Jamie Horne Let me know if it works! I tried that once in the days before youtube and "how to" videos, completely f'd my guitar up (which was a shitty cheap fender anyway, but still)
@@NatterNet Actually adding a killswitch on a guitar is a rather simple modification. You just need to solder the 2 wires of the switch to the 2 wires of the output jack of the guitar regardless of the order. When you press the switch it shorts the output and there's no signal coming out. Added one on my Ibanez. Works with no issues. Thanks for the great video, although I do not agree about acoustic guitars being less cool))
YES!! Excellent! I spent bloody ages trying to find that banjo, was sure it started with an F but never came across a Framus, just a bunch of Fenders. Woo!!
I saw him play a show in Santa Barbara California in a little hole in the wall bar with a Guild SG style guitar. It still had the hang tag on the headstock. Somewhere I’m sure I still have the show I recorded. That was the night I actually met him and had a long conversation. One of the the best nights of my life.
Great little history lesson as you show a nice timeline of Buckethead's music career. I am one of the lucky ones that has seen him live several times before the stint with guns and roses. And then after with increased fan attendance. Many of the concert goers were dumbfounded that he could wear the mask through the whole show and be able to play so fluently and shredmazing. It is just incredible dedication that he has stayed in character for so long. But his versatility exceeds his character. Triple amazing.... Woo!!!
Being a Humungous Fan I had to rush to be front row and center at the Token Lounge in Westland Michigan April 27th, 2019 ! & It luckily was a small venue and that amazing day too my birthday gift that I will truly treasure forever as my favorite to remember as I actually got to touch that beautiful white Gibson Les Paul & the red killer switch on the bottom of his guitar that he so sweetly let all of us fans in the front row touch and omgosh that truly was such a mindblowing concert ! It truly was a huge surreal moment in time in my life for a dream to truly come true and I could have died happy just seeing him/ Buckethead but also of course hearing his awesome riffs and shreds and after being mesmerized and hypnotized that truly was the best gift, concert and experience ever!!!!🎶👊❤
The 1999 devil dub band 'green strat' is a Vigier, they are a french company most likely (for Americans) known for working with Shawn Lane. It looks like Buckethead is using one of the Excalibur models, and noting their rare American appearances he was probably shown the company's gear by Lane.
Yeah good spot man, someone else said that too. He must have got it the same time he got the Vigier bass (mentioned in the vid). Wonder why he only used it live once or twice.
Yeah a few people have said its a Vigier, I'm not sure if its the actual Shawn signature series tho, think they put that out a bit later. But highly likely he used it because of Shawn being an endorser/player of them. Woo!!
You really got me good with Herbie out of nowhere haha. Love this channel, truly. Thank you for all the effort you put into covering one of the all-time greats
Unknown emerald green guitar is probably an early 90's ESP Horizon (not all ESP's have their logo on 12th fret) with erased logo on headstock. Lower horn is definitely a Horizon.
The guitar featured on the shows with Ben Wa (and perhaps the 'Devil Dub' album itself) was a Vigier Excalibur...the same guitar Shawn Lane endorsed before his untimely passing.
Not only was I in attendance the evening of 30 April 1997 when he opened for Helborg/Lane/Sipe at Wetlands, NYC, I had the fortune of meeting him backstage after the show. That said, I will always have fond memories of his purple, neck-thru ESP. -He even signed my ticket stub with a character of himself...photo upon request.- Cheers, B
Love that Gibson the most, and it looks like an albino ocean creature. My first guitar was a purple/pearl Kramer in 1987. Thank you, thank you Natter. wooooooo! ( I always say woo but it's longer woooooooh)
"Albino Ocean Creature" haha how is that not the name of a Buckethead song?!...and you can't extend the Woo to more than two oo's or it becomes a Ric Flair haha Woo!!
