I'm normally a flat-out flat picking man, but soft thumbing "This Land is Your Land' was the ultimate song choice for this great 30's box. Mark you have excelled once again, it sounded like a cowboy recording straight out of the same era.
#FlatTopFriday #1939RecordingKingRayWhitley🇺🇸
1)This Land is your land/Woodie Guthrie
2)Hey Hey What can I do/Led Zeppelin
a barreling cannon, sounds huge. cool demo mark. what’s up Jen 😎
Awesome tone and volume. Total sound cannon.
Oh yeah. That baby sings. Incredible awesome sound.
Beautiful...great aged rosewood tone...those pre-war Gibsons are fantastic!
Wow that one put chills on a man....
arborist460 And a woman too😁
75 degrees in Tarzana and the leather jacket is out. I'm in Northern Pennsylvania and I'm not even wearing a jacket yet.
That is the nicest sounding guitar I've ever heard on GOTD!!! It rings out like a bell that can sing,,,,, a singing friken magic bell guitar,,,,,,, I want it!!!!!😍
"In this episode of guitar of the day. I will be feeding my zipper jacket this antique folk guitar, valued at $10,000.00."
I just purchased the new Recording King RD-328 and love it. What a guitar for the price. Solid Adirondack spruce top, solid rose wood back and sides, and mahogany neck. What a guitar and it cost less than $800.00.
It’s my 23rd birthday right now in Australia, (3rd Nov, a day ahead of you Americans). Love the work and never miss an episode . Keep it up Mark, you’re a legend 🍺🍺
Listen to that thing ring out....wow. This was probably the first time it had Zeppelin played on it. Have some of that Chad!
You learn something new everyday. Thanks Mark.
I recently played the 1028 version with a mahogany back and rosewood sides. It sounded just as good as any Gibson j-35 I’ve ever played.
Thnx for the education mark!!! Wow that guitar sounds awesome!! especially on hey hey what can i do!!!! its got the same midrange as page’s guitar on the recording!!!!!!
I love it. You play it so well! Thanks for sharing.
Just lovely
That thing throws some serious noise out! Probably one of the best sounding guitars you’ve had on 👌
Hey Hey what can I say , so sweet , what sound , what resonance , it's like church bells , great demo Mark , way to get the Led out , I do love flat top Friday , great GOTD
Hey so if anybody is wondering I’m the guy that Mark gave a bday shoutout for. My birthday is ending pretty soon but he wasn’t kidding when he said I literally know everything about 60’s R&B but I also know about everything else 60’s music related. Feel free to bring on any 60’s music trivia questions you have for me.
Went to see an acquaintance playing an outdoor gig here in rural Tasmania and he pulls out this old jazzbox he has just acquired. A 1938 Recording King Roy Smeck with a Charlie Christian pickup and everything. Never really been aware of this brand until today when, like buses, two cross my path at once.
What a sound👍
Man, only at Norm's are you going to hear Woodie Guthrie and Led Zeppelin played back-to-back on purpose. And this is why I Iove them in a very real yet distant, non-legally-binding way. Keep on killin' it Mark - 300K is right around the corner.
Beautiful guitar, so modern looking.
what a beauty'''''
Nice guitar! Love the Led Zeppelin Mark! Thanks for that.
Byeeeeeee Jen!
I bought a Recording King for $20.00 at Red River guitars Carolton Texas.... about 20 years ago.. when I lived in Dallas Texas ... made in the 30s it had a big hole in the side and a piece of the back was gone also and the tuning keys were missing and so was the nut.... but I sold it at the Dallas guitar show for a $100.00 to an old man who collected banjos........ I was always finding stuff.... it takes $ to buy... It was the only Recording King guitar I have ever owned... yes it was a rosewood jumbo!
I bet this one will sell for more than $100 LOL
Best GWAR cover yet !
Very nice indeed!!
WHAT A FIND!! 👍👍✌
Love it!
COOOOOOL!
Mark sounds great. 👍
Agreed Jen, neat pickguard. It really sticks out.
I think you'll find she was saying she didn't like it if you listen again.
Guitar porn ....nothing gets me hotter than pre-war flat-tops with rosewood back & sides
A Dead guy with a Crew cut in an open Casket?
Thanks You mark.what a great sounding ....greetings from the northsea coast. Peace
Sounds great!
Keep wearing the jacket Mark, I love seeing the comments about it! Just need someone to complain how your ring is denting the neck now! Hilarious.....
One of my favorite Zep songs. Well pkayed.
What a great sound!
That guitar is what you call a JOHN FAHEY machine....just sayin 😀 awesome job Mark and Jen!!!
So fucking rad!!! The Best Gibson flat top I have heard.
Loved this guitar as soon as i saw it. Moreso after the back story.
Man, I love old guitars that haven't set around in the case.
Ya gotta play 'em, so they sound like ..... this monster
Beautiful guitar!
Pretty sweet!
Nice!!!
Beautiful playing on both songs. We are all Woody's children.
