Still coming back to watch this video. Just one of the coolest videos on UA-cam.
That may be the best sounding guitar Fender has ever produced.
I couldn’t hold back a smile when he started playing Jesus left Chicago
The. Holy. Grail. I've watched about 400 episodes and have never seen Mark so stoked. Somebody get that man a towel.
Guitar of the YEAR!
Best one yet. I don’t know how you top this for historical / cultural significance.. I’m in awe.. thank you for sharing this.
How the fuck could Billy Gibbons part with this baby.......!!!
Billy Gibbons himself is the treasure. He can just look in the mirror he doesn't need the guitar. I don't know if that made any sense it's early here.
Yep - got my vote. That sound .....
Guitar ocd Must be early..... Sounds a bit gay. I'd take that back if I were you. Lol
That bridge pickup with the crunchy sound just fricking floored me
Oh my God the tone on that guitar makes me want to cry... I love it
...and now every other episode has to live up to this. Jesus. What a guitar.
Perfect riff choices, gorgeous tone even through my computer speakers, and his enthusiasm is infectious
Man that guitar sounds like being dragged through hellfire and angel dust at the same time. Utterly beautiful!
That might be the BEST tone I've heard from any guitar on this channel. Kudos! And I wish I was rich enough to afford it :)
He didn't tell us what amp and EQ settings he used here. The deck may have been stacked. Just sayin'.
@@mrjah603 You said that without listening to _Tres Hombres._
@@mrjah603 6:55 Played through a '64 Custom Deluxe Fender, all EQs at Noon with a little reverb, amp volume is at 7.
The '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb is a fantastic amp and is providing a good amount of the excellent tone in this clip. IMO
That Broadcaster sounds so F-ing good!! I'm amazed. And you did her justice in the demo.
Actually, not all vintage guitars from that era sound particularly good. But this one... man... it just kick ass. This is exactly one of those instruments which continue to bring Fender fame and glory.
What a treat to get to play a guitar owned by such a legend, and used to record such an iconic song!
HOLY CRAP.....that is amazing. What a guitar and story. Thank you so much for sharing this.....it's history!!!
Mark, you absolutely nailed the tone. An incredible guitar and a great guitarist. Always a pleasure to view your videos. Your are missed my friend.
The best guitar you've ever featured, period. Great playing, too. Thanks man.
Holy shit. One of the best I’ve seen on GOTD in the last few years
Ever.
John 5 & Joe Bonamassa will have to fight it out for this one.
Should go to j5
@@670TXxGregorysxXT670
I should be the one to have it If not Yes give it to John 5.
I’m not much of a Tele guy, but that’s one of the best guitars I’ve ever heard.
That's it. The mother of all episods! The baddest of badass guitars. Thank you thank you!!
oh yeah. thanx Mark. in 1973 i met one here in the netherlands. never forgot ..what a sound. :)))))))
Wow. Watched this show for years, this guitar takes the rake
So good. 8:34 Mark in guitar bliss with the amp cranked about to play Jesus just left Chicago on the guitar that recorded it, screams out "lastly" to segue to the song with the excitement of kid on Christmas morning. OMG that was guitar nerds nirvana right there. Great playing brother!
Man that thing got some real growl to it. I am sure this one is going to be sold before I've even pressed comment and thumbs up on this video!
Hello! It’s very best moment ,shérif you play onde thé guitare. ,tank’s ,vert sympaticel litel show ! Étienne from Belgium ,Europe 👍👍👍🇧🇪🎸🎶🎤.
This is such a rad guitar. I love Billy Gibbons and I have long been awaiting a Broadcaster.
Watch every day and have to say this one should be the guitar of the year....
If I was rich, I would no longer be rich because I would buy that in a heartbeat.
So would I Gobi Grey &
I can't even play guitar!!!
Yes, and I want the amp with it too!
Yes, absolutely, if it is a Magntone.
My jaw has hit the floor and I have trouble picking it up! wow. Just wow.
BEST GUITAR EVER ON THIS CHANNEL!!!!
Ya it's an older video, but still makes me smile on Jesus. Miss ya Mark.
Jesus left his Broadcaster at Norms. What effing tone! Thanks M & J
I’m pleased to acknowledge that I’ve got a copy of that Billy F Gibbons book. I also consider myself a rock n roll gearhead!
