Both of those SG's are beautiful, however I'd have to go with the SG Standard just because of the red aniline dye, that mahogany is too pretty to cover up. Same with the ebony Les Paul, just a black top would be perfect with natural back and sides.
Trogly I’m a lefty and when I tell you I was an hour away from buying that lefty reissue from the demo shop I am not exaggerating LOL. So happy to see it on your channel and know it’s going to a good home!!
Trogly, I appreciate all things going back to the familiar normal! A lot of people are quite turned off by your McMansion... The simple desk, Baltic granite makeshift top, and just the genuine you is all your viewers want.
Used to own a 2017 Gibson USA SG standard which got stolen and i replaced and upgraded to a custom shop 61 reissue. I thought the 2017 was fantastic but i didn't realize how sub par it was until i got the custom shop which is just beyond immaculate. I ended up with the gold top SG Rhett Shull did a demo on in his video on custom shop guitar hunting. Ive always been wanting you to compare a Gibson USA and a Gibson custom shop Sg side by side, please make it happen Trogly! Happy fathers day!
That is how they were made in late 50’s and 1960. Gibson used right handed necks and just added an additional set of fret markers on lefties. The reissues replicate this for accuracy to the originals. If you see photos of Paul McCartney playing his genuine original lefty Les Paul you will notice that the logo on the headstock is upside down.
Would love to see an episode where you compare between the differences between the many levels of Les Pauls. From one father to another and your viewers who are happy fathers day and thank you.
I'd love to see some VOS Les Paul Juniors and Specials! I really want one in TV yellow but I'm in the UK and they don't show up that often used. Happy Father's Day!
@@judih.8754 many just here on YT. tons of video, amazing players. all kinds of kids doing stuff even the masters never thought of back in the 60's, 70's and 80's. much different times, and skillsets.
Welcome Amelia. If you like guitars that is pretty much the only price of admission here. All are welcome as we all share the same admiration for the guitar.
Welcome, it’s nice to see another woman here. I’m 52, so the internet didn’t exist when I was your age. You are starting on your musical journey at a wonderful time. Guitar selection has never been better. Rock on!
Thanks to you I now have two Demo shop guitars. A 2013 Future Tribute that I swapped the knobs and tuners on for a semi sstudio looking version of a Classic and a 2016 60's Tribute with the P90's both in vintage burst. And you are right that Gibson rates the condition lower than it should be.
I’m not sure if it is me, but you have made your new place look like your old unboxing room. It’s the door layout that is throwing me out. Love the Gibson show by the way.
Thanks for the Father's day SG's, although I wish you'd document my 50th anniversary SG Special in Alpine White which has only 1 hour of play on it, and is a real 50th made in August of 2011, and a Gibson rep said there were only about 800 2011s. Unfortunately they made more in 2012, and a few in 2013, but mine is the best sounding, and playing p90 equipped SG I've owned, and I've had a 63, and a couple of later ones. Thanks, and happy Father's day Austin! Keith in RVA
I'm not a father, and my own father has been gone now for a year-and-a-half. It's still important to me because of how close we were and how integral he was to my musical pursuits. The SG series has always fascinated me, even though none of them has ever tickled my fancy enough to buy one. If I did and I thought it was worth the extra clams to do so, I would likely choose the Custom.
5:10 I believe the reason why Gibson wont ship internationally is because of the whole rosewood issue. It's still illegal, under normal circumstances to ship products made with rosewood overseas without jumping through a bunch of hoops. Likely Gibson chose not to change to Pau Ferro fretboards on the USA stuff which prevents them from shipping out of the country. This is obviously not a problem with Epiphone made stuff, since they have likely changed fretboard material.
I'm pretty sure Gibson does not reverse the headstock logo or script for LH guitars. That is the norm for a left hand Gibson, upside down and slanted backwards.
The original late 50s and 1960 lefty Les Pauls used right handed necks with an additional set of fret markers. Gibson reissues replicate this for historical accuracy.
@@craigthomson3621 And people say Les Fender did things on the cheap! Charging extra for a LH guitar and still using a RH neck, at least took the trouble to Gibson mirror the body and pickup controls! TBH, I didn’t know that Gibson used to RH necks in the LH guitars for Historical accuracy, I’m impressed. Thanks Craig, I’ve most certainly learned something today.
This demo was a surprise. Liked this Tele quite a bit, Trogly, should lower the mini humbucker and the micro-phonic sounds should go. By the looks of it (although hard to tell for sure on video) would guess that was another "oops" by Fender QC, the mini humbucker looks a bit high. At first thought the color was terrible. Quickly changed my mind after finding out the purpose of the flat primer grey, on stage is absorbs and reflects the color of the stage lights. Making the Tele appear like various brilliant tones during a live performance. Must admit it's a killer idea for the stage. Thanks Trogly, another informative vid. Cheers
@the trogly's guitar show I know my dad doesn't like guitars like I do but I know he likes Mötley Crüe and I got tickets to what was supposed to be a Mötley Crüe concert tomorrow but got rescheduled for next year and it's pretty dumb if you ask Mr because it's now the 2 time it happened
All the lefty reissues are like this as they replicate the original guitars which used right handed necks with an additional set of fret markers for lefties.
Also my 15th Anniversary this weekend, Where Bought Best Les Paul I could Find in Southeast a 2012 Premium Plus Standard Les Paul, 7.6lbs of tonal Heaven. So my Fathers Day ended with Me and My taking home a 2012 Bourbon Burst Animal with Flame to Die For
It's good you lot do father's day during the wrong month. It gives me plenty of advance warning of proper Father's Day on the 5th of September. NZ down under where we drive on the right side of the road and run our amps on 230v like AC/DC and do not confuse a fanny with a butt.
I love SG's (got 2 of 'em). That cherry one looks exactly like my 61R. Still prefer my '92 Standard though (much prefer the stop bar over the vibrola). Straight up, no frills rock beasts!
Played a $7200 Trini Lopez at the Gibson Garage last week. I had two simultaneous thoughts: 1. No way I would ever spend $7200 on a non-vintage guitar and 2. I totally get why this thing cost $7200. I’m not knocking the USA line but custom shop is just different. BTW, you need to get down to that Gibson Garage, Austin. They did a great job with it; totally worth the trip.
As a father to be I highly enjoy this video. I normally don't like SG's, but lately Gibson makes one gorgeous one after another. First the Captain Kirk signature, then the Jimi Hendrix model and now this one. Oh Lord, I might be converting to the SG camp
I've not ever seen you review a Jeff Beck Oxblood '54 Les Paul,just curious as to whether that on your radar,Love the show,great to learn so many interesting facts.
I can tell you what was wrong with the lefty guitar it’s got a right handed neck. If you notice the Lea Paul silk screen is upside down. On a left neck it should be the other way.
No- that is how Gibson made them in the late 50’s and 1960. They used right handed necks and just added an additional set of fret markers to lefties. The reissues replicate this for historical accuracy.
