[@satchelpaige5868]

Does anyone else sing along to “Andy’s clip of the week”? Thanks for a great show Andy!

[@Xaion6]

Jeff's Les Paul will always be the Oxblood for me. Honestly, he'll always be a Strat guy and in my opinion, THE Strat guy.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Totally strat

[@popsplace0420]

I bought the HALO Core as it launched on the RKFX website. It launched at 0900, my shipping ticket was timed at 0906. The 300 units did sell out in 4 hours.

[@TheChannel600]

YOU KNOW WHAT TIME OF WEEK IT IS 🎉🎉🎉

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Sorry, BUT Fender is Jeff Beck NOT gibson ‼️ His playing elevated when Beck went Fender and without a pick ‼️

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

It should be the Blow By Blow Les Paul at the very least. What a crock!

[@BooleanCorporation]

Watching this one right after getting the Gibson newsletter announcing a new Slash signature (resembling his early days clone) for around 3K, more "Gibsony" pricing.

[@SeanAllocca]

Come for the gear news, stay for the physical comedy at the very end.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Hahahahaha, not even I knew that was going to happen

[@thunderbirdcalls]

Your show is always amazing. Love the comedy and levity that goes along with it, as well. Thank you!

[@Krullmatic]

I love ya Andy! I always look forward to the Week In Gear, and well, any video you put out. I really dig the humour!

[@Crispy_Music_2024]

Thank you for making these videos. They're very informative. Your presentation and humor injection make them superior.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

This made my day. Thank you too

[@vasotoe]

Oh it's that time of the week again!!! 🤘🔥

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Yeah, time flies doesn’t it?

[@thesjkexperience]

Thanks Andy, I watched a demo on that new pedal and still wasn’t sure what it was. Your explanation was fantastic.

[@simonpark843]

If anything is plugged into the mains power it's extremely hard to isolate it from 60 cycle hum. The best way is to make sure your device has isolated inputs but, even then, hum can occur. There are a lot of variables involved.

[@DaringDan]

The Prismatic Wall is SICK!

[@SonOfNiall]

Jeff Beck was a Fender player, anyways. You can get a custom shop Jeff Beck Signature Strat, the guitar he played for decades before his death, for less than half the price of the Les Paul, and the non-custom signature for a quarter of the price. Rest in peace, Jeff.

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

Jeff Beck played whatever he wanted. He was a Tele guy, then a Les Paul guy and went to Strats exclusively in the 80's but to say, "He was a Fender player" and leave it at that, is asinine. If you don't want the guitar, don't buy it. Nobody is compelling you and certainly Gibson marketing an expensive guitar doesn't affect your life in the least.

[@PaulCooksStuff]

I'd say "going to strats exclusively" for 40 of your 78 years (probably 40/60 of your professional career) is pretty much a definition of "a Fender player". Yes, he played other stuff decades ago, but it's scraping the barrel to issue a JB signature LP. Greenie has out of phase, Frehly/Frampton have triple pups - at least they somehow differ from regular production. There's nothing particularly distinctive or unique about this reissue compared to regular production. It whiffs of memorabilia cash grab. Yes, you're right, it's our personal choice whether to buy it, just as its also our personal choice to disdain the motives behind it. Those views don't affect your life in the least either.

[@TumbleweedRancher]

Strange that the Hard Drive is a 90's thing when it appears to have an Osborne or Kaypro computer on it, very much 80's tech.

[@DeanFeeney138]

Great seeing Electronic Audio Experiments on here. They make some of the best dirt pedals around. This is something really different for them. I'm a big fan of the lastgasp misty cave so this has me intrigued. Top stuff as always.

[@seanzinger]

The best intro ever

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank Victor for that one!

[@SamBrockmann]

I'm looking forward to the JHS Hard Drive full review. That pedal seems interesting.

[@madmick78]

Four years back, I wanted a "Les Paul" for my 60th birthday. After a lot of research & shopping, I got an Eastman SB-59 for $1000.00 less than a real Gibson Les Paul cost (at that time), and I've never regretted it. 1 piece mahogany body, maple top, ebony fretboard, all hand made. Fit & finish is very, very good. It's one awesome guitar, especially for around $1400.00! Of course, the price has escalated in the four years since, and they're close to $2400.00 now, but I got mine early and my heirs will decide its fate after I'm gone. I have no use for Gibson.

