Such a surreal video seeing the shop owner become the browsing customer and two idols of the UA-cam guitar world just walk around being geeky mates doing exactly what we do within Andertons. Loved this so much more than I thought I would. You boys are the best!
@@June1815VICTORY bit harsh
@@June1815VICTORY They ARE idols of the UA-cam guitar world. Your comment is uninformed.
The realistic pace of conversation that they maintained kept me as a viewer.
Great job andertons. Lee and Pete you do a fantastic job. Love getting to take this tour with you
@@KevinP.-ur6ch depends what floats your boat. That’s the beauty of us all being individuals
Lee stopping to take note of the guitar tone while "One" was playing was cool. A good sign of a great guitar fan.
Every guitarist has heard One if you recognise something in the background then you mention it, it’s called human nature, plus playing metallica in a guitar store just as they are launching the epi greeny LP it’s called marketing
@@DarrenJohnson1973 You must be fun at parties.
Lee, I like your boots… what are they
I was at the Gibson garage just a few weeks ago. Shout out to their sales staff. They let me play through a range of custom shop guitars and were incredibly friendly. I ended up picking out a 68 LPC and having it shipped home for me. Incredible experience. Specific shout out to Patrick Greene on the sales staff, cool dude. Even pointed us to a bar that night to see Guthrie trapp play and had an amazing night!
Nice! Patrick is definitely a cool dude!
Excellent taste dude.
Been there a couple of months ago to purchase my Murphy Lab 59... what a place! Feels surreal and everyone working there is super friendly and nice! I also got the chance to see The Vault and for every guitar enthusiast it's like being in heaven!!🤯🎸
I got a Natural Mahogany Flying-V there a year ago and it was the best customer service I've had in a long time. They let me into the room where you build custom guitars with that blue suede Mesa Dual Rec half stack and shut the doors (It's still in the same spot!). He brought whatever guitar I wanted to try and then gave me a free string change and freshend the set-up once I chose. I know Gibson is on the pricey side, but if you're a guitar player and you've got a couple grand to spend it's a fantastic experience.
I used to work in a bar in that building called "The Bar Car" because of the train tracks that run behind Cummins Station. It was a debaucherous place to say the least. It was where you went if you wanted to have fun but didn't want to be found by the usual crowd.
Best candy store in Nashville! Very cool that you two got to enjoy all of it!
“Who pays $400 for a jumper?” “The same people that pay $10,000 for a guitar” 😂😂😂
They're called idiots.
Man I’m really enjoying these videos!!
Love to see these vlog type vids with the crew, always makes the viewer feel like they're along for the ride.
The store video was fun, the vault was cool; but I appreciated the opportunity to here from Aljon the most. Personally, I understand why the current crop of Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop is in the price range it is. Is it too expensive? That's up to each person to decide for themselves. For me personally, It is a bit too expensive but I wish them the best because having more options has never hurt the customer.... except in their ability to decide what is right for them.
What an incredible experience! The heritage of the company is fascinating. I can't wait to see PRS and Fender!
The banter between you two is totally EPIC. Great vid and keep em coming.
Always nice to have the best tools. At the end of the day it's really about who's handling the guitar. Too many get hung up on equipment. Heart, soul, feel, ear and natural ability are paramount.
Many thanks, Lee & Pete. Even though I live in America (St Augustine, Florida), I have always watched your videos (for the last 10 years) to learn the facts and your seasoned opinions on guitars and the things they use to make tone. As soon as I finished watching your NAMM video on the Epiphone 59 Les Paul Standard Outfit, I ordered one (and got it 10 months later) and have not regretted it. It is great that Gibson and Epiphone have finally figured out a logical order of ownership progression between their two product lines. Who knows--they may even develop an attractive customer-for-life progression. I'll be watching for my next guitar through Andertons. Thanks again and Happy New Year to everyone there. Cheers.
Magnificent! Another excellent piece in the series! I can’t wait for the next! ✌️😃🎸
Stopped by two years ago and was blown away. Every amp had an attenuator and headphones setup on top of them. My wife held a Les Paul Standard and Modern for me while I AB'ed them through a Badlander and a MkIV 😂
If you're into guitars in general then this is a must-experience.
