[@prestonmoore6120]

Fuck, I thought this was a joke

[@dropoutjohn]

João Vitor Brandão 😂

[@mickclark7558]

Get well Erick!!!

[@joebodynobody764]

Ok, "weird-es wednesday" I can dug it. #fuckcancer

[@S-T-E-V-E]

No weird ass WednESday

[@jam00723]

The black binding is pretty rad.

[@thomasrichmond601]

Thanks for the shot out Mark, Jen love you too lol .. a guitar I’ve never seen before wow! 😳

[@jimbonacum8917]

Wow I've never seen one of those before! I was somewhat surprised that they did not seem to be overly trebly which I normally expect from a single coil. I had a friend with a Melody Maker but that was more than 40 years ago and I don't really remember much about how it sounded. Getting to see crazy new stuff like this is why I love guitar of the day!

[@crusherbmx]

The Cure was not expected, keep it up!

[@FuriousMess]

Possibly the best video you've made Mark. Awesome playing and displaying that guitar. Great video Jen (-;

[@billyrossi4661]

Eric get well soon. I will light a candle for you tonight.

[@lexh.7034]

I had the great privilege of purchasing one of these rare gems. Cherry finish, double-switches, embossed pickups. Tuners were swapped but I still have the originals. It is also missing the bridge cover like several I've seen listed online. It's a fun guitar to play for certain types of music. However, it is not suitable for high-gain applications. The single coils lose their luster and become scratchy and obnoxious like a swarm of bees just awoke inside the guitar. As you heard in the video it has nice tone for several applications. Amazing guitar. Looks like the owner also swapped the bridge out along with the switches. Thanks for the video everyone. The ES-320 is truly a rare piece of Gibson history.

[@bsherbine]

Thanks Mark and Jen. I watch these every day. 🤘

[@andrewpappas9311]

Neck Pickup: Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon Middle Pickup: Boys Don't Cry - The Cure Bridge Pickup: Don't know I have literally never heard of this guitar, like what the hell is that..? It still sounds kinda cool though, I'll give it that

[@jakerose677]

Last song is Somebody Told Me- Killers

[@andrewpappas9311]

Jake Rose Dammit, I didn't recognize it at first

[@gusdupree2508]

Aunt bee ,oh ,Andy

[@ivetoldyouonce]

Nice and clean! Tomorrow is my wife Randi and my 10th Anniversary. No shout out requested. I'm a bass guy but love watching guitar of the day.

[@gusdupree2508]

Ronald Greene a decade nowadays is like a century , nothing to sneeze at ,right on

[@anthonybuford4477]

Your a good dude Mark. I know those shout outs are a pain. But you do em anyway. Such good people in music. That's why I watch. Thanks

[@morecowbell3659]

Clay’s birthday is tomorrow Clay doesn’t ask for shoutouts Clay is smart Be like Clay

[@jamesreaves5534]

Peace, Love & Light to Eric Sumpter. God Bless You and Your Family from the Reaves Family, Jimmy, Jennifer & Verne in NC....

[@Blankishish]

By far my favorite guitar I've seen on this show so far! SUPER COOL

[@photopicker]

That guitar has to be totally rare. It has the hardware of the SG 100, 200, and 250. I bought a 250 in 1972. It was my first Gibson electric. I've had 2 or 3 SG 250 since. I tend to buy guitars, restore them, and sell them for a loss.

[@TheDude4077]

The Cure and the Killers! Mark's setting my little emo heart a-flutter today!

[@lauramoore9659]

Thanks for the Melodic Memories!!!

[@lilstinker1949]

Damn those single coils sound fierce

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

Yes! I knew you could do it, Mark! This makes me extra happy to see a Weird-ASS ES on Wednesday! And the guitar sounds amazing! :D

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

¡¡ NEVER SEEN THIS MODEL !! SO LET'S HEAR IT NOW MARK IT'S SO MUDDY MAN MUDDY WHAT CAN YOU SAY BOUT IT NOT MUCH USEABLE TONE ?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!? THE BRIDGE P UP IS BETTER LIKE A 1964 GUILD STARFIRE THE GIBSON CRUDMASTER CARLOS GUITARLOS USA HIGHLAND PARK L.A.90042

[@EvilHomer1973]

I caught that too

[@NelsonGago]

Fail 😂

[@JKM395]

Man that’s cool! Thanks Mark and Jen.

