Doug and Pat Show - One for The Cork Sniffers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Doug and Pat take a look at a couple of high priced Gibson "dead on this time" R9 Les Paul's and again ask the question: how do you know it's exactly like a true '58-59-60 burst, do you have one? They compare them to a couple vintage guitars to see if they are indeed "clones". Let's look at the details and see how they compare because friends-Gibson is charging you a premium for the honor of owning one. Maybe there are some details you can use for your next purchase unless you just don't care. Then you're on your own.

Just want to say thankyou so much for your series over the last 8 years, I really enjoyt a non hyperbolic and gentle discussion about guitars from people who know what they're talking about and that's what you've done over the lasrt 49 episodes (I watched em all). Hoping you'll find a reason to continue the series, but if not thanks for everything you've done and all the best!
You two could talk about the weather and I'd watch.
They would stuff up the notes.
Hahaha. Very true.
This video really resonated with me. As a younger guy (I'm 26) I really appreciate learning more about the details and history of these guitars. I'm really thankful that you took your time to share your knowledge - solid facts and not just "it's magic cause it's a 59". I can really see the small things that add up for the vibe and look.
I almost fell out of my chair when the "sound doesn't matter" bomb was dropped - and I agree 100% with that. I own quite a few nice guitars - such as the Traditional you see in my profile pic - and I'm very happy with them after a few mods. I see no need to chase unicorns any further. Cheers from Brazil!
Hooray!!! Doug and Pat couple of beers and call er a night. What could be better!! missed you Gents and have been patiently waiting!!
This looks like what Zakk Wylde and Satriani's channel would be in 2040...
They are probably about the same age
Looks like an older version of James Hetfield.
I'd love to see that podcast. Satch doing all the talking, while Zakk just occasionally mumbles "Hyyyuuuuup."
More likely the Joe and Eric Show.
@The Doug and Pat Show where did you both go miss you on here, please come back to us all.
Man those pics are incredible. Imagine having 5 burst’s just chilling on your couch.
Hello Doug and Pat!
It's so sad that you want to stop the Doug and Pat show. I've been following you for years and have always enjoyed attending your tests and wisdom. You have always shown new aspects and examined the greatest guitars of all time. You gave your viewers the sound of a variety of Gibson guitars and explained the differences. You also explained very well that the sound of a good amplifier is the main component of a good guitar sound - pure - only guitar and amplifier! I think that many young guitarists could benefit from it - even a few older years.
I will miss it and I will miss you!
Thank you for 8 fantastic years!

Great video, great topic. I have never been a big fan of Les Pauls, none of my main influences were those original guys who brought fame and notoriety to the Bursts, so they just never held the hallowed ground in my heart as the holy grail instruments. As a player I find them awkward and severely limiting and they just don't work for me. But of course I respect those original players and for certain things you just can't beat a good LP. I've been lucky enough to work on and play great ones of nearly every year (except for '52 and '54) thanks to working at a great shop with knowledgeable and resourceful people. I've played Tom Murphy aged R7s, R8s, R9s and R0s, I've played Collectors Choices, I've played reissues from '68 til today, custom shops, heritages, etc. The one common denominator between them all is that they're all different,
The cork sniffer culture is mostly internet forum dorks, most of whom have never played or worked on old guitars and they're just parroting back what they're read or heard is "the best" and they want to impress people by showing that they like "the best". And the overwhelming majority of them can barely play anyway. So I just can't devote any time to paying any attention to those people, it's not worth the time. You like what you like and you want what you want and that's all fine and dandy, but that doesn't mean you're right and what like/want is "the best". In fact nobody's opinion really matters at all because we're all so selfishly wrapped up in our own ideas anyway.
It's factual, education and history I crave and you guys have it in spades. We all tend to forget just how much music and the technology we use to make it has changed since the fifties. Trying to get more volume and gain before amplifiers could really do it. How at one point, the guitars with higher output to push the front ends of amps were "the good ones" and the weaker, low output ones weren't. And now here we are today, back to low output being "the good ones", and it's changed so many times in between.
