Pick a Gibson 0:58 Les Paul Studio 8:40 SG Standard Tribute 15:08 Custom Shop 164 Blonde 335 Reissue 22:00 Custom Flying V Reissue

[@DP-ly3zx]

👍

[@mwe1337]

That 335 is to die for.😄👍

[@mattpassos5689]

You are a god amongst men my friend

[@rajvirsingh5754]

335 for sure

[@maximilianpapasavvas3979]

Ive never seen Marty have such a big smile like the one he had when he was playing that SG and it just shows how much he cares and how passionate he is

[@SuperBakersk8er]

I thought he was just still laughing at the “hit by lightning” joke 🤣

[@alisterthompson1797]

Love the look of that Blonde ES 335...

[@jonathanseitz8644]

i always wanted a Gibson les Paul standard but could never afford one so i settled for a sg standard that i bought off craigslist and fell in love with the guitar years later i finally bought me my bran new les Paul standard and loved the guitar but the funny thing is i still went back to my sg guitars i now primarily play my 61 reissue sg my favorite guitar of all times and i have a room in my home dedicated to guitars all of them are great but SG to me is my favorite great vid Marty

[@soprano168]

Same here. I always thought of myself as a Les Paul guy and considered it to be my dream guitar, but couldn’t afford one. I settled for an SG standard which I bought via one my guitar teacher’s other students for about £700. I love the guitar and now consider myself an SG guy :)

[@funkfan1751]

@@soprano168 Can I join the club. I've been an SG kinda guy since I bought my first SG Special in about '73. I can't afford Gibsons anymore so I play the next best things in Epiphone.

[@CaptainAmerykah1911]

The opposite situation but same results here. I started off with a Les Paul. 6 months in and I face planted the damn thing. Got an SG to replace my les paul temporarily. 5 years later and I have not still replaced my les paul.

[@justpray365]

Same here. I played a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, and Standard. 2 of my friends had SG’s and every time I played them, it just felt better. I am on the lookout for an SG now.

[@ronniefnd]

My first guitar (still have it) is a LP studio I got in 1994 that looks like the one you opened with.

[@franksaldana6570]

“Which we invented”… referring to the hum bucker. I’m pretty sure Gretsch designed the filtertron (a type of humbucker) before Gibson did but Gibson got the patent approved for the PAF before Gretsch got their patent approved

[@edradu7964]

I love to see you do a lower end guitar review under 500 kinda thing love these guitars but for those that can only wish may never be able to afford these types of guitars just love to see your selection of cheap but well build guitars

[@judosailor610]

In 2020 Epiphone updated their line to be “inspired by Gibson.” That means that now you can get Epiphone versions of all these Gibson guitars. Not wanting to spend 3k on a guitar, I recently picked up an Epiphone Les Paul Modern which retails for 650. It’s great! A really solid players guitar, and looks good too. So, whatever you liked in this video you can find an Epiphone version that’s going to be right around your $500 budget. I’m some cases it will even be less.

[@Astro_touches_children]

Unless you're stuck on Gibson check out the PRS SE line. Excellent guitars at a great price.

[@jamesbenoit5252]

Get an Epiphone LP or SG..I have a few Epi LPs and Iove them as much as my Gibsons. I bought my first Epi LP when I really couldn't afford a Gibson - it's still my "go to" guitar.

[@charliecoplestone9694]

I remember buying Marty's DVD of blues rock back in 2011. I ordered from the UK and after a couple of weeks of not arriving they eventually came. He even offered to ship the set out again but I waited a little longer. What a legend.

[@anthonyangelis1094]

Nice playing Marty👍👍 I love the first guitar you demo’d - The studio les paul 🎸

[@ChristianMoodyAyuda]

I’ve been contemplating which Gibson to get for a while… Marty has helped me make my mind up on the Studio … now I really have to go try one for myself

[@jcburger733]

Hey Marty, thanks you for reviewing the Gibson line up. Loved the sound on all the Gibson guitars but for me the Studio stood out the most. Thanks for sharing!!

