    It's so great when you point out things like the clown face, one paint job that looked like a bowling ball, a watermelon, etc... I just had an idea, to make a "What Trogly sees in guitars" compilation video! That would take a year...going through all your videos to pick out those little tidbits, but it would be worth it!!

    Yeah, there's a huge difference on some things on ESP vs LTD, the top carve on an Eclipse (Single cut) is much deeper and more pronounced on an ESP and pictures clearly show the contours on the ESP Snakebyte being much more pronounced as well.
    Macassar Ebony is a very streaky wood.

      When I was a teenager, I was playing in a heavy metal band (heavy metal sounds more wholesome to me) in a relatively small city; so when we played shows alot of the same bands would play.
      There was this dude in one of the bands that was 100% convinced that the only ESP guitars that exist are signature guitars...
      Dude drove me nuts. Tried to explain some things to him, wouldn't listen.

  • @leviathan_is_me
    @leviathan_is_me 3 місяці тому +10

    It's funny. Most active pickups you need a light touch to not get that string punch. Also, add in the baritone, and this is NOT in Trogs wheelhouse play wise, lol.

    • @leviathan_is_me
      @leviathan_is_me 3 місяці тому +1

      @APPEALtoFEAR
      Softer pick attack. Light flick of the wrist as opposed to the deliberate, hard punch that Trogly uses when playing higher gain tunes. Tends to stiffen up and lock the wrist, why his tremolo picking while palm muting is slow and off tempo 99% of the time. Like the gallop. It is almost like you want to vibrate, so the 2nd and 3rd plucks are coincidental to the 1st one. Hope this helps to explain. I'm not good at breaking things down if someone doesn't get what I say (which is my fault).

      There are so many little things that can affect someone's playing style. I used to be able to pick really fast, but I fractured my arm right below my shoulder a couple years ago, haven't been able to play nearly as fast ever since.

    James first had a SG with a baritone scale length, it was black with green flames and limited run. These snakebyte guitars are lawsuit explorers, they were initially the style as Gibsons but had to change the shape a bit. I have his book about his guitars thats how i know 😊

    I have this one and the ESP white snakebyte, both of which I managed to get before the sky rocketing prices. Absolutely love both of them! As much as I would love to see a Gibson signature guitar, I'm afraid they may jump on the fact that everybody wants it and charge way too much because they know they can. Because as much as I love Kirk, everyone has been champing to the bit for a James Hetfield Gibson signature for years.

    Damn that’s so sick, I love Metallica and they are one of my biggest inspirations for playing guitar. Hey Trogly I’ve been a huge fan for years, I’m a poor, broke guitarist who has no gear but an old crappy acoustic guitar. Is there any chance you could help a guitar player and fan out by donating a cheap electric guitar or know anyone who might be willing to donate an electric guitar to a struggling musician? I just want to play and create music again which was my only love in this world. I’m a good person and not someone trying to take advantage or anything shady. I gave you my honesty and transparency even though it embarrasses me. After losing my job during the pandemic I had a sort of mental health breakdown and because I couldn’t work I had to sell all my gear to survive with rent, bills and food. I pray to God each day for help and hope for one day to be blessed by the almighty, however it may happen. Take care sir, I apologize for the long message and embarrassing words that others are going to read. God bless everyone.

    Sounds crap overall. Nice looker though.

      It's the player here. Trogly is NOT a metal player in the slightest. Straight rocker. Metal actually requires a very light pick hand. He hits 'em hard. IMO, the guitar sounded fantastic for what it is supposed to be. Like seeing a house for what it could be as opposed to how the current dwellers have it, I guess.
