@@davidstargle5123 The horns don't seem to taper as much as the S-1's I've seen. It does almost look more like a Gibson Les Paul DC. Whomever fitted that for a Kahler was a madman. Which was the style at the time...
@@naughtscribe maybe, The S1 custom I had was more of an SG style body carve but the older models are more squared around the edge, like the earlier S1 elites, either way pretty crazy to throw a kahler on it, but to each his own.
It still messes with my brain those 80s Vs with Kahlers have such high asking prices. In my early 90's head, they are still $500 guitars that were hard to sell because nobody wanted them except me.
That first one is 100% a refinished Schecter S-1, they've done a few set neck with string thru models over the years. It was my first guess just from the first photo but the real big giveaway on it is the weird comfort cutaway where the neck meets the body.
Bro, my butchered Yamaha SF-600 is more of a Gibson than that 1st guitar is. Haha. On a mild side note, I've had said guitar for years and only just the other day finally figured out what it was. I was half tempted to contact you with some pictures and hope maybe you would have even a quarter of a clue, lol!
I bought a 2020 limited edition Epiphone G-1275 in white (really wanted one in cherry, but the veneer that they were using on the cherry top, just looked cheap and cheesy). It has the same Jimmy Page layout of 3 Toggle switches and the long throw tail pieces. But as far as double necks are concerned, I much prefer my 1980's Hondo 2 Professional, Longhorn (shaped like a Lyre), built at the Matsumoku factory in Japan, over the Epiphone.
Wow - Gibson prices are crazy! Haven’t been paying attention for the last few years. Still kicking myself for selling my ‘71-‘72 LP Custom in the mid 90’s, but it really sucked. 3 piece maple top, sandwich body, seriously low fretwire, weighed a ton, and just sounded muddy. $1k was what those 70’s models were trading hands for back then, and I couldn’t afford to just stick $1k on my wall as art instead of an instrument to play.
Hi Trogly, I can confirm that Épi double neck is factory condition, it’s the same as mine, flame veneer, cover less pickups on the 6 string and 3 switches.
Hey Trogley it has the strap button on the horn & the shape of the back pot cover look just like my Hofner Colorama. I suspect my Hofner was made by Carvin/Keisel (the pickups have 91 in the code on the sticker.
I like Kahlers. I have one I’m going to put in my SG. Also recently picked up a set of Fishman Moderns in red to match the Cherry finish. Blacked out hardware. It’s my Metal Machine.
I own one those 2004 Epiphone 1275s veneers on the top and back, it is stock with the Jimmy Page styling with the uncovered on the 6string and pushed back tailpieces, however the contour isn't quite the same. The toggle at the tail pieces selects the neck, one in the middle for the 12 pickups and one at the treble of the 6 controls the pickups on the 6. I love mine though a forever guitar for me
The epiphone double neck is factory, I have one as well from the late 90’s, spec’d exactly the same with the low tail pieces, flames, uncovered pickups on the 6 neck
On the epiphone double neck I believe all of them have the tail pieces placed far back and the pickups are generally if not always one set covered and one set uncovered. Also the three switch layout is on all of them I believe. Also a point to note is that Alex Lifeson’s double neck and Gibson signature double necks have the three switch layout as well.
Mystery Guitar is a Schecter Scorpion with the more traditional (rickenbacker 60’s acoustic whale tail inspired) headstock, multiple head stock shapes on that body style over it’s life time, and the volute was used on a few Scorpion variations
That's almost certainly an old schecter S-1 with some kind of "gibson" head grafted on and moded to death. Woulda had a string thru hardball and was probably 299 when it came out brand new in like 02 from what I remember, I could be wrong tho. Hate to see what was a genuinely good value guitar get destroyed and made into a worthless counterfeit
I had a epip double neck like that i brought it for 600 sold it for 1200 but thats NZD yes that is the correct pickup config and the tailpiece was set back i regret selling it but at the time i was fresh out of music school and needed cash and wast going to sell my Gibson Les Paul or my epiphone 345
On the doubleneck, were those tailpieces a mile from the bridge a standard thing or an extra feature if you wanted it? For some reason, it looks kinda ridiculous on this.
I'm from Wynwood, FL, and I'm looking for vintage cars and / or guitars. I can't seem to find ANYTHING near me. If there is, they aren't advertising well. If anyone can think of anything....lemme know.... 😂
Best of my knowledge, all Epiphone 1275's have the Page style further tailpiece, uncovered pickups, and 3 toggle switches. Mine does anyway. Also seen many with the flame tops.
I only remember 2 double necks in my time there, 1 white SG for Lzzy Hale and a white Explorer that split in 2 for Jason Hook. That one was pretty wild! Another excellent and informative show Trog!
The shape + the string thru + volute tells me it's a Diamond Series Schecter or the later import equivalent. No way anyone was stupid enough to convert a USA model.
I find that Brian Mays version of that double cut is very similar to Gibson's . Well the Rick Beato and the one you showed for comparison that was red. If you eere able to get a double neck with the dragon on it there shoiuld be adragons head on each headstock so you could call it a two headed dragon.
Hey @trog i found two guitars i really like and dont know if i should buy them one is a 1978 aria pro 2 and anther is a 2004 history cfs guitar they are both lawsuit japan guitars I just want to know about them
I have an old Ibanez double cut that looks very similar and it has the same volute as well. The horns on mine are a bit shorter, but the rest of it is pretty close.
That’s the one that looks kind of like a Moderne or a Roswell Flying V? I have a book that features an artist whose main instrument is a Breadwinner. It’s kinda cool in a strange way.
Almost certainly a Schecter. Maybe an S series?
Exactly this, it's an S1 schecter body style

