I appreciate this guy’s Tetris skills, but that looks like several accidents waiting to happen.

Physics! 🤓 Though, stand rash would concern me. I use leather straps if a guitar is not going to be moved for any extended periods, and avoid any kind of rubber or plastic touching the Finish if possible.

I noticed a few Les Pauls with angled bridge pickups.. Definitely experimenting with setups.. as for hanging upside down ..nah not for me.. But then again I’m not a wall hanger either..cases and multi standup stands are my go to..

That's pretty cool, when you have a huge collection displaying them & "enough room" is always the challenge!

and all those guitars are going to be coated in dust, frets will be in desperate need of polish and strings probably all need changed store your guitars in cases kids, it'll make em last a lot longer

0:03 I'm gonna have nightmares about this.

The 2013 SG Deluxe (4 colors) also has the toggle switch that rotates to blend in/out the middle pick up. I love my Orange Boy.

I have the green SG with the Bigsby and the three pickups are 57's. It's fun and I bought it new for $2,400 dollars.

I have to agree with everyone here, I could not display the Reserve upside down lol. 10:13 this standard silverburst was the 1st one I ever saw, it was crammed in a display rack at the House of Guitars with other LP standards in the early/mid 90s. I wanted it so bad, and there was no way my father would let me trade in my black LP studio for it. I never saw one again until I went hunting online in the early 2000s for "black and silver Les Paul", only then discovering it's true name and that Adam Jones played one.

Quite the collection that it would appear get played and through the Marshall stacks no less. As for hanging that many on the wall…. I would have to pass. As others have said, if you live on the North American west coast, wall hanging one guitar would be a hard no in my opinion. Unless I’m playing it, my guitars are in the case. One tremor of any size could really ruin my day if the guitar(s)falls off the wall, or the stand or worse, something falls on it. At least if they are in the cases they have some protection. The quilty LP was sure sweet looking. Thank you as always Trogly

I wonder if that upside down method would work with a Les Paul cutaway horn.? I can't see any problem with it. With the neck stabilised with the lower bar thing, the hanger is just holding the same weight downwards as it normally would.

I live in earthquake country (California Central Coast) so hanging guitars on the wall doesn't seem like such a good idea anyway. As for upside down? That's a big fat nope! I keep 'em in the cases when I'm not playing them!

Knew SGs were headstock heavy but this is a new extreme

I would never do it, besides he's got to have a ladder and put them up and down and if he's in earthquake territory what would happen.

Oh hell no! Just the photos made me nervous. If I was in that room the urge to take those guitars down would be overwhelming.

Salutations Austin! I would not hang my SG’s upside down like that, I would worry about the unusual stand rash as much as I would worry about them falling down neck first as well, definitely not for any of my instruments. It was quite an extensive collection, however. Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

My only guitar not always in it's hard shell case is a washburn rover travel guitar I keep out on a stand,securely strapped in,for a quick grab. No way I would expose them like that!

@5:57 I've always wanted an Emerald Burst SG. Not all of them have the "fade" finish (it depends on the year) but all the ones I've seen had the split diamond inlays and a Les Paul Custom headstock. Not sure what that is up there, but I love the finish!

I have the 1988 Gibson Silverburst Les Paul Showcase Edition. The original EMG pickups and wiring were gone so I put Seymour Duncan Antiquities in it. Plays awesome. They only made 200 of them. Great guitar.

Upside down?!!! All the MoJo will run out! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🎸 🎸 🎸

I noticed the ES1275 has individual pickup selectors for each neck, along with the neck selector. Normally, these only have one pickup selector on the lower horn, and the neck selector up between the bridges and tailpieces. The second pickup selector is stock on the Epiphone versions of these. But those certainly look to be Gibson headstocks.

I love how that silverburst about seems to have all the same specs as the Adam Jones other than the pickups, with the ebony board and no burst on the back

I would not, because I doubt this would work for a lot of guitars. SG have short horns and pretty beefy in comparison to say an Ibanez RG where the horn is very thin. It might break off and down goes your guitar. Crashing into other guitars on the way down denting or possibly breaking them. But to each their own. In 38 years I have owned a lot of guitars, but the last 20 years I have only owned 5 and 1 Bass. It's really all I need to play just about everything I want to.

Since I requested a moratorium on mentioning the words "Silver Burst" or "Adam Jones", it has been mentioned every day (since Sunday I believe)..

Only two things in this world that I care to see displayed correctly. The American flag and my guitars!

I’m not a physicist but I think the issue when you put the upside down SG on two stands, that switches the weight from being a counter balance left and right, to forward and back, causing it to lean forward. Honestly, the best way to hang a large collection is to leave enough space between necks so the body from the next row up would be offset and fit in between the row under it, all the way up. (May not work out if you have multiple body sizes, or a double neck.)

Lacquer durability has entered the chat.

5:04 I'm fairly sure it *does* have the binding on the back, it's quite clear that there's a just as pure white line on the back as on the front.

