@@michaelknight4041 I’ve seen Junior in concert a few times, once in the Sarett Student Center at Vanderbilt from the 6th row. Amazing how he plays that and sings too…

Trogly mentions Stairway OF Heaven. It’s Stairway TO heaven. Cool kids just call it Stairway, but I’m too old and not cool enough. Keep spoiling us with new content Trogly. I watch so much I think I recognize his voice anywhere.
Ahhh!!! The ever elusive "Gibsun" EDS-1275. Great job! Now both halves are useful, 'cause we all know doublenecks are just awkward AF. You couls attach a couple of latches so you could slap 'em back together just in case the need arises. I'll have to do that to my Rick 4080, it's a little over 14.5 lbs. 👍
Mike Ruthford from Genesis had a few detachable Doubleneck Bass, 6 string and 12 string halfes made from shergold guitars and basses. They were put together by using some metal bars in the back and he could combine whatever he wanted or needed. If you look closely at pictures of those doublenecks you can see where they were put together.
Reminiscent of the episode over on the Watch Repair Channel where Mark was looking at the current state of "how good are fake Rolexes these days?" and at the end of his eval cut the phony Rolex in half with an angle grinder. It was beautiful. :D
Love those double slug custom buckers and those sweet custom shop alpha mini pots. Gibson has really stepped up their game. Plus 2006 Gibson’s are the best- they always have an Asian feel to em
No no no no no no!! Austin, wow...I just can't go along with this separation, did you even use a local to kill the pain during separation? I'm a solid fan of your site but this was extremely painful to watch. 😥😥😭😭 Ohhhh, it's a Chipsun, still it was painful to watch..😪😔
Being that this is now September I realize I am late for the April 1 party. I also realized that my subscription to this channel was canceled. thanks YT🖕 That being said, I like the new tone of both halves of the double neck. It seems to have a much brighter tone than the complete un-cut version.
I remember another guitarist on RUclips talking about how badly he’d always wanted one of these, but could never find one. It would be pretty funny seeing his reaction to this.
I recently bought one of the Firefly bass/six string combos, and while it it essentially a Chibson, it sure is fun. Mine is 13 lbs, so not too outrageously heavy. I’m kinda sorry to see one get hacked up, even if it is for April Fools day.
I literally got mine today from my dad. Hardshell case and everything. Only thing I don't like about it is the tuning pegs on the 6 string get in the way when I'm playing low on the bass neck. But how fun of a guitar huh?!
Good evening HK ! hivoltage1999 here. Happy April Fools day. Hope you are well. Been away for a while. Broke another phone (again). Lost my handle & thumbnail (again). Just never got around to trying figuring out how to get them back. Been working crazy hours.
This red is gorgeous. I have the Gibson too but with white with gold trim. I used it while playing the big hotels in the Catskills. I loved it, I used to try and let the glare from the spotlights zap the guests. They laughed and got into it, my band boss grumbled lol. It’s very hefty and awkward to play. It sounded excellent and our shows were only an hour or so so it wasn’t all that bad. I never used it for a full 4hr gig. I’m still playing but now using a Gibson LP tribute bass DC instead of lead. I’d rather be in a pocket than out front. I’ve done my time lol
I can't believe that YOU would do this. YOU, man who fully understands and appreciates instruments for what they are. YOU, a lover of guitars. How could you?😲🥺😦😧😥
True, I don't understand what is funny about destroying a perfectly good instrument, just because teh name si fake and some parts are noch toroginal USA. Somebody out there, not being able to aford a real one, would have loved to have it and play it wholeheartedly.
So.. Try a Nashville Tuning!!!. That's where you remove all the low end strings on the 12 string. Then with the help of a capo you can get some really nice MANDO style sounds from your guitar. I used to use a Nashville Tuned guitar for over dubbing when recording folk style tunes.
How did the replica feel? Action tone,I've been interested in building some me replicas for my wall , kinda like as a hobby, are they complete crap or playable?
I've enjoyed the Trogly's guitar show very much indeed, so this is in no way a criticism when I say I could've wept to see that perfectly viable instrument being crudely sawn apart. Chibson or no, I would have given that a good home , rather than see it wrecked in the name of a very entertaining and funny joke. Think that's what we call "a back- handed compliment" . Keep the show coming, and best regards.
Danelectro made a bunch of these in many variations over the years (those might be easier to chop in half😂) I know Nels Cline (from Wilco) found a custom built 12/baritone one in a pawn shop once.

