[@fenderjazz6213]

Mike M. Hey Mojo, so nice too see you back......🐷...

[@mikeymojo8299]

Fender jazz 62 howdie FJ

[@fenderjazz6213]

Mike M....Mike, these are the kind of 6 strings that I would be proud to have in the collection....absolutely beautiful.....

[@mikeymojo8299]

Fender jazz 62 agreed. that middle positioning of the P90 creates some real cool tone options. extremely clean for a ‘59 that’s a gem 💎

[@jasonbowman8698]

Mike M. Hey mike good to see you back. Btw that’s a beautiful Gibbo with the one pickup absolute gold 👍👍🍺

[@RockHardRiffs]

That sweet rumble of the p90! Blessed be the ES!

[@pg123ab]

I have a 56, once I adjusted the height of the pick up, it got comfortable to play, I learned quickly that the sounds changes depending where you pick the strings, brighter by the bridge. Great guitar.

[@vcr210]

Love 225 Singles!! Had a 57 Blondie... the one that got away...

[@braderrick]

The first song is another of the great Brent Mason’s masterpieces... “Swing with a Sting”

[@waybackplayback1373]

I have to agree with Curtis John Cole: Immaculate in both sound and beauty. Too bad someone can't make a guitar like that nowadays...

[@strangedean]

The only thing I want made in China is chicken chow mein. gotta hand it to the U.S., they filled the world with nice guitars.

[@andrewkumarmusic]

ES 225s are awesome! I was really tempted to pick one up around the holidays, such great sounding guitars.

[@angryheb1]

Omg I just wanna touch that guitar, it's so beautiful! Piece of history! Mark is so awesome on guitar!!

[@andrewpappas9311]

Song 1: Some Jazz song I don't know Song 2: Moondance - Van Morrison

[@dirkbonesteel]

Don't know either but sounded Les Paul like. Everything he did had a Flight of the Bumblebee vibe

[@tprusin]

I have a 1956 ES-225...very nice/warm/sweet/pretty. The P-90 does one think and it does it well. Thanks Mark...long time watcher...first time poster.

[@jimbonacum8917]

One other difference between these and the 125 is that the 225 has binding on the neck which the 125 lacks. Jeezus that was some quick clean pickin'. One of the best things about these older models with the P90s is that you can find so many tones by working the knobs,

[@Zelomeisterdude]

This has to be my favorite tone to come out of a Gibson thinline with a P90. The placement of the pick-up? That crazy long trapeze tailpiece/bridge? All of it together? Whatever, I just know I loooooove the sound of this guitar! Wow!

[@jamieaditya1162]

I have this same guitar.. bought it in 1996 at a store in Singapore for $1000 Singapore Dollars.I love it!

[@stevenolsen3162]

Mark, you never fail to surprise me...

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

WOW A 1959 GIBSON ES 225T DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD A FUNKY DARK DEEP TONE CARLOS GUITARLOS USA HIGHLAND PARK L.A. 90042

[@jgrimsley2000]

Agnesi working man's guitar skills. Always delivers the payload....

[@johnhmaloney]

Great guitar and with that pickup placement this could practically count as a Weird-ass Wednesday too.

[@jstringer213]

yep... in the middle...really?

[@nathantimberlake234]

Some of the best playing I have seen from you Mark! Sounded great, I wish I could afford a guitar like that, and be able to play those tunes.

[@greensombrero3641]

a steely dan guitar - beautiful. time out of mind for me this weekend

[@DanaLeeGibson]

Freak'in Sweet!!! Beautiful sound . . . best I've heard all day!

[@davidpotter817]

I agree mark that is a beautiful instrument

[@brianorion505]

Awesome so cool to find the photo!

[@TheDude4077]

It's weird how different this sounds from a 330 despite being built so similarly. I guess pickup placement and funky tailpieces make a big difference

[@puarojarevello5700]

Shout out to Vince Revello, who is celebrating his 16th birthday while watching guitar of the day, all the way from Argentina

[@christophermay4998]

Not a heavily optioned guitar.....but a very beautiful and clean one.....sounded good too......👍👍

[@MikeMassions]

Hello. Is there a channel to contact you about a price, after store hours? Thank you. Best regards, Mike

[@slickyjorj]

I really dig that guitar, holy, nun owned... great tone, and just looks awesome.

