Norman's Rare Guitars - Guitar of the Day: 1962 Epiphone SB332 Crestwood Custom

[@stephenjackson600]

I requested The Hives like 2 months ago, and today that request has been fulfilled. Thank you, Mr. Agnesi

[@markwhitelaw7192]

By far the coolest double cut solid body style that Gibson/Epiphone ever made. Epiphone needs to start making this shape again! And not just one -off reissues or signatures but in the regular line. Very cool guitar

[@grady_co]

Definitely would never have expected you to play “The Middle” Mark

[@SonicRave1]

Grady Cbourne he has played it before.

[@tonya4157]

Awesome. The change when you went to the middle position was pretty damn cool. There was something about that tone. When you went to the bridge it all became clear. That's one helluva guitar!

[@danielotero8281]

Ohh boy, that is guitar is gorgeous

[@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328]

I saw Thin Lizzy with Gary Moore in the lineup. The opening act was AC/DC with Bon Scot. Third row center at Royal Oak Music Theater! While Bon was carrying Angus on his shoulders down the aisle, Malcolm unzipped his pants and flashed his bits at some girls. They cut AC/DC's power and the stage lights - the band takes it out on some equipment, and marches off. Good times!! RIP, Phil, Gary, Bon, Malcolm.

[@sunbrst62]

Some guitars just have "it". What a sound

[@michaeljohnson8552]

Remember seeing Thin Lizzy back in the late 70s. Top of The World nightclub Stafford UK. A Monday night .. hardly any one there.. Cool playing Mark✌

[@HBSuccess]

michael johnson THAT would have been cool. Kids today don’t get the ‘70s

[@Xcorgi]

You really have a guitar geek gear heads dream job! This is one job where you wake up every day and can’t wait to go to work!

[@johnhmaloney]

That sounded surprisingly good. Mini-hums are usually a bit too barky for my tastes, but those have some nice roundness to them.

[@markd.bogart2166]

John Maloney The age probably mellowed them a bit.. My 76 Firebird has mellowed a bit

[@Rrgr5]

The Epiphone's were a little better, which made those guitars more desirable, after sometime Gibson try to get a sound closer to an single coil with their minihumbuckers, that's why they weren't that successful, now days they are going back to the 60's humbucker like sound, brighter as usual.

[@guitarguy97]

my thoughts exactly

[@ffemto4]

I have the re-issue of this model and i love it!

[@voiceofexperience]

Ditto. If anything, I think it actually sounds better than this original!

[@andrewpappas9311]

Neck Pickup: The Middle - Jimmy Eat World Middle Pickup: Sounds like I Can't Explain - The Who but I'm not 100% sure Bridge Pickup: The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy

[@WExALLxSHINExONx69]

I think it's Walk Idiot Walk - The Hives

[@mattiasjp]

Yes, it’s Walk Idiot Walk by The Hives. It makes me a little bit proud that they are from a small Swedish town close to where I live and grew up, and they get played all around the western world.

[@Honasek]

That's very cool Mattias! A lot of fans of the Hives here in the Czech republic

[@dirkbonesteel]

Ghost Square hammer is a damn good song.. Some one need to kill The Ark and Red Nex

[@WTFDalis]

All Ghost songs are good... ;)

[@jeremiahcresswell2055]

absolute solid sound. this is what I think of when I think old school sound. perfect

[@albertlopez2237]

I like how he shows how it sounds as rhythm guitar. Which is my first test for a guitar if I don't like how it sounds and feels strumming I don't even bother going any further. I

[@micahwinters7021]

#watcheveryday

[@snipermonkey3384]

The fact that he plays walk idiot walk - The Hives, is legendary

[@ditto1958]

I'm surprised those guitars aren't more popular. That one rocks.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

1.Jimmy Eat World "The Middle" 2.The Hives "Walk Idiot Walk" 3.Thin Lizzy "The Boys Are Back In Town" That's a nifty lil twanger!

[@Sabres73]

I mean, I’m happy that the boys are back and down at Dino’s, but where have they been all this time? Why did they leave?

[@stephencuthbertson8231]

1. The Middle - Jimmy Eat World 2. hate to say i told you so - The Hives 3. The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy

[@jeff1586er]

Epiphone's rule. Love the mini hums.

[@strangedean]

Interesting guitar, never seen one of those before but I'm relatively new to understanding the diversity of guitars. this GOTD thing is a proper learning curve, thanks.

