I Finally Got One! | 2010 Gibson Les Paul Baritone Buckethead Signature (Early Version Binding)

[@stop736]

“We really don’t need a Bucket reissue…what we really need is another Slash signature guitar or possibly another Adam Jones Silverburst.” - Gibson Marketing

[@Joey_McElroy]

😂😂😂😂😂 just one more Slash model should do it 😂😂😂😂 Gibson is so good at listening….but I still love em

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

😂 “Every boomer dentist in America will want one!”

[@kurdtjohn]

Or perhaps another Joe Bonnamassa signature

[@Ottophil]

Whats weird is your acting like the people who convince people 50k for a guitar are bad at business. They are making money. And i don’t blame them.

[@PeterMoore350]

Haha you made me laugh. Thx

[@frayed3nds]

C'mon Gibson, give us a reissue on these already!

[@chrisquick9219]

It’s definitely one of those where they let him go because he wasn’t in GNR and had the boost from Guitar Hero 2

[@captainbufoalvarius4508]

They will release anything for a buck. So look for one in non baritone.

[@chrisburch3808]

nah we definitely need another Slash model

[@EXCESSIVEPERFTV]

Love these things!!! Awesome vid and killer dk shirt bro!!! Congrats

[@user-mn3vt2sl1m]

I want Epiphone to do one. Make it affordable. Something like the Adam Jones or Matt Heafy

[@Fiberoptiks]

if Gibson won't reissue, Epi inspired by custom should take a swing at it.

[@user-mn3vt2sl1m]

Amen. That's what I want so it not extortionate

[@PerfectCircle91]

Hell yeah

[@user-mn3vt2sl1m]

They did the Jerry Cantrell with extended neck length

[@hkguitar1984]

14:28, Austin, steaming is for raising a dent. What your fingerboard has is a chunk missing, do not steam it, you'll loosen the fingerboard glue. Have a Luthier mix up some glue and fine Ebony sawdust, he will clean the area and fill it with ebony epoxy/glue. Then it can be cleaned up to the point it will hardly be noticeable. EDIT, what a fantastic Buckethead example, love the figured fingerboard. 👍

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Why is it OK to steam a dent? He clearly stated that he has no intention of doing such a thing.

[@NavelOrangeGazer]

​​@@ChrisShortyAllen A dent the wood is pressed in and compacted so steaming will raise the grain. A chunk missing is just missing there's nothing for the steam to raise.

[@hkguitar1984]

@@ChrisShortyAllen In some instances steaming a dent in wood will swell the wood out to its original shape, literally making the dent disappear. It would of course require finish touchup, but it can and has been done. With a fingerboard, often times the glue used will release when exposed to heat and moisture, so the only time you want to use a lot of steam on a fingerboard would be to remove it.

[@stewartross13]

Just let him do it like he fixed the nut on that 60s SG

[@chrisdigital]

I have the Firefly tribute of this guitar, they did an amazing job.

[@glaucosouza1971]

Love the way you're putting the measurements info on the screen now. The font, size, colour, everything . Right on Trogly!

[@Photognick521]

I’m glad this one was delivered completely intact, that red switch tip looks so nice.

[@SaabJitsu]

So some inside baseball for ya Trog, I was there painting white guitars from '12-'16. It was maybe 13 or 14 I got some BIG SGs sent upstairs with white fingerboard apparently for a sample run of Bucketheads. The pegheads nearly drug on the floor if the booth, they are that much bigger. Anyway as sometimes happens he and Henry couldn't agree on some things apparently and I never saw them again. Not sure if they are in the vault or if they got destroyed, but Jim may know. Great video sir!

[@KALVIN123]

5ply binding vs 7ply binding?!?!? That change the tone completely!!!!!!!

[@zeusapollo8688]

Tone binding😂

[@joermnyc]

Nah, the reverse binding, that’s the real tone changer! 😂

[@turdferguson3855]

It's one louder!!

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Most top guitarists opt for the additional inspiration inherent with extra binding. Tone is secondary.

[@ringsystemmusic]

Came to see Trogly stumble through some Buckethead riffs but left slightly frustrated because he actually played them pretty well! I gotta get my mitts on one of these.