I'm watching this now and had to pause to write this. This video is incredible and I'm only about a third in to it. "BE STILL MY FLUTTERING HEART".... but not too still.. GREAT JOB ... I can't wait to see the rest because it's something I would LOVE to do in person. Thank You !
That hour flew by!
I believe that “Gemini” Les Paul is the older sister to Greeny. They have sequential serial numbers and Kirk Hammett has mentioned they have a similar sound to them (in single-pickup positions). Cesar has said the top is likely cut from the same piece of maple.
If you watch the Rig Rundown of John Notto from Dirty Honey, he had the Gemini guitar on loan from Cesar for that show and they briefly discuss it being close to greeny ser number wise.
My understanding is that there are 3 numbers between them but those were all amps, so Greeny was literally the next guitar made after Gemini.
@@scwebb wow that's wild. Didn't know that
I was also there back in June, and was quite prepared to be underwhelmed but I came away thoroughly impressed after being in there for about 3-4 hours. Played so many different guitars, fell in love with several of them, wish I could have bought one back (more than one), staff were super helpful, and the conveyor was mind boggling. Hit Gruhns and Carters the following day, followed by Guthrie Trapp at the Underdog. Add in the mind boggling live music scene on Lower Broadway and side streets and you have guitar heaven. Can't wait to go back!!
Pete and Lee spread Covid to the whole city of Nashville by touching every item at Gibson garage. lol.
Fantastic - honestly that was as good as being there! Great watching beside the fire on a rainy night in Ireland
This was a nice tour. Great work guys!
Great video. I was feeling the palpable excitement you had while touching and playing those insane guitars.
Great video! I’d love to go to the Gibson Garage, but I’m in a wheelchair thesr days and I’d have a hard time dealing with the stairs. They’ve sure got some cool guitars, though! I used to live in Nashville back in thr late ‘70s, and there was nothing like the Garage then. I probably walked past the location hundreds of times-I was gigging at night and doing part-time sales at a small music store on Lower Broadway a few days a week. (Anybody remember Wes Holland Music?)
The guitars in the Vault at the Garage were amazing! The Trini Lopez prototype was really cool-I’ve never seen that flat inline headstock on any other Gibson. In case you’re wondering, Trini Lopez was a Latino singer and guitarist who had great success in the ‘60s, doing Latin-rock versions of folk songs. Good singer and good rhythm guitarist. I understand the second switch on his signature guitar was so he could turn the guitar off to avoid feedback while he was clapping his hands over his head, which he did a lot. Anyway-cool vid, even if there was too much emphasis on Les Pauls! Gibson makes other models too, and SGs and 335s sort of got short shrift. And I can’t wait to see what’s coming from Epiphone-they’ve been doing some cool stuff lately.
If Gibson is going to vacate the $1000-1700 price range as Lee hinted, they need to do more than just put Gibson pickups in an Epiphone in order to ask those prices. I have always seen a noticeable difference in quality from Chinese-made to Indonesian/Korean-made instruments and there is far better value out there for less.
Excellent tour & video. Thank for bringing it to us.
Beautiful Gibson store , more and more i start to realize how beautiful the Gibson SG are when these were the Gibbons i less liked. Great video , Lee and Pete really nailed this video what i believe must have been an amazing experience , touching and playing those nostalgic real relic guitars with price tags that one only can dream could afford.
I have the same opinion as Lee when comes to new stock relic guitars , they can only be in some way closely identical replicated from the originals that's all
What a phenomenal place. That harp guitar is incredible. Probably the only thing I own that I can see there is the Walter Carter book with that harp guitar on the front (great book by the way, celebrating 100 years of Gibson).
A cup of coffee and two enthusiasts going thru the Gibson garage. Love it. Thank you team.
Totally ignored "you're good at ledgers, aren't you Lee" hahahaha, brilliant
One of the best videos ever! Thank you so much Lee and Pete!
Great to see a classic British motorcycle displayed in the Gibson garage. Makes ya' proud !
These Gibson videos are some of your best. Epic stuff guys.
This so amazing to see Big Ed!!! My dad Big Ed Thompson practiced/played that baby everyday just about! Yes he had big hands and t played that guitar like he was in love. Hopefully one day I can come see Big Ed and hold it like I did when I held it for my dad to give to him or just for me to see if I wanted to play it. Love love love this! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hopefully you are a millionaire if Dad's guitar is hanging in the vault.