I have seen the ESP "Air Jordan" hanging in the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, FL. It used to be on the casino floor. There was a large circular bar at the center of the casino floor, which had spiral ramps going up the sides to the bar about 6 feet higher than the casino floor. The Air Jordan was in a case (likely the one picture) as you went up one of the spiral ramps. That was probably about 10 years ago thought that I saw it there. The new guitar shaped hotel/casino only opened a few months before COVID-19 shutdowns, so, I haven't been there recently. Likely going to be hard to find unless you ask someone or do a lot of searching, because they have guitars and memorabilia everywhere in that hotel....to/from parking garages, hotel lobby, Hard Rock Cafe restaurant, on casino floor, etc.
i love all of his guitars but his heartfield talon 2 and his air jordan and his white gibson guitars are my most favorite i can't decide over them which i like more but all his guitars are awesome no wrong choices at all
I believe this is a Framus banjo. Ok, I see someone confirmed that already. Anyway, great video! I am waking up in 5hours but still watching Buckethead video's at night...
Yeah man, so glad people spotted that. I had an idea it started with an F but all google wanted to show me was Fender Banjos haha...and thanks for watching late at night, its the only way to do it haha Woo!!
@@NatterNet I remember (well sorta) that ages ago someone made a banjotar (if not mistaken) that was a six string banjo tuned like a guitar (surprise, surprise!) made to appeal to guitar players. I'm not 100% sure that Framus was the original but if not they obviously jumped on the bandwagon, small as it was. Funny that it never caught on seeing how popular the banjo is in Djent these days ;) ...yeah it's late and I'm just making corny comments. Great video as always and really enjoyed it.
Great story about that sunburst strat. Shawn lane was present at that show and the reason he played it is because Shawn got it for like 70 bucks in a guitar store. He made buck play it to prove that you should be able to shred on anything. As shawn would often show up to shows without a guitar and buy a cheap one before. You can still see the price tag strings hanging off the headstock.
Yes, Shawn was at the Wetlands show with Bucket. Cool story about Shawn getting it, where's it from? never heard it before and always like to verify this stuff.
@@NatterNet I read it about 17 years ago on binge and grab or some forum site. Someone had linked a bunch of scanned magazine articles and that tale was one of them. I will dig around to see if I can find them. They will probably be on archive sites.
Its hard to imagine Shawn wanting to "test" Buckethead after knowing him for about 5 years already, seems silly and seems unlikely they would've made that public anyway. Buckethead also used the strat for around 2 weeks after that when shawn wasn't even at the gigs anymore (iron horse being one of the shows filmed). And leaving the label on the guitar is something he's done with other guitars, notably his double neck and acoustics. But if the article exists and you find it and its written by someone reputable I'll believe it.
That, backyard party he's playing at was a normal, thing in and around LA in the 80s. According to Randy Rhoads, that was one of the main gigs bands tried to get back then. The backyard parties were IT according to Randy. So, it makes sense to see Bucket at one.
I don't know too much about guitars, but I certainly know that the instrument has never sounded better than in the hands of Buckethead, so much fun information you find, one of the coolest here is that Buckethead's brother plays as well, just think, if the Sisters sing, they could start a band called the Pentamerous Slunks, wickedly awsome vid, Woo !
Thankyou, friend. A buckethead family band would be awesome, Im sure they play too, but in the video I meant that Travis Dickerson said that Buckethead used his brothers guitar, as in Travis' brothers not Buckets. "Pentamerous Sunks" haha perfect!! Woo!!
Thankyou, friend. Song is 'In Search of the, Volume 2, Track 5, fan named as 'Blue Marbles Moon' (horrible title haha). Its playing throughout the whole vid. Woo!!
The solid white Gibson man.. it’s just too damn sexy. And it’s his signature at this point basically. It’s literally the sound of rock with that guitar.
What pickups does Buckethead use in his person white les Paul's post-2009? I've heard different things; gibson 496r and 500t pickups like the production models, dimarzio tone (bridge) and dimarzio air norton (neck) or air norton (bridge) and tone zone (neck). Which is right?
I think because that footage isn't verified as actually being Buckhead. It probably is him, but it's unconfirmed according to a video I just watched about him.
