What it's Like Buying the 50K Greeny Les Paul from the Gibson Custom Shop

- A Couple of our Customers were lucky enough to get on the super exclusive list to get one of the Gibson Custom Shop Greeny Les Pauls. With a 50k price tag and a trip to Nashville to meet KirK Hammett. Baxter and Jonathan talk to cool details of buying such a pricy guitar from Gibson.
Forget the guitar for a second.. The person that loaned you the guitar and said go ahead play it… must be a pretty cool Cat. Not many people would spend that kind of money and let people touch it much less play it .. much respect to them
I agree to some extent, but there is definitely a difference between loaning it to Casino Guitars for a video and your buddy Bob from the bowling alley.
Good point. I hadnt even thought about it on that level. So thanks to the owner of this particular specimen.
@PeteManic nope, if you read my other comment you will see that Casino responded to my post it’s a guy that built a roofing company and busts his bit to be able to afford this kind of thing ..
I'm so glad to see kirk using greeny like he is that is a guitar meant to be played and heard!!
I think he had a copy made and plays that
I nearly choked on my breakfast over the description of the buyer experience for this FIFTY K purchase- Free first class flight to Nashville, top-class accommodations, but you have to arrange your cab from the airport? That’s the most Gibson thing ever…
You had a car that took you from the airport to the hotel, and the same on the way back
This was the video I was hoping we would get for this release. Thanks guys. Great work, and glad you got to play and approve of this model!
The actual Greeny is cool because of the history. This has no history and is as cool as a fake Rolex. Each to their own.
Agreed, like, what is Casino doing? Look at this outrageous, even for Gibson, price, on still current Gibson quality department. Yeah, 50k, can't manage to get a studio to come put like the studio beside it, but 50k please for this.
I disagree, Have you ever owned a fake Rolex? They're not even a decent watch
@@BobbyCulpepper.srv3fender so you agree that a fake Rolex is not cool!
Yes but this is not a fake. Its still a gibson
@@whitiesgarage where did I state that it was fake ?
JC Took me on a tour of the vault when I went to the garage and was star struck that he was just hanging out in the lobby. He’s one of the coolest people I’ve ever met.
Damn I had no idea they were making a version of this, lucky bastards!!….got see Gary play greenie back in the 80’s playing Parisienne walkways, my ears are still ringing!…beautiful! 😎
That's not your ears ringing, just the sustain of the guitar
I got a Greeny Les Paul by Vintage Guitars, not quite the same, but it has that out-of-phase sounds and it only cost me £220. I can live with the fact that it's not quite as good as this Gibson Custom shop greeny 😊
Had one myself too. Great guitar for the money. Both are copies, of the legendary guitar, one cost a fortune, the other not.
You could buy 200 of those vintage greenys and still have cash left over to buy a pickup winding machine and components to make 199 sets of different voiced pickups(varying resistance/wire winds of p90s humbuckers etc alnico 2,3,4,5) and install them in every possible pickup combination for less than 50k.......
Or 1 if these Gibsons..hmmmm...
Well in you saved £49,800😊
I absolutely love this guitar. 50K, I couldn't do it. But I love it. And I think Kirk is a awesome. Glad he has the original and plays it live. Neat stuff guys. Thanks.
I can completely agree that I have to give mad respect to Kirk for actually taking this piece of history on the road and playing it live. There are a couple of sides to that, one side says "put it in a museum and preserve it forever". Well then it can't do what it was made to do, make music. The other side of that argument is play that thing just like Peter and Gary did, and that is what Kirk is doing, maybe not to the extent that they did, but just bringing in on the road and not just using it for recording, that says allot about they guy
That’s the coolest aspect of it. Kirk takes it out on tour it’s being used and loved. As a player you better believe if I had a guitar that cost more than a house I’m going to play it. That’s why I’ll never be rich probably, but if I had a super rare old muscle car, I’d daily drive it also whenever possible. What’s the point in having expensive toys that you never play with ? It ain’t much different than the woman with the fancy “sitting room” with the nice furniture, that no one is allowed to sit in nor does the room ever get used. I understand if you have a family heirloom that has been passed down a couple generations and also happens to be considerably valuable maybe putting it away to pass on down being extra careful with it because of what it represents about your family. I don’t think we can assume value on anything that’s being made today. How do we know what people will want and pay crazy money for in 70 years ?
