0:51 Come on Mr T, that's not a swoop, it's a "whoop di woo"
😂
It's so great when you point out things like the clown face, one paint job that looked like a bowling ball, a watermelon, etc... I just had an idea, to make a "What Trogly sees in guitars" compilation video! That would take a year...going through all your videos to pick out those little tidbits, but it would be worth it!!
I updated my Epiphone with tone pro stuff...very very cool and worth it IMO
Fender Baritone Special HH is a beast , made in Japan 2005
Yeah, there's a huge difference on some things on ESP vs LTD, the top carve on an Eclipse (Single cut) is much deeper and more pronounced on an ESP and pictures clearly show the contours on the ESP Snakebyte being much more pronounced as well.
Macassar Ebony is a very streaky wood.
When I was a teenager, I was playing in a heavy metal band (heavy metal sounds more wholesome to me) in a relatively small city; so when we played shows alot of the same bands would play.
There was this dude in one of the bands that was 100% convinced that the only ESP guitars that exist are signature guitars...
Dude drove me nuts. Tried to explain some things to him, wouldn't listen.
Felicidades Emanuel, the new guitar is beautiful.
James first had a SG with a baritone scale length, it was black with green flames and limited run. These snakebyte guitars are lawsuit explorers, they were initially the style as Gibsons but had to change the shape a bit. I have his book about his guitars thats how i know 😊
That's cool
I love that his Grynch signature model came badged as an LTD - because that's what the original was - even though it was a full blown ESP model.
Could you imagine Gibson doing that if someone got famous playing an Epiphone?
It's funny. Most active pickups you need a light touch to not get that string punch. Also, add in the baritone, and this is NOT in Trogs wheelhouse play wise, lol.
What do you mean by "light touch" exactly??
@APPEALtoFEAR
Softer pick attack. Light flick of the wrist as opposed to the deliberate, hard punch that Trogly uses when playing higher gain tunes. Tends to stiffen up and lock the wrist, why his tremolo picking while palm muting is slow and off tempo 99% of the time. Like the gallop. It is almost like you want to vibrate, so the 2nd and 3rd plucks are coincidental to the 1st one. Hope this helps to explain. I'm not good at breaking things down if someone doesn't get what I say (which is my fault).
@@leviathan_is_me Thanks for explaining.
There are so many little things that can affect someone's playing style. I used to be able to pick really fast, but I fractured my arm right below my shoulder a couple years ago, haven't been able to play nearly as fast ever since.
@APPEALtoFEAR I'm sure you found alternate techniques to use. We are a "find a way" bunch, lol.
I remember when the Snakebyte came out and i just didn't like the design mod but after playing one in GC, it's pretty awesome. Balance and playability is like the guitar out of the way
love metallica and trogly
C# is actually what James hetfield has his baritones tuned to (used for things on st anger, the thing that should not be, and dream no more)
Yes, St. Anger is definitely a thing that should not be.
@@hoilst265 real
I’ve never tried to listen to more than one song off of it, AWMH I have listened to the album version, but the live acoustic version is so much better than album
That is a nice instrument you got there. That sticks out in a crowd.
I have this one and the ESP white snakebyte, both of which I managed to get before the sky rocketing prices. Absolutely love both of them! As much as I would love to see a Gibson signature guitar, I'm afraid they may jump on the fact that everybody wants it and charge way too much because they know they can. Because as much as I love Kirk, everyone has been champing to the bit for a James Hetfield Gibson signature for years.
Another great Snakebyte review! So cool! It would be awesome to see more ESP stuff here 🙂
Sweet Snakebite LTD Baritone! Trogly missed the dog face between the EMG pickups!
Yeah! Looks like blues clue dog to me
This is my first guitar I've had for 2 years now. I didn't know it had a larger scale length till now. I wonder how it will be to play on a smaller guitar
This is one I had a chance to get when they were new and I regret passing on.