Another great tour; thank you so much, from Dallas, Texas! I’ve been a fan of your YT channel for a couple years now; always entertain and informative. But I’ve got to say these factory tour videos are some of y’all best work. I really enjoy seeing your enthusiasm and the level of detail you get into as you travel throughout each location. So cool! I’m looking forward to more your visit; especially your trip to the Martin factory un Nazareth. BD
Ive beento Nashville a ton of times snd still never visited the Gibson Garage. Id like to eventually. The other shops like Carter Vintage always get my attention. Cool video guys.
Very cool vid! Thanks!
wow such a great video and such super guitars. Ive been a Les Paul Player since 1976, still have my 1976 Les Paul Standard tobacco burst. i love it. thanks so much Lee for sharing. priceless video. a million dollar Korina Explorer thats friggin unreal
Great tour guys !! A no - frills Gibson are the only ones I've ever bought. I like my Walnut SG and my faded 3 P-up SG. I think the people who wanted these either wanted a non-Fancy Gibson or an American made guitar. There is nothing wrong with wanting to support a company from your home country , where ever that is. 🎸🎸🎸🎸
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Lee and Pete have the best jobs on the planet. Well done, as always, gents.
Loved my trip there. Such a cool place! 🙂
Great timing, just sat down to play some guitar and the newest Gibson video is up!
The most British thing I've ever heard in my life is "40 pounds for a pack of plectrums, crikey!"
I went there a month or two ago when a friend and I did a tour of Nashville guitar shops! That place is so neat
The way Lee paws at everything makes my body tense up.
I've been in the Vault and held the big Ed explorer. AMAZING
Thank you for sharing this!! My dad was the original owner of the Gibson Explorer and my uncle had the flying V.
Hopefully your family got paid handsomely if his guitar is up there in the vault.
wonderful video!! in fairness to the more basic gibson models, I have a 2021 LP 50s tribute (honey burst), and it's an excellent guitar; it plays and sounds great. some of the melody makers and very inexpensive Gibsons might not help the brand, but the tributes are very, very good!
Epiphone LPs with a Gibson headstock, that's a game changer. Hope they that become standard on the whole range.
They were so impressed by Lee and Pete visiting Nashville, they opened new Gibson Garage in London just this week ;)
When I went there I got a custom made truss rod cover with my name on it. I love it there.
Love these videos guys ! I will take one of everything there thank you very much haha
Wow...... I absolutely would love to play Gemini haha
How cool is it that Gibson and its higher ups want to take the time to showcase the badass guitars that they want to replicate and produce today
I like how when Lee goes in these amazing historic places, he touches EVERYTHING he possibly can 😅 Trying to soak up that juju 👌
Love the sweet shop enthusiasm. It feels like you two got locked in there after closing time.
Keep the jacket on and start running to the airport. You’ll make it.
I live in Nashville and love the garage.
I half expected Pete to say, 'I still prefer me purple Tele' at the end!!
“She played more than a banjo, I’ll tell you that.”
A banjo with dime bag Darrels Seymour Duncan Double blade bastard explorer. Law.
I agree with Pete's comments regarding the merch pricing at Gibson Garage. I am from the US and was in the London Gibson Garage ~3 weeks ago. I wanted to buy a Gibson Garage London T-shirt, but the price was 69 pounds which is almost $90 US. I just could not do it. I did get to Guildford and purchased a Chapman ML3 that I tried out at Anderton's. Thank you Pete and Lee for your interesting content.
Epic outro jam Pete! Loved it 😉
Beautiful guitars in the vault. I have a 55 small guard Southern Jumbo that has such rich woody mids. A gorgeous sounding guitar that just brings a different vibe than the earlier Martins. I also have a ‘34 small burst L00 that was just born for playing the kind of dirty blues licks that no other model can duplicate. Yeah I’m a bit of a Gibson acoustic fanboy. They are a bit more hit and miss than their more sophisticated Martin brethren. They are a bit more dive bar than microbrew but I love em.
All in the epiphone new York facility you are very correct and thanks for posting
Love how the only visible damage on Mary Ford's SG is from missing the jack when plugging in.
