The KING BLOSSOM RGM (Riffguy Signature Model)

[gilcrgang5]

as a fellow guitar player, you make me want to kill myself..... o_o

[Kyori960]

0:47 That little smile when the feedback comes in is awesome :D Congratulations on your axe, looks and sounds killer!

[crusTodd]

Is this a design based on an old Aria guitar? I saw one on eBay recently that look nearly IDENTICAL to this shape.

[bernhardtsen74]

How is the string action since it has scalloped frets?

The pickups sounds dang full and vibrant!

[riffguy]

@bernhardtsen74 The action is fine. The scalloping is a slightly deeper than my other guitars, but it feels great.

[shredmaster100]

recognition at last very pleased that you got your own signature guitar its been a long time coming but you are finally getting the recognition you deserve

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

have another donut and grow fat over christmas, maybe you good give a redition of "Silent Night" to enthrall the neighbourhood

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

like Nietzsche said "never confuse the good with the popular"

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

sipping red wine (claret?) on one of your YT vids lol while kids around the world starve to death, is that a good image for a muso to project? Well, it surely suits the uptight young computer nonces that watch your stuff and go "whew daddy thats like soooooooooooo cool" lol thats their level of intellect. Brain-dead spoilt and rich north american nerds who live in Leafy Lane

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

yea you have mountains of marshalls etc etc and guitars, big deal. What you lack is humility and actual respect for the instrument. Your arrogant & pretentious displays attract mindless trolls who worship you like some weird cult. This in turn must satisfy your shallow and superficial ego- immensely. You are welcome to your YT ego -tripping. Integrity-wize, the gauge reads "zero"

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

@SliffShy-Sir you are becoming a predictable bore, you are churning out the same old scabby riffs, you niegh-bores must have had a guts full, shred faster yes, omg flawless tedium

[calprior]

Nice man. Love your playing dude. Going to subscribe to you. Pure awesome Rock n Roll :) x

[RedBev59]

ohhhhhhhh is that NICE. Love the color. Sounds real good. Congrat's!! Have fun!

[jacktheguitarman]

please tell me what you do for a living!!! hahaha

[GimmeSomeOno]

HOLY MOLY

[Subaro0o]

2 words... FUCK YEAH

[sixstringbluesify]

Any chance that you will post a video showing us those fast runs and how to do them? I am self taught, and I need to know how to do that stuff sooo badly haha.

[CalebH50]

did you ever think that these youtube vids would get you a custom guitar?

[riffguy]

@CalebH50 I really never knew what to expect from my vids. After 6 months of posting them, I was given 3 free guitars from the owner of Waterstone Guitars too! Having the opportunity to have a high end guitar hand-built to my exact design specs was like winning a lottery.

[CalebH50]

@riffguy That is so cool man i love the bluesy stuff you do i like the fast stuff to its just i get so pissed at you cuz your so damn good ha

[stratdude83]

what pickups?

[stratdude83]

@stratdude83 nvm reading the description helps!

[OklatheJammin]

This guitar is fuckin' sexy!!

[nickbaldeagle01]

Killer guitar, now all you need is to tour with this baby. See you in Manchester asap.

[WhiteLightnin3]

Dear lord that sounds amazing.

[billybumbler69]

Freekn' awesome Bro!!!

[follonic100]

no he llegao a correrme

[plexilespaul]

looks and sounds amazing!

[Usul75]

wow it looks AMAZING !

also sounds very good

i wish i had one to ^^ or that my SG would look like that

i love this blue color and the wood on the backside

Do you know the name of the color?

[riffguy]

@Usul75 It's called..........blue!

[Usul75]

@riffguy ^.^

[littlewing62]

some say that the wood made with that guitar, was actualy trees growing in hell..

[Deanosius]

Loved the smirk on your face just as the feedback kicked in, Priceless!!

[NickMass35]

That's sweet dude. Is it a strat scale or les paul scale.

[riffguy]

@NickMass35 The scale is like a Gibson.

[rockerdude29]

@riffguy what is the radius? 12" Im guessing?

[DessertsRUsLtd]

That's a brutally handsome guitar and with great tone! You know you've made it when you've either got a bit part on The Simpsons or have a signature guitar. I have neither. Still, I'm only 45 - plenty of time.......

[PRIXIES]

i like very much the sound!! to me it sounds like a fatter sg[goes to les paul]

[Smokeater68]

It's a beautiful instrument Paul and I couldn't wait to hear you play it! Well done!

What do you think of the scalloped neck?

Looking forward to the next version of this fine guitar!

[riffguy]

@Smokeater68 Jeff did a really nice job with the scalloping.....he did it differently than I do and it feels great. I'd love to see this guitar in a sunburst finish.....

[ThePaulgregg]

Wow that thing is fat. It's a SG-Strat!! I want one.

[crusTodd]

I like the toggle switch in that spot. Akira Takasaki puts it there on his Killer sig. guitars and it make good sense. Better than below and behind the bridge.

