones! What time do they list new guitars on the mod collection site? And anyone know what this teal widow was listed for? Can’t find it in the sold listings. The mod collection site isn’t the best to navigate.

[@jeffro.]

(@ 6:52) You keep saying it's blue... But I keep seeing green! Metallic teal, to be exact, which is more green than blue--you had it correct when you first opened the case. It's not bad, really, I like it! Except for the brown cover on the back!

[@bmac1205]

Can you show how that neck profile shape gauge thing works?

[@robbsps5games149]

Where can I buy the newest customs ?

[@iyhgtyea8028]

DOes anyone know what pickups are actually in this>?

[@donttalktome4696]

How does the finish age on a widow guitar? Does the painted over binding cause issues? I would be nervous about that.

[@texrex4580]

Looks good but why is this guitar tuned down half a step??

[@RJRonquillo]

Oh WOW!

[@HenritheHorse]

It's like Adam Jones under water! Really cool colour!

[@joermnyc]

The “learn to swim” burst. 😂

[@krabuh]

Bro I saw the thumbnail and thought it was a new Adam Jones custom....

[@Captain_Yata]

​@@joermnyc "Praying for rain" is the name of this guitar

[@jeffro.]

After hearing it, I really like the clarity of both p'ups. The bass tones don't overwhelm the other strings, so you hear 'em all. Got a good sound, with or w/o distortion... But, I didn't hear the nasal-ly tone that makes a guitar solo stand out. The bridge p'ups seemed to have fair amount of "quack," maybe it was just a combo of what you played and your amp EQ settings? IDK....

[@aldrickfondracul9297]

Okay. I'll admit it. I do apparently like the silverburst when it turns blue. I normally hate the way Gibson does the black vignette, but for whatever reason, it really works on this guitar. Personally, though, I think keeping the mother-of-pearl inlay was the right call. The abalone matches just a bit too well. The pearl, however, gives it more contrast and makes the fretboard pop a bit more.

[@bmac1205]

Cool! Lighting really makes it look more green in some cases and more blue in other cases.

[@ronsheehan]

The only cosmetic thing I’d change other than the brown control cavity cover is I’d swap the knobs for silver reflector tops

[@joeykelly5642]

Whoever bought this one and the purple custom, I’d love to see their collection - they have great taste

[@joaquinrodriguez206]

do you directly record your audio? or you voice over after recording?

[@schwenke069]

I know next to zero about painting guitars. They painted over whatever finish was there ... and then clear coated over that? Just curious.

[@barrygoins6900]

Does the cover have grounding

[@ericbgordon1575]

Does it still equate to a guitar for all seasons?

[@rustyweapon]

So is it more of the greenish or the blueish color? It's looks two different colors in each of the cameras

[@Greg-vd5om]

Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!

[@nathanielvargas3863]

Greg’s in the HOUSE!!!

[@hkguitar1984]

@@nathanielvargas3863 Greg’s in the House too

[@somethingbl]

That looks totally different depending which camera you're using. You should try to color correct or set their white balances identically.

[@clarkbabin9799]

When you opened the case this guitar looked more blue than anything. Once you pulled it out and did your best Banna White impression displaying it it looked more real like what I like to call gumby blue. I'm definitely intrigued by this guitar. Since I hot the latest SG from you I'm looking at some you get differently. I wouldnt replace the medallion but I'd sure replace the back plate with a black one.

[@fredzeppelin162]

YES ! - Turquoise inlays would look awesome too.

[@joshbosela6610]

Funny story, I actually photoshopped picture of a silverburst before this guitar first showed up online and used a teal filter, and it looked exactly like this does. I was trying to design a made to measure les paul custom for myself, but it looks like the demo shop already did the work for me!

[@IamMusicNerd]

I think those are indeed 57 classic pickups. I just got one from the Mod shop and it had 57 Classics in it as well. They are awesome.

[@hkguitar1984]

Unreal, I even had the first Like! What an awesome and beautiful LP Custom. Love the Teal color.

[@donscudiero534]

how about a silverburst/widowed 335?

