Jacob Reece Happy and safe holidays to you Jacob , and Mike. You both made this year a good deal better for me, along with BK77 and Ralph S. Peace to all of you guys.

[@mikeymojo8299]

Fender jazz 62 thank you FJ, same sentiments on my side. BK, Reece, Ralphie and a few others on this thread have made 2017 a fun year for guitarists again (thanks to the gang @ NRG and Mark & Jen) for making these cool vids for us. I thought I knew a lot about rare, vintage guitars until I started watching this channel. All great fun, HAPPY& HEALTHY HOLIDAYS TO ALL 🎅🏻🎄🎸

Neck Pickup: Always Alright - Alabama Shakes Middle Pickup: School's Out - Alice Cooper Bridge Pickup: Paranoid - Black Sabbath

[@cuda426hemi]

Thanks Mark, as an SG freak I'm glad you featured a couple early 70's Norlin SGs with harmonica bridge. The other one was the Deluxe w/2 scratchplates, embossed Gibson logo pups (sadly no optional stereo on that one) Note these SGs are LIGHTLY beveled, almost flat on top as opposed to the deeper bevels around horns later. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@joebodynobody764]

I sure hope 2018 might bring us some more oddities. More Dano's, Supro's, possibly a Burns, and my personal favorite..... Goya Rangemaster

[@DevunGames]

Turd Ferguson III didn’t tom morello have a clone of a rangemaster?

[@joebodynobody764]

Weeaboo Trashski he has a "sort of" copy of the somebody version. I'm hoping to one day see Mark play us an original hollowbody Rangemaster. It's got the craziest switching ever.

[@garnetbezanson1404]

Sg is my dream guitar. Sabbath is my favourite band and has helped me through some had times. Not to mention acdc and the doors also fuel my love for these devil horned beasts

[@jamesjohnson5333]

Wow one of favorite guitars and one of my favorite tunes by my favorite band ! This is the best episode ever thanks Mark !

[@spencermisfeldt1866]

I played a 72 Walnut SG with three gold pickups in Portland recently

It's really fitting that he played schools out since I got out of school yesterday for Christmas

[@TommyBNedergaard]

I live in Denmark so i had to get up at 3 in the morning to See the video when it was published. It was SO worth it🤘🤘

[@farbneyonddriven]

Telecasters and SG are my two favorite guitars, no complaints here. That SG is fucking beautiful.

[@Chrispy_tV]

Cool change up with the SG. Variety is always nice. Thanks guys!! Byeeee

[@simonsmith3867]

[@megadethforlife84]

F'n love your playing on this video dude, the first tune with those bluesy parts was great. Thanks Mark!!! Hey Jenn! Merry f'n Christmas and a Happy new year!!!

[@HBSuccess]

Markus - once again you missed an opportunity to instruct the gang about the "long tenon SG" (pre '70) vs. the "short tenon SG" (71-on) . Supposedly this is a huge deal for collectors. The earlier SGs did the neck/body joint differently - the space between the horns was body so the shaped part of the neck was shorter, and the neck tenon longer. By '71/2 that ratio was flip-flopped with the neck joint happening farther down the body - so more neck, less body (and a shorter neck tenon). The overall neck blank is the same length (or close) in both cases- but the body blank is 2-3" shorter with this version, and no doubt saved Gibson some $$$. A lot of people diss these SGs but I like them better - I think they actually sound better (and I've owned both eras) The Neck pickup is right up against the fretboard where it should be (earlier models had that crappy filler plate) -but even more importantly the pickups are farther apart - so you have more tonal variation and some 'experts' say a better location in terms of the overtones. The "harmonica bridge" is by Schaller (sp?) I believe - at least that's what I've always been told. I like that better too - more saddle travel for better intonation. SGs of this era were notorious for "wrong neck angle" - you'll see guys have to load the strings OVER the stop tailpiece so they don't rub the back of the bridge. I have the 2-PUP version of the '72.. swapped the stock HB's for 4-wire DiMarzios and added a phase switch - so I get sort-of the same middle position sound as the 3-PUP version. Cheers!

[@cl8on74]

Tioga Fretworks I have a few SG's too, I always wondered about the different neck/body joint. Also the headstock angle too?

[@papasmamas1]

Dreamy guitar.

[@moonatic2u]

73 owner here. Great video

[@gerberbernstein7360]

I could spend a month in there, playing all those guitars !!

[@xJaGG3d]

Hey Mark! My name is Chris and my birthday is next Thursday (28th), so I would love to see you play a nice maple-fretboard strat with a little bit of christmas jazz! Love the show as always :)

[@Smart-Alex]

Out of phase “quack” made popular by Peter Green! My 2016 Les Paul goes out of phase in the middle toggle setting with knob pulled out.

