    It still has the “R9” stamp in the electronics pocket because that’s all it is. It’s hard to justify those prices(standard R9) even, but considering all the hand work that goes into them, it’s almost believable.

      Not worth even one-half of the retail sticker price $22K. Indeed, I wouldn't pay more than $10K for that guitar. The substantial amount of "tear out" in the control cavity route is shameful. And it's indicative of inferior quality tone wood. Just imagine the guitar's neck with "tear out" in the area of the truss rod route! That's what you can't see. Gibson is literally putting LIPSTICK ON A PIG! 🐽

    Bravo Austin🎸I saw the video of Ed King showing the Original RedEye to a Collector before it went to Carters Shop. It had a Double Cream bobbin PU at the Bridge & a Zebra at the Neck. Supposedly they were Custom made by Whizz Pickup Company to amplify the Reedy sound of the Guitars acoustics. Apparently Whizz made Ed happy in that respect. I saw Ed playing the rhythm parts on Freebird with a LesPaul. Not sure if it was RedEye but it sounded amazing✌️😎☯️

    Hi trogly! Great video as usual. I just wanted to ask you if you can play with the volume knobs when you demo guitars like this. Remember in the 50s there werent 2 channel guitar amps. They would just roll down the volume knobs to clean it up. I see you play with tone knobs but never clean up w the volume knobs. This is the way i play and bot a lot of youtubers cater to this old school approach. Keep rocking

    • @royalmountguitars6081
      @royalmountguitars6081 6 місяців тому

      This in my opinion is the limit of these demos. It doesn't make much sense for these guitars to play them with the volume always at 10 and use amplifiers with a highly compressed drive. You would also need an amp with good dynamics to understand better.

To the best of my knowledge, Ed never played it any recordings, especially not on the original Skynyrd run, and while Ed supposedly loved it and considered it his best guitar, he left no large body of music of him playing it.

    Ok, Trogly, I think I am having a deja vu problem with this video. I swear I have seen this one a month or two ago. I looked but could not find it. Is there another one with the toggle switch tag with the poem?

    LOL! Austin says the pickups are "Pretty Hot" at 8.2 ohms and 7.34 ohms! Give me a classic 70s/80s era Dirty Fingers set at 16.0 + ohms or 500T/498T at 15.0 + ohms anytime over the rest of Gibson's pickups, now that's a "Pretty Hot" pair of pickups! If you want to blow the roof off the joint or peal the paint of the walls, then look no further than DIRTY FINGERS BABY! LOL!

      @@andrewgabrielmusic Interesting. It works well on the Humbuckers I've tried, but I haven't tried that particular one. The height of the pickup "body" also makes a difference. Lowering the body may also help with clarity. It's important to experiment, but it's prudent to take measurements before making adjustments, in case they don't produce the desired results.

    To charge over $5K for this thing is more about paying the CEO's bonus (!)
    It sounds better at the bridge than my $800 LP 'Deluxe' but the neck is too dirty. I prefer the sound of my '13 Standard that I paid under $2k for.

    The Murphy lab people are the smartest people in the history of music… to talk people in to taking a brand new beautiful guitar and then they beat it up for you and you have to pay them to do. That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life but yet people stand in line to let someone beat their brand new guitar with a dog chain and a screwdriver, I’ll never be able to understand that I would do my guitars but I guess right?