I prayed from the beginning of this video, that you didn’t ruined a gibson doubleneck and i‘m glad to see, that this was just a april fool 😅 but even with the case, that it ist a chibson it hurts a lot to see a guitar chopped in half 😢

I would just glue it back together.
The most shocking part of this video was the "Stairway Of Heaven" reference...also, cutting guitars in half might put you on the "Highway For Hell".
He's Runnin' by the Devil he is!
@@charlesrense5199 a real walk to the wild side.
Free the Bird!
Should be a good guitar to play "A Song Remains to Same" on.
Not everybody is a Lead Zepplin fan
Some 6 year old Chinese kid worked really hard building that guitar and you go chop it all up
One word: Magnets. How fun would a splitable double neck be
I like that idea a lot
I think Mike Rutherford of Genesis has a set of different bodies (bass,six string, twelve string) that can be configured however he wants.
Science, bitch!
@@myoptik3x103 From memory that was a Shergold "modular" guitar . . 6, 12, and bass necks
Crimson Guitars made one a few years back, they posted a couple videos on their RUclips channel.
Hahaha, Trogly shot his joke in a foot with how well he teaches us to recognise Chibsons 😂
I thought it suddenly looked cheaper hahaha
it was an epiphone: the case was there at the end of the dream
Holy crap thank you... I was glancing at it with the sound off and was quietly freaking out 😂
@@michaelmenkes8085 not an Epiphone just the case. It is a fake Chibson.
OMG I thought it was an April fools joke when I saw the thumbnail. I thought it was photoshopped or something, the seeing him saw it in half for real with a handsaw to boot! Of course I came to the comments before finishing to make sure it was still a joke😅 ok back to the vid
Cutting it with a hand saw makes this a high effort april fools joke!
Spoiler alert smh
Troggz should had added this little splatter segment of the video where he sawed his fingers off with a bunch of fake blood.
I wasn't even on the April fools day but the sawing made me think he should have beaver cut it😂
The legendary "stairway of heaven." Such a great tune.
Amazing how much lighter they were after the separation....that sawdust must have weighed a lot !!! 😂
I would almost say “Blasphemy “! However it’s yer guitars now. Did you ever see Junior Brown’s “Git-Steel”? It’s a Fender Telecaster & Lap Steel meshed together…
@@gdavew63 the git steel is awesome 👍. I remember seeing junior on CMT back in the day. I loved his killer solo on Highway patrol! He's great player!
How could you.
@@michaelknight4041 I’ve seen Junior in concert a few times, once in the Sarett Student Center at Vanderbilt from the 6th row. Amazing how he plays that and sings too…
The distorted 12 string actually sounded great. Happy April 1st, Trogly!
I mean, it’s exactly what an Octavia pedal might do, but much better note tracking.😂
I had a friend who played a 12 string in a two piece hardcore punk band. They might be on RUclips, Ribcages . One song I remember was “ain’t a woman alive”
Matt Pike for the bands High on Fire and Sleep used to use a 9string guitar (First Act) where the 3 high strings are dubbeled.
Pretty cool
he just need to learn to play good.....50 000$ guitar and play like he starte 3 month ago
Only Trogly would have $100,000 of guitars at his house and a $5 Harbor Freight saw instead of a Sawzall
You think trogly only has $100,000 worth of guitars at his house. Lol
@@thecreator8789yeah that’s most likely missing a zero
WYRON content pool was drying up, drastic steps had to be taken.
Your right
Who knew cutting a guitar in half could make 21lbs 3oz disappear
I liked Rick Nielsen's guitar from Cheap Trick.
PS. I don't think I would of cut the guitar in to two guitars even if it is a Chibson.
The 5 necker!
@@steveparish9210 That's the one. Have a good day.
Stairway Of heaven 😂😂😂