Should have went to a person that plays the kind of music to continue its tradition..
Sad it gets played on stage Makin music that any 200 dollar guitar with a distortion pedal can do.
Don't get me wrong I love Metallica. Up until black album.
Kirk is the wrong owner.
If someone else was supposed to have it they would, Kirk is the custodian the universe choose to have this guitar right now, I don't own or have ever listened to a single Metallica LP but I've seen and heard more about this Les Paul than any other so how do you deduct Kirk is the wrong owner?
I had the pleasure of meeting Tom Murphy at the Dallas Guitar show, probably 10 years ago. He gave a presentation on the making of the Jimmy Page and Billy Gibbons Les Paul custom shop versions. He passed around pictures of the originals, whole and take apart. Plus he had prototype bodies and parts. It was an amazing guitar history. Just the way Tom is...so down to earth...made it one of my personal guitar highlights!
Why is everyone so negative about everything in online guitar communities? Why do so many viewers feel the need to go on a video like this, where someone has been gracious enough to lend their newly purchased guitar that they're so proud of and happy with that they want to share their experience with those that can't afford it, and turn it into a negative situation? Not everything needs to be made for every single person. If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it, why are you telling others whether they should have bought it or that it wasn't worth it? Demand is obviously way more than the number that were made. Let people be happy and enjoy what makes them happy. And anyone that ever says anything such as "specific model guitar X is a real guitar for real musicians, and specific brand Y isn't", you obviously missed the point of playing guitar. There's a reason you seldom hear professionals bashing brands or guitars. Even if something isn't for you, it doesn't mean it's not perfect for someone else, and the thing you think is perfect may be a horrible choice for someone else. No one out there can speak for every player.
People are just jealous poor ass ho les
Nigel Tufnel: Look… still has the old tag on, never even played it.
Marty DiBergi: (points his finger) You’ve never played…?
Nigel Tufnel: Don’t touch it!
Marty DiBergi: We’ll I wasn’t going to touch it, I was just pointing at it.
Nigel Tufnel: Well… don’t point! It can’t be played.
Marty DiBergi: Don’t point, okay. Can I look at it?
Nigel Tufnel: No. no. That’s it, you’ve seen enough of that one.
Happy Spanksgiving!🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
Like Shakespeare to my ears.
Not to mention "listen to the sustain"
😂😂😂🤣🤣😂
To the person(s) who loaned their Greeny to the guys thank you so much, it is an inrcedible guitar that was made to be played! Enjoy guys!
I'm guessing Gibson sent it out for the review. That guitar most likely would be sitting in most collections unplayable if a person bought it.
@@spiderfan1974 you should watch the video, it was good.
@@dubster82 I'm just saying if I bought a $50,000 guitar the one thing I wouldn't do was loan it out so someone could make a youtube video about it. One how would thar help me unless my goal was to flip it for over $100k or more. And two I just dropped 50 large on one guitar. That's almost the price of a house in some places in the US. Or a luxury car. Those guitars are for a niche market of collectors that will most likely never play those at all. Maybe they will be checked for string breakage and tuned occasionally and that's a big maybe. They wouldn't want to devalue their investment now would they?
@@spiderfan1974 they did though 🤷
@@dubster82 so that tells me they are scumbag resellers expect to see it online for over double the price soon.
Question: If you wanted a Gibson Les Paul that sounded exactly like the 50k Greeny but WITHOUT looking like someone dragged it by a chain behind a pickup truck in a gravel parking lot ---, which one should you buy? Maybe a VOS '59 reissue? I'd love one that sounded the same and that I could do my own natural relicing. Serious question! Kudos to those who appreciate the relicing; to each his/her own, but seeing a NEW guitar in that condition is traumatic to me. Different strokes for different folks.
59 reissue, 4 conductor custombuckers, 4 push-pull 500kohm pots, both for in and out of phase sound, replace tuners with metal grovers and your there!!