[@anthonyc1883]

Man, he had me going with the "death of your brother, Hans" comment. I wuz fished-in!

[@tomjohn3364]

SG always a favorite of mine. Will 2018 be the year we see a Vox offering for GOTD????

[@darrellstaples7011]

AWESOME Mark.👍 Hi jen.😊

[@imannonymous7707]

always alright.bro....perfect

[@theWhoRock91]

I always wish Mark would break into the solos after playing the chorus in certain songs, I was so hoping for the Paranoid solo...

[@maxmustardman298]

they'd need a second dude (or girl) to play rythm or the bass part

[@theamfrequencymusic]

I love the way Jen said “poop” at the beginning lol

[@jhhicks]

YES! Die Hard reference! 10/10

[@billyrossi4661]

[@ssb3556]

[@lukejacko888]

[@theuglytomato4654]

Hey Mark! my bday is coming next week on the 31st, so for Thumpin Thursday could you do a Gibson Ripper and play some punk tunes, please?

[@raphaelgrovers1111]

Accept was an awesome 80s metal band.

[@mello__fello]

It's truly been a while since we've seen a poopy brown guitar on the show.

[@stinkybojangles4128]

Hell yeah!! Sabbath on an SG!!! Next do a Jackson or a V!! \m/

[@patrickjaroch5084]

i got the die hard joke, and even laughed before you had to explain it. well done

[@evanmurphy6018]

My birthday is this Friday! I would love it if you did some chili peppers!

[@mdotn9]

Oh well. Happy Birthday to me!!

[@revelry1969]

Sounds killer

[@msmoniz]

Come on Mark! Pat DiNizio and The Smithereens! Pay some tribute to one of the great American power pop songwriter/ band! #RIPPatDiNizio

[@RockHardRiffs]

Why does it feel like everyone is staring at me?? Because I'm PARANOID!!! Rock On!

[@lilstinker1949]

Rock Hard Riffs cringe

[@RockHardRiffs]

sorry Burt

[@topopops]

Any old sleeper jazz guitars, epiphone?

[@michaelmerritt1722]

Nice Paranoid Mark! Byeee Jen!

[@vlady8me]

Lets see a modern marvel, the 1987 Gibson Les Paul Custom Lite!

[@frankb5728]

Bridge is where it's at

[@chicktapus463]

Oh hey, The Relic Coat™ is back

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

My 66 Guild Starfire has volute neck.. back in the day, the story was it largely ends headstock breaking off... Gibson should have kept it. This one would be about perfect with a brighter hot Alnico 5 in the bridge position.

[@adamconstantine1984]

Yeah Jack White definitely deserves to be talked about and have at least one of his songs on this show

[@vanceem69]

has he ever done a cij buck owens?

[@gerrys4593]

Oh yeah🤘

[@willslaughterguitar]

Do you have a Gibson byrdland for a video?

[@Michael-nq6ti]

You guys forgot about the pickups they used in the 70s for gibson the tar backs

[@chrisadams1063]

That is just like the Gibson SG that my mom got me when I was 3 years old guitar guitar case and amp everything to start I'm literally my first note I ever found on my own without any instruction what's the bar chord 2 Days Later it just hit me the D chord

[@w13rdguy]

That first one started off like Johnny Cash, it was nice.

[@Oscarutabaga]

you should do an sg 90d

[@FallingInLine]

Im with Turd Fergie on this one. Some Dannys and Supros would be nice. I love Gibson and Fender but damn every guitar you do seems like one of those two. Happy New Year Fucko

[@mitchellhughes5180]

How do they pick the guitar for guitar of the day? Is it just the most expensive/rare ones in stock? I mean, I can see teles in the background so obviously they're not out of telecasters. Just wondering.

[@wingracer1614]

They are never out of Tele's. They are just out of particularly interesting ones that we haven't already seen a version of a dozen times before. Why show yet another ordinary, everyday 70s or 80s player grade Tele when you have a cool SG you could do?

[@idleave]

What a funny lookin tele! 🤔

[@mohdAkeed]

What pickups are on this beauty?

[@widowmakerheartattack5212]

Had this and it blew away my 69 gold top.

[@40spinup]

Isn’t Paranoid banned in music shops. Not sure with Customs I like the gold especially on 💩 brown walnut. Someone will love it though.

[@heyitsDevriss]

Hey Mark, its my birthday friday! Do you think you could play some white stripes?

[@danieldecrosta9762]

That is one sweet ass guitar

[@PDInfantryman]

Wow...Alice Cooper AND Sabbath in one sitting? I nearly SG'ed myself. Which matches the poopie-brown finish.

[@harry9392]

Great in put of die hard

[@tonymontoya8718]

do a wierd guitar on wednesday a cool bass on thursday a nylon string on friday and a superstrat on saturday

[@tannerburlile6756]
