Normally those Nut Latches should completely close. With everything done to that instrument it is likely those are not the original lock wedges, or they were installed backwards or upside down. Either way, those black nut wedge latches should be completely flush when closed. See if you can find the correct lock wedges and give it another try (checking tuning stability).
Yep. I used these string locks on my Les Paul back when they were new, hoping for something easier to use than the 6 grub screw string lock that was installed at the factory on my Kahler equipped guitar. I found it to work OK, but I eventually removed it when I discovered locking tuners. I mostly found the clamp to not grip well on the G string due to the thickness of the D string. In hindsight, one might be able to cut a light groove into the clamp for the D and thus make the effective clamping force more even.
There is an incredible amount of virtue signaling going on with the obsession with that company. Anyone who actually spends their money on that is doing so knowing full well that they're getting a piece of paper as a gag gift for their brother-in-law or whatever. Absolutely nobody with a mind competent enough to get themselves dressed in the morning would see the ads for them and think "Oh, I am actually owning property that I can make any use of" or would legitimately call themselves "Lord." If it makes you feel better about yourself to feign outrage over something as dumb as this, you do you though.
@@HeelBJCfunny how the company has NEVER, not even for once, mentioned it was a gag gift. It was heavily advertised as something it was not. $50 for a piece of paper, you must be out of your stupid mind. According to your logic, it's also ethical for me to sell a piece of rock and advertise it as "healing stone" and blame my customers for being stupid. Also you're not that much better because you chose to engage in this conversation defending a company all the way from Scotland...uh I mean Hong Kong
Yeah, gives me a bad taste. If he didn’t defend them we might have let it go, but nah. Seriously considering unsubscribing, especially since he keeps shilling for them.
The paint discoloration wasn't due to reaction with the plastics (because it's also under the TP6), I reckon it was just that the paint was still venting solvents slightly when they bolted it together - thereby trapping some of the gasses.
@@Trog nvm my fist comment i see you have changed your ad to be more upfront. I still think the company is trash but atleast your letting people know now its a fake title. I get it money is money but its in bad taste to keep them in my opinion. As someone who just lost their job and are slowly burning through my savings. I would never make ends meet with a company that scams unwilling idiots.
I really like the look of this SG. Neck binding on just about any Gibson model is a selling point for me. I always liked the Les Paul custom necks and the way they feel. I used to have the Jimi Hendrix signature flying v with neck binding and a Les Paul custom profile. I wish I still had it.
Hi, Adrian, guitarfan, from Spain, Years ago, I put "Adrian" name to my son, in honour to three ones, Adrian Belew Adrian Legg Adrian Vandenberg So long, dude🙋🤩🤠
I think that's the first guitar I've heard that the coil split actually sounded like single coils. Nice! The humbucker mode sounded good too. Very unique sounds.
I had forgotten about Edwards cam action locking nuts, seemed like a great idea, but the cam didn't "cockle" like a Floyd so only the thicker gauge of the pair got full clamping
You need to learn and use the "GIBSON MANDOLIN STRING POST METHOD", grease the nut, stretch them out and you will be able to make 2 step bends with no tuning issues. Ain't nuthin' wrong with any SG staying in tune if you know what to do. Sew a small 1oz weight on the tail end of the strap or attach a wireless and neck dive is gone.
I sold one of these a couple of months ago in the Metallic Sunset colour. The clearcoat had yellowed so it developed a nice copper hue! It had extremely stable tuning, if you use the string clamps correctly but they take a little bit of setting up to get the right tension and it's quite easy to pass the string through the wring place so it's not properly between the clamps. I sold it as despite it being a well-made instrument, and loving the quirkiness of the unique features, it was uninspiring to me to play. Quite dark sounding and without the 'snap' that I associate with other SGs I've had in the past that I've liked. Also, the singer of the band I was planning to use it with sadly passed away suddenly so I no longer had the use for it.
