    According to what I found on the internet, an offer for the ORIGINAL BUSH SHOES was made in the amount of 10 MILLION DOLLARS......

    Good call on building it yourself. I am a hobby luthier and it is great fun, plus you really bond with the instrument. If you haven’t found Stewmac and Luthiers Mercantile yet, they are two good sources for quality parts. 🤘

    Mid to late 80’s was the best time to purchase Gibson and fender guitars , very few wanted them because the didn’t have stripes and Floyd roses and the were cheap used . I’ve got a 72 strat and a 81 Gibson les Paul custom both were under 800 at the time .

    If you are a Les Paul guy and you are looking for a handbuilt guitar check Mensinger and Maybach guitars in europe. They are not cheap but 100% handbuilt.

    I agree 100%. I doubt very many rock stars paid for the guitars they play. That's cheap advertising for them. I wonder how much Apple pays TV and movie producers for using iphones in their productions and we get to listen to that iphone ring tone that I hate.

  • @chriskoch2465

    I agree with gibson being too much money. Epiphone and squiers are great guitars and are made of the same woods as their parent companies, people dont do their research. I have a sg epi thats made of the same wood from gibson! And the pickups are what they use to put in les pauls, Guitar was only 135$

  • @JakobCreutzfeldt2562

  • @stevestambaugh6501

    Buy a kit and build it will give you some idea of the work involved. But buy all the woods they use and build completely from scratch you give you a lot to do.

    @SirSneakerPimp 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Danny,
    I think the best option for you is Warmoth Guitars. Go to their website and TH-cam channel. You will get the exact guitar you want. How do I know that…because they will build it exactly the way you ask. From the headstock to the strap buttons, you tell them what to do. Since you want an LP style body, theirs is called Regal. I think I’ve mentioned Warmoth to you when I showed you Darrell Braun’s channel about another LP alternative.

  • @barkeater9606
    @barkeater9606 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So true! Last year I built a tele style guitar with all quality parts. The body and neck were from Warmouth, CTS pots, Gotoh locking tuners, Monty’s pickups, ect. It cost me $1400 and it is a great guitar. My friend has a Fender custom shop 63 Telecaster and my parts guitar sounds better. He paid over $4000 for his guitar. This is stupid!

    They say the nitro cellulose finishes on vintage guitars are more brittle allowing the guitar to resonate more. What I say? Calling BS on that my friend . Keep up the good work , Gibson should hire you as a " Reality Check Consultant" !

    6 and 5 figure price guitars are for rich people, many are bought as a luxury investment that will typically retain value or increase value, what's is the cost difference off a can of Monster energy drink vs bottled or tap water? I would not buy a 6-figure guitar if I were wealthy unless I was insured a return on my investment.

  • @peterschmidt9942
    @peterschmidt9942 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Haha you think like me Danny. I've bought a lot of cheaper guitars over the years and just do the work myself as well. I figure buying the tools is an investment and over a lot of guitars, more than pay for themselves.
    I can understand that if someone famous played it, then the values going to be increased just because of that player. The high second hand market value of Gibson's (and Fenders for that matter), it's crazy. They're used guitars and should be priced accordingly. And just because it's an old guitar, doesn't mean it's worth more. Some of those old guitars were dogs to play - hence why they were offloaded.
    I remember back in the late 80's/early 90's when you couldn't give a Gibson away as everyone was buying PRS (because they were so much better). Wow, how times have changed.
    I also can't understand that relic'ing crap were they charge extra for a guitar that looks like it was never cared for. I own plenty of guitars and each still looks brand new for the ones I bought new. The second handers still have scuffs though.
    I do miss the pre-internet times when you could walk into any pawn shop and pick up unknown guitars cheap. Now with the internet, they all can find out what people are willing to pay from previous sales. But I suppose by the same token, it's easier to obtain particular guitars by searching.
    BTW Check out www.artistguitars.com.au - they're great bang for buck. They've also got a US site too (www.artist-guitars.com). I use them as a base for projects all the time as it works out cheaper for me and the hassle ordering from Thomann (if you're after standard strat, tele, LP shaped guitars).

    • @guitarhobbywithdannythemedic
      @guitarhobbywithdannythemedic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thanks for the link. about if famous ppl play it, to me, it isnt worth any more or less than actual price of the wooden thing with metal bits.. because its not like I get to keep angus in a basement to play for me at my whim.. total brainwashing baloney, like how PRS got some "acutally stained by paul" guitars....