[@PeterMoore350]

His playing has improved over the years hey ?

[@tjmanning]

Just an extra tip on the arcade buttons: Sanwa sells two different securing styles for their buttons, screw in and snap in. If you do want to use one for your guitar make sure to get the screw style because the snap in style are made to be put into very thin plastic. You would have to shave the wood down inside of your control cavity to fit them.

[@DannyRedCheeks]

Buckethead is like 6’7” and has huge hands He is also a musical genius By far one of the most underrated guitarist ever Slash at first said he was just a technical player and had no feel Then when he couldn’t play any of buckets guitar parts on Chinese democracy he realized how amazing Bucket is and changed his tune Listen to “hold me forever” and tell me he doesn’t play with feel

[@guitartunes6890]

Buckethead has no match

[@johnnyxmusic]

I am installing a kill switch on my air guitar. Mimic authentic.

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Without the coil split you are wasting your time. Go the extra mile.

[@pennywise4843]

I bought the studio from this seller! It’s amazing.

[@JohnViguerie]

Let's not forget Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains - the weirdest supergroup ever

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

And one of the finest. I saw them a couple times on that tour, one of the greatest live bands I've ever seen.

[@SouthpawSatch]

Never let that guitar go!!!! It's such a rare beauty

[@doctoribanez]

Probably the coolest signature gibson

[@musicauthority674]

I remember when Bucket Head first came along. and everyone was wondering who he was. he's been around for long time.

[@infinidominion]

He's on the soundtrack of the first Mortal Kombat movie from '95 😂

[@vorpalblades]

Deli Creeps

[@PeterMoore350]

Excuse my ignorance but was he in a band of some sort or was he an artist in his own right?

[@musicauthority674]

@@PeterMoore350 There were a lot of people that speculated that he was a guitarist with some group. I think he was unmasked at some point. but I never found out who he is.

[@PeterMoore350]

@@musicauthority674 thx man. Appreciated. So how does one find his music then online ?

[@jimwguitar3002]

You can sand a piece of ebony and use the dust with superglue to spot fill the fretboard.

[@joermnyc]

Stew Mac also sells little jars of wood dust for ebony, and pretty much anything just for this repair.

[@bryandraughn9830]

Never of that one before.

[@sassycat]

Suggestion: when discussing the guitar(s), could you mention the original list price vs. the paid price? It might help viewers understand how much they appreciate in value.

[@jimmyjames2022]

Wow sounds so good! A very cool 2010 Buckethead Baritone LP, thanks to the seller for making this deal work out. Gibson ceramic pups are awesome under gain/OD.

[@myoptik3x103]

Sweet, I know that you have been wanting another one for a long time. Congratulations on your new/old guitar day!

[@berziimusic]

i just converted a 2012 Squier Bullet Telecaster into a [24 Fret] [28 5/8th] scale length with a Purpleheart Warmoth neck. Small Light Body, modded for one volume, Seymour JB bridge pickup, and now baritone scale for drop tunings. im very excited because ive had the guitar for years in its original form since i was younger until about three years ago i did the pickup and pickguard/control cover changes, and i sat with the idea of making it baritone for a while since ive been playing 7 and 8 strings guitars now for about 5-6years now so i want that extra bit on that guitar.

[@cdnnielsen5964]

still have your old one; i had to repair the headstock after it fell forward on a zither stand but it sounds just as good as before. The oversized SGs are also cool, have seen some deals on those lately

[@basp-ef7jx]

I think Buckethead is awesome. I can't do what he do with a guitar, so the signature model doesn't mean much. But he's awesome.

[@JohnViguerie]

Iconic Guitar - unique player and persona

[@joellane7438]

Love your reviews, always a fun learning experience

[@Nothing-gv8mv]

Playing a baritone always give me a feeling kind of like I've pulled too far away from a drive-up window

[@joermnyc]

That’s me with full scale basses. 😂.