Could buy a real minty black guard instead…
Looks like a fantastic guitar but I can’t comprehend why someone would spend 50,000 on a new copy.
cudo's to you guys for doing good coverage on Gibson even tho you're not a dealer... gives off objective vibes, and builds genuine trust for me as a potential buyer.
Good morning,, everybody!
Hope everybody has a great day today… Thanks for another great video, Casino Guitars!
Good morning! Thanks Mike!
Great job guys! Greenie was just a really good Les Paul. Take 5K, go play a ton of Les Paul's, and find that 'really good' one for you. I just saved you $45K. Now if you really want to be helpful you can buy a couple of 20K vehicles for struggling, hard-working families. One of those families is probably nurturing the next Peter Green or Eric Clapton. You're welcome.
Seriously what a waste of 45k
@@Airhead348 how’s it a waste when you can instantly sell it for more than you paid? It’s literally the complete opposite of a waste of money
Unless it’s made of gold plated hardware and some special wood there’s not a guitar I’d pay five grand for,it’s a block of wood with strings,doesn’t take an engineer to put one together and it doesn’t take a world renown artist to paint it
@@tommilitello198 I'd be inclined to agree with you these days...I fully expect to pay _up_ _to_ 3K or so for a great USA-made, but not even many acoustics would fetch 5k from me now...
@@Gramkan says who? You think these will appreciate? Are you joking?
So much money for a brand new guitar. You can have a beautiful legitimate vintage guitar that would more likely keep going up in value.
Yeah, a brand new guitar that looks like a crap so they can call it a "relic" which just means it's a FAKE. Seriously, who buys these things?
@@GilDoughtypeople with more money in their pockets than guitar picks.
I played bassoon in high school and college and spent some time around some committed musicians who had spent a lot of money on an instrument, or were planning on it.
A high end Heckle, a German brand and I’m not sure of the spelling, is easily in the tens of thousands. One of my teachers bought a used one for around $40,000 that needed work.
The guitar doesn’t have quite the hands on time as a bassoon, but the provenance and exclusivity is there, with regards to this model of LP. I wouldn’t buy it but I still think it’s somewhat reasonably priced, given the circumstances and the market.
High end brand name instruments are freaking expensive no matter what kind of instrument, and what’s higher end than a limited run Gibson custom shop?
I completely agree with you. A lot of guitarists have no concept of how expensive other types of instruments can be.
As to what is more expensive than a Gibson Custom Shop, there have been several Fender Custom Shop one-offs that actually make these (and original Bursts) look affordable. Martin has also had Custom Shop models in the $50,000 to over $100,000 price range.
I applaud you. Well said
You havent played many used guitars have you? 50,000 is outrageous. Let me see your reciepts, if you have 40,000 dollar guitars? Violins cost 1 mil. That has nothing to do with Gibson or any other electric guitar. I 50,000 dollar guitar will not make you sound any better than a 6,000 custom shop i promise!!!!
So you were in highschool band and you have a rich friend who might be a muscian. Ok? This guitar is a disgusting rip off and youre the last person that would have any understanding of why.
I get what you are saying, but in those cases you pay for 'playability'. In this case you are not paying for 'playability'. Really it is an expensive relicing job.
It should be called the $50,000 Greedy!
Naw- I can't buy a 50K guitar, but kudos to those who can, 'specially if they use some of their luck to help those in need. Even the most fortunate of us are carrying a pretty heavy chain...
Perfect im glad other people see what a joke this guitar is.
@@jamesrogers2963 wasting money and being greedy helps no one. Id be ashamed to own this guitar.
@@Airhead348 😂😂😂
@@Airhead348 It’s for those totally caught up in money status etc etc. the idiotic. Quite some percentage of us
Crazy expensive. I can't see the point. But I'm someone happy with his Squier Tele 60s custom....
If I pay 60k will they leave Hammett off the guitar case?
They'll do anything for a buck!
JC is legitimately an awesome guy. First time I met him we talked for a while, and he invited me to the Gibson Garage 1 year anniversary party this past summer. At the party, we hung almost the entire time - it was like he was trying to avoid his "CEO responsibilities" lol (in the best way possible). He brought me and my fiancé back into "the vault" and the backstage bar area with JJN and his wife, where we chilled out with some beers (and perhaps a little hipster lettuce) just being guitar nerds.
