[@garethbarlow5278]

Hi mate. The new LP copy that Trump is selling for a Gibson Custom price. Who makes it and where? You are the exact bloke to solve this mystery which Gibson will surely have to pursue.

[@zeusapollo8688]

I bet it was the mold for the epoxy repair

[@bryonkidder6199]

I don't know which was funnier about that SG, the repair or the price?... lol

[@jrumiano]

$5K for that disaster??? Yeah right... Good luck even getting $1K for that POS.

[@tonynew3047]

Never a truer word spoken.

[@vxidastronaut]

This should be considered "Outsider Art"

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Looks to me that the pelham SG was fixed by a plumber. That truss rod will never leak.

[@Dragon_rls]

Yeah. With that green paint, I wouldn’t have even noticed if you didn’t mention it😂😂😂.

[@StuStuT]

I'm thinking there might be some neck dive. lol

[@achimdg6335]

Ten to twelve minutes, that's my favourite duration of an episode. So I can easily watch before work and do all the other things I do before work.

[@Dragon_rls]

They should use the “ Free to good home”, for that franken S.G.

[@ethanhitchcock5431]

Love the faded Pelham on that SG , the double creams look cool , then...then... the headstock ' repair ' looks like a metal grilled cheeze sandwich , it's a work of art ! Dig the modified 77' Melody Maker ! Thanks Trog !

[@frankwebster9110]

I wonder what the Murphy shop would charge for that kind of relicing on the franken SG. Which i would definitely play.

[@Dragon_rls]

The buyers first born🤭.

[@lovesgibson]

$7,000-$12,000 if it was a famous guitar of a famous player

[@megacoal3451]

I would buy this just to fix it

[@jeffbarnard9246]

15 tonight, Trogly nice repair work tonight . Hey I guess whatever works. That was the Frankenstein model original. Wow freely another original Fishy too. Nice melody maker Thanx bud see ya.

[@Steven-re3tx]

Hello from everywhere,....

[@Shredward-dl2gp]

You absolutely need to review this Frankenstein and hang it in the museum

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Looks like he could incorporate it into his central heating system as well.

[@evrgreen_69]

The 3rd eye Franken SG was sick..I wanna see Murphy Labs do a run of dark mods in the same vein😎..Thanks Trogly!

[@paultrombetta]

That's one half a cyclone fence coupler. Awesome

[@vorpalblades]

Doesn't look like a coupler. The bends are all wonky. They usually have slotted holes and additional radius for the other fence sections. Probably just a mild steel plate.

[@sunwentai1]

"What an INTERESTING guitar!" - understatement of the century

[@jasonaustin3270]

After you fallout with my friends shop I'm pretty surprised you featured one of his guitars?

[@B__Mer]

Some of those stickers are still available at Head Line Records.

[@joermnyc]

Worst one I’ve seen on Reverb: someone selling a Reverend King Bolt but they took the six (yes six) screws out of the neck connection and put in long ZIP SCREWS complete with protruding bolt heads (making it a much more literal “bolt guitar”.) The seller claimed it made the neck connection “stronger”. As if 6 screws was not enough? My thinking is they somehow stripped out the original screw holes and only had zip screws.

[@robertlowery5586]

That SG is more rock-'n'-roll than ANYTHING in the Trogley museum.

[@chris_2714]

Other than that headstock "repair", that SG has a pretty sweet vibe going. Would definitely rock it, but not for $5k!

[@clarkbabin9799]

That brass knob looks like something from an old console stereo. If whoever was responsible for this handy work on that 65 SG thought about it they could've added more brass parts and called it steam punk. I don't think the Pelham blue is going to garner half of what they want. Having had to recover some seats like the bench seat in my boat I can tell you some of the arts and crafts stores carry that old cowhide look nawgahide or faux leather. No I didn't cover any guitar or my boat seats with that.

[@SemNomeMorreYoutube]

best repair ever, deserves to be in a punk band, I haven't gotten to the price part yet, but whatever it is, double it.

[@basildog007]

From the classic "I can fix ANYTHING with duct tape" to a "I can just fix anything"... Sad

[@SBanas]

The moment I've seen it on Reverb I knew You're gonna cover it😅 The price on it was also ridiculous.

[@kmydet]

this is one of the coolest pieces of shit ever, i'm in love with this thing

[@Photognick521]

Not as late as last night. Thanks haha

[@AlexEthier]

That thing RULES. Unreal.

[@kendrickblevins8859]

Looks like a brass badass bridge. Circa later seventies early eighties.

[@jimmyjames2022]

Poor SG Special. No wood glue or clamps available nearby, just lots of steel plate and bolts laying around? Maybe this repair was done out on an oil rig. Mines or remote construction camps still have carpenters. Likely cut/bruise your hand every time your down at the nut.

[@professor_corrin9350]

I'm genuinely kinda into the fish paul; don't know why but something about it speaks to me.

[@BlockDefender]

Not gonna lie, I thought there was no way a repair would be worse than my les paul studio headstock break that I glued back on with missing chunks but wow

[@robbnutter4665]

This poor thing was a Halloween monster special for sure...I don't care if this SG was blue or not - I wouldn't give ya five bucks much less five grand!

