Hello, I am the Uncle Bryan that is getting this guitar, the reason that my nephew got it for me was that lavender was my wife's favorite color. Diane my wife of over 40 years and Chris's Aunt all of his life, passed away suddenly, almost 3 years ago now. when Chris saw this, he knew he had to get it for me, and I feel so honored that he loved his Aunt Diane so much...
Very cool. I had an Uncle I loved a lot as well. I hope you enjoy your new guitar, you have a good nephew, who apparently thinks your a great uncle. Rock on!
Thanks for the birthday message Trogly. I know this guitar means the world to my Uncle Bryan. He lost his wife not long ago and this guitar was her favorite color. The guitar has been dubbed "the Spirit of Diane," in her memory. Thanks again for making this birthday wish that little bit more special.
I bought one of these in the same color sight unseen the moment I saw it online at NAMM Show review. Always wanted an SG type guitar and this one forced me to pull the trigger. For the price I don't think you can beat it. And by the way I am a 50 year old man, but I play funk music so the color suits just fine. And by the way Mr. I Trogly, kind of purple and kind of pink is called Magenta! Many argue whether this is actually a color or not because it does not naturally appear on the color spectrum which is what fascinates me about the color. It is literally, off the chart! Looks fantastic, plays great and sounds awesome. As Trogly said there is nothing to do but just choose your color...
I bought one in scarlet red a couple of months ago. Even the pro photos that Sweetwater sends you after you buy one didn't do it justice, and the fit and finish, binding etc... were as good as perfect. Very happy! It's a player and a keeper for less than $450. Do yourself a favor and go play one before you spend more.
It’s too bad that Gibson won’t loosen up a bit and start offering these wider ranges of colors and finishes. It’s a bummer to see guitars with great specs done in tired colors and finishes. The options for finishes is often what drives people to boutique brands.
I mean... If there was a market for them I'm sure they would. Even if a couple people get driven to boutique brands, that small amount of people alone wouldn't make it cost effective.
TheMichiganfan97 I own a Kiesel. It’s a fantastic instrument. Built with my choice of tone wood, top, colors, and finish, ordered and built in 8 weeks. Gibson cannot compete with that. (And I own a Gibson too, so I have something to compare it to).
@@natashanyxx9486 LOL. Gibson "can't compete" with that? Are... Are you serious? Gibson has an annual revenue of around $1 billion. Yet they "can't compete" with a tiny company more notable for inexcusable customer service than anything guitar related? Yikes.
Lol my first guitar was a hot pink Daisy Rock LP copy that was like $400. It has Duncan Designed pickups and grover tuners. I mainly play an Ibanez ART100 (another cheap LP style guitar) now. All unbranded parts but it's way lighter than the Daisy Rock.
@@BucsRaysBolts: Lol my first electric was a Ruby Sparkle Daisy Rock Retro-H De-Luxe - like $400. Duncan Designed minis, Grovers & a genuine Bigsby. KILLER tone.
@@slapittywapitty8173 Cool I never knew they released a semi hollow. I just looked mine up and it's the Rock Candy Classic. It sounds great but the weight kills my back now.
I bought the red one. The neck feels great. I thought I might have to change the pickups, but I love them. I play this as much as my #1 2012 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
The best looking guitar in my collection is an Ibanez RG1XXV in Fluorescent Pink. The pink shark tooth inlays are really cool. I didn't think I would like a pink guitar so much. Now I want a Jackson Dinky DK2 in neon pink, and a Fender HM Strat in flash pink. And of course an SG Muse in purple passion metallic (which looks pinkish too).
Trogly this has been the guitar I've been waffling to buy as my next guitar (or a G&L Doheny, would be cool to see some G&L love here on the channel) and this video is seriously making me question my decision, it's SO much prettier in video than I ever thought it would be from pictures, and I already loved the photos!!! Thanks for this video :)
Hihow the first G&L I bought (GT-90) was so incredibly good I somehow ended up with two more G&Ls far too quickly. (HB3 and an ASAT Tribute, all deals, all excellent).
The green one is DOPE. The pickups sound pretty rough to me. But for this price throwing in some SD 59's would give you a great sounding guitar too. I had an epiphone SG with p90's and it was one of my favorite guitars ever. These colors are great for the stage!
When I was a fourth grader in 1965, my friend Danny received a purple Schwinn Stingray bicycle for his birthday. All the other kids at his party, and I, thought it was the coolest bike ever.
Regarding top mounted jacks, it's the lever action of a big straight plug that leads to damage if you accidentally bump it. Use an angle plug on a top mount jack. I like the color. A lot like Burgundy Mist on my phone anyway.
American Musical Supply has a run of the SG moderns in different color options like trans red and honeyburst. Loaded with quality parts, you just can't go wrong with the Epiphone SG Modern. The build quality exceeds expectations at the price point but the neck on this guitar is simply outstanding! It plays like a dream! I love mine! Toss your favorite set of pickups in it and you'll be playing it a lot!
I got the modern wasn’t planning on it, but the asymmetric neck was more comfortable in my hand than other guitars in the price range despite the glossy finish. I swapped out clear speed knobs for black, looks stunning, plays great, stays in tune and the out of phase sound is delicious. It is a little on the heavy side compared to the other SG models in stock but I can live with it.
I bought the pearl white muse back in April and I've enjoyed it as is but I always bought it with the intention of upgrading the wiring and pickups Maybe put a full black batwing pick guard on it too for a real stunner of a look. Great review and demo as always
I can see myself putting some good vintage tuners. The electronics and pickups I'm actually pretty happy with! And I always wanted a good green guitar lol