[@davplys]

Gibson , the new Bradford Exchange of guitars

[@ChrisTopherBunnell]

Hedge funds and corporations that use similar practices, are destroying America's economy and reputation, if you don't start talking about republican politicians, but those two types go hand in hand. Trump recently advertised he would give executive order requests to any company that donates $1B to his campaign. If he gets elected again I am seriously thinking about moving to another country. I am a disabled war veteran who fought to "protect and spread democracy", while "fighting terrorism". I will never forgive myself for being such a fool.

[@wideyxyz2271]

Gibson = Investment brokers !

[@CraigFlowersMusic]

The Halo Core needs dual concentric knobs. It's irritating to have physical knobs but never know where they're actually set. I think before long it will become a thing to have physical knobs with presets be motorized. How cool would it be to have the panel on your Katana actually move around to show the setting for each preset!

[@guyfawkes8873]

A much easier (and cheaper) thing than motorized knobs would be LED readouts at the base of the knob. No need to go for something complicated when something simple will do the trick.

[@Chemist1076]

The geek in gear!

[@backlom]

Great show this week. My sentiments exactly re Gibsome mo’ money 💰 My fav is the power supply

[@hubieh3374]

In general, If it plugs straight into the mains, it's actually isolated.. If it has a wall wart, it's not..

[@andsoistopped]

I have three of the pro modular power supplies each with 5 outputs. They are excellent.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Good to know!

[@davidrees1840]

Seems to me that Gibson made dbl creams first. Since they had lots of black bobbins and some white, all hidden at first by covers, it makes sense that most were black, some were zebra, and a few were white-white. Just completely random mixes, 20 years before Dee-Mar-Zee-oh (only zz sounds ts, like pizza).

[@wideyxyz2271]

I just bought an Eastcoast G35 and it's bloody beautiful and well-made and plays ever so sweet.... Just saying lol.

[@mknewlan67]

It’s starting to get so bad that epiphone is the only guitar made for playing and Gibson are made for wall hanging

[@coffeest]

I was expecting some talk about Source Audio Artifakt? But I guess there's always a next week?

[@al271987]

I am really hoping this breaks the barrier with double cream pickups in the us. It’s not a problem for British and Asian pickups but sometimes it’s hard to get them over here in the us.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I think it’s a silly trademark too

[@jensenhealey08]

@@TheGuitarGeek It's not really a trade mark, it's a description of what Di Marzio are selling, a humbucker with two cream coloured bobbin cases.

[@wbfaulk]

I imagine the one non-isolated output is connected to the mains ground, while the others are not. I can't think of why that would be desirable, but I can believe there's a reason.

[@rowbags3017]

The Prismatic Wall seems amazing! Unfortunately, UK dealers are showing it at £419 (not £315).

[@stephenfoley1261]

I read an article that stated that Gibson have filed to cancel the "double cream" and "PAF" trademarks. If they can't have it they want to make sure noone else can.

[@Zoso981]

A classic Gibson move...

[@juanjan__]

that Lovalet behind you is SO pretty!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Sounds great too!

[@juanjan__]

@@TheGuitarGeek yeah, I've seen your videos and it does indeed!

[@frankhughes5702]

I don't give a flying v 🤣🤣

[@bigtguitars7312]

I’m waiting for the Keeley Andy Ferris signature pedal

[@matzer8846]

Nice HB power brick ... speaking of infinite holes Gibson seems to thinks it can put one of these holes into our purses

[@mycosys]

Non-isolated on the power supply means it is grounded to the mains power.

[@RiloRox]

That psu wont work with the QC as it needs 12V and not 9V. So even if it outputs 3A the voltages wont match...

[@lamppostwillie]

Gibson no longer makes guitars, they make collectibles. Pretty sad.

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

Eh, just get the Tributes or lower-end ones and give them some love. My Tribute V is one of the best playing and most resonant guitars I've ever owned.

[@michelvondenhoff9673]

Gibson is marketing it is Epiphone where they make the money.

[@PaulCooksStuff]

"just get the Tributes" They've stopped making Tributes, and also upped the price of Studios.

[@saarangnarayan123]

💯

[@garyrouleau4676]

You’re absolutely right!!!!!😂😂

[@j.jester7821]

You could certainly buy a much less expensive les paul, even an epiphonw and just install some dimarzios.

