Hi Austin, can youb provide the URL for the luthiers that built the guitar? I would also like to have one of these built!
LOL Gibson's main competitor Chibson LOL maybe if they made seconds ? they could fool me ? LOL
If Gibson actually released this it would cost $40,000.00
hahaha true true. ! IT would be a one of a kind collectible AND $h1t hohohohoho lol 🤣
That’s just the down payment
Jeez ! How much is the Murphy Labs version going to cost ? 🤯
And it would be exactly the same quality
And it would break at the neck joint, for added authenticity
Trogly : $600 is way too much to spend on one of these
Also Trogly : I bet Gibson would only charge me $10,000 to make one 🤔
A random guitar made in some factory in the middle of nowhere with no value after paying vs an actual Gibson produced collectible guitar that will have very high collector value after paying.
I guess if he was gunna go for it he might as well go all in.
So who would have imagine that chibson actually solved the headstock dive gibsons are notorious for lol
The gold of this comment is not lost on all. 5 gorillian internet points, Vitor.
@@toohip I like your funny words
@@sebastianharris-aldred8057 OK
Actually, it's just SGs that are known for that problem but- still funny.
Love Trogly playing "Breaking the Law" with the Lawsuit guitar!
Finally a guitar I can use for home defense.
... or as a boat paddle! 😀
I never thought i would see someone explain what a MEME is
Hey, old guys watch this show too!
From now on, I'll be calling memes "inside joke on the internet"
To be fair, he showed his demographics in his father's day episode and it was 80% men between the ages of 35 and 60.
@@ryanfulldark2775 meme is a word that actually predates the internet.
I agree with Brett's earlier reply that it would make a very cool "headless" guitar. The Les Paul body as the headstock looks like a black "casper the ghost " on a stick. A "headless" Headstock guitar would be cool.
Simultaneously one of the most ridiculous and cool guitars I've seen in a long time 😅👍
Finally, a guitar worth the Gibson name.
Lol. 😂😂. Love Gibson Les Paul’s. Love ESP more 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
we gotta Hand it to Trogly! when it comes to meme guitars he put his Money where he's mouth IS🤘
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
".....but the tone underneath all the tuning instabilty was not that bad....."
There you go, you've summarised the Gibson experience right there in that one sentence. 8-)
I don't know, I might be betraying my lack of discernment but with distortion it actually sounded pretty good to me.
It kind of reminds me of Paul Stanley's rhythm tone in early KISS
I love Gibson guitars. I have three: a Les Paul Classic, SG Special, and Grace Potter Flying V. All are great in a sense but all have flaws: Tuning stability, neck dive, too heavy, strap pin position/off balance, etc. Amazing that after all these years Gibson has never really addressed any of these issues. I love the sound and the way they play (at least when sitting down) but otherwise give me a USA Schecter PT, Fender, or Reverend any day for gigs or playing standing up. All are far superior and not as expensive as Gibson. No brainer.
On the top three strings start with the string in the hole in the tuning pegs and wind upward from there that will solve most of your issues with the string angle and tuning stability I have a 57 less Paul gold top replica I never have problems with it staying in tune ever.
G would be way better if they ditched the "traditional" flaws and made them comfortable. No need for robots, just ergonomics.
Try a 1979 -1983 Tokai LS xxx Reborn , or Love Rock , Made in Japan 🇯🇵 and you will never look back again . Just my 2 cents …
That middle position sounds fantastic!
Probably because they're single-coil pickups with the humbucker outer appearence... common on cheap guitars
meme: "inside joke for the internet"
somebody help trogly he is a boomer trapped inside a millenial's body!
It would be cool if it had a regular headstock with the “headstock” body.
And I'd bought a 2nd-hand MIJ Yamato LP copy from the 70's in the early 90's that was quite a well-made guitar (especially at that low price of $110), but I eventually found out it had fake humbuckers with only 1 coil, as described here by Austin. And it seems this used to be a fairly common thing among Japanese guitar manufacturers back then, too!
Yeah but a lot of those pickups are P90s, in a 'bucker configuration.
I have two sets of them
My second guitar , mid 80's was a Korean made Satellite, LP Custom lookalike but with a bolt on neck. Humbucker covers hiding single bar magnets . Extremely microphonic as I recall.
I wouldn't say "common", all my LP's are Japanese, and one over 40 years old, sensational quality and really good pickups, Look up "Dry Z" pickups, or "Dry 1982" pickups, they can be very expensive and extremely hard to get. My guitars are Greco, Tokai, Burny and Bacchus. Gibson killers...
