[@wanderingsurf2842]

nbmike65 nicely done!

[@trevorthomason2077]

nbmike65 the version mark played was Brian setzer 's version

[@nbmike65]

Trevor Thomason Brian Setzers band in the 80s was the Stray Cats.

[@trevorthomason2077]

I know but that was the version mark was play in on this guitar

[@jackd.ripper7613]

I have a 'friend of a friend' whose elderly dad has a '49 ES-175 and an older Les Paul Black Beauty, but I don't remember the year. I got to play the ES. Had a single P-90 and a real hollowbody. You couldn't go near the amp or you'd get feedback. All original. He said he bought it in 1958 or so in a pawn shop. He's kept that one and a few other "old guitars" as he called them. He was a bass player and he had a '56 P-Bass with the single coil and all maple neck and board which I also got to play. I have another friend who has a '52 Nocaster I get to play from time to time. Meanwhile, half my guitars are Squiers...

[@scottnetter982]

Its amazing how new that thing looks for being a 65' model. Who wouldve bought it just to play it so little?

[@jodyhendrix5876]

What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way

[@TheRockyhockey007]

I really like these ES guitars ,all of them , I'm not really a jazz guy but , as demonstrated , they rock out pretty well too , I mean those classic numbers cry out for that hollow body sound , as does rockabilly , and who doesn't love a little wiggle stick. anyway , very pretty guitar , and it sounds great , as always some great info , thanks Mark and Jen.

[@vmat1000]

10 seconds in and its like Holy crap!!! A Bigsby and TAGS??. Not an expert by any stretch but a 175 with a Bigsby somehow lights me up. Must be the 'burst finish. What a gem!!

[@Hillcapper1]

Man that 175 is so perfect.

[@chrismonk8446]

That instrumental of Wicked Game was off the charts! what a sound, that was hypnotic ..great great job

[@catfishmudflap]

Wow! What a beautiful guitar. Great show Mark and Jennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

[@PicksPaints]

[@mikeflight9]

WOW! Was that guitar bought then just locked up for 53 years? Thats got to go in 24 hours. What an amazing sound.👍

[@TheStrataminor]

If he only would play jazz on it.....

[@thomasnettleton289]

[@coltermerriman5911]

[@crazyuncleduke8012]

Awsome use of the hwiggle stick Mark. :-)

[@LukesVintageRC]

These all sound great

[@profoundsamurai745]

Lovin that guitar.

[@pierheadjump]

Thank you.

[@sammyhat2443]

What a treat well played sir

[@drothberg3]

Great to hear how good these sound for music other than jazz. We already know that it sounds fantastic for jazz.

[@paulorobertoguimaraessilva7608]

Mark... What is the make and model of this Bigsby...was it necessary to pierce the top of the Gibson 175-D to install the Bigsby? thanks !

[@leemartin2978]

Hey I managed to get a better look at who I’m assuming is Jen, whom we often hear, but don’t see enough, by watching the Chris Klafford video here on KZbin, who was the winner of Swedish Idol, and featured on one of Norman’s Rare Guitar videos, doing an amazing job. Now his own video shows him attending the store, and shows Jen filming .

[@nicktopping2484]

Hey guys! You guys are the best!

[@nikosk.8216]

1 of my 5 dream guitars 😍😍😍

[@martinvermilion5207]

[@knottyknotty6894]

[@nicolasfaisant6445]

awsome clean one !

[@torgone]

Man .. If I didn't have to buy a car, pay rent, utilities, eat, etc., I would buy that.

[@masonharris9166]

Fasting is a virtue ,right? .

[@mikegogel78]

It's beautiful✌

[@eternalme6077]

YO AGNESI.........Sounding Good as Usual, a VERY GOOD CHRIS ISACK. Oh, Hi JEN 🎸❤

[@drothberg3]

I have a '64. Mine has no wiggle stick and is a DN (dual pickup, natural finish). The biggest difference is that I played the dickens out of mine, so it's only in excellent condition. My childhood guitar teacher was a jazz player and one of his other students was quitting and giving up guitar, so he suggested we buy it together with a Swedish Goya 000 size acoustic -- $300 for both! Best purchase ever in my life! I assume with the hangtags on that thing, and mint condition, it means it wasn't played, or not much. That's a sin!

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy weird-ass WednESday everyone! Sorry Mark, when I hear the Stray Cats I always think of Gretsch.

[@jackgrattan1447]

Same goes for Eddie Cochran.

[@Johngonefishin]

Chris Isacks guitar player used a Strat, the ES 175 just will never be a "rock & roll" guitar, and Steve Howe isn't a rock & roll guitarist.

[@loganhays826]

what about Izzy Stradlin using one for all of Appetite For Destruction?

[@bilbobaggins3464]

Yeah, Izzy played some killer riffs with 175.

[@kellyc2425]

That looks exceptionally clean... any checking that the Vid cam didn't catch?

[@davidkieltyka9]

Great sounding 175. Pickups have a lotta snap.

[@timlilly]

Yep that's very nice, and we missed what Jen said D stands for!

[@NoWayNeverAgain]

Was hoping for some Izzy GnR, but great as always :-)

[@tippydripbumskeetr1745]

luv it....

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

That model is actually the Gibson ES-175DBW. The D = Dual Pickups, and the BW = Bigsby Wigglestick. Now you know.

[@philbarrows424]

Nice dynamics Cool the way the Guit wants to go into OD when u hit the strings harder👍🏻🎸

[@philipjohengen6594]

Very nice guitar, I would never be able to keep it in tune though

[@SupernalOne]

incredibly pretty axe

[@jimreading7593]

Yes Margo!

