Pic: bit.ly/3aVd97g Suede on the inside of the strap also helps stop the guitar moving about as they are not light as you will know. This will help with neck dive on an SG as well. I've recently bought some German Schaller locking pegs to try, but probably on a less expensive guitar first :) and be careful with the screw depth on these - tell them its for a LP.

@@Peter-ff1tp not to beat a dead horse, but another nuanced point is that Gibson has agreements with Chinese factories to make those same guitars for Epiphone in those very same factories. The real businesses getting hurt are the guitar stores because they can’t legally sell Chibsons and no one wants to buy an Epiphone double neck for $1250 when they can buy an Epiphone double neck that says Gibson for 400. It probably helped Gibson by bringing a lot of new people into the market to eventually buy the real thing when they get sick of the Chibson.

Hey Troggie! note the wad o wire viewed through your lower f-hole of that Epi. Rockcats got a problem of too much wire soakin up the tone. They benefit from a professional rewiring. Tone comes back and they're great guits.

11:09 why has the nut pushed to the left on the 12 string side is that what happened when it knocked over?

I was watching the Anderton's video of NAMM and I fell in love with that red and gold Uptown cat. What a novel. What a novel, yet simple and effective idea to put gold on the back.

Schecters are my favorite, being a lefty. I have four of them and my C-1 Hellraiser Passive FR (Floyd Rose) is my favorite instrument even over my lefty 2018 Gibson Explorer. I love my Explorer but my C-1 Hellraiser is pure bliss to play.

Always enjoy your unboxing videos but I was surprised to see a Squier, not that I wouldn't rock it though. Edit: Last unboxing, not this one... Also we used to call the old Epiphone headstock the "Bikini Bottom"

It is interesting to see that the Chibson is a truer Jimmy Page copy with the extended harp section between bridge and tailpiece.

the general consensus is without replacing a few things they really aren't, you take a chance when you get them, sometimes you get something totally unplayable and other times you get a guitar that is playable but of course with shitty hardware. I bought a blank sg last year from china (no logo!) and after receiving it and fixing/replacing hardware its really nice! though like i said half of the time you'll get something that is so totally fucked its impossible to fix. I like mine though.

My wife has an Epiphone Wildkat with a Bigsby in Chicago Blue Pearl. It's a great guitar but a little heavy for a hollow body.

Nice video! But i got a question... What do you think about Harley Benton guitars?

i'd imagine the double neck having more surface area to distribute the force of the fall probably helped.

I don’t know if you will see this but if you do , I bought a jimmy page les Paul in 1996 from guitar center and when I bought it I didn’t know any better and neither did the guy selling it but they gave me the regular brown les Paul case. Not till years later did I realize I should have gotten a special black page case. I have the guitar center hangtags and stuff but it kind of makes me mad now lol. If you ever come across that case can you let me know ? Thanks a bunch.

Was there ever a more in depth review on that uptown cat??? Thinking of getting one I’d love to hear what you think of it

So. You’re going to separate the double neck right?

I might be gunning for that Corvus. I wanted the futura bad but couldn’t afford it at the time. I love weird Gibson. My current bass is the parts bin that is the Q80

Just cut the small center tape on the top front your opening and the 2 cardboard sides! How would the fall/tip over hurt it? It's was in a case and packed!!

HI. Love your show. I have been watching since I started playing guitar about 6 months ago. I love learning about the history of guitars and have you to thank for starting that. I have been learning about all the different kinds of thin line and hollow body's out there trying to decide what I want..[err... need??] I came across the D Angelico Deluxe SS in Matte wine "limited edition" . Its listed on Sweetwater as a pre order for $1999.99, and says that only 25 will be sold in the US. Purely from a collectors point of view would this be of interest? I would appreciate your input or anybody else's opinion on the potential value of items like this. Personally I think that pretty much of what D Angelico is making is damn gorgeous. I would personally prefer a carved top Flame maple instead of laminate but alas those things are usually out of my price range. Thanks for any input and maybe you could unbox a few of these, it would be fun..

Green and gold on the epiphone looks sooo good

Wow the Red and Gold Epiphone is to die for truly beautiful, the Chibson double neck, I wouldn’t have known that, looking at my screen anyway.

7:27 you should put that sticker on the door or somewhere in that room

So, can I get the chibson? I'd love that for my studio

Any interest in a 1994 Fender Strat 40th Anniversary Edition? Awesome guitar. Great finish. Original owner. Had one of the pots replaced about 10 years ago. There’s a loose connection in the positioning switch. Hard shell Fender TSA case....since the airlines broke the original case.

always love your videos. audio quality is a bit weird on this one though. keep up the good work!

Did you ever film the follow-up episode with the fake?

How much for the Chibson?

I just got my schecter stiletto custom-5 last Friday. Love it. It’s amazing. I wanted the schecter case too. But it was too much.

Jesus that epiphone finish is awesome!

You opened the case and I was not expecting the double neck hahaha

I like the fact that Padpak paper was used to pack the shecter case :) I fix those machines for a living

Your channel rawks. Seems epiphone is kicking it up a notch. My Snow Falcon is pretty dam good for the money. I got a great deal on it but if I had paid $900 the price it was going for I still would have been happy with it. So I decided to order the Tommy Thayer electric blue guitar. Also Schecter guitars are awesome. Never had a bad one and I have 6 of them from new to going back to 2007.

Interesting... My guitar teacher had a black Corvus with 2 HBs running through a Peavey Studio Chorus 212 . At the time I had a Schecter Strategy T shaped object and a Peavey bandit 65. 35 years ago... Wish I'd kept the amp.....

Unboxing yes. Best thing on KZread

Guess what, I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Trogly's Guitar show

OK, looking forward to the Schecter. I really like their stuff.

That Epi is awesome, beautiful guitar

Weird with that first guitar they didn't also abandon the body shape with the decision not to go headless. I imagine it is a bit neck heavy and there would be less surface area to finish by filling in that vee part of the body for a starters. Even if the headless design was not appealing, just to put a headed neck on a strange body is even less appealing.

Austin, Why all the reverb on the voice audio❓

Honestly I was expecting a heart cause I was disappointed with the guitars you unboxed this episode... But that epiphone knocked it out of the park! They are killing it this year! Great video anyway thanks for the hard work.

Schecter made a Mike Tempesta of Powerman 5000 guitar that looks really cool. In fact you might get one for us? I still have the Musicians Friend catalog from 00 showing the M-33 custom shop.

I have the Flamekat, bought it when it came out. Real Gibson NY Mini HBs, ebony fretboard with DIce inlays and dice on pu switch vol tone and master vol. Totally awesome looking and sounding axe/ That Uptown should be awesome as well.

how many guitars do you have??

the guitars with a sentimental value are the best, my mother bought me a 1987 marlin k34t sidewinder when i was 17 years old (it was £150 which was way way over my budget at the time haha). It started when i saw it hung up in my favourite guitar shop, somehow it stood out from the rest to me, for months I'd go in that shop just to look at it and see it was still there, i spoke about it lots until one day it wasn't hung up there anymore, but i didn't let it get me down because i knew i was broke, however little did i know my mum got it for me for that christmas, i was shocked and amazed as i had only spoken about it, never showed a picture but she knew exactly which one! and since then it has been my go-to gigging guitar!
