Dude you're the only one person that when giving demos of the guitars don't have delay, distortion, plays 100 miles an hour, etc. I can actually get to hear what the guitar sounds like. You're the best man. PS. Ever hear of zzounds. No credit check for 12 month payments. You might be able to use them for demos with very little money..
I was actually going to recommend to him that he do a review of zZounds, or at least check them out and give his opinion. I don't see how anyone could say anything negative about them, honestly, unless they mentioned that they're a bit more limited on what they carry than a lot of the bigger shops like Sweetwater. I've bought and paid off fifteen guitars from them, have open tickets on two right now, and am looking at grabbing a PRS on the 18 month plan if it's still going after the first of the year. Their customer service is just as good as Sweetwater, and between the no interest, free shipping, 45 day returns, and all of the other perks, they're my favorite place.
@@chuckfitzpatrick2422 I just made the last payment on my Sheraton this month. Next is going to be an Epiphone Masterbilt 500. I'm already sporting a semi at the thought of that one showing up. Luckily for me I already have the perfect LP and Strat.
Chuck Fitzpatrick they really don’t check credit? I screwed up my credit when I was younger and I’m slowly rebuilding it...I would actually be able to finally get a nicer guitar if I could make payments on one.
I ordered the rose gold sg and it’s literally the nicest new guitar I’ve ever had. Beautiful case too though Incan see it scratching as mentioned . But the guitar plays and sounds great with the larger neck. A truly awesome special edition.
The Music Zoo is a cool company. I remember when they first opened back in 94. A small-time shop in Long Island, New York. They have now grown and opened a bigger shop. Tommy and the guys there are super friendly. I'm glad to see that they made it to your channel US.
my phone stand on my car just broke, hopefully I snag this one from you! I really like that white strat too, I was looking at one similar to it with the two humbucker setup. US
I joked to myself saying "It must be the Rose SG, mine was heavy AF." I wasn't surprised when it was the SG lol. Fantastic guitar to for me. Loved it. She stinks so bad because of the HP case.. took three days to air out and gas off.
Sad to hear if it never had that good smell. That "old" new Gibson smell should be a ladys perfume. ;) My case queen 2016 Les Paul Standard has it still.
@@HenkeEdge It has a hint of the root beer smell but since it has sat for so long in an airtight case, it didn't have the chance to breathe. Shes starting to smell a little sweeter.
I ordered a new bass guitar, which didnt come with a case, just the factory cardboard box, and the company only wrapped the outside with bubble wrap... When I got it the box was completely smashed and it looked like someone stepped on it basically folding the box in two almost...And the bass was just falling around in the destroyed box... It was heartbreaking to have seen that... I never even opened the box, it was sent back just like that. Im from South Africa btw, so our courier services arent the best anyway. So 10 days later I finally got my replacement bass with only slightly better packaging. Point is, its crazy how people decide to ship guitars, just wish more people would do it like its done in these videos...
Love the SG. I too have a limited run 2019 SG Standard that also has more of a rounded neck profile. I have five others. My 2017 has the thinnest neck(by far) and my 2015 Special has a neck like a baseball bat. So the 2019 seems to fall somewhere in the middle. Side note : It was made late summer and quality control is the best I've seen in a long time. Fit and finish is superb.
That white is the perfect amount of dirty in it that it picks up the wood of the neck in just the right way. It grabs you and makes you say " hey im still looking good back here. "
Brand new SG smell: The last Gibson I bought took 2.5 years before the lacquer hardened up. Until then, it would physically sweat when in the case. I would have to wipe off the solvent before I played the guitar. I complained to Gibson, and they said it was somehow my fault. They didn't even apologize. Needless to say, that was the LAST Gibson product I plan to buy.
@Bandana Dee Isaac That's correct. So if the new CEO would like to send me a new guitar to make up for the terrible experience I had the last time around, I think I could reconsider my position.
that guy buying purple guitars is actually undercover Thanos trying to buy all the purple infinity guitars so he finally riff half the universe into dust.
Best smelling guitars are Martins. Mine kept that scent for months after purchase, too. Then again, they surely use different lacquers for acoustics so you cannot directly compare electric and acustic smell, I guess.
Again, you’re so ahead of the rest of the RU-vid guitar community. Watching you box and unbox guitars is almost as good as doing it myself. Living my G.A.S. Vicariously through Trogly is incredibly fulfilling.