Now it's Gretsch?
My 1985 Hondo “Les Paul” had single coils disguised as humbuckers.
Breaking the law, I see what you did there😅
The binding is the coolest part.
I have two lefty Paul Reed Smiths I got from Ali Express, gutted both, went back with all genuine parts. LOVE them. I got them before PRS even sold leftys.
Where is RONDO BONDO, HK Guitars, and Biker Jon? It can’t be an official video without them.
Would look great if the headstock had minature pickups and assorted hardware.
Was thinking this would make an interesting headless guitar. You'd still keep a sizeable nub on the end but I think it would just fit right in with the weirdness
It needs a Flying V shaped headstock
Headless defies the point, which is to have the headstock as a body and the body as headstock. And the headstock must be LP shaped because the body is the LP's headstock. It's a "reversed" guitar. If you put a V headstock, as someone mentioned, then the body must have the shape of the Flying V headstock to match.
Dang, the guitar does sound good! I think you need something like a "String Butler" to straighten out the stings from the tuners to the nut. Maybe they'd make you a custom one for fun.
Maybe a string butler that looks like mini pickups!
@@ladyluckdrums ha!!
Why on earth didn't you get them to inlay 'Trogly' on the headstock and body ? Would have been so cool :)
.. it was already built. Great idea though . "Trogly's" in Gibson font.
@@miserychannel666 Oh yeha in the Gibson font of course ! Tokai style :)
He could even get a really good one made for a few grand, then use it as the channel mascot and write it off tax wise as a business expense.
imagine if someone made a Fender lawsuit proof guitar
Maybe the guy could've put firebird tuners on this thing. I actually like the headstock body but the body headstock just looks wierd except from that one angle.just imagine if one was done from a flying V a firebird or an explorer. That thing you put on the neck to show it's shape headstock and near body looks like a baseball bat. I'm glad to see I'm not th he only one that eventually gets holy shirts even though I spray for pests. I have to say this is unique. Think I'd have gone with black hardware and pickups and painted over to look more like a headstock then painted the hardware and pickups or put decals on the body.
That Seymour Duncan joke, LOL! 😂👍
What amp you using for the distorsion?
In general, when you see nickel-silver baseplates on a humbucker, it's a sign that it may be a decently made pickup. The super cheap junk always has the bronze baseplates. I've used a number of no name ebay humbuckers with alnico magnets and nickel-silver baseplates and they've been very good.
I got one of those Jimmy Page Chibsons a while back, around the time all those videos were hitting, just to see what was up with them. It's about as he described, feels like a mid range Epi, but with less QC. You can make them nice, but you can make anything nice, a good walll hanger for people who just want a guitar hanging around
Yeah. I figure all I'm getting if I buy a Chibson is the delightful feeling of wondering if it will get seized in customs.
If I want a backup guitar to put a good pickup and pots in, I can just buy a used Epiphone or one of the other many copies that don't say "Gibson" on them, and not worry about it.
Frankly, unless someone is looking to screw people over by flipping them pretending they're real, I just don't get the Chibson appeal.
I can imagine a variation on this idea that Gibson might be more amenable to making: this headstock-shaped body, but with a regular headstock. The body and headstock as funhouse-mirror images.
and a second guitar that's just body-body to make it a collectible set lmfao
I would definitely swap the tuners for tone / volume knobs and swap the volume tone knobs for tuning heads :)
I'm guessing the next guitar review will be the infamous "Durst Burst".
I would put a TP6 (instead of Steinberger Tuners or a String-tree) on the headstock area, and fit the TP6 right where it would usually go, that way you could tune the strings, it would be a little bit of work trying to figure how to do it, but it may work.
What are you using to mic 🎙 up your amp? Sounds great! Love this guitar 😆!
Austin, do you have a canoe, just thinking, might be a good fishing poll too! Thanks for all of the work that you do on these document videos!
Haha, I actually like the body shape, it just works. I would chop the headstock down on a band saw and get a proper set of tuners on it though. Would have been better with an inverted flying V on the headstock, inaccurate as that may be given the V uses a different headstock design but still.
The cool thing about that body is, you can bump into and annoy your singer or other guitarist from an extra foot away without even trying. So that's a bonus. :p
Banjo-style tuners would have made the strings fit better onto the headstock. Freaky but I actually like it!!
