What a beaut! Edit: I’m a tele guy through and through, but this is the first Les Paul I would cheat on Fender with

Debating....Mortgage or Tele?...Mortgage or Tele?

[@jakebaldwin9713]

just got my first vintage guitar, Issa 1974 sunburst Strat, maple neck, it’s a boat anchor but I love it

[@qigung]

That’s awesome! It shows the inconsistency of 70’s Fenders. I have a ‘74 Strat in natural blond finish. It’s about 7.5 lbs. I also have a ‘77 Strat that is almost 9 lbs. Both sound great, but I prefer the ‘74. Enjoy the vintage vibe. You now have the vintage guitar fever!

[@joemorrow8411]

Jake Baldwin congrats Jake🎸🎸🍺🍺👌🇺🇸

[@snuffygrunt2842]

It would be interesting to see the guitars in a "lineup" sometime.. with Mark providing descriptions of them.. from the earliest models through to the later years and how they have evolved over time. I always enjoyed playing the the thin neck/wide nut Juniors with the extra frets.

[@guywerry6614]

There is a video like that where Mark went through the history of the 335 (I think) Gibsons. Quite interesting.

[@sudzy314]

Snuffy Grunt this would be cool but probably hard to do because I feel like they sell guitars too quickly to get enough examples in the same place at one time

[@alexleedrums311]

Sounds great! I won a Gibson Les Paul in 2014 and have been learning how to play it recently, and I fell in love.

[@RockHardRiffs]

Freakin’ tone machine. Love it!

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it.

[@TheChadPad]

You can dig anything

[@joet_swbo101]

What a sweet sound.

[@ConnorOBrien98]

I wonder if our guy in the background bought the tele?

[@gusdupree2508]

Just a punk in the street, i always have an unmade bed ,don't you? rock is dead, long live rock

[@GuitarSafari1]

Sweet guitar. I love juniors and special Ive got a 1960 Lp special and a 59. Both are killer guitars. P90s are awesome .my 59 has big neck exellent 60 has blade but it feels good. Beautiful guitar that 1960 is. Nice choice for thumper Thu 😊

[@hotwheel6663]

Jen and her woohs!

[@812macdaddy]

I can be all tired and down and out and feel crappy, and one whooooo hooooo from Jen always brings a little smile to my face

What else is like a Jr. with a little more options? you guessed it frank stallone

[@clutchcarabelli8054]

Yeah but Little Bear will only make sweet sweet love to the latter

[@markg2861]

I was in the store while Mark played this. Sounds even better in person!

[@Terryomalleyonline]

Wow! The crown on the headstock. Everyday we learn something with M Agnesi. Fantastic

That guy in the background spent way more time staring at his phone and other guitars than playing the tele he had in his hands!

[@stkbkr1]

That Stones take was to die for. Rock on!!!

[@colebarlow345]

Guitar Of The Day for 2019 is of the a great start.

[@jeremyreed663]

This is honestly one of my favorite styles of Gibson’s. I had a 2002 model like his I stupidly traded off. I have a 1982 USA made Epiphone Spirit right now that is awesome!

[@thomasrichmond601]

Thank Mark ✌️ and Jen 🌷 someone who I don’t know found out I was wanting a custom LP, should have it next week. Either for a late Christmas gift or an early March Birthday present 🎸

[@AntmanFelix]

Gibson needs to make this for the USA line. They selling them juniors now, imagine how this would sell.

[@TheDude4077]

They put out a pretty cool one last year, you should look it up if you like this guitar, it was basically this in TV yellow with a tortoise guard. Of course they discontinued it for 2019, but it's probably possible to still find a few unsold new ones.

[@AntmanFelix]

@@TheDude4077 I know I had one but the cutaways weren't like the original LP Double Cutaways. Cool guitar but I want something closer to the originals

[@TheDude4077]

@@AntmanFelix I feel ya, that one definitely was more of a "tribute" than a repro. Fingers crossed Gibson will give us one like this that isn't a $4000 custom shop model soon!

[@dumbdickler670]

@@TheDude4077 keep 'em crossed then!

[@jameshill1502]

I just got a brand new reissue single pickup Jr and the tone is absolutely incredible! All my friends that play just fell in love with it

[@mischiefmikeyo]

great song choices this ep

[@90sPunkRockCovers]

That bridge pickup was total 🔥

He's batting a thousand so far in 2019: with the leather jacket brushed up against two beauties from the past

[@BROTHER4570]

reminds me of a red special

[@mcmdrpiffle447]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Grain of the wood I guess

[@clutchcarabelli8054]

Hey Mark 2019 FYI when you don't do a Bass on Thumping Thursday sometimes it upsets Carlos so much that he gets in the comment section and starts fighting people .. couple weeks ago I almost got my ass all CAPPED and it ain't no picnic.. do what you can for us this year brother😁😁😁

[@shook9042]

Gorgeous!

[@palukens]

You guys are the best. Thank you! Threw in sticker and picks, you guys rock. Best customer service ever. Coming to get me a guitar soon!

[@Yusufu82]

Mark, can you play some sublime sometime. Under my voodoo or pawn shop.