J.C. is a cool dude. Very laid back, he handed me the 1959 Les Paul back there to play. Blew my mind.
He came around to make sure things were going alright in the factory a few times especially during the crazy few months that was feb-Aug 2020. From the tornado (I was working night shift when it came through) to Covid.
I own only CS Gibsons and it took years to get to that point and I’m extremely happy with them, however $50K just isn’t worth it to me maybe bc it isn’t my favorite player or maybe because it’s another R9 5-6K does the trick to me
Fo real jus scratch it up yerself
Hey Guys, Dylan from the Garage here. Can confirm that A, most of us originals are still here! And B, that the Giraffes are aliens
Great video guys. The whole experience package is interesting. Really makes you think twice about the price on the second hand market since the experience is not included.
"Perforated so _when_ it breaks..." 🤣 I seem to recall about years ago that Gibson offered an Ace Frehley "Budokan" Les Paul, and there was a "VOS" type option, but also an aged option. I'm pretty sure they said they did in fact break and then repair the headstock. It was in the neighborhood of $14k, and I remember thinking, "Well that's a dumb option!" (Not gonna lie - I bought the Epiphone version that came out at the same time. It _didn't_ have the headstock break. I have number 32, and it's one of my favorite guitars!)
Love Gibson Garage agree how much people love the brand and guitars such an awesome team. Got to see the vault one of the most memorable music experiences for me.
I ordered my 1st Gibson les Paul standard last year from the Gibson garage and they were awesome , working with them was great love my les paul
I think I'd rather have 5 $10000 guitars! Cheers Casino!!
Rather have 25 American ultras
MOP! FACE! CASINO, CASINO, CASINO!!!!
@@wheeleratthesolarhouse3953 why???😂 one suhr one prs McCarty one custom shop a cheaper murphy lab thats only like $25k 😂
I am a lifelong Les Paul player. I lover Peter Green. I love Gary Moore. And I was a HUGE Metallica fan in the mid 80's. I have and did own over a dozen Historic Reissues. Aged, Vos and Gloss. I own an original 1952 Goldtop. Even if I had the means to I WOULD NEVER SPEND 50K on this guitar! Its ridiculous!! I bought my 52 for WAY LESS and its an original. Lawyers and attorneys and guys with too much money will buy these and store them away. They probably dont even play. This is just stupid no matter how nice the guitar is. IT BETTER BE!
I am a lawyer and in no way do I ever buy guitars over 2.5k. No need. Waste.
@@gazzy_burns give a fender custom shop a try.. I said same thing and now own three different custom shops.. there personal, play amazing and sound divine and I am a blue collar earner …I just make payments. Well worth give them a try if you get chance
Yeah and people that play Gibson USAs say that your custom shops and original 52s are collectors that don’t play. And people that play epiphones say the same about Gibsons and rinse and repeat. “I’ve wasted 10s of thousands on les Paul’s but I can’t afford this so obviously this is the only one that’s overpriced” grow up. Everything anyone buys will be looked upon as a stupid purchase by someone else, just spend money how you please.
For that price I would want genuine old PAF pickups in the guitar.
You know Gibson got some around
Even the old PAF’s aren’t that great. Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s you could buy them easily for $200-$500. I bought a bunch of them. Some were great, most weren’t. The 57 classic was superior to my ears. More consistent.
It looks so much like Greeny they did a good job.
I think the “luxury” aspect is fine especially with any company/brand. In reality, it’s just another Murphy historic reissue 2020-now. If anything I’d be more picky with weight. If it’s more than 8.5lbs then I’d say skip on this one and any other les Paul before you realize it after
Love Baxter's baby blue 'Horns' throughout this video!
"Baxter is a very dangerous man."
On these high priced items most people think it's a rich dude that buys them, but you're forgetting - credit cards. Most of this stuff is put on credit cards, not cash.
Yep.
Sure, but how many people who aren’t “rich” have credit cards with a high enough limit that they could charge $50,000 with it?
@@charlesbolton8471 A lot. Like me. If you have good credit the credit card companies heap you with credit.