If Gibson did make this, they may find themselves up for a law suit now 😁
Headstock-break-proof!
🥱
Interesting that the headstock is a left handed LP body.
The ZW Coffin is *exactly* what I was thinking of! Also, the fretboard looks surprisingly ok!
Where can I find one of these?!
Yet again proof; you don't need an expensive guitar if you have a decent amp 😉
Why would you cover part of the diamond with the tail piece?
Quite amusing. Sounded really rather amazing given its provenance. I think you are on to something making one with real parts. I would give up on the crap electronics if I could get that kind of tone. I am frustrated by the crooked neck. You mentioned the crooked long neck tenon. Did you notice the last fret was also crooked in line with the body? Means to me the whole neck is 2° off. At least.
Thanks for sharing, Austin! Very interesting axe! Definitely impressed with the sound and the tone knobs.
That's actually hilariously COOL. It would be cool just as both a conversation piece and some wall art. I love it.
I love the body shape especially with the custom decal. How cool would this guitar be with a "real" headstock? I could imagine that it is also ergonomically easy to hold. Thank you for your efforts.
you know if they could fix the tuner situation, could totally see something like this coming out of Eastwood in their Devo Collection with their recreations of Devo's Modified Gibson models...
I’m honestly surprised to see it went back together after you took it apart.
I'm ready to buy one. Where can one purchase one?
that guitar feels like a fever dream😂
Or an Acid trip , man ✌️🥳🎸
The body plus a Seagull / Music Man headstock would make a really cool usable guitar.
The headstock shape for the body is actually sorta ok. but the body shape for the headstock is awful. most Chibsons have bolt on necks but this one has a set neck. that's too bad because if a person liked the body shape and really wanted to make a player guitar out of it. there are a bunch of outfits that sell necks on Amazon and eBay. that range from poor quality to fairly good quality. in fact they sell set necks also, but I wouldn't recommend trying to change a set neck on a chibson. you never know what kind of fitment issue you would run into. there's a company called Kimise that makes pretty good quality necks. and these outfits make all kinds of model necks for Fender stratocaster and telecaster guitars. and they have necks for many different Gibson type guitars, like the regular open book headstock, and there are necks that have explorer, flying V, and other shapes. hell they even have the snake head shape headstock. and a person can also purchase necks that have just paddle for the headstock. and a person can cut out any shape they want out of them. and they can be purchased in various ranges of finishing, from unfinished to completely finished. and a person can get them with the peg head holes already drilled out or not. so if a person thought they would like to make a player guitar out of one. they get rid of that body shaped headstock and have a double headstock guitar. and a person can get all kinds of hardware to make a guitar that would play pretty good. including decent tuning machines, bridges, and and stop bars, and pots, and switches, and pickups. in fact Stew Mac sells all kinds hardware that is pretty good quality. so a person could make a relatively good player out of one say if they wanted to gig such a body shape. although I'm not sure why myself. but there are different strokes for different folks.
Does anyone know why epiphone doesn’t include Gibson pickups? Cost? Defeats the purpose imo
I’ve seen this done with a Fender Jazz or Precision Bass. There’s a photo of a guy playing it live.
Ironically, the arrangement of the tuning machines at the top reminds me of the Dean Signature Michael Schenker V model.
That's a seriously cool geetar, the wierd and wonderfull stuff you find is always ace.
Top stuff as ever sir.
That's awesome, I would love to have it hanging in my music room. In fact- I may build one- doesn't have to sound good after all- just look cool.
Throw a couple of Moderne string guides on that head stock and it might have better tuning stability. Overall, a ridiculous, yet cool guitar.
The v headstock would work perfectly
The shot of you holding it with the headstock against you looked crazy. At an angle it looks like you’re using a super wide angle lens
I think the tailpiece should be on the Headstock/neck and the tuners should go on the headstock/body lol
Gibson head stock shape body, PRS neck with inlays, and Big head Fender headstock, Top shelf Grover locking tuners, ,,1 lipstick, 1 p90, 1 humbucker, and all the knobs w/ 9 way selector switch... heaven or hell?
If you ever hire a luthier to make you a proper one these may I suggest no tuners at the headstock at all and do like a headless bridge, hipshot makes pretty decent looking ones actually.
I like that the cutaway allows easier play all the way down the neck. Definitely an eye catching gigging machine!
And up the neck too! Right up to the treble tuning keys even!