[@eternalme6077]

GOD I WANT THAT ROCK MACHINE!!! 🎸💚

[@marklee_702]

Sweet guitar

[@JJ-bm2jj]

Thumping Thursday is my second favorite day of the week but I will make the sacrifice for a Les Paul. 😎

[@keithlau3872]

"Last Child" = Hidden Gem in Aerosmith's catalogue! Super cool ass kicking tune!!!

Nice. Killed it on rock and roll is dead. It is a rock and roll machine.

What's up with the free guitar man.. Dang... Happy New year everyone

[@ardiris2715]

Another fine crank-the-monitors-to-the-max episode.

[@boss123400]

Mark, you keep playing like that, and you'll put your eye out......

Man, you deserve to skip a Thumpin Thursday with what you got goin on at home. Rockin guitar \m/

[@gratao25]

Now that's rock machine!

[@rebfloyd4088]

Nice job. I’m a big fan first time writing in. You’re real good. You’d love my 17 Les Pauls and others except fenders. Great job. Reb

[@vmat1000]

Sweet! Hey, no breaks!!

[@GigaGrandpaYT]

Ill take it guys

[@jamesanderson6905]

Nice p90's

[@w13rdguy]

Nice.

[@johnd.4536]

Good Demo of this great guitar!

[@larrygeetar9309]

The Les Paul Special did become the SG Special - 2 P-90's, bound neck, dot inlays but no crown on the head piece, just the GIbson scroll on top, and an SG body. The SG Specials they market as such today are nothing like these beauties from The 60's. P-90's rule.

[@ridgecountry777]

Awesome demo ..!!!

[@shytownmofo]

Nothing is better than a bass. Get with the program. Down with Bassism!

[@skeetschuler1859]

Rock machine. SWEET

[@refugiopoint]

Man, I was really hoping he got a new jacket and shirts for Christmas......

[@stepvanjoe3469]

Hell never mind new just wash the ones he is always wearing

[@YouriCarma]

looks like a nice solid guitar all together.

[@thomasrichmond601]

By the way you young players out there, I’d get this one if I were you, thanks 🎸

[@sixty2jeff]

Is that a “Chad”in the back?

[@TheChadPad]

You spotted me!

[@frankjc661]

LOVE p90s!

[@barrysoetoro1543]

sounds so good, but does it sound good backwards???

[@rongerritse8567]

Very cool guitar👌🏻

[@OdinHammersmith]

That is so much better than a bass. 👍

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy non- Thumpin' Thursday. It's junior's bigger brother!

[@BawlsMahoney]

I have 2 things to say 1:What happened to the giveaway? 2: You did this EXACT guitar EXACTLY 1 year 1 day ago!!! Not only that but your guests used this guitar at least once in another video. So this is the third time this guitar's been shown.

[@alexcosentino4649]

Ajit V. Pai It’s probably not the exact same guitar. They did make a fuckload oh Specials back in the day.

[@guitarocd9984]

Even if it was the same guitar so what. He'll keep showing it until it sells. I doubt it's the same guitar.

[@HBSuccess]

And the dude in the background was there 366 days ago as well, but he had an earlier iPhone.

[@HBSuccess]

Oh and it’s very doubtful anything this clean/ in-demand would hang around for a month, much less a year. BUT - it could have easily sold a year ago but have come back in on trade, or have been traded and wound up at a show or a collection where Norm was on the hunt - So this could be the exact same guitar. Entirely feasible.

[@HBSuccess]

Ok I went back and looked. It does look. very similar but the fade pattern around the bridge is slightly different . And it was in a different case. That means nothing bc vintage cases are also hot sellers. It could have been sold separately. What was the same is Mark’s leather jacket and zippers LOL.

[@davis7959]

Mark, you are entertaining, but Jen makes it happen 😘

[@snuffygrunt2842]

I think James Gurly of Big Brother played one of those.. or a modified Junior.. for awhile.

[@coledraper5694]

The only thing not better than a bass is no episode, which is the same as a bass

[@jerrytee2688]

Agnesi gettin' after it, fuck yeah!

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

I guess the guitar contest is off? Didn't hear you mention it in yesterday's video, or this one.

[@Anthony-qb2gr]

It's only for the Patreon

[@thesword2380]

What a great show. Changed my thought process. That's always good. I'm scared to ask how you can play covers without being "stricken" from the list of Mr KZbin! So I do not.

[@maxwelld3753]

Y u no thumpin Thursday on JPJs birthday?

[@timlilly]

Oh yeah. But Mark I think it's new T shirt time!

[@TURBOCAST]

Bad ass guitar!!!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@billkeaveney1526]

Does anyone know how Mark decides on the songs. Are they songs originally recorded using the type of guitar each time or just rabdom.

[@calum9454]

Bill Keaveney songs originally played on the particular guitar. He always plays Keith on tele customs etc etc

[@joemorrow8411]

A out of control teenager a juvenile delinquent sound✌

[@anderjl276ps]

[@TheRockyhockey007]

I really like the specials , I mean I luv my Jr. so why wouldn't I luv the special , overheat those P90's and they just rock , this one sounded a little funny in the midrange areas but maybe just a little out of tune , still a great set as always Mark. Back in the saddle again , 2019 is shaping up nicely.
