Gibson probably shipped the Buckethead models, with a complimentary Headcheese surprise included! Woo!!
Would love to see Gibson reissue Buckethead's guitars.
Amen to that! I think Big B might a want a few whilst they're at it judging by the brutality he's put his through ha. Woo!!
Yes. It’s the only electric guitar I want.
There's been a petition that Trogly started a year or 2 back to get Gibson to release a reissue but it didn't get very many signatures. But I am 1000% with you, I wish it would happen but unfortunately I don't think it's going to happen
sold only through KFC restaurants.
"Poke your eyes out length" love it!
As always, thank you for all the knowledge you’re able to give us. Many thanks!!!
Thank you, brother. Much appreciated!! Woo!!
Buckethead needs a new sponsor so we can finally get a new signature guitar.
Esp could make the exact same guitar just change the binding to avoid copyright
Every vid I see lately is sponsored by manscaped. Hope they dont come out with a line of guitars soon. Woo!!
As far as Bh history goes id say the most interesting guitar was the 2008 guitar with the black headstock. I had the chance to only see that guitar once , it sounded awesome too. Seen him at a place that no longer even exists lol. The shows on youtube tho, look up buckethead club infinity williamsville ny 08 and it should pop up. The setlist was super cool then too with him playing songs like crash victim and brewer in the air but my favorite has gotta be the bh les paul studio guitar, since i jam on mine everyday lol Definitley the best Les Paul ever made, and is perfect for us larger dudes. Great informative video brother, really enjoyed it! WOO!
Amen to that, brother. Totally agree the 08 and studio get the nod from me. And yours barely has a scratch on it from what I can see. Much rather that than a yellow one haha WOO!!
It's batshit insane to me how much has changed from 2008 to now... My hometown is not the same, the town I went to for college is not the same... moments and places that only exist inside my head and in my memories now, places that don't exist anymore and moments that will never happen again, makes me sad, because I remember how GREAT life can be... not this miserable CRAP
also... SLUNK
\m/
Yes! I've been trying my best efforts to track the history of the gibsons. Thank you my good sir.
Awesome i love videos like this their as interesting as they are informative. Thank you for the videos Keep up the great work. Woo!
I've wanted one of his les Paul's for years they truly look amazing very cool 😎
The history of the guitar the Grand Master used to compose many masterpieces.
Thank you for the informative video.
This is a brilliant video! Great detail 🤘
Thank you, friend!
Great video! Love this!
Thank you, friend. Woo!!
Who’s that head bobbing bot hogging the killswitch at 6:24? The best content as always…always a pleasure watching your hard work on these. 🤓😘🐔🤖🎸
You know when videos games make you press X rapidly? Buckethead would be good at that
I own a Gibson Les Paul CM Black, it looks like Buckethead's guitar except all black. I paid to have a Killswitch installed in it near the tone knob. I call it my Shadowhead guitar lol.
A killswitch is a most necessary mod. Glorious! Woo!!
would love to see big B doing european tour
Awesome player of any style that's amazing in itself ......
Woo
Woo!!
Happy Sunday NatterNet! Always been curious about the history, and always personally preferred the ESP and Jackson’s he played. I’ve resisted the temptation for 10 years, but am starting to cave…I’m beyond curious if his Red Jackson V with the reverse headstock and markerless fretboard is still part of his collection? Thanks for another fantastic vid, your work is greatly appreciated!
Thank you, brother. Red Jackson? Do you mean the Coopwood one? ua-cam.com/video/1FzD-zJxLas/v-deo.html WOO!!
@@NatterNet that’s the one! 😀
Went from a hard rock to parts unknown last I heard, bet some employee snatched that sucker! Woo!!
Wow... I just visited your website... What is that song being played there at the start? Sounds so good
It's at the bottom of the website page, free download. Woo!!
Nice research NN WOW. Hey where can you get a BH studio these days? Are any available out there? Thank you for posting
Thank you, friend. Haven't seen any for sale lately, they pop up on reverb dot come now and then. Other than that, go for the Chibson knock off. Woo!!
