All of his guitars are awesome,but that blue flannel is spectacular.
That plaid LP is gorgeous. That’s a wife who knows her husband…and smart enough to get the guitar tech involved so it’s one he’ll actually play.
To make a correction to the tech’s statement about a Rickenbacker getting stolen, John himself has stated multiple times and in his autobiography that the guitar that was stolen out of his car in front of Fantasy Records was his Gibson ES-175. He used that guitar on ‘Bayou Country’ for all of the D tuned songs like Proud Mary, Bootleg, Graveyard Train. Then he opted for the Les Paul Custom just prior to recording the ‘Green River’ album for for tracks like Bad Moon Rising, Cross Tie Walker, Commotion. His Rickenbacker 325 was used on the CCR 1st album, Bayou Country, etc, on up through at least 70, early 71, studio and live, before he gave it away. He did use another Les Paul for the songs he originally did with the 325 in standard tuning throughout the ‘71-‘72 tours. I was a “fortunate son” to see him play his Rickenbacker 325 “ACME” after getting it back after 45 years separated. Got the Tour shirt with him pictured with it too-Wolf Trap 2018
That flannel guitar tho 😍
John makes magic on those🎶🎵💯❤️
I was hoping that he would have featured the cherry sunburst Custom.
Wow thank you for the guitar insight to one of Rocks greatest Artists - John Fogerty! Kudos to you sir for your guitar handling and knowledge! Question: If anyone knows this, on the Vietnam tribute concert 1987 what guitar is John playing, looks like a Yamaha Revstar but it also looks like a Gibson, it is a red one with what looks like racing stripes I think, or is it a Rickenbacker?
I purchased new, and still have 543230, a '69 LP Custom (Fretless wonder) that looks exactly like Fogerty's, including wear marks and 'gold' fading which sold for $400 in very early 1969 .... maybe March. It's not uncommon to call them '68s because these had all the 1968 refinements of the LP and essentially ARE the 1968 instrument. The one or two times I reluctantly let someone play it and I could hear it from a distance (as opposed to wearing it), I thought it was the best sounding guitar ever for the music of those days. I soon added the 1968 case for it because making only $20/gig takes a while to pay for these things. The modifications that suited me straight away included shaving the neck like a '59 for my hands, adding a gold Bigsby for 'looks' and installing a more reasonable set of medium size frets. A few years later I changed the bridge pickup to a "super humbucker". ........ BTW: I saw John play that LP close up at the first Atlanta Pop Fest, where he used the Rick too to do the CCR hits. Thanks for the video !
David!!!! Greetings from the east coast, we miss you out here! Haven’t been able to catch a show yet, but you are welcome for a good dinner any time!… TONY
The Goldtop is a ‘71. That was an odd year. It is believed that those one piece backs on those were real 1954 bodies. The binding in the cutaways were THIN and not the tapered binding on Standards and Deluxes from ‘68 on. The giveaway that it is a ‘71 is the headstock. Not as small as a fifties and the double ribbed tuners. Also in ‘71 Gibson made some Single coil Les Paul Customs ‘54 style. P90 bridge pickup, Alnico Staple neck pickup and NO maple top. So that Goldtop is a 1971.
Right. It is a 1971 or 1972 58 reissue per Gibson history but actually is made like a 1954. It actually has a slightly thicker body than the 68 gold tops and Deluxes of the period. Plus the pickup covers are embossed "Gibson" logo as done in 71/72 years only. I've had a couple of those guitars. Really neat cross mix of 50s and 70s characteristics.
He didn't really want to let him hold it he grabbed it back really quick
Cool stuff
Wow that is a lovely note on the back
If your partner has a Les Paul Custom made to match your favorite shirt: *Marry them*
That baseball guitar is awesome 👌
@Gibsonguitar I’m gonna need a signature copy of the blue flannel in production STAT
My wife and I know a guy who made up some bumper stickers that say "Fogerty Swamps", LOL.
All Customs from ‘68 on are maple topped. Gibson got it backwards as Les thought the Custom should have had the maple top all along and the Goldtop should have bee only mahogany.
68 customs did in fact have maple caps . The sandwich bodies started in 1970 and they had 4 layers. Mahogany maple mahogany and then the maple cap.
That blue bobby is killer looking
Missed opportunity here to call the Slugger the Bat-O-Caster.
I wouldn't trust anyone but the tech to hold them boss's guitars
Women instinctively know how to hold a baby.
