[@omoon66]

One of my favorite country artists and guitar player, so under rated in both categories. One of the few modern countries artists that actually focus on musicality and occasional shredding rather than trap beats lol. And seems like such a nice guy who really knows his stuff. This is well deserved!

[@crazyag2001]

Good to see John getting the attention he deserves. Rock on!!!

[@terrycolletti6793]

"The guitar needs to learn that it's not a tree anymore"........ Genius!

[@lancehardy42]

Im a Fender guy but these look beauty. J.O. is a highly underrated guitarist and one of the best out there right now.

[@yestoES355]

That color is simply Beautiful. I love my ES-355 and Les Paul Custom.

[@philcory5043]

Great to see him overjoyed with the Stellar Job that you folks do. 😎

[@codytodd9773]

Thank you Gibson!!! He deserves this and I’m glad you give him the opportunity.

[@mikeopdenaker5573]

I am a devoted firebird guy...I have a cherry red '82. It is fabulous.

[@TribalGuitars]

It's so nice seeing such a phenomenal guitar player genuinely excited about his instrument. I can't remember the last time I saw a pro at his level, both fame and talent (the latter being most important, IMO), acting like a kid at Christmas and saying playing was FUN! Awesome! Just awesome! 🤘🎸🎵

[@loganthrift11]

Bout time John got some attention,love his playing

[@nathanielvargas3863]

I found out about John a few weeks ago so this is greatly appreciated

[@frankenstein4106]

John is a fantastic player, and he and T.J. put on a great show! He really smokes, the good stuff too!!

[@laudnivek-k9]

I have no idea who this guy is but he seems cool af

[@charleslord2941]

Great video Gibson! I would LOVE to own that Firebird, sounds and looks amazing!! 😁

[@bernardhossmoto]

What a great guy, I have to check out that band.

[@nathanielvargas3863]

The story about his first SG was hilarious. I had a similar experience with a guitar I bought off of eBay except mine arrived with a “detachable” headstock

[@joshuataft5541]

Wow that firebird... I lov aged guitars. If I could I'd buy a Murphy lab

[@MikeE-]

I like how he compared finish checking to lines that we develop ourselves as we age

[@MemoriesRR]

Good people need good leadership. Gibson has become once again a great company under its present leadership. Rock on.

[@chalyjudge7749]

Love this guy! 👍😎❤️

[@jimbokessler9635]

Well deserved John John well deserved.. love ya brother

[@prasidhdhingra4629]

Perfect 💯💯 Out of the world 🤩🤩 I got goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥

[@saltpeter7429]

I found PAWN SHOP at a second hand store a few years back, Close to killer irony, but no cigar. I like country music a little bit, tend to have to go to heavier genre's to find great guitar players. The Brothers Osborne are one of the pleasant exceptions to that observation/ expectation. They have some good Rock and Roll in that DNA. Enjoyed another Gibson tv program, thanks.

[@edgartav]

Great John Osborne, nice video,amazing artist!!

[@keithyoung4358]

Love the new song Headstone.🎸🤟🏻

[@edharmicar6227]

Dwight Yoakam once said,”There’s no money past the twelfth fret.”😄

[@ianchappell2907]

The only thing missing is Charlie Starr sat on the sofa with John Osborne trading licks

[@cancelwoke9384]

Great work Gibson. Those are some amazing guitars.

[@lyinking1998]

1:13 Runs his finger down the neck "But~ ehhhh~ get back down here okay now we're makin' money" lmfao XD

[@crazyag2001]

We need a John Osborn signature Les Paul

[@windsweptguitars]

I hope he did get that Firebird. When you find the perfect guitar…..you just don’t wanna let it go

[@carsonholtorf8233]

I agree. My favorite guitar that I have ever played was a 2015 Gibson collectors choice #24 Nicky. I kick myself for letting that one get away. Such a smooth sounding Les Paul and playing Les Paul.

[@nickp440]

Not a country fan but those dudes are killer musicians. Now i want a vintage SG

[@LPCustom3]

Great Craftsmanship and the old formula Nitro and the use of Hide Glue!

[@Heavenreck]

Go John. Finally some new country artists that are amazing getting some love from Gibson

[@robertdecker6010]

Reliced pelham blue firebird is very cool, like the guitar version of a '70 Hemi 'cuda.

[@vernonhoover1387]

Awesome bird

[@stop736]

That Firebird is gorgeous! The color and the wear on it looks perfect to, and that’s not something I’ve ever said about a relic’d Gibson. I think Fender custom shop got a lot more attention with relics because they looked pretty much how they wear naturally. And the Gibson relics didn’t always come out looking very natural. But since the Murphy Lab started up and really hot their stride, these are tough to criticize anything that’s come from Gibson. Even the production line stuff, the Murphy Lab really makes Gibson a better guitar maker in general! Unfortunately as a lefty, that Firebird in left handed is basically a unicorn. Anything Gibson or Epiphone especially, you’re gonna be waiting awhile if you’re lefty and want say an Epiphone Les Paul Jr., and by awhile, I mean I’ve waited over a year for one and still nothing. And I’m not paying $1700 for a Gibson LPJr. with one pickup. I’ll stay patient and hope for the Epiphone that costs $450 new. That’s reasonable, the Gibson price for essentially the same guitar besides the name is not worth that price of $1700. $900 max is what I’d say that LPJr is worth from Gibson. Anything more then a grand is just selling the name. And some people don’t mind paying for that name! I’m not even able to consider it as a lefty though, so name brand isn’t super important to me. Although I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard, Fender Telecaster, Stratocaster, and am SG. I feel like those are kinda like the “must have” type of guitars. But there’s other companies out there to that make great instruments with new options and tones from different pickups. One company that comes to mind is Reverend. I know some people don’t like the aesthetics of them, but they have a guitar, the Double Agent OG, that’s the first guitar not from Gibson or Fender that I am really excited about having. Those are some really cool guitars with some really different pickups then you normally see with a humbucker bridge and a P90 neck. And it has this bass contour control that really makes that P90 sing!! It really is an innovative idea from them! And I like that. It isn’t overboard or stupid gimmicks like robo-tuners or something like that or something that sounds cool in theory, but when playing it doesn’t do much if anything. That Reverend with that bass contour/blend knob is really innovative and they sound amazing! Just my 2 cents…sorry for the long message.