Wow, much cool research went into this one, hand Buckethead a broom and he'll knock you out a sweet Pike, fun vid, Woo !
I'm actually working on adding a kill-switch to my Strat. It's beat up and sounds radical. But I want to play "Night of the Slunk" with the kill-switch. Should be a fun mod for me!
Great. Also a great guitar.
Tho not fan of GLP’s, the BH Sig is the only one I’d consider if the prices weren’t so insane. Another thing to note is along w the baritone neck the body is also oversized (~15% larger than a standard GLP). I’m not sure exactly when this switch 1st occurred but some of the pre-Sig custom/prototypes def look bigger than normal. B requested this from Gibson b/c he wanted a guitar that didn’t look like a toy on him & to accommodate his large frame & long alien spider fingers. The larger body (on both models) is also heavily chambered which helps reduce the weight but also gives it much warmer resonance & almost acoustic like tone which to me is what makes it sound so much better than a standard GLP. Like you mention at the end, I always wished he’d release a Sig w a more affordable brand like Ibanez, ESP, Jackson. The quality would be top notch & the price wouldn’t break the bank. Thanks for another well researched & informative vid brother! The amount of fantastic info you been cataloging over the years is astonishing. Well done! Woo!!
Thank you, brother. Much appreciated. Yeah Id say around 2008 is when the body got bigger. But who knows. Be interesting to see what he plays with next tour, if its still that one with the giant mark above the killswitch. A return for an ESP or Jackson would be glorious! Woo!!
When is Vertex Effects going to build that man a pedal board?
I'm a drummer but if I had the extra money I'd have a signature hanging on my wall!
Surrounded by a circle of salt and candles I hope! Woo!!
If some millionaire out there wants to commission Buckethead to play the entire Shadows Between The Sky album (2010) that would be a lifelong dream come true... wow... that would be amazing... and please let me know if it happens, I will be there front row 🙏🙏 Thanks whoever you are out there for making this possible, holy shit
Great info on these pieces of guitar history! Now I wonder, if Gibson ever offered Herbie a signature model? If so, I'm it sure it would've turned "greenish" with age! Woo!!
Haha a Green Gibson Herbie, sounds gloriously gaudy. Woo!!
@@NatterNet Hahaa yes indeed! If they ever make one, it would have to be delivered with a Herbie certified meatloaf, as a surprise gift, of course! Woo!!
@@kurglekreutzer6344 gotta have that meatloaf ;)
I'm the Les Paul Junior, guy..!
Who shot JR? Woo!!
Do you think he's switching guitars? Him selling his Gibsons recently seems like something he would do before getting a new custom.
Be nice to see something new. Wouldnt mind the ESP's making a comeback. Woo!!
That 2003 one is obviously the best one.
Darth Vader approved. Woo!!
Epiphone needs to do a bucket head LP. I have all the guitars I’ll probably ever want , but I would drop coin on that
Poke your eyes out uncut guitar strings. 🤣
niceeeeeeeeeee
its amazin that no family or friends have revealed who he is. i know hes had to have his guitars worked on somethin. were a week away from 2023. ppl cant hold a cup of water
Nice video! I was honestly wondering what the true origin of the Gibson sg baritone in alpine white was. I own one and when you remove the neck pickup, there's "BH" written underneath from the factory. It was released in 2013 and i always felt like it was a model that Buckethead just didn't sign off on at the end. 27" scale,oversized body,alpine white,white toggle switch,same pickups as the LP model,same neck profile,no fret markers,The BH marked in the pickup cavity,... It just screams unofficial signature guitar to me!.
I imagine it was just made with BH in mind but never meant to be a BH model or signature etc, I think they just wanted a similar looking guitar and scale as the BH one...but if they added the killswitch it wouldve been way too obvious and then I imagine they would've had to pay some fee to BH. Glad they didnt release it as a BH model tho, those things just scream Angus to me. Woo!!
I think it's interesting that Big B's guitars gets some tweaks and upgrades throughout the years, I am wondering about something, how to guitars get dents and scratches? And that's my only curious question. As for the kind of necks and stuff that Gibson guitars Big B uses, I guess I'll say I like all of them. Woo!
