[@Zelomeisterdude]

Deluxe LPs, my favorite, love the minis! Also, aesthetically the size of the minis fit the body better then any other style pick-up, LPs with mini's look better then any other Les Paul.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

Favourites of mine also 😃 These guitars don't seem to be appreciated as they deserve to be IMO

[@iggypyro78]

Damn that thing sounded freaking insane. I guess I've never heard a Deluxe because that doesn't sound like any Les Paul that's graced my ears before. Nice guitar playing my friend.

[@BuzzcutGtr]

I don't recall ever having seen a Deluxe in black -- very cool guitar. Thanks, Mark!

[@thomasmeyer342]

Just spent five days in the hospital with acute pancreatitis and had my gallbladder removed. Watching #GuitarOfTheDay helped me make it through the ordeal, you know that, and morphine, lots and lots of morphine.

Man, you took the cop out. There are 29 songs that Jimi recorded that Janie does not have control over their use. You need to troll her as often as possible with those songs.

Talk to me about Jimi and his family. But I appreciate you Mark for mentioning him. Thanks again Mark ✌️ and too Jen I love your voice dammiitt 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@MikeMarden1]

I always thought Les Paul Deluxes look a bit off in a sunburst finish because of the pickup spacing but look great in a solid color like wine, gold, or black.

Cool T shirt, mark.... Cheers from indonesia. Always like the LP Deluxe!!!!!

If u look real close, Mark is actually Dave Matthews with a 2 day shadow.

[@larrygeetar9309]

Nice mention of Jimi Hendrix, Mark. Thank you. It is a bit weird what sister Janie is doing. Jimi wanted the whole world to hear his music and would have encour- aged free posting of it on youtube and other sites. This Fall is the 50th Anniversary of Electric Ladyland, his greatest achievement. Eddie Kramer said it best: "After fifty years, modern technology is finally catching up with Jimi Hendrix."

[@timlilly]

Uuumm nice. I had a 1989 model from new and the binding turned pink, in fact it almost glowed. Sadly it had to go

[@guitarocd9984]

What color?

[@dom6906]

Guitar ocd it’s a lemon burst

MODIFICATIONS??? You didn’t get the memo - all Gibsons are priceless collectors’ items ... that is unless you’ve changed the strings.

[@texwyo1]

Very nice 👍

[@gearmeister]

The best sounding & playing Les Paul I ever used was a very early Deluxe (probably a 70), borrowed from the lead singer. I bought a 78 goldtop deluxe new & my only gripe was the width at nut was slightly smaller than a standard

[@thomasnettleton289]

Hearing those two mini's in the middle position, I almost looked at the screen to make sure he wasn't playing an Epi-Gibby.

[@eddietruly8807]

No Tele because nobody is selling them ? .... Oh that's right Tele is the new #1 Axe to Grind . Thank you Roy Buchanan, Danny Gatton and Clarence White

[@sweetswing1]

Rebel Rebal was exact, must be the same amp/guitar on the record or very close.

[@Natalia-jn8ul]

Amazing guitar 😍😍

[@mrcurtis73]

Was toys in the attic played with mini humbuckers?

[@ianswanberg2327]

I have that same exact guitar, but I believe it's a 1980? I bought it used about 24 years ago when I was a teen from the American Music store in Bellevue, WA. I don't know anything about the history of the guitar before I purchased it, but it's a really road worn guitar. Somebody had switched out the original tuners for Grovers, it needed a new fret job, and Idk if the previous owner(s) smoked heavily or it was left out in direct sunlight a lot because in the right lighting it's a dark green. Kinda wish I had an idea of what it's worth, even though I have no intention of ever letting it go and it's going to be passed down to my boys if they want it.

[@smoggy1964]

It would be nice to hear different Amps now and then

[@Fnortner01]

Toys in the attic baby, YEAAAAHHHHHHH.

[@HBSuccess]

Markus I’d like to know W. T. F. the copyright holders of these 50 yr old tunes think they are “preventing” by making an issue out of KZbin clips. I guess it never occurred to Jimi’s (or whomever’s) estate that maybe- just maybe- a whole new generation of record-buyers could possibly go out and purchase some ‘stuff’ by the dearly departed. But not if they never get to hear any of it. This music is 50 yrs old. If today was 1972 we’d be talking about music from Al Jolson and Scott Joplin. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

[@larrygeetar9309]

It's not "people," it's Janey Hendrix. We all agree with you. Jimi Hendrix would have been more than happy to share every bit of his music with the world at large. And he would never have allowed most of the crappy posthumous recordings released. He had too much pride in his music for that. The more recent releases from the past few years are much better than previous junk, mainly because there has been a lot of thought put in to them. Plus, Eddie Kramer has most of the creative license. He was Jimi's man in the studio.

[@GerardWaysHun20]

I dont understand this either. The only artists I can think of that have their music totally scrubbed from KZbin is Hendrix & Prince. It seems like who's ever in control of their estates went against the common advice of their own lawyers. The brand of the artist is more than just the music. I mean Jimi posters, artwork, figurines, clothes, guitars..wasnt there even a marijuana brand in the works?

[@Tensen01]

At least with Prince it was actually his idea. The Hendrix thing is just flat out greed.

[@guitarscarsetc.etc.7215]

I was expecting some gnr, didn't slash play one on the illusion tours?

