📚 Description: Ah yes, the Gibson Voodoo series. One of the original "dark" themed guitars that Gibson produced. Originally produced in the early 2000s within the Voodoo Sg, Explorer, Flying V and Les Paul range, in 2016, AMS/Zzounds reissued them in a new way. What are the differences between the original and the new ones? Let's discuss the specs of these beasts in today's video!

The Trogster!..... Trogly......
The Trogmiester!....Trogomania!..............Trogotastic!
Can you do me a solid and review a 2016, Les Paul Iced Tea Burst, Traditional?
Im curious as to what you like and dislike.
Anyways, love your content!
Keep on Rocking in the Free world....Or what's left of it!
The Trogly's Guitar Show Austin, you should be able to take a pickup resistance reading by placing the Ohmmeter Probe on each Volume Pot Terminal and the Pot's Ground/Case. No need to clip any wires! You can also measure the Pickup's Resistance by carefully placing the Ohmmeter's Needle Probes into the Quick-Connect Plug Terminals. I'll send you an email w/Diagrams & Photos so going forward you'll always be able to document the Pickup's D.C. Resistance/Ohms.
I almost bought one! You probably bought the one I was keeping watch on!! Unless you bought that one new of course. They are very cool guitars!
No. Never seen on b4. I want one!!
thanks again for another great the video trucks yeah it's funny I have for Monday at that the pickups on my 2017 firebird are called 496r and for 960 they happen to be of course mini humbuckers and then they have the 496r in the 500 like you have on this guitar I'm assuming those a full-size pickups is that true? I'm not able to see in case you haven't noticed my comments I'm severely bleakley blind so I don't know that confuses me all the time anyway thanks anyway I thought I'd throw that in there and I appreciate youyou always have an immense amount of information to give out in a very very enjoyable form so again I thank you sincerely yours, Bob the blind bedroom guitarist guitarist
Austin playing successfully Slayer is one of the most surprising thing I've seen lately! 👍
I enjoyed that. His Angel riff was kinda twangy and snappy.👍🏻
Love Slayer. Have never attempted to learn any of it. Think I want to tackle something from SEASONS IN THE ABYSS. Scary Halloween guitar observances.
I get swamp Ash if I'm outside in the heat too long...ha. Lol
swamp rash
I'm going to hazard a guess, and say you've spent some time in the military. Swamp as....is not a fun condition to contend with. I've never heard any of my civilian friends use the term.
@@matthewb8229 sadly I was to rebelios when I could have served I regretfully wish I would have joined. But have some freinds who served...and family have all the respect in the world for the sacrifice....stay safe my freind. Weird times..
The Slayer riff literally jumpscared me, I wasn't ready for the tone since it's late at night for me haha.
Ffs lol litterally as I started reading raining blood started playing at full blast and scared the shit outa me lol
Great heavy sound- I was impressed by the Slayer riff!
I work on the road and about six years ago I happened to stop by a Guitar Center in another city (about 90 minutes away) as I was traveling back home. The guy behind the counter was tuning an SG Menace someone had just traded in. I had never seen one and loved the look so I bought it on the spot. The problem was that GC has (or had - I don't know if they still do) a policy where they wouldn't sell a trade-in for a minimum of a week in case it is stolen. The store wouldn't mail it to me, even though I offered to pay, so I had to drive back and get it. Totally worth the headache as it was in PERFECT condition and they sold it to me for $300 (with the Gibson heavyweight gig bag). I've seen them on Ebay, Reverb, etc. recently for anywhere from $1,500 to well over $2,000. I love the guitar and, with the ebony fretboard, it's really different. Stay safe everyone. Cheers from Florida.
This just makes me wish I had money
Same
Tru tho
Me2!!
Never too soon to start saving up.
I love this guy, and his reviews! Although sponsored sometimes, he still has a way of giving an honest review! He's also quite humble. I appreciate his approach! I trust him!
My favourite demo you’ve ever done. Not a huge metal guy but damn did that give the guitar justice
I've been going back and forth for months on whether to pre order or not. This was timely and answered all my questions. Great video.
man this episode was best news for me , eversince i laid eyes on a voodoo back in 2004 or 2005 i loved it and i could not get my hands on one and then i realized they were discontinued , and now that i know its back in market im so happy . and yes i wanted to message you for it . GOD DAMN IT
I think it would be cooler as a sg since the sg has a darker vibe to it as it is
Idk man i think an sg would just be too usual looking, i mean who hasnt seen an all red sg? But a les paul in such a metal finish is pretty unique, especially authentic gibson
Nah because people will think you are playing acdc
I agree. Atleast for me, the Les Paul is such a classy shape I just prefer this finish on an SG.