Looking for some advice: I got the SG Muse around 9 months ago. However, recently I'm finding that the neck pickup only works if the phase inversion pot is pulled out. The neck pickup doesn't work at all when the phase inversion is pushed in. This has just started happening recently and I honestly cannot figure what is causing it. A few months back I put replaced the pickup covers with some gold ones, but as far as I'm aware I didn't break any wires/connections anywhere. But this issue with the neck pickup has only started recently. Basically means if I'm in the middle position, I need to have the phase inversion active, otherwise only the bridge pickup is working! I'm at a total loss with it!
Glam Rock band member here..! Hahaha! This is the color I want for mine! I already have the Blue LP. Killer pickups, great coil splitting/ phase action... super affordable! 🤘😎⚡️
I got the black one recently on sale for £249 and I'm very impressed with it. Would have preferred the pink or almond finish, but they cost like £150 more or so. I'm very pleasantly suprised and impressed with the black one though. The jet black metallic finish looks really nice when the light catches it, especially yellow lighting. It's quite understated on first glance, but is actually a beautiful guitar. Plays and sounds great too!
Great video. I am in the market for an Epiphone SG but getting model overload. You have the Muse line, Standard, Classic and Custom. I might be missing some. I would love to figure out how they standup against each other. Although I am NOT a fan of the output jack in the front. As far as I know, only the Muse has it on the side. This will likely drive my selection unless there is something about the Standard that makes it the winner.
Bought the SG Muse in Radio Blue. Absolute stunner ! First upgrade on all my guitars is locking tuners. Side output jack , no pick guard , clear knobs, coil split and phase switch all modern twists. Comes with the classic SG neck dive. Would move the top strap button to a better location. Great piece of gear !
I was wanting to hold out for the prophecy series, but i saw a local shop had one of these in this amazing color for only $350 so i caved. Been loving it a lot and I love taking this guitar out of my coffin case and playing some sabbath on it lol.
I just got the green one last week. I'm very happy with it! Neck plays very easy, and nice electronics and pick-ups for the price! Sounded great out of the box. It'll be a good little gigging axe for our heavier songs my Strat isnt best suited for. The knobs LOOK great, but are sketchy fitting. That's really my only main complaint with the guitar, and Grover tuners would have been nice too.
Just ordered the Wanderlust Green!!! Ur vid makes me feel much better about my decision! GTech Locking tuners, ripping her guts an pick ups out popping in DarkMoon🌑.🤘
My 2021 Epi SG Modern Figured (in Honeyburst) arrived in VERY good shape. No sharp fret ends, no buzzing, no finish issues. Just a string change, fretboard conditioning and a few minor adjustments was all it needed. My 2020 Les Paul Standard 50's, on the other hand, was pretty terrible.
Every blue moon a really good Epiphone will surface. This may be blasphemous to say on Trogly's channel, but I'm 55 years old and in my guitar playing life of almost 40 years, I have owned several Gibson Les Pauls, but the absolute best Les Paul I've had is a 2015 Limited Edition 100th Anniversary Epiphone Les Paul in Natural finish. That axe is exquisite. Best LP hands down.
@@johndef5075 I must admit, my LP has the deluxe Dovewing headstock, but yes...that headstock complaint is ridiculous...a guitar plays good or it doesn't...
Got mine for 380 and a free detail and setup :) Made some upgrades and feeling good! My fretboard is pretty smooth as well Tuners needed tightens badly, switch is loose.
Out-of-phase isn't for everyday? Someone's gotta tell the guitarist from Khurangbin. Is the Modern/Muse electronic setup the same as the Jimmy Page wiring?
I have the wanderlust green SG and it's beautiful! in person ( bought at a pawn shop in excellent condition for $200 so setup and strings were needed ) and I love it ( also have a custom built SG ). I need that pink one. I have a Hello Kitty sticker I want to put on it. ( I am an SG fanboy LOL ) It's awesome!!!. I like the jack position honestly. I always use D'D or EB strings ( depending on the bridge ) I always change to locking tuners other than my Custom SG ( has vintage greens ). This Muse is a great! guitar and the price point is perfect IMO.
I like the switching options. Not a fan of the color or the rings and control cover color. But I agree about the modern being best choice despite lack of color options.
I have the white one. The neck, tuning, intonation...all perfect. BUT. The pickups blow as do the electronics. It’s PCB wiring, so a pick up swap needs to be rewired. I did the full job plus Whole Lotta Humbuckers (Seymour Duncan). It sounds and plays amazing. I got it in January and rarely play any of my other guitars and I play every day. I love mine.
All 3 Johnson guitars are for sale on Reverb! Pokey, Gumby and Betty Boop. Reverb News has an article with Earl Slick explaining those three guitars, and cracking up his bandmate by flashing Gumby's eye lights at him.
The Modern has 24 frets, Muse 22. That gets rid of the weird tenon cover and extends your range all in one swell foop. I've loved SG's since they came out but oddly just couldn't look past the tenon cover, it always bugged me. So when Gibson came out with a 24 fret SG, perfect solution! I grabbed it.
I love Batwing on the smaller heel.. Pink is a bonus... Wondering if the switch etc would be in the way of a pearly Batwing.. Gold hardware and Zebra Coils. And the Nanomag in the tenon area. The indian laurel would tempt me to pull the frets CA coat and refinish polished then put frets in again..
By now i played and recorded a lot with the SG Muse and it it is still fantastic. It looks different in every light as you can see in our new Music Video on our channel
The locking grover tuners them selves are almost worth the $120 upgrade. I bought my first set of locking keys earlier this year and threw them on a Floyd equipped jackson Soloist. Now i'll probably put locking keys on every future guitar I own from here on out.