Zakk also has help sell so many guitars for Gibson for literally 35 years and still he only got it after 20 years of playing with ozzy
I think this guitar actually looks better than Gibson's Gold Fish Cracker with the Banana Head Stock for the 5k price tag !!!!! Definitely, a Fender Strat Head Stock on the other end would have made it perfect !!
Well if you are determined enough you can turn any thing into a guitar! We are adding a room on I wonder if I can dig through the offall from the construction and make a Tele?
So I'm just wondering, how likely would that body snap?
This is very cool. They just should've made the headstock in reverse, so it doesn't look like a lefty. But that's being picky, it is an awesome concept.
I was thinking the same thing.
Do you think you’ll bid on anything at Alex Lifeson’s auction? There’s a ton of Gibson stuff
Some of those Chinese clone luthiers actually do a great job, with regards to the body and neck. Pickups and electronics are usually about as cheap as you can get though. I have a guitar of Chinese origin I’m really happy with, after getting decent pickups and electronics into it. And it came with Grover Rotormatics, which I’m convinced are actually real, as they seem to have a very high gear ratio.
I bought a 10s guitar. It’s a lp style but not a Gibson clone. I’m really happy with it. Stays in tune better then some esp guitars I have
Dr Groovy used to feature weird guitars like the backwards Stratocaster and those melted guitars on his channel.
Play 3 lock box. Sammy used a LP to record the song.
Oh Yeah
Every time I look at the head-stock all I can see is Squidward's head from Spongebob. hahaha
The headstock body is awesome but not so sure about the body headstock
Gotta pick up a a Devo “whip it” Les Paul. They have a reverse droopy cut- way horn. Eastwood made them for an ittle while.
Not only lawsuit, but reason proof. WTF? 🤣 … yes; I get it but, man, still. 🤷♂️
Trogly ,love the "Paul Les" ! Definitive proof the Chisbon manufacturers get it "bass- ackwards". !! Keep Slash's hands off it,we don't want this one saving Gibson !
I recently got one from an eBay seller that has all the labels. It not only looks good but it plays and sounds decent. I am going to change all the hardware and electronics so I can pull it out at a gig and use it on a couple of songs for the shock value… should be fun!
Lol access to high frets on this much better than on an actual les Paul
Gibson - keep the headstock same as the body -and it would sell.
I agree 100% soften up heel joint a little. It is actually a beautiful shape if your into the bo diddly style.
It has an aura around the headstock against the black background when you play it. 😂
*Check out Stig Pedersen* *Bass Backwards 2-string Strat*
Giant Strat headstock fo a body
it sounds very well I must say
Wouldn’t be that bad with a normal headstock.
Two headed monster
What a hoot, this is a fun interprtation of the reverse headstock!
After the whole "Play Authentic" fiasco, Gibson should do this. I think if they want to build some good faith with guitar players they should learn to laugh a little bit. I think it would help the perception of the company with some players. It's not like the market for Gibson guitars has suddenly diminished because of their body styles being so popular.
i usually never stay for the demos but…this sounds sick!!!
So… would a headstock break be a body break?
tbh IT didn't Sound half Bad and the fretboard Looks kinda good hehe
It looks soooooo weird to see a guitar in that manufacturing method!!!😂 But, it does have a "cool factor," and certainly is a conversational piece!!!!!
If your interested... I do know someone who is a manufacturer of custom logo's, stickers and just exactly what you are looking for!!!! If your interested, let me know, and shoot me out your email address in the comment section, I will them forward you his email address as well!!!!!!!!
ANYWAY, KEEP ON KEEPING ON BROTHER ROCKER!!!!!!!!!!
PEACE !!!!!!!!!!🤘🏼
P.ost S.cript... I would love to see you or anyone who's guitar skills are good enough to do the damn near impossible... that is............
"TO POLISH A TERD" into shining glory, then record a few tracks, while watching the upcoming guitar players try and figureout, "HOW DID HE GET THAT SOUND!??!" 😆😅😂🤣
Also, the "Judas Priest" lick was most appropriate, ya know, seeing as how they are being inducted into the R-n-R Hall of Fame this year!!!! 🤗👍🏼
Hilarious guitar! Nice take on "lawsuit" with Priest's "Breakin' the Law"!! 🤣👍
a modified or home made string butler would be good on that
Hate to admit it, but It's absolutely fuckinig brilliant!
Best Jam Room Decoration EVER.
I want a hollowbody headstock with tremolo at the nut!
