💰New to Reverb? Get $10 on Me ➡️ reverb.grsm.io/earn10 Here's a piece of guitar info that you might need in the future to justify why someone has shot/drilled holes into their guitar. It's because they like the show Beck You can check out the show here: th-cam.com/video/bOgzCGtryF4/w-d-xo.html
Fun fact: all the guys in the band has their physical appearance and/or stage mannerisms based on real musicians. Ryuske, the lead guitarist (the guy with the LP) is based on Jimmy Page, Koyuki, the rhythm guitarist and lead character (the kid with the White Falcon, and later a yellow Tele) is based on Tom Morello, Chiba, the lead singer/rapper is based on Zach DeLaRocha, Taira, the bassist is based on Flea, and Saku, the drummer is based on Chad Smith (i think).
I thought Ryusuke was based off Cliff Burton from Metallica because of the hair but I can see him as Jimmy Page. As for Taira and Chiba I got the guys they were based off of pretty fast (Taira also plays a MusicMan StingRay like Flea, which I loved because Flea inspired me to buy a StingRay for myself)
The “bullet holes” were made with a 1/2” drill bit, then chipped out and distressed around the edges to create the “entry wound”. The holes are accurate to the anime, but are 100% tool made.
Yeah was just thinking that, if it was actually shot the back of that would be unrecognizable- and on top of that all of the holes are the exact same size and at the exact same entry-angle.
Ive spent more time around bullets than guitars. By the looks of this guitar, a drill bit was used. I think if slugs that size were used, it would destroy the guitar. Cool story though. 🤘
I totally agree. 7 big holes, my first thought was 1911 but the holes look too big. The back tearing out alone would destroy it especially with a caliber that big. I’d love to own a relic guitar with a bullet hole though! Great idea.
@@remb9614 1911 with expansion would make about a .7 inch hole. If using FMJ, the hole would likely be about .5 inches. 9mm would expand (again assuming hollow points) to around .6--but they start out around .4 inches (same with .380, .38 Special and .357 Magnum which are all 3 the same size projectile as 9mm). This would be consistent with a .45 fmj hole in wood but as others have mentioned the holes on the back would likely not be straight through due to the round basically blowing out the back of the guitar. It is possible with enough energy (like if shot with a Barrett .50 to get a clean through and through hole through a guitar but I would be shocked if someone shot a guitar with a Barrett). A handgun caliber would lose energy too quickly to be a through and through and would cause enough negative deceleration to transfer its energy to the guitar itself which would lead to a bigger hole in the back than in the front. If one attempted to fire a handgun that had this amount of energy, the recoil of such a weapon would blow the gun out of the shooters hand. It would very likely require a long gun to do this. If we wanted to believe this was ACTUALLY shot, a 20 g shotgun with a slug would be the best contender as slugs (round) are NOT made to transfer energy and could pass right through. 20 g slugs are around .6 so that would be bigger than these holes, however. a .410 (which is acutally .45 inches) slug could create these size holes but I would question that a .410 has enough energy. Short answer--it would have to be a long gun to make these holes. A handgun could not have that level of energy. A VERY hot .45 Long Colt (not 1911) fmj fired through a rifle (Henry makes those) maybe could do this.
@@drjsmajorI was thinkin a lead slug from a shotgun would tear out the back even worse then a rifle. Big slow lead slugs dont tend to penetrate very well and stay together. So maybe a 50bmg idk lol. Might have to try this out!
After having watched this video I looked up Beck and I honestly ended up binge watching the entire anime in about a day, that series was absolutely hilarious and after having seen the actual context of Ryusuke’s guitar I would definitely rock this
This anime was one of the first things that really turned me towards guitar, I think it was really well done and unique. I would definitely rock a Lucille Les Paul.
Beck Mongolian chop squad was the show I watched as a kid, that made me finally bug my dad to get me a guitar. 20 years later, A shot up les paul is very sentimental for me lol
i remember in sophomore year while everyone was enjoying Halloween i was alone, ended up finish up the BECK series. As lame as it sounds, Full Moon Sway holds a special place in my heart. Great music anime, for fans of both music and anime.
