Norman's Rare Guitars - Guitar of the Day: 1974 Gibson 20th Anniversary Les Paul Custom

[@Bodyknowledge77]

1 Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads " I Don't Know" 2."Goodbye To Romance" 3. "Crazy Train" Randy was/is a dandy! Thanks Les and M.A(etc)!

[@fenderjazz6213]

Bodyknowledge 77...you know BK, this no bass shit is gettin kind of old. He can't even do one fuckin bass a week. One out of five , that's it. Don't get me wrong, I love old guitars, they're beautiful. But I like basses a little more. For all I care he can shove that fuckin LP up his ass. Sorry no neg towards you.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Fender jazz 62 its looking like a lack of thumpers might lead to a thumping from you, and those of your end...

[@fenderjazz6213]

Bodyknowledge 77 I hope so.

[@mikeymojo8299]

Fender jazz 62 ah man FJ. it is Norms Rare GUITARS 😂😂😂

[@fenderjazz6213]

......Bass guitar......

Being taught by Randy Rhoads, his first guitar was a 74 alpine white guitar, it stained over time with playing in clubs. The guys got together to buy it for Randy from guitar center Hollywood, when they started making money he got more guitars , his had blond tune knobs and and blond switch , with humbuckers gold plated. Now her s what people get confused, in 1972 he went to go see Bowie in Santa Monica, who he saw on stage but of course mick playing a 1972 les Paul , get the picture? Any more info contact me or I can direct you to his sister, thanks again guys.. ✌️

[@Adamnme01]

Cheers for the info dude

[@2010deanML]

Heeyy I remember you from Patti Quatro's group. Nice to see you again!

Happy (non)THUMPIN' Thursday! The long awaited all Randy Rhoads edition! Rest easy Randy, we miss ya!

[@basedury]

Absolutely nailed that crazy train riff. Killer! 🤘

[@MrEddie-ml6wm]

My grandma bought one of these for my sister who had 2 lessons under her belt before getting this. Now I own it. Has very few hours 4-5 he's of playing but was well maintained. Mine is a little whiter I assume because it was rarely out of the case. Original case and had the original strings until about 1992. It's beautiful.

[@frontline205]

You still got it?

[@jeffgualandijr9420]

freakin stupid clean, sharp and clear. what a beauty.

[@moparbryan]

Nicely done Mark! Romance is one of my favorite songs to hear played solo like that it’s a really cool tune all by itself

[@ronn4238]

I've always had a soft spot for the white LP Customs. That one is gorgeous!

[@MatzaFTW]

When Mark plays Randy, I’m happy. I was more than satisfied today.

[@J.Burrough]

GOTD is really something special in so many ways. It’s great to be a spectator as it happens. Thanks you all.✌🏻🎸🤘🏻

[@billstanton4791]

Hearing these tunes makes me feel like I'm in high school again. We wore that album out.

[@kevinvoisine1922]

Never miss an episode. Thanks Mark and Jen! Byeeei!

[@DiscountSeanConnery]

KILLED IT on Crazy Train! Good job Mark!

[@acrap56]

Always look forward to "Guitar of the Day" but am usually streaming to the TV so can never comment. You guys do a great job! Love Jen and you sir are one "kick ass" guitarist!

[@jamesjohnson5333]

I could listen to that all day nice job today Mark way to strut your stuff. That guitar begs to be played like that wow just wow

Actually, Mark, you are a guitar historian and I appreciate that. That's why I subscribe.

@@davidallen346 your very observant , I guess you didn’t notice when I first made the comment? Got any other negative comments you care to say??

@@thomasrichmond601 Of course I noticed the original date of your comment that's why I made the comment knowing no one would reply therefore I didn't think you'd reply but why is it negative ? There was someone pretend to be Mark Agnesi when Norman had a live broadcast last month guess you didn't get the joke.

[@thomasrichmond601]

@@davidallen346 no I didn’t get the joke, I figured since Mark left for Gibson to provide more for his new kid that there was some animosity from some people who didn’t want him to leave.

