- A fantastic sounding example of a mid '50s hollowbody featuring a trio of dog ear P-90s. The ES-5 was first introduced in '49 and was the first ES guitar to features three pickups. This particular example has a spruce top which was only done on a limited number of ES guitars in the mid '50s.
This '56 once had a Bigsby which has since been removed and replaced with an original ES-5 tailpiece. The guitar has a replica pickguard made by Joe Glaser, replacement tuners (originals in case), and a replacement bridge (original in case).

What I respect about JD is that he knows what that particular guitar (any guitar) he happens to be behind is suppose to sound like..
when JD is home, lock him in the shop, and record enough videos for the entire year please
Good idea and save
I am such a fan of jump blues and vintage guitars from that era! This sounds so good, so present and you can feel it the moment the first notes are played.
Came for the guitar, stayed for the playing. That is absolutely killer, you really don't hear that every day.
this is great. i always like to research guitars and hear them but so many people on youtube who do demos just really can't play well enough or record with no gear and you can't hear the full tone of the instrument
keep em coming!! that was incredible!! JD's a beast!! thanks for doing these vids, wish they were just a bit longer... hey i could listen to this all day :)
Love the way he dialed up that out-of-phase thing going on ....
I got to play one of these years ago and I love the sounds of those P90s!
Love this channel. Love JD's playing.
Wonderful playing. He has got the right "touch".
Getting AFTER it! I love this guitar. You play beautifully.
Ham from the sandlot has serious chops!
Finally!! An ES 5 done right! Thanks For those clean pickup choices.
Demos with distortion always ruin it for me..
I couldn't agree more.
Absolutely amazing playing and tone.....a joy to listen to.
Really great playing.
Damn that sounds good, out of all the guitar demoer's your setup sound the best, the clearest, and the highest quality!
I would love to hear some personality and I'd love to hear the people playing these instruments talk about them
But hey, awesome!
I'd give my left ball for that ES5, and the right one to play like JD. killer my friend.
David Wainwright this comment made me laugh pretty hard.. I thought, maybe this fella JD no longer has a left or a right testacle (jokes, I'm sure they are fine!!) 😂😂😂
Nicely done sir. :)
Gorgeous!
Killer roots vocabulary with the right tool. Dig it!
Oh boy... that was good.
Simply Awesome! 👌🏼
JD Simo Rules
Ohh my... so good and fluffy :-)
WOW 😮
This dude has it.
Would love to her JD on some Western Swing.
Yeah Man
Jeeeezuz... the guy loves to dig in on a LP and Plexi on 10, but he can play any freekin thing. Nice T Bone style. What an ear.
❤killer sound
T Bone Walker style, homie!!
First time i hear an ES5 sound good on video
You missed T Bone Walker playing his ES5 in Europe with Clarke Terry and Dizzy Gillespie in the mid 50s'.
@@willoutlaw4971 That's true, sorry, i was not born yet, and i regret it. Joke aside, this type of guitar is rarely as well put in sonic perspective
@@pandorski35000 meanwhile the paf model all sounded majestic 😂
I have the same guitar.. kiddin
This is rediculous. You deserve the number of views freakin' Agnesi is getting.
Thank you!! Share it on the socials :)
Pannemat. They'll get there. Takes time. A little info about the guitars would help. Just enough so we know what we are hearing
Pannemat nooo! They can't know about this honey hole!!
Agnesi is a different style - I watch him more for the background that he presents on the guitars and his own personality.
Mr Simo is a truly fine player, although Mr Agnesi does well also.
Could you imagine if Agnesi did the narrating and then when it was time to actually play the guitars he did videos like Carter does? (With phenomenal players) omg that would be the most amazing channel EVER. I hardly ever stick around to watch Mark play anymore. I love his personality though.
Would like to hear someone go through all five pickup combinations here through an amp that isn’t overdriven/distorted, to get a better sense of its tones. Some jazz chord comping. Some blues stuff. Some country stuff. Maybe even some folky Americans fingerstyle arpeggios- you know- someone who can and will flesh out the full sonic capability of the guitar via various styles, in a demo of the guitar.
Hell Yeah man this is tasty
JD what is your amp setting...thank you And please say hello to Walter and your shipping guy Jesse (I think it’s his name) I purchased 2 Calton case from your shop as well as t-shirts
Ooh wee
T Bone Tone!
Who else whishes he would look like he did a couple years ago?
who cares what he looks like, he's a guitarist, not a model
Chromatick well good looks would attract more people to discover his talent, so its not an unreasonable wish
He doesn't need
"discovering", that is a word for people with not enough talent who's focus is fame, and not there for the music. 15 yr old girls with their hair and make up on, lip-syncing on youtube is "trying to be discovered" . Last time I saw him was over 15 years ago, he was still a teenager. I don't care how people look, its how they sound. He played his ass off then and he plays his ass off now. If you're a true artist, you don't want people to come to your shows to look at you, you want them to come and feel the music.
coming from 2021 …well can't say I don't want him to look a bit healthier