Hey Austin! In the flash of BB King and Lucille, on the left side is my brother, Tony Coleman, BB’s long time drummer. In fact, I talked to BB myself and helped him get BACK with BB after a separation period. TC has an autographed copy of Lucille. Pretty cool.
Even though i play lefty I would totally rock it, watched Beck MCS ages ago and LOVED it so I get all giddy whenever it gets mentioned on youtube. Would rock.
The show BECK features a guitar that a former blues man had owned and then is owned by a young up and coming song writer. The guitar was shot when the previous owner fell into some bad dealings, part of the anime plot.
would totally rock that guitar. I loved that show. In the last episode when the band takes the stage and the main character busts out "I've Got A Feeling" by the Beeetles I got chills and nearly cried. Great show for people looking back at their first garage band in high school. You can find Beck with English audio if you're not into subtitles.
I would absolutely rock one of those Les Pauls provided that I could get the neck pickup to work and that there was a substantial discount for the damage.
Awesome! I was actually playing some songs from the Anime on my guitar last night (for the first time in years). Then this morning I open up TH-cam and see this video! Crazy coincidence. 😁
Oh my, my childhood! I love this anime, I was obsessed with it (can you recognize from my nickname here on yt?) and it was what got me into guitars and playing music! I suggest anyone watch it, but if you can avoid the english dubbed version, they changed some of the music (and yes, the soundtrack is amazing!)
Joe Perry has a guitar that was shot, by RS Guitarworks. Although that was part of a whole gunslinger vibe, but according to a very old rig rundown (I think the old Dunlop version rather PG) they did shoot it to get the bullet hole rather than fake it. Ron Wood has an LP with a 'bullet hole' around the controls, but that was badly installed now removed gizmo but he didn't get the jagged hole fixed. Although this was back in the 90s so might have by now.
That's pretty cool I thought I was the only one to shoot a guitar with a gun because I have a 25 caliber hole in my strat from a pellet rifle i have but I was unlucky enough to crack the wood at the same time, the holes in this guitar is way bigger and didn't even crack it, They are perfect holes, that's pretty awsome, whoever shot it got lucky
Big PSA for those who do want a guitar like this. A french company Custom77 makes Lucille models as a standard offering. It's not 100% Les Paul spec (good since Gibson been a little trigger happy lately) but it's a really well made guitar and very affordable too! About $740 after international shipping to the US. So to answer the rock or not question, Yes! In fact I already do! www.custom77.com/eng/c77/guitars/classic-series/london-s-burning_2_457.html?&prevselect=1069-208,1174-457,1307-772&posslider=1
For another guitar/music related anime I would recommend K-On!, and though it also has lots of general slice of life and "cute girls doing cute things" elements in it, and the level of detail in the instruments is quite high. The show is actually the reason I want a CAR Mustang for myself.
Fender made guitars based on beck as well based on the singers guitar one being a telecaster and then a Jaguar. They're both pretty normal I believe other than a decal on the back of the headstock with the beck logo.
@@BudiPrasetyoHarsono ah yeah it's an orange Mustang. I remembered wrong since I have only seen imagines of it since I have read the manga. Only seen the anime and live action film.
Oooh a Gretch White Falcon is making me drool. Little story about an early 80 WF. Somebody mentioned he could get one very reasonably priced. So hence I owned a really cool Gretch. After thoroughly inspecting it. This is before computers. I get the serial number and do some history on it. Short story, it was stolen off a Fed Ex truck and I happened to sorta through somebody that knew the guy. Contacted him and told him what I had. Poor bastard was in tears whilst hugging and thanking me. That my friends, was a good day 👍
saw this guitar first on BECK the live action where the story of this guitar was shown in the movie. Love this guitar! if anyone wants to watch it, just watch the live action :D
just sold my first les paul on a regional facebook music gear for sale group. Guy turned up the next day with cash, I guess I underpriced it. I did want to ask how you know the production numbers of various gibson guitars even by colour by year. I couldnt find it published anywhere. Is that just years of experience? Thanks Pete