[@christophermckinney4756]

Lots of fun! I enjoyed meeting you Marty, and talking guitars. My favorite pastime. : )

[@justnik8727]

Hey Marty, great vid and I can see you really enjoyed yourself there. Couple of years ago I got caught up on the internet with all the negative reviews and opinions on Gibson. Took me a while but I went into a store in Sydney australia last year and played the Gibson LP Studio in Smokehouse. I bought it and I walked out of the store not intending to buy one. Then 2 months ago, I got the LP Standard in Heriage Cherry. OMG, unbelievable. Even these 2 sound different, but killer. Love em and will never part with the. Keep up the good work Marty and happy new year to everyone!

[@dragan4658]

All nice guitar styles, the LP sound is my favourite and so is the appearance. Thanks for sharing Marty! Awesome playing as usual!

[@awfulsingercoverswithnooth2262]

I love seeing how happy Marty is here. He looks like a kid on Christmas morning.

[@UmVtCg]

A Les Paul Standard, In fact I bought one as my first guitar a decade ago. Thanks to Marty for teaching me how to play it.

[@itstime2465]

I've bought a few guitars and small amps from Sweet water Great people and easy to do business with...

[@robertemerson1087]

The Gibson for me was the 60s standard in bourbon burst. Got it brand new almost a year ago and haven't been able to go a day without picking it up if I can help it.

[@immutablecantrip]

Is a les paul studio really 1500$ now? I bought one new in 2016 for 799$

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Hey Marty! This is great stuff! Loved it! What amp did you use in the video? I used to argue there was no difference Epiphone and Gibson, but there definitely is. The Gibson sounds a lot clearer more defined that the Epiphone, and it feels better.

[@richreid7098]

In 1970 I took my friend Glenn to New York city with $500 to get a new guitar. Down to 48th st. Manny's, Sam Ash, and 2 or 3 other guitar stores in the same block. A few hours later we headed home with a new Les Paul Custom. $435 with a non Gibson case.. A beautiful black with gold hardware. He loved and played that guitar for the rest of his life.

[@jordanpratt9384]

I describe the middle position as the worst of both pickups.Yes I know I'm on my own but I've never met a middle position I liked.

[@xTK421x]

Which one is right for me? the 125th yr anniversary studio, pearled root beer and orange burst. LOVE!!!

[@xTK421x]

btw I named her Queen Ann, my '68 Martin is The Revenge

[@HenningRuttenberg]

“Marty likes hats!” (And this one is very sweet, Marty!) I have a Studio and I LOVE that thing! To me, that is the ultimate rock tone. However….the 335 sounded sweeeet. I might have to get one some day.

[@gussiejives]

Hey, that’s exactly the SG I have. The Tribute model was a great value.

[@itstime2465]

Marty was that a jazz riff you were playing with the 335? I wish you could give us that lesson sometime 'That riff sounded fantastic!

[@brandonanderson2066]

Gibson is making great stuff. Picked up a LP trad pro V and I love it.

[@charlesbolin7249]

Love the video but, you missed out on the opportunity to explain Gibson's very unique P-90 pick up. Maybe have the same gentleman on in the future and feature Gibsons with P-90's?

[@JohnTaylor-np9my]

I was playing with the idea of getting a Gibson LP of some description. But after a Casino Gold Gretsch Jet Electromatic BT popped up on my phone, I had to look at the details. At under £500 it is an absolute steal! Although made in China the cobstruction & finish is flawless. I ordered one a few months ago and havnt regretted it. Plays through my valve Blackstar head + 12" cab & valve Marshall DSL5 beautifully, & IMO the Gretsch Jet is better proportioned & looks better. Bottom line is..what the hell are you getting for nearly a £1000 more?? Oh, I can afford an LP.

[@tutorialeorga2029]

Keep it up man i like your videos!!

[@itstime2465]

HAPPY NEW YEAR MARTY................

[@syniister7055]

Marty!! Sick video ive always wanted a gibson, thanks for posting

[@daveduffy2823]

I have a Classic that I love and a Tribute that I take out to play. Both sound great and get the job done. Hey Gibson, do something with those staticky cavity covers!

[@joshualafleur8248]

Hey Marty I would love a tutorial on how to play bartender song by rehab. Love all your stuff Marty truly awesome.

