    RIP Ernie. I knew you for about an hour through this video but I could already tell you were a good dude who was passionate about your craft. Every time Ben plays that rig, we're gonna hear you, so it's like you never left. Condolences to your family and friends - rest easy Sir, the world lost a wealth of knowledge with your passing.

    33:30 where he's talking about our mortality ... the irony about Ernie Kings passing isn't lost on anyone watching this.

    Man, I watched this on March 10,2024 and I was thinking how lucky to win a Gibson Les Paul ( I won a PRS bass4 in 1986 Guitar Player magazine giveaway) then when I saw that the guy Ernie passed ,I thought he was luckier to meet and be escorted through the facility and talk with him,my wife passed on February 1,2024 and this triggered tears to flow (Man I miss that woman) condolences to his farm and all affected by his passing,RIP sir, great video 🙏🏿💯❤️

    Oh man what did he do to be lucky enough to get a tour of the custom shop let alone win a Les Paul a choose the one, I really enjoyed the video then I realised the passing of Ernie King what a great tribute to him. R.I.P.

    Man, what a sad endling I didn't see that coming. Since I started watching your video I got hooked cause of Ernie's friendless and loveable character. Ernie genuinely chose THE guitar for you and that's beautiful man. Enjoy in good health brother.

    I will remember this video for the rest of my life . I'm musician and Gibson has been my favorite since the beginning . My first Gibson Les Paul was a 1998 Gibson Standard Cherry Burst . I traded it for a Fender 5 string bass at Guitar Center in Cincinnati in 2003/04 . We needed a bass player so I sacrificed . I live in a small town and finding the right bass player was impossible . I've been fortunate to be able to buy some nice Gibson guitars over the years . 2007 SG , 2012 Les Paul traditional , 2016 R9 , 2019 60th anny 59 , 2019 Explorer and Flyin V . I remember having some trouble with my 2019 60th anny 59 . I called the custom shop and talked to a guy that was nice as can be and took care of the issue . It was Ernie . This video showed me who I was talking to . God Bless you Ernie and may you rest in peace , brother !!

    OMG, Ernie, I knew him by name and voice only from waay back when Historic line was very young, around 1996-ish, I called the Custom Shop for a little jar of nitro, for some minor damage on one of my R9's, and another time for a pickguard or something, I owned several reissues then, Ernie was the guy that I spoke with. When I clicked on this video I saw the name and heard that voice, over 25 years ago and I remembered right away. R.I.P. Ernie, I'll see you there some day, I'll be 70 in July.

    I had every intention of commenting this was the best Gibson factory tour I have seen after I got thru watching it. Then totally hit in the gut about Ernie. Man so sorry to hear about his passing. This video turned out to be a great blessing in sharing him with us before he passed. Congrats Boscoe dude you deserve that guitar and because of you some of us got to meet Earnie too thru the video.

    Really enjoyed this video. The folks at Gibson are the real deal as are you. So sorry to see that news at the end about Ernie. He seemed like a really good guy - may he rock in peace. Looking forward to seeing where that beautiful guitar will take you in the future. All the best from a new sub from Ireland. 🤘👍