[@frantisca]

Yeah the bass contour on Reverends is nice, although nothing new: Schecter featured that on some of their Strats since 1985…!

[@jigglejohnosborne1198]

Hello how are you doing It's nice seeing you here

[@grantcindrich]

My first Gibson was a ‘68 SG, it was 3 figures not 4 though.

[@timothyausten3390]

Gibson, can you please just give him that Firebird?

[@sburton223]

I had a breed love retro shipped to me from Florida and the guy dropped it in a box no packing of any kind taped up the end of the box and dropped it off at FedEx....I knew my delivery guy pretty well and he was beside himself he and I just knew it would be caved in or the neck broken off..... But there wasn't a scratch on it!!!

[@theariesexperiment4642]

I heard Tom say that different checking patterns is completely random,....but,....the guitars with the red iodine based stain seems to check more excessively and sometimes when you temper the nitro for that amber tone it checks more. It's truly an not so exact science.lol

[@gitarbangsatchanel8036]

Harade kieu euy suluh na

[@drivenmad7676]

I dream of a southpaw SG

[@duckfootguitars76]

That’s great and all but where/when is the FRANK MARINO SG guys? Ask this guy, I’m sure he wants to see one too!

[@tylerwillison4962]

He rocks. Give John the guitar. 😂

[@jesusmetaldude3796]

Those cluck like a chicken 🎸🤠🐔

[@paulgawry6722]

Being retired, that's above my pay grade! LOL!!!

[@michaelw366]

One disagreement.. at 6:43. Great craftsmanship doesn’t just happen. It’s intentional. Same as crappy craftsmanship. Intentional. You either give a damn when you build something, or you don’t.

[@landguitar]

That was a big takeaway for me as well. What??? NOOOO, that's wrong. there may be "magic", but it is unlikely to be by accident!

[@ritualcities]

tommy tedesco quote about the money zone!

[@vagabondblues]

A country guy with a Firebird and a Les Paul? Whaaat?

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

Wow, I'm surprised he Gibson didn't bulldoze that guitar for an insurance payout.

[@timwhite8281]

man I want that blonde ES!!!!!

[@gianlucadecicco5921]

Imagine if Gibson spent their money on making better stuff instead of paying random artists to act surprised about their new 9k beated up guitar.

[@op_po1330]

🙇🏻‍♂️

[@soundknight]

Firebird into a dark sounding boogie... Weird. Better into a tone king or a carr

[@MikeE-]

R9😍

[@bazitube390]

Yall need to atleast oil that fretboard for the videos xd thing looks drier than sahara desert.

[@rareform6747]

Liked the position making money ....

[@Marc_Davila]

They should rename lightly aged to “case queen”😂

[@scottanderson4175]

I’m not paying $7k for a guitar I don’t care who built it 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@lawrencet83]

Evidently there are suckers that will pay more for a new weathered, beat up, worn out looking guitar, rather than to buy a brand new one and put your own wear and tear on it.

[@josefromanov562]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jakeryanshepard]

Talks about weight, rolls his shoulder thinking about the damage LPs can do! Lol

[@martinclayton7260]

Dear Mr Gibson boss, please, please, please can I have a Firebird? I'll be your best friend. M

[@larryburwell8550]

I've played Gibson les Paul's since 1976 and to me Murphy lab takes beautiful guitars trashes them and sells them for twice as much. Crime

[@furbymetal83]

Come on Gibson, let him have the bird. You know its the right to do

[@gianlucadecicco5921]

He just has to pay poor ol Gibson the modest amout of 9k for a guitar that normally costs les than 2k

[@paulgawry6722]

Bullshit! Give it me! He get's enough free shit!

[@mr.astrophysics9115]

It's fake no matter how you try to justify this it's Fake

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

And costs more than the real thing 😂

[@youpvanligten5788]

True, but sometimes it’s fun to fool yourself. They look phenomenal.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Stop it ,you guys are tempting us poor Musos with irresistable Guitars that as the Man said "What do I have to do to get one of these"? My 1sr Gibson was SG junior 196os with vibrato removed and it cost me £90. English pounds sir and to this day nothing sounds or feels like it but maybe these planks are the real thing just younger?

[@maxpeck4154]

Hey Gibson! Let us buy Maestro vibratos directly from you. I have a 2014 120th anniversary Firebird that would be perfect with a Maestro but all you can buy are vintage/used or a cheap knockoff. You can pretty much buy any part from Gibson except the maestro. Ridiculous.

[@davidharding200]

Mmm. ‘Great craftsmanship’. Not sure I agree with that. I’m yet to find a new Gibson that isn’t full of fit and finish issues. Iconic yes. Great design, yep ok. Not sure that’s craftsmanship. Sounds great no doubt. But very disappointed with the quality Gibson continues to put out.

[@walterrizotto8668]

Baloney, baloney, baloney.