Trogly have you ever tried a Fender Coronado or Starcaster? They're both super cool "out-there" hollowbody designs that I think are just quirky enough for you to fall in love with
I am so glad your 1979 Strat is a keeper. Back in the day I purchased a 1979 25th Anniversary Strat brand new, it was beautiful and expensive. I was 18 years old then and saved up the $1200 for the guitar. It looked phenomenal and played great. The only problem was the pickup were so bad I had to replace them all within the first few weeks of buying it. I knew they were lack-luster from trying the guitar out at the store, but I just had to have that Anniversary model. Fast forward 18 months, I come back from Military Boot Camp only to find the pearl white finish had turned yellow/brown. I love my Fender guitars but that 1979 Strat was a disappointment.
@@hkguitar1984 Yeah, those Fenders from that era had a lot of finish problems due to them trying out a new type of lacquer or undercoat, can't remember which. My '79/'80 Fender Lead has the common problem of extreme finish checking around the edges. I've also seen examples of Strats turning from black to a misty dark blue, apparently all in the course of one till about three years. Some guitars and basses look really cool though because of it. Definitely makes them unique.
Nice case but Anvils are only 450-500 and their tougher.We had a truck roll over a anvil , truck not wheels with a old Sunn amp head in it .The case died by the amp still worked. I haven't paid money for any amp case since .
I purchased a used left handed Jackson DK2 Pro. I went to pick it up since I don't live far. They brought it out and it was brand spanking new in the box great condition and good setup. Its a store to visit unlike the other stores it has a relaxed atmosphere and great sales help.
I had a 1967 SG (with a very badly repaired neck/headtock break) which had a really chunky neck. I got rid of it as it was hard work to play, but I wish I'd kept it. Mind you, I feel that way about every guitar I've had that I don't still have...
That Japanese Stratocaster is a great guitar. I have one myself. It's called the Daybreak 60's Traditional Stratocaster. 275 made. They also have a matching Telecaster. Fenders continuation of the Midnight Series from last year. GC/MF never got them, only the smaller retailers. The new owner will really enjoy it!
One thing that I love about your reviews, you all tell us about the neck shape and size. I like the 50s style necks on the Gibson’s. The 60s style always gives me hand cramps. Us
:RE:the rose gold SG - I was hoping you'd review one of these. I bought one last week. Beautiful guitar - not 100% perfect as there was some lacquer bleeding onto the neck binding. Had that same overpowering lacquer smell. Plug it in when I got it home - and...THE NECK PICKUP DOESN'T WORK. Probably an easy soldering fix, but C'MON GIBSON! I have an affinity for this brand, but they continue to do sloppy things like this that frustrate me to no end. I'll likely take it back and ask for a new one. I hate putting the GC staff through that, but I really don't want to go through the whole Gibson warranty circus. FWIW, I emailed and called their customer service department and still have not heard back. So - yeah - hopefully the replacement that comes will be great. And you're right, that neck is considerably chunkier than the typical SG neck. As far as the case - ugh - not a fan. Way too heavy. I'll be putting that thing in a MONOCASE for gigs.
I have a 2000 SG Special with the fat neck....it's aawesome.I hot rodded I run a repair shop. Pearly Gates from Seymour Duncan, Emerson pro pots, orange caps, ect.. changed pick gaurd...I giged it for a while....they are light & the tone....nice guitar your showing for sure. I have a 2004 Fender American stratocaster 50th anniversary custom shop pickups inunplayed condition. I have just kept it setup....I bought it new.. put it back....want to turn it into a Fender American telecaster original 60's in lake placid blue.....here I go, hahaha!
Oh my god that SG is to die for. They are one of my favorite guitars in the whole world one day I will have to own one of those. That thing is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
I just bought a Vintage P-bass. I’m so impressed at how well they play and especially for the price. Certainly much better than Squier and certainly an equal to Mexican Fender basses. Highly recommend Trogly. I think Vintage are a British brand
That last guy sounds like a certain Danish man I know of... Speaking of trades on that strat, whatever happened to that one series that was supposed to take over Trade Tuesday's? The Learn with Me Monday was it?
My 2019 brand new lp custom smells exactly like my 2010 then brandnew sg smelled like! This lovely vanilla smell, so they do in fact still smell as good as they used to! I love that smell!
there is one of these DAY BREAK models at a shop here in San Diego and THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!!! DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GUITARS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! Man is it beautiful!
Cool video, love the Music Zoo guitars. There was a yellow relic'd Charvel originally from there a couple of months back on Reverb that I really wanted but missed out on.
My wife and i have always been a fan of norms rare guitar and would watch it every night together. But now For the past two months since I found your channel we have watched this first then norms right after. Thank you for providing such good guitar content.
The Music Zoo seems like an awesome store. I’ve always wanted to stop by there and check it out. The Sam Ashes and Guitar Centers in NY suck. I try to only use them for minor purchases like strings & cables etc.