You can't go back in time. You can't make them like they did back then, and even if you could they were all different! But what you can do is play them and see what inspires you. If a real '59 inspires you like no other guitar, great! But it just isn't universal. Someone could give me any real '59 and sure, I'll enjoy it by myself, I'll covet it for its value and history, but I'd never play it as my main guitar onstage, in rehearsal or in the studio because they just don't work for me. That's not to say they're bad or it's their fault, it's all on me of course. But that said, no Les Paul of any year, make or model will ever be my "best" guitar And no forum warrior could ever come up with an argument of reason why I could possibly be wrong about why Lee Pauls just aren't conducive to my style of playing, and they just can't handle that fact. I've had Les Pauls and I just sold my last one. I tried and I'd rather have a dozen other guitars in its place.
So take the cork sniffers with a grain of salt. They really want to think they're right and they're amazing and are impressing you, but their opinion ultimately only matters to them and is most likely completely irrelevant to you. For the guys who believe the cork sniffers and share their opinion, just know that they still make good guitars today and they made bad guitars back then. The Peter Green/Gary Moore/now Kirk Hammett LP could be considered a mistake and look at it's history. You can find something that inspires you and really works well for your playing from pretty much any year. It doesn't HAVE to be a '59 burst with the big neck, PAFs, original plastic and perfect top carve.
It might even be a (gasp) Epiphone! :D
This is sensible, and exactly how I feel. The internet has a lot to answer for, one way or another.
twerpeater It’s the people who make the internet (especially forums) the way it is. 🤷🏼♂️ That’s just human nature, all the internet does is facilitate. Fortunately the internet also facilitates a lot of very positive things and at the end of the day it’s up to us how and to what extent we engage with the parts of it that we don’t like personally.
Regarding the original poster’s comments though I also agree with him as you do. I’ve never played an original 1950s Les Paul... the closest I ever came was an offer at Chicago Music Exchange but they couldn’t find the key to the cabinet for Scarface and I didn’t want the potential heartbreak/risk of it making my reissues forever feel ordinary so I didn’t push the matter. 😝 However, anyone with any sense knows that there were good ones, average ones and almost certainly poor ones, amongst that batch of vintage guitars, just like there are in any production of guitars. Maybe those proportions are different for those vintage guitars due to manufacturing methods, production volumes, materials (some materials such as Brazilian rosewood just can’t be used anymore for instruments with the production volumes of Gibson’s Historics), the workforce, or whatever, but not all vintage instruments are good just because they’re vintage. The chasing after a “more and more accurate” reissue is and always has been marketing spin and I don’t blame Gibson for it. Sure, some of the aspects need to be done a certain way to be vintage accurate (long neck tenon being a good example) but some of the other optimisations Gibson talk about such as neck shapes or top carves weren’t fixed on the originals so they can’t be recreated to be anything more than generally representative of the vintage era they are recreating at best.
I also love Les Pauls. I’m not a traditional “Les Paul type of player”... I’m mostly a rhythm guitarist, don’t play blues/blues rock/classic rock and play more experimental progressive rock/indie/ambient stuff, but I just love the feel and sound of the Les Paul (I’m sure the “feel” part of that is because I learned on an LP copy, my first good guitar was a Gibson Les Paul Standard, and my main gigging guitar was an R8 for more than a decade, so they just feel like “home”). I have no need for other people to love them though. It’s ok for me that I do. I don’t like Strats, but just like the original commenter here and his view on Les Pauls I don’t claim that makes them inherently bad guitars... they’re just not for me (in either playability or sound) and that’s fine.
I enjoy working within a set of limitations, it pushes me to find the notch within that works for me.
As far as cork sniffing... well I suspect that a lot of folks really want to feel like they are a part of that past historic brilliance they recall. By having a guitar that is as close to that as possible fills them with warm fuzzies maybe? How far they can take these details depends on how affluent they are... I tend to pursue vintage inspired more than vintage accurate since my affluence is limited. Hey if you can afford it, and you want it why not?