I'm glad you finally reviewed one of those, I've been thinking about getting one.
If I didn't have my 2014 Traditional I would love to have one of these. I love the look of her....
yasssssssssssss trogly busting out the Slayer riff. New found respect. Bonus drop d rifffage. Great work.
Trogly's playing some nice slayer chops.. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I prefer Richlite to all other finger boards. So smooth, always nice and black, easy to clean, never needs oil, and it just feels fantastic under the fingertips
I always wanted one of these! I saw it in the AMS catalog and fell in love
You just became 2 notches cooler for the Slayer riff 🤘🏻. You sir are on your way to badassery.👊🏻
Oh! An Zzounds kicks major ass. I just discovered them a few months back. They next day ship a lot of stuff too! No extra charge. I ordered a stomp box at 3:00 in the afternoon. By 9:30 the next morning it was at my door 😳. Less than 19 hrs later! That’s impressive. If I need something with a quickness, I check with them first. Check it .
I couldn't more! Even with this pandemic, somehow they get it to you darn fast! I also (obviously) buy all my stuff from them! I think highly of them, and apperceive how they do business (letting you pay a little each month.)! You have good taste, guitar friend!
That flame is gorgeous.
I love that! Great playing BTW
Oooo, me like pretty red guitar! Everything is just right with this model, I wouldn't change a thing. Nice find!
Lovely. Been asking for a video on one of these for awhile.
Love the fret dot inlays
Me too, they remind me of blood moons!
Gotta love the left hand toggle switch in drop D while chugging. Classic move.
this review brought some memories to me... and my boy i don't know why you don't have a review on the gibson gothic series, those were pretty amazing guitars, my pal had the sg one but got into a trade-scam and ended up with a really ugly dean with floyd rose (ugh!) and an old beaten peavey bass :/, that guitar screamed man, it would be amazing to see it on your channel, on the other way, this voodoo here looks amazing it's begging to be played through a 6505 or something like that. amazing review!
I LOVE this Guitar!!
Never seen one like this b4..
Amazing!
I want one!!
Great Sound/ look!!
Austin, I enjoy your playing demos. I was watching Ace Frehley teach Shock Me and it dawned on me; your picking style is similar to his. Keep up the good work!
That is one of the sweetest LPs I've seen.
Absolutely fantastic guitar!
Those pick-ups sound amazing!
Hell yeah! Keep rippin on that slayer!
Love your channel Austin ! You’ve got me into buying and selling and trading working out good I just traded my way up to a brand new epiphone e3s335 along with a 10 channel mixing board and a fender strat and 3 basses so I’m doing pretty good and only about 3 months in
I did what your talking about a few years ago. Please dont take offense, I apologize if I come off as patronizing. For me, I had to learn to deal and trade with my head over my heart.it only took one or two nonmonetarialy sensible deals to put me back at the bottom. I went for things I WANTED over what was a smart money deal. But I had a blast doing it as well! Worked my way up to a nice G&L prototype with a single Bill Lawrence and a maple fretboard. Should have kept it, fell down from there. That is the one that got away, it was ugly but the greatest hard rockin work horse I ever plugged in. Good luck, have fun!
If the pups are quick plugs just unplug it and put the meter probes against the pins?
Unplug and throw a jumper on the north finish/south finish wires. Seriously though, it would have been super easy.
Or test at the connections
The problem with testing it on the PCB is the 4 conductors go to 4 pins which have 4 individual traces. You have to jump them somewhere or else you'd get a single coil.
Good lord, this thing has some serious snarl. I love it when Trogly covers instruments like this, because these (along with the Gothic Series, Dark Knight LP, Black Widow, etc...) are the kind of thing that could actually coax me into finally letting a Gibson into my house (albeit with a tailpiece swap and a string butler). Especially with that ceruse finish; always wanted an instrument with that.
nothing like a shiny black(or white,or red,or silverburst,or flamed maple) les paul custom.........they crush any of the gibson line up in looks and performance
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
Never thought I’d buy a Gibson until I saw this one. Will be ordering one today
This one looks really nice, also nice gimbal shots ;)
Sweet looking! Love the slayer.