[@smokestacklightning]

Opinion, everyone’s got one. Line 6 should add a ‘create your pedal’ feature to the Helix floor and we’ll swap the presets. I’ve bought a lot of gear over many decades but current prices $3-400 for a single use pedals are unrealistic for real giggers. It’s a bedroom collectors marketing grift and just results in more hyper-consumption and way less wild musical creativity.

[@taylornutt]

That Harley Benton Power supply looks like a copy of the Fender LVL Engine 12.

[@robcobi]

Also if Gibson sold these for 5k flippers would snap them up and flip them for this price. So it's just life now days.

[@markbois1713]

I'm pretty sure there was a ruling against Dimarizo saying they can't patent the color.

[@whatisthis__95]

Gibson already sells double cream humbuckers

[@michelvondenhoff9673]

For the price of one Gibson I prefer a Gretsch G5421, Sire S3 hss and Fender 180 resonator. I might have change for a cable and stand 😅

[@user-jy3io4iz2p]

You can throw in a pretty nice amp as well at about $1200 of change 😂

[@supermario2100]

You can't really defend the price tag of the Jeff Beck LP, but it makes some sense. A Custom Shop R9 is about $6800, and a M2M R9 with a one-piece body is about $9700. When you factor in the artist/estate tax and the fact that there are only 130 of them, it almost looks like a steal lol.

[@davidrees1840]

M2M? Made to measure?

[@edwardjons8684]

The Halo already sold out before anyone really knew about it. It was a limited run, so it’s already long gone. Damn shame, as it seems like a cool pedal.

[@Zardox-The-Heretic-Slayer]

if I was heading up a brand like keeley, I would do a limited run of a pedal specifically to target scalpers , once it had all sold out and they were all on reverb, I would then release the rest of the stock for £50 less than the original run. I absolutely hate scalpers

[@dareelrca3595]

If I'm not mistaken Jeff Beck gave this guitar to Jimmy Page when he joined the yard birds

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

You are. It was a tele.

[@jwstout007]

OK, sir, how do I send you merch? I don't give a flying V should be on a t-shirt lol!!!

[@samright4661]

Gibson took Dimarzio to court about the patten on the double cream pick ups because Gibson was making them in the 50s it good news for pick up makers ! I guess they won the lawsuit

[@user-jy3io4iz2p]

You're commenting on Gibson not Jeff Beck. Gibson is 😂 Jeff Beck is 😎

[@cedricdemeulenaere2337]

Gibson necrophagia Les Paul

[@Zoso981]

I love my Gibson guitars. But I can't justify the cost anymore. I'm in the market for a new ES-335, but Gibson priced themselves out of reach for me.

[@gkol69]

Gibson has sued Dimarzio over double cream trademark and PAF name use, to lift the trademarks. Now, it releases a guitar with double cream pickups? Seems like they're checking how far Dimarzio can go? Larry Dimarzio in an old interview said that a patent (or a trademark) doesn't mean a thing if you don't have a lawyer and the will to defend it. We'll see...

[@nocureforyou9747]

How do you use a power plant likw the harley benton one i dont get how any of that worked

[@nocureforyou9747]

Works*

[@endezeichengrimm]

I want that Hard Drive.

[@zackpack8]

Gibson should just admit it. They're an antiquities creator for doctors and lawyers offices. So Harley Benton essentially copied Fender's power supply.

[@frankblack4626]

doom and wolf 3D :)

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Oh yes!!!

[@southernpanda33]

It can if you throw it hard enough. 6:27

[@SaabJitsu]

As a former employee of the G, would it shock you if I said the could sell EVERY guitar they make, all the USA stuff and all the custom shop stuff without changing a thing, for $1,000.00 US and still make millions of dollars a month. Fact y'all. It's crazy I know, but it's true. Granted it would only net them 2 million a month globally rather than 7-10 million but still..

[@takemebacktothen]

Dimarzio licensed a bloody colour? lmao

[@johnwilkes681]

A Les Paul guitar back in 1959 cost about 450 dollars with case , which would be about 4600 dollars in today,s money. Just put a name player on a re issue guitar and charge double that ,or even more in some cases. Especially if they are sporting a pair of super distortion hum buckers . Fools and their money as the saying goes.

