1978 Ibanez MC-200 Musician | Guitar of the Day

[@rogerwalnut]

Ibanez in the late 70's was on point. Awesome guitar!

[@mikeymojo8299]

#WeirdAssWednesday #Episode300 #Ibanez 1- Photograph/Def Leppard 2- Casey Jones/Grateful Dead 3- 2 minutes to midnite / Iron Maiden Congrats on 300 Mark & Jen 🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@fenderjazz6213]

Mike M. Hey M, The tone settings on the amp/guitar almost made photograph , and especially 2 min to midnight unrecognizable though.

[@mikeymojo8299]

Fender jazz 62 agreed. Think it may the guitar/pick ups as well. almost thought the Maiden song sounded like We Rock from Dio due to the guitar sound

[@fenderjazz6213]

Mike M. I'm not complaining, Mark does a great job in all he does but when it was over and I went and saw your comment and you said 2 min to mid , I went WTF and had to go back and listen again lol ..... anyway have a real good eve.

[@mikeymojo8299]

Fender jazz 62 Totally agree man. I really enjoy these vids, Mark A is a human jukebox, I mean 300 episodes is like 1000 songs man, shit!!! 😂

[@StevenGonzalez-pu7yc]

when will they do nirvana

[@autisticbandit1160]

You should do a guitar of the day with jen playing a guitar lol

[@tinyb69]

Love those old Ibanez guitars. Total players guitars. And their quality really gave Gibson a kick in the nutz. In saying that, my 79 LP Custom, and 80 Howard Roberts Fusion have been around the world a few times and the only problems I've ever had with them were self inflicted. Still, my 77 Bob Weir Professional, is the nicest playing electric that I have. Thanks for digging deep with this one.

[@wmcreative8311]

Mark, bring in your favorite personal guitar for Guitar of the Day live cross edition on Saturday.

[@jonny100684]

WM Creative I second this!

[@ejm1143]

WM Creative agree 100%

[@mikeymojo8299]

WM Creative absolutely great idea. I bet Mark has a custom Tele double humbucker model a la Keith Richards. Let's break that out for some open G 'keef' fun 🎸

[@THEJADAN200]

I agree as well ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[@rotorhead58d]

AND...play it through a marshall 100 watt stack!

[@StephenFrench1]

I absolutely LOVE guitar of the day. What you played today was great, each song took me back. That's why I watch every chance I get.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

An "I" in ur ears and eyes! 1.Def Leopard "Photograph" 2. Grateful Dead "Casey Jones" 3.Iron Maiden "2 Minutes To Midnight" Powerslave was one of the first tapes I got a a kid! Congrads!

[@dietwoter8905]

Bodyknowledge 77 thanks for putting the song names on almost every video!

[@mikeymojo8299]

Bodyknowledge 77 what's up BK77 Back in Black/Powerslave/Pyromania some of my earliest cassette tapes. As I hit play/pause/play and tried effortlessly to figure out all guitar parts WAY BEFORE KZbin!!! 🎸😂

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Maureen Lowe.Thanks. (My occasional reminder..) I not only name tunes but make them too..

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Hi M meister. Powerslave and Born In The USA were gotten on the same day in Woodbridge NJ years before ever plucking a twanger!

[@dietwoter8905]

Bodyknowledge 77 yeah I have heard some and I really enjoy them and I subscribed

[@randallmartinez3231]

Really enjoyed the 2 minutes till midnight,Maiden Rocks!

[@thedeadweather3]

Fuck it, WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!

[@andrewpappas9311]

Neck Pickup: Photograph - Def Leppard Middle Pickup: Casey Jones - The Grateful Dead Bridge Pickup: 2 Minutes to Midnight - Iron Maiden

[@joejeffery8581]

From like 9:25 - 10:00 the tone changes as the camera moves -- the 410 Deville is behind it and the tone gets muddier! Once the camera moves back, the treble comes back too. Great demo. I love my '82 MC150 with the Super 58's.

[@Jakfilm]

I love this guitar. Reminds me of my first band.

[@MrStranger1944]

Everyone asked for Ibanez and Mark delivers again! I can dig it.

[@teerexness]

Cool guitar. Good looking. Ibanez got a lot right here. String angle across the headstock is kind of a mess, but otherwise it'd make a cool addition to any collection. It sounds like it would benefit from a fresh set of strings or a different amplifier, but once again, it is SO COOL to see and hear guitars that are NOT Fenders or Gibsons! Thanks.

[@braddeathridge]

I love it!!! I've been waiting for an Ibanez episode. So cool!!! Thanks Mark & Jen!!!