Mostly from Buckethead treating his guitars like this ua-cam.com/video/ovj8k1BCUGs/v-deo.html haha Woo!!
Great video as always my Friend correct me if I’m wrong but Didn’t Buckethead play a sunburst Gibson Les Paul at the GNR performance at the MTV awards in 02?
Thank you, friend. Indeed he did, this was just focusing on his white gibson variants. the rest are here ua-cam.com/video/1FzD-zJxLas/v-deo.html Woo!!
If Gibson ever got there head out of there arse and stopped releasing Jerry Cantrell & Adam Jones (love both of those dudes btw) sigs for 9 G’s and got back to there roots maybe we could get another Bucket signature that’s affordable. Although I’m sure they would charge $10,000 for it
What’s the background music playing at 6:32?
Its from youtubes audio library, not even sure of the title.
I would love to own one of those glorious Gibsons! The only guitars I can find for sale are these affordable Chibson Guitars on ebay and Alibaba. Mass produced. Do these sound decent? Cheap at only $300 to $600. With a few modifications like the signatures Pickups, Schaller tuning keys, bone nut. These could be killer!
You get what you pay for but the look is spot on! Your thoughts 💭
Haha yes the good ol' chibsons, actually from what I hear they aren't that bad for the price. The Jack Sons too are pretty decent, even if just for looks. Woo!!
@@NatterNet You convinced me to purchase one. ☝🏻 Woo! ☝🏻
I’m so nervous that I’ll receive a scale model guitar 🎸 😬
haha let's hope not, otherwise you'll have to make a custom Buckethead funko pop to go with it. Let me know how it goes!! Woo!!
@@NatterNet haha will do!
Are you bloody psychic?! I was looking at Gibson Buckethead guitars earlier today. 🤔
Does it come with the elastic strap?
Only applicable if you're over 6 foot, anyone under isn't allowed on the elastic strap ride. Woo!!
😃
Is he going to tour anytime soon????
Can't see it being this year but ya never know. If/when one is announced we'll be all over it. Woo!!
It would be funny if Buckethead started using a Chinese Aliexpress copy version of his guitar
Wow it has the worn out kill switch area. Priceless IMO. Museum Art.
Amen!! Glorious art piece! WOO!!
@@NatterNet His music is helping me fix all kinds of stuff. Woo!
Like broken russian dolls and vintage cabinets? Woo!!
Thanks for all information! By the way, do you know if it’s true that the Baritone SG was originally planned to be a Buckethead signature?
My pleasure, friend. Never heard of the baritone sg becoming a BH sig from anyone official/in the know, thankfully tbh, everytime I see that guitar I just think Angus. Im guessing it was just a way to get a similar looking BH guitar out there, though without a killswitch, its just not the man. Woo!!
🔥 Nice, But don't forget ..The Buckethead Gibson LP is a 27 in scale length also called a baritone. Its a big guitar like Big B himself. Love ❤ this guitar but not dropping 10k 💰 on one anytime soon. 🎢 Woo!
I didn't forget, its mentioned numerous times in the vid. Woo!!
What strap does bh uses?
For years it was the No1 Stretch strap (orange and white), now it just a regular (non-no1) black strap. Woo!!
Always blows me away that he uses a LP and no whammy but is full shred full time lol…
Still waiting for a full size Les Paul from Epiphone. C'MON EPIPHONE! I mean pretty please??
Indeed! At least Chibson stepped up haha Woo!!
Does anyone know the story about how he was getting these prototypes made for him specifically? I read somewhere that he knew someone in the custom shop that could make them for him. Just curious. Did he approach them? They approach him? Did he have to pay? Why did he choose white? Haha I have so many questions
Anyone can have a custom guitar made by Gibson (and most other brands), you just contact Gibson or a registered Gibson guitar dealer, give them the specs and they'll make it for you (similar to him having Jackson guitars custom made for in 1999 and other his custom Gibsons in early 2000s). He didn't know anyone at Gibson personally. I imagine that after he started using the 2008 "prototype" is when Gibson considered doing a Buckethead line, which they eventually did in late 2009 after he test drove a pre-production Gibson on his 2009 tour (a guitar which he recently sold ua-cam.com/video/5ZNjkJoBjeQ/v-deo.html ). He used white gibsons since the early 2000s, I imagine the white with red killswitch buttons kept in line with the whole KFC moniker.
