Nearly £1000 pound for a signed sticker!? Gibson certainly know how to charge. The Mustaine is a belting looking geetar and the querky 24 frets is nothing shy of awesome but the price... not one for me. As always with the Andertons vids great playing, wicked sound and entertaining. Keep up the top work folks.
Did Gibson actually believe Mustaine’s own hype?! If I had that ludicrous amount of money I’d actually prefer to place a bet that this will go down as one of the worst selling Gibson acoustic guitars of all time.
I’m sure they are “authentic” and I do have a soft spot for an LG2 but I’d struggle to buy one of these over many other brands for similar money. Gibson acoustics do seem better made than their electric counterparts which are just a joke.
Oohh...a square in a circle? Or "Quadrat im Kreis" which is my favourite German punk song by the band Wizo!! Wonder what Jerry Cantrell is trying to imply by having that peculiar pickguard... 🤔
Did you happen to measure the action heights on these? I own both the Rateliff and Cantrell ones. The Rateliff came with super low action (with no buzz), but the Cantrell is quite a bit higher. I believe it's 7/64 at the Low E string, whereas the Rateliff is around 4.5/64. I can't decide if i should try to lower the Cantrell action height. I love low action guitars.
Not the first brand I would go to for an acoustic. Not sure anything beats the value of the higher end Faith's for sound, build quality & ease of playing. Just show me the Les Paul's & 335s though......
Like most of the comments I agree I'm not a fan of these 3 Artists Signature Gibsons.. It's no secret that Gibson had a rough road for few years.. But the new Gibson Acoustics being made are really really good.. Hopefully people won't just judge Gibson over these 3 Artists guitars. My main weapon is a 2014 Gibson Advanced Jumbo and its seriously Unbelievable!!
I think artist series guitars electric and acoustics have become this thing, Where Companies put out cool guitars not necessarily guitars that the artist play. But just guitars that look cool and are way overpriced unless you just have that much to throw at one of these instruments .. and they are calling them artist series.. don’t get me wrong i think it’s cool .. I’m just saying that’s Where we are at today
Wrong... NR Western Gibson... is not a sitka spruce top it is a red spruce top!... But the way you slay a guitar.. who cares!!!! You are one of my favorite acoustic guitar players!
Only £4500 for an acoustic guitar from that well known acoustic player Dave Mustaine?! At least it'll sound good when you're jamming "Set The World Afire" and "Wake Up Dead".
I see people complaining about a thousand dollar signature. Kinda crazy but those guitars will sell for double or more in twenty years. Guy is not going to live forever. It's pretty much for a collector and they will pay collector prices . Not me but they will definitely bring crazy money

To me.. the mustain acoustic is a joke... It might be a great guitar , and i know gibson has been giving love to lesser know artist recently.. but just don't do this kind of the cashgrab... #canadiandevil
mustaine literally said that acoustic guitar is like having sex with clothes on why would this guitar be made but it does look nice not at all 3500-4500$ nice though
I don't know if it's just this video but all 3 sound awful to me. Sounds like you are snapping the lower strings like a metal guitarist playing an acoustic instead of an your normal style.
The LG2 looks nice but aside from that they're 3 overpriced, average sounding guitars I don't want. Sorry, Gibson acoustic guitars always seem to sound so disappointing to my ears. But as always you pay your money, you make your choice.
I still find it hard to believe that there's anyone willing to pay Gibson prices. Always worth tuning in for Ben's playing, though.

That finger picking of the Rateliff is brilliant.
Great demo Ben with some great guitars! What thumb picks do you use?
Will they release Epiphone Versions of The D. Mustaine and J. Cantrell Acoustics later on ?
Well, there we have it. Gibson have finally lost the plot, a “bag of sand” extra for a signed sticker. Absolute madness in this current climate!
Agreed! 😮
Blame the nutters who are willing to pony up for them.

Top playing, inspires me to keep plugging away with my fingerpicking practice
so Dave Mustaine Songwriter & Jerry Cantrell Atone Songwriter which one much better? thank you!
Fabulous Playing and Very Beautiful Guitars 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Dave Mustaine signature acoustic guitar?
have I slipped into some kind of parallel universe or something
he had one with dean as well years back so nothing new
I'm here only to hear Ben's playing, sounds great.
How does the lg2 compare to a Martin ceo7 or ceo9?
The comment section used to be more fun. Thanks for the sweet video Ben and nice guitars.
Top demo as usual from Ben. Ben🤔check out blackmountian picks bud Tom Bucovak was raving about them. 🥃👍Respect to you bud.
Dave Mustaine's looks amazing, you see it and you said: this must be from a metalhead guy, and it is, but the price is a little bit expensive, right??
Proper taking the piss prices from Gibson. £1000 extra for a signed sticker ?... Someone has clearly lost the plot over there.
Who ever pays 4 grand for a signature is playing dress up
@@Adebobbyblack must admit im tempted with the Epiphone J45 slash edition, the differnce is the neck and you get a case for very little extra
Already sold out btw
@@pads-zr9ln Yeah those Slash acoustics look nice and at least he actually uses an acoustic sometimes!

I dig the Rateliff 😎
"Here Dave, sign these. Some sucker will pay through the roof for a signature". Gibson is a straight up rought of a brand.

Plugged in sound..not so great .what amp?
Nice playing as always Ben, however, they sound crap for money. So many great acoustics out there for a third of that money.
3:30 sounds a bit like Fuel Tommy Emmanuel
How much ?!!! 😮
Only £4500 for an acoustic guitar from that well known acoustic player Dave Mustaine?! At least it'll sound good when you're jamming "Set The World Afire" and "Wake Up Dead".
That has to be the worst acoustic pickup i have ever heard 🤦
Thanks for the demo, i know to never buy an acoustic guitar with an L.R.bags pickup 👍🏼
You can actually dial in a pretty good sound on the L.R. Baggs pickups with the tone controls. This video makes them sound too dry and midrange-heavy.
for that price i could buy almost 3 Taylor guitars 🎸 and obviously no lefty’s so no thanks i’ll stick to my Taylor 214-ce DLX
Nice, but I’ll stick with my Taylor.
Am i the only one who had came here to hear this man playing ?
It's clear you and I both liked the last one the best...

The LG-2 Western has an Adirondack Spruce top... Please do your homework on the guitars your presenting!
I'm a Gibson player since 76 thse sound good but taylor has Gibson beat right now
You can buy a $500 to a $1000 guitar and get the same result if not better example PRS Martin Taylor Yamaha Breedlove on and on
Gibson charging 4500 dollars for a walnut acoustic with 24 frets? lol
You can buy an original Paul McCartney signature for £300!
I hate the this new thin body trend of Gibson.

RateLiff ;)
5000 bucks!? Lol,my Yamaha A1R sounds as good. 500
To my ears, the plugged in sound on all 3 is awful.
It's not just a skull it's Vic f**king Rattlehead!!! Megadeth 4 ever!!!
My bad... 😬

People bitching about the signed version being marginally more expensive know absolutely nothing about how those things carry value

gibson acoustic = trash guitar
pass and buy from a reputable brand instead please
Gibson acoustics are still the benchmark.
For 'cool factor' definitely.... not for quality
With that name... oh never mind.
Unless they start making guitars instead of wigs... yeah!
Taylor, Martin, and Ovation.
Devil worship validated when skull art is offered with the selling of the artist’s soul for a flippin’ signature. Pathetic.
Gibson acoustics suck unless they were made in the 60's. That is a fact so don't argue with me.