[@justyouraverage2869]

Do a vintage Kramer or a Charvel

[@MrCarsandguitars]

Doritos Man this please

[@timothycurrell5712]

Aluminum neck with the "U" headstock! Weird-ass Wednesday here we come!

[@MattySawcheck]

If you guy get a Red Special in the shop you should totally do it. Love you guys, Mark an Jen!

[@geoffhirschfeld-music8698]

so my notification pops up that this video has posted, saw what it was, and my first thought? "man, I hope there's some def leppard in there". And then he brings it. Mark and Jen, you rock.

[@bryanevans2171]

Mark is awesome, so much knowledge.

[@charlesholliday3860]

so you're almost at 300 I'm proud to say I've seen every one of them sometimes multiple times because of guitars are so cool yeah I agree Mark y'all do one of your personal guitar Saturday

[@Will-qw7rm]

I love this series, please never stop haha

[@joebodynobody764]

sweet, love old ibanez

[@colbym3295]

Hey Mark how a Harmony ?? I'd love to see a good harmony black keys style ! Can we all campaign for one lol

[@dizzylizzy124]

You doing the first live Guitar of the Day on my birthday! How cool is that lol.... keep up the great work guys and girls...

[@Josbornevonosborne]

beautiful middle position sound

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

THICK TONE ON THE NECK ~ COOL MUTE TONES ON THE COMBO MIDS ~ A DRIVE GUITAR HUH... LOOKS GOOD BUILT WELL ~ CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042

[@williamnolan1943]

GuitarlosCarlos the legend himself

[@philbarrows424]

Congratulations on Episode 300 Jen and Mark!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@AndrewCapobianco2014]

Best episode ever. I called the Grateful Dead, 2 Minutes to Midnight was incredible.

[@sickb2200]

Love those guitars. I still have my '78 Ibanez PF-200 with Super 70's pups. Noice!

[@gamesandcake4892]

I had an Ibanez MC-150 in Polar White. That was an awesome looking guitar.

[@ckortjester]

Saturday? My birthday is Saturday and the last Gretsch was May 17th. :D I mean, unless there's a pretty rad strat, of course.

[@dl88889]

beautiful! looks incredibly well-made as well

[@Carlito_Sway]

Hellll yes. We out here, we love hippie sandwiches, we love the Grateful Dead, and we love Ibanez!!!! I have a natural finish RGA 121 with a bigass "Wolf" sticker on it and I only play hippie jams on it. Do more Ibanez guitars (crazy Dayglo 550s, pls) and Alembics too!!!

[@mart0681]

What's not to like? Great looking, big sound, and looks surprisingly well built. Wow...!!

[@PDInfantryman]

I want a nut-sustaining pick-up straight-wired right to my dipswitch on a nice piece of ash. Please. Nice guitar, btw.

[@jacobreece1971]

Ken H How much thought did you put into that comment?

[@muserediscovered3750]

Tuning in for the LIVE for sure! Will you guys be reading comments live too?

[@paulcabrera4082]

Everyone's been asking for months for you to do an ibanez, you just did one and people are already making requests, you guys need to calm down he can't just make a guitar appear. Hey mark could review a 1976 cherry sun burst les Paul with three humbuckers, or any les Paul with 3 humbuckers, and play more queen and eagles Edit: and guns n fucking roses

[@JamesBrown-js3lm]

I own that exact model and have had it since the early eighties, it’s heavy duty and has super sustain with responsive pickups. A jammer for sure and doubles as a crowd control implement if necessary.

[@philzyqotsa]

Awesome an Ibanez!!!! Thanks guys!!

[@greensombrero3641]

Great looking guitar, great work on the video. There you have it! Please consider doing an air guitar for the live session.

[@thegeekedgods4329]

Yes, awesome stuff

[@rjs2104]

Love the corporate info Mark, funny cuz I owned an Aria Pro ll.. it was one of my first guitars lol... I remember it was decent and cheap

[@offbeatbassgear]

This was a really interesting presentation

[@alanpassat6759]

I visited Norms the other week whilst on holiday from the UK. Lovely place. Pity they can't export geetars (because of laws on woods) but I still enjoyed the visit. Norms is probably worth trying to get US citizenship for! The seventies...when weight meant sustain and brass hardware was king!

[@kungstu22]

I would really like to see a vintage deadhead axe like an Alembic or whatever. That'd be cool.

[@lordsludge5678]

i have an 78 ibanez pf100...i love it to death its my #1

[@matthiashayward]

wow the chrome bridge is still intact, that's very rare. My Grecos have all the chrome chipped off. Tacky green plush velvet case, viva Ibanez!