[@markjamesmeli2520]

I wonder if Gibson ever thought to put a box of their own parts, enough to assemble a Paul or an SG, but not both, just to see what folks would come up with.

[@terryoquinn8199]

This did nothing but hurt my feelings ! Who does that kind of crap to a guitar ? 🎸. Or to anything for that matter . The “Pelham” blue with metal plates , front and rear for 5K is ridiculous ! If you buy that you need help .

[@WormdrivE66]

Izzy sent me.

[@kierenmoore3236]

Pelham, Goldtop, Melody … Poor babies! 🥲

[@Photognick521]

I kinda want that FrankenSg but not for that price lol

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Z is for late.

[@grantcindrich]

Beat me! Was cheffin’ up for the lady tonight so I’m throwing a Z out there for good reason haha. Curious, have you seen HK on here recently? Miss the guy✌️

[@Jeff-li5ri]

Great candidate for a reneck or a scarf jointed new headstock.

[@PirateStyle2013]

5 Star is my local shop!

[@Kahuna54]

Man what a horrible repair job!

[@CraigMartin-be5jm]

The name Gibson can cause some people to over estimate the value of an instrument. Asking price may not always be a realistic deal. Fun to look

[@filtheejoe]

It's a bolt neck. Ala Frankenstein.

[@melich_5]

Playing Iron Man on this would really be fucking metal

[@rodbe3149]

Absolutely RELIC 😂

[@punker-gamer-trucker-guy]

I don't know if I'd even fix it. It's become its own monster! Playability is definitely questionable!

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

Kinda ugly?! Here I thought my grandpas old regal parlor guitar had the worst repair attempt. They should send it to Ted and see what he thinks.

[@johndaugherty4127]

I knew it would be an SG.

[@Za7a7aZ]

Somebody considered this the best guitar ever build…but not a very caring person. Would like to know the story about all these “modifications”.

[@davidpaul6656]

WTFF!? 😂🤣

[@jjbast]

Imagine the neck dive.

[@Intheflesh79]

Frankenstein butter 🧈

[@HimiJendrix-xk6bv]

I think it would be cool if Gibson picked one of these every month or so and kind of remade it and sold it

[@googoogjoobgoogoogjoob]

It's a typo - that should read $4.99 - and I would want double just to take it away.

[@BleedingDirt-j8n]

please buy and document the sg

[@edwarddreier2958]

He should, I mean it’s five grand I get it, but it would be a really fun thing to have, it’s got a gimmick, it’ll make people look, and if you want to be real cheeky he can put it in his museum as an example a repair jobs done wrong…

[@BleedingDirt-j8n]

@edwarddreier2958 lol fr man and I bet it would get a bunch of views too

[@danielcoldwell9137]

Trying to resell it would be interesting 😅

[@CastIronRestore]

He did

[@BleedingDirt-j8n]

@danielcoldwell9137 I'll buy it

[@PaulCooksStuff]

5k for frankenSG. Wow.

[@angrypantsman6034]

Bolt-on neck > bolt-on headstock

[@leomilani_gtr]

Oh, man...

[@pokeround]

Got to admire the claim that its condition is "Used - Fair".

[@dyeeb]

It burns! It burns! Nasty hobbitses! NOOO! It burns!

[@CaptainThunderfoot]

My eyes…

[@vorpalblades]

Custom volute.

[@sailinbob11]

Why not just remove the "repair" and fix it properly ? I'm a retired mega yacht builder. I could definitely fix it but $5,000 seems a touch pricey.

[@nickyd9361]

Pro repair job that....

[@aquenture]

11 min crew

[@Kahuna54]

To me it’s a shame the finish yellows and changes the blue to green. Does Gibson use this clear coat with the intent of it yellowing? I’m sure there are other finishes that won’t yellow with age.

[@bobbiejoe4726]

Thats not the worst repair you have ever seen. It is an exaggerated statement on Gibson headstock construction. What you need to do to make sure your headstock does not snap!!

[@russellhughes2270]

it's inverness green ???

[@grantcindrich]

Heavy metal yooo!!!

[@scottmartin356]

Wow!

[@k2rocksstl]

Why do we call this an SG? What's the difference between thos and a Les Paul in these years?

[@DROPTUNED]

Ruined a perfect platform for tony iommi sg...

[@RandyFricke]

That SG is pure sacrilege.

[@Dragon_rls]

Yeah. Indeed. Just say no to meth.

[@JamesJessenfedden]

I think it’s great. There should be more like them. Irreverence should always be a companion to what people consider sacred.

[@georgeoh-well8116]

Monkey lab - Xtra heavy relic.

[@garethbarlow5278]

The Trump LP. Who makes it and where? What are Gibson going to do about it?

[@vorpalblades]

Nothing

[@hectormutton2542]

✌️

[@MBRMrblueroads]

cRaZy

[@robertb5175]

TROGG!!!

[@jameshughes6049]

Howdy all!!!

[@hifibrony]

Drop the mic. Worst headstock repair ever.

[@MatthewSearles-un4qo]

No way would i spend money on that 65 sg.There's good vintage and then crap vintage.

[@johnguldin3722]

😂5gz that's I insane I'll give 50 bucks 🎉