[@curesobull8187]

Hey Mike..... Can I get a shout out. I am Guitar of the Day's biggest fan all the from Namibia, Africa. Been watching every single show everyday.... Rock on!!!

[@moritzprivat7325]

This is so rad dude.... And get well soon Eric #ALLCAPSFORERIC

[@Smagledorf]

Man loving the ES Wednesdays but you know what is just as good? A Maton! Gotta do a Maton!

[@XLBiker13]

Great Weird Ass Wednesday. Never even heard of an ES-320. Loved it and great song choices. And feel free to do more shoutout-free days. Save them for when it really matters.

[@juancordoba7040]

I wish you guys do a Gibson 325 someday!!!

[@frankxuereb5422]

Mark, thanks for doing these every day man, you are the shit bro.

[@davidcampbell4174]

Hard to believe this guitar is 45 years old. Looks brand new.

[@gusdupree2508]

David Campbell it's 46

[@daves.2111]

We’re in the back room of Norman’s Rare Guitars. Welcome back to another day of Guitar Of The Day. It’s Thumpin’ Thursday. Remember that ES 320 from Weird Ass WednESday... yeah, it’s out of here. Sold it.

[@colindamo]

Very awesome guitar of the day Mark and Jen! I believe that guitar is the one that guitarist John Fahey used in his later years when he went electric.Once again you guys have educated me on some really rare guitars!!!

[@tiborrisko7349]

Shout out to Erik! Get better bro! Sending you good vibes from Hungary!

[@thomasnettleton289]

Episode 486. I like it. Didn't know these existed.

[@greensombrero3641]

ERIC! wishing you the best!

[@robertscottpurse1]

Mark, you could change GOTD into ES GOTD every day of the week and I would love this show even more.

[@saintbrando]

72 Gibson ES-330 TD great Demo Mark. #MGGA #weirdasswednesday cheers! 🤘🏻🎸🔥⚡️🍻

[@ElkoSkate]

this is actually the first guitar on this show that I am considering going into debt for.

[@StephenNaveed]

Eric Sumpter feel better bro! What a cool guitar! Definitely an oddball.

[@davidkieltyka9]

Hmmm, the electronics & hardware from an SG-200/250 (same time period) in a semi. I love those MM pickups.

[@tomjohn3364]

That's a winner. Its an ES and a weird ass machine. I have one the cool things about being my age and being around guitars you get to a little of everything. Its been years since I last saw one of those it was maple as well. But had the two slider switches on it. I noticed right away. Vox vox

[@Cjcj_1214]

Kinda reminds me of my Kay Jimmy Reed thin twin, year like 1958 or 60 something. Correct me? Lipstick sounding?

[@Flamewalk]

In my humble opinion, single-coils always sound fantastic on a hollowbody. Best of two worlds - biting & glassy tone and smooth feel of a medium scale. I would definitely love to have this one. Oh, and the "Gibson" logo looks great on a light-coloured headstock, btw:)

[@greensombrero3641]

I love that guitar. Really cool. I have a 78 RD standard, pretty weird. Bought it for 100 bucks in 1981

[@robertm8552]

This was a damn awesome Guitar of the Day

[@skelecaster]

I ve owned one in cherry red for almost 40 years. Probably going up for sale before too long. Not sure if Mark mentioned it but that one is missing the bridge cover.

[@adamstoutjesdyk3923]

I am sooo into this one 😍

[@johnfrederick6164]

Killer songs! Killer guitar! Totally dig it!

[@jvbo]

Friendly suggestion: how about moving shoutouts to the end of video? Probably would make both sides happy. Win win!