You said "Stairway OF Heaven" LOL If the metric hardware and Gibsun logos didn't give it away, the dime sized pots def. did. You almost got me.
I noticed that too! 😁 when he got the song title wrong that is
Me too. I really hope he just misspoke.
I love stairway for heaven.
1:12 "Stairway of Heaven" 😂
I know he said that to farm comments
Mike Ruthford from Genesis had a few detachable Doubleneck Bass, 6 string and 12 string halfes made from shergold guitars and basses. They were put together by using some metal bars in the back and he could combine whatever he wanted or needed. If you look closely at pictures of those doublenecks you can see where they were put together.
You know, you could put them back together with a piano hinge and then you could fit them into a smaller case folded.
Once again, proof that body style has zero effect on tone! Trogly's doing the hard work so we don't have to!
“Stairway Of Heaven “ 😂
The fact that you did this to the Chibson now gives it value! Happy AFD!
Instantly doubled it's value!
AFD is unfortunately the extreme right wing party in Germany lol
You should put some case latches on them so you can lock them back together or split em up. Convertible double neck
That'd be actually useful
I almost had a heart attack when you started sawing it in half until I saw the wires lol!! You got me Austin!!!🎉
What about giving it away instead of splitting it in two and making it completely useless?
[Removes toothpick] "Boy, what is wrong with you?" [reinserts toothpick, stares in disbelief]
“Pete Townshend destroyed his! I can saw mine if I wanna!”
I’ll just add that a 4” wide strap makes these type of instruments MUCH more pleasant to carry.
Tried it on a real one, and a 4” Levy’s still doesn’t help much
People showing up here to hate on Chinese Gibson copies who then buy a room full of Epiphones…
That six string side gives me Bo Diddley Gretsch vibes.
That must have been a CHIBSON as this is April 1st and Trogly would never destroy a real Gibson Double-neck in this way.
Reminiscent of the episode over on the Watch Repair Channel where Mark was looking at the current state of "how good are fake Rolexes these days?" and at the end of his eval cut the phony Rolex in half with an angle grinder. It was beautiful. :D
Not a bad job...all you need is a spare cherry chibson sg body & you can chop it, get a jointer & put the upper/lower wings back on.
Love those double slug custom buckers and those sweet custom shop alpha mini pots. Gibson has really stepped up their game. Plus 2006 Gibson’s are the best- they always have an Asian feel to em

Did you really say "stairway OF heaven"?😂
He did! Ouch!
He did! Ouch 😂😂😂
The serial numbers gave it away, tell tale chi son.Not that I thought you’d do it, but I had to find the defining moment. Good one Trogley.
I liked the Epiphone doublenecks
Oliver Ackermann from A Place To Bury Strangers will love this guitar...
He said “perfectly centered” 😂
Gibson double neck.
My dream guitar.
This video hurt my very soul.😢
OMG! I've always dreamed of owning a Gibson double neck, watching you cut that beauty in half was just painful!😢
Lucky it wasn’t a real Gibson
April fools
Too bad this one was a "Gibsun"
Got it! That seemed totally out of character... Makes more sense now!
Being that this is now September
I realize I am late for the April 1 party.
I also realized that my subscription to this channel was canceled.
thanks YT🖕
That being said,
I like the new tone of both halves of the double neck.
It seems to have a much brighter tone than the complete un-cut version.
If this wasn't April 1st, you'd be on a wanted list!
Peter Williams I thought exactly the same thing!
You should make a quick joint option so you can click them together. Maybe on a hinge too so they can be back to back and rotated
For a Chibsun their sound is gnarly! Loved the tones!
I can't believe he did this
That's an impressively straight cut for a hand saw.
I remember another guitarist on RUclips talking about how badly he’d always wanted one of these, but could never find one. It would be pretty funny seeing his reaction to this.
Nice one Trogly, a perfect video for April Fools Day!!!!
You've triggered a multitude with this!!! 😂😂😂
The headstock looks off. That gave it away for me lol.
April Fool joke , right ? I knew it from the beginning. He loves Gibson too much to murder a real one like this.
I had a feeling it was not a real Gibson when you said they stamped both head stocks with the serial number 😅😂
Yeah, you did it. 👌
Edit: I'm feeling bad about the guitar anyway....
If it was a real Gibson, the necks would have broken from the force of the saw cuts.
I recently bought one of the Firefly bass/six string combos, and while it it essentially a Chibson, it sure is fun. Mine is 13 lbs, so not too outrageously heavy. I’m kinda sorry to see one get hacked up, even if it is for April Fools day.

This is so much fun. Good job as always Austin.
I love it. Reminds me of Pete Shelly’s guitar in the Buzzcocks
Even if this is an April's fool....It feels more like Halloween. I'm seriously disturbed 😱
Me too!!! Just becaus you can, doesn't mean you should :(
At 1:14 this dude calls stairway to heaven "stairway of heaven"
Despite being a "Chibson", i still found it HEARTWRENCHING when you sawed that thing in half
The most horrifying thing about this video is that you don't own a Sawzall.
