      I've heard it called "economy of motion" and it only comes with vast amounts of playing time. All of the best players have it to some degree. The easier they make it look, the harder it likely is to play in my experience.

    Saw video of Mark in Fearless Flyers. He just makes you want to go buy a baritone guitar. Rhett, you can definitely see how diverse your playing experiences have been over the last five years or so. There’s an ease in your playing that wasn’t there before. That’s not a mediocre player commenting above my pay grade, just a music listener and viewer who notices things.

    I wholeheartedly agree on your text about and take on Mark Letterie in the intro - he's the _hottest_ pro player of our time for me as well, definitely already some sort of living legend, versed in many styles, incredible fluency and impeccable time, clarity and cleanness of tone I find second to none and a consummate, 100% _musical_ musician through and through! Definitely a "hero" on the instrument for me as well as he impressively demonstrates with his jazzy riffing here on the ES-175. Great video and very cool of you to have taken him prior to the concert! Awesome stuff!

    Big House is, with out a doubt, my "if I hit the lottery" store. They have so much amazing stuff in there (like that Lemmy Marshall Bass stack), but it's definitely not a 'run in and grab a new guitar' store. The staff in there is top notch as well and very personable. When Onorato had both my G&L's in for service, I came VERY close to pulling the trigger on an early 90s G&L bass in there.
    The new space they're in now is SO much better than their old space over in Decatur. It also makes it very easy to hit up them, the ATL Guitar Center, and Atlanta Discount in one trip.

    Hello Rhett, I think it's the first time I write to you, :)
    I am French Québécois, so My 'Englishe' is not that secure! :) )
    I totally understand your falling in love with the 175!
    Mine is a 1958, or '63, nobody's sure' it could even be a '68... with PAF pick-ups, 'Z' shaped string holder and the finish on the body is a bit crackled and almost non existant on the neck !
    Same sunburst as the one you show on the VDO.
    Just beautiful!
    It has been very well played and meticously maintained, but long time ago, more than 40 years in fact, I decided that she would grow old with me, I'll be 70 next july, and we both, the guitar and me, have a nice, well played patina! :)
    She's my lady, and I whish you can go for this one.
    Yes they come at a price, and they need a bit more TLC than a Les Paul or a Tele/Strat, but the satisfaction we get from these instrument is so full, so inspiring.... worth every penny!
    Thanks man, I really enjoy your VDOs.

    Couple years ago, I found a heavily modified 58 es-125. The body, paint, p90, and the pickguard were original and practically nothing else. The bridge pickup is a patent number from the 60s, it has a bigsby, grover tuners were added, a toggle switch was added, and 2 knobs were added for the bridge pickup. It does that out of phase thing as well, it is a stellar blues guitar.

    I didn’t know a 4x15 existed! And the guitar through the Leslie sounded like an organ at the very beginning, which I love!

    My brother has a vintage ES-175, and it is amazing to say the least. It's all original, made in 1964, and in great shape. It has the wooden bridge, and split inlays just like the one in the video. It has a single patent sticker humbucker, but it's not at the bridge position, it's at the neck but lower than where a neck pickup is usually placed. It's the only Gibson model I've ever seen like that. (Though I wouldn't be surprised to find out there's more) Sounds great and has the best neck I've ever played, nice and thin. Back when I was a beginner, I wasn't supposed to touch it. Of course, that forbidden fruit made it so much more tempting. That was the guitar I was using at the time when things started to come together for me as a guitarist. When thing started to gel, become second nature, and I realized this was something that I can get good at. Dare I say, I might even have a talent for. That was when I fell in love with the guitar. So, that ES-175, and all ES-175s actually, will always have a special place in my heart.

    Hey Rhett, would love to see a video discussing the differences in wax potted pickups vs unpotted pickups
