Good to see you two back together - fun project! Palermos are interesting guitars... I recently loaned the LesG out to my cousin so he could start learning guitar so it is still getting great use today!

[@michaelr.4878]

This has quickly become my favorite guitar channel on youtube. Keep up the awesome work, dude!

[@jamesnewton485]

"THE FIFTY EIGHT" It just hit me. 58 was the first year for the Gibson Expolorer!

[@sahamal_savu]

As a Canadian, I can confirm that we loooove to price gouge. Especially on imported goods. Some Canadian companies even charge in US dollars because of the exchange rate. I hang my head in shame 😞

[@74dartman13]

Great video and good to see Josh. Wen she cracked him with the baking sheet, I lost it!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@marlan3rd]

I like the cookie sheet action at the end with the neck brace. I don't see how they can justify $3,000 price tag which is more expensive than a Gibson and Epiphone released a copy of the 1958 Korina explorer a few years ago for about $600 and now they have one for $1300. I do like the hammer claw bushing removal technique, I have used it myself several times while working on guitars.

[@jamesnewton485]

Got me a Kathy too. Must be something to the name, still together after 30+ years or it could be that I'm a great catch😁.

[@rafaelcuadra5009]

MAN!!!!!! That was great at the end!!! Cookie free zone..... Good work, edit was outstanding. Repair work was way above my paylevel!! Good stuff!!!

[@thetoneknob4493]

i like your style! my friend came over one day to see me copying the outline of a rifle stock on a killer stock blank by dad bought by chance cause it had a defect and was dirt cheap. my buddy noticed i only had a few tools a corded drill a chunk of broken hack saw blade and a set of hobby chisels and a rasp. he told me their was no way i could make cool target stock for my old target rifle with only those tools..until i explained step by step how i was going to do it witch he still doubted but i persisted and 3 months later i was half way threw with the last step witch was the finish process that takes forever! it turned out great! i knew it was gunna work because it was the same setup that i built my strat body with and that was a much harder project.

[@jody7214]

What’s the verdict?

[@AndrewAHayes]

I too would like to know this! I did notice that the body is smaller than a traditional Gibson Explorer.

[@OldStreetDoc]

Looks pretty good! I’d have gone silver instead of gold too. But THREE grand seems like a LOT.

[@ROFLQuad]

Sean, awesome watching you fix something by hand, like drilling those post holes, and it fits BETTER than what came out of the factory! lol you have the knack!

[@TreyShreddings]

Don’t you touch Cathy’s scarred cookies!! Ya gonna get whacked! 😂 that’s a chibson if I’ve ever seen one!

Wilkinson tuners on a 3000 dollar guitar bruh

[@richardcautorina5190]

That ChibPalermo was a mighty fine Axe Could you please do some Bass Builds

[@RandyFricke]

All guitars are now made on CNC machines. I have a bunch of them I bought on Amazon that with a bit of TLC, maybe a few after-market upgrades play every bit as good as any of the contemporary "over-priced" units. One I'm particularly happy with is my Harley Benton 500SC. It's designed after a white Les Paul Custom w/gold hardware. The neck is .010" at the 7th fret and string height is 1/16" at the 12th fret. Plays like butta. $158 to my door. Yes I slapped some pickups in it, brass nut, tuners, but the frets, binding and the basic foundational build in general was immaculate.

[@JayRod711]

Y'all have great chemistry.. funny as anything out there.. and informative too.. great vid

[@davidmarkham4391]

I swear this shit happens to me all the time… I finally decided to build an explorer and all of a sudden you have 2 videos about explorers 🤙

[@steverushforth7009]

In the UK we have an army regiment called the REME, which stands for "Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers", but everyone knows it stands for "Rough Engineering Made Easy, they seem to be using the same techniques as you. PS Another brilliant video.

[@Nothing-gv8mv]

I love getting stoned playing guitar and eating cookies! It's the Colorado way😂

[@d.j.9961]

Hey Shawn, over many of your video's, I see you using a cheap plastic string winder. I purchased a PRS string winder. Convertible Drill Bit Peg Winder. On the back of the box it says, PRS Multi-Function String Winder. It's a 2 piece winder! U can use it manually or chuck it in a drill. I want to throw away my cheap plastic winders! Definitely worth checking out!!! They happened to have it in stock at my local music shop/ (C.A. House music.)

[@ntomatas1]

That guitar is from a Chinese dumpster and was inspected by 3 cats.

[@MrCamarokid83]

Nah they eat the cats lol...

[@spookshilljoe7376]

It was supposed to be cat bait!!!

[@JJ-nq3ll]

🐈‍⬛ are a delicacy in Chin, so I much doubt it there were involved in any QC. 😂

[@user-pz6js5dv3v]

Hey man cats do quality work man at least mine does

[@davidmurray9193]

Sadly in UK Wilkinson tuners are about £30 but the grovers go for anything from £90 to £130, massive difference, do like the grovers myself

I tried to find that bridge post remover on Stew Mac but couldn’t. Then I went to Home Depot, turns out they got a whole luthier section.

Man Shawn it is really resonant unplugged surprisingly loud

[@nychold]

You ever thought about getting a battery powered tuning machine tool, like the Power Peg or something?