I've never taken a picture of my whole collection of guitars but I have taken individual pictures of most of them. I'd say it's rather eclectic. For example I have a 1969 Yamaha FJ230 12 string acoustic, a a rogue super strat style guitar with shark fin inlays and a Floyd Rose. An Ibanez Iron Label exotic and a R series . Those two SGs I got from you. A DBS Imperial, a Les Paul traditional pro III. A Squire Bullet FS stratocaster a Contemporary, a FS Bullet Mustang. An Epiphone J200BE. An Ovation/Applause A/E acoustic and a Silvertonebass all in all 19 guitars not including 3 additional projects that I've only mocked up one. Oh I almost forgot the one I've been enjoying that I finally got which is a Casino Natural and a Fender NA acoustic.

I only keep out which ever guitar I'm playing. I'd rather not have them out collecting dust.

Great collection, and he did make use of space, but no chance I would support them like that! If a manufactured mount was not available, I would fabricate my own. Safety first with these beauties and cash 💰💰💰. IMHO.

You say the SG’s…. But if 1 gives, it’s gonna take a LP or two with it!! I really hope that wall is reinforced!!😳

As an engineer, I am completely comfortable hanging my guitars in that manner...I definitely do not however, want "stand rash" on the horns of my guitars!

Would love an A-B comparison of SG Deluxe vs SG Standard of similar year with same model pickups. Does the Maple top make the SG Tone different versus the Standards Solid Mahogany body.

I am interested to know what advantage ROASTED MAPLE brings to a guitar neck. Is ROASTED WOOD any good?

8:24 what’s with the wonky bridge pickup?

That puts less pressure on the neck so its safer i reckon especially for gibsons.

I love the split diamond SG

I really want that GOTW SG! As far as tempting fate with that craziness vs. my expensive guitars? Hell no!

I was never sold on the wall hanging especially when that's the area where the headstock usually cracks or breaks

There was a used SG Deluxe at my local GC.

Dude has cool collection. I always love seeing dudes like this guy’s collections, I appreciate seeing what other people are into. That’s what’s great about loving/collecting guitars, we all have our own taste, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Wallmart

Displaying expensive guitars upside down messed with my OCD so much. Just NO! 😂

I left a bass stored upside down in the closet because it was a large rectangular semi-soft case and one of the zippers was broken. It messed up the neck.

Stan Rash on the horns! Bad idea

Austin have you ever come across any guitar with a YInMn Blue finish?

Hello-Hell-No I would no never never not hang my guitars upside down like that thar !.....I won't even hang them right side up, I use floor stands....but heez got some beauty full axes for sure...

I had to fwd this AI script for a Les Paul Recording: Sure, I can add some transitions to make the script flow better. Here is the revised script with some transitions in bold: Hi everyone, welcome to my channel where I share my passion for guitars and music. In today's video, I'm going to show you one of the most unique and versatile guitars ever made: the Les Paul Recording guitar. This guitar was designed by the legendary Les Paul himself and features some innovative features that allow you to create a wide range of sounds and tones. Whether you're into rock, blues, jazz or funk, this guitar can do it all. Before we get into the details of this guitar, let me give you some background information on how it came to be. Les Paul was not only a great guitarist and songwriter, but also a pioneer of recording technology and sound engineering. He invented many techniques such as multitrack recording, overdubbing and echo effects that revolutionized the music industry. He also designed his own guitars with Gibson in the 1950s that became iconic models such as the Les Paul Standard and Custom. However, Les Paul was always looking for new ways to improve his sound and experiment with different tones. **That's why** he wanted a guitar that could produce both high-impedance and low-impedance signals, depending on what he needed for his recordings. High-impedance pickups are the ones that most electric guitars use today. They have a strong output signal that can drive an amplifier or an effects unit without losing much volume or treble. Low-impedance pickups have a weaker output signal that requires a matching input impedance on the amplifier or effects unit to avoid signal loss and treble roll-off. However, they have a cleaner and more balanced tone than high-impedance pickups. Les Paul also wanted a guitar that could offer various sound-shaping options such as phase switching, tone filtering and decoupling. **To achieve this,** he worked with Gibson engineers to develop his own low-impedance pickups and circuitry that could achieve his goals. The result was the Les Paul Recording guitar series that debuted in 1971. The Les Paul Recording guitar has a mahogany body with a carved maple top and a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard. It has two low-impedance humbucking pickups with plastic covers that look like P90s but sound very different. It has four knobs: one for volume, one for tone (with three preset positions), one for decoupling (which allows you to isolate each pickup from the other) and one for phase switching (which reverses the polarity of one pickup to create out-of-phase sounds). It also has two switches: one for hi/lo impedance (which activates an internal transformer that converts the low-impedance signal to a high-impedance signal) and one for bypassing (which bypasses all the controls except for volume). The Les Paul Recording guitar is not only great for recording in the studio but also for playing live on stage. **You can see** how versatile it is by plugging it into any amplifier or effects unit using either low or high impedance settings depending on what you prefer. You can also create some funky and explosive riffs using the phase switching and decoupling features. In this video, I'm going to demonstrate how this guitar sounds using different settings and playing styles. I'm going to use my Fender Deluxe Reverb amp with some pedals such as distortion, chorus, delay and reverb. I'm going to play some classic songs by artists who used this guitar such as Peter Frampton , Steve Miller , Ace Frehley , Bob Marley , George Benson , Al Di Meola , Frank Zappa , Jeff Beck , Joe Walsh , Keith Richards , Neil Young , Pete Townshend , Tom Scholz and more. **So without further ado,** sit back, relax and enjoy this amazing guitar: the Les Paul Recording guitar.