Happy Birthday Uncle Brian!
That is an awesome tribute. SG = Special Guitar
Very cool. I had an Uncle I loved a lot as well. I hope you enjoy your new guitar, you have a good nephew, who apparently thinks your a great uncle. Rock on!
Hey Uncle Bryan, hope you're enjoying this guitar still.
Much love
The one epiphone I seriously considered buying. Love that color.
I’m going through a pink guitar phase myself. Saw a guy playing a pink strat with maple neck and it was stunning. This SG looks great too
I have a shell pink Tele and a neon pink Jackson soloist and have featured both on my channel. I ain’t scared
i’m buying a epiphone les paul alpine white, not buying a real gibson because they are so ungodly expensive
I owned a pinkish (metallic sunset) 80’s custom lite and a pink 80’s Vandenburg at one time. Wish I still had both.
Same here
I thought about changing the plastics to black and getting a pearloid pickguard
I’m gonna use the pink one for my doom and black metal bands
YES.
My niece plays in a sludge metal band & loves pink. She doesn't know it yet, but she'll be adding this to her aresnal.
Same im gonna be playing this in my grindcore and powerviolence bands
@@bobkaiser8782 does she love it now?
Lmao amazing
I bought this SG Muse for me but my daughter likes it more than me haha, it’s her favorite.
very cool!.. hope you're well...:)
Holy Crap! Krist Novoselic! Greetings from Wenatchee! hope all is well on the coast!
Daniel Travis right?
Are we the only ones who’ve noticed..?.:)

