      All my guitars smell of weed 😋 I have them on wall hangers and stands because I like looking at them... And I'm high like 24/7 so not going to step outside all the time to keep my place smoke free... My classical guitar is still in it's case though... Over 20 years old and still smells like a lumber yard

    Beautiful guitar...even more beautiful playing...and we all love the looper! I was just reminiscing about how much Michael Lemmo (along with trusty ditto looper and Jen's comedic antics behind the camera) have really transformed GOTD into a new and amazing entity! Thanks so much for bringing a little joy, laughter, awesome instruments, and your phenomenal, inspiring musical talent to our lives!

    My father had that exact same guitar , same year and model. He had it from 1952 until he past away in 1989. One of my family members ended up with it and sold it at a pawn shop before I had a chance to get it. I am the oldest child of the family and it was to go to me but that is what happens when some one dies with 7 kids. Oh well that's life.

    As always , some mesmerizing playing from Lemmo , on a gorgeous arch top that's over 65 years old , not sure you can actually hear the wood grain , but certainly it's resonance and timbre , a shame they've been discontinued , but that just makes the existing ones even more valuable , well done guys.

    I have its twin! 1952 also is MY birth year (it was a birthday present from another player). Nothing else really sounds like these beauties - their stripped-down excellence, wonderful simplicity, superb workmanship and straightforward presentation announces "this person can play with taste"...or not. you don't need to be a hot licks showoff - and there's no hiding, no matter how many effects you stick between one and an amp. It still is one of the most tonally-pure, honest electric instruments ever made.

      @craiginjapan36 5 років тому

      I don't understand why p90s have this negative image. Not that I get that from you, but I must read at least one comment per day on UA-cam or guitar forums where someone is surprised at how good p90s can sound. They're amazing pickups. Even the modern ones.
      I suggest you look into getting a guitar with p90s if you don't already have one. I, too, was under the impression that they were somehow inferior until a friend of mine was in a bind and needed to sell his goldtop with p90s. I bought it from him, expecting it to be a backup to my other Les Paul. It became my favourite guitar almost immediately.
      Anyway, enough rambling. Play p90s and have a good day.

Iconic tone and vibe. thanks Michael and Jen, awesome GOTD

    Sorry to hear that Gibson’s discontinued the ES-175. I had a ‘62 ES-175D in the mid ‘70s-two humbuckers, great guitar-and I used the bridge pickup for some things too. Neck pickup for jazz, of course, but both for rockabilly and blues, and I even did some country gigs with it on the bridge pickup. Very versatile guitar-I’m sorry I ever got rid of it.