Good variety of guitars reviewed. Have you ever reviewed an M2M Les Pauls? I'm fairly new to your show, but tune in nearly everyday now. I saw a white Les Paul Standard with a white stinger that I understand is quite rare because Gibson didn't want to paint any more. Oh yeah... I could use that car charger or a guitar.
I’m one of the 3.8 % 👍🏻😊 Hey that same case came with my new rose gold SG that I bought November 15. omg it’s exactly like mine!! I have the matching Les Paul traditional from last year! That’s too wild. Ya HAVE to leave that case open for 4 days straight to get rid of the strong nitro smell! The case weighs a TON.
Those Japanese FSR instruments are really great. Far better quality than their MIM counterparts. I bought a FSR Stratocaster XII and recently played a couple of the new MIM Alternate Reality XII’s and the difference was striking.
i really liked the look of that fender, i've been saving up my money for a new strat but its a bit different then this. Merry Christmas and have a good year! US.
@@bipbipletucha I plan on getting the 2018 Limited edition Ultraviolet Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster. I saw it in a local shop and it really caught my eye, i'm some what of a newer player and have yet to get a guitar of nicer quality, and a lover of Hendrix so it all works out.
question-what is your opinion on shipping guitars in sub freezing weather. I know it's unavoidable this time of year, but do you have procedures you follow? thanks.
I have been enjoying the unboxing of the new old and crappy guitars ,, I have to laugh ,,my 1st guitar was a Decca 6 string electric , 1 picup , and a little Decca amp that had 5 watts , 1st thing was to get a plug in overdrive that went directly into input jack on amp,, great memories , I enjoy learning.
i played one of those white daybreak strats in a music shop here in scotland a few weeks ago, it sounded great but i dodnt really like the full gloss neck - not to mention it was just out of my price range
I keep changing what my favourite model is.. From the SG Modern.. Trans Black.. To 2011 melody maker SG.. Satin white.. To 2014 Melody Maker LP.. To those DC Specials.. I just love white guitars... Then Today I saw it.. A Baritone SG.. Like a Buckethead model in every way... That Daybreak... It's like a Mary Kay!! model
Great channel! Discovered you and subscribed almost immediately. Total novice with guitars,but the info you share in your reviews and unboxings is fantastic. Keep them coming
Hi, I love your show! I’ve been a strat player my whole life. I finally picked up a Gibson les Paul at 60, and I realized that life has been half empty, not owning a real Gibson les Paul. I have a chibson, and a 97$ supposed LP with a case, delivered. I can’t wait to see what I get?
Just found this channel yesterday and it’s getting me back into collecting more guitars I haven’t bought a new one in over a decade keep up what you do US
if you can get the best deals on guitars then ..................................................can you get me a gibson les paul custom black beauty in imnaculate condition for under $100 ??????
When I sell high priced guitars (i'm not a dealer) at the lowest price on reverb. I'm selling my used stuff and try to buy it the same way - I'll often get tire kicker dealers offering, say, $2500 for a collings guitar that actually sells at $3500 used. There are people who must sell when they're hard up. But, you can do the same thing. Watch black beauty listings, whatever they may be $3k? Look for the actual sale price of the last 5 or 10, and offer 20% less and eventually someone may take you up on it.
That includes offering on guitars that have been listed for a while and have no offer option enabled. Just because a seller isn't accepting offers doesn't mean they won't accept one offered through messaging. And you don't have to be a low baller. Sometimes, listings are out of line a little and i offer what I think i'll get out of a guitar for if I don't like it. I'll leave the low balling to dealers - it's a little to antisocial for me. But you can get yourself in a neutral area in between.
You know you’re insignificant in the larger scale of things when not only are you one of 74k+ subs, but you’re also a part of every main demographic of the uploader 😂
how do I try to get a new guitar through you? I've been looking at a few Martin guitars. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you for your time and have a nice day.
My uncle has one and I tried to steal it... I was unsuccessful so maybe I’ll get one after all. I want to see one of those custom shop strats with the covered humbuckers in the bridge . US
I think this is one of the coolest guitar channels out there - it's just fun to watch you. Interesting stuff - so here to win this and support your channel with my 50yr old demographic :) . I dig the geek stuff anything guitar related ... Remember - this is for the US (Giveaway is USA only.)
Hey, keep up the good work. Been watching for a while now and love how thorough your reviews are. The history of the guitars is probably my favorite part. Definitely signing up for the mailing list. Hoped to grab that CM that you had sold a couple weeks ago but I missed the 20-minute (or whatever it was) window before it sold! US
Not really. You might check my “Fender Hunting” episode from last week though for some tips If you haven’t made an account yet, this link might get you $10 on Reverb reverb.com/refer-a-friend/austin-c-14