Yep!
You know what has a volute: Schecter

There are FAR too many great guitars around $500 to buy that 1st Chibson
Two votes now for Schecter S-1.
Schecter or SD Curley
Would be useful to remind viewers ebony colour is painted. Ebony fretboard is wood. Different things, same name. Thanks
That is a Dimarzio X2N or other variant. Not a BL.
Thats a cream X2N in that cherry V 10:00 in
I had a Kahler put on my 1972 John Birch Custom SG and love it.

Kahlers usually have a tiny hex bolt in back, that locks em down... Leaves you with a hard trail, with precision tuners.

Couple of cool ones in this episode. Dig the double neck Epi with the flame top and I don’t hate the Kahler V.
That V is a cool as hell period build. Kahler & Power Plus, I could see the guy in Anvil playing it.

If I had 500- I would buy that guitar- it’s so stupid and I kinda love it
I hope someone picked up that double neck Epi. Looks pretty nice!
I thought you're idea with the flooring material was a pretty good idea.

I hate the fake stuff.... even if the guy knows it or something.... he passes away and wife/kids are gonna get a rude awakening when they go to sell

Yeah im with everyone else about the first guitar
Its a schecter

Love the Sunburst on that Flying-V , too bad it got hacked , I love Firebirds in that finish as well ...Thanks Trogness Monster !
🚂 Train's on time! woot!
It will probably sell for 5 quick enough Those Schecters are uncommon discontinued and sought out and probably not care about headstock
Serial number: 69 dude
Schecter Scorpion.
looks like schecter
If that Sonex isn't inspired by Satchel from Steel Panther, I would be surprised, lol.
Yes, this is a joke.
Almost looks like a Peavey

You are correct about that Elegant being in Peacock finish. I have an Elegant in Butterscotch quilt - I absolutely love my Elegant.
Z is for 13 hours late.
PRS did do a one of their Dragon guitars as a double neck… it is awesome, but so freaking expensive.

That is a Schecter S1 modded heavy and im guessing the spliced a gibson headstock top on to original

For that flying V. I would fill up the kahler route and put a veneer on top. or paint it opaque.
Very new into electric guitar. Minus the routing out part is there any other thing to dislike about a Kahler ?
Sheesh
Exactly!
Those epiphone double necks are pretty enticing