@@NatterNet thanks for the insight and comment. I always wondered how he got the custom white LP with no inlays before the signature. Didn’t know you can get it customized either until recently. Wonder how much he paid to have the first few made.
It would be nice if Gibson redid a buckethead guitar ...it literally the one I want...even of they just did studio's would be fine...I can't see paying 5 grand for any guitar...1400$ sure
You missed a burst Les Paul . . . I don't know if it was before the white one or not, I think so . . . I saw a photo in a Rolling Stone ( I think ) magazine years ago of him playing it live, just as the GnR era began. It was for sure another custom because it was oversized like his others. Anyway, great video.
You might be thinking of the Black Yamaha? ua-cam.com/video/1FzD-zJxLas/v-deo.html
@@NatterNet You got it right after the Yamaha, the burst LP . . . I can't believe I didn't remember it was the one from the MTV awards show where they did the medley and all the confetti was all over. That was it 🎉
😁
What about the sunburst LP with blank ebony fretboard he played at the VMA awards 2002?
As stated this is only focusing on the white gibson variants. For that sunburst guitar you can go here ua-cam.com/video/1FzD-zJxLas/v-deo.html Woo!!
No only markers? How does he play then?
"no front fret markers"....he uses glow in the dark stickers taped to the neck live. Woo!!
@@NatterNet ahh. Thanks. Doesn’t matter how talented a guitar player you are, you still need to see very quickly where you are in the fret board.
Very true, unless you're Bumblefoot and just guess it haha
No guitarist ever looks at the front markers, they use the side ones. If you can see the front ones when playing you're holding the guitar wrong. ☺️
Front markers are useful for doing instruction but I think all guitars look better without them, however intricate or decorative they can be.
Great video and I've always wanted a BH studio version but..../sighs.
@@Intensecure he had no markers.
💀
It's a great pity that the baritone sg never become his signature model or at least played by bucket on concert. Thanks to the longer neck, these big guitars have a kind of flute-ish clarity in standard E tuning and they got tesion enough for drop tunings. It could be tough for people with extremely small hands but I guess most players should be OK to adapt to these inspiring machines.
For those who wish to have these white 496r/500t pu, Dimarzio Air Norton/Steve's special would be a great alternative. Buckethead uses 10-46 strings and dunlop John Petrucci jazz3 picks live. 24mm Sanwa arcade button for killswitch.
The baritone sg's sound fantastic. I use 13-72 strings and it growls and stays in tune like no other. The finish on the other hand is rather annoying. Very succeptible to yellowing or reacting with certain materials wich make it discolour in weird ways.
@@Cantabilex all my white guitars somehow turned into yellow/cream after 4～5 years, especially these nitro lacquer Gibsons.
Personally Im glad they didn't, those things just scream angus young to me, even when they're white. I imagine they just modeled it on BH but couldn't put the killswitch on there otherwise that would've been way too obvious and then I'd assume they'd have to pay some kind of fee/royalty to the GOAT. Next up, Jackson Coopwood signatures please!! Woo!!
I wonder how gibson approached buckethead lol
With great caution I imagine haha. Wouldn't be surprised if they saw his 2008 or 09 mod on tour and thought, that guitar looks like $$$ let's make it happen. Woo!!
Did he use Gibson for all pike albums?
Highly likely, though theres a few metal ones, acoustics and even a tremolo driven Pike in there that were very likely recorded with something else. Woo!!
Gibsons scale is 24.75, not 24.5
I'd much rather have one of Bucket's Jackson's than Gibson's.
I'd wager that buckethead never played an actual Gibson Les Paul until 2009