[@Diiwiin99]

I really love that he played the hives

[@gr8fuljon]

FINALLY!!!!!!!! CRESTWOOD CUSTOM!!!!! THANK YOU MARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nikosk.8216]

Old Epiphones (before 1963) = COOLEST THINGS EVER!!!!!!!!!😎😰💪🎸

[@BillySRedfield]

Great to see some love for the old Epiphones! If you guys come across an old Wilshire at some point, please share it! Cheers!

[@barrymckinley5330]

BillySRedfield , a buddy's got one for sale, 60's. Was asking $400., he put it to a chat room, people clued him in, he's still under a grand, but I can't swing it.

[@thomasrichmond601]

Epi’s still rock, had one, 2007 custom 74 LP. But when I was eleven I had a twelve string like this. Thanks ✌️byeeeeee

[@trannusaran6164]

Yes, variety! :) Maybe a Hagström if you get your hands on one? Metal neck Kramer?

[@keith580]

Wasn't sure about it from the way it looks but my god that guitar has tone to die for

[@mistyrabka3651]

very cool 60s epi vibe today

[@squareyes1981]

Very characterful in the middle and bridge positions

[@foxyfrench3857]

Humble Pie's Steve Marriot played a guitar like this but with a P90 in the late sixties. Grat play Mark. Thank you for GOTD.

[@golfandvinyl]

SWEET!! I just love your playin Mark.

[@anthonynonya]

Never heard of an Epi Crestwood, cool! Thanks again for another great addition to my day.

[@picklesdxaztur312]

cheers for the hives song. been almost a decade since i listened to that one!

[@Smagledorf]

Whoa! An out of nowhere, rare guitar which not a lot of people have ever seen before. You know what also matches that description? That's right a Maton! Gotta do a Maton!

[@bobsteel6916]

Mark, congratulations on 450 something videos and you're still rocking. I like that guitar, the neck pickup doesn't really sound like a neck pickup, I love the tonal possibilities awesome.

[@saintbrando]

Epiphone Guitars are beautiful. Great demo Mark. Keep them coming! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@johneason6540]

Love guitar of the day program.

[@fjpd8702]

I guess I fell in love with that wooden piece of heaven!

[@lfr30043]

Mark you surprise me with all the songs you know. Nice

[@kylegriffin3778]

That vacuum was sounding pretty clean.

[@jonnylons1]

Even before pressing “play” I was braced to hear about another “crazy week”!

[@tomjohn2649]

Now that’s more like it. A guitar you don’t really see a lot of. I may be weird but I’d take that over a Paul or Strat any day. Fun to see something different.

[@asorite]

Been watching this everyday! I wish I can play like ypu Mark! Ypu are an inspiration for me to pick up the guitar again! Thanks gor the content!

[@AGore88]

Missed opportunity to play "the middle" on the middle pickup configuration!!! Haha great video as always, highlight of the day for me!

[@davidallen346]

Those vintage pickups sounds way better than any Gibson P90s or newer version mini humbuckers, the tone is Magic !

[@tdchagas02]

Give us more THIN LIZZY, Mr Agnesi! You're a great player. Cheers from Rio de Janeiro.

[@thomasnettleton289]

Great, unique sound. Give me an Epiphone any day.

[@thebeatmonkey2287]

I knew I was in for a good night when I popped open a cold Kuges and saw that EpiGibby in the thumbnail. Take me to the tone zone

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy No THUMPIN' Thursday everyone. It's a EPICgibby! With MINIs Once again Mark, #ROBINTROWERSTRATURDAY! PLEEEEEEEEEESE!

[@super_guitar_dude7954]

Sounds stellar

[@benallmark9671]

They have a re issue out this year , I don’t know if it’s a re issue but it’s a custom and looks a lot like this one. It does have the big E on it amd it’s fucking awesome. It’s sold res in colour though not that beautiful mahogany. We wish it was though.

[@saint6563]

'warm' w/ 'bite' WoW

[@lalametall1705]

Love the thin lizzy song.... awesome man, I am a huge fan of epis, mostly japanese ones... and washburn guitars.

[@diegocraigdallie]

Daaaaamn, I didn't expected that one 😮 amazing

[@brunoaqui9785]

What a sound!!!!

[@benallmark9671]

The Thin Lizzie was epic !

[@jamesjohnson5333]

Love the Eppis they are great guitars thanks Mark

[@TheRockyhockey007]

[@andykinser9226]

Bassists are people too Mark, still love GOTD regardless. Rock on my man!

[@lauramoore9659]

It takes some time ! The BOYS are Back ! The BOYS are BACK !

[@stinkybojangles4128]

Love me an Epiphone!!

[@blkjakk]

The boys are back in town! I have a friend (fellow in his 80’s) who is wanting to sell a couple of his very old guitars that he bought new back in the day. He needs to contact you guys or Gruhn’s in Nashville.