[@melvinjames1077]

I heard they sound like a teli lol i have had mine sense 1980 and I’ve never thought that i will say mine has a very bright sound on the bridge pickup and it will slice through any rhythm section I’ve tried to play lead onto ! It will go very heavy and it will clean up like a bell ! I will never sell it it plays like a caddy when i need a smooth easy player that the guitar i grab ! So if anyone is thinking about buying one you probably want be let down if its set up right and we all know thats for all guitars

[@claudeman]

I kept hearing "Too many humbuckers" haha (I know he's saying two mini)

[@douglasfrazier2856]

Definitely a high-class rock 'n' roll monster - though the mini-humbuckers are not as smooth in tone as PAFs or even P90s, they've got a metallic quality to them - which admittedly, works very well for STP and other heavy heavy monster sounds

[@jimistheman9732]

The Deluxe / Mini guitars can sound as sweet as BB King's Lucille on the neck PU or sing like the full HB's at the other end (although a lot brighter and they won't drive the amp as hard w/o boost). Banging out distorted chords isn't a demo, it's a disservice. Play some solos clean on both ends, some with a bit of sustain, _then_ some power chords. (Unfortunately banging out power chords/heavy distortion seems to be the test mode for most every KZbin guitar / amp demo).

[@ritchtaylor3831]

Swap out those mini's for P-90's. They drop right in, no routing necessary. Instant cool.

[@Wooburnmusic]

Aw gee sus WHY ?

[@tomjohn3364]

Your really pushing it when the best thing you can say about the guitar us that it has really cool old binding and it's black. That guitar amp combination just didn't work. To dry to harsh. I have a 77 Les Paul Deluxe and it has much more warm and to be and mud then the one shown here has.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

I'm sure we all agree about Janie. Wot!! No Townshend?

[@briang93photography]

Gorgeous guitar, more impressed that the latches still work on that case! They're almost always broken....BTW have any vintage ukuleles?

[@scottking6662]

Doubt that's an original case..originals had plastic latches

[@gibsonfan159]

That's the most Telecaster sounding LP I've ever heard.

[@vmat1000]

i like it.

[@simondeeth9097]

Wouldn't mind seeing one of those Epiphone Etceteras

[@contrabandjoe7974]

It just occurred to me that in my 40+ years of playing I don't think I've ever used a Neck pickup exclusively.. Of course bridge and middle position but never the neck pickup by itself. I've never liked the dark, muddy tone of the neck... What says others???

[@sammyhat2443]

ContraBand Joe i love the the neck pu on my tele deluxe makes me warm and fuzzy

[@eddieschneider6578]

That amp sounds like crap, but an awesome guitar

[@cgavin1]

Its like they were always being told: your amp sounds like crap! So they got the hand wired version of the crap amp. Hehe.

[@clarkbanes6958]

Great episode! Will this be the week where Mark films and Jen does a demo while explaining what the guitar is??

[@joelsimms4636]

Into it today man!

[@saintbrando]

What would Lemmy do...Jimi Hendrix was ahead of his time. I can dig a Les Paul instead of a Telecaster. Cheers Mark 🍻🍻🍻

[@shytownmofo]

Lemmy actually was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix in the 60s. May they both rock in peace.

[@51Dss]

I wouldn't say Jimi was ahead of his time - I would say he was a man for his time. The true test of art is time - how does it hold up over time. Jimi's music holds up as well today as it did then. Maybe even more revered today than it was then.

[@guitarocd9984]

In my opinion there was only 3 guitar players that changed the direction of rock and roll. Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen.

[@masonharris9166]

Evh "revolutionized" a genre that would all but die within a few years. Rhoads however, changed a genre that still last to this day.

[@guitarocd9984]

Randy Rhoads was great but he just took what Van Halen started. There's a lot of great guitar players but that wasn't my point.

[@sickb2200]

Drive-By Truckers. Cool stuff. Play 'em.

[@vernonhoover1387]

Sweet peice

[@snuffygrunt2842]

Axis Bold is Love was my favorite. It hints to the new direction he was taking. Nobody ever "forgets" how to play the blues anyways, so.. we would still have that; but.. I often wonder about the cool stuff that might have been and never was. If I could own a Les Paul.. it would be that one. I would play Slade, Humble Pie, Electric Light Orchestra and stuff like that. The damn things are like trying to smash a sledge hammer. Don't get me wrong.. it can be done, but.. there are better choices for smashing.

[@asorite]

Wouldnt it be awesome if @markagnesi have his own bobblehead figure?

[@brett750]

Hey Mark, First off, Thank you for the ceasing of zipper rashing the guitars with your leather. 👍. But I'm hoppin' peeved 'cause when you described the 1979 Les Paul Deluxe, you say, & I kwöt - "Other than that it's kinda like a Les Paul Standard". Shenanigans I say!! If one thing destroys the essence of The Les Paul Tone more than any other, it's A freakin MAPLE NECK!!!. You omitted this very major detail. I'm a guitar weenie I know this stuff, but some of the folks who are considering the purchase of this fine guitar, may not know this, and will be frustrated like I was back in '84, when I got the 82' Cream White SG Special for Christmas, and I couldn't get any Angus out of it. I thought it was me, but ACTUALLY Gibson was making them out of Poplar bodies, and Maple Necks!! Yeah, I've got issues. Anyway, that aside, I love the show, and think that for Boxing Day, Jen should do the review, and you should film it. Peace, Love, and No left handed pick salesmen, Brett

[@vmat1000]

on the 10th anniversary of Jimi's passing, i knocked on a fellow players door asking "Do you know what day this is?" Right response was "I miss him every day". 25th anniversary and i was at a job for about 3 months but wanted to take the day off. I didn't. Used to keep track. Missed today. RIP, James Marshall Hendrix.