Omg the one I was Sooooooo waiting for
I think I know what my next guitar is gonna be now thanks 🤘🏻
that looks amazing ! wow!!!!
Good job on the Slayer riffs🤘🤘🤘
I bought one from AMS. I am very happy with it. Looks cool and plays great. I like because it is very different from traditional Les Pauls. Thanks for this review. It is why I purchased it.
Awesome presentation! I'm a drummer but always wanted to learn the guitar ... now I'm gonna. I Love the LP Voodoo JuJu II model so much I just bought one. Subbed ... ^v^
I bought the last one on Reverb after he briefly showed this during the unboxing a few days ago. I was smitten with this model!
Very cool vibe to these! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥
That's the first Les Paul I've wanted to buy in decades!
This may be the coolest looking Les Paul I have ever seen.
Sounds great clean and even better with distortion. Love the dark music when you started with distortion. What ever the songs were seem to fit. I'd rock the Ju Ju out of it. Love the cast too.
I liked that you called the numbers on the knobs "Red lettering" Lol....i love the Voodoo Gibsons....now i gotta hunt for one!! Dammit!!
That guitar looks amazing
This is NICE
Also: yeah this gives me Hanneman vibes
Looks more like gary holt’s sigs
I like it! The explorer looks sick!
I like that little bit of Thunderhorse at 16:06 haha very fitting 🤘🏼
I own the SG variant and absolutely love it!
Bonus points for the Slayer riff 👍
That is a wicked looking guitar! I would totally buy one of those.
TOTAL AWESOMENESS AWARD & That's from A Fender Guy. Tanx Trogly ❤ 🇺🇸 💪 😁
Interesting guitar ...More for collecting then playing. I'd like to own one. Good show ty 😉
Found mine with the case and candy, virtually mint, on EBay for 1100! Really lucked out and very happy!
Voodoo Juju looks fantastic.
I want one
Dig this guitar and these models soooo hard.
I really dig the dot inlays on this, they make me think Blood Moon
great video! Beautiful guitar. Just a thought, you could probably get the pickups' reading at the switch, as it most likely sits in the same place in the circuit - right after pickups.
This is a very cool guitar. I love the look.
You might be able to take a resistance reading directly from the switch when the cover is removed. Either way, tugging the pickups loose at the PCB and temporarily pushing a clipped section of a G string into the Molex connectors can offer up readings for sure.
Wholesome Trogly
I remember seeing these back in the day.
IMPRESSIVE chugging there sir!!!
This looks so much like my 2016 Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded Cherry, mine (for some reason) is bright red cherry instead of a worn finish, which is beautiful!
The SG and explorers look awesome
That is really sharp.
Would’ve been cool If the dot inlays would’ve been little skulls.
with top hats!
@@BoltRM ....and hoop earrings \mm/
that's a great looking Gibson!
Hey Trogly.you should be able to get a reading of the pickups straight from the 3 way switch while you have the switch plate off.its worth a try.love that guitar though.thanks a bunch for what you do for us.cheers
This is easily the coolest looking Les Paul I've ever seen. Those red/white zebra pickups look awesome too. The only thing I'd change would be the inlays; I think the trapezoids would've looked better, especially if they did them up in a dark red
BRUTAL
That’s actually quite a good-sounding guitar. I’m surprised, as I’m not the core market for a guitar like this. I don’t play metal; I’m more of a classic rock/blues/country/jazz/funk sort of player, plus I’m a boomer (OK!). I was prepared for that thing to be all dark and muddy-sounding (yuck!), and instead it’s bright and spanky. I’d still rather have the SG version-easier on my old back-but if this is what Gibson’s up to these days I’m all for it!
Dude all you have to do to get the pickup reading is unplug the pickup and hit the pit in the quick connect. Cool ass guitar. Keep up good work and as always stay safe.
Red with a little bit of black looks soooo way cooler!
SLAYER!!
That case is pretty sweet.
I like the overall look. Everyone needs a red guitar. Wish it had adjustable pole pieces.
Nice look. Creative. Wish there was more creativity in the design market.
Holy shit Trogly plays Slayer 🤘🤘🤘
I'd give it a play.
Would be cool to see these done in deep dark reflex blue, with uv grain highlights (viewable under black light)
should be able to disconnect the pick ups, poke a pin in the connection (there is a type made for that in automotive stuff. Not sure what they are called. they are T shaped.) then you can get alligator clips to measure the readings.