I note, in the book which I’ve just relocated, the headstock says “esquire” which presumable is a response to the lawsuit over the word ‘broadcaster’ which puts this guitar later towards 52?
Screw a '59 Burst. THIS is the holy grail
I've owned my '60 burst for years. You'd be surprised at the tele tones that can be gotten from a burst. Black guards are great; I prefer my burst and my '60 bound sunburst Custom Telecaster. But it's all good. Good players can get their desired tones through most any rig that they choose to use. That being said....I dig this Broadcaster. However, I think my favorite year for black guards are the '53s. But thats just me. Cheers.
This guitar, a '52 Tele, and a '59 Les Paul are all Holy Grails. There are more than one in the guitar world IMO.
No tone control, extra bright and loud tele sound
@@richardrybinski2320 you own a 60 Burst?? Like legit???
Andy Sherman
IT SOLD FOR $110,000
CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042
How how how how ! Fender, please make more of these 😃 killer sound.
Thing is, you just can't reissue a 59 Les Paul because the old growth Mahogany is all gone. But this.. The Broadcaster, all of these woods are still readily available. We just need better quality magnet wire in the pickups, and original alloys in the bridge, saddles, and tuners, and they could make these again!!
I see a genuine sparkle in Marks eyes. ;-)
Outstanding! What a piece. Tomorrow’s episode = “Bye Felicia” SOLD!

@markagnesi are you kidding me, Joe B at the Greek last nite and the Holy Grail Gibbons broadcaster today. man your life sucks 😂
That is a monumental historic guitar right there. Hi Jen 🎥🎸
Mike M.. Ok....safe day 4 u
omg
Barry Soetoro...Barry....im sorry..I don't remember if you were familiar with him or not...aparantly you were...all the funny poems and stories he would relate...he was a great young man....it seemed that he was doing better....was in school....had a better attitude. He was studying to become a mortician......then, his emails to me stopped about 2 to 3 months ago.....now.........damn sad day...peace...............
I will always remember this GOTD. Jacob Reece loved Teles.
Barry Soetoro Rest In Peace. thoughts and prayers for the Reece family. sad day
Mark your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for this.
Dear Lord in Heaven, that is one gorgeous sounding gee-tar. Way better than Thumpin' Thursday (and I'm a bass player).
I watched this at least 6 times in a row. Absolutely Awesome! Thank You!
That guitar is beyond epic
That guitar is a piece of Americana! Thanks for sharing!
Thanx for explaining that unique wiring/switching works Mark...
Still the best sounding guitar I've ever heard. Stunning.
Such an amazing guitar. Miss you already tho Mark!
WOW that Tone AMAZING!!!!!!
Freaking amazing! Can't imagine getting chance to play that fiddle. As always excellent fret skills by MA. Interestingly, I read somewhere Billy tuned his high E down to a D and played the slide up on cheap sunglasses as a straight bar slide on the GBE 2-3 fret... Who knows... Simply stunning!
One of the sweetest sounds I have heard in my entire life!!!!
Probably the best sounding guitar I've heard you play 👍👍👍
Wow... this is amazing. What an honor it must be to play that. Not just a broadcaster but Rev. Gibbons broadcaster.
OMG--> is that a find or what! Who is rich enough to by that piece of history!
Man I watch this show every day, that’s the best sounding guitar you’ve ever had on....
I can't believe Billy G got rid of this one! It sounds amazing
So getting all tingley after hearing this!😁
I’m not one for birthday shoutouts, but you just posted the best guitar y’all have done to date on my birthday. That’s all the birthday shoutout I need.
Thanks for the neck, the bridge, and all points in between.
Why did fender ever change the volume/tone configuration on teles? Best telesound ever!
even the dark circuit sounded great
Your so right, ,I think they should readopt that system, it's so versatile and with the right pups you could have a very desirable instrument on your hands that could cover many genre's.
I have this setup in a '92 Mexico Tele with some Fender Antiquity pups and the guitar screams! I love using the dark tone with some overdrive, very beefy tone.
@@Devalis It's not really the dark tone like the later ones. .It's just a great tone.
if I was doing a custom wire job, I would do this "semi-dark" neck, the blend and the bridge with tone.
WOW ,!! ONE OF THE BEST FENDER ANYTHING I'VE EVER HEARD!!!! A GEM!!!😎😎😎😉😉
Not only does it have idiotically special history, it’s fairly clean too. WHAT A GUITAR!!!!
