All my EQs went to noon when I saw that one. That color just pops with that carved top!
Little bit of baby poop brown going on in this one. I like when they're so gold they turn greenish (yes, I know that's oxidization of the copper flakes in the finish). But still... that thing is a beautiful baby poop!
I went all the way to eleven.

"No wonder they're going bankrupt!" LOL!!! "Carve the damn top!!!!!!"
Lmao. Now he's working for em. Wonder if they've seen this episode
@@Riffme81 i was thinking that too
I can't tell you how much I appreciate Mark demonstrating these classics by busting out some real music and not just lazily noodling/shredding.Well played Mark.
#GibsundayComesEarly #1953GoldTop
1) Lonely is the Nite/Billy Squier 🤘🏻
2) Hideaway/Freddie King 👑
3) Mr Brownstone/GnR 🤘🏻
freakin Holy Grail 🔥🔥🔥
have a bitchin weekend @markagnesi @manalophoto 🎥🎸
Mike M. It's so weird to see that you changed your profile picture. I think we all are used to your classic profile pic. Almost didn't recognize you
Winther Molina ha, maybe I should change it back
Mike M. Any guess on the price of that bad boy?
Dave S. hard to speculate, it’s a collectors market, like fine art (Picasso, Warhol’s) the buyer drives the mkt. my guess, $55-75k
Mike M. Hey mike that’s gorgeous LP especially with that carved top. Once again Mr agnesi totally nails those tunes. The next time he does a bass I would love to see him bust out a bit of royal blood they remind me of muse and qotsa anyway what’s your opinion of charvel guitars? Cheers 🍺🍺👍👍
When Mark opened the case I thought I heard angels singing.
Hytham Hammer .....that has to be one of the most perfect answers I have ever read......
You did ☺
then when he dragged his jacket zipper all over it they cried (".)
Geez, that guitar SPANKS!! Definately feeling the mojo on this one, it’ll be gone next week! If you guys could, next video or so, could you say hi to our boss Chris Christian? He’s fighting Parkinson’s Disease and he never misses an episode. Thanks guys!-Cody and James, VVV
Nice end of week, Scarf Agnesi
Love the Gold Top. Wish I could afford it. Great sound from when Gibson did it RIGHT!
Could be best Mark video yet. Informative, funny, Gibson 'criticism' and rockin playin.
P-90’s sound killer! Beautiful guitar!
Love this guy, love guitar of the day, I could watch him showcase guitars of the day all day everyday. Nothing like a vintage, thanks for it all Mark!
Mark is such a good Rock and Blues guitar player..I loved his version of Hideaway..I come here everyday to be inspired as a guitarist and to check out Mark Playing these amazing Rare Guitars and Basses..and of course to enjoy Jens Video work and occasion comments
Love how Mark is always peering around the corner.
Just beautiful, I'm in tears, tears of joy 😭😭😭
Note how far the Gibson logo is from the top of the headstock on those early Les Pauls
Les Paul Customs were the first guitars to use the stop tailpiece and Tune-o-matic
bridge together, I believe. I had a '54 Black Beauty with that tailpiece/bridge combo.
That may have been the first real production year, as I think I've read that the Custom
was being designed and prototyped in '53. This '53 Gold Top is just smashing. As
wonderful and rare as the '58-60 Bursts are, the Gold Tops have a mojo all their own.
P-90's are possibly the best all around pickups ever designed, at least in my opinion.
And the Gold Tops with humbuckers were also great. I lust love the P-90's on that
beautifully carved top.
That carved top really is a thing of beauty.
Mark Agnesi with a scarf is my spirit animal
So many of these to catch up on... but it's a great morning view with the coffee....
Such a bad ass guitar Mark had to wear his Negan outfit.
You're right mark. It does sound stupid good! Everyday watcher here. Love the show!
This guitar looks and sounds great. some nice playing once again Mark I love how you ended that last song, very cool.
I am a Fender guy but if I could have a Les Paul like this with P90s or a Junior, I am in. Nice.
Loved that comment about getting the top right on the reissues and that’s why they’re going bankrupt. The harsh but true honesty right there. Those tops back then are amazing
Mark, I think that was the best playing I’ve heard from you! Absolutely brilliant!
Another beautiful guitar. Incredibly craftsmanship
Guitar of the day will never be the same
God that guitar is amazing. Gibson P-90s are such great pickups. Much dynamic. So soapbar. Very Les Paul.
Freakin AWESOME Guitar! Wish I could afford one.........................
Awesome tone awesome player. I really enjoyed the show thank you 2 thumbs up.
I came across a 1957 Goldtop with PAF's and like new brown case from under a bed in Chicago back in 1977. Dark solid Mahogany body original strings and beginner book. Larry from "Axe in Hand" in DeKalb, Illinois came up and bought it from me at Palos Music Palos Heights, Illinois.The solid Mahogany body does not effect the sound enough to make them worth that much less than a maple cap burst.
Man I love that thing. Keep up the videos watch them while I do night shift.
I so want this guitar!!!!!!!!
Mark has one of the greatest jobs on Earth!!
This is what Norman's Rare Guitars is all about.
Hi my name is federico, i'm from italy and I love guitar of the day. Monday I turn 15
Now that's a top curve! Love the sound of the P90's. Great playing Mark! Byeeeeeeee Jen!!!