LTD are beautiful and great playing guitars that out perform many US made Fender and Gibsons of the same price range. I have a 2001 LTD KH-502 and other than the cheap fake floyd rose that came with it and the frets wearing out easily, it was a nice guitar for the $700 I paid for it back then. I put real EMG 81/89's on it vs the HZ models it came with, and upgraded to a real Floyd Rose because that fake one would not stay in tune and had dents in string clamps on the bridge. Also put stainless frets on it about 15 years ago and it's great now. One of my favorite guitars to play and smoother than my PRS SE though the PRS is much prettier.
Should do a review on Jericho Explorer
Maybe it's my hearing today or how you uploaded this, but this thing sounds FANTASTIC, lucky owner.
Undyed ebony needs to be a thing across more brands. It’s gorgous!
I tried the PRS 277, but didn’t like it; however, Fender sells baritone conversion necks, so there’s your “baritone everything!”
Oh yeah matches the Tshirt, it's a keeper
The set screws fell out of the Tonepros bridge on my Slash... good luck ever finding those if you need to.
That thing is beautiful. The perfect purple colour too Mr Trogly.
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
I think it's just the purple baratone that is extra blocky. The normal LTDs are the same shape as the ESPs.
As far as punchy sounds go the only guy that comes to mind back in the 70s goes is Gary Richrath. I dont know what hi set up and tuning was but he sure could pull out some chunky tones as well as blistering highs when doing a lead run.
One hell of a guitar there!
More ESP models please! Especially Edwards and Navigator!
For E Standard I'd need 7 Gauge Strings
Nah, have the high 5 strings as normal then have a Low A
I like how it could be snowing outside and Trogly will always be in basketball shorts
Hey Trogly, I was wondering if you could post which amps you use for your playing demos? It'd be nice to know for reference :)
Very nice! Did you know 7 or 8 esp custom shop versions were made of this one? I’m the lucky owner of one of them
Chapman guitars has a baritone. Check out some of Rabea Masaads clean baritones
Number 295 sold on reverb yesterday
I always think of the white gibson explorer. Looks like a nice guitar
I have a case like that for amec1000 and they aren't the nicest imo
hope your buddy likes his guitar. its nice looking. ill pass a extra long baritone guitars
Tone pros should be locked after intonation because if the slight olay when the screw is lose
There are some players that still LOVE the ESP brand. Bruce Kulick, formerly of Kiss, comes to mind.
I use 9s in general but I have used 8s after watching an interview with Billy Gibbons and he said he uses 8s.
You should take a ruler to show the contour on the top of the guitar...🎸🎸🎸
Oh I’d kill for one of these
That color is amazing!!
Getting major Sunn o))) vibes here
Hey there
Random peace peace
Howdy
Hullo...
We want more ESPs🤘🏻🍻
How has ESP not got into trouble with this design as it’s pretty much a like-for-like of a Schecter E-1 Apocalypse
This shape has been growing on me lately
2:33 I just picked one up for $2499
That is the sexiest modern guitar I have ever seen.
First time I see a Guitar completely changing trogly's playstyle!
although, even being a metal guy, I personally am not a fan of active humbuckers, these sound way too dark for me, even dull in a way...
I'm used to the brightness of my Tele!
wow, what a great quilt top!
Korea, is making the best guitar's right now, thatlooks good on you Trogly.
One hell of a guitar you got there!
Z is for late.

Greetings Sarge, Happy Good Friday Sir
I love the esp vids man!
That’s my dream guitar 🥺
UHU POR styrofoam adhesive will fix the loose case insert 👍🏼
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TROGLY TO MAKE A VIDEO ON ONE OF THESE OMG ITS HAPPENING OMGGGGGGG
He did an actual ESP white snakbyte not that long ago.
I get that Gibson are funny about other brands using their body styles but it just doesn’t look right to me, here’s hoping they get James on board to do signature models at Gibson and Epiphone
Damn I need me one of those!
I liked it,,but very sassy... it's cool...
Surely the sticker on the battery compartment should read, "Battery is found in me!"
(If you have to ask why, then this isn't the guitar for you)
"There is a fine line between clever and stupid"
I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE
Still no Heritage Guitar review....why the hate?