[@anthonykueber6098]

Or shoutouts could be moved to a different area code or possibly another country completely... (do you suppose those Andertons folks would be interested?)

[@jimmyeatsword6421]

Or just skip the beginning of the video

[@unicorneggspam]

I love this one! The perfect weird ass wednESday guitar!

[@mikehabic6314]

I dunno.....It's kinda like E.T........In which he's so ugly that he's cute. There's something about this that I think is gorgeous. I've never owned a hollow-body, but could SO see me playing this. I'd like to hear it through a tweed....I'm incredibly curious about the tone of it....

[@gusdupree2508]

Mike Habic well it just that Mark is about to play...

[@mikehabic6314]

gus dupree Yeah......My 'brilliant' @ss had paused the video to make my comment, and when I posted it, I exited out of youtube with the errant thought I'd watched the whole thing. I did it totally sober, too. That's the sad thing.

[@diegocraigdallie]

Beautiful guitar, I've seen pictures only, thought it was amazing and I guess it is

[@Chrispy_tV]

Cool guitar. The neck pick up was surprisingly THICK. The bridge however sounded like ICE PICKY HOT GARBAGE. Blonde Finish over maple is always rad though. Thanks guys!!! Byeeee 🎸🔥🎸🔥

[@stuartberke5845]

I had one of these. Very rare. You never see them. It was affordable, so I was able to get one.

[@ricmcusa]

I know this is a year old. But the bridge cover is missing. And they came with plastic bridge saddles originally. Wish i could find some bridge saddles for mine.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

This Gibby is unusual not weird? Says Capt Notsoobvious..:-) 1.Kings Of Leon "Use Somebody" 2 The Cure "Boys Don't Cry" sure sometimes..next 3.The Killers "Somebody Told Me" Nice! Till next time...

[@onthe1481]

[@gusdupree2508]

Hey, Mark, how bout you scroll the shout outs along the bottom or at the end like on a movie screen where they play the end credits , comprise is what moves us along

[@timlilly]

Nothing wrong with that. it's a shame it's not still in the catalogue

[@goldwold]

Really dig it. Hope you get better Erick.

[@simonsmith3867]

Not my favourite pick-up tones, by a long way! Still educational and fun, well done Mark & Jen!

[@DietzCE]

Thanks for reminding me, I gotta buy some mustard.

[@stevieklaer9347]

I like the black binding on yellow, its a good look.

[@ericrobertson4965]

Shout out to my dad. He's a 91 year old WWII vet. Today's his birthday.

[@PDInfantryman]

Here's an idea: do the shout-outs at the END of the video. That way I (and many others) can watch the good stuff and opt-out from hearing about the third anniversary of Aunt Tilly's second goiter operation and how much she'd love to hear a Huber banjo in celebration. Please. Stop. Love the 320 though.

[@saml.williams6321]

Ken H just a little FYI you know KZbin gives you the option to skip through the parts of the video you don’t want to watch right? If you don’t like the shoutouts just skip through them cause you definitely don’t have to watch them

[@braderrick]

Sam Williams just as a little FYI KZbin allows you to skip comments you don’t like and you don’t have to respond either lol. Shout outs are terrible! I’m with Ken H.

[@rodder6]

Ken H douche bag

[@arlingtonhynes]

I don’t give a shit about some random stranger’s birthday, but I’m pretty neutral as long as he keeps it to himself. I can’t imagine what kind of a desperate moron you’d have to be to want someone to read your name in a KZbin video. It’s one of saddest, most pathetic things I’ve ever seen.

[@johnnybravoski7048]

Whaaat? A 72 guitar made in 74 & 75? What sorcery is this?

[@PDInfantryman]

That makes it REALLY weird.

[@gusdupree2508]

It stayed in the warehouse until gibby decided to release it ,fun fact

[@Detdriterveljegi]

Best sounding single coils out there. My 1964 MM is my main morningstar.

