3:57 (guitars bump) -1000$ each

why he speaks with scottish accent?

0:35 EXTREME!

The Gibson bosses laughed at him and humoured him for almost 10 years thinking he was a nice guy with crazy ideas, I like that.

Those brothers are good people.

I have a 60's replica SG and a 59' LP replica and I was sure the 60's neck was skinnier in width, because my fret hand felt more cramped. Even though the description in the add said same nut width.

Did the fretboard width change in the 60's?

Such skill and speed with hand tools. I’m surprised how much material was left around the heel prior to gluing the neck to the soundboard, sides and back. Once the neck is attached it’s much harder to carve. One of the greatest makers and an inspiration to so many luthiers.

Que viejo payaso puro blablabla

This guitar sounds thin, i would not know, how to play it in a ensemble.In a old style jazzband its acoustically too weak. For playing it electrical, it lacks tone and bass. Your roundholes are better. At least usable. Why does the demo sounds so bad, almost like a folk guitar with electric flatwound on it, gage 9th.

I remember going to D'Aquisto's shop on LI. (early 80's) my guitar teacher brought me there ( Joe Carbone-RIP) It was awesome meeting him and seeing his builds at different stages. joe asked him if he would do a refret on my les paul. I remember the dirty look he gave. lol! He declined as he didn't have time for that. But knowing that he was the master now. he inherited the shop from D' Angelico. That's what I remember. It was pretty awesome. It's a shame he too died young. I wonder if he also had an apprentice? because he would then have all the right stuff!

They are definitely incredible guitars. But I think that owning one would be too stressful for me. I would be too worried about it. Every time I'd open the case, I would be afraid of damaging it...and that is no way to look at a guitar. They are meant to be played. It is weird..I could care less about the appearance of most of my guitars...but every time I put a new ding on one of my Gibsons, I get stressed out. I will probably never sell any of them...but I still worry about hurting the potential resale value of those ones. Even if I wanted to sell them...who is going to buy lefty guitars? hehe

Thanks so much for the video

I wonder what's the rolling pin was for

It’s hard to argue with him about this issue . What ever method he used to tune his tops are in fact a frequency. Whether it’s G or F I doubt it was A . Regardless the boards have to have the quality necessary to respond with volume and sustain to begin with . One way dial it in is to use a frequency analyzer to determine exactly where the note is at . With enough experience you can also use deflection to determine the final voice ( frequency) . He just didn’t want to admit it . Somewhere along the line he didn’t know it either and learned it from some other source.

Jeff adams from face dancer, asked paul reed smith to build a guitar for him, that was the golden eagle that went to howard leese.

I had one guitar in my workshop which had been treated by Benno Streu, and after his death I saw some in the shop of Viertmann in Cologne. All of them had a belly behind the bridge and the top was sunk in between the bridge and the soundhole. (OK, some of them were very old...) Because he wanted to get the resonating frequency of the top lower he made it lighter and more flexible by shaving the braces smaller. In the Ramirez I had here there was less then a mm left between the bridge and the soundhole, so it became very weak. The owner cared a lot about enough humidity and used only very light strings and low action - so it survived and sounded nice. But I think the guitar would be better off without this treatment.

Amazing looking, this is on my next batch list, thanks for the walk thru. The cracking an IPA in the morning reminded me of my aunts sisters from Germany, the one gets up and goes to the fridge opens a Bud and chugs it down, she said it was like water to her and it probably was. They really opened me up to the real side of beer.

What i dislike most about a old Burst selling for as much as they do($200K-$600K) is Gibson is charging ridiculous prices to get a Re-issue! They very well KNOW the majority of us will never get a old original but are lusting after one so they take advantage of this! The Greenie" re-issue sold for $20K and the Collector choice ones are $20 or more. The latest Murphy lab Brazilian board R9's are also $20k! A Vanilla R9 from the CS is $7K new.

I wonder how deep that box is.

thats the video I found Michael，and later he became my teacher.RIP

Muito bom

Top cedar or spruce?❤

Basically what Les set out to accomplish was to turn the guitar from an instrument that you had to apologize for it not being loud enough to one you had to apologize for it being too damn loud .

What a terrible video! One of the worst commercials for a brand ever produced, no wonder no one's ever heard of these.

Great story. Some day I'll meet this guy. My first electric guitar ever was an Iced Tea LP. Back then (1974) we just called 'em tobacco sunburst. Fucking phenomenal guitar, although I had no idea what I had. I was 15. Barely knew how to play. My first encounter with Billy Gibbons was him opening up for Jimi Hendrix. I was 10. I own a bunch of guitars. The LP remains the standard.

I really want one of these guitars

this is just a master talking about his genius. An artist.

The guitar is so big

This is very useful. Thanks

Hej Tom, hope you feel fine.🥰 We meet in my Ü30 Pub in Germany Rheinböllen and had a very nice time with all your friends.

I met Bart Whittrock at ROCKIN ROBIN GUITAR IN HOUSTON TEXAS

Thank you for this interesting interview about one of the most important instruments in the history of the classical guitar.

I'd be inclined to go with Jose, rooted in the real world. People can convince themselves of all sorts of hocus pocus instead of facing the reality that the uncertainties and variables involved preclude the sort of control they claim to have over them.

Wouldn't tune in the frequency of the sondboard to a specific note imply an imbalance of the sound favoring such note?

Well done video. Looking forward to more sausage content.

I really like the design of the tesla. Its unusual but cool. There are guitar players that can make every note count and reach your soul…and than there is Henry Kaiser….no matter what expensive guitar he plays, listening to him I want to hurt myself…

lol, "the guitar has to be efficient, unlike the violin, where people can saw away until their arm falls off..." I've never heard of the violin described that way, but it makes physical sense. It just flies in the face of the conventional wisdom of calling the violin the "perfect acoustic instrument."

Hi dean

Woody was co-founder of International Guitar Seminars -Columbia Univ. back in 1999 ? or 2000? Few people understand his relationship with fingerstyle guitar and blues. The video about his relationship with Rev. Gary Davis explains quite a bit of the story. What was left out was the fact that he was the Juliard trained musician that ran off.....as in the movie Crossroads. The movie extolled the virtues of "Robert Johnson" when in fact it most certainly appears it was "Rev. Gary Davis" and the real life "Woody Mann" (as he ran off from Julliard. Many students inquired about this and he politely refrained from answering. I lament his passing. I invite you to prove me wrong. bill keitel

Thanks for the video. I’m curious about why the blanket would go below the wood as it is changing the radius of your templates.

Can’t wait to see more sausage recipes !

Paul McGill 's creations are out of this World !

It's all about the money.

Great storytelling from Paul. Jawdropping anekdotes, and funny impressions of McCarthy.

He knows of what he speaks. 🤓👍👍👍👍👍

The Yoko Ono of guitar?