This is great Pat & Doug. The vast majority of us guitar players (I've been playing since the late 80's & live in Australia) will never even get to see an original 50's or 60's Les Paul. The closest we will ever get is a Gibson Custom Shop. I've had about 5 Les Pauls over the years, customs and standards, and they're all gone. What I have is a Custom Shop R7 and it is sensational. This doesn't mean that every GCS guitar will be sensational. You have to try them out, unplugged first, then plugged in to see if you love it. At the end of the day, playing it through a JTM45 brings a smile to my face, what else is playing a guitar about? Take care
Another Australian here and you're right about never seeing a real late 50s les paul. I've got a late 90s R7 that does job and couldn't see myself selling it.
I hope you guys don’t hang it up, this is the all time best show for us guitar geeks! Lately I’ve been hoping you guys would do a deep dive into the latest offerings from Heritage.
I once had a Heritage 335 clone. Saved up for a year to buy it. Made the terrible mistake of buying it without playing it (the nearest UK dealer was 200 miles from my house)... turned out to be an utter dog. Two pro setups and it wouldn't stay in tune. Looked beautiful and played like crap. I guess I was unlucky, but my most disappointing gear purchase by a mile.
I just watched the last Doug & Pat episode, Sept 15th 2020 (comments are turned off for that episode) ...it's the Kemper episode.. and I immediately went to their website and bought the Kemper profiles they made using their Vox AC10 and Gibson GA-40 amps.. .. WOW !! They are great. Best $10 I ever spent !! If anyone with a Kemper is curious PLEASE go to their website and help support these guys. I can't believe how good that AC10 sounds. I love you guys. Please keep making episodes as time permits...
I can still remember when there was no such thing as a vintage guitar, they were just called used guitars then. So I guess that means I’m old too, but I’m still playing in a rockin band so it’s all good. Just so you know, you guys have been the source of great entertainment and informative enjoyment for me and my guitar buddies over the years, and we are all always looking forward to the next show. So whether your next show is your last or not, thanks for all the good times and gear insight over the years.
Micheal izzo
Me too. Used guitars. Not vintage or antique.
Guitar center has made millions on selling guys their dreams of sounding like their rock heroes.
It’s what’s between your ears ....and your hands
1960’s-1970’s Manhattan,48th guitars,RUDYS,MANNYS MUSIC,WE BUY N SELL,SCAM ASH,all had windows full of used guitars.60’s strats,les Paul,SG’s es335,50’s Teles.$75.00 - $225.00 for any year make model,brand.Now “works of art”.you could trade watches for guitars at pawns shops.people that can’t play 3 chords spend fortunes on guitars just to show off their egos
A new vid!!! Great to see you guys. Been missing the videos.
Oh, and now that I've watched the full video, I gotta say, I'll never have an original (due to cost) and more than likely never have a reissue either for the same reason. My LP now is a 2018 tribute model. I changed both pickups to burstbucker 1, and a creamtone harness. It can be very bright on the bridge, but that's what the kinks are for. As of now, it satisfies my LP jones.
I am going to really miss these guys. They are so much fun to watch. Thank you especially for the vast number of PAF comparisons you did. If not for that I would have never found Monty's of London PAFs, which are outstanding. Thanks again.
Let me be the first to welcome you back! You guys always have great, well-Informed content that we need during these Covid 19 days.
Mark Agnesi in an interview said all the new 2019 R9’s used Bonamassa’s Carmelita as their benchmark guitar. They scanned it and used the measurements of that guitar for all of their new R9’s. Still is interesting to see there is still differences between the old and new ones. But at the end of the day, we all can agree it is the player that makes any guitar. Very interesting video guys!
Hey guys
Robert here, like many, I’ve enjoyed your shows ... I too am a Les Paul freak and understand the never ending mysterious journey of fascination these original pieces of musical instrument art hold in the depth of our imaginations. One thing I have always noticed owning the original Gibson’s from the 50’s, is THE WOOD. I feel the eastern Maple and the Honduran Mahogany that was available back then was just a generation of wood we will never see again. Yes, we all can try to find wood that comes close, but it was just a time where old growth trees were still around etc. I truly feel that is a huge part of the magic and personality of the Gibson instruments and the same idea applies to the electronics and other materials used on the guitars... they were from a different time... a different attitude and care... not better, but just a different era in so many ways you almost can’t compare no matter how hard we try.