The TP6 came in handy for me one night gigging in Walt Disney Orlando on the west end outdoor pro stage. The 200 plus hot stage lights affected my neck and when I want for a D chord the G-B-E strings went out even though I string at the post via the "Gibson Mandolin String Post Method", stretched, greased the nut slots and tested for tuning stability before I stormed the stage.🤣 Thank God I use to practice detuning and quickly tuning with the TP6. Saved me ass. I keep one in the glove box for good luck.🤪
Got rid of an Epiphone Elitist EB3 that I loved because of the neck dive, even with a grippy strap. Didn't realize how much energy I was putting into holding up the neck until I switched to a bass that balanced properly.
You are correct on the lock nut, they don't really clamp the strings hard enough. They were made by Kahler, I had one on a custom build neck thru' super Strat with a Kahler Trem'. This was around '83/84 when deep diving trems were just in their infancy. I replaced the 'pop up' clamping nut back to the Kahler standard locking nut as I bent the main through post (axle) by over tightening, trying basically to get the guitar to stay in tune. Sometimes it was clamped so hard it would hurt your fingers. Can't see the point of it on this SG or at all.
I like that SG, I have mid eighties MIJ Charvel Charvette that is quite similar to that SG. it's white and it has yellowed slightly over the years. to this really cool color that can't be duplicated by unnatural ageing processes. there are some that would say it's antique white but it's not. I have seen antique white finishes and it's not the same. and it's one of the reasons why I have no use for relic guitars. the Charvel Charvette that I have has a real Floyd Rose that has the big brass block, and a Floyd Rose locking nut. and it stays in perfect tune even if it's sitting for a while, providing the strings stretched out properly. and that's probably due to the Floyd Rose locking nut. because I don't think I would rely on the gotoh tuning machines to do that. it has EMG pickups (none passive) a humbucker at the bridge, and a angled single coil at the neck. with no pickguard and it has a really skinny neck. I think I would like that SG without the pickguard also. but it would probably be impossible to get rid of that discoloration. which I think is caused by smoke and other environmental impacts. and it stayed those areas because they don't get cleaned and polished in those areas. in the playing demo it sounded really good when you played the Kansas "Dust in the Wind" riff. however it didn't sound quite as good when you played the AC/DC riff, and when it had dirt on it. I think I would consider messing around with that nut some more. it also might explain why the pickups had been changed. it's definitely a nice SG and has serious potential.
I like this guitar! I have swaped out all my Gibson guitars with the TP-6 tailpiece it makes string changes a breeze! It sounds good with those pickups, Very nice find Trogly.
Your honesty about the guitars you review are why I like your channel, also, I have a les Paul from 86’ and always wondered why it has four small covered up screw holes by the truss rod…and now I know
Special pickups needed for these SG Elite not just for the four lead but also bridge pup could be Reverse Wind Reverse Polarity (RWRP) so the middle split is in phase. Maybe player's unique sweat chemistry reacted with the finish and the plastic to make that weird yellow stain. Prefer push pull and two tone pots to these master tone/toggle.
It's so great the bridge lost it's wire! I hate that wire. Sometimes, you have to switch a saddle around to adjust the intonation and you can't with that wire. The string tension holds the saddles down so the wire seems useless to me.
For 4 decades, I have been bothered by Gibson's peculiar inability to make instruments that would be in tune even after playing for 90 seconds. Only they can match a virtually perfect T-o-M hardtail with a perfectly weak-minded string setup on the headstock... What amazes me even more is the willingness of copycats to go to court over such crap? This "classic" head shape with added locking systems and micro tuners is called a price scam by an honest dealer!🤓
It is not a stud! The stud is the threaded rod that screws into the body or screws into the "INSERT" that is pressed into the body for the "STUD" to screw into. Simply put, the piece that is inserted into the body is in itself known as an INSERT. Not a STUD.
