@popeye089 Год назад

I'm gonna guess you re"installed" the bigsby wrong. If you don't know how to tighten them properly, it leads to tuning stability problems. One of the common causes of Bigbsy, problems is becuase users over tighten them.

@hkguitar1984 Год назад

@@popeye089 I concur. A quick visit to the Bigsby Website, under the "Support" heading list several important steps required to prevent tuning stability issues. One of the main steps is that when installing new strings each string needs to be crimped at a 45-degree angle next to the ball end. Failure to follow this one step is enough to cause tuning issues. All that needed to be done is check the manufactures website. I really doubt the builder or owner of a new $55,000 guitar would tolerate such issues. Like I said, the Bigsby website has got to be the last word on all things Bigsby. Just my $.02 Cents.

@fluxerflixer1 Год назад

Like Randy Rhoads said when a student was afraid to handle his guitar because he might scratch it, “you can either be a guitar player and put your own wear on it from practicing hard, or you can hang it on the wall”. We have ourselves a wall hanger that won’t stay in tune for only 55,000. 🤭

Read a fun fact: in the early days of electric guitars it was the opposite. Everyone was desperate to keep their guitars perfect, so much so that Fender switched to Rosewood fretboards because “the maple gets dirty”!

Metal inlays would probably make sanding the radius into the fretboard a huge pain in the ass. And did you notice the lack of tooling marks on the fretboard? It's a dead giveaway that Gibson did not do the finish work on this guitar. It would be great if Gibson gave two shits about quality control. I am not convinced they are even familiar with the concept.

@hkguitar1984 Год назад

+1 about the metal inlays and sanding issues. As for the lack of tool marks on the fingerboard, most of those marks on a Gibson are specifically from filing the fret nibs into the binding. This guitar's neck is unbound, so there would likely be no finishing filing other than dressing the fret ends.

@jondough76 Год назад

@@hkguitar1984 I didn't think about the binding/nibs. Maybe Gibson should just do away with fret nibs since they can't seem to finish them properly without chewing up the board. I have never been a fan of the nibs anyway.

@hkguitar1984 Год назад

@@jondough76 I agree with you. I think its just a Gibson tradition. IMHO, they should only offer the fret nibs on Historics and Re-Issues. That is just my $.02 Cents. That said, I've a 1986 Les Paul Custom with almost 40 years of regular playing wear. The fingerboard binding still looks great, however, due to the binding the edge of the fingerboard lacks the rolled edge/worn-in feel of my older Fender guitars. If I were to custom order a Les Paul (Standard or Custom) I'd omit the fingerboard binding and request the edges rolled over. Again, another $.02 Cents from me!

I guess there is a market for this type of thing, but forget the whole debate about if you like a relic or not.

If you really wanted to go all out there's the Custom Shop Vs for like 5 grand, and the Korinas for like 10k. All better options if you ask me.

Just from setting intonation, my strings have little dents from the old saddle position, no way those saddles should be paired with a tremolo, it will never stay in tune.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I LOOK TO A FLYING V AND A AGED MODEL AND THINK THATS IS REALLY COOL ......👏👏👏👏👏

Looks like the "wear" has had burnt umber rubbed into the grain then stripped off with a solvent. An old furniture aging trick but can be very effective if done right.

That is cool wit wit a bigsby

I’m reminded how my generation of players played the cheap gibsons. Kinda weird thinking i’d never be able to afford a cheap gibson cause they’ll want to make these instead.

Not sure but in my opinion, your recent SG has better bridge sounds.

@fretout Год назад

09:37 - Hey Austin, you mentioned that the bridge on this guitar is an ABR-1 with a wire retainer, but there doesn’t appear to be a wire, or the holes drilled into the bridge where the wire would be installed. Can you please explain where the wire is on this bridge, or were your comments in the video incorrect?

1) Big like for the "first fret neck depth" t-shirt. Funny thing, I always skip that part, but the shirt is very cool! 🙂 2) The "skull" knobs look more like Darth Vader to me 😛

@darwinsaye Год назад

Love almost everything about that, but no neck pickup ruins it for me.

@MrJohnnyDistortion Год назад

BRO! You need to learn what a Luthiers Knot is at the tuning peg and once stretched out your strings won't detune unless there's is a nut or saddle hang-up.

Flying A? I first thought that it was a Chibson USA meme tbh

@larrynoe6162 Год назад

I play sitting down a lot do to a motorcycle accident so a V is about the toughest for me. I can play them like a goober. As for as relived guitars it is done very well, they are just not my thing. I don’t mind old used guitars, I just don’t like the idea of faking one.

A little expensive but it's pretty cool.

Salutations Austin! Interesting collectors piece, I certainly wouldn’t pay $55,000 dollars for such an instrument, I would just pick up an affordable one and just customise it myself, for a lot less, even if I could afford such an expensive instrument, which I cannot. Ideally, when I purchase a new guitar, I prefer it to look new, I don’t get the appeal of an artificially aged guitar directly from the manufacturer, but if it is an actual vintage instrument that has some actual wear and tear then that is a completely different story, but a brand new instrument it makes little sense to pay a premium for it, in my opinion. Whoever purchased this instrument was awesome to allow you to examine it and share it with us all! I hope they are happy with it. Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸🎄

How do you fix the weight distribution on a V? slap a bigbsy on it. *edit (what tuning)

@AwkwardHypernerd413 Год назад

I personally find the concept interesting. It looks like what someone would make in the post apocalypse. Like imagine the world ended just before the invention of the floating tremolo bridge system or the Floyd rose bridge, and a wasteland bard wanted a trem on a V guitar. This is what I’d imagine. Although I’d rather make something like that myself than pay 55K for it

@lethrbear32 Год назад

It might be "a Gibson", but it looks like something you'd find at a pawn shop in Oklahoma. This price point for a person I've never heard of makes it extra hilarious.

Presume the husks were selected from the wood stage rather than from existing blank bodies ????

@neilwinkelmann8540 Год назад

Interesting guitar. The Bigsby mounting bar itself looks a bit "phoned in" to me. A plain gauge steel strip. Could have been a bit more substantial and interesting.

@ereimul1444 Год назад

really enjoy today guitar. gotta love the Scala artwork with the V. Next year Scala and explorer maybe?

@vmann-jd5yw Год назад

Badass-looking axe for sure. And for $55K, not many buyers are going have it as a player, so tuning issues are probably unimportant (but also easily remedied by a competent tech or luthier).

@ericbgordon1575 Год назад

It's a great demo, but why would having the Bigsby be prioritized over having the neck pickup and the available controls?

@mattrockjm Год назад

Hi trogly… Great guitar… I’ve noticed your having trouble with tuning on this one , it’s the nut is sticking Pretty sure . Radio shack has what’s called synthetic lube One drop on the slot of each string at the nut will allow the strings to slide properly over the nut and stop friction .. allowing the guitar to stay in tune by removing the friction of the string over the nut …it will last the life of the string 2/3 months…try it you’ll like it’s worked for me .. gigging for many years I use on all my guitars 🎸 Peace bro great show lone time fan ….

@comparedtowhat2638 Год назад

I go back and forth about how cool it looks. My real issue is what is it with all these insanely expensive guitars that aren’t really made to be played?
