YYEESSSS do the SG Special Deluxe! I have a blue one that I got from a friend just before he passed away. He broke the neck from the body and sold it to me in parts for $200 back in 1999. Someone threw the neck out in the trash but I still have all the parts (some in other guitars) and will one day get a new neck and put her back together, but Trogley... you will absolutely fall in love with that guitar if you get one. I highly HIGHLY recommend you doing a review/documentation of one.
That's just the secret guitar center keeping the G string in tune on a Gibby stringing technique. You don't get that kind of expertise at other stores. Really gonna miss those guys.
Merry Christmas, brother Trog. For under $1000, I purchased knockoffs of a green quilted LP custom, creme '58 SG (Les Paul) custom 3 pu, and a sunburst ES-5 w/Bigsby. All three have gold hardware. The pictures didn't show the headstock, which had me wondering just what I was in for. But when they showed up, all three had traditional "Gibson" headstocks. They have excellent craftsmanship, brother that would rival Gibson. I ordered and received them just before the pandemic because their shop is shut down now. But the finest guitar I've ever owned or played whose tone far exceeds any Fender, Gibson, or PRS, is my older Grote semi-hollow 12-string, setup for 6. (I like the extra string space for fingered arpeggios.) Having a pronounced golden-brown tiger-stripe top and pick guard, with Fender 10's, the warm harmonic balance in the chords and the fatness in the melodic lines, I can hear that sound all day, brother Trog. I cannot say the same for any other instrument I've ever heard or played. I would urge you to look into this for your own tonal satisfaction.
Hey..man love your videos..get to learn about the different models of guitars..been playing guitar 40 years..and I love the instrument.....I've been buying new from AMS...but I look at pawn shops flea markets etc....keep up the great videos
I’ve gotten a good bit of gear from Musicians Friend. I used to look forward to getting their catalogs in the mail when I was in my teens, I’d drool over them for hours 😂
I own a 1963 Kalamazoo gibson classical. My father traded his Martin d28 for cash and the Gibson to pay for my birth. As a child Saturday mornings he played it and I sat on his bed. One morning I fell walking and put a knee and cracked the spruce face. You can still see the repair. Its a great playing classical.
6:38 I have One of these Gibson SG fadeds. Mine is a 2002. It is very comfortable, easy to play. I changed the pick ups for a Seymour Duncan jazz neck and a SD Jazz bridge (not to be confused with the JB) with a swapped Alnico 2 magnet. That thing is my no 1 guitar when I play with my band and record. Killer deal. Got mine for $618 after tax.
Great show as always bro! I hear ya about eBay sending me 15 emails just because I placed a bid, a simple one time you've been outbid would be nice! Lol. I'm really digging that all wood LP! So nice I like the wood pup covers, and those knobs look pretty cool too!! Thanks for the great show Austin, now I just gotta start looking for or make my own all wood LP! ,,,Mike (Ipswich River Guitars).
I bought the 1999 Gibson SG Deluxe Black from Guitar Center right after it listed, I don't know how it was still showing you on Musican Friend. I guess I paid way to much, rookie mistake. I'm really into Gibson Firebirds, so when I saw the three mini humbuckers I was sold. It was listed as excellent condition so maybe that'll justify the the price.
Hey Trogly, checkout Barlow guitars on reverb. His custom mades usually have wooden pickup covers, sometimes even cut out of the top for a perfect match.
First time I’ve heard of these new USA-made Casinos. That’s great, but I’ll stick to my Korean made lol. I’d be really interested to see you compare one to a Gibson ES-330
Hi Austin, Love your show man, you mentioned 2021 stuff leaking.... I’d love to see more white SG’s? Tribute or Standards as an option. ( I purchased a new white one around 1981’ish ( Mannies music store in Manhattan ) and then sold it like an idiot around 1985. If you’ve heard anything at all I’d love to hear about it. Thanks 🤙
Limited edition finishes aren't advertised and that's a good thing if you ask me. I bought a CME exclusive shell pink mustang bass, and it's one of the few mustang basses with a maple board. I had to hunt it down and it made me feel like it was a special bass for me. Yeah it's a bit selfish, but I feel like that's some of the appeal, stumbling on a guitar that's sorta rare and perfectly specd to you.
Elsewhere, I've commented something which I heard several weeks ago in another video. (I don't mind repeating it.) If Guitar Center is going to be liquidated but Musician's Friend is carrying on, it would be wise if Musician's Friend simply transferred into all the GC outlets in America and became the in-person equipment retailer.
The stringing thing, I've been told that Guitar Center does not do any work on used instruments that are bought in. They leave them, strings and all, in the state they are purchased. My local one had an Eastwood that had strings (old ones too) strung the wrong way. I mentioned it to a salesperson, he said he'd tell their tech. Went back two weeks later, still the wrong way. Mentioned it again, different guy said they wouldn't do anything. Guess management wants them selling and not fixing. It bothered me so much I just strung it back the right way while shopping there.
@@djohnson2499 I work a gc currently, and as long as the guitar is in good shape, it's usually from buy in to picture almost immediately. It's definitely a time thing, unless strings are broken, or frets look gross (they are usually one and the same), I like to change out the strings and clean up the frets if I have the time. If you're good at your job you can pick up on minor clean up jobs via osmosis from the tech.
bruh the green sparkle les Paul is the most doom metal guitar ever ps. you should check out luna sea violin bass, its perfect for goth covers of Beatles songs
Have you ever considered reviewing an Eastman? They make pretty well regarded Les Paul types that are handmade in China, would be interesting to see your take on them.
Hey I’m pretty sure Gibson stopped doing the crescent moon after 9/11/2001. Because of the connotation at the time. That’s why the first batch of the SGs had a crescent moon and the latter ones didn’t. I’m not 100 percent certain just what I’ve been told when I was working in the industry.
I had a chance to purchase the actual manufacturing moulds from the Hammond Organ company for drawbar knobs, the percussion tab switches, keys, etc.. Turned that down and let them go to smelter. Would have cost a fortune in shipping.
There are a two Eastland SB 59's on the GC site in the $1100 range. One has an open book headstock which I didn't know existed. Both are gone but they have an SB 59V for $1400. No way to know if it has Duncans or Lollars.
Anything after 2016 I stayed away from until they got the new GM. The three 2016 les Paul’s I bought are all amazing my traditional isn’t weight relived it’s so heavy but plays amazing my fire burst hp even better and the studio is great but rarely get played
I do enjoy watching things on your channel but I think it's myopic to just look at Gibson guitars. There are probably great deals or good stories on Fender or Gretsch guitars too.
No one has yet to reveal how they screw in those humbuckers on the HP models.. It amazes me that you haven't done a video on one to find out, given you're quite a curious person too. Edit: Oh well, you mentioned it yourself 😅
Have you ever tried to haggle with Guitar Center? GC don't haggle. The best you can hope for is to get a slight refund if the guitar arrives with undisclosed damage.
@@eduardo0796 op my bad, just thought of it in the spur of the moment and didn’t wanna forget. Haven’t had a chance to watch the new video, but I wanted to comment on the newest thing. Pumped for that review then👌🏻