Thanks guys, really enjoyed it. I still have my 67 ES-345 I got as a young lad. Actually it's fair to say it is in better shape than I am LOL,
I love the plain, stripped down, satin finished Gibsons. I’d purchased a plain stripped down Gibson at $1,000 over a fancy Epiphone at the same price point. Some people want a no nonsense American made guitar with nitro finish over a fancy looking poly finish Epiphone. Nice factory tour videos, you guys did an excellent job, enjoyed watching them.
Loved the epiphone segment; It's unfortunate that Gibson shot themselves in the foot by creating such a stigma around the brand being designated to cheap copies for beginners and hobbyists because they could improve tenfold and I still would not want to be caught dead with one in a professional setting. And contrary to the whole branding price justification thing, Gibson is still making barebones no-binding satin finish guitars but they are $1400 instead of $500 like used to in only 2014.
If im not mistaken Epiphone has models in various price ranges including the ones people keep saying" They used to be X price". They are adding higher tier models that are more expensive but i have not seen them remove their more affordable models.
Are people just misinformed, or is their a reason for some folk being up in arms?
@@XLTBlarg Some of the models have for sure become more expensive. An Epiphone Les Paul Custom is like 200-300 bucks more than it used to be.
@@506thLittleberry I mean even in 2014 when i bought my Epiphone Silverburst Custom Pro it was $799. So that price hasnt changed. Im sure if you go farther back in time the cost has gone up but how much of that is attributed to inflation?
@@XLTBlarg I'm not exactly sure about the inflation. I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Chrome Edition in 2009 for like 750 bucks. It's just weird to me seeing the regular Epi Customs so high in the price range when they used to be mid-tier priced as far as Epiphone guitars went. Of course they still had signature guitars and special editions that were more expensive than that.
@@506thLittleberry First of all I would love to see a picture of that guitar it sounds SICK! But secondly the Custom Pro models are still in the $799 price range but are always on sale at most guitar stores I shop.
The Inspired by Gibson 59 les pauls are like $100 more expensive but they also have the Gibson Burstbucker pickups instead of the Epiphone custom buckers so it seems like a fair price to me.
Alot of these signature models are probably overinflated in price, but for the most part Epiphones mainline product stack seems reasonably priced to me for what you get at each jump in price point.
Some of us will not make it to Nashville, so thanks for being our eyes! Great video!
1:26 'Mr Authentic' 🤣 Love the shot fired - but to be fair Cesar is equal parts Mr Authentic, with Cesar actually taking responsibility.. Yet everyone talks about him like he's gods gift to gibson, totally brushed under the rug.
Do it more dude !! You should dive even deeper on some tracks ! Dope video ! Subscribed
Great video guys
If Epiphone doesn't start using rosewood fretboard I won't even consider them at those prices.
A LOT of comments seem to be very confused about what Epiphone are doing. Guys, you can still pick up an Epiphone Les Paul standard or an Epiphone SG standard for £500.
However, in addition to the 'usual' Epiphone fare they've started to offer a bit more. The models might still be made in China, but depending on the models they now include things like Gibson custom shop pick ups, or switch craft components etc. The luthier I take my guitars to tells me that Epiphone QC at the moment is spot on, and hasn't everyone been moaning about Gibson QC for a few years?!
More choice for different budgets can't be a bad thing surely?
Speaking of the Pinky wear. I always think back to the Joe Perry 1959. And I have always believed that is the best ever looking 1959 Les Paul. And that distinctive half moon pinky wear is amazing and my favorite use and abuse mark ever on a guitar.
I really need Pete’s three second review of a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich.
The joke about the harp-guitar hand carved by Orville Gibson... "Legend has it that this is the guitar that Richie Sambora wrote Wanted Dead Or Alive on" 😂😂😂 Lovely dynamic with these two!
I was there a week ago. Did you happen to notice the cassette wall in the Kramer section, the white tapes were Van Halen releases? The J200 vine was my favorite in the acoustic section. I didn't know about the 'vault' area and would have pleaded to see that.
that's where I ordered my les paul in August 2021 and not disappointed thanks to Mark for putting the number out because I was having a tough time finding my 1st Gibson les paul
Fun video. Can't wait to visit this place myself. As Epi starts making much better 'copies' of Les Pauls etc what techniques is Gibson using to stop the forgers from modifying the former into the latter? I know they have some kind of microchip system, but I don't know too much about it. (I have an 88 SG, 95 Les Paul Studio, 2013 Firebird, and 2015 Thunderbird).