[@jackroberts9401]

Oooh me likey!!!! Nice playing too Mark.

[@WriterMikeMonson]

okay, that was great. Best TV show ever. Best host ever. Best sidekick ever. Best set ever.

[@HBSuccess]

Then don't mess with it... no opening theme... no jingle. You can't improve perfect. You can only make it imperfect. (Lord.. I zoom past *any* KZbin 'opening theme' anyway- this ain't Hawaii 5-0 or Green Acres - get to the video)

[@WriterMikeMonson]

okay, sorry. Forget it. I'd delete my post except then I'd be deleting your well-reasoned and wise response.

[@WriterMikeMonson]

oh, wait.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

You bet your bippy people felt differently about Gibby's back in the 50's! 1."Unidentifiable To Me Boppy Jazz" 2. Van Morrison "Moondance". Souvlaki feed me soon! Make it/do it better folks when possible..

[@fenderjazz6213]

Bodyknowledge 77...hey bk, you just dated yourself with that " bet your bippy " stuff. But wait a minute, I know how old/young ( pick one ) you are...so you must of been a re-run kid.....ha....

[@danielbrown8556]

Curtis John Cole that was a ride

[@fenderjazz6213]

Looks like Lil Curtis has left the building......

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Fender jazz 62 I'm....:-)

[@MattyK-USA]

That would be a "sweet bippy", would it not? Based on my memory of Rowan and Martin's Laugh In...

[@davidkieltyka9]

Yum, those are sweet guitars. Putting the pickup in the middle gives it a wide frequency range with strong mids.

[@jimmywhitley994]

Heavenly tone!

[@mariozamprogno1654]

Glorious

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Nice sound.. smooth jazz!

[@JT-gd7he]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@TheRockyhockey007]

some marvelous moondancing there Mark , very nice guitar , great sound , I'm likin the ES Wednesday thing , need more days of the week to fit in all these genres , Gibson , fender , flattops , archtop , ES , bass , weirdass , so many guitars so little time

[@stevenolsen3162]

Jen... 'Uh... Dual pickups.' She shoots she scores!!!

[@anthonynonya]

That's so much cooler to me than a 330. The sharp cutaway really does it.

[@jasonblachowski]

Beautiful

[@ALEEN517]

Just the thumbnail photo made me go, "Oooh, this going to be a good one."

[@Wileylikethehawk]

Anyone else notice the label on the case on the left of the screen that said "PBlue 330" right when Mark was talking about 330s??

[@johneason6540]

Hi sounds like a Saturday night blues/jazz guitar. If you were out clubbing. Nice. Awesome as always.

[@thomasmarcotte270]

#ALLCAPSFORCARLOS

[@timlilly]

Playing Jazz again, I think you should do that more often

[@dieter6219]

5:15 how many years did it take til you could play the lick ? ;) 2. the Iegendary great G is the great G is the great G, and will be in 100.000 years, no matter what the position of tone control whatsoever...

[@DietzCE]

The Archbishop blessed this guitar and that is why it's "immaculate". Virgin guitar owned by a Nun, I see what you did there.

[@xxdrnickxx6351]

Nice shout on moon dance my mom loves that song

[@BluesBroken]

Beautiful😎🎸🔊

[@hillbillywoodrum5339]

Sweet looking guitar

[@adamconstantine1984]

Can you get the same sound as a junior in this?

[@oldskipper1394]

Note to self: Be sure to leave odd and discomforting things in guitar cases so that the guy like Mark 60 years from now will be freaked out when he finds them.

[@johnnyandhiswolves]

I put condoms in cases when I sell guitars online

[@21228bijoux]

Great Moondance 👍👍 Mark.

[@SuperLuchadore]

Nice licks homey!

[@SilverXIIVI]

This is cool to see, thanks for the video as always. Not my style, but I love it.

[@DanButcher303]

What's up with that "P Blue 330" on that case at 4:26 ?

[@DanButcher303]

Is there really a P Blue 330 in there ? Everybody loves p blue haha !!!!!