Thank you so much for your endless wonder, it has been something I can relate too and just a great reminder how the instruments and music of that special time in history will never be repeated... And deserves all of our love and respect... And with that respect, hoping maybe we can carry on a bit of that magic as we go. Be well .
Im legitimately glad that there are folks who care about the details. It benefits the people like me who have little connection to the originals (by the time I was born the dominant form of music had already shifted away from Les Pauls towards offsets) but do think the old guitars _sound_ aces. As such, the race to clone pickups has resulted in me having a nice sounding Les Paul, that humorously is slightly different in its deficiencies re cloning the originals than your two examples.
Thank you so much for what you’ve accomplished. Best of luck in your new adventures. This was an entertaining series of videos.
Thank you so much for fixing the website. It was broken so bad I stopped using it.
I found that WIZZ pickups captured a lot of the great les Paul tones of Clapton,Bloomfield,...Gary Moore...especially when cranked through a good tube amp...and the late great Ed King of Lynard Skynard fame swore by them....Fellas as always enjoy every show you guys put out....I’m an older guy I guess I relate well ....You guys really delve into some interesting things about guitars ,amps....keep it up fellas...Glenn New York....👍👍🎸
Hey Glenn, did you put a set of wizz pick up in your guitar? I'm considering drop some cash on them from what I've seen and heard they are awesome.
Whatever the Secret Sauce is, it sounds like an ES -335 without the feedback - throaty like your guitar is coming down with a cold. Every note blooms whether in a chord or alone. And yet it screams when pushed. Most "clones" don't offer this. There are a few that do and you've got to play 'em to find 'em
All 3 guitars sounded great to me! The newer ones sounded more hotter than me. Jayne sounds great but in saying that I love the sound of my 97 r7 les paul. I'm happy as Larry with that. That's what made me buy it, it sounds great and makes me happy when I play it. Imagine buying a burst and not being fulfilled, now that would suck
God its good to see you guys !!!! I have to learn about the tones to even understand what I want or like. You guys do that. else: I dont know what I dont know, if that makes sense. Fantastic FANTASTIC content boys ...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont STOP making videos.. it would be a HUGE loss to us grasshoppers out here..
I live in Hillsboro, would love to meet you if possible, just,.. because. Gotta get a Tee, and then continue my tonal journey .. Im old, so I gotta hurry , but theres nothing id rather do that learn more, and play better - versus selfies and chasing social media ‘likes’ like the poor damn kids today.
Dont stop,.. Dont stop, Dont Stop,. graduate to the next door.. We’ll be here 👍👍🎸
Saw the video on the day it aired... Anyway, the world is a slightly poorer place this morning.
RIP Mr Peter Greenbaum. A lovely guy, I had the privilege to meet, chat with, and get my guitar signed.
I am a "cork sniffer" on a "screw cap" budget ,does that count ? 😉 You guys are the best ! Good to see you are doing ok ! 😎🎸🎶🤘
That pic of both of you playing on stage (at the very end) is priceless. 🤩
Plugging a guitar straight in a 50W nonMV 1987 .. preferably from late 60s.. tells you ALL about the guitar.
Or make it a DR103.
And LP Juniors... they have so much more meat than the Standards (even wraptails ) , that it´s not even fair
As of 2015 the ‘True Historics’ have brass saddles. Y’all are a bright ray of sunshine in these trying times! Glad you two are doing alright!!
The anniversary blooms well too. The high notes were really taking off.
So sad to hear this is the last of your regular shows. I could hear your sadness too as your voice cracked whilst you were telling us. I have really enjoyed the ride and will look out for any specials you guys do.
Here's a toast to you both..... and all the best from the UK.
Please continue the program! This star needs your show.Sat from Japan
Sorry to hear you are calling it a day. One of my favorite channels. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks for information on early 60 s with old dye that faded
I'm happy to see a video from you guys ! Hoping to see more with the lockdown it's essential to have videos from you guys !