[@ooferrell]

Funny I've been playing a 7 string baritone for so much years now, I try to pick up my epi les paul a d it feels like a child's guitar lmfao

[@Matthew-xr5be]

Dude that's a hilarious analogy!.. So many people trying to be funny > so many failed [to be KIND] attempts.. YOU NAILED IT!.. Kudos!..

[@Joe___R]

If you want a robust momentary switch using the same ones arcade games use makes perfect sense. They get beat on for decades and still work well, so anything you might do to it while playing guitar shouldn't be a problem.

[@deanbartone8187]

I definitely need to try one of those haven’t come across one yet, but thank you for sharing that good for you, my man

[@steveparish9210]

Now hang on to it!

[@the_hippykiller22]

The whole point of baritones is actually to be able to tune low with lighter strings since it increases the tension, so a 10 46 set in standard on a 27in scale makes the strings very tight, these guitars are made to be tuned low.

[@flyingv7161]

Does Trogly say the strings' gauge? It's 10s? I'd try 9s for Standard E, and 10s for Standard D. Now I have 11s on standard D, on a LP Standard; now it's easy to overbend them since I was using the same strings on standard E

[@pablorages1241]

Love it ... wish I could get one

[@ericbgordon1575]

You need to feature more of these instruments, Trogly. When you play them, I think they bring out the best in your skills.

[@SoilentGreen666]

Need a epiphone version of that !!!!

[@jocadamotoca916]

I would like to see an Epiphone inspired by Gibson version of this, with the open book headstock and all the spec's

[@philsipad]

Just so happened I finally got to see Buckethead last week here in NYC.

[@rafaelsanchez-ortiz4831]

Good choice for the strap 👍

[@InfinityCristaralee]

It’s been a while since we saw Troglys face but would have loved to see you in the mask and bucket

Totally. I have one of those… It’s kind of fun.

[@monsterkxf]

Change the selector switch knob to a white one like Bucket 🤘🤘

[@krzysztofwaleska]

Sounds like big Buckethead fan. I'm also, although lately larger influenced by SMOD. I must go back to Buckethead and remind myself why i like listening him. Recently listening old Queen and Rainbow songs gave me extreme pleasure. With BH should be the same. Great guitar. Sounds more classic than classic LP. That ,,metal rail'' sound is much stronger.

[@loumonte658]

A thing to know about steaming dings. If the wood is pressed down it's good for steaming up. However if wood was chipped off there won't be any wood to steam up.

[@07blackdog]

Good score, man.

[@jimyounger9490]

I don’t know how to reach you but Gibson just released the number 1 , 00001 , first reissue 1959 recreation from 1980 vintage series. It’s been in Gibson vault for 40 years. Anyway thought you might like that. Museum maybe ?? It’s 25k. It’s on Gibson website.

[@PlayingWithMyselfGuitar]

Probably the coolest Les Paul

[@SneezyPond]

The dream guitar! I got a Chibson version and it actually is still pretty decent but I'd love an original one! For 8gs you can import a unique Japanese car though 😅

[@RedRavenNine]

I bought one of the Chibson versions for around a hundred bucks with a broken neck... knowing or hoping it would be an easy fix. It was. I went and measured it. The body and scale length was indeed the same as my other LP, however the headstock was bigger by roughly half an inch. So it looks bigger in the rack than the standard LP, but it is all an illusion, as it is just the headstock.

[@tgarder]

Actually glad I tried to steam out a big ding on my newly acquired white tele, used a wet cloth over and put my soldering iron on it and voilá. Didn't 100% go away but maybe just 10% left of the intendation (but that tele didn't cost $8,000 😅)

[@Mechashiva76]

I've got one of these. I bought it when I was an assistant manager at a guitar center. I believe I paid around $1100 before tax (I got it for basically cost). I had no idea these would become so collectable. when I special ordered it, I was on the fence if I should even buy it. I ran my credit card for the down payment and my card declined. I figured it was fate telling me not to buy it... but I called my credit card company and they said they declined it because it was "suspicious behavior". they cleared me to charge the down payment and the rest is history. I finally got the guitar in april of 2010. I personally unboxed it. it was never on the showroom floor.

[@harleywhatman1493]

I still want Jackson to do the Buckethead v.