  • @22AH26
    @22AH26 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m a 25 year old who makes okay money not great and I have a 2022 Gibson Les Paul standard 50’s and I love it.
    I’ve had a few Gibsons I’ve had no trouble selling (most were sg’s) but I love Gibson guitars. Growing listening to my favorite bands they all used either Les Pauls or SG’s
    I’ve had many epiphones and they were very good guitars but I didn’t feel much when playing it. Everyone has their own opinions. In my opinion I think fender strats and teles feel very cheap and I don’t think the American ones are any better than the Mexican ones or even any of the latest high end squires.
    So personally I think some Gibsons are worth the money. Maybe not the custom shop though.

  • @Barbarapape
    @Barbarapape 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Guitar makers and sellers will charge as much as the market will stand, and as you have said people are like sheep,
    they believe all the hype around a certain must have product or brand without ever checking that what they are buying is a good product.
    If You search on TH-cam, without fail all the big reveiwers get the latest must have product for free, hype it to the hilt, and within hours
    they have sold out, then the greedy ones sell their free sample at way above full retail price.
    A fool and his money are easily parted, but you have more sense Danny.
    Just keep looking for your dream guitar, as this recession takes hold there will be plenty to choose from at more sensible prices.

    @sometimesdimneverthin 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    A guitar should cost £1500 at most and probably less. There might be exceptions if the fretboard is made from dodo beaks, hen's teeth, unicorn tail etc. The real money is in labour and materials not magic. A good guitar can be built for £1000 so any more would need pricier materials.

  • @bobwasmycat
    @bobwasmycat 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The first guitar I ever played was my father's 1952 Les Paul. It was a 100% original guitar in fantastic condition. Unfortunately it was a terrible guitar. The best way to describe it is "a log with frets". Dull and lifeless sounding guitar. He traded it on a pair of really nice guitars and amp that we still play today. No regrets. Some sucker probably has Dad's old Les Paul hanging in a collection of other useless guitars. Collectors are strange rich people with nothing better to do than buy things to brag about. My opinion.

    I built a partscaster tele and spared no expense, it cost roughly 1100.00 and I love it. I also bought a Gibson Les Paul special for 1500. Great guitar! Wraparound bridge, p90s, hard shell case. While I agree that vintage guitars are crazy money, anything built in America will still be pushing 2000. if it’s quality. I love the show!

    But you have to understand some guitars are just investments, you buy them for 40.000 this year and you sell them for 50.000 next year, why are some pieces of art so expensive? Or a Pokemon card? They stop being considered musical instruments and just a collectors piece

  • @lumberlikwidator8863
    @lumberlikwidator8863 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have owned two Gibsons in the past, a mid-sixties Melody Maker and an early-seventies Les Paul Deuxe. The Melody Maker was a cheap piece of garbage, with noisy, weak single coil pickups and you could barely hear the high E string when you played it. The Les Paul was one of those cheapos with the multi-layer pancake bodies and mini humbuckers that sound like crap. I don't miss either of these guitars. The guitars I have now are much better in terms of tone, playability and quality of fit and finish. I like Agile singlecuts and Ibanez Artists. With a good setup and new strings these guitars are light years better than the vintage Gibsons I had years ago. I think the only thing better about old guitars was that some of them had nicer quality wood. But in every other way--quality, consistency, electronics, tone, playability, fit and finish--I much prefer newer guitars. Let other people pay top dollar for some Gibsons just because they are old. Give me a new or gently-used Agile or Ibanez very time!

    I may start another Debate... Danny, Perhaps another topic for your vids... Why is everyone these days having "Signature Models" Made out there?? I Can see Maybe a Slash Or an Eric Johnson, But there are people I haven't even Heard of getting A signature Model. Wait a week and Someone else will have a signature Model. Wait Danny, Maybe in a month at this rate you will have a signature Model out there too. I remember you may see One or two Signature Models come out in a Year, Now it seems like once a week and what criteria is there to for someone to Have a signature Model made for them for Petes sakes. Some of these people I haven't even heard of........ What's up with that??

    The Epiphone Les Paul is every bit as good as the Gibson Les Paul . The Gibson will cost more than 4 times more money but its not a better Les Paul but its a more expensive . The Gibson has an inferior finish .

    • @guitarhobbywithdannythemedic
      @guitarhobbywithdannythemedic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Epiphone models that gibson makes, If they made gibsons like that, I would never have started complaining about them but they need to be half the price. Gibson's inspired by epiphones are much better than gibson gibsons because: lesser angle of the neck, scarf joint, durable finish, more practical bridge design, and none of that stupid nubs at the end of the frets!