[@florianwolf9380]

What an interesting guitar - tons of volume, sounds and distortion; great woodwork, very lovely headstock 💕 - a good-looking Japanese axe ! Great find !!!

[@johnchase3920]

Great guitar! Love playing mine👍

[@GothicXlightning]

just love any guitar that represents this exact same model specially if it's Black with ebony neck got to love that good vintage mix of a Les paul + SG also some of the old 70s eraly 80s Washburn guitars such Hawk wing or falcon are just pure underrated BEASTS

[@HairySon92]

Hey Mark, any purple guitars?

[@bculhane1]

Hot damn that was great Mark and Jen! Man I want that thing!

[@Tcflohr]

Awesome. I loooove 70/80s mij guitars. I didn't even think norms had guitars like these. I'd love to see an old Yamaha SG.

[@brianveestrom6784]

Fuck ya! this will be epic. Lets have the shots lined up every time someone says 'fuck' a shot gets sunk

[@crusherbmx]

I was that guy always screaming for the band to play some Maiden at every punk show in the 90's.....so, thank you

[@rickg2533]

Woah, going live on my birthday!! Great birthday present mann

[@rafaelgutierrez6275]

THAT RENDITION OF 2 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT, HOT DAMN

[@davidbrown1891]

Hah! I bought this guitar in 2017….. exact same case with the scratch… I am pretty blessed to own this baby…… and I also have a 500 that is mint with all those bells and whistles….. along with numerous other vintage Ibanez …… 11:40

[@joshuawilson1396]

love weird-ass Wednesday! great job as always. loved the Maiden

[@kentrath2289]

I'm not a big fan of Ibenez guitar's but I love this one, Beautiful woodgrain, and the 2nd song by the GD sounded "GREAT" I wish you'd play more songs clean, they sound so much better when you can hear the true sound of the guitar and pickup's without all the dirt thrown in. Sounded great and a really Beautiful Guitar to boot, I'd love to know what the prices are on these guitar's day by day.

[@jasonbrooks633]

If you happen to miss the live thing Saturday does it save it on KZbin so you can watch it later?

[@mikaelforss5725]

What about Aria Pro II, had one PE-460 in the mid -80's traded it along with some cash to a 1975 Gibson 335 (still have the 335)

[@Cjcj_1214]

I will always prefer Fender amps, but does anyone else ever wonder what these would sound like through a Marshall?

[@monstercrx]

they sound great

[@daw162]

They sound like a gibson (they're big sounding, not tin canny like this video), except they're better guitars. Bit of a hassle to deal with if you want to change pickups, though - strange size on everything except the MC150, but there are fixes and rings to mount normal humbucker pickups).

[@randy9713]

Best looking Ibanez I have ever seen

[@jacobreece1971]

A late 70s Les Paul like Adam Jones plays. Also how about some fother mucking Queen.

[@darianbaxley8850]

yea I'm really wanting a left handed guitar for thumpin Thursday or flat top friday

[@jacobreece1971]

Guitaraholic458 Eric Gales style🤘

[@darianbaxley8850]

+Jacob Reece hell yea

[@jakeybball]

or like Bill kelliher

[@melchiando]

Jacob Reece jones plays an early 80s silverburst, not 70s

[@PicksPaints]

Congrats on 300 on Friday (happens to coincide with my birthday). Keep 'em coming.

[@fostervalle2483]

YEAH MAN SOME DEAD!

[@fintanoclery2698]

Foster Valle it would be nice to see a Travis Bean, Alembic bass, or a Cowboy Fancy Bob Weir Ibanez.

[@tradeka4206]

Foster Valle YES A FELLOW DEAD HEAD 💀💀💀💀💀

[@lumpylowell]

Wish he played Estimated Prophet would have sounded good on that Ibanez! Casey Jones too cliche for me

[@fostervalle2483]

Paddy O'Lantern yeah man it would be!!!

[@edwardoberlander9723]

Hell yes, Paddy O'. Love me an Alembic!!!!

[@sambolino44]

Years ago I had an Ibanez Artist series, I don't remember the exact model, but it was basically a double-cutaway carved top Les Paul with the same hardware as this guitar and regular humbuckers. The sound, playability, fit, finish, and overall quality of that guitar compared favorably with my real '69 Les Paul Deluxe, IMHO.

[@jessievasser6293]

Cant wait for the live GotD!!! Dont want to start a "campaign" lol but please do the next worthy Hagstrom that comes in the store. Thanks Mark and Jenn.

[@mattjohnson6916]

Hey Mark! I've noticed what looks like a Ritchie Blackmore Stratocaster on the back wall in your videos. Any chance you could give it a go as the GOTD and give us your thoughts on the angle-scalloped fretboard?