Love the look of the new Voodoo. I thought about picking one up a few months ago, but the seller wanted over £1500 ($1950). You don’t see them often in the UK, but that was way too much. Maybe one day.
Gibson just don’t take as much time in “finishing their guitars” yet the price tag suggests they’ve spent hours/days building it
I ordered an SG Voodoo from zzounds back in February and it was horrible... The qc was horrendous and the pups were acting all weird. I sent it back and ordered the Epi RD Artisan and saved almost $700 ( RD was $899 ) That guitar shipped with not one issue and zzounds threw in a free setup and inspection. It's an amazing guitar that I'm super happy with but I really wanted the Voodoo SG so I was extremely bummed.. My 2009 Gibson has never had any issues. Really dissapointed with them. The neck had alot of figuring in it too like his.
Yeah I was more referring to the wood leftovers in the routing that Trogly pulled out. For this money it should be all shielded, and loved. Not chucked together and biffed in a box
I'm not a Gibson les paul fan but I would definitely rock that guitar
Swamp ash is awesome looking and my favorite looking guitars . I have my eye on a jackson pro
You could just unplug the pickups and get the ohm readings right off the quick connects.
Austin playing some Slayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!
You must have had some practice time recently. Good Job!
SLAYER! 🤟😝
Gibson really gave me the shaft. I bought a Gibson Les Paul recently. Two guitars that had received - defects on both Les Pauls. It was a battle from point A to point X - where I am at now.
Bought a Gibson Les Paul 2015 brand new loved the sound, but, got a broken head stock. The horrible G-tuners wouldn’t stop and cracked the headstock. They said initially, I did it. They agreed to take a look and that revealed a QC defect.
The only good thing is they upgraded the guitar price wise, but come to find out that Les Paul would be out of circulation post 2018. That Les Paul had five indentations/dings they painted over, part of the binding was crushed, the volume knob fell off in a month, plus a couple of other issues. That Les Paul should have firstly should have never passed QC and sent to me without knowing it would be deformed.
When I wrote about after months they responded and they suggested I send the guitar in for review. I told them I was seeking to buy another model in the near future, but wanted them to clean up the issues I was having before I did that. They had the photos I emailed them and I told them didn’t want to waste my time if they were not going to do anything.
I had the Les Paul packed up in late February, but had to wait for them to get back to the shop after COVID-19 (not their fault). I detailed that if they found no defects I would want them to give me the details of what they saw before they sent it back. Additionally, I advised that I consider to make alterations to the guitar (that I’d pay for). They received the guitar - stated there were no defects with the guitar and did a courtesy set up. THEY NEVER REACHED OUT to the customer and sent it back. I was so pissed that they wasted my time and energy and couldn’t even follow basic instructions. I asked what the dings were over and over again and received the same email response that there were no defects. BS! So Gibson’s QC sucks, customer service humors and belittles the customer, and can’t follow basic instructions.
Meanwhile, I keep getting emails about $59,000 reward for a ledger Gibson had stolen - who was sleeping at the switch for that one? The April 30-day Epiphone once a day give away that Agnesi had a hard-on for when Canadian contestants won. Plus the overseas giveaways.
Plenty of money for Slash. Damn it! Slash, Slash, Slash - how much did Gibson pay that guy for endless “special editions?” How about Clapton, Joe Perry, Alvin Lee estate, Tony Iommi, Parnell, Cantrell - who was hardly seen with a Gibson until lately. It never ends with that. Oh yeah, don’t forget about Slash and the one million models. For the love of God!
Plenty of loot for the Gibson Gazette and Gibson TV (not all bad content, but more money spent).
Crap tons of money for artist editions. Especially lately.
We saw a video of Gibson grinding up Gibson X guitars when you could have given them to kids or schools.
I have three Gibsons. I told them, hey I have all these problems with the last Gibson Les Paul and its replacement, but they no money or integrity to take care of the general customer paying good hard-earned money. They can lick the bottom of my boots right now. I am done with buying a new Gibson or anything in their family. You should probably do the same or be taken for a ride like me. Nice Job J.C. Curleigh, Mark Agnesi, and Cesar Gueikan ya rollin’ in the loot eh, boys? I will surely be taking shots at Gibson at any chance I get. Early and often! Hardcore!
SLAYER!!!!!!
I think that les Paul looks awesome
A guitar is beautiful tight metal mix dude