[@ripperace]

I’m not much for green, but that one is cool! If it had green inlays, it would have looked like something Type-O-Negative would have played.

[@RhubaruNL]

Between the finish and the sound of the pickups, this is now my dream players guitar

[@joermnyc]

Curious if you saw the Fender Masterbuilt Robben Ford that Norm’s Rare Guitars just put up on their channel… it’s very double cut Gibson-eque… even has a tailpiece that looks like a TP-6…

[@dennishickey7194]

Tooling marks,overspray , orange peeling etc. Wouldn't bother me on a reasonably priced production guitar. Custom shop? Premium price? Just how much should one expect at this level?

[@FPSRunner]

I was trying to figure out why this guitar looks so different to all the other widow guitars but it’s the lack of a transparent flame maple top

[@daphnebell774]

What amp do you use?

[@wooferdevlin3571]

I can't teal you how munch I like it!! Gibson, the Widow Maker. I'm green with envy. It will always be in mint condition. Anyway, yes pleez, more colors. The green inlays look cool, but think of the labor - yikes!! Wolf/AIO make an Abalone top single cut, looks amazing. Thanx Mr. T. Ü

[@dbvetter7485]

Nice color for a Les Paul 😝. (Was it a silver burst originally? With that silver under that chip? Was it an Adam Jones?

[@9372duffy]

God Almighty that is by far the nicest widow yet. I want to paint the world in that color. Just gorgeous…Thank you for bringing it to us!

[@sassycat]

Burstbuckers are definitely an upgrade, wish I could have snapped it up first.

[@mburtondavis]

Man! Did you guys see all the Pelham blues in the demo shop right now!

[@ZitherBeast]

Yeah! Whoever did that paint job, they straight up knocked it out of the park. That is gorgeous.

[@willland1243]

Awesome color and blues/jazzy tones. It's really sweet Gibson L.P and you're right this is the first silver burst I would buy. Gorgeous! 🥰😍🤩 and would pair it with the purple one. What a beautiful dream set up.🤔🙄

[@allezjohn]

This LP Custom is sweet. Should be named Miami Vice Burst!! Thanks Austin, you do excellent content for us guitar nerds!!

[@Bakuretso]

WOW Man what amp and od do you use? It sounds so sweet! Im in love! BTW beautiful guitar!

[@disco4535]

Yes! I was hoping he got this one to document. Love the Widows

[@napesdrk1174]

It's maybe 6 different colors, depending on the light

[@kevinr.3542]

I see teal

[@jimadams8182]

That's a Les Paul that definitely looks better with the pick guard.

[@thebeaner687]

your right the fretboard inlats should be more blue in color,

[@robabraham4620]

Probably the best looking ‘widow’ yet and sounds awesome with a bit of dirt on those pickups. Lucky guy who picked that up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@primitiveT]

That thing is a little pitchy on the high end. I'd replace the neck pickup maybe. Even the Bridge was a slightly less pitchy. It just really screamed.

[@ErikDeMann]

I'm literally drooling here, man...What a stunningly beautiful guitar.

[@thomaskafafian2871]

Nice blue silver burst! As soon as I saw it! It’s a silver burst with blue tint. I love it though.

[@PastelComGini]

The neck position really shines on this one. I found the bridge too glassy.

[@bretolson8484]

This is my favourite you’ve demoed look and sound wise. I really enjoyed your playing again. Happy Holiday’s 🙏

[@scottbogfoot]

Keep requesting that you get the correct pu's sent to you for free, eventually theyll get their act together and pay someone to list them correctly if they loose enough sets of pu's. Are these ones what a silverburst would have come with? They take out the electronics to paint,I assume, so do they mix it up and reinstall the wrong ones at that point or were these the pu's it had the whole time and it was written down incorrectly? What about when time comes that you need to get warranty work done what will they say then when they look inside and it's not the same pickups that is in the description? Are there any baby pictures that come with these? If so is it the baby picture of the redo or is it the baby picture of the original silverburst?

[@jordanrichert905]

Are you keeping this for your collection or selling it?