Jesus Done Went Back to Chicago, got shot at and Left again !!! Great sounding Broadcaster. Lucky to have played that Mark !
being that I am from Texas I am qualified to say this...
also I may or may not have rolled some dice with the Reverend Willie gee a couple of times... Jesus done left Chicago is one of the best songs ever recorded
WOW! That guitar sound is GOLDEN....praise the guitar gods for that axe.....
WAY WAY better than a bass! Coolest guitar on GOTD to date! Sweet sweet axe!
This is likely one of the finest demos I’ve ever seen on the internets. Fantastic!
The best video ever!!!
So cool to hear that guitar again in a guitar shop hats off to Billy Gibbons
This must be in TOP 3 guitars ever featured on GOTD.
Awesome, nice playing too. Watch Gibbons will want to buy it back. for more $$$....
I normally roll my eyes when Mark says "This is so much better than a bass", but on rare occasion I agree with him and this is definitely one of those occasions. Although, I don't think I'd want to see the price tag on it.
Blown away by that guitar the sound the look everything about it screams rock awesome just awesome .
Wow! That is a Holy Grail Guitar! I bet Bonamassa has it by sundown tomorrow! ;)
Now that’s cool. The blend wiring is also cool! I’ve got a leather bag a lot like that one, but there’s no Broadcaster inside. :)
Note: Gretsch advised Fender via telegram that they were probably infringing on the Broadkaster trademark. Fender (Don Randall, that is) chose not to make waves and the name was changed to Telecaster soon after. But there was no lawsuit.
I've watched this channel for close to 2 years and this is, I think, the first time I've commented. THIS IS THE COOLEST GUITAR YOU HAVE EVER DONE.
Best day ever
Holy crapppp! Nice!!!!!!!! Sounds amazing as well.
Breathtaking. Sounds amazing. That blended in neck PU on Jesus. Holy Shit. Notes just jumped out of the speakers
I'm still watching this. when I need a boost, this is my go to. Mark come back!!
........GASP!........No, I literally gasped!
wow its a piece of history. Thanks Mark and Jen.
THE...BEST...GOTD...EVER...
Tioga Fretworks Yup...... Fuck, I want that guitar. Come to Papa baby.
Guess I'll have to mortgage my damned house......
A slice of guitar heaven!
Now this is MAJOR
Amazing guitar
well, i guess i won't be watching GOTD anymore after today. because it just can't get any freaking cooler that this
Just watch this one from hear out. Oh, NO! Mark Agassi "Jumped The Shark!"
Man the sounds produced by that guitar are mesmerizing.
I need this guitar, so I can live my best life.
Troy Strain everybody knows this one sounds good backwards...
Barry Soetoro Barry, you're a maniac and on my crew, my, motley crew. This is, Dr. Feelgood, and he's is too young to fall in love.
and just one more guitar, how about Justin Johnsons double neck??? LA GRANGE - JUSTIN JOHNSON on youtube enjoy.... anybody else like double neck teles???
Troy Strain check out the looper Justin Johnson is using on GOSPEL HARMONIES WITH THE IMAGE LOOPER video.... it is very nice...
Barry Soetoro How the Hell can you be talking about double necks and poxy loopers while eye-balling and hearing this fucking guitar of the Century. In fact, two Centuries now.....
Music to my ears n soul..
Amazing
I absolutely fall over lovin' that arpeggio part on Jesus Just Left Chicago.
Wow, hard to beat that one for pedigree and coolness. And whether you like Joe B's playing or not, his shows are the best in the business right now. Every member of his band is a stud (studette). Everyone should see one JB show for sure.
Alright Gay Lord!
My favorite episode yet love it
Wow! What a piece of rock history! Didn’t the Esquire come before the broadcaster?
JR R yep
I've been sick as a dog with Coronavirus. This made my feel better. Thanks.
Joe B just left his house, and he's bound for Norm's Rare Guitars
ah take me with you Joe
WOW! That sounds AMAZING...
Jerry Reed would've slayed that guitar
Too true man he wrote great stuff
Sounds and looks so cool. Great Video 👍🎸😊
JB is on his way over first thing tomorrow morning!! Say goodbye to that Broadcaster!! Bub bye lol 😎🎸