I missed you ding dongs. Really great videos that I have always enjoyed. You are old but you are not dead...yet. When you are gone the things you cared about won't matter to most young people but things change and maybe someday when they learn da dum da dum cherokee nation will return, will return, will return.
You were generous in your comments on the sound of the modern guitars compared to Jayne. That old guitar simply had more body in the tone. Don’t know why. Can’t be easy to replicate or else everyone would have by now. Thanks for great shows. I’ve loved the insights and the gags are priceless. Keep on rocking!
Please don’t stop ! We need the videos, we need the info !
You’re the only ones who give straight information, come on!!!!!,
You don't mix brands in 2020.
They have measuring devices. They can make brand exclusive product.
You're not given another choice to plug in some other brand product.
@@dreyn7780 what the hell you talking biut
@@billmorgan7287 you were just proven to be totally wrong.
I remember writing to Gibson one day in spring 1994 and asking for a catalog. They sent me a bunch of posters with their guitars on side and pictures of Hendrix, Aerosmith, Scorpions, Chet Atkins and Ac/Dc on the other 😊
Jayne has more clarity on the neck than the others.
All good guys, congratulations on 49 shows! The last ten minutes was the best part. Those who were around in the early 70's and before still remember how it began.
A great show to wake up to here in Bristol 🏴, where our weather is pretty much like your description of Portland, Oregon! ☔😉🎸
O.M.G.......guys, guys, guys. PLEASE??!! Don’t stop making videos. I’m sitting here almost choked up. I love your videos! Not to get too in depth, but I came upon your channel at a time where I was just starting to pick up the guitar again after almost five year hiatus because of a battle with a certain substance. And, those videos helped me with more than just bringing back my love for Les Pauls, and guitars in general. So if you two really are done...Thank You, from the bottom of my heart! (But please don’t stop making them!)
I'll be sad to see show end. I've enjoyed it greatly over the years. I respect your friendship together and enjoy your personalities.
Your back! Your PAF comparisons sent me down a rabbit hole and I'm filming some myself with my R7. Lots of fun but man is it a lot of work. Respect!
Thank you from Dave# in England. Youve kept me entertained for yes. Pats fashion sense had inspired me too 🤩
Doug & Pat, I miss you guys! Hope you are both well and continue to record new shows!☺
To be honest I was surprised at how well the 2019 sounded but I got the impression that Jayne was easier for you to play either because it's what you're use to or simply because of the way it's set up? But there's that almost un definable slight fuzziness on both jayne and Oscar when you're digging into the pickup has kind of fuzzy compression that was almost there of the 2019 and I didn't think it was there at all on the Murphy so maybe gibson is getting closer with their Electronics? Now all they need to do is get it right with the wood carves. And now you have me jonesing for one of those rumbleseat guitars that are actually carved correctly thanks a hell of a lot
Welcome back, you two remind of the 70's, keep making videos and please continue to provide old people content. Reminds me I need to buy a mug or shirt from you all.
Nice to see you back. You probably have the best show on Les Pauls. After years of searching, I have finally found my holy grail. The neck is just perfectly fitted to my grip. It is a 2012 R9, with 2013 specs (apparently more accurate to the historic bursts: Hyde glue, long tenon, etc.) and fitted with a rounded, ‘59 shape neck, not too thick, not too wide, solid, light weighed mahogany, beautiful flamed top, VOS finish, AL3 unpotted CustomBuckers … You better save, wait and check until you find the right one. It took me personally several decades, but it was worth the wait !! Cheers guys: keep on taking care of those lovely Oscar and Jayne !
Gentlemen... My hats off (actually, my hair...being bald) to you !!! All kidding aside, you REALLY did it right. All the while being VERY entertaining & engaging. I know y'all aren't done, but I just wanted to let ya know... up to the time being... It's been a class act... Bravo !!!
AN ABSOLUTELY INTELLECTUAL VIEW OF LP HISTORY. I WANT MORE! I'M OLD AND KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT! BEST!