Really cool SGS woohoo 🙌 I like the candy red one
Ok
The green machine was pretty cool I like that green burst
The green machine trogly it's calling you

That eBay rant was on point my friend.
That "bass boat" green & gold sparkle is awesome! You should get that one.
If nothing else, he will catch some hella nice fish with that thing.
Bass Boat Burst!
I think it looks like an avocado
8:03 "I would rather just see wood."

Your channel's so wholesome. Just a nice guy sharing his love of guitars with the world. 👍

One of those eps of yours I watch and am totally impressed w your Gibson knowledge
As an old school hot rodder, I love that metal flake green Les Paul!!
That all wood L.P. is stunning. Why you wouldn't rock one is beyond me! I bet it sounds incredible.
I’ve gotten a good bit of gear from Musicians Friend. I used to look forward to getting their catalogs in the mail when I was in my teens, I’d drool over them for hours 😂
"Check out that doofy headstock"- looks like an epiphone actually........
I saw the bridge on that Gibson ES with the trapeze tailpiece and initially thought, "Why the basketball goal and net?" HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Good interesting general info show tonight! This when trogly really hits his stride!!!!

That Inverness Green SG is to die for. I've been so close to swooping one from zZounds.
Thank you bro. I really enjoy your show!

I love these. Watch them during work

Working at our local music store, I’ve seen several custom restring jobs!😂
As always, another great video Trogly

That all wood les paul looks gorgeous
I saw that light burst SG in person! Haha awesome, i agree with you on that one
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
Guitar Center Tech is something that does not exist.
Hey Trogly, checkout Barlow guitars on reverb. His custom mades usually have wooden pickup covers, sometimes even cut out of the top for a perfect match.

3:28 that's the most Guitar Center thing ever.
For Les Paul’s signature to be considered less valuable than The Edge I find absolutely absurd.
I think it’s just a supply and demand thing but yeah I totally agree
There is just so many it takes away its value
Floor demos , returns and open box are sold as new
Doofy is right up Gibsons alley.
One of the best places to find weird and cool guitars are pawn shops
On the sixth day of guitarmas the internet gave to me another episode of guitar hunting with six reverse wound strings with trogly!
I think the Gibson Christmas lights should be the start of your next trade Tuesday!!
I love the blood orange. But cause of John Sykes I play black Gibson Les Paul's 🦅
Thanks a lot for the shopping trip, not much there today
I really like the sg guitar 🎸
Loving the 80’s background Porn misic👍🏻😜
Don't worry everyone, finishing checking on a Gibson is ok. But only on Gibson.
I can't wait these R fun
Really liked the Esquire review! I picked up an American Pro II Telecaster the other day. Have you checked that one out?
Hi Austin,

GC and MF employees should watch this show every morning before showing up to work.
So Early! Austin you should look into those Fender Telecaster Limited Series Run Rosewood in Antique Olive! You need a green tele in your collection!
That metal flake green LP looks like a bass boat! LOL