The best guitar review ever where nobody played the damn guitar. No worries I love this channel you can watch while you're eating cause you won't miss anything. You guys must have some great weed. Or maybe I do. Cool guitar how does it sound😃
I’m not sure I understand where the value comes from. The guitar doesn’t have a real history or providence, I mean it’s a copy. It was manufactured with simulated wear and tear. I never have really understood the road worn and heavy relic instruments. I guess it’s for those who can spend 40k for a copy but not a million + for a real one?
If you take away the fandom isn’t it just a LP from the custom shop? It’s copied provenance so I wouldn’t image that it would be the same. But if it the same in the buyers head then ok I guess. And I thought $1,299 was hefty for my used LP.
I can see dude had enough respect to make sure and yes have a ring on. scratch it up.
Wonder how many terry made before it went back 🤣 50k for a guitar. I think the best of it, Peter Green , as I've read, I didn't know him but he said he didn't really like the guitar. Each to their own but for me it's a bit silly.
Remember that Gibson Chet Atkins they did in the late 90s or early 2000s... It was on the cover of A.M.S. and Musicians Friend for months... They were originally listed as $100k... I remember seeing the exact same photo spread on the cover a couple years later and it had come down to $90k. And even then, not knowing anything about the actual industry etc, I assumed they just hadn't sold as anticipated.
Why in the world would you purchase a reissue at the price when you can buy a real, mint, pre-CBS custom color color Fender for less? And I guarantee the vintage Fender is more usable for the real musician.
Super cool if someone wants to spend it on this guitar.. awesome but for me law of diminishing return takes effect. I have a custom shop GIBSON which took me a year of payments to pay for and it’s amazing … but how much better can this guitar be? Def not 44,000 better.. lol. Anyway hats off to those that have them and love them ..
Agree with you Scott, spend your money on what you want! You can get a really nice truck or a super old beat up f150 both with get you around. One of our good friends who bought this one is a hard working blue collar dude, started a roofing company and busts his ass and spends his hard earned money on guitars. He provides jobs and a fair living wage for his workers.
That’s amazing I completely agree that people can and should spend there duckies how they choose. Life’s short, enjoy and do what ya want not what everyone says you should…also lol curse you guys lol.. these custom shop guitars you have sold me are amazing and for me personally kinda ruined playing a standard factory built guitar.. the Custom shops are just so personal and play amazing and of course sound divine… yep. Thanks. My life will never be same. Lol
This is the second time they have released the Murphy made Greeny reproduction to the public. Last release was in 2010 and they made 125 guitars. In 2010 they made a reference to Melvin Franks, who was a previous owner of the guitar.
This time they released 50 guitars and they added a case that says Green, Moore and Hammett. Absent was Franks, who was a collector.
Great video. Super excited to see the demos. Happy Thanksgiving guys!!
Thanks! You too! Demos hit the channel over the next couple days.
Nice Murphy Lab.
Legend has it that “Greenie” has made more false notes since it belonged to its new owner than in more than fifty years of existence. RIP Gary and Peter
i didnt know you got a free nashville vacation with the guitar, thats actually kind of worth it if you resell it for 80k, well worth it
25 people in The Vault?!?! LMAO that room holds MAYBE 5 people comfortably, 10 if you squeeze. If I paid $50k and had to watch from the hallway I'd be pissed. That said it's VERY easy to see the vault. Just go in on a Friday afternoon, and 90% chance you'll see either JC or Cesar...then you just ask. If they're free, they'll usually do it. It's part of the experience that they WANT to provide to guests.
There were not 20 ppeople at the same time at the vault. Less than 10 I woulds say. They made many groups
@@ivandolz that's good to hear, and kinda what I assumed. They know what they're doing. How was the experience/ your favorite guitar in the vault??
Such a teaser to show us and never let us hear this guitar!
Always entertaining and insightful 🍻👊🏽🤘🏽
Congrats on the Chipotle coming to town.
Bought it and experienced it, I highly recommend the “experience package” as this was my second. Honestly I preferred the Korina experience better because it was smaller more access to the Gibson Brass. JC is an amazing cat that refuses to accept the accolades he so justly deserves! As per the guitar mine is a PHENOMENAL scanned clone. I have had more Murphy lab guitars in my hands than 95% of the populous and flat out this is BY FAR THEIR BEST WORK to date. Just wait until Baxter and Johnathan start uploading demos…. You will be impressed!