beck is an amazing show. 11/10 would recommend to anyone, especially music people. the soundtrack is awesome, the band beat crusaders are featured heavily in the show and they kick ass as well. i have 59 les paul dark cherry burst (epiphone standard outfit version) and i got it mostly because of this show, im definitely not putting bullet holes in it though lmfao. in fact im thinking of seeing if i can trade it in for a yamaha pacifica.
Hey Austin...cool video and story! I've always had a fascination with Japanese culture, growing up with 70s cartoons and Godzilla of course... what a cool cartoon! I'll have to check it out! Thanks for sharing! 😎🎸🐦🤘
Love how Austin says in the beginning he will explain this and does so in this video, yet people are commenting why someone shot this guitar seven times. Great job people of the internet.
Its an option to a chambered guitar. Some people cant afford a luthier. Id be interested weight before and after. You could paint it t v. Yellow although might make it look cheesy
We used to stab my 73 strat with buck knife while on stage. B and I got in a fight once, and he stabbed my vintage strat while I was playing it. It made an awesome noise and left a cool ding... I wasn't even mad. So, we started to do it every show and I'd leave the knife in for most of the set.
Hey! I’m just curious. Have you ever seen or heard of the epiphone American series guitar produced in 1982? It’s a tiny blip in gibson history but you really don’t see too many or let alone hear of too many on the market today. I have one of these guitars, an epiphone American series sg special II manufactured in the gibson Kalamazoo Michigan plant in 1982. If you could dig up some more information or get your hands on one I think it would be an awesome review with a bit of gibson history around the time of the “law suit” guitars.
This reminded me of the story about Gibson exec's bringing a stratocaster to a shooting range, for a second I thought this may have been Fender's revenge as I've never seen the anime. I'd still rock it...
My question is not why/who shot this LP, it's why didn't I recieve a notification for this video. Trogly's content is my apolitical respite from current events, come on TH-cam.
Hell yes I’d rock this guitar! I play a ton of live gigs and this would be a huge conversation piece. I’d imagine some people would know what was going on, but 99% of the crowd would be absolutely dumbstruck! I do weird things to my guitars before I head on stage, like putting rhinestone on the edges or wrapping a crazy piece of fabric around them, wherever it makes sense to do so. I wouldn’t shoot, or rather. Drill into my guitar to make it look like it’s been shot. Unless I was playing a beater guitar. Maybe? But I would definitely bring this on stage. It’s too bad it’s in Japan. I’d buy this right now if I could.
Hey Trogly! What do you think about the Gibson ES 339 Traditional Pro? It seems that it was a limited run between 2012-2013, there aren't many of those out there and not a single review in depth like yours Love the show! Greetings from Spain!
Definitely drilled and the detailed to imitate. Anyway the ballistics would most likely result in more overall damage unless those are .50 cal solid steel bullets that won't mushroom at all. Even so I'd have to see it to believe it.
Actually, you're wrong. A bullet that fast could make a clean hole in the front, especially considering you don't know what they shot with, or any of such. I'd say don't do some "conspiracy theories" unless you actually know for sure it isn't bullet holes, cause you don't know who did it and if they used a gun or not.
@@SuicidalGrind Nah, the two upper holes on the left would've made some major cracks if they were real bullet holes. They're drilled and messed with to imitate bullet hole, same with the pickguard.
Wowser😱 That’s Banana 🍌 ‘s 😵 I’m really Diggin’ your channel here 📺 I can’t believe I’ve learned more about Les Paul’s in the last 8 months watching your channel here than anywhere else at one time 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 I was wondering if you would do a a show on, and/or again, but maybe a different aspect of, say those BFG GLP’s ? Only Gibson ? No Epiphone ? After seeing one at the local Guitar Center 8 months ago, then that night scouring the Web, looking for another and trying to figure out if it was a custom finish and a one of a kind style looking surface and then I found the episode you did on one and that’s when I became a fan and have been watching ever since 🎸 Anyways, I’ve been doing some searching since and it appears their are other color finishes, is that true ? When did these come out and is it just from Gibson and not Epiphone ? Are these considered middle to upper class, in the terms of decent pricing for Les Paul’s ? Do you personally like them ? Why can’t I get off this one Green Crocodile 🐊 looking guitar ? Keep up the good work !!! 🌵