@@damienhelmold6978 you can't identify him by a vein. It probably isn't him for a real easy reason - he is performing without a mask. Regardless, buckethead doesn't want us to see behind the bucket and who are we to deny the will of a God?
That green one could be a custom shop esp horizon with pre lawsuit head, doesn’t explain the no logo but it wasn’t uncommon to have different inlays on custom models
The person who bought it messaged me with pics of it ages and ages ago and for the life of me I can't find it. Was that you? I think his name was Robert.
Sweeet! If you talk to him, ask if he'll resend the pics, wanted to put it in this vid but just couldnt find the damn email. I remember B drew on it too, right?
I'll throw my hat into the ring. I'm guessing that the mystery 6:02 guitar is either some form of Carvin or an ESP Horizon. I lean more toward the ESP side because I can't make out if there are super complex controls which are usually indicative of a carvin, plus while the esp 12th fret inlay is common, it's not absolutely necessary and you can find some without it. Plus, unlike ESP's M-1, it has a carved body (which you can see in the video due to the light) The Truss Rod Cover is also dead on esp. you can look at 90s horizons and see the one on this mystery guitar.
I believe more and more that this is some sort of Refinished ESP. That would explain the lack of logo, but all of the ESP features, as the ESP Truss Rod cover looks identical, and ESP had to change their headstock due to a cease and desist from Jackson Guitars in around.. 1990 or so? If this thing isn't an ESP i will eat a pair of pants.
Big B is a natural for the Les Paul.With those ridiculously long fingers of his,the wide neck of a Les is perfect for him. That studio Les PAUL special addition has a hollow box within the body,giving it a sound similar to Gibson’s ESS semi-hollow body guitars.I personally like the sound of that guitar best.
Thankyou, friend. I wish when he released all those Pikes that he put out some info with them, its one of the things I love about all the old albums, that they had a booklet with info and the who's and when's and why's. Now its just songs and obscure album titles...more mysteries wrapped in mysteries haha Woo!!
YES!! I NEED to know what he did with that original white Gibson he got.. mods? he had the pickup selector up top in the mars soundtrack video.. mad mods :) fucking beautiful, we
December 89 Guitar Player Magazine with Brian Carroll at 1:25? With Keith Richards on the cover? I'll have to grab that on eBay. I swear I had that issue, but over time, it looks like I don't have that one anymore. I still have a bunch from that era, but looks like it has disappeared from my collection.
@6:36 I'm pretty sure thats an ESP or possibly their budget line, LTD. I have one in the exact same color and finish, but with more pickups. It is "usa inspected" import model. Plays very nice, great action for its day.
That green guitar is an ESP that may be a 48th street custom. It has the" lawsuit "Jackson style headstock ESP used in the 80s before they were sued. Its probably an M1 or Horizon 1. Not all ESPs have the inlay at the 12th fret especially 48st customs or Japanese market ones.
If you wanna see one the same google ESP horizon 1987. (dont look for the modern 87 reissue) Buckets guitar is strange as it has no headstock logo which leads me to think it was an ESP made at 48st customs in NYC

NatterNet Buckethead Hey
NatterNet Buckethead I want a Signature Gibson but I cannot afford one that comes up on ebay
NatterNet Buckethead Or I could add a kill switch to my current guitar

I, personally, love his white signature Gibson
The only white guitar I’d like to own for myself. Don’t normally like white guitars.
Mine is that white Jackson King V.
It's probably the thickest bodied les paul out there with hot rodded pickups and a kill switch!
So does everyone else, that’s why a used one with cracks and chips everywhere is 10k when they sold for wha, $800 new?
I am a fan of the all white signature gibson, it fit his style very well. But I also loved the Jackson V stage. Very monumental guitar all on its own
Please Epiphone, release a Buckethead size Les Paul.