Just found y'all's channel last night searching for Joe Bonamassa interviews on tone and instantly became a fan. Cheers
Welcome back guys! What a great way to end my day!
I have a Greco egf 850 1981 and it has all the details of the originals you describe. Headstock veneer, neck break angle and thickness, rounded neck binding and body carve dish up to the selector switch and horn. Plastics color mismatch and all. I paid $1,500.
The original headstocks were asymmetric. One side of the moustache was flatter than the other. Fun fact.
They still are on my Gibson guitars.
One of the greatest cork sniffer shows on youtube for sure. I really hope you keep doing more shows. Thank you!!
hi, great channel ! by the way, cool replacement bridges & stop tail pieces - faber ! cheers
Goodbye Doug and Pat, will miss your videos, and just when UA-cam is placing more money making ads into your videos. What a glorious time for the audiences everywhere.
You have valuable insights into vintage guitars. You should be looking in to every vintage Fender. Both Mexican and everything above it. You should be all over PRS PICK - UPS AND ITERATIONS. A lot to do!
I just noticed that the "B" in TREBLE on the pickup selector plate is in bold font on my 2019 60th Anniversary '59 LP Standard. Still love it. Plays and sounds like a dream.
Welcome back guys !!
Hope y'all are well! Miss the videos!
I’m a little worried about the lads. It’s been a year since they posted . . . One of my favorite channels. Happy to watch the old vids again but still . . .
Eventhough I'd never be able to justify buying a vintage or custom shop re-issue, and am by no means a "cork sniffer," I enjoy these guys shows because they really pay attention to details. I've missed them and the awsome sound of that Vox AC10 SRT. I've heard about Gibson's decal issues before but the discussion about the dishtop stood out IMOP.
Great to see you guys are well and making great videos! Wish you'd make more..... That 2013 Murphy aged model really stands up well against the original 60s model.
Now, as to the bridge pickup, my new life dream and fantasy is to hear "Jayne" hooked to the 1966 JTM50t I bought in Germany while stationed there in the 80's
Hi Doug and Pat, just purchased a 2020 gold top p90 Gibson, the saddles are metal guys. Great show .
So good to see you back fellas. Missed y’all. Hoping to see more videos in the future. Stay safe. I hear Portland is really rough these days.
Ok perhaps the funniest moment I have ever seen in any of your videos was the 19:02 "I don't think it matters". TFF
I’ve been waiting for a new video for ever. Glad to see you guys are doing well.
Amazing episode guys ...of course eye opener for many people but also many other tiny details still way out of measurement, when it come to sound let’s face it good guitar is good guitar and if it’s the right piece of wood then you are there, we are blessed with many great boutique pickup wonders and honestly big big difference come from the pots and VIP pots made amazing big difference in taper and the way you can hear the details and sweet honk of old PAF type of guitar
can't say I've been with you from the start....but must have been watching for the last 3 or 4 years and I must have watched most of your vids....Big Thank You to both of you....I will have to get round to getting a Tee from you now....
I enjoyed the video. It's good to see both of you back from a long break. Keep the videos coming more frequently!
Doug and Pat you guys should get together or maybe just call and talk to Dave Stephens of Stephens Design pickups. He is a great guy and I think he has really went deep into learning the differences in everything from the pickups to the bridges and stop tails etc. He has that real passion like you guys and has great ears. I like his playing too. He gets the real deal tones.
Everything about Dave is a salesman. He has to justify the rediculous price of $750 for his pickups.
I have an Elitist Les Paul Standard Plus. It's a great guitar and I'm perfectly satisfied with it. ( Epiphone ).
My fave Les Paul standard is a 2012 Epiphone Les Paul Cardinal Red and it's got a deep dish like vintage Gibson, Gibson should be doing but doesn't do.
Im very happy with this guitar and can't find a Gibson yet that will sway me.