Beautiful Gibson custom! Metal fckn rules forever!!

[@lucasspillman7742]

Killer Mark!! Crazy train is the first song i REALLY learned note for note. Awesome gotd!!! Hi Jen

[@michaelrussell146]

WOW. looking through the comments today and fender jazz 62 is REALLY pissed. I did enjoy today's episode, blizzard of oz is one of my favorite albums. But I also understand that the bass guys probably look forward to Thursday and get disappointed when it's just another Les Paul. (not just another LP) At least give them their 1 day Mark.

[@rjs2104]

My fav episode M.A. great guitar great song list 🎸🎸🎸

[@mikeymojo8299]

Ralph S. yeah Ralphie boy, Randy 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@fluroflash2803]

Another great week dictated by a Thursday. Awesome guitar \m/

[@tradeka4206]

That thing sounds great

[@thisbusinessofmusic1276]

I bought mine in June of 74. Mine is one of the ones that didnt have the 20th anniversary inlay. Cost me $650 Canadian with the case brand new.

[@leebraly3904]

Cool. Great performance. Thanks for sharing.

[@justintierno]

Hi Mark. Big fan of the show. My 22nd birthday is coming up on Monday the 20th and all I'd like is a quick shoutout and maybe some SRV riffs as he is my all time favorite guitarist. Thanks for everything.

[@garrickmcgowan9022]

Awesome dude on the 400th will be tuning in like always you guys are great hopefully one day I can get down to Norman's rare guitars with the misses and check you guys out I'm guitar player myself and I love a good guitar in my hand

[@MikeyNewman1974]

Love the 70's white customs, and it's my year of birth guitar!!!

[@aaaargl]

Loved the change up on the amps.. finally some plexi love

[@brettgraham8914]

Finally some metal. Thanks Mark 🙂 RIP a legend. Wish i could of seen him live but i wasnt born yet then. Maybe we can get some Zakk Wylde soon 😉

[@jonviol]

Far out again man ! Jen is beautiful and giggles a million dollar giggles. Wearing a frock tomorrow at the 400th would be real groovy in the mists . XXX

You should do a Music Man (pre-Ernie Ball).

That's if they can find one for sale

Yes, that guitar is stunning and you are a rock star Mr. Agnesi.

[@tezotezo8532]

Fantastic👍👍👍👍 even though I have this same guitar , every time I see one played I just yeaaaaaa That distinctive t top sound 👍👍👍👍👍👍😎

[@timaustin8721]

My grandmother loved the Rolling Stones and she told me stories about going to see them when see was young. She passed away last night and I was hoping you could play a song for me and her on a GOTD? Her name was Barbra and the Greatest lady I have ever known and I think she would love that.

[@zachg7356]

Sorry to hear that man

[@timaustin8721]

Thanks Zach G!

[@JetAV8]

Man, to me, that is just THE sound.

[@vikingmog]

Ahh nice to hear some metal in guitar of the day.

[@andrewkmak5722]

Hey guys, im having surgery tomorrow, and was wondering if you could play some clapton or pink floyd for straturday? It'd be awesome since I'll be off work for a week. Thanks in advance guys!

[@garrettohmie]

awesome guitar!! awesome sound!! & awesome playing!! I really liked this Amp. But the Hot Rod Deville just doesn't sound all that great. If possible please use this amp more often for Guitar of the day. (just my opinion).

[@pabdiary]

Sounds fantastic !

[@josysteinbach4097]

what a beautiful guitar and sound great too 🐸🇫🇷👍🏻🇮🇪

[@rodmcdonough2832]

Good playing there!

[@OdinHammersmith]

Thank you for playing goodbye to romance 😭

[@copierguy1961A]

Awesome set!!!