[@keithmatry8939]

I like 57 classics 😎

[@basedguitarist731]

I think I saw this guitar in a dream sometime around 1992. I love it.

[@sagegracemusic5981]

I think it’s a silver burst that has been painted with blue lacquer

[@martinclayton7260]

That is truly one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen!

[@TheJeffcurran]

They should def do more of these on the silverburst base. Very cool.

[@markscarborough1018]

Slap some Mercedes & Petronas decals on that and you'll have an F1 themed guitar!

[@scapegoatiscariot2767]

I like the fact that they're recycling guitars they don't want to sell as they've been made. It may have been that they didn't have those pickups in stock when they were building the guitar and so chose greater quality instead of lesser to take his place. That could be possible. Stunning guitar, great video. 👍

[@notsosure7757]

It's one of those colours that I'd love to have, but would be cautious too buy. I think for the money these probably go for, I'd probably need a pay rise to justify (if that makes sense)

[@ernestschultz5065]

I think that guitar would look awesome all finish checked out

[@chris_2714]

I really like that colour. At least the back plate is easy to replace!

[@dbvetter7485]

I usually don’t like those color customs but that teal is nice! 👍. (Teal silver burst) Adam’s new guitar.

[@luminousbrilliance1711]

Naw-the color is too blue-LOL 🙂 I don't trust you anymore Trogly! 🙂 Happy Holidays to you and yours. 🙂

[@danielbreaux1842]

I love Custombuckers! They are my current absolute favorite. You felt how touch sensitive they are! If you dig in, they provide!!

[@holstorrsceadus1990]

Need a Axcess with these specs (yeah even the brown cavity cover)

[@patriotpizzaman]

Yes on the abalone inlays! That really popped for my taste!

[@elevenAD]

Man i have to be honest i like this but i thought the Tinsel Burst and the Christmas Tree Burst were Stunning! Both have been on my mind since i saw your video. Different strokes i guess.

[@scarecrow33]

I wanted to buy that one, but the money flow just wasn’t there at the time. It’s pretty awesome!

[@vernonhoover1387]

The backplate was a joke,but it's a nice looking custom.dig the ebony board but it should have an abr1

[@SilverTurtleZ28]

I saw this one get listed and KNEW it was going to you as soon as it sold. Nice score!

[@janick.aguero]

I really don't know how you don't have more subscribers, your content is great!!! Saludos desde Costa Rica!!❤️🤘🏻💙

[@krekcabnow2910]

Honestly I kinda like the back but I like brown and quirks

[@drippinglass]

How much was it?

[@R3TR0R4V3]

What a beauty! 😍 Definitely my favorite guitar I've seen so far. All it needs is a volute and it would be perfect! Why don't they put the burst on the back, neck & headstock on _all_ of them?! That looks so much cooler.. Way more rad than those lame black back. That's why I love mid 70's Norlin era LP's. I must own one someday! :)

[@rticle15]

What a beautiful finish

[@thetonycooper]

Yes to the fret inlays.

[@scottreigel9911]

Why does this guitar show up in the same week that tuition is due??

[@yourdrummer2034]

That's beautiful!!😍😍

[@ralphwest8156]

Beautiful ' ...always Custom tones are amazing but don't Abalone the markers - too blue for me '

[@31186dan]

Woah that binding looks fantastic

[@ArchieOnEarth]

How about Austin’s abalone or widowed inlay idea, but only at the 12th fret? That way you’d only be dipping a toe into color insanity.

[@veedubpunk]

I've never wanted a guitar so bad. I've watched this video so many times I can't even count. I've never seen one so beautiful let me know if you ever sell it I want. Will sell every instrument I own for it 😅

[@Blakeadam52]

i NEED a guitar in that teal blast color, MY GOD

[@salty_-ashh]

Plot twist: Gibson's sending Trogly the wrong pickups to promote their customer service

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Lovely looking guitar ,I'm not a Paul fan ,but that one is cool.

[@Joabsmusic]

Review the new epiphone 61 sg les Paul please

[@barrygoins6900]

Love the headstock