[@thomasrevere7916]

I'd love that.

[@Mechashiva76]

I've always wanted that V too. if jackson were smart, they'd make the V and "les paul" (just oversize marty friedman's sig model and paint it white... and add 2 frets). they could do that with or without buckethead if they really want to. otherwise.... I assume jackson can still make a custom shop model of anything, but it would probably cost 6-10k'ish... but it would be a stupendously high quality guitar.

[@Bucketheadland1]

Great video 👊💪

[@ace9566061]

The guy I purchased my Studio Platinum from had 2 of these Buckethead Customs and a Buckethead Studio. First time I have seen one in person let alone got the honor of playing all 3 of them. If he ever sells he as already let me know I have first dibs!

[@RecRoomRon]

Question: are there any chibson buckethead lps that do have the correct scaling for baritone?

[@Incognito_alien]

Bucket’s studio work and live shows with GNR was damn good.

[@maxbutler2558]

truly a dream guitar for me, though I don't think ill ever be able to afford one

[@justindewit7903]

Is the head stock any larger than a typical LP headstock?

[@jonnyf9049]

really cool killswitch action man!

[@bukwok]

17:22 about gibson headstock veneer ,is gibson USA and gibson custom shop done differently about the headstock veneer material and the construction, because i saw some Les paul custom model used some type of black non wood material , some used wood veneer, because in that tune machines hole still see that venner black ,or they changed the construction technique or method at one point ?

[@ThatGuitarGuysChannel]

Its Very nice, but i don't think it's one of the first 60. Just by looking at the guitar you can tell if it's a 'first 60' edition or one from the remaining 440. Gibson Produced a limited first run of 60 of these guitars and sent one to various Gibson dealers. The first run of the 60 guitars has three differences from the latter Buckethead Les Paul's produced. First it has a different binding. First editions feature the Gibson custom binding pattern. This means it has a (thick) White- (thin) black- (thin) white- (thin) black- (thin) white. The latter production ones have a different 4 ply binding, consisting of a (thick) white- (thick) black- (thin) white- (thin) black. The second difference are the tuners. The first production Buckethead Les Paul's have Grover locking tuners, as stated on the website. The newer ones come with a Shaller-type unmarked locking tuner set. Finally, the first editions have an ebony fretboard while the latters have richlite.

[@lucasmusil1810]

I’m 5’5” and I have a buckethead studio and it feels so good even not being a big guy

[@rockon856]

Thanks for the info here. I'm a little confused though regarding the binding... mine has the 3 black striped binding, but the grover tuners. This is the opposite of what you mentioned that the grover (first run) should only have the 2 black binding stripes? any help appreciated. Cheers!

[@Trog]

The tuners are a bit random at times but most early ones have grover. Yours is likely one of the earlier switch over binding style units

[@lucasmusil718]

Been trying to get one of these, but it’s been so hard to make a deal with someone.

[@alejandroguevara1314]

For 14 years old the finish is in pretty good condition

[@chasehyland1800]

This is a long shot but I inherited one of these and know nothing about guitars and trying to learn about this one so can possibly sell it (I hate to but needed.). All the info on these are so conflicting and overwhelmingly confusing to me. Is it true that the 1st 60 are worth more? And how do you know if it's one of the 1st runs? I'm confused without pictures for the few tell tell signs however after watching video slowly i apparently have an early run (tried to post pic of binding bust guess cant do that on yourube lol. But its the "5 line" one, not the "7 line".). However I don't see brand on tuners and thought early runs had? No one in my area knows enough about this guitar to be helpful and only beg to see it and can verify its real. So any help would be appreciated if want to help me out 🙏. TIA It's a 2010 btw, I do know that.

So worried about the seam line! I couldn’t unsee the fret dent

[@Tre3]

The mention of how bigger people might want these guitars is accurate in my case. I am picky about the size of a guitar due to being 6'7", I often joke that most guitars full like toys in my hands. It is why i mostly stir away from LP's And SG's because they feel small, the idea of a Buckethead LP being bigger considering he himself is around my height. These guitars are a bit more ideal for what I am looking at guitars for possibly in the future.