Perfect even for a 53 year old girl!!!! I love it!!!

Love your videos! The one you did on the purple LP Classic Worn actually led to my buying one and proceeding to mod it out, and I love the guitar
Saw the whole color set and was blown away at a local shop. Definitely on the to-get list
I bought that one this past summer for my daughter.
I LOVE the side mounted jack! 10/10
YES DUDE ive been waiting for you to do a review of the sg in this colour im so happy
I’ve taken countless 2020 epiphones out of boxes and they’re all bloody good, Gibsons always need a neck adjustment and action setup
I really like the look of a SG without the pickgaurd.
Martin Baker I think it looks much better with than without, but to each their own.
@@ZaneDalton same. Gave it some edge and heftiness
OMG! Yessssssss! Finally! Thanks for the video ☺️

The colour is really nice, and i'm glad gibson makes epiphones with the original headstock shape now. Looks much better than the old shape.
The black sparkle les Paul is beautiful !!
The playing in the first distortion sound sample was awesome
These things definitely like gain! The coil splitting does make them better clean guitars than I expected
Hells yeah..ide like to know exactly what he had going on.
I really liked the white one you showed. Thin neck is great for beginners too. Most importantly, the pink one sounded good.
At that price and Epiphone quality, you can't beat it!
Thank you for the video and review.
these new epiphones are cool man!
The green one is DOPE. The pickups sound pretty rough to me. But for this price throwing in some SD 59's would give you a great sounding guitar too. I had an epiphone SG with p90's and it was one of my favorite guitars ever. These colors are great for the stage!
The green muse SG looks like squidward
When I was a fourth grader in 1965, my friend Danny received a purple Schwinn Stingray bicycle for his birthday. All the other kids at his party, and I, thought it was the coolest bike ever.
Regarding top mounted jacks, it's the lever action of a big straight plug that leads to damage if you accidentally bump it. Use an angle plug on a top mount jack.

Dont feel bad about an honest review. You didnt do the bad fret job.....
The white looks really nice in person. Has some sparkle in the white
Having worked at a local music store for a year, one of the fun bits was tearing into a new shipment of guitars and checking them all for QC.

Do a review of. Epiphone SG standard with the bigger pickguard.
Excellent job as always! Thank you!
Out-of-phase isn't for everyday? Someone's gotta tell the guitarist from Khurangbin.
Is the Modern/Muse electronic setup the same as the Jimmy Page wiring?
This entire line is amazing.
I got a jet black metallic 3 months ago, absolutely loving it although the tuners aren't that good.
Austin! How did you get the board to look so good? What oil/conditioner did you use and how much TLC did you give it? Looks fantastic dude!

Can't find the Epiphone SG Modern Review, have I dreamed Trogly made one or was it removed by youtube for some kind of reason?
Wish you would include the dimensions of the guitar. Overall length, depth and bout.
I would rock that guitar and I like the color also
Welcome back, chocolate ice!
I played this guitar at sam ash about a month ago. It was really cool but the neck dive was too much so I decided to buy a Micheal Kelly 63 instead.
Good choice 👍
$429. Wowzerz Trogly, that is a great color and at that price one could have enough for a real luthier set-up.
Beautiful.
The Modern has 24 frets, Muse 22. That gets rid of the weird tenon cover and extends your range all in one swell foop.
I've loved SG's since they came out but oddly just couldn't look past the tenon cover, it always bugged me. So when Gibson came out with a 24 fret SG, perfect solution! I grabbed it.
I love Batwing on the smaller heel.. Pink is a bonus... Wondering if the switch etc would be in the way of a pearly Batwing..
Gold hardware and Zebra Coils.
And the Nanomag in the tenon area.
The indian laurel would tempt me to pull the frets CA coat and refinish polished then put frets in again..
Is there a way to replace just the last pot with one P/P-pot, do a little bit of soldering and add a serial position for both PUs?
Just bought used cause could not find new but it is in Excellent condition
Not into sparkle but an alpine white would be excellent. Seems like a lot of people have signed off on them. Is the Modern weight relief?
I don’t like the extra piece between the neck pickup and the neck. If they didn’t screw but leave in the box, one could choice to install that or not
Hi Trogly. Do you know something about the Epiphone 2020 Les Paul 59 outfit? I saw it in some videos but there's no official info about it.
Is the white stuff behind the pick up a problem?? My 2020 Epiphone Les Paul Standards 60’s the bridge pick up has that white stuff behind it.
Awesome shredding at 3:38 x-))
By now i played and recorded a lot with the SG Muse and it it is still fantastic. It looks different in every light as you can see in our new Music Video on our channel
I love that color! If I didn't already have a G400 in worn cherry, I'd definitely buy one... but then id need a blue one and a green one and... :-P
I may have to get another Epi with the new/better headstock. Maybe a Dot 335 or something
Luv the green, almond, and the purple, although I would prefer the LP Muse, over the SG.
“The Muse has those 7 fruity colors.” 🤣 I love that.
The locking grover tuners them selves are almost worth the $120 upgrade. I bought my first set of locking keys earlier this year and threw them on a Floyd equipped jackson Soloist. Now i'll probably put locking keys on every future guitar I own from here on out.
What if you just buy the guitar and switch out the tuners?
I acquired a G-400 with a fat neck. The guitar is killer!
Love the color options