[ruffles272]

holy shit thats ugly

[squidwardo1]

@ruffles272 First of all, I personally think it looks beautiful. Second, a guitar should not defined by how it looks, but rather how it sounds, which in this case is fucking amazing.

[ruffles272]

tl;dr

[squidwardo1]

@ruffles272 Way to be a newfag. My comment was only two sentences you cock-head.

[marcusmarkmus]

btw, what speakers are you using?

[riffguy]

@marcusmarkmus Old 25 watt Celestions.

[marcusmarkmus]

Looks and sounds amazing

[mgshred]

What scales do you u use when you play those licks through the first minute?

[riffguy]

@mgshred I was using the blues scale & minor scale......more or less.

[5150RDH]

Definately a beautiful looking & sounding guitar***** (throwin' this vid on one of my playlists), they did an awesome job for you. If I had the extra funds, I'd totally buy one. Rock on bro!

[futebalmakedonia]

riffguy can you do a cover of lazy!!!!

[RowenCx4]

that thing is supreme badass Riffguy, you should really post some more vids of that one, its like a custom SG with a Van Halen vide!

[MEGATROID114]

hey riffguy, what kind of wood did you choose for the body and neck?? sounds amazing.. another thing.. is the placement of the toggle switch your idea, or is it king blossom's standard location??

[riffguy]

@MEGATROID114 The top is Flame Maple and the back & neck is African Mahogany. The placement of the switch was my idea because I wanted it in a location where I could switch pickups while strumming a chord.

[bazworld]

Damn



[Hustaakkeli]

:OOO LET ME TRY IT!! :))))

[Casteanguitar]

Nice guitar!!!

Fretboard like Malmsteen!!!

[wickedmojo]

very nice!!

[ascp67]

That is one sweet guitar Paul. How have you set up your pickups, are they tapped, out of phase etc cause the variety of tones is awesome

[riffguy]

@ascp67 The pickups are wired in normal configuration except they each have a variable coil splitter control which allows me to get any tone I want between a humbucker and a single coil.

[Blader999]

How expensive is it? :)

[rangerrig]

WOW *****

[desastermaster2010]

my english is not good enough,but in german I would say:alter,das ist absolut hammergeil!

[CRANKYONE100]

so it's a lollie popped SG?

[arcainjust]

@CRANKYONE100 i highly suggest you open your ears JUST a little bit :) there is a LOT you can listen to in this instrument man.

[666GibsonSG666]

Awesome axe Paul!!!

[metlguitar02]

Awesome guitar RG!

[NeriusLT]

omg thats so awesome!

[MiLoMac06]

Grats RG! Feel free to make a video where you expand on what you put in the description of the video, verbally of course :) I'm sure we would all like to hear you talk about your new axe.

[Leadmetal300]

why dount you speak???

[riffguy]

@Leadmetal300 I'd rather play! Actually, the only mic that's on is the one by my amp, so you wouldn't hear me well if I was talking anyway.

[Leadmetal300]

@riffguy oh, cool then:) btw, awesome guitar man! rock on \m/

[Fiarzen]

0.0

I am in awe

[Notification93]

how much is one riffguy ?

im luke from long time ago ( sent you inbox) =D

[riffguy]

@Notification93 You'll have to contact King Blossom Guitars for a price.

[yngwiefangirl08]

Beautiful....

[MyxHarnett]

What an incredible guitar, you really deserve it!! If I can ask how do you generally set your EQ?

[riffguy]

@MyxHarnett I usually set everything on the EQ on 10.

[MyxHarnett]

@riffguy Not to be an idiot, but do you mean 10 o clock or just full on? Cause if you mean full on than you're a badass.

[riffguy]

@MyxHarnett Full on.

[MyxHarnett]

@riffguy Like I said: Badass.

[skateboardjaw]

I want one! About how much would one be like this?

[ForTheLackOfOne]

I absolutely LOVE the finish especially when you turned it around!! SICK!! Sounds freaking killer too :D

[Glockenator]

God damnit. In my last comment I meant to say that the guitar rarely comes out without being broken

[Glockenator]

Maybe one of these will stand up to my whammy abuse. I don't do it often, but when I do it's on my Strat, and the guitar really comes out without being broke in one way or another

[evhfrankie]

DAMN !

[thefr00bstv]

you know...you look like a cross of kyle gass and antonio banderas

[purgatory13z]

That looks and sounds like an absolutely amazing guitar.... love the finish and woods. Now, would a 24 fret version be feasible(with a coiltap)?

[MacManLtd]

Is this a one of a kind? or do they sell them? I looked on their site and can't tell.

[riffguy]

@MacManLtd They're built per order.

[SilverSkyline92]

what a tone, sounds real awesome

[MacManLtd]

Pretty sweet looking guitar!

[monsterofrock01]

Whoah! That's nice!

[Muso9419]

I love it. Awesomesauce.
