Thanks for featuring the Epihone SG Pierced! 😄🎸 I'm always watching these episodes to see if something I've listed gets featured 👀 so I'm glad it was this guitar and that you went easy on me! 😂 Thanks for the shout out! ✌️ Danny
@chris_2714 that's right! I remember a kid in my school in the mid 2000s had one and I questioned him to no end about it 😂 I couldn't believe they'd make a guitar with hoops in the headstock, all battered up and with an X cut out of the body 🎸 it definitely spoke to my angsty teenage self 😂 I changed up the pickup and wiring and added the pickguard to cover the neck pickup cavity 🙂 it's definitely an interesting design to begin with!
The only bit he thorught was factory on the SG was the thing that definitely was NOT factory, as opposed to everything else he thought wasn't factory... good times!
Every Carvin enthusiast I've ever talked to (that's like 3... don't get too impressed LOL) has said the 22 pole piece pickups are amazing. I can't speak for that, but they do... loudly.
And yes, the Carvin M22 pickups are great! I had one in a Gibbo SG and was getting Fear Factory - Demanufacture tones from it. They're basically what D-Activators want to be.
From what I see, yes, the pierced SG did come all dinged up and with the piercings on the headstock, though they came with 2 humbuckers in stead of the P90.
I've never commented on the RRL posts, but man...these cats ask like 5 figures for these monstrosities and have the balls to charge you for shipping? I'm no buy/sell expert, but that's just weird to me.
For reference, the average price on Reverb for that Carvin double neck is about $2500. I used to have one and it was a really great sounding guitar. If anything the smaller body should bring the value down from there.
I remember not long ago or maybe it was but there was a car on the internet with the faces of random rock musicians on the hood and sides with Ace from kiss, I think Chad from nickleback and ozzy or something but that Beatles guitar immediately made it come to mind 😂
When I was in a band in the early eighties, one of our guitarists had that same Carvin double neck. But I don't think it was the odd-sized rare one that this guy knows that he has.
Hey man, i really enjoy these videos. Only nitpick i have is that you could maybe not hide the funniest/most interesting parts of the guitar behind the giant circle with your face in it. just like maybe 30% smaller would probably be alright i guess.
It did come with the piercing and they were beat like that from the factory. The guard is not factory. I sold one of these a few months ago. Tough sale for sure
accidently sold my sg for $50 dollars cause i needed diapers for my daughter shes 14 now. I miss it so much. seen it later at the pawn shop for 500 almost had it back but the pawn shop owner died the day i went to get it out of layway :( the gouges are from it being beat with a logging chain.
The pierced Epiphone actually came with the piercings and the dings in the back, it actually seems to be in decent condition for what it is... Originally no pickguard and two humbuckers, indeed ugly. But damn, I knew many emo-teens who wanted it - to be fair, I wanted a B.C.Rich Beast back than...
...funny how guitar players are supposed to be innovative musicians but God forbid anything different in guitar design after 1955. Players called the Telecaster the canoe paddle and said it was stupid when it came out...
Yes, and I agree liking some odd models say a Bana Design Danelectro made in 1960 or the Narrow design in 1970's, even a star design some bands used in 1980's But if the Delta wing is hard to play and if narrow part was made shorter people could use model more easy
Ooh, I like the pierced guitar. Just not that one listed. Edit: Dude, pierced is in the name. Of course they're going to be pierced. That was the reward they were offering back in the day when it happened. You're not the sharpest tool in the shed are you?
Strandbergs are unusually shaped, but for a reason, ergonomics & weight. I personally dislike guitars with figures or scenes painted on them, much like my dislike for tattoos on women.
i see these weird shapes and think why do fenders an gibsons look like they do and haven't really changed in any significant way in 60 years. oh nobody wants weird sh@t.