[@thebestfella1336]

During the video I got a fender play ad on a Gibson topic video😂 they are keeping the competition going I guess

[@TennRides]

Some great guitars. Roughly 10 years ago I bought a new Les Paul Standard, I love it. At the time they had the Studio version in a gorgeous root beer color that I now wish I would have bought instead. At the time I didn't realize that the Studio was the same basic guitar, just not as fancy. I would have chosen the root beer had I known. I love my Gibson, but I also love my American Strat, too, for different sounds.

[@tymigliore6390]

I have the root beer premium plus I was thinking about selling

[@masterwhomp565]

I will always love the sg, very underrated guitar but I love it ❤❤❤

[@alansimpson8962]

All iconic beauty's. But i like the epiphone casino

[@calcornell5320]

Nice I have a les paul kinda like that red one mine has the dots and no dust covers but looks just like it I could not afford the standard but I still got a les paul and love it

[@mikemcintosh9933]

Answer: The Gretsch! lol. Happy New Year Marty and all Marty Music fans. Looking forward to learning even more chops in 2022!

[@fotisbozikas507]

This video was a masterpiece and very enjoyable of course!

[@daggercatz7297]

Jo what was that riff you played in the beginning, that was insane

[@madmaxx5612]

The one with firefly, iyv or donner on the side. No more over priced wood. Money saved I put 8 kids through college and built my own studio. And still have dinner money left over. It is the time of reasonably priced instruments.

[@joetimilty221]

awsome as always Marty!!!!

[@timmcdonald9877]

Hey Marty!!!! Great job, sir!!

[@youreallihave001]

13:30 - something about Clutch)

[@happy_92]

I love how everything in music is so subjective. Music is really just an attitude.

[@captainbuck5969]

I own 4 newer LP Gibsons guitars. The quality has definitely improved. Very happy with them all!

[@dw7704]

Lonnie Mack also used a 58 V

[@jochembosman904]

Can you try to do a Harley benton on this “series” because I want to know your opinion on this guitar?

[@joshnorko5586]

Awesome stuff

[@SuperBakersk8er]

Neck pickup for days !!

[@motorcyclemark2889]

The right Gibson for me was the Epiphone 50s 2023 model Les Paul standard in heritage cherry burst

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

On the Flying V, I would have liked to have seen the '70s model of the Flying V.

[@John_Krone]

Suddenly I have a huge urge to get a Gibson. Great video. Thanks Marty and Gibson. Now I'm decided which one I will get.

[@hayios0]

I want a Studio but with Standard's production attention

[@modegfay8233]

Sad fact: it is hard to promote KZbin channel so I should write such comments

[@jakereesemusic]

Not sure why he said the 335 tops are book matched unless maybe that was something they were doing in their early 2000s era. I have 21 flame maple that is clearly 1 piece (across,it’s obviously 3 ply like all of them). Watching the tour videos for the 335 you can clearly see that it’s 3 sheets that are whole,not bookmatched. They’re so thin I can’t imagine trying to book match.

[@scottbelongie9051]

Chris was great u can tell he knows the guitars and loves it Another great show and not bad Playing 😁👍🥃 I like the sg the best and damn did not know that’s what it stands for really

[@kennethholbrecht6103]

Although there's a lot off options, who are equally as great or even better options then a gibson . Nothing beats playing a good gibson

[@fabienbourdier9847]

0:05 heyyy i've got the same one !... but epiphone lol

[@jessevanbeek1994]

He Marty I just had an Idea for a new guitar lesson: Boys don't cry from the cure. I think it would be really cool I'd you would consider it. Keep on making these cool videos man!

[@rudysoto87]

Just started following you to learn guitar, I live in Fort Wayne . Sweetwater is an amazing place. what did you think?

[@nateshewell6509]

The whole lineup sounded great, but that 335 man! It's got me where I'm weak. Right in the credit cards!

[@rayross997]

I choose all of them. Thanks Marty.

[@feizalglencross545]

Could never afford a Gibson, but I love my ibanez which my mam got me for my birthday back in 1982 :) Love your videos thanks for sharing mate ... From England :) Ps I owe you such a great big thankyou Marty ,,,, Back then when I was a kid I had some lessons off the school music teacher my mam paid for afyer school, and he convinced me that unless I could read the music I couldn't play the tune ,,,, over 7 lessons he totally put me off and destroyed my confidence ,,,,, so I gave up ,,,, until I found your channel a while back ,,,,,, I'm so angry I feel like I've lost and given away nearly 40 years of potential playing ,,, anyway I'm playing in my own way now thanks to you ,,,,,,,,

[@shawnbell6392]

Have to say I was impressed with how the 335 sounded.