Loved the video. You two acted like a couple of kids and I totally mean that as a compliment.
That place is soooo awesome
I suspect this is part of a long term strategy.
Increase the price of Epiphone, so that the price of Gibson USA can be increased to maintain price gap which in turn justifies the increase in custom shop.
Leave the lower end of the market to other import brands.
Become more of a status brand with custom shop being like the Ferrari or Lamborghini of the guitar world.
Used prices of Gibson and Epiphone will eventually follow.
Gibson frets on the epiphone.. getting closer to wanting one of those
I wish the snakehead Headstock design of Lloyd Loar would be used more. Looks so cool.
Those inspired by Gibson acoustics are just amazing I have a hummingbird in natural its unbelievable sound for £599
nice to see the stuff common people will never own...hope ya have fun!!
I only have 1 Gibson a 2018 Sg custom LE in Pelham Blue. I have 3 other Epiphone SG's and 4 LP's and I myself being a player of only 10 years and still learning I don't see all that much better of a product than the Epiphone's. It could be my being a newbie and not seeing the underlying goodness that a Gibson has over an Epiphone. I LOVE my Epiphones especially my 59' LP standard that has all Gibson Pickup's and a Switchcraft switch. It sounds amazing and feels great it's a Dark burst and it ran me under a grand. I use all Marshall amps and a peddle board but I love the sound of my DSL 100 with only the amp gain. I love Epiphone guitars because they sound and feel great and I can actually afford one. My Gibson ran 1600.00 but I think it was worth the price. I'd love to have a Gibson LP custom but I'll never be able to afford one.
I have one of those satin finished, no binding Gibsons. A 60's Tribute Gold Top with P90s. I think it is one the best sounding, best playing guitars I have. (I have a Standard also). But I see your point about making cheaper Gibson guitars. I will be keen to see what comes out of Epiphone in the future. Hmmm, I do like 335s...........
Gibson Garage - Soon to be found at every airport and shopping mall in the world.
Aha nahh it wouldn’t survive - but most major capitals… maybe?
@@Tiptronics Think positive. Think Starbucks.
@@stockholm1752 bit of a difference in consumer base though - you could run a chain of “gibson garages” that act as competitors to hard rock cafe - that could be cool
But realistically even hard rock cafe is limited to cities with tourism
As somebody that literally JUST got their Epiphone Adam Jones...I'm a little sad it doesn't have a Gibson headstock now. Regardless, if this guitar and Greeny are the implications of where Epiphone products are heading I think this is going to be a golden era for them
I picked up the Epi Korina Explorer and it’s one of the best guitars I’ve ever played. I’ve owned a fist full of Gibsons and Epiphones, even played 50s Les Paul’s before and the higher end Epi’s are absolutely stellar. I’m so stoked to see them making beautiful, high quality instruments.
You guys might like the film: Only Lovers Left Alive" by Jim Jarmusch. There's a nice old Gibson in there. Played a Les Paul Standard, Unburst at Guitar Center through a perfect Tweed Princeton that sounded otherworldly and sold promptly.
I remember when an Epiphone Les Paul standard cost £300 new and it was only 10 years ago.
They only cost £400-500 now...
Was there a few months ago. Didn't want to leave. Ever.
Could you do a evaluation if the innovation on Les Paul and SG have added value or if the original designs still are King?
Danish Pete at 2:15 and"I would love to come here and see that when I'm sober"lol I bet you didn't catch it go back and watch. He definitely says it
Boogie is next on my list. DC550 probably, but if i could have anything i'd have the 78'-79' Walnut covered Boogies, one used by my man Jerry Garcia. love the natural wood finish look. but they are expensive!
And Rick Nelson has THREE original Explorers, including one with the split headstock. Insane!
I'm not a fan of Flying V's at all. It's only been recently that I've developed a hankering for an SG. My favorite would be an Oxblood Les Paul. I lean more toward Fender guitars.
Anyone know what that book that says "ELEVEN" on the cover, that Pete is checking out at 13:25 is? I tried to find it online, but had no luck.