[@kentbeery8653]

nice playing Mark

[@Bluesharpman2002]

Though Randy played a 74, it was not a 20th Anniversary model. Also, I was there the day he received the guitar as a gift from their first manager Dennis who had a plumbing business, built a rehearsal studio in his garage and largely funded Quiet Riot's early efforts. I shot hours of club footage in the '70s for the boys, here's Randy giving a clinic one night in Hollywood at The Whisky. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2WwfIiBrahpfbs

[@super_guitar_dude7954]

That sounds fucking great mark, good job

[@MilitaryAIWorks100]

Makes my day when you skip Thumpin Thursday!

[@eatmagnumrevolver3048]

I bought one new in 74' some facts to correct, first the 20th anniversary inlay is on the 15th fret not the 12th as stated, the AMF "Bowling Ball" Nowlin Gibson BODY was made with FIVE SEPARATE pieces of wood NOT FOUR (2) pieces of body wood (1) laminate filler piece of either maple or walnut with (2) SEPARATE pieces Maple top - 5 piece body The neck was constructed with (3) SEPARATE pieces of wood, if you count the "ears" that are glued on to Les Paul's and most all other Gibson headstocks you will count these as (5) piece necks Also, when these were released I never saw any other 20th that wasn't white, if they made them I never saw one. Because of the multiple pieces of scrap wood assembly, mine weighed just under 14 pounds! The "volute neck support" was really an attempt to stabilize the neck from wanting to "turn and twist" in different ways due the 3 SEPARATE pieces of wood responding differently to temperature and humidity conditions. It saddens me to see Dealers and Individual sellers "pushing up" pricing on these AMF Nowlin era Gibson guitars as If they WERE and or ARE true vintage guitars, THEY ARE NOT, these guitars of this AMF Nowlin era are the WORST PRODUCTS OF ALL GIBSON'S EVER MADE They were made with "scrap wood" construction (hence all the smaller thinner pieces of wood) AMF Nowlin wanted to suck as much profit from Gibson as possible, shame they ruined the company during this period These ARE NOT VINTAGE GIBSON GUITARS, these are "re-issues" of real Vintage Gibson's, they are just OLDER GIBSON'S...NOT VINTAGE, don't be a sap and fall for this scam, at some point the jig will be up and the market will get corrected, but until it does, BEWARE!

[@dominicbarrera2450]

randy was the goat in my humble opinion

[@LilSirAxolotl]

Mark please play the Martin Tenor Guitar you have in the store... It's something different and I'm curious

was waiting to hear that solo on the last song :P

[@andymackenzie7631]

Question - 1974 is the 20th anniversary yet my gold custom shop LP Custom 50th anniversary model (has solid mahogany body, ebony board with large blocks, a gold metal headstock overlay plate with engraved super 400 split diamond) was a limited run from 2007. What happened to the extra three years? Thanks

[@BazzarLazar]

All Aboard !!!! WHOOOT WHOOOT !!!!

[@badbarky]

That’s totally a James Dean Bradfield guitar from Manic Street Preachers. If you were Welsh you’d have played Slash and Burn.

[@adddrian100]

Hi Mark & Jen! My 19th birthday is this saturday (it really is!) gonna be jammin with the boys and all, but could you do some Led Zepplin/Green Day for this Straturday? Would make my day:) Keep beeing awesome

[@richmills1]

that's a lovely guitar. Crazy Train every week, please!

[@dellboitheviker9696]

Can I just put this on direct debit for like the rest of my life? 😂 Absolute dream guitar!

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

I never understood wanting taller frets. My dad’s 1970 Les Paul Custom had the “wonderless” frets. He did bends with no problem. Unfortunately, it went to crap a few years ago. I sent it to Gibson and they replaced those great frets with medium jumbos. 😮 Plus, the bridge was collapsed. So they replaced that….and didn’t cut the high E slot correctly. Now, if you’re not careful, you can slide off the fretboard. That wasn’t a problem before. Yeah, it’s back to playing shape….but not like it was.

[@slapshot0417]

Yea my uncle just got a 72 Les Paul deluxe and it's got a broken head stock but it can hold a fucking note though love those mini humbuckers

[@eduardoenmanuel]

I have never seen you play this awesome!

[@paulstanley3019]