[@krongoblin2703]

Hey Eric get well soon

[@jackk9366]

The control plate on that looks cool. Plus, I bet it would make pickup swaps easier then on a 335.

[@JamesWalshBristolKids]

Hey Mark could you explain the diff between the Epiphone Casino John Lennon played on the Rooftop of Apple Corps on "Get Back" and this Gibson ES-330 ?

[@paulstanley3019]

Mark always comes thru on Wednesday. That black binding w/ that finish so 70's. Proof u could put dog shit pickups in an ES and still sound awesome🤘

[@markwhitelaw7192]

So what year is it? You said they only made from 74-75, but the description says 72... weird, but cool guitar, not sure about that bridge though.

[@thebean7920]

Mark's a really good dude

[@adrianombaumruck6773]

Hey Mike! Say hallo for me! Adriano from Brazil! I loved this freaking Gibson!

[@titok49]

I love shout-outs!!!

[@saml.williams6321]

So how many of you who watch this series religiously know that Mark is not just a Vintage Guitar Enthusiast and a great player but he also writes his own songs and sings? If you ever get jealous of mark and wish you could trade places with him and his life and his job. Keep in mind he basically had to give up all of the potential he could have had as an artist and songwriter and performer to get where he is at in his life right now. He even recorded a whole album of his songs, spent a good chunk of money on it but decided not to release it pretty recently. At that point he realized he couldn’t squeeze in being a songwriter and artist and performer and also be a Dad and store manager of a guitar store at the same time he had to give up three of those things just to do what he is doing right now

[@utenzil]

OH NO HE'S COMBINED THE STREAMS!!

[@ArturBrzozowski444]

Beautiful guitar I bet that it will be sold soon

[@seqouiaflame]

Love that big fat headstock!!

[@fluroflash2803]

Gooooood vibes Eric

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it.

[@fenderjazz6213]

Mr.Stranger ....indubitably......

[@mikeymojo8299]

Fender jazz 62 D U H - G 😂

[@fenderjazz6213]

Mike M. Hey, I thought you would be at work. Playing with your cell phone at work. Boy, that must be a cush job lol. Hey, I'm moving closer to you. While I spent two and a half months in that recovery ward, my wife got a wild hair up.....you know, and sold our house. I'll be in Bradenton Fl. In 3 months. I learned not to leave your wife in charge while away more than a week lol

[@mikeymojo8299]

Fender jazz 62 ah sweet, east coast bound. a mere 2000 miles from me, due south. Congrats!

[@matdemaz]

Love that Ramones shirt. 👍

[@garnetbezanson1404]

It has a pretty raw sound from those single coils. That plus the hollow body must make it feedback like crazy though.

[@scottie777777]

Damn nice guitar. love the rare n unusual. this channel fukin rocks!

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy Weird-Ass WednESday everyone! It's not THAT weird @all. Absolutely love the MM pickups (on a LP)but that bridge gotts 2go!

[@andrewswift2727]

Hi Mark have you should do an old, pre-Gibson Epiphone archtop. It would be a fun change of pace. Keep up the good work!

[@bryanlettow4389]

For some reason during that Kings of Leon song it reminded me of the end of Layla by E.C.

[@bculhane1]

Sounds cool!

[@johnfrederick6164]

One of my favorite cure albums is boys don’t cry

[@GL64]

That thing is awesome!

[@40spinup]

Holy shit that is cool!!

[@toddflowers8052]

W.A.W. ! Really weird and cool !

[@SupernalOne]

it's a little amazing that Gibson even made this one with the carved maple top - why use the best wood for a bottom-of-the-line guitar? But a good gritty sound - and it is loverly

[@TELECAMPER]

It Makes the ultimate pop-rock guitar , to me

[@jaydenstramel562]

Get well soon Eric

[@douglaswalther8489]

The Jacket and Jen with another great gotd.

[@songwriterjj6022]

Get well soon Eric! Or Erik. Or Erich. Just get well!

[@Millenium-Mige]

Would be nice to see a Squier JV Stratocaster one day.