I wonder how much Mahogany does the zipper of Mark´s jacket has
Lol. I agree ...I was thinking the same thing. .
Holy crap! I just turned into a baby, started drooling and shit my pants 😍😍😍😍 my dream lp
Love the guitars but now I mainly come for Mark's playing. Killer work today, Hideaway...hats to Freddie! Great job as always!
53 Gold Top. Beautiful. Keep em coming Mark!🤘🏻⚡️
I want this guitar, it’s amazing
Very cool bass Norm is a master at finding the rare and Old stuff
Oh, hell yeah. Great playing, Mark!
"If they still did it like that I'd be out of a job." Nice.
No wonder it has road wear. If I walked into Norm’s with that jacket, would anyone let me touch a guitar? Beautiful instrument. My grandpa bought one new with the matching amp in ‘53 (and sold it for cheap to a buddy a few years later 😢). He is why my main baby is an LP (‘97). Maybe someday I’ll come play a gold top, but I’ll wear a cotton t-shirt. Cheers
Always enjoy your performance and guitar demos.
Always what?
Amazing tunes to this one, love the sound of the p90s
#ALLCAPSFORCARLOS
Its time for the Carlos to come back!
Beautiful curvaceous carved Goldtop Mr. Agnesi.
The Another Brick In The Wall (pt2) solo was played on a P90 Les Paul
Got to get me some p90s. Always loved the gold top
Les Paul. One still on my bucket list.
Billy Squier was so good - damned shame his "twink getting ready for his prom date" music video for 'Rock Me Tonight' killed his career as a rock star.
This is my dream guitar
Love these guitars.
I love how ""Chapman Guitars now available at Guitar Center"" is the sponsor of Normans Rare Guitars Guitar of the Day....
maybe you should start a new series "amp of the month"
sounds great Mark....
What a sound!!! Mark you rock!!🤘
Wow, that guitar has mojo and vibe to spare!
Too cool for color TV!
Great nails Jen !!!! Great work Mark as always!! 🎸
That is a beautiful piece of history! I actually own a similar one in miniature form! LOL
Outstanding Mr Brownstone
This came out on my birthday
It's a GREAT SOUNDING BEAUTY!!!
Amazing tone! Whew!!!
Whoo hoo nice ! Squirt sounds like the original record tone
Sweet looking guitar. Suits you and some damn fine playing
All I know about Guitar's is what I've learned on this channel. This is one very sexy looking and sounding instrument. Mark your variety and intensity of the music you okay is amazing. Worth the admission anytime. Thanks
Great job on Hideaway! Love that guitar!
I love the gold tops ! Freakin Beautiful !!!!!
They don't use the thick maple caps like back in the 50s. Can't do that deep of a carve on 1/4 inch of maple. Beautiful gold top. It made me peepee tingle!
That bad boy sounds amazing!
Great playing Mark...leads were smokin today.
That top carve!! Great playing
I can dig it.
Well played, well played.
That's one badass guitar for sure!
This year and the 57 are my favorite for gold tops. I will own at least one before I die.... hopefully haha
Ha, me too
Dis gold on dis guit looks like carmel! Or nacho cheese?.... 1. "Billy Squier "Lonely Is the Night" 2. Freddie King "Hideaway" 3 GNR " Mr Brownstone"(YES!) Why not?:-)
nice hideaway! thanks mark jen and norm
Love me a Goldtop!
Just got a Recording model. Cool sounding beast, way more interesting than any YT demo video of it I’ve seen. Hint: explore the Decade knob settings. They let you shape the pickups’ resonant peak frequencies.

Very nice
Love the Gibson dig.
Great playing!
Send some rain this side of the globe LoL it's so hot here!!!!! great video guys awesome 😘
That's my favorite Gibson right there! Followed closely by the '56 Goldtop with stopbar. Holy grail! (Still a Fender guy but, c'mon!)
And yes, Henry has been asking for it. Brand company... pfffffft! You're a GUITAR MAKING COMPANY!
I watch everyday!
Diggin’ the scarfs Mark.
Why do I have a feeling this one will end up in the Bonamassa collection?
It will join the collection of guitars solely used for playing boring shitty music
GOLD...
Does this really sound any different than a Junior of a similar vintage? I ask seriously 'cause I'm the drummer with the ""dead ear""
Anthony Kueber not by much, just more options
Fuller and woodier than juniors and specials to my ears. And a tad bit brighter too.
The ole lady give ya a love mark?... lots of scarves lately.
That's gotta be it. It's probably 80 outside lol
This one is the gayest yet, can't wait to see the next one
Norm turned the heat off.
dont see anything gay about wearing scarves.. even the coolest guys wore em Keith Richards is one Eric Clapton is another even Jimmy Page wore em. none of these guys are gay so why is it that wearing scarves makes a person gay?
NiagaraTim--- Marc Bolan too, & New York Doll's...wait those were Boa's...still dug it... it's only Rock n Roll, he should like it......
Beautiful, looks like melting butter and sizzles
Holy grail!
Love guitar of the day.!😉
all my ekg's went to noon when u playd . nice 1 markus :D ty
love dat hideaway
That "no wonder they are bankrupt" make me LOL~!!!
That was fricken rad.... Cheers!!