Tony Iommi's has the Crescent Moon inlays. That's what that's all about.
Troglys needs to start shopping at Music Go Round
Noice. Some good ol evenin trogly entertainment.
TROGLY
You are first woohoo
Guitar Center owns Musician's Friend. They both have the same used gear.
6:19 - 2013 SG 61RI... Ouch. I hate when they do that.
It's a 2013 STANDARD. There was no 61RI that year. Retail price was around 1.3kUSD lol
I would play that Green and Gold Sparkle in full power stance up front and proud! ;)
The only finish I'd like on an SG is when I finish owning it and sell it!
Trogly, ya missed a pretty decent price on a Modern Doublecut Standard on the GC/MF site
Welcome back, chocolate ice!
Hey please check out some custom 24 PRS's. Also maybe Eastman, Prestige and Collings. They're all kinda similar.
The stringing thing, I've been told that Guitar Center does not do any work on used instruments that are bought in. They leave them, strings and all, in the state they are purchased.
My local one had an Eastwood that had strings (old ones too) strung the wrong way. I mentioned it to a salesperson, he said he'd tell their tech. Went back two weeks later, still the wrong way. Mentioned it again, different guy said they wouldn't do anything. Guess management wants them selling and not fixing.
It bothered me so much I just strung it back the right way while shopping there.
If they cant change strings on a guitar...they need to work somewhere else
It's not that they can't, it's that they're not supposed to. Apparently
@@djohnson2499 I work a gc currently, and as long as the guitar is in good shape, it's usually from buy in to picture almost immediately.

If you're good at your job you can pick up on minor clean up jobs via osmosis from the tech.
OK let's go
I think those crescent moon inlays were something Gibson had previously done on fretboards in the 1930s, if I recall correctly?
I have some lights that are LPs and they are multi colored and they were cheap !
bruh the green sparkle les Paul is the most doom metal guitar ever
ps. you should check out luna sea violin bass, its perfect for goth covers of Beatles songs
I had a 1955 ES 5 Switchmaster in natural.
Have you ever considered reviewing an Eastman? They make pretty well regarded Les Paul types that are handmade in China, would be interesting to see your take on them.
I got lucky with the bust on mine. Tear drop all the way

Wow!
Pickups installed from the back reminds me of Danelectro.
Woohoo
Will you ever be having a look at Zemaitis metal top guitars ? Would be very interesting!
There are a two Eastland SB 59's on the GC site in the $1100 range. One has an open book headstock which I didn't know existed. Both are gone but they have an SB 59V for $1400. No way to know if it has Duncans or Lollars.
What are the odds you reviewing a 2006 epiphone 56 gold top les paul?
It sure is a funny world we live in where somebody would pay more for a Les Paul signed by The Edge and less for one signed by Les Paul lol .
Anything after 2016 I stayed away from until they got the new GM. The three 2016 les Paul’s I bought are all amazing my traditional isn’t weight relived it’s so heavy but plays amazing my fire burst hp even better and the studio is great but rarely get played
Some awesome guitars online there for sure, but I'd be worried about buying one then having it shipped to my home. May get damaged on the way.
I do enjoy watching things on your channel but I think it's myopic to just look at Gibson guitars. There are probably great deals or good stories on Fender or Gretsch guitars too.
GIBSON F-25, "F" was for FOLK MODEL.
The blood orange is PRS inspired
They don’t do much at all to make a buy in serviceable...or even clean up a lot of the used ones they buy in. It’s up to you to get it in shape lol
No one has yet to reveal how they screw in those humbuckers on the HP models.. It amazes me that you haven't done a video on one to find out, given you're quite a curious person too. Edit: Oh well, you mentioned it yourself 😅
Nice vid dude 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I couldn’t find the eBay listing for the Green and Gold Sparkle Les Paul. I wonder if it sold or got removed.
I kinda like that all wood Les Paul 😀
Good stuff
What are peoples thoughts on the early 2000’ limited finish studio’s?
Particularly the copper top?
9:53 "it looks MORESO like an acoustic." :) Vs "it looks MORE like an acoustic."
early video!
I'm going to check out your videos after this show
Will those string lights eventually turn yellow if you leave them on long enough?
Trogly! Not every acoustic is a USA TEXAN. Review it!
Guitar center tech is a laugh...every used Gibson I've tried out at GC is close to unplayable. One had a raised pickup knocking against the string
Please give Firebirds a little love!!
Have you ever tried to haggle with Guitar Center? GC don't haggle. The best you can hope for is to get a slight refund if the guitar arrives with undisclosed damage.
I found a really nice SG fly black with 57 pickups for 600 on gc used page
gotta save those sheckles
You should review one of the new USA Epiphone Casino's that are coming out
He literally said he will during the course of the video.
@@eduardo0796 op my bad, just thought of it in the spur of the moment and didn’t wanna forget. Haven’t had a chance to watch the new video, but I wanted to comment on the newest thing. Pumped for that review then👌🏻
Green sparkle is the best
Somebody's got to buy the green machine