Guitar players instinctively know how to hold a guitar.
This guy doing the interview is not a guitar player!
@@livewire2759 Actually the guy doing the interview is a pretty established guitar player just FYI. No hate, just letting you know.
@@kevinbrennen6773 I figured he probably was, but the way he was holding that guitar reminded me of a newborn baby being handed to an older sibling... If you've never seen it, the kid usually has no idea what to do and just freezes... like, "Oh, ok.. what do I do with this... I don't want to drop it or break it..."
@@livewire2759 Gotcha, I just thought it was funny how when he has holding the Custom the tech’s hands were right by it like “ok that’s enough now I’ll take it back” haha
@@kevinbrennen6773 LOL Yeah the tech was handling them like any regular guitars, he even handed it right over when the guy asked to hold it. But the interviewer must be a big Forgery fan, he seemed like he was just awe stricken. The the tech looked like he realized he shouldn't have given it to him!
this was a great rig rundown, personally i preferred the segment with Shane Fogerty but this half of the episode was good too
nice video
Me too, 'can I hold it for a second?'
When I saw John in 2019 he did an incredible tapping solo. Anybody know of footage of him tapping ever? It was so interesting.
He did it back in ‘96, too, I believe on that goldtop, too. It can be seen on this DVD. www.amazon.com/John-Fogerty-Premonition/dp/6305005273
@@corneliuscrewe677 thanks!
@@237dman I saw him in Sacramento on that tour I believe at the Memorial Hall theater. What a great show. His stage on that tour was literally “A day in the swamp.” He opened with “Born on the Bayou” and the stage literally looked like morning on the swamp, as the show went on the lighting slowly progressed through “daytime” until the show closed and it was lit up like the night. It was subtle but amazing.
@@corneliuscrewe677 very cool concept
@@BootsORiley It really was. It wasn’t in your face like a Motley Crue spinning drum set or huge AC/DC cannons, but it really added to the entire show. You see a lot of it on that DVD.
Ben Kingsley is also a guitar tech?
I saw the baseball bat guitar at the baseball hall of fame
this guitar tech should have won an oscar for his work on American History X
The flannel Les Paul made me laugh
What is this a rerun? Look at Bohlinger's hair.
2015.
The handshake gave it away for me, remember those times?
@@GerryBlue Ah, good eye. Never thought of that.
Well no shit it’s old. They’re not exactly having live shows right now.
Ben Kingsley is hard up for work I guess
I remember that song man. "Still I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop Robert Downey Jr after getting off drugs and getting his life together?"
Are they not wearing masks at all👀
Please tell me there’s a blooper reel.
A very awkward, expensive blooper reel.
That’s not a 68 gold top smh. They were all stop tail tune o matic guitars that year. This guy doesn’t know jack.
Yeah...there's a few things he said that aren't quite on the money about the guitars.
An old friend of mine turned down that same job at one point.
Yeah, I dont how many times he said "I think...". How can you not know??? He was clueless about the Custom also- "this is how they made them in the 60's and 70's..". Huh, what?!?!?!
His job is to get maintain those guitars in the best possible playing condition. Geeking out over some details is the job of unpaid virtual guitar techs of youtube.
@@demokraatti It actually _is_ a part of the job.
Here's why: At some point those guitars are going to need repairing. Pickups, pots, wiring, etc... will have to be changed out or fixed. At that point, the details will matter most. That Baseball bat guitar, for example, is using different pickups than the original Baseball bat guitar. Different sound. The wiring on a 50's Les Paul is different than the wiring on a 60's Les Paul... etc... The Tech needs to know these instruments to the finest detail possible, so that he can be the finest tech possible. In many cases, the tech knows more about the equipment than the artist.
@@demokraatti this shows you have no idea what you're talking about.
I've been a tech for established musicians for over 20 years. If you don't know what these guitars are you can't service them properly. You need to know at least more than the artist you're working for. So keep your lame ass comments to yourself.
Yall gotta be wearing masks
It's possible that this was filmed pre beer bug.. I don't think the premier was live feed. But I don't know for sure when it was filmed.
Previous comments said it was done in 2015. I thought I'd seen this one before.
Ah cool glad to see it was done pre covid
Piss off, safety nazi. CDC official reports show a 98.8% survival rate for ELDERLY people WITH underlying conditions... that's safer than the flu. Don't believe everything you see on TV. I already had it and didn't even know it at the time.
