The hand measuring was brilliant!! How many times I sit here wondering how Buk pulls one of these "adult" chords out and now it's as clear as day... The man is a sasquatch!! 😜
Excellent video of two cats hanging out repairing and rambling on about setups, guitars and people…in the garage…love it…felt like that fly on the wall.
Jimmy was is and always will be a session man first, that dude was making skiffle music sound cool as a kid in school. Producer Electric / Accustic Bass, extraordinary gifted individual. That guy has an incredible ear! Tom said it those guys were doing incredible music in there 20s. Great video gentlemen Cheers Doug 😎
I do all my own shit too, nut slot filing (only tweak it if the string is too high and that 1st fret note is too high), I do my own pickup changes, and of course intonation tweaking always, gotta have all the notes sounding right, especially that major 3rd at the 11th fret with the open E, and A, and D, those are my most important personally. Rock on
“Not putting a Kayler on a Les Paul “ LOL I hear you about putting a good set up on a good guitar. I fixed a whacked out DGT standard today that somebody hosed up, better than I thought it would play. Made my bad day good again.
I had a Savvy put on a custom shop Les Paul jr a few weeks ago. It truly is everything these guys say it is. For me it made an already great guitar about ten times greater.
Larry, I have the exact guitar, mid 60's, that I refinished in white also, that I put a Leo Quan badass tunamatic bridge on to correct the problem. Am I going to gain anything to use the 'music city bridge' instead?
Wow! Years ago, I had the chance to buy a '59 Junior for cheap. You know, I wanted to love it, but it just didn't resonate in my hands or anything. So, I passed on it. Now I wish I owned it! HA! I think this bridge would help that guitar come to life. Ford, do you still use any of those Evertune guitars?
I was in Drum and Strum and got to play the Gibson ES=335 I heard you purchased ..........Just wondered what you think of it and was it worth the price???
Just subscribed to your channel Ford, but I've been a fan for awhile. I think Pete is actually around 6 feet. He just looks 1 foot taller than Daltrey who us 5'6", haha. Cheers
Me and Tommy are damn near the same age I cannot call him Uncle Larry in all good faith without feeling like a weirdo.. and BTW I would have known that was a refin just by a text message picture also because of that color is a bit off
The wierd thing about all the modeller amp criticism is that nobody's gonna criticize the sound of these newly setup Les Paul student level guitars as sounding like a picture & not the real deal (they both sound GREAT unplugged, recorded on a smartphone and uploaded to UA-cam). And I never hear anyone complain say Miles Davis' Kind of Blue recording sounds unrealistic & starved despite being many decades old now. But it's all the social media rage today to complain SRV's guitar & multiple amps dimed out and shaking walls was still so emaciated sounding that studios had to put wet effects on it in post production to make it tolerable for the listener. What is our deal? Is electric guitar really in so much need of help when speaking? I don't think so, personally. I think it's just that electric guitar will forever be a sandbox instrument for creativity & imagination that will continue to piss off traditionalists even in spite of honoring them -- an authentic rebel instrument for Western culture.
Setting up and repairing other people's shitty cheap guitars and making them playable is literally the reason I started playing guitar 30+years ago. I was fixing guitars way before I even started playing. Then I got broke guitarists to give me lessons instead of money for repairs.
wanna know what really separated EVH, SRV, RAP, and all those other rockers who made it? its not what you've been programmed to think it is "who's better EVH or SRV?" better at what and define better? the difference between these guys and the others is they didn't sit around focusing others peoples music or licks and riffs wondering who was better or trying to justify that their hero is better than someone else, the music they listened to that was someone else's they didn't obsess on it, at least not after they developed their chops, they obsessed on their own playing, their own style, music, everything.. they focused on their own music all day long obsessing on their own lives and music.. I see so many good to great guitar players on youtube but not one original song, very few original licks or riffs, write em, there is no GOOD OR BAD! that shit you learned from greedsters and narcissists.. every time you say to yourself this guy is a hero or a phenom whatever over and over you are simply telling yourself you're not good enough..
Is it just me or does Tom seem a little annoyed with Ford at times? Kinda like just take a step back and let me do my thing or ask the damn questions and get it over with. 😂
[Yeah, it does seem like Ford is trying a little too hard; probably not even aware he's doing it. It's a skill called READING THE ROOM and Ford apparently doesn't possess it. Uncle Larry is so cool that he smoothes it over.]
Wow, he really likes the sound of his own voice. Uncle Larry tries to start or tell a story…Nope let me interject for no apparent reason with nothing extra to add.
Tom’s knowledge of stuff is hard to comprehend. Baffling
I agree
I believe the nibs are actually part of the binding not painted on.
I keep replaying the Ship Of Fools part.. man that was magical.
Two straight badass players right here.
This is the thing. You two need to make more appearances together. You guys are great on your own. But also fun together. Long live uncle Larry.
On the bench and fixing it...great vid, for sure
A Glimpse of the Buk, a Day in the life 😮 lol
Toms sick!! love this guy
The hand measuring was brilliant!! How many times I sit here wondering how Buk pulls one of these "adult" chords out and now it's as clear as day... The man is a sasquatch!! 😜
Great video guys! I set up all my guitars so this is so much fun to watch!
Love this!!
you guys are the shit ! Buk taken good care of his fellow musicians ... damn straight , this is gold brothers :>) thanx for your time guys !
You know what they say!?!? Big hands, Big feet. 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!! Excellent vid!!
Always interesting, never boring. Much respect...
Uncle Larry! Does it all!
Excellent video of two cats hanging out repairing and rambling on about setups, guitars and people…in the garage…love it…felt like that fly on the wall.
Hey thanks Mr. T, I could watch this sort of thing all day!!!✌️
Blue chip 👌 hawk eyes 👀
Great video, I wouldn’t hesitate buying this. 👍
Thanks for the informative and fun hang with Buko, Ford!
Wow what a great video.
Uncle Larry is loved and the coolest cat to ever leave Cleveland!!! but make sure he doesn't do that fancy lock shit with your strings🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cool episode guys ✌🏼✌🏼
Long time no see your videos Ford! And What a guest this time!
Have a nice day
Subscribed because of Uncle Larry

Phil played a game show host on Vice.