[@douglasbroberg6456]

Please do more Epiphone solid body gits!

[@johnfritzenjr.1240]

Sounds amazing

[@FenderMan]

Killer guitar!! Rad to the bone

[@noseyparker6622]

Lots of lovely Bokeh from Jen while you were playing this episode.

[@winthermolina6178]

Finally! This is the stuff!!! It'd be awesome a week, just a week with no teles, no strats, no ES-3XX's, and if #thumpinthursday, No P or Jazz Basses. Just 1 week with really weird stuff! Think about it guys

[@danielotero8281]

Im officially in love

[@anthonykueber6098]

Jen, the Epiphone or Mark?

[@anthonykueber6098]

...the guy running the vacuum?

[@davidallen346]

That's a sweet looking guitar killer tone as well, great buy !

[@slickharp]

Rad guitar, rad sound

[@guitarocd9984]

I always wanted a Crestwood

[@tangoalfa1970]

Wow I just watched the video on the black slab Cornet today to.

[@TheBigwillistyle]

That sounded real cool!

[@NiqScott]

It's my birthday on Monday 26th when there isn't a GotD, and I was born in '62 (and I'm a massive Lizzy fan), so I'm going to pretend this was for me This might be one of the few guitars from my year of birth that I can both afford and would want to own.

[@williambaker5318]

Nice rig, love the mini hums.

[@briano.5746]

I want it ! Yeah I'm an Epiphone geek , what can I say . PEACE !!!

[@justinlarsen2281]

The sound of Radio Birdman!

[@voiceofexperience]

Yep. Deniz Tek.

[@griffinm4224]

For all the squares complaining about the strats and les pauls....

[@winthermolina6178]

Griffin M teles

[@TheTrollMastah]

I was the 1,000th like lol. All I wanna say is.. I wish Gibson USA/CS would release this guitar with a nitro finish. I would probably get 2 :)

[@voiceofexperience]

"Gibson Inspired by Epiphone"?

[@TheTrollMastah]

@@voiceofexperience What?? Gibson owns Epiphone and makes a few of their models here in the US. I’m saying if they made this model in the US with a nitro finish I’d probably get one or two.

[@philg6757]

Great sound coming out of that.

[@chadmoran5545]

I’m not going to make anything up or pretend it’s my birthday but could you do me a solid and play some Jason Isbell tomorrow for flat top Friday. Would love to hear your thoughts on his music too. He’s my favorite singer songwriter right now and has been for a long time. Love his lyrics and can play the hell out of a guitar.

[@premebackwood]

Do a rickenbacker or moserite next :)

[@andrewpappas9311]

Snakewarp12 I wish they would do some more Rick guitars

[@chuckmastrog3561]

I was about to ask for more epaphones. Love that shit!!!

[@copierguy1961A]

Nice Epiphone, very cool 😎

[@stanleysdad]

That's a really cool guitar, bridge pickup almost sounds like a filtertron

[@karag65]

Hey Mark and Jen, my 19th birthday is on Monday. You should play some rush on Tuesday!

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it.

[@michaelrussell146]

Mr.Stranger DU.......... OH wait. Mikey where you at bro?

[@GuitarExpress]

I still remember that day you did a Jackson :) Any chance you make another one soon?

[@Hillcapper1]

I’ve never seen one of those, nice!

[@PDInfantryman]

That's pretty PAFin' sweet, man. Nothing like shot of Epi to get ya going....

[@BRUH10155]

OH MY GOD I SCREAMED WHEN HE PLAYED IN THE MIDDLE!

[@35trudelle]

Love the 7:31 camera angle Jen!

[@fenderjazz6213]

Starting to? It's already done!!!!!!

[@hughjarreolee7821]

Cool guitar

[@darrellstaples7011]

My day is complete. 😊hi jen.😊.

[@vincentbonelli]

Hi Mr. Agnesi! My name is Vincent Bonelli. I watch guitar of the day all of the time. My birthday is next Tuesday, February 20th. I am turning 15. I was wondering if you could give me a shout out on Tele Tuesday and play Perfectly Lonely by John Mayer, as he uses a Tele on that song?

[@ikefork2606]

In the back warehouse area, Mark states that this guitar is the Epiphone "equivalent" of Gibson's Les Paul Special. I have to disagree. To my thinking it has more in common with the Gibson SG Standard of the period w/ tune-o-matic bridge, virbrola, hum bucking pickups, large fingerboard inlays, etc.

[@babayaga1767]

nice esoteric guitar