Ring That Bell Mark...
nice ring , cool guitar
Amazing sound ❤❤
That couch will give you saddle sores if you keep that up, buckaroo ...
Handsome instrument. Very rare. I'd like to hear the difference, if any, between this one.. and one of the monogamy examples. That would be interesting.
I had a silvertone amp back in the 70s that was made by Fender. It was 100 watt reverb with 2 10 in .speakers. There was a sticker inside that said made by Fender. It was bad ass!
A common thing that still occurs today, especially with tools.
Just about every tool manufacturer produced tools for Sears / Craftsman, and many companies today even ones that do manufacture their own tools contract certain items from others.
sounds fab! rough week for chad
I had the mahogany version years ago....paid three grand for it. That thing was a beast of tone! I was down on cash a year later, sold it for 4 thousand at a guitar show. Ooofa! ..never thought they'd be hovering around 10 or 12 thousand a few years later. Dang!
Purely fucking awesome.
Neck pickup: Herman's Hermits - There's a Kind of Hush
Both pickups: Paul McCartney - We All Stand Together
Bridge pickup: Weezer - Buddy Holly.
Wielen Danke!!!
Nice job Mark.
Nice 🐸 👍🇨🇮🇫🇷
Marc, you gotta do a whole Queen tribute tomorrow. Bohemian Rhapsody is out in theaters now, and it is a fantastic tribute to the Rock N' Roll legends! :)
Hey. 🗿Flattop good. What a sound!
I can dig it.
The funny thing about "Hey, hey, what can I do", is that there was not enough "place" on an LP, so, they decided to not put it on LZ3. They chose to Face B this song on the other side of a 45 "Immigrant song" single. Imho, this song would have been the best of LZ3 album...
I still have my 45 Japanese pressing import edition bought in the 80's...
Nice midrange on that one.
Jen is so rad I've grown a crush on her.
Another great GOTD episode. Thanks! :^)
(She's almost never on camera, so although she's beautiful, my crush has grown on her personality that shines through the backside of the camera.)
Viva Flat Top Friday - always superb (even Chad likes it). At first I thought song number one was "You are my sunshine", then I figured out that its was "This land is your land". Is it just me (and possibly Chad) who thinks the two numbers sound similar?
Flat top Friday baby
Nice one Mark.
Thoughts and prayers for Chad
Chad’s a know it all!
God-damned Chad
Chad's a douche
This land is your land
Hey hey what can I do
Love the woody Guthrie
more sound than a 12 string ,wow, sounds great .good dry old wood .
Hey hey what can I do is underrated as fuck, great song
OMG, not leather jacket season! All those poor defenseless guitars! Nice playing Mark.
Not to mention rings on both hands...I'll never get used to the clacking of his rings marking the necks of so many mint vintage guitars. I just don't get it.
@@blueswood854 thing aint gonna relic itself...
Kevin Snyder 👌
I think most people know I'm joking. Mark has mentioned how people freak out about it in past episodes.
All those who panic about Mark’s zips must be the love children of Norm. Hey guys relicing is what it’s about these days
I really like that guitar and great demo guys, but could you tell me what kind of rosewood that is, it sure don't or sound look like BRW, IMHO?
HEYYYY HEYYY WHAT CAN I DOOO
Adam I GOTTA WOMAN AND SHE WON’T BE TRUE
Did gibson ever do exact reissues of these or the banner series?
That thing rings like a bell.
Grasias amigos 🙄
Holy crap that thing Rings like a mother that is an awesome sounding 6, and I don't even care if it says Recording King instead of Gibson
I was wondering if this guitar is loud or my new phone is louder than my old one haha
Bonito🎧🙄🎼🎶♩🎵👍🙄
A beaut
Happy FlatTop Friday everyone,
Hey- is it freakin' Straturday yet?
Those fret markers, tho.
A final episode today? Awww shit.
👍
I only like this guitar cuz of john fahey used this , its interesting how he plays rare guitars that no one has ever seen especially his bacon and day guitar
Song 1: Not sure
Song 2: Hey Hey What Can I Do - Led Zeppelin
No doubt, Jimmy Page is the greatest riff composer of all time.
Charley Davis uhmmm Iommi
You got that right brother!!!!
....yeah, one of my biggest inspirations for learning about 25 years ago! I love Page!
Charley Davis - Hard to argue, but Keef might have something to say about it. ✌️
@@gui-texzan7477 Keef can talk all he wants. Page can point to the scoreboard.
Even Woody would not have liked Chad,and Chad could not ball all day because he is a one ball man he is off the the rodeo,
Looks like this guitar has no truss rod. Cost cutting measure on a more budget oriented guitar?
Wow, does this one have that high A note ring - more than I’ve heard on any other. Anyone know what the deal is on that? The rosewood dread I built has it.
We wish he'd come back to Norm's.
The side shape of the headstock looks like the later Epi ones used by Gibson.
They probably made the rosewood model first and put 1027 then made a mahogany model so 1028.
nice, except for that headstock which is veering dangerously toward the Epiphone "mullet" look.

ALL CHAPS FOR CHAD