[@N_B_123]

I want to (and will) get a gold top standard with p90s when I graduate…

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

Good to see Diamond Dallas Page has a side gig with Gibson. Goes with the Double Diamond logo! 😬

[@guitarman1569]

I think all of the, are cool!

[@anthonycashero7605]

Gibson Les Paul Standard mahogany top. Fantastic sounds. Thanks Gibson.

[@FLOSSDOGG]

Nice video but where was the Explorer? And how could you not mention K.K. Downing as one of the most famous players of the Flying V?

[@michaelgreen5206]

One of the most famous guitarist that rocked a Les Paul Jr. is Leslie West of Mountain. Mississippi Queen anyone!

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

"Gibbys" yay!!! My Worn Cherry Studio and Goldtop Reissue are the "bees-knees". God bless weight relief.

[@alexcorona]

The one you can afford, aka none 🤣 Which is why I stick to epiphone.

[@greaper012]

For me and some others it's the Firebird. Been melting faces since 1963.

[@jamesbenoit5252]

Marty, Marty, Marty ... not "the right Gibson." It's "pick the right GIBSONS!" . I have a Songwriter acoustic, an new Ice Tea Burst '60 style LP, a '15 Heritage Cherry Sunburst Classic *loaded* and a Cherry SG. (also have a few Epi LPs, and a ES-339) Next, Honey Burst Classic coil tap/weight relief. Can't have too many, and ya, I'm a Boomer who worked all my teen/adult life - giged with whatever I could get/afford ...so now, I'm indulging my love of Gibson products.

[@DAMusic-qu2ec]

I love how he avoids the copyright. Reminds of those Conan skits.

[@archivedandgone]

All of them are right for me

[@triton5342]

Love the look of a Gibson but got no money to spend on that kind of a guitar so best 'Gibson" for me is Epiphone :D Someday Epi Flying V and Les Paul will be mine ^ :)

[@safetypinsam8497]

Tons of people prefer Epiphone to Gibson anyway, it's not a huge gap in quality :)

[@christopherbrown1720]

Beautiful 🤙😎

[@Dram1984]

Will Sweetwater pre-break my headstock for authentic relicing?

[@guitareater6975]

Dude what are you trying to say Take care of your guitar and you’ll never break a headstock

[@xlosingsanityx1128]

Hello, from Fort Wayne Indiana

[@ericstover4461]

The right Gibson for me is a tobacco sunburst Les Paul 50's special like the Marty Schwartz uses.

[@straight8ight]

Well done.

[@MothmanCold]

RD for me, all day long

[@jameswhite1450]

ES-335s rule!

[@MrLifelongFitness]

Marty, What's it like to be you? Great video as always. I love that 335! You need a blonde one now!

[@wilvanwyk4478]

After watching Marty play the SG I now want to listen to ACDC

[@USMC0332]

Each guitar inspired you to play differently. Cool video Marty!

[@sebsguitar]

Paridise City guns n roses PLEASE been waiting for a while

[@leeconner3982]

My Custom Shop S G Elegant would be one of my choices also my Flying V. Is an awesome guitar ad well. These guitars are amazing, however my go to guitar is my Schecter C1 Apocalypse, another amazing guitar.

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

I like Gibsons removable headstocks

[@mirabal1238]

I had this in the background and somehow knew that this was a les Paul playing

[@belo1971]

The one with G string in tune 😜! So not a Gibson 🤪

[@miahorg]

How about Gibson actually build the 339 I've had on order for a year? That might be the right one for me but who can tell...

[@ibsenrodriguez7296]

#justice for firebirds

[@douglaszoubek7788]

Les Paul modern is the best sounding and playing of all. Nostalgia is for collectors that need to learn how to play better. So far, no model can come close to the 2019 modern. All models are good, but the modern is the best.

[@amoose8439]

Ah another episode of the best of things you can't afford... Love it!

[@rueda82nd]

Any Gibson is the right one for me 😂👍🏻