31:14 Great Ship of Fools! Love it, gonna have to learn it😁👍
🙏🙏
I subbed. Thx for the video
Is it me or does it seem likes ford’s favourite food is a brownie. Cool bridge tho. Love ur vids guys!

Wow one of the best versions of Ship of Fools
Robbie Blunt .... killer
Pittsburgh and Cleveland!
😳
My buddy bought one and had it shipped to canada, big difference in the sound
I'm ordering one for my 2019 les paul jr can't wait to get that guitar on stage or some recordings.
I’d pay for that performance at the end plugged in!
I had a Savvy put on a custom shop Les Paul jr a few weeks ago. It truly is everything these guys say it is. For me it made an already great guitar about ten times greater.
Amazing
Dude, I wish I could Uncle Larry to come over and do a setup on my SG. Let's hear you guys play some music. Cheers!
Epic vid fellas...✨️🌠
It was a blast
my 2nd Guitar , White SG jr 😢😢 The Sexyest Guitar EVER MADE
Love the funkiness of Ford’s playing! ❤ That other guy is pretty good too! Anyone know him? 😂
Thank you
For and Tom , not so bad 🎸😜
Jake E Lee played a SG just like that one on the Shot in the Dark video with Ozzy! Very cool.
5 Start! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sagi-Larry-us
Good profile shots of you with the non-Gildan shirt.
I think we need to convince Uncle Larry to get this album into the digital age or at least sell CDs somewhere. Maybe it’s me but I can’t find it
Hope that's what you're looking for :)
Gibson stopped using Brazilian Rosewood in 1969 on their regular production guitars, but special runs were made after that.
👍
Thank you Ford.
That entire bench was resonating! Where can I get me one of those bridges for my Jr?
call Glaser Instrument Repair in nashville...ask for Josh....they got the hookup
@@501chorusecho Thanks, brother!
Go listen to Hear About it Later, if you think Eddie wasn’t a great songwriter. Fun vid. Keep it up boys..👍
13:30 Does Ray Davies get a look-in on the "great songwriters in rock history" debate?
Loved hanging out! Thanks for posting this.
Larry, I have the exact guitar, mid 60's, that I refinished in white also, that I put a Leo Quan badass tunamatic bridge on to correct the problem. Am I going to gain anything to use the 'music city bridge' instead?
Ship of Fools was Doug Boyle? Very underrated player.
Bring back "tool shreds"
Thanks for the peek into ya'lls hang. Very cool. 2 very bad men.
You can tell that those guitars are very resonant and acoustically very loud. I’d love to know how high or low the action is set.
SG Jr. one of the ultimates. I have Savvy waiting for mine, just need to get it on there
What do you think of locking studs?
Wow! Years ago, I had the chance to buy a '59 Junior for cheap. You know, I wanted to love it, but it just didn't resonate in my hands or anything. So, I passed on it. Now I wish I owned it! HA! I think this bridge would help that guitar come to life. Ford, do you still use any of those Evertune guitars?
So cool !!! What’s the name of the song tom played at the end with the cool intro ?
Ship of Fools
Robert Plant
I was in Drum and Strum and got to play the Gibson ES=335 I heard you purchased ..........Just wondered what you think of it and was it worth the price???

Have to put Angus and Malcolm up at the top if you wanna rock n roll :)
Just subscribed to your channel Ford, but I've been a fan for awhile. I think Pete is actually around 6 feet. He just looks 1 foot taller than Daltrey who us 5'6", haha. Cheers
Great video. But yeah a 6 foot 6 musician? That’s a rarity. I can’t think of any that tall. They would look real awkward on stage.
@@tommythevenot7617 Tom Sholz is about that tall.
About the only one I can think of is Ray Benson from Asleep at the Wheel. He’s a mountain of man.

Did uncle Larry lock the strings when he put them on?
thats funny

Other people's shitty cheap guitars are someone's pride and joy
Brazilian rosewood was made illegal to import into the US in 1992.
Most important detail left out? Tom's Sagittarius, what's Ford?
Apparently Pete Townshend was 6 feet tall. All the sources say that. Lol
We all know online answers are correct, haha
Pete only looks 6’6” because Roger is 5’6” lol
Wow home schooled again
Hey Tom.. is it the rule..? The third time you adjust the bridge height you don’t need the rag..?😂
anything modeling Blows
They want people to sell there old Amps, hEy n0w
ya nibs are when the binding is over the fret
Yup
just bought 5 of them aliexpress 200$ each
Plays and sounds almost like a PRS now!
Pete Townshend is 6’
Pete just looks taller than he is because Roger is so short. Ha!
@@glennmuir5617 ha! Totally. Pete just looks tall because he has an elongated face and he has mostly been really thin
I have a 59 Les Paul Jimmy Page retro music city have a bridge for it? Everything is Jon the money except the bridge is crap.