Are you a dentist or a personal injury lawyer?
Congrats - Enjoy!
I honestly can't tell if this is satire...
"populace"
I really want one! but I don't have 50 g's to spend, so I'm gonna hold out hopes for a demo shop release hopefully around 35-40k? y'know, a working man's guitar budget!
You can probably get one for 40k easy id be shocked if these appreciate.
Here's what you do, friend: Buy a Chibson for 300 bucks, take it to the beach and drag it through the sand for about 50 yards then throw rocks at it for ten minutes. Voila! You have a $50,000 "custom relic" guitar.
I always have to remind myself, if we were talking violins and cellos, 50k would be pretty normal for an exceptional instrument.
That said… it’s all about the experience, the story, provenance, the reputation of the builder, the history of the company at this level. Do I believe a great luthier could make as good of a guitar… yes I do. Would it be worth as much?…. Well it’s all about the experience .. the story .. the provenance … the rep……..
I have one question and one statement.
1. Does anyone know how much Gibson pays Tom Murphy?
2. I hope Gibson decides to make you guys a dealer after making the longest video that I can remember for one of their guitars.
$50K? Cool guitar, I think I’d need an extended layaway option…
Hopefully, a few of the folks that actually wind up with one of these guitars will actually be guitarists, hopefully!
As someone who has played two 1959 Gibson Les Paul's and other various Gibson's worth thousands of dollars. I can promise you that guitar isn't even worth 6k. It's sick. It looks great, but there are plenty of Gibsons lying around that will get just as good, if not better than that one, for what you are looking for. Slash's number one Les Paul wasn't even a Gibson, and two main live Les Paul's were 2nds from the Gibson factory. Keep it in perspective. ;-) Outside of all of that. That guitar is sick and looks great. Would love to hear it.
Please guys correct me if lm wrong but this particular Greeny is Extra extra special its the 50th guitar “WOW “ Someone owns the coolest Greeny Reissue on the planet…. Bet you Jason Momoa who got one of the last two left from the vault is kicking himself have you seen his ? Your right guys behold the 50th guitar that was finished by Tom Murphy himself can’t get any better ……..
Well Yeah, but, Not Even!🙄
Could you imagine the Quality of a Custom made, just for You, One of a kind 50K guitar from one of the Best Luthiers in the World.👍🥰
They can keep their meet and greet marketing BS!
Its gonna be funny to see how much people are immediately trying to flip them for once they actually get one? Im betting a minimum of $100,000, but likely the scalpers will be asking $250,000 to clear a cool $200,000. They may even ask $500,000+! It will happen for sure!
Kudos to Gibson but I'd much rather spend $50k on a real early 60's ES-335 or a 50's Goldtop w/ P90's. A good vintage Gibson will absolutely smoke that replica/copy guitar. But playing is not really the point of these replica guitars anyway. They are made to display in collections.
Hmm...hope my business attorney buys one and lets me play it when he's late to one of our meetings
I think I actually have to agree with Gibson's decision to make these available exclusively through their own store. The numbers are extremely limited and they really tried to sell this as a whole experience and refused to sell to those who they knew would immediately flip them for a profit, of course that's bound to happen in some cases but at least more of them ended up with people that actually wanted one versus someone that wanted to flip one. It would have been difficult to do this by giving them to retailers. Each retailer would have been given a single guitar in most cases and even though there are plenty of fantastic retailers out there, how many of them do you think would have been sold to friends or even employees of the shop? I have a feeling if these were given to dealers we would be seeing a much bigger proportion already up for resale at a much higher price. There are so many examples of limited items in this industry that are all scooped up immediately just for a profit by people that have no interest in keeping them. Then the people that do actually want the item have to pay more. It happens with everything from pedals to guitars.