[@lauramoore9659]

WICKEDLY FUN GAME!!!!

[@Fungusgunk]

My buddy's still really bummed out about there not being a tele for yesterday... Beautiful sound on this beauty, though!

[@jackgrattan1447]

"Well, my mom and pop told me 'bout a way to make some money. They said go and play me some guitar at their church every Sunday. Well, I didn't go to work, told my mom I was sick. She said: "Now you can't play guitar 'cause you didn't play a lick." Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a'goin' to do... 'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues."

[@ronlight7013]

Wow, I never realized Eddie Cochran incorporated a Duane Eddy bass riff. Tuff stuff!

[@paulsimmons5726]

Steve Howe will be calling you soon... That's a beauty! Way cool, for sure!

[@knottyknotty6894]

What a clean Electric Spanish guitar. So you guys still have the Spanish Guitar for sale??? (SG)

[@willslaughterguitar]

Those are the shiniest pickups I've ever seen

[@lsesternester3231]

Blow. Dude is geeked.

[@markviereck4547]

Beautiful guitar. Has that Steve Howe sound.

[@Andrew-Germain]

1: Wicked Game-Chris Isaak 2 Summertime Blues- Eddie Cochran 3: ...It sounds familiar, but I'm stumped

[@aarontackett6739]

Andrew Germain rock this town-stray cats

[@Andrew-Germain]

right on! thanks!

[@AdmiralQuality]

That's nice.

[@angelspeak13]

I think Wigglestick Wednesday is here to stay.

[@Not_Mii_Uus]

Ooooof im lovin hearing that Stray Cats groove on a sexy axe like that

[@timndel]

Thank you for the Stray Cats, Mark!

[@RaulZanardo]

Do you have a Mustang over there? Have seen one in a while

[@promerops]

Forget PAFs, if you want sustain, get a Jen. I may be totally wrong, but I think Eddie Cochran may have used a Martin flat top for the rhythm parts on his records.

[@HenkeEdge]

5:16 we want to hear the rest of that joke Jen. =)

[@thomasmaynard6125]

Great guitar creer yo Mark.. Oh damn tomorrow is bass day🤨

[@jonlennon3348]

That is one clean 175D you should buy it Mark, you have the scratch,LOL

[@jeffhollidy5194]

Sweet Axe yeah guys I saw a video from 1985 with Rick Nielsen in it and he had original Gibson Moderne

[@voodoodr]

It's on the tag Chad!!!

[@julosx]

"Alec Eiffel" from the Pixies would have been a well-suited cover since Charles played it on an ES-295 reissue (with the P-100 pickups pretty comparable with these ones).

[@DeanMarkleyOfficial]

Wiggle sticks rule!!!

[@ignaciopereira1410]

see the guitar of the day being this and see that you are not playing jazz in it broke my heart

[@Oris37]

So, Jen: what does the 'D' actually stand for..? ;-)

[@eljensen671]

Wicked game... Helena Chritiansen. So very fine.

[@chadmoran5545]

Lmao. Yeah that’s good enough for me. Thanks for the shout out.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

lol

[@michelthegreatable]

Wiggle stick Wednesday!

[@anthonyc1883]

Chaaaad!

[@boss123400]

Did you hear about the time Frank Stallone forgot his ADHD medicine and was bouncing off the walls down at Norm's. Yeah, he wouldn't shut up, and was like Bevis on coffee. Well, he grabbed a beautiful 1939, Martin flat top and started jumping up and down on Norms couch like he was losing his mind, singing "bye, bye American pie, drove my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry", and that's when it happened; Franks button popped off on his draws, his pants fell down, and low and behold, he was wearing size xxxl "Hello Kitty" panties. The entire store was in tears with laughter.

[@ordinarypablo]

Troy Strain what

[@gcf7175]

I read about that incident in New Republic goos to get confirmation from an actual eye witness.

[@barrymckinley5330]

Troy Strain , you sir, should be thoroughly, considered, as head writer, when they get the sit-com version of this show, great stuff !!

[@HBSuccess]

Why can’t we just revise Frank OUT of any history at Norm’s? Honestly the less I have to think about any Stallone - The less stressful my day.

[@TylerSnyder305]

Troy Strain Are you obsessed with Frank or something, it sounds like you're butthurt because you were stalking him and he rejected you.

[@elijahkelley7616]

Whenever I look at this guitar, I can't help but think "George Thorogood"

[@keltenchyz4299]

that was an awesome rendition of rock this town! yes it's a gretsch song but sounded awesome on that thing

[@roaddog7542]

Where's the, "All EQ'S at noon just a little bit of reverb" t-shirts?

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

IT'S A CLEAN MACHINE (VERY \\ DAMN IT SOUNDS GREAT // ¡¡ THE PICK UPS SING OUT !! MY FRIEND CESAR PEÑA HAS A 1964 GIBSON ES 175 DN WITH A FACTORY BIGSBY AND HE WON'T SELL IT.....

[@DiegoDiaz-rr2og]

Mexico is playing better than ever before and it's great even if we lost I feel like mexico wont be knocked down during the second round like usual if we continue to play like we are.

[@naxxodrop]

Diego Diaz yo sigo impresionado de que hayamos vencido sobre Corea y Alemania, Alemania ganase contra Suecia y nosotros hayamos perdido contra ellos. Yo pienso que Brazil no viene tan fuerte, podemos ganar :')

[@christophermay4998]

Diego Diaz as long as they can survive the beating of dirty games they will advance......as long as they play strong and clear headed......👍👍👍👍
