Crazy to think about the 80’s when guys were playing Kramer’s and superstrats. Les Paul’s were like old man guitars, and (in my memory) Slash really made ‘em cool again. Guitar players are a funny bunch, me included. We sometimes attribute a lot to things that are pretty trivial. Love all the classic guitar styles, but won’t ever spend enough money to buy a house on any guitar haha. Thanks for watching!
Very true. I taught guitar throughout this period and saw a shift in the guitars my younger students wanted towards Les Pauls. Indirectly Slash pumped thousands into Gibson. Possibly ironic since his main one was a copy.
@ That blew me away when I found out the Appetite guitar was a luthier built replica. Talk about irony haha! Reminds me of when I learned LED Zep 1 was all telecaster, mind blown 😂
@ I can’t remember the name of the luthier that made that guitar, but I remember reading his builds sell for bank because they’re so good. Definitely wasn’t a Chibson! 😂
@ I don’t blame ya, I run my mouth too much, and the slow southern thing can make my delivery painful for some folks haha. I appreciate you using technology to offset my shortcomings 😂
Funny how nobody wanted the old Les Paul's until they were popularized in the late 60s by very talented musicians. Sales were actually so low Gibson was barely above water through the 70s and 80s. It's important to remember that an expensive instrument never made anyone play better and those talented people who made them popular learned on cheaper guitars. It's all perceived value.
Just knowing the price doesn't determine the value. You know what makes Bursts worth what they cost? The fact that you can hang on to it and sell it later for more money. And nobody is twisting anyone's arm to buy them. And anyone with a lick of sense knows that water and electronic components don't mix.
Gibsons and to some degree Fenders are unique in that they will hold their value (as far as mass produced brands go). When it comes down to it, a guitar or anything else is worth whatever someone will pay for it haha. In that sense a lot of players/collectors that have that kind of $$$ can and will pay bank for the vintage stuff. I just hope they go to someone who will truly enjoy them. I don’t know where the “condensation on the pots” thing originated. First I heard of it was on the video I was referencing. Pretty funny. Sometimes guitar players, myself included, can get fixated on minute or even asinine stuff 😂
I'll bet when the Dark Lord was summoned and then asked to make a Les Paul sound better, he was taken aback a bit! Must've been quite a refreshing request for the old demon! 😄
I grew up in west Michigan, I'm a old guitarist and have played most of the burst back when they were fairly new. Its the same as today some good some crap. It's always been the luck of the draw
Wise words. That’s pretty dang cool that you were playing guitar when these “vintage darlings” were new! Your experience confirms it, all guitars are a sum of there parts. There will always be variance that make some guitars not that great and some bangers. If you’re still up north, stay warm my friend. I’m breaking out the long johns and down south we don’t get anywhere near the low temps compared to where you’re from. You still playing after all these years? Thanks for watching!
All jokes aside, I grew up playing (and still have) a ‘73 SG. Some folks would scoff at the ‘Norlin era’ Gibsons, but that guitar is very special to me. Gibson rubbed me the wrong way back when they did the ‘play authentic’ elitist thing, but that’s water under the bridge. I’m actually happy the LP Studio’s and Tributes are priced back down on the used market where a middle class kid like I was can have a Gibson. I Only have one Gibson LP now, but every one I’ve ever had was awesome.
My Dad told me that when I was just a young fella. He also said if he put my brain in a hummingbird, it would fly backwards up a mule’s a$$. 🤷♂️ But seriously, would you turn down the opportunity to take a run at your pots with Satanic deoxit? 😂
It's like it should've been invented around the time of your black magic-induced humidified electronic cleaner. I truly believe you're correct about the spray, but I think you have knowledge to create the mix coveted spray can! By the way, have a very Happy New Year, sir!
LOL. I thought about trying to figure out how to recreate the Satanic Deoxit. The next day, I woke up and my Slayer Reign in Blood CD was under my pillow. Scared me away from dabbling any deeper into the occult knowledge 😂😂😂
Haha! I’m scared to death of the headstock break potential. Sometimes I look at my Les Paul almost like I expect it to just explode off LOL. Thanks for watching!
Oh, man! That would be the ghost of Crowley who put that there! You're right to be scared. Well, if you need me I'll be working in the shed near the Crowley house. He doesn't seem to ever bother me over there...?
You know, I’m not sure. I always see the big yellow caps being touted as “vintage tone magic” but I think orange drops have been around for a long time. No doubt someone with some vintage guitar expertise could tell us for sure. Thanks for watching!
Too many guitarists are pseudo antique dealers. I think they believe rarity confers / projects something upon them we're supposed to admire. It's all BS.
Thanks a bunch! Love getting some Canadian Seasons greetings for this redneck from way down south 😂 I understand waiving off YT. All the social media BS can certainly get in the way of enjoying life. Happy soon to be new year, and thanks again!
This entire scam has exposed Nashville.ask yourself,who pays $650 thousand for ANY GUITAR?no homework?a flimsy backstory about a third string guitar player?I meant be honest IF YOU NEED A GUITAR COSTING THAT MUCH, PERHAPS ITS YOUR PLAYING THAT NEEDS HELP...JESUS HOW DO YOU WASTE THAT MUCH MONEY AND STILL SHOW YOUR FACE?AS PLAYERS AND BUYERS WE NEED UNDERSTAND THIS IS A DIRTY BUSINESS.PERIOD.
Hot take! Haha. I don’t have any negative feelings towards guys like Bukavac, Isabel, Bonamassa etc. On one hand, I’m glad they’re actually playing the old “holy grails” rather than seeing them hoarded like museum pieces. But, I definitely get the distain for the prices being what they are. When it comes down to it, I hate seeing Gibson selling 20k repro’s Kind of like Adam Jones’s limited silverburst. Tool is one of my favorite bands, and that guitar is unobtainable for me. Even if I had that much $$$, I wouldn’t drop it on ANY guitar.

