This guy is one of those great storytellers. I’m jealous asshole I don’t care how good you play the guitar I wish I could tell. Story Like this guy.thats a gift 🎁 from god

I hadn’t played guitar in 25 years and when my wife died I picked up a 50’s Gold top and it was soo good I picked up a 60’s Bourbon burst and it was soo good I drove about an hour to our closest GC where I played 3 Gibson Les Pauls and can now imagine paying $2,999 for a Gibson 🤦🏻‍♂️

Great info here, thank you. I live in Massachusetts and just stacked a cord of wood in my basement. I think it was not ready to burn, so I bought a moisture meter, and sure enough, it needs further drying out before burning. Having just watched this video, I'm wondering if my moisture meter could be used on my Taylor acoustic guitar? I placed it on the top of the body of the guitar and it registered between 3-9%. I understand the air humidity should ideally be 50%, but what about the moisture content of the wood itself?

Im having a glaser B bender installed in a few weeks on my tele....they offer same day installation if you make an appointment....I'll be on vacation in Nashville for a few days, so i figure it's now or never!

What happened to this show??

Learned this the hard way recently when the top of my Takamine’s pinless bridge split off (and went flying across the room). My Luthier said it would have the constant changing of humidity in my air conditioned music room. So very humid where the air con was off and very dry with the air con in. Because I played every day I didn't keep the guitar in its case.

I cannot believe this video only has 21 comments I'll do my best to try to help you guys out with getting subscribers this is the only video I've seen on your channel but it's worth a lot of people saying they're interested in anything to do with music keep up the good work thank you guys

Great talk

As a store owner in Mexico, this is the channel I was looking for! Thanks

Great content!! Does he have a site or just sell them through ebay and Instagram?

Epiphone goes waaaaay back with a Greek luthier .. those gtrs behind u? They’re REAL gtrs .. Jazz .. every bit as good as Gibson. I’m Jazz-biased .. hollow hand-carved archtops is where it’s at 4 me

i grew up in the bay area, does anyone know what city Joe was from?

Gibson killed epiphone

you need to adjust the content

I started playing at 12 and I’m now 52. I’ve played many great Gibsons and plenty of bad ones especially guitars made in the 90’s. The clear coat would literally flake off the guitars on the stand. Out of the box they would be pure crap. I have NEVER picked up a bad Epiphone guitar. I just bought my gf a Quilt-top Standard Les Paul and out of the box it was simply perfection.

I'll be turning 50 this year and never owned a quality guitar before and I've been playing since I was 14 That being said, I started looking at martins and Taylor's cause I'm an acoustic guy. When I came across the J200 EC studio I fell in love with the design and the quality for an adorable price. I'm a truck driver , so that kinda stuck in my mind traveling mainly Florida and Georgia with the weather being humid, I was leaning towards the Martin omc-x1e HPL only for that reason and okay ability but I still desired that rich sound. I haven't bit the bullet yet but after hearing the history behind Epiphone it kinda got me in the feels. I love the sound , look and quality, and it's adorable for a blue collar guy for me. I think seeing Jamey Johnson play his pushed me over the edge Can't wait to have it in my hands Thx Epi

FUCK YEAH

I have the Gibson and Fender, among others etc, but just ordered my Serus J! Very excited.

I would love to hear the after the flood story. I was blessed to meet Joe through Chris Camp at a NAMM show long ago who worked with Joe at the picken parlor, and it was one of the highlights of my life. Joe you are a great man.

Such a great interview! Zac Childs is compelling to listen to. This was fascinating!

The last few years I've seen Epiphone quality improve leaps and bounds.I've played many. My Epi Les Paul Custom in Cherry Sunburst was killer! I part traded it for a newer Les Paul 1960 Tribute in Black Cherry with Gibson wiring ,pots and Classic /57 pickups it's amazing!

I don't care who picks up the new Epiphone put side by side with a two thousand dollar Gibson with a blindfold on would never know the difference ... And rather your plugged in or not ... I'm just a working man with a working man budget that doesn't make a living playing music ( dreamer ) lol ... my dad got me an Epiphone back in 85 and I can't say the same for that setting next to a Gibson... though Epiphone has come a long way .... Congratulations to them ...

Oh this is rich!!! The dufus interviewer, the dufus from Norm's and the firewood of guitars... GYPson!!! 🙄

Can the twitchy mouthpiece interviewer... 🙄

Joe is a very interesting and intelligent guy. Thanks!

Epiphone Chinese Les Paul guitar is crap.

It doesn’t surprise me that Joe went to Stanford. You guys left out inventor, and innovator. His client list reads like the rock, country, fusion Hall of Fame. An incredibly humble and self deprecating, gifted individual, who gives new meaning to customer service. The gold standard.

I own a 92 Gibson SG Special, and a 74 Gibson Les Paul Custom both purchased used in the 90s (original models, not reissue), but I have to admit that my 2020 Epiphone Casino Coupe is better built, better finished and probably better sounding than my older guitars. And it has definitely a better neck!

I love it

Can we get an Alex Lifeson ES355 to spec please!!

Epiphone guitars are a superior insterment as far as i am concerned. Great sound quality ect. First epiphone i bought sold me own two and no other brand. This is rare to luck out with this brand and finding out its a awsome guitar so much to say.

If they get the quality back up to the standards of old and the prices brought down to reasonable pricing on their stuff, they’d really be looking out for the customers. Mark was simply brought in because of his knowledge and love for the guitar. He’s a great player and he’ll most likely attract new buyers and all since people like him.

Squiggy sounds like he would be fun to play 18 holes and drink some beers with! Helping the kids is a great thing, my grandson has direction now that he is playing music. Not all kids play sports and music is their way to socialize and interact in person.

Feb 2020...month before COVID "officially" started (I'm not a believer)...anyway..NOVO Guitars...Hard of NOVO from a CZcamsr who has a guitar channel Brett ____...LIked the sound...don't know if they are available in Toronto yet..

Charlton!! Love this company and love these straps.

Fun show, thanks!

what is a string bender? Apart from the person playing the guitar...who bends strings.

What's a string bender?

Now if Gibson would just fix their quality control before shipping.

Brilliant visionaries are not satisfied with status quo. There are leaders who continually want to do better and look for the resources to do so, and then there are the leaders who continually want to do better and create the resources to do so (Walt Disney, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, Joe Glaser, etc.). Joe's mind is on a different level. I believe he would have revolutionized whatever industry he pursued- it just happened to be guitar lutherie and repair.

Keep the videos coming, It's great to hear peoples stories!

I am afraid Gibson (especially acoustic range) is substandard finish quality compared to Martin or Tylor. At the same they are more expensive. Very disappointing.

I always pick up good info from your shows, thanks! I too was born in Columbus and grew up there and nearby. I now live in Coshocton, Ohio about 75 miles east. Go Bucks!

Always some of the best guitars, and you're making them nowadays ('classic' and 'modern') as good or better than ever. Artists are always into collaborating on signature models and otherwise promoting the Gibson brand. Gotta love Slash, Gerry Cantrell, and The Laura Cox Band.

Always great info on your shows, Thanks!

I completly reinvented the pedal steel guitar I brought it into the 21st century. But getting a patient is expensive and hard😠

Ofc whatever Mark touches is gold. His like his father.

Good on Gibson in 2021!

Where have all the doomsayers gone. 18 months ago it was all over yet now Gibson is stronger than ever. And Mark is a great choice by Gibson. Guy knows his stuff in detail....and he can play really well. And he's passionate about guitars and about Gibson. More power to him.

Death of guitar Never . I guess now RUSH on my Stereo Mackie PA & Sub Boom !