That gives me a panic attack....now I need some weed

NEVER!!!

The green SG is an Elegant. 2017 most likely. That's when they "widowed" the headstock.

That is a great collection, but don’t think there’s any kazoo models up on the wall as for how he’s (or she) taking a quite a chance with about 80grands worth of Nashville Gibsons🎸🤘✌️

won't mar the finish?

You’re freaking me out with this video. I JUST got a Firefly SG style double neck and I’m struggling to figure how to keep it on a rack. I settled on a floor stand, but now you come along with this?!? What are the odds…

I had an 88 red metal flake showcase custom with a chainsaw case those had EMG 85s

I appreciate the display but I live in California. That would NEVER work out here haha 😂

No on the hanging upside-down 🤯 the purple R9 is waaayyyy nicer never would have made that trade but that's just me 🤘👍

Stand rash on the horn would be brutal to see.

I so love the flower pot inlay.

The first SG I didn't dislike that green one with the gold hardware....

Yeah that was a vintage 61 SG. I owned one and would know it anywhere.

If you look at the double-neck SG on the wall, the guy does it like you suggest Trogly and uses a holder on each horn and no hook on the neck and it seems to work...at least as best I can see from the photo!?

5:15 is that a flipstick perhaps? That weird whammy bar that Phil X used to rep back in the 80s. It kinda doesn’t look like the right shape, but that’s the only reason I can think for a whammy bar to be that far away from the body

No I would not but good idea for using all the space.

All the tone is gonna fall outta those SG's.

I guess that's a load bearing wall :{ Looks like the dry wall has been modified, maybe studs fortified too. Could be around 300 lbs. Nice collection. More episodes like this would be great. 🤔

Well nice guitars and no id not hang them inverted. Biggest question for me what's original what's mod shop or privately repainted. To be honest the mod shop from gibson is screwing up guitar collections. Repaints are taboo les pauls I don't care who does them

It looks like it’s one earthquake away from disaster!

And this lawyer has never played any of those guitars.

rather have stand rash than horn rash.

If a guitar is not being played, best to keep it in its case.

Yeah, but then you're buying twice as many hooks, and they start to add up when you think about how many guitars you want to put on your wall. Ya know

That looks like a sheet rock collapse is imminent

I dig the sg deluxe

Dear god that green sg with the gold hardware is heaven

The most expensive domino set I’ve ever seen

wow that quilt top R9. with that that purple burst was unrreal

Damn one little bump and well sorry......not for me but to each their own

I was at Gibson garage and ran into Billy gibbons!

I love Gibson guitars

nope. I wouldn't take the chance.

Fascinating.

I love SGs. Z is for late. Just got home from my Mason Lodge.

If you are that pressed for space just offset the bodies and necks, same basic thing with less risk. If I had a collection like this they would mostly be kept in the cases.

Super super cool display man me personally I’ve now got new guitar display envy n an outrageous bout ay bad GAS

I use wall hangers

no, it promotes anxiety and disharmony - not what I want in displaying guitars. it feels like the upside down SG's are moments away from decapitation.

normal humans have a few guitars at most

Trogly 10 years from now...if you ever buy an SG with stand rash on its horn this is why you're seeing that.

Well if it tips up, the body of the guitar should rest against the wall and the wall itself, hypothetically, should keep it sturdy

reverse neck dive :D

Nah , I'd freaking drop one for sure !

Word of warning- those B25-12s like to warp around the bridge iirc- prime candidates for a Bridge Doctor is all. At least that’s if I remember my twoodfrd right.

10:54 wow Just wow

Maybe some velcro on the back side 🎸

At the end of the day play your guitars, stop displaying them. What the heck is the point of staring at a guitar on a wall? When you play them they wear in and gain character and obtain a feel. I can understand hanging old vintage worn in sweetheart gear that still gets played and put back on the wall for a while. But to hang a brand new guitar on the wall to stare at it to say wow that looks like it might play good is loony. Even all the big vintage collectors love playing the pieces they own because they have a story that you’re buying with the guitar. Randy Rhoads said you need to put you’re own scratches and blemishes in that guitar knowing it’s because you played it that hard and it’s all your life’s talent and endless hours of practice wear marks. He’s absolutely correct. That’s why they’ve been making duplicates down to every scratch now. Buy guitars and play guitars. Staring at them is pointless.

Count the number of 3 Pickup Gibson Les Pauls and SGs. Oh Boy, someone has a Black Beauty Guitar Fetish. It would have been better/safer to mount them horizontally, like rifles in both directions.

Hope this is not located in an earthquake prone area!

He’s going for maximum stand rash…