I don’t recall ever seeing a Kahler finger lever string lock on a Gibson, they always used the standard string lock that uses a wrench. My guess is that it was added to the guitar afterwards…
I just picked up a 2017 White SG custom 2 pickup, and I haven’t seen a lot of them around. My jaw dropped when you opened the case, to find out it’s not a custom. 😆
Hey Austin, great vid. I reckon that the toggle switch for coil-splitting has also been replaced. That looks like a more modern unit than I'd expect to find
Your brutal honesty regarding the playability of this guitar is really appreciated by me. It is certainly a beautiful looking guitar, but if she don’t play well then she would not be the one for me.
Yeah back in 1980 I ordered a Custom Shop one off Explorer in my name.. and the color Gibson called it was Bone White..and really close to what you have there.. It also had the TPC Fine tuner tail piece..
Very rare and unusual SG! It's like a white SG custom and an SG standard had a baby together! I can't believe the amazing condition that this guitar is in. The previous owner/s obviously took very good care of it. Despite all of its unique features I too was not that impressed with its overall sound unfortunately. I did like how it sounded in the middle position and in the split/single coil mode with some distortion, that was my favorite part. Regardless still a unique piece, maybe a little too over engineered and too much extra stuff that didn't seem to help it in the long run sadly
Have you documented a Gibson 2015 Ltd Edition Japan Les Paul Traditional - the Japanese release??? I ask because I have a friend selling one on 9.7/10 condition (missing stock robo tuners) he's asking a very fair price and I'm wondering if they are desired by collectors
How come when inspiration hits it's inconvenient to play? But when you don't feel like playing because of being uninspired your guitar sits in the corner and mocks you.
Those kahler flip locks are awesome. Wish Floyd used a similar set up. Allen wrenches suck. I have TP-6’s on all my Gibson’s. Generally because I’m used to playing Floyd guitars and I’m used to tuning at the bridge. And they look pretty damn cool too.
You are looking at a guitar that was bough by the previous generations trogly and kept in storage as a collector's model and now trogly will keep it until the cycle is repeated
Seeing your new TShirt design with the nut width and your nickname on the headstock makes me think if you ever get your signature it's got to have your nickname exactly there . Of course the Gibson name would be on it but it would of course be known as The Trogley. When I saw the string locks on the headstock first thing I thought was it has no tremolo system so that is pointless. Even with the tp6 on board. I noticed the discoloration below where the TP6 is also. It seems areas that got little or no air is where it tended to yellow.
I love SG’s and I particularly favor the white ones as well, then that gorgeous ebony board to just put the icing on the cake. I’d love it 🤙 In 2017 Gibson made a run of exclusives for Sam Ash Music, I own one. They came in Arctic White and the smaller pick guard too, however sadly no Ebony board or real Mother of toilet seat inlays ahah! It’s a fantastic guitar though and the rosewood board is very dark ( these also came with the standard trapezoid plastic in lays ). It also came with the standard Nashville bridge and Stop Bar tail of course too. I’m pretty sure outside of going custom shop on the later models those were the only ‘affordable Standards’ you could find in white. The neck on the 2017 Sam Ash one is also thinner almost feeling like the Ibanez U necks but not quite as drastic with a tad bit larger shoulder. Anyway, I love your channel Austin… it’s my morning ritual along with my cup of coffee each and every morning 🤙
I like sg standards in burgundy or black that's it but being a les Paul player they are real uncomfortable to play because the necks are longer so its changes my playing position
Trog, saw a hot rod red Gibson electric single pick up guitar, not a SG , solid body with the banana head stock in a glass case at the Nashville Airport. A real beauty! Help me out here, thanks!
Surprised you didn't try to find the Sunset Finish to document and deno. I almost scored an SG Elite in Sunset Metallic a few years ago on eBay for around 1,600 but I didn't win the auction as my internet was acting up the last minute. I was so mad but hey that's life.