Thanks,

In the anime, a 3rd string character referred to Ryuske as a "Japanese Jimmy Page", so.... there's that too.
Lmao ...back when I read it I thought they meant jimmy hendrix lol...I swear ryuske used a white strat....my memory sucks
@@e7thstar actually he does use a strat while in new york, I think it was a Hendrix tribute
@@muletsag300 ok thank you. I was like, I swear I remember a full panel shot of him with it
The “bullet holes” were made with a 1/2” drill bit, then chipped out and distressed around the edges to create the “entry wound”. The holes are accurate to the anime, but are 100% tool made.
Yeah was just thinking that, if it was actually shot the back of that would be unrecognizable- and on top of that all of the holes are the exact same size and at the exact same entry-angle.
The position of these holes is correct - that was the first thing I checked:)
Absolutely... only one 50 would turn it into tooth pics
Yeah. In the Anime it was shot with a 9mm and at an upward angle. The player was on a stage, and shooter in the crowd.
Came here to say this. Well spotted. I'll see myself out.
"dad can i buy a guitar"
"which anime character plays a guitar"
Koyuki, the reason I got a telecaster as my 1st electric guitar haha
Havent even started watching the video except for "came across this in Japan" and already thought Beck Mongolian Chop Squad
dude me too, the tele, sg, and 69 mustang are all guitars i ended up getting because of beck! i started playing in bands because of that too lol
Still listen to their stuff to this day, my favorite show and main reason I started playing guitar and wanting a white falcon lol
Not a guitarist and don't have a Stingray. But Taira was one of the reasons I'm in the band right now
Same reason for me as well. Koyuki is my guitar hero!
"Why is this guitar shot 7 times? Well it's from an anime"
Say no more...
Beck was literally life changing for me
read the manga for Beck and it was really good. I would rock this les paul if I got the chance because I enjoyed the manga so much.

Read the manga it has 50 more chapters
This anime was one of the first things that really turned me towards guitar, I think it was really well done and unique. I would definitely rock a Lucille Les Paul.

Neat
That was a great show! This is like my only series show I follow.I really look forward to each nights show.Great job Austin.
Hey love the show from Australia to shout out to the country
DIY chambering.
New custom shop weight relief technique
Maybe kiss could use it in one of their live shows! Smoke coming out ou the bullet holes instead of the dummy pickup.
Watch the anime: Beck Mongolian Chop Squad!!! To figure it out
It’s such a good anime, certainly probably the best music one at least.
YES
Ulises Velasquez true
ngl i havent watched it but i feel like K-on has a contender now,lol
One of my favourites! Brilliant anime. Shame its so difficult to get a hold of nowadays.
Fun fact: Fender Japan made limited edition guitars (a tele and a Jaguar) for the shows release.
Close. A Tele and a Mustang, actually, and they were released for the manga.
Well, Austin, sure beats the 8-hole weight relief Gibson uses. I'd definitely ROCK this.
Brought back some memories of the show. Definitely would rock it. :)
Yoooo! I immediately recognized the guitar from the cover image. I loved Beck, that anime was freaking awesome. I would 100% rock that guitar.

Love the effect on the “cheap.....dirty...knock-off counterfeit”. Made me laugh! 😁😁👍🏽

Another fine episode!
I got back into guitars after rereading Beck for the first time in years earlier last year
So happy you covered this! Also great to finally put a face to the voice!
Awesome! I was actually playing some songs from the Anime on my guitar last night (for the first time in years). Then this morning I open up TH-cam and see this video! Crazy coincidence. 😁
I love when anime goes full send on depicting instruments. FLCL 4ever!

I wouldnt say avoid it, this anime both the dubbed and subbed are amazing and i personally recomend watching both

Demolitia Ranch and Granger smith shot a bunch of guitars, but they were cheap ones from a pawn shop.
Would love to rock that guitar. Really enjoy the show it's from. I also enjoy the info received from watching you channel.

