That was awesome Trevor and Mark. Finally Gibson has good leadership in charge! This facility generates excitement and being able to custom pick your neck and other parts is really smart marketing.
Even this lifelong Fender fan and collector is happy to say that is a magnificent facility. Absolutely stunning. However, even the most ardent Gibson fan will have to admit that it's likely to never recoup a profit on what is clearly a capital cost of seven figures--and I'm not counting the vintage guitars inside, just the project, build, and maintenance cost. It's the kind of place which will draw the fans from far and wide, who will walk around in awe. And when the sales person says "And what will you like to buy today?" will reply "One t-shirt. Large".
As sad as at it is, I am glad that there are cheaper alternatives for guitars out there. Things like this really are for musicians. Which is cool to look at, but will never be for the average hobbyists/working man
Come on Mark! There's a lot of Lefties among guitar and bass players! With the the money Gibson has you could at least accommodate us Lefties! C'mon man! Hello from 🇨🇦
It’s so funny to hear how they describe the used guitar condition. I almost never hear “very good” from Mark and others. They just say “clean”. What does that even mean? I wanna hear them say “mint” or “near mint” or “fair”.
Hilarious how Gibson is trying so hard to brand itself as "garage"--- working class and all that street cred--' real working class. It's a full scale branding effort for overpriced guitars. They didn't buckle down to build better guitars; they just buckled down to try and re brand and sell the public a better story, a working class narrative.
To be fair, that facility will sell an awful lot of t-shirts to the 98% of people who visit who are Mr and Mrs Average and will never be able to afford a brand new burst let alone one of the original 1959s which are worth so much because so few were made ... because in 1959 so few were interested in buying one. Maybe Gibson is following the Ferrari model. Ferrari sell more key rings than cars.

Mark did a great job with the place and you can tell he's really passionate about it. Glad to see it's a genuine endeavor on his part.
Whoa this needs more views. Amazing tour.
Mark is so bad ass! You can actually see him walking around in there, too.
Hey Mark..great to see you...
That hidden room is fucking psycho in the best way possible

idk why but this is hilarious lmaooo
i just recently went their and was obviously blown away!
I keep seeing all these TH-cam videos on this place and every time it makes me want to plan a vacation to Nashville.
A giant leap from “Guitar of the Day”.
This is the greatest crossover since Jimmy Neutron and Timmy Turner hung out 😂😂😂😂😂
They should open this other cities as well. Great job Mark
There is one in London.
Great video! The Gibson garage looks phenomenal, what a moment to cherish! Cheers
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I’m a Gibson guy, however that Kramer George lynch guitar????classic!
My wife and I had been planning a US road trip pre COVID. Definitely swinging past the Garage at some future date when those plans are resurrected.
Had to pause this in the middle while I hyperventilated and emptied my drool bucket .
Im just imagining the Oceans 11 team going over the plan to break into the vault XD
Another reason to visit Nashville👍🏻
they only need a Korina Explorer now :)

And?
An incredible facility that will have cost seven figures. They'll sell a lot of t-shirts.
Holy shit! That's pretty damn cool!
Sad how sometimes Gibson "cares" and sometimes it doesn't. I think PRS has always cared. I hope they always do, long after Paul is gone.

Mark Agnesi!
If I ever win the lottery, I will get Mark to design my house!
very nice place.. gibson should own these 50s guitars to copy their historics from..
No jazz guitars?

OMG
The lefty comment hurt my soul...being an outcast southpaw jk.
Yep hurts doesn't it! Gibson leaves us Lefties out, sad,,,
I'm a dribbling mess
I cant wait til we can all walk around without masks again. ....acoustic custom.....cool
man....
just sucks that Gibson's CS is truly still crap - see the latest scandal re Murphy lab guitars!!

another sad pauper, if complaints were money, you'd be rich!
@@jamesreeves4600 And then I could afford a bottom of the line Gibson. Which of course would need work

Came here for cars...left with nothing.
What a waste of money