That guitar is better than any $1,000 plus similar guitar I've ever seen! Sean is the Man! I enjoyed the shredding too

[@MrMeadfoot]

When the S.M.G pops up, everything stops !

[@TheMassdistortion]

EXCELLENT video! Touch the scar guitar but leave the cookies alone. i never knew the Wilkinson tuners were that bad. One question though brother. Did that guitar come from China? what made it worth $3,000 with cheap ass parts?

[@jamesnewton485]

???? Sean ???? Where'd you get that wrench you tightened the tuners with? Would like to get one.

[@scarmyguitar]

Check in the video description, there is a link for it.

If you're throwing down $3,000 on a guitar with this many questions...that's on you.

[@RJ_Groot]

good times at Sean's place today!

[@DavidSmith-xz4zz]

Not sure how that is $3000.00? The certificate said it was refurbished and setup by Polermo, but it did not say it was built by them. Looked to have Chinese parts mostly, so it was probably a Chibson originally. That means it cost a few hundred at most. How is a setup with Wilkinson tuners constitute three grand? Lol!

[@allmostbrothers]

So awesome amazing jaming fellas amazing!!!

[@jeffrowlette]

Great episode 👏 Thank you 😊

Im good friends with Mike Palermo he fixed the hospitals guitar for free when i was in the hospital alot of patience enjoyed playing and listening to that guitar i know his reliced guitars go for $5000 and the guitarplayer for alice cooper owns something of his hi mike if you see this Scott

[@georgemobley5913]

This was a killer video guys. Great job on the guitar and sounded great also. Cookies dont last too long around here either. Thanks.

[@txoutlaw73]

I'm glad to pulled that gold hardware. Never was a fan of the gold on any guitar .

[@samizdat113]

You literally burned those plugs out of that piece of wood.

[@MashaT22]

Never touch a woman’s cookies, candy, and CHOCOLATE (and we all know why that’s the most important one of all!). Cathy gave you guys a mere warning shot! 😂😂😂 I’ve seen Palermo guitars before. So if I understand correctly, you’re paying $3000 for a $300-ish Chibson guitar and $2600 for a Canadian setup? I’m sure there’s also import fees to many countries with the price. Better off going directly to the seller and having them make the very same guitars for a fraction of the price.

[@rogerj.reinke6224]

Josh sure sheaked that giutar (Palermo) out......but why change the gold to silver ??????

[@MashaT22]

Some people just don’t like fancy gold! They’re also harder to take care of because the gold plating often gets eaten away if it’s cheaply made and you don’t use the right cleaning products.

[@nugster3616]

don't you hate it when someone trying to tell you how to do your job? lol.

[@BillyTheKidsGhost]

I stabbed a guitar with a screwdriver once. So, a screwdriver is not always the answer. I couldn't even fix it because it was a special type of finish. Game over... 😄

[@jeffrowlette]

When I build guitars, which I LOVE to do, i don't brand them as Fenders, I have custom decals that say "Spanky" (girlfriend's nickname!) "Dude, that's sweet! What kinda of guitar is that?!) "It's a Spanky!!!" I hate ripping people off...NOT cool.

[@that_thing_I_do]

I don't understand the aversion to using an electric drill when the operator is super skilled.The nay sayers know nothing about modern drills, the slip clutch etc.,so you don't over strip.Some drills are more expensive than the guitars being worked on.

[@captainkirk70]

I hope you're sponsored by Dunlop. You gotta know that's just rebranded wood polishes.

[@jimmyjennings4089]

I wouldn't pay 3,000 for a real Gibson explorer, that dude in Canada is plum crazy.

[@bigmikeyz0071]

They aren’t 3k I saw one sell for like $1200 new from Mike’s. I don’t know where they’re made but he relics guitars mostly. He builds for a lot of famous players

[@jerryhatrick5860]

I thought Palermo Was just Frozen pizza lol.

[@dragonstorm8171]

you just showed exactly why i wont buy any Wilkenson products. I've tried a bunch of their stuff, and its all literally just cheap chinese items with their logo or name stamped on them. The few extra bucks you'd spend over Wilkenson instsead of cheap chinese hardware, all your paying for is for them to stamp their name on chinese parts.I'll spend the extra cash and get quality items. you can toss another 15 or 20 bucks and get some nice grovers, or even fender locking tuners. anymore i just toss anything that says Wilkenson in the trash, and to be honest, if i buy a 3000 dollar guitar, and it comes wilkenson hardware and not premium items, ima be highly pissed off lol

[@ONOBITCH]

I have good experiences with the Wilkinson stuff I've gotten, but yeah there is no reason for that stuff on such an expensive guitar. I think it was Chapman, they have a Tele that cost over $1000 that they put a Wilkinson bridge on. At that price I would expect at least Gotoh hardware. I mean, Harley Benton put Gotoh stuff on guitars that are only around $500, there is no excuse.

[@AndrewAHayes]

@@ONOBITCH Me too! I bought a Harley Benton Fusion T 25th Aniversary and that came with a Wilkinson trem bridge and that guitar stays in tune no matter how I abuse the vibrato, I cant say the same for my Fender Strat though!

[@bigmikeyz0071]

Palermo’s aren’t 3k. The aged version is like $1800. Who know where their made but Mike builds for a lot of famous players. Johnny Depp, Tommy Hendricks, Joe Perry and Nikki Sixx