[@brandonjackson5865]

Once they sold all those 10,000 dollar Adam Jones LP Customs on pre order they got no shame. Can’t believe they haven’t had a go at making an Iron Cross with or without Papa Het , I’d imagine they could sell a few of those for 20k probably. I’m sorry 10k for a guitar I’d be out if I could afford it. You could get a very nice Japanese Les Paul and a decent used car for 10k and maybe have enough change left over to put half a tank of gas in your “new” used car.

[@tummy_fritters]

The new Andy Ferris album, "Sexy In The Mouth," will be debuting this week on your mom's radio.

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

Hello Helo! 😉 🤖

[@AVM-Music]

Looks like every other Les Paul £10k though? Hilarious

[@sumithramachandranwatchyou5045]

Only 10000$?? I will buy two then 😂

[@dank3435]

Andy, I like your channel a lot. And watch regularly, .but you have 126k subs...you could probably buy any guitar that's $10k or more or maybe Lee could hook you up with a nice discount.

[@Crispy_Music_2024]

Gibson making an expensive signature guitar isn't about making or selling that guitar. It's about getting free advertising because people and KZbinrs will talk about it. That means "Gibson" stays in people's minds when they think about guitars.

[@scarcam]

Aren't the Dimarzio ones more of a beige colour...Yuk!

[@vintagetubeamplifiers]

I was the 666th thumbs up, quite Metal.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Very metal! 🤘

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

Gibson sued DiMarzio recently to cancel the "double cream" patent because the look has become generic in those 45+ years. While the case is in a sort of limbo, Gibson is going ahead and marketing double "classic white" pickups and argues that the color is not exactly the same. In fact, the DiMarzio "double cream" is darker than a typical aged white butyrate bobbin from the late 50's. Gibson argued that the color is not the same and DiMarzio has no legal rights to sue manufacturers for "similar" but the the SAME color double-white bobbins. So Gibson is basically saying "Come at me bro" and time will tell if DiMarzio has the horses and $$$ to counter.

[@NeungView]

Just cover the pickups in a metal cover that people can remove when they get the guitar home, just like people did in the past.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Nice idea but I think that’s asking a bit much of most people

[@NeungView]

Maybe. However, I find the whole thing ridiculous. The dirty white colour in the natural colour of plastic.

[@PaulCooksStuff]

They put those peely asmr bits of clear protective plastic on the pickups. They just need to use black film on one side. (I really shouldn't give Gibson ideas, but I doubt they read Andy's comments section.)

[@Case_]

LOL, 10k for a guitar. But of course.

[@georgeargon5113]

Any self-respecting musician vs. Investment banker, dentist, or plastic surgeon will opt for an Eastman single-cut, solid body over another "signature" Gibson Les Paul (yawn)...

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

What's respect got to do with guitar brands?

[@plecogod]

$10,000 for a new Gibson Les Paul just seems obscene to me. Even if you assume a 50% mark up, does it really really cost Gibson $5,000 in parts and labor to produce one guitar? I find that hard to believe. I feel like Jeff Beck would have found a guitar like this that almost none of his fans could afford to buy to be a super cringe cash grab.

[@PeterMoore350]

oh gawd Andy 1:15 let's see. An overpriced POS Gibson who's headstock angle means it will easily snap in shipping or if you look at it the wrongs way ? Want a decent single cut ? Buy a Solar GC1.6 and be done with it, if budget limited ? then a 2.6. Me ? Go my prostate cancer biopsy coming up on July 9th, so everything is on hold. I'll be fine - i beat CV19, i'll beat this too. cheers from NZ.

[@MarcAndreLevesque]

10k for a guitar ... yeah!!!! Another unicorn guitar nobody cares about and can afford. This makes me so sad ... the company making my favorite guitar, the SG, is nothing but a shadow of itself ...