That would be schweeet!...And affordable!...And probably better than a Chibson haha Woo!!
well I feel like at this pt Buckethead is too niche now that its been a while Buckethead was in a mainstream, big-time band..... but one can only hope
In a lefty🎸😎
U want the real Gibson, trust me...just fork out the cash...pick & play a few b4 purchase...
@@ep8470 Yeah ok, I have 7-8K for a Buckethead Gibson..lolol
Blue Marbles Moon is a good song choice for such a lengthy video. This video was very well put together. 👍
Thank you my good, man (and for the intro on Drowned Boys vid). Big Woo's for the BD. Woo!!
Took me like 2 months to find out the song
thanks I was searching this song
Is it just that one whole song throughout in the background?
That's a Framus six string banjo. Awesome video Natternet. Woo!
YES!! Excellent! I spent bloody ages trying to find that banjo, was sure it started with an F but never came across a Framus, just a bunch of Fenders. Woo!!
@@NatterNet Very likely tuned like a guitar.
@@PatCrowe Yep.
I have a '56 Framus Electric 6 string guitar, funky face plate in colored bakelite.
Framus Texan Banjo more specifically; production apparently ended in 1977. Keep up the awesome work, NatterNet.

Great little history lesson as you show a nice timeline of Buckethead's music career.
I am one of the lucky ones that has seen him live several times before the stint with guns and roses. And then after with increased fan attendance.
Many of the concert goers were dumbfounded that he could wear the mask through the whole show and be able to play so fluently and shredmazing.
It is just incredible dedication that he has stayed in character for so long. But his versatility exceeds his character. Triple amazing.... Woo!!!
It's not just a mask..
It's a statement.. To the man.
The sound he produces on the (amplified) acoustic guitars, especially on that Takamine, is phenomenal. I never heard anything like it.
You deserve money for these videos, doing gods work man
Whatever bucket heads playing, I’m listening, can’t wait til he comes around again
I love him his style and personality. Hes entertaining as hell.
Damn right . Woo!!
Buckethead proves that the speed of sound is faster than the speed of light
Hell yeah! Well said.

so what exactly is the Kramer? a Kramer "focus"...sorry I don't know all the models they had./ Just curious. thanks!
Hard to pintpoint the exact model,looks to be a 1984 one, but definitely not certain.
👍.Very interesting..Gibson& Buckethead a PERFECTmatch &a long time coming.
10:45 😮😮😮😮 he looks so arfggffbjdd!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Thanks, gray video!!!
What pickups does Buckethead use in his person white les Paul's post-2009?
I've heard different things; gibson 496r and 500t pickups like the production models, dimarzio tone (bridge) and dimarzio air norton (neck) or air norton (bridge) and tone zone (neck). Which is right?
The green one he never played live is a carvin possibly a proto type which would explain no name on the headstock or it was refinished
Was watching and came here to say this!
Im convinced buckethead is not human, you ever notice that he is the only “human” that can play his own songs.
The band with Patton is called Moonraker.
Correct
this was a really well done video :)
1:48 "and let's never speak of this footage again."
W...why not??
I think because that footage isn't verified as actually being Buckhead. It probably is him, but it's unconfirmed according to a video I just watched about him.
@@janX9 bro has the vein on his hand that is 10000 percent buckethead
Probably because he shows his face.
@@damienhelmold6978 ummm. *EVERYONE* has veins on their hands. That's basic human anatomy. That isn't confirmation of anything.
@@damienhelmold6978 you can't identify him by a vein. It probably isn't him for a real easy reason - he is performing without a mask. Regardless, buckethead doesn't want us to see behind the bucket and who are we to deny the will of a God?
Question, how did the headstock break on that guitar? is that why he dropped it? or did it break when he dropped it?
It broke when he dropped it.
The "green strat"is a vigier Excalibur
Yes, Same brand and similar to the guitar that Shawn Lane was using at that time.
The 6was9 strat was the Jimi mirror tribute strat. Best Jimi strat fender ever put out’
That green one could be a custom shop esp horizon with pre lawsuit head, doesn’t explain the no logo but it wasn’t uncommon to have different inlays on custom models
THANKS INDEED TRULY! buckethead was 1 of my FOUR SIDE of THE WORLD!..