My god, this is my guitar, well was my guitar, I sold it back in 2019 and then the guy I sold it too sold it again on reverb and I Almost bought it back, was wondering where it ended it up cause I want it back, I’m the guy that bought from you the Gibson Mod Shop Les Paul Custom gold sparkle SilverBurst last year ….. is this guitar available? I want her back ….and I know it’s her cause of that ding on the back of the guitar close to the control cavity and the chainsaw case is missing a latch….
The only SG I ever liked was the one with a maple top. But, even today I don't like them. They look like the bat-man logo built as a custom job and I'm not impressed!
What do you know. Gibson actually made an SG speced exactly as I would want one. I’m a big fan of ebony fretboards and love the coil splitting. I prefer an SG with the smaller pick guard and love the white color. Who knows, might need to check one out if I can find one for a reasonable price. Reasonably priced Gibson is an oxymoron unfortunately.

The discoloration under the TP-6, could it be reacting with the black metal of the “fingers” that hold the string ends?
Aren't those nut clamps suppose to push down and close up after those wedges are screwed down?
Middle hum was the only tone I said damn! The others sounded shrill, however in a mix with a band it could find its place.
You are looking at a guitar that was bough by the previous generations trogly and kept in storage as a collector's model and now trogly will keep it until the cycle is repeated

I’m pretty sure outside of going custom shop on the later models those were the only ‘affordable Standards’ you could find in white. The neck on the 2017 Sam Ash one is also thinner almost feeling like the Ibanez U necks but not quite as drastic with a tad bit larger shoulder.
Anyway, I love your channel Austin… it’s my morning ritual along with my cup of coffee each and every morning 🤙
My favorite sg is 2 pickup, white with gold hardware.
Solder joints can be easily cleaned up to look original again. Not big deal.
That SG is gorgeous
I like sg standards in burgundy or black that's it but being a les Paul player they are real uncomfortable to play because the necks are longer so its changes my playing position
It would appear it’s not actually a locking nut but a device to achieve straight string pull through the nut.
Maybe it could be used that way, but it certainly “can” lock it down if it wants to
Trog, saw a hot rod red Gibson electric single pick up guitar, not a SG , solid body with the banana head stock in a glass case at the Nashville Airport. A real beauty! Help me out here, thanks!
Very nice pearl white les paul, very clean
YES!!!
I really like that white SG. I was ever to buy an SG, that would be the one. It really speaks to me.
Surprised you didn't try to find the Sunset Finish to document and deno. I almost scored an SG Elite in Sunset Metallic a few years ago on eBay for around 1,600 but I didn't win the auction as my internet was acting up the last minute. I was so mad but hey that's life.
My god, this is my guitar, well was my guitar, I sold it back in 2019 and then the guy I sold it too sold it again on reverb and I Almost bought it back, was wondering where it ended it up cause I want it back, I’m the guy that bought from you the Gibson Mod Shop Les Paul Custom gold sparkle SilverBurst last year ….. is this guitar available? I want her back ….and I know it’s her cause of that ding on the back of the guitar close to the control cavity and the chainsaw case is missing a latch….
The only SG I ever liked was the one with a maple top. But, even today I don't like them. They look like the bat-man logo built as a custom job and I'm not impressed!
What do you know. Gibson actually made an SG speced exactly as I would want one. I’m a big fan of ebony fretboards and love the coil splitting. I prefer an SG with the smaller pick guard and love the white color. Who knows, might need to check one out if I can find one for a reasonable price. Reasonably priced Gibson is an oxymoron unfortunately.
Looking like an eggshell white to me.
Those are Kahler String lock pros. Interesting
Love the tp6 tail pc,do they work

Finally received my Adam Jones Les Paul and it’s completely scratched up. Will Gibson fix the finish their guy that signed off on the QC card?
Wow that sg looks a lot like the one that daron used on the hypnotize video
17:54 YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE! You're my boy.
Was the SG body always so lite?