You are missing points and have some wrong info... But thanks for the video! THere was a car in the airport to pick you up, my turn at the vault we were about 10 tops, and you could only bring a +1 to the event. Only 1. We were around 100 at the second day dinner, no more... 50x2 = 100 We were also shown a new artist release that has not being announced yet, and at the factory we spent like an hour talking to Tom Murphy. It was not a tight evening at all, I don't know who gave you that information but is not true. We were also able to take the picture from the side with Kirk. Kirk Tech was a killer he spent over 2 hours with us at the hotel and he was great. JC was indeed great.
Does polarity really matter? If baxter sticks his fingers in a european outlet does his hair go the other way?
I must be crazy cuz I keep finding great $100 guitars at pawn shops. Mmmmmm guitars...
One of my best playing guitars is a Dean Strat that I got for $150 our the door...
Did you all buy this? I didn’t think you were a Gibson dealer.
Couple of our customers went out and bought them. This one happens to be local to us!
Hey fellas
Looking forward to seeing your reviews, I just subscribed to John’s ch
Dylan is still there , just spoke to him last week, he’s my main guy I deal with , but they are all fantastic people, hell I was lucky enough to meet Mark A last time I was there 🤘🏼
$50,000 for a guitar nobody important ever touched... 🤣🤣🤣
Y'all got rocks in your head man!!!
Thanks for the review. So is it just cosmetics? The Murphy Lab guitars are interesting, but how are they different from a normal historics LP? Is it really worth X4 of a really nice historic?
House rule during performance if make a mistake play it twice so seems like was on purpose in many groups for many guitarist
I’m looking forward to hearing it🤘
I'de rather have "the fool" SG
I don't get it. How could this guitar possibly be worth 50 grand? When you buy a classic guitar, you are paying for the history. This is just a nice guitar. 5 grand, final offer.
Thanks for filling us "common folks" in on the goings on of the "rich & famous". Perhaps they could sell me a set of those pickups for my 58 reissue!
Personaly I dont feel like im missing out on a badly reliced 5k guitar.
12:30 ish.... "The wrap thing" what is that that Jonathan is talking about?
so Baxter what is the most expensive guitar that has passed through the Casino world
I’m curious, too.
I know they had Fender Custom Shop and PRS Private Stocks that were over $10,000, but I’m not sure what was their most expensive.
I'm curious, is the Tom Murphy Labs stuff actually worth it? Because he's just changing the look, Tom's got nothing to do with the sound. I'm just wondering if it's worth the extra money?
Definitely a beautiful guitar. It’s a collector piece though. Do you guys think it’s worth the price?
I would love to have one but couldn’t afford it. I’ll look forward to V2
$50k for any guitar is simply onanism.
Would love to see a comparison between this one and the Dr Nitro recreation.
In that video with phil harris the original has a second hole near the strap button ... This one does not have that ...
You could add up the price of all the guitars ive bought in 40 years and it would not add up to the cost of this guitar.
Q: What is a copy of the Mona Lisa called?
A: A counterfeit.
Never occured to you to plug it in and play it?
We'll i bought the new green magic ups from seymour Duncan.... put them in a really nice les paul , and to my feeling it comes close enough... really nice
And possible for anybody... at any budget... still works in an epiphone (although i went full bankrupt)
I don’t agree re letting the dealers sell these special one offs. They had that chance with the NG 355s and all were sold before they were actually released and one dealer who I tried to purchase one from slapped a 4 k hike on the price by way of it was one of their customers selling it. If gibson control this they can get these special instruments into the hands of people who want them - not scalpers.
So I could buy a barely used C Class Benz and a brand new les paul standard for the price of this thing??? Umm…
The giant dude in lagwagon plays the gary moore signature its like 6600
Trogly is soo jealous right now!
Without Peter it's just another marketing ploy for mugs. I don't think Gibson even tryed to clone it while it was in Peter's possession. Sorry if I've upset people but buyer beware. 👍🥃Respect to you fellas.
Let's be honest, here. It's a 10 grand guitar. The other 40 grand went to getting Kirk Hammett to spend an evening with the people who bought 'em.
I imagine most of these were bought as an investment and will never be played, pretty cool "art piece" I guess if you have the means.
Aww, I'm sorry for you guys
I mean, it'll sell, but at what cost?
No, not the $50,000, I mean a life cost. Your soul.
It will look great in a glass case on the wall
Cool guitar but may I ask who this JC guy you speak of is?