Love the sound
Stevie Ray Vaughan played 13 gauge strings on the high E string!!!!!
I swear you put up metal axes to get the Kool kids to watch
Okay I don't like Metallica but this thing is absolutely fucking fantastic
Damn that’s so sick, I love Metallica and they are one of my biggest inspirations for playing guitar. Hey Trogly I’ve been a huge fan for years, I’m a poor, broke guitarist who has no gear but an old crappy acoustic guitar. Is there any chance you could help a guitar player and fan out by donating a cheap electric guitar or know anyone who might be willing to donate an electric guitar to a struggling musician? I just want to play and create music again which was my only love in this world. I’m a good person and not someone trying to take advantage or anything shady. I gave you my honesty and transparency even though it embarrasses me. After losing my job during the pandemic I had a sort of mental health breakdown and because I couldn’t work I had to sell all my gear to survive with rent, bills and food. I pray to God each day for help and hope for one day to be blessed by the almighty, however it may happen. Take care sir, I apologize for the long message and embarrassing words that others are going to read. God bless everyone.
It took me like 2 years just to pay off my Flying V. You'll see more guitars in a week than I will in my entire life , and I have like 19 of them.
It's insane... the amount of stuff you go through 🤯
The gap in the case is to discreetly transport your medicinal smoking herbs 😂
I know it's a small thing, but it drives me nuts when you play "Call of Ktulu" using two notes at the beginning of each stanza. Eeuh!
I don’t know why Gibson wouldn’t use a bridge and tail piece that locked in place.
They've used it stock on some models
@@Trog thanks for the reply! It was an honor to receive my new found information! Take care😉
Rawk
I love purple and quilted maple tips, but that one looks like "photo quilt" on tv anyway, and that body shape should be called the buzzard, or the turkey! The headstock is cool, but the body shape looks weird!
Agreed on both
Those Korean made guitars are really well made instruments, if you're a beginner and can't afford a good guitar, you can consider buying a used one. I have an old Dean lawsuit V made in Korea and compared to affordable guitars of today's market it has nice specifications.
Yeah, I have a LTD bass that feels kind of blocky.

How do everyone!!
I really do think Gibson will SOMEDAY roll out some kind of James Hetfield guitar, either a Les Paul or Explorer… just feels like leaving money on the table. Especially after all the work they did with Kirk.
Or even his white V
@@arnieimm yeah! That would have been a great one to go with Kirks V.
I’m surprised they didn’t do anything when they did the 80s Explorer this past year. Feels like it would have been great timing
1 see a bird on the guitar
Great...now the one I've been looking at will probably skyrocket in price - or be sold - by the time I can make the move on it. 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
There's quite the sound difference between an ESP and LTD Hetfield guitar, all it seems to come down to is the electronics being soldered on the Korean and quick connect system on the ESP, ESP sounds better.
The electrical connections are not gonna make any difference in the sound.
@@216trixie It's not just the connections, pots and probably caps as well. They do sound different, can't be anything but the electronics as that's what is most different between the ESP and LTD
Lush!
The thing with Gibson is slash has too many Signiture guitars I still do love slash but give others a chance. I mean Adam jokes has one, Angus Young has 3 and James hetfield none give hetfield a Signiture Gibson
And Sully Erna
Alot of ppl don't know this.. but you can put your drugs in that ltd case gap....😂
😂
ahaa....hmmm...no...not for me today cheers....
Yahoo
I haven’t finished the video but if you don’t take the opportunity to play the thing that should not be, mister Austin…… no more Metallica for you! Lol
Get a high gain amp damn bro!
Didnt love the sound of this one.
I don't like that shape.
ESP cases are notoriously shitty
I missed the LTD in the thumb or I never would have clicked.
✌️
That's not a Les Paul.
See ya tomorrow
Pretty crazy that other guitars exist, right?
@@diabeticmonkey yep
It’s not a clown face. It’s BOWSER
Better built for the price. anything gibson has done