[@lazaglider]

Ok someone explain this to me. Certain hollow body p-90 guitars such as es 330/casino seem to be seen as multi use guitars. From clean jazz to face melting rock. Why is it that when we see such examples as this beauty, it could only possibly used as a clean picker? They always seem to get pigeon-holed like that, but unless I’m missing something, there really isnt anything wildly different that would prevent such a guitar from being used in a similar way to it’s more...cool relatives. Any thoughts?

[@akushinda]

I think it’s just that they offer something in the clean department that the more modern solid bodies lack. At high gain, lots of pedals, guitars tend to all blend together and sound the same. A guitar like this shines when you hear its unadulterated pure sound.

[@googo151]

DAY BEFORE MY 4TH BIRTHDAY.

[@josephtimmins1974]

Mercy!

[@thomasnettleton289]

Good lord that trapeze tailpiece is huge!

[@Chrispy_tV]

Beautiful guitar! Is it just me or is some of the magic kinda gone with the pre-recorded episodes? Part of the beauty of it is knowing they JUST cut it and it's sort of hectic and what not. Maybe I'm weird I dunno. Find this week hard to get into. Kinda wish they just took a vacation and came back HARD when Jen came back.

[@Attercop47]

that is one JAZZY Guitar , I must say

[@wethekingsfan0111]

This is awesome hi mark and Jen

[@nikosk.8216]

I wish I could have one

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it.

[@fenderjazz6213]

Mr.Stranger....oh yea, beautiful guitar.....if I'm not mistaken, this fine piece might be somewhere in your alley......

[@leroyosborne4492]

Can you guys please do a left handed guitar

[@scottie777777]

Great tone and a bitch'in look. Thanx Mark.

[@douglaswalther8489]

The Jacket!

[@wezzlyn]

one of these bad boys at a local pawn shop. 1800 bucks.

[@kscotthoy]

I should buy this and play a bunch of Slayer on it.

[@DingDangg]

This was the same version ritchie valens purchased right before his death in 1959.

[@rodentgabriele687]

This was my 2nd guitar( first was a silvertone kinda strat copy). I loved this guitar,but the tailpiece sucked! Guitar was stolen by an ex friend and sold.

[@eutoners7064]

Price?

[@edgarmcbee2474]

That's awesome if I had the money it would have a new home

[@lanceriffle4841]

How could they part with that. Oh my.

[@jeffhollidy5194]

Clean Jazz box

[@jobckts682]

In 1986, my dumb friend, replaced P90s wth humbckr. Then $old in a jam. Scumbag McClearn music in Havertown pa, only gave $375. Sold for $1.200.

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

An Immaculate Confection. 🍬🍬Hi Sisters!

[@Smagledorf]

[@bb.6969]

[@lanceriffle4841]

[@EvilHomer1973]

INTONATION? WE DONT NEED NO STINKIN INTONATION! The low E looks like its not even spaced @ the bridge. :)

[@songwriterjj6022]

You could spell Wednesday without ES, but people would think you were having a stroke.

[@toddflowers8052]

Mine ! I'll trade you my Firebird ,59 is my birth year.

[@tomjohn3364]

Dig that crazy sound man!!! Go cat go!!!!!! Really pretty guitar sweet sounding machine.. Vox vox is all ya need.

[@thetreblerebel]

Oh the days when Norman Guitars was cool...too bad Gibson ruined this guy's social image by telling every company they were gonna sue them, and lose lol Cheers Norman cheers

[@melvynobrien6193]

Good for jazz noodlers.

[@theverseshed]

If you can't find/afford a 225, check out The Loar 302T (if you can find one). 2 pups. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naXUo3mAndN2qac

[@GuitarExpress]

Primero desde Chile!

[@lauramoore9659]

I'm on a MISSION to catch up AKA KETCHUP...

[@Flamewalk]

Now that's a weird spot for a pickup. The whole guitar looks kind of freakish because of that. But soundwise it's great, I should admit - it's the golden mean.

[@littlequacka]

Leather jacket with big nasty zips and a mint vintage guitar? Sorry, bad match up.

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy notso Weird-ass WednESday everyone!