[@honda83mx]

Can you do the Green Danelectro U-2 that's on your website on a future weird ass Wednesday? Love Danelectro and I've never seen that color.

[@jimr6971]

Firebird Friday - The most beautiful guitar ever Gibson Firebird VII

[@ricknewmyer]

Can you do an Ibanez Black Eagle bass?

[@glassslide]

COOL SHIRT!!

[@tskeldin29123]

Ready for that ampeg guitar mark

[@philzyqotsa]

Now that's an idea! Bravo !

[@antoineleclabart420]

Do you know about yodelice's guitare ? I can't find it anywhere

[@bronzewolf6464]

Sweet!! Can't wait for the live show. Washburn next?

[@bronzewolf6464]

You guys should do a q&a at the end of the stream!

[@mortensen1961]

WASHBURN ROSEWOOD FALCON!!!!

[@johnmccabe7645]

I'll be watching!

[@musicsoundgear]

NICE!!!! Do you have an Artwood Twin like Denny Laine of Wings played?

[@markmcdonnell]

LOVE this live idea :-)

[@JackJames9648]

So in italy what time it s gonna be?

[@engelsjn]

Great guitar! Heard you mention Auria Pro. How about doing a nice example of one of those?

[@gnomo2368]

Nice guitar, I have one, Just the same model and I am very satisfied

[@sonicosurrealista]

really cool today Mark got to talk a little about the history of Japan guitars , love Jens voice and please Mark do a VOX PHANTOM VI !

[@qwkartist]

I'm just here for the bridge 🤘

[@billyshears6604]

My Marshall jvm410 just took a shit.....again. The Ibanez has kind of a punk tone to it. Japanese guitars can be well built. I have an ESP. Love it.

[@eddieschneider6578]

Love that guitar 🎸

[@contrabandjoe7974]

Slight correction on the Ibanez Lawsuit issue Mark.... It was never an actual Lawsuit.... In 1977, Gibson notified Elger Guitars (US importer of Ibanez/Fujigen) of its INTENT to sue if Ibanez/Fujigen did not cease copying the Gibson Les Paul Mustache Headstock on their LP copies.... So the lawsuit was IMPLIED not executed... Ironically, Ibanez/Fujigen had already changed their LP copy headstocks to a more Guild like Tulip shape starting in 1976....

[@troybagby4902]

Slick! Hey Mark how about trying to do a artist signature guitar from fender such as the Clapton Strat or Jeff Beck Strat or James Burton telecaster etc. etc.?

[@rodrigolopez8414]

Somebody knows how much is the price of the guitar?becouse i has one and i want sold.

[@ziggamaras]

We want a Travis Bean all of us here in Beancity,for bean's sake

[@ikestoddard2458]

Nice! Not a twin reverb? With a double humbucker? SG comparo!

[@HBSuccess]

MARK THANK YOU for playing my ALL TIME FAVORITE dead song - oh yeah The SHORTEST ONE - yo!! Mark tomorrow should be TEISCO THURSDAY!! Let's break out the Spiegel catalog and order up a classic!! Cheap Nippon whammy with 2 plastic toggles. Plywood body and end grain PLYWOOD neck w plastic buttons. the only thing lacking is the DUMPSTER to place it in.

[@J.Burrough]

Caught the mosrite from march/April your ahead of the curve. ✌🏻

[@jimbonacum8917]

It is nice to see something other than a Fender or a Gibson (not that there is anything wrong with them) and it is a great reminder that there are other marques out there that deserve respect. The musician's are great guitars but my all time favorite is the Artist. The top of the line version came with the three band active EQ and for a time it was endorsed by Steve Miller. It was a great example of the school of excess but it was also pretty functional at the same time. Still, even though Ibanez Aria and Yamaha turned out some terrific instruments in the '70's they never achieved the cache of the American manufacturers. Even though an Artist was arguably better (and less expensive) than a contemporary Les Paul, players that could afford the LP never opted for the Artist. I guess it just shows how brand conscious guitar players can be.

[@The10000lbGorilla]

Mark playing the Dead! My week is made.

[@tomjohn9385]

it's nice to see something other then a fender or gibson. don't get me wrong I love my starts and pauls. June 27th is my birthday. hi about doing a Vox in place of a tele?

[@batmanandrobin250]

THERE IS ALWAYS THAT GUY WHO IS BEGGING FOR AN IBZNEX HE WILL BE SO HAPPY BAHAHAHHAA LMAO

[@TheMountainman211]

I think you guys should do a guitar of the day of former rock star guitars and history behind them

[@ryansmith1349]