That's pretty cool I thought I was the only one to shoot a guitar with a gun because I have a 25 caliber hole in my strat from a pellet rifle i have but I was unlucky enough to crack the wood at the same time, the holes in this guitar is way bigger and didn't even crack it, They are perfect holes, that's pretty awsome, whoever shot it got lucky
omg the memories! an absolute must see if you go to tokyo as a guitarist, visit Ochanomizu!
hey! I am pretty sure the guitar in the TV show was called "prudence"
Yes I would buy it at that price because it looks so cool.
man! one of the reason i learned to play guitar. BECK!
Anything to relieve that heavy body. It’s honestly pretty neat!
I’ve been wanting one of the Beck telecasters that Fender Japan made for soooo long but the market has gotten so hot on them it’s insane.

This reminded me of the story about Gibson exec's bringing a stratocaster to a shooting range, for a second I thought this may have been Fender's revenge as I've never seen the anime. I'd still rock it...
Literally my favorite Anime
Yes I would because sounds amazing
...and I freak out over a little “ding”!
It would be cool to see a guitarist perform on stage with this or a similar shot up guitar and then on an interview and share this story
My question is not why/who shot this LP, it's why didn't I recieve a notification for this video. Trogly's content is my apolitical respite from current events, come on TH-cam.
Yes, Yes I would rock it
Yes I would, to me it gives it chacter, love it
I know it's been said but def. drill bit and then chipping. Looks pretty cool though.
Hell yes I’d rock this guitar! I play a ton of live gigs and this would be a huge conversation piece. I’d imagine some people would know what was going on, but 99% of the crowd would be absolutely dumbstruck! I do weird things to my guitars before I head on stage, like putting rhinestone on the edges or wrapping a crazy piece of fabric around them, wherever it makes sense to do so. I wouldn’t shoot, or rather. Drill into my guitar to make it look like it’s been shot. Unless I was playing a beater guitar. Maybe? But I would definitely bring this on stage. It’s too bad it’s in Japan. I’d buy this right now if I could.
That is so awesome. I’d totally jam with that
Hey Trogly!
What do you think about the Gibson ES 339 Traditional Pro?
It seems that it was a limited run between 2012-2013, there aren't many of those out there and not a single review in depth like yours
Love the show!
Greetings from Spain!
I saw it and immediately knew it was a reference to Beck Mongolian Chop Squad, lmao good one
Yes! Definitely!
those holes are too round to be bullet holes
Definitely drilled and the detailed to imitate. Anyway the ballistics would most likely result in more overall damage unless those are .50 cal solid steel bullets that won't mushroom at all. Even so I'd have to see it to believe it.
@@marka.200 wood splinters with high velocity impact. the back would have cone shaped craters blown out of it
Agreed, bullets would have destroyed the front and back, it would never be that clean. Its quite obvious tbh... But I guess click-bait
Actually, you're wrong. A bullet that fast could make a clean hole in the front, especially considering you don't know what they shot with, or any of such. I'd say don't do some "conspiracy theories" unless you actually know for sure it isn't bullet holes, cause you don't know who did it and if they used a gun or not.
@@SuicidalGrind Nah, the two upper holes on the left would've made some major cracks if they were real bullet holes. They're drilled and messed with to imitate bullet hole, same with the pickguard.
Have you ever reviewed or came across a Kramer Ferrington?
What pickups do you recommend to a beginner on a budget
"I warned you not to play that damn thing at 3:00 in the morning!"
Wowser😱 That’s Banana 🍌 ‘s 😵
I’m really Diggin’ your channel here 📺
I can’t believe I’ve learned more about
Les Paul’s in the last 8 months watching your channel here than anywhere else at one time 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I was wondering if you would do a a show on, and/or again, but maybe a different aspect of, say those BFG GLP’s ?
Only Gibson ? No Epiphone ?
After seeing one at the local Guitar Center 8 months ago, then that night scouring the Web, looking for another and trying to figure out if it was a custom finish and a one of a kind style looking surface and then I found the episode you did on one and that’s when I became a fan and have been watching ever since 🎸 Anyways, I’ve been doing some searching since and it appears their are other color finishes, is that true ?
When did these come out and is it just from Gibson and not Epiphone ?
Are these considered middle to upper class,
in the terms of decent pricing for
Les Paul’s ? Do you personally like them ?
Why can’t I get off this one Green Crocodile 🐊 looking guitar ?
Keep up the good work !!! 🌵
Yeah, I would. I'm a huge 70s prog rock fan. That was cool and nerdy....so is this guitar's back story.