[@cameronfarrell9076]

Is there nothing they wont do? They wont make a good guitar for a reasonable price

[@digitalplayland]

10k for a guitar. Wow. Why?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Because greed

[@mycosys]

They think someone will pay

[@Really-hx7rl]

Gibson....Fender YAWN! Over priced and not an ounce of true innovation anywhere with their Guitars. I wouldn't buy one tbh even if I could afford to. Love Vintage Guitars and G&L Guitars at least they offer value for money and some innovation especially the Vintage Revo Series. I especially like the new Revo electric acoustic guitar they have brought out. Looks awesome and sounds amazing and the lower side of £400..ticks all the right boxes for me. I think Vintage will one day be a major player in the guitar world with Gibson or Fender especially in the UK. Luv them.👍

[@MatthijsKoningstein]

I totally agree on the Jeff Beck signature (and basically all of their signature LP's). The Gibson brand just isn't there for us players anymore. It's great if you're a rocking plastic surgeon from Beverly Hills. I'll stick to the alternatives. Oh, and I've got a HB powersupply under my Pedaltrain. I like them.

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Why do you assume guitar players cannot afford guitars? What stats do you have? None.

[@astralsolari]

Its just a Gibson.. with a nice set of pickups... no better than if you put nice pickups on a normal Gibson yourself... TEHNN GRRAaaannd... Yeah Right!

[@mrtonysantos]

1 x ostracized?

[@musicalcompanion5890]

Classic white or vintage white are not the same as " double cream" the trade mark being granted to Dimarzio whom of which didnt create or invent them. and has used said trade mark to to bully everyone in the business. Gibson and Dimarzio are now in litigation over this. So as to the point of contention i dont know , but thats the whole story.

[@brandonjackson5865]

I’ve always wondered if Duncan would make you a custom order double cream if it shipped with a nickel cover on it? You could specify the cover not be soldered to the baseplate, or couldn’t they call a double cream double vintage white, or double buttercream or something ? Apparently Dimarzio and I believe Keisel have tried to get copy-writ or trademark other bobbin colors and were denied. I’ve always found Dimarzio’s double cream blocking the highest form of stoogery up there with Gibson protecting a 70 year old shape, it’s a way of using law to avoid competition at all costs in my opinion. Trademark your logo and your name, but shapes and colors of 70 year old tech is ridiculous.

[@figzor]

Cream isnt White.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

And classic white isn’t white either, it’s cream

jeff beck played strats gibson are so sad in doing this just a joke rip jeff

[@son0fsocal]

JEFF BECK Les Paul, when he was known as a STRAT man. His estate clearly signed off on that for money. Also, PRS has been selling a TREMONTI model, who is He again? An average guitar player on a 90’s washed up band that plays County fairs?? Strange.

[@trev3971]

PRS have been selling the Tremonti since 2001, when Creed was one of the biggest bands in the world.

[@mknewlan67]

At least he was an average player in a washed up band that sold millions of records.

[@stockholm1752]

I’m really tired of Gibson releasing these “wall hangers”. It’s starting to be a joke. When are they going to realize it doesn’t bring them any new customers? 👴🏻- Eh? Can’t hear you. Too busy in the Lab knocking the crap out of this new R9.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I agree, but they have sold most of them already

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

Who cares? If you don't like it don't buy. Nobody is forcing to buy one or even care about them. There are a bazillion guitars and the used market is full of relatively affordable Les Pauls.

[@trev3971]

KKR aren't interested in new customers, they're interested in squeezing cash out of the whales they have now. By the time those boomers are done buying Murphy LPs, KKR will be selling Gibson for parts anyway. Fender's model is to make younger musicians into customers for life; Gibson's isn't.

[@fisiosaiter]

Gibson is specializing in making non-playable/show off guitars

[@6teeth318]

Do you have to change camera profile every 10 seconds? Pretty annoying.

[@non_brewed_condiment]

I'll say this in KZbin language: forget Gibson and forget KKR. That brand is dead and I just don't care.

[@shawn_ten_toes]

Agreed. Im done with the whole family of brands.

[@guiarnoldi]

If you play guitar and are not a collector, there's a grand total of no reason to grab a Gibson. There's absolutely nothing Gibson offers that other companies won't offer equal or better for equal or less money. I don't play history, I play guitar and work too fucking hard for my money for a parasite company so easily grab it. I hope Gibson keeps offering just guitars for these ridicilous prices so soon enough they will be out of the market. I mean, 10k and indian rosewood. If you're selling shit for this price just because it's a Shitson, at least use the correct stuff. It's still a scam, but at least try to fool people because it's a blessed piece of rosewood licked by the golden anteater and cut down by flying nuns in a jungle full of snakes and caimans.