Great to see your back.You missed the bridge placement issues.all the reissues I have played have had intonation problems even the 2019
they are using the original placement it is in correct fir today's string guages..I am sure Jayne & Oscar are border line on saddle travel on treble strings ......As you know they would have shipped with 13 to 56 Sonamatics
So glad to have you back! Was wondering where you two went about a week ago and even checked your channel to see if I was not getting notifications.
Comments disabled on the Kemper video. I guess we can all imagine why that might be the case. It still leaves the question of the Tone Master Deluxe Reverb unanswered. If you're not going to do it just say "we're not going to do it" and then we'll know.
Great to see you two back , you've been missed
Soooooo good to hear from you again! And this is a good one. Thank you.
Nicely done guys...like the wise man said, better to be dead and cool, than alive, and uncool! Hope we see ya again!
It's great to see you guys!!! I hope that you're well!! Best regards from Spain!
If Gibson actually cloned one perfect they wouldn’t be able to say every year this model is the closest to the original. Do you really believe Gibson can’t look at a real 59 and make a copy? They do it on purpose.
Of course.
So now I boycott and encourage others to. Les Pauls will lose shine eventually.
Buy a greco or Ibanez from the 70s
CUSTOM SHOP TRUTHERS UNITE
That’s why I own a Gil Yaron les Paul 59 burst clone- unfortunately he doesn’t make them anymore.
@@dylandoge1627 Buy a luthier built lp. Ive bought two, each one is less than a ’59 RI and it has all the real ’59 appoinmnets.
Hey guys, Hope you are okay? You mentioned one more show coming as you were looking to finish these videos, is that still the case? I am sadly late to the party here, loved the shows and saddened to see it end.
Bitter sweet.... Looking forward to whatever weirdness you guys have in store for the future. Big fan and ex-relative of Pat's, and also played in a band that opened for Doug when he was with Johnny and the Distractions at the old "Night Owl" in Salem. This was a few weeks after some ass hat came in and shot up the place.... Do you remember? I think we were the only two bands that had the huevos to play there...Good times..
An insightful look into Fender reissues would be a good place to start a new series. They start in the Mexican range and ascend up to the Masterbuilt range. A lot of guitar geeks are obsessed with these instruments. Who better than you to explore these guitars?
Is the store back up and running ? A few months back the link for the Doug and Pat show was not working . Glad to see a new video !!!
Right about the time we thought we had the hack beat by paying Godaddy a bunch of money for "additional security" it's hacked again, and even worse than before. This is beyond frustrating to a couple of old guys who just want to talk about guitars with our friends....but nooooo. So we're working on it-again! D&P
So happy to see you guys again!!! Greetings from Canada! Amazing episode...
Doug & Pat - Your Talk on Maple Curly tops (Gibsons) Quartersawn , Vertical and Horizontal cut . To be FAIr PRS early days especially with Custom 24's (85 thru say 1998) has McNaught Boutique electrics , anderson, McInturrf, Suhr, Bloin, Melecon etc. A show on the new boutique makers 1985 thru 1995 including Godin out of canada.
Thanks for all your shows. Really informative AND entertaining. Sorry you're calling time on it but I wish you guys all the best.
Edith P.A.F.(la vie en tone),...g'day and thanks for all the great shows,...and yes we do wind our pickups in the opposite direction downunder;)
Congratulations and keep up the GREAT work. Don't quit!!!!
My favourite episode to date! I would love to see a similar comparison with one of the really high end replicas like a Gil Yaron!
Bring back the dish!! I have a '74 Custom and wish it had a full dish top carve. Great job with the video - much appreciated.
Thank you guys.. I really enjoyed this vid. Nice to see you again
You guys need to give us a full episode exclusively about your old bands and gear. I love this show and I'll be sad to see you old coots go.
Very interesting stuff guys.
Thanks for doing this for all of us who can't.
I love watching you guys, I hope a lot pops up.
Been thoroughly enjoying you shows. Hope you can make some more, sometime.
Since 2013 the historic reissues have been tremendous. Sure maybe there’s still a few small details that aren’t exactly like they were in the 50’s but we are talking about a few thousand dollars vs a few hundred thousand dollars. My 2013 R8 with custom buckers is a rock machine.