22:14 i had this guitar in my hands 🙂
The person who bought it messaged me with pics of it ages and ages ago and for the life of me I can't find it. Was that you? I think his name was Robert.
@@NatterNet not me, but a friend of mine - Robert is correct. 🙂
Sweeet! If you talk to him, ask if he'll resend the pics, wanted to put it in this vid but just couldnt find the damn email. I remember B drew on it too, right?
I'll throw my hat into the ring.
I'm guessing that the mystery 6:02 guitar is either some form of Carvin or an ESP Horizon.
I lean more toward the ESP side because I can't make out if there are super complex controls which are usually indicative of a carvin, plus while the esp 12th fret inlay is common, it's not absolutely necessary and you can find some without it. Plus, unlike ESP's M-1, it has a carved body (which you can see in the video due to the light)
The Truss Rod Cover is also dead on esp. you can look at 90s horizons and see the one on this mystery guitar.
I believe more and more that this is some sort of Refinished ESP. That would explain the lack of logo, but all of the ESP features, as the ESP Truss Rod cover looks identical, and ESP had to change their headstock due to a cease and desist from Jackson Guitars in around.. 1990 or so? If this thing isn't an ESP i will eat a pair of pants.
Hey Gibson, make the Buckethead guitars again !! I want to buy and it's no longer possible !!! Damn
Yeah!! They need to take inspiration from Chibson!
Big B is a natural for the Les Paul.With those ridiculously long fingers of his,the wide neck of a Les is perfect for him.
That studio Les PAUL special addition has a hollow box within the body,giving it a sound similar to Gibson’s ESS semi-hollow body guitars.I personally like the sound of that guitar best.
Great video as always, Natter! Don't forget the unknown whammy bar guitar used extensively on Pike 11!
Thankyou, friend. I wish when he released all those Pikes that he put out some info with them, its one of the things I love about all the old albums, that they had a booklet with info and the who's and when's and why's. Now its just songs and obscure album titles...more mysteries wrapped in mysteries haha Woo!!
Duuude I love your background music
YES!! I NEED to know what he did with that original white Gibson he got.. mods? he had the pickup selector up top in the mars soundtrack video.. mad mods :) fucking beautiful, we
Yes! And throw in that KFC Jackson too! Must be hanging up in his slaughterhouse somewhere...i mean, uh...bedroom. Woo!!
Took me a while to find you, sorry ... incredible video! The amount of work, unbelievable, thank you so much! Btw you're German?
Thank you, friend. Glad you found your way to Bucketheadland! No, not german. Born in UK, left in 2015 haha Woo!!
December 89 Guitar Player Magazine with Brian Carroll at 1:25? With Keith Richards on the cover? I'll have to grab that on eBay. I swear I had that issue, but over time, it looks like I don't have that one anymore. I still have a bunch from that era, but looks like it has disappeared from my collection.
The Coopwood is my favorite 🎸🎶 idk what it is about it but I have always loved it ❤
We need to find it and steal it! We can each share it 6 months of the year. Wo!!
@6:36 I'm pretty sure thats an ESP or possibly their budget line, LTD. I have one in the exact same color and finish, but with more pickups. It is "usa inspected" import model. Plays very nice, great action for its day.
Also, at the end those are banjotars, aka 6-string banjos. Not to be confused with actual banjos with 5 strings, (4 long, one short).
That green guitar is an ESP that may be a 48th street custom. It has the" lawsuit "Jackson style headstock ESP used in the 80s before they were sued. Its probably an M1 or Horizon 1. Not all ESPs have the inlay at the 12th fret especially 48st customs or Japanese market ones.
If you wanna see one the same google ESP horizon 1987. (dont look for the modern 87 reissue) Buckets guitar is strange as it has no headstock logo which leads me to think it was an ESP made at 48st customs in NYC