slash played a well made copy

Hahaha. The payoff around 6:30. Is brilliant
Awesome! Sometimes my slow-talk gets too long winded😂thanks for watching and hanging in there for the punchline!
@GuitarVacation full disclosure, I was watching on 1.5x speed lol. Good luck with the channel.
@ I don’t blame ya, I run my mouth too much, and the slow southern thing can make my delivery painful for some folks haha. I appreciate you using technology to offset my shortcomings 😂
Boleskine House is the name of the manor Pagey bought that was Crowley's. Great video man. Hahahaha, I NEED THAT DEOXIT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My man coming through with the deep lore!! Glad you found my video, you’ve been keeping me entertained for weeks now 😂

Oh! Well I thank you for that. And thanks for joining the 'Tone Pot Crazy Train' All aboard!
You bet, I’m passenger #1. RIP Randy Rhodes, and heal fast Jake E. Lee 😂😂😂😂 No hate for Zack Wylde, he’s got them glorious pentatonics 💪💪💪

Just subscribed. Hello from Huntington West Virginia
Awesome! Glad to have ya. West VA is my kinda folks ! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Only a Gibson is good enough. Love mine.
All jokes aside, I grew up playing (and still have) a ‘73 SG. Some folks would scoff at the ‘Norlin era’ Gibsons, but that guitar is very special to me.

I meant to say 'the next coveted spray can'.
This guy is Nucking Futz....

I'm told that a Les Paul is not considered vintage until it has had a head stock repair!
Haha! I’m scared to death of the headstock break potential. Sometimes I look at my Les Paul almost like I expect it to just explode off LOL.
Thanks for watching!
Ask VOYXU about my handmade Tone Pot Humidifiers! I make them in the shed near the Crowley house!
Hahaha! Dude how do I invest in this game ingenious endeavor?? Hilariously Awesome!!
and now we know! :)
You can trust me to provide pertinent and accurate information 😂
Oh, man! That would be the ghost of Crowley who put that there! You're right to be scared. Well, if you need me I'll be working in the shed near the Crowley house. He doesn't seem to ever bother me over there...?
😂😂😂😂 I put the “Circle of Enoch” around the shed the last time I was there. Figured since I’m investing I should add some protection LOL.
Hahahaha!
Thanks for watching and having a sense of humor! We gotta have fun with our guitar player lore. I know I’m guilty of ‘guitar-isms’ sometimes 😂
Didn't the older Gibsons have Sprague orange drops on the pots?
You know, I’m not sure. I always see the big yellow caps being touted as “vintage tone magic” but I think orange drops have been around for a long time.
No doubt someone with some vintage guitar expertise could tell us for sure.
Thanks for watching!
also condensation will make your pot moldy and yucky.
I see what ya did there, the old double entendres LOL. Funny stuff, Thanks for watching!
Too many guitarists are pseudo antique dealers. I think they believe rarity confers / projects something upon them we're supposed to admire. It's all BS.
“Pseudo antique dealers” funny stuff. I wish all the super expensive vintage guitars got played and appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
What a fantastic video have a great day also happy holiday season from Canada and also I will quit UA-cam in 2025❤😊

SatanDeOxit infused pots. That explains everything! Great laugh! I needed that. Been tense on the Internet lately.
@ Ha! Thanks for watching and appreciating my off sense of humor. The interwebz is serious business 😂

Sorry, I know I run my mouth too much, and speak in slow southern red neck 😂
