In this video Tom and I shootout his 60s Gibson SG Special and my 60 Gibson Les Paul Special. The shootout starts about halfway through the video.. he tweaked my 60 Les Paul special in the beginning.

Just watching Larry sort out that G string issue was a lesson in itself. Thanks for sharing.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks for watching!!

[@Sammywhat]

Uncle Larry is single handedly raising the price of every vintage Gibson from one side of the planet to the other! Great share, Justin!!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

The right vintage Gibson/Fender is the best.. nothing like them. Thanks for watching

[@revoltlikeme]

I love how Tom tries some graphite then pulls a .017 nut file out of nowhere to complete the job

[@standMoses]

That's why he's there... And I'm here. 😁

For me, one of the best things about this video is the look of joy on your face as you are listening to Uncle Larry play. The smiles while you're nodding your head to the music warmed my heart and conjured up thoughts of how great it must be to spend some time in that kitchen and get a first hand taste of what Uncle Larry's cooking up!!! Best of luck to you Justin!!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much that means so much to me!!

[@AMaj7Sharp5]

The focus and seriousness while adjusting the tuning is time stamped into my brain now. Couldn't ask for a better Friday night. Awesomeness is still alive and well in the USA. Thanks!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thank you so much!!

[@benallmark9671]

Justin your smiles and nodding of approval says it all. You're lucky to have a friend in Tom. Thanks for sharing this.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much!!

[@joeyspinks]

Thanks for posting this, Justin. Is there anybody doing more for the guitar community than Uncle Larry? I think not. I always learn something from this guy. Always.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

thanks so much for watching! tom is awesome. we've been friends a long time about 10yrs now.

[@deadpatriot8047]

The way it’s unspoken but Buk is leading the lesson is super cool man. I never seen anyone as particular about an instrument

[@scottshand8559]

I enjoyed the smile you had on your face Justin, as would I if I was sitting next to Tom Bukovac tearing it up on my guitar. What a blast you must have had!

[@SeeCSeesCC]

❤thanks for having us Justin

[@ericmmiller]

Always a treat when Uncle visits your channel. 😊

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

That’s for sure! Thanks Eric great to hear from you!!

[@chrislestermusic]

This is like a Homeskoolin’ After Skool Special. 👍🏻 Oh, and first rule about Fight Club is…don’t mention the treble bleed cap. Ha!

[@darkvillin]

both sound amazing. I enjoyed the yellow les Paul just a smidge more. to me, a bit more rich and sweet. Uncle Larry is a National Treasure. thanks for sharing.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much!!

What a treat to hang with Buk!

Awesome. The LP edges to the win here, IMO. Love specials and I also have one of each. Rock on, boys.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much!!

[@caspersvapors]

Definitely liking the LP special. More clarity, the SG sounds a bit more woofy

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much!!

[@-Atmos1]

The Les Paul special sounds great , Tom is a guitar specialist .

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much! Yes he is!

[@dbvetter7485]

How a world class guitarist sets up a vintage guitar on the spot! New name to video😅

Damn... Uncle Larry is so fucking good at all things guitar.

[@chrisquinn9104]

The David St Hubbins model SG Don’t knock the Leather Hillbilly Strap lock. Those things work

SG for me, I've been playing mine a lot

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Right on, man! Good times

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

For sure! Thanks so much!

[@stevebernard221]

Great sounding amp.

[@vayabroder729]

The Townshend vibe! ❤ Looks like the Les Paul had a Maestro installed at some point. I am sure those holes could be plugged and camouflaged by Scotty over at Harpeth. Ask Uncle Larry how his Chevy Montecarlo is doing. 😉

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Yeah it did! Very cool. Thanks!!

[@buffdoc46]

I have 59 and 63 and they have some of the best pickups

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Awesome!

[@StratmanJerry]

What kind of treble bleeds are you using in your specials? Thanks for the vid!

[@anthonystrickland9870]

I think uncle Larry is everybody’s guitarist best friend 😂

[@timscarrow9151]

Uncle Larry got some great tone from those chords on "that" bridge too, But he did not have to even think about it on the SG he looked more comfortable

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much!

[@jackmundo4043]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@blastfuzznace2001]

what's the bridge of the SG?is it modded with an ABR type bridge? or is it some kind of replacement ? awesome video as always, thanks!!!

[@Rufusdoc]

Very nice... Something about P-90's... both clean and the way they take overdrive/distortion... Just stay frosty with Unc and rule the world, man! I Fookin' loves mine.

P90 pickups rule!! Especially from 60s!

I'm digging the Les Paul Special, but anything sounds great in Larry's hands! Treble Bleed Caps for all, I say!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much!! Yeah the treble bleed is nice for sure!

[@kilgoretrout321]

SG sounds like a great live, rockin guitar. Les Paul sounds like a guitar you'd write an album with

For sure!

Any pedals on or was that just the Marshall? Killer tones on both guitars

man i dont remember what pedals off the top of my head

I need to break out a #2 pencil, heck with that "nut sauce" stuff!

yeah pencil is all you need.. just have to also make sure the nut is not binding.

What amp y’all playing through? Sounds Fantastic

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

It was a reissue Marshall new jtm studio with a Bogner cab

[@tobe2056]

That wasn't his cherry special he favors tho. Didn't know he also had a white one. Great shootout. I've been weighing which to get myself. An SG Spec or LP Spec. I find SG's more comfortable to play sitting down, which I do a lot. So that plays into it. Wider body.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Both are cool!

[@hillsmith]

What was the amp setup?

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Some new Marshall with a Bogner cabinet!

[@createlovehappy]

Both sounded good in those hands but for my ears there was something better about the LP Special.

What??

Hi, I had to use Corn Starch, nobody had a pencil, small kitchen next door. Buddy opened my case, asked if i needed with my problem ??? I thought he meant....not another guitar.......took a week for him to pull me aside to talk......I never even saw real Coke in my life, we had good laugh over it.

Gibson tuning issues haha go figure. I like the white SG ! Id take either. 😊

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

It’s just got to be setup right, the nut is normally the tuning issue every time because the slots aren’t cut right.

[@mustuddd]

Does yours still have the original frets?

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

No it’s been refretted

[@martinaddison4880]

@@justinmeyersguitarist very cool, and as we learned from Mr. George Gruhn a few months back, it matters NOT if it has been refretted. A non-issue perpetuated by non-collectors. :)

Thanks! Getting one refretted as we speak so was just curious as yours seems pretty great
