the tone off this guitar is amazing just goes to show when you love what you do it carrys through in all you do
It helps to have a completely aged well played guitar built with excellent tone woods. The Martin grail myth had haunted me for 40 years and then I had the luck to try a beat to s...t 1945 D45 (adirondack / brazilian). I was blown away. The entire box resonated completely on the slightest tickle of the strings making the the most amazing sound I have ever heard for an acoustic. A lot of the war time and post war time guitars are the most sought after for this level of response.
Hammer Head. your right magic is created when the right kinds of wood work together for tone harmony
Hammer Head Tone wood is a myth man.....let the fighting begin.
joking.....I'm joking.
Mark Agnesi A History of Modern Guitars should be a book I can buy for Christmas.
Seconded. Mark' - the walking guitar encyclopedia - needs to write it all down and publish it. I'll buy that!
After a longggggg week, the simplicity of that first song was absolutely perfect!!!!! Mr. Guitarlos , wouldn't you agree? Have a good weekend brothers & sisters
The most balanced sounding Gibson acoustic I've heard Mark play. What a lovely sound and looks great. This one I would feel honored to own.
Man that Southern Jumbo rings out loud & proud. When talking Gibsons of this era, that banner statement is totally the truth. Great playing Mark.
Let's get a 12 string one of these Fridays.
I have really enjoyed learning about Gibson's acoustic guitars over the past year on Flat top Fridays. For one reason or another I have never played very many of them and although I always figured they were quality instruments for some reason I always assumed that they were not he equal of Martins. But I have come to realize that this is not the case at all. They seem to have quite a different quality of sound than Martins. Not better or worse just different. One of my favorite things about GOTD is how much I learn about vintage guitars. I can only imagine how busy you guys are but it would be really fun to see a side by side comparison of various Gibson acoustics and the equivalent Martin models. Oh well just another job for when you have nothing else to do. Anyway thanks again I look forward to this every day.
Some of the old Gibson's like this have a great tone but i've found many old Gibson acoustics sound really dead. I've found old Martin's seem to age a bit better than Gibson but really you will find good and bad from both when it comes to vintage guitars.
It's all subjective and personal preference really. I prefer Gibson and I concur, I love the history behind these vintage guitars! Cheers..
I agree with all that. I just can't enjoy the sound of Taylor's much. I do like Gibson's but i prefer Martin mostly because when i use acoustics, it's used to sit in the mix rather than be a focal point. If i was needing an acoustic for character and to stand out in a mix or drive the song, then i'd probably go with Gibson but as you say, that's just generalising. I'm sure you can make all of them work for most scenarios if you want to.
You are absolutely right that Gibson and Martin guitars are different. I don't think one is better that the other. Listen to Mark's playing of Old Man. The guitar sound is NOTHING like Neil's D45(?) - Yet it's still good...
Jim Bonacum I think you are right on the money. I play an older Taylor for my main stage instrument, and it hasn't been till recently when I started even considering a gibson as its replacement or another guitar in my arsenal. Truth? it took a trip to norms to look at some of the 50s era gibsons that just kinda knocked my socks off. So yeah, great comment and all true.
the thing was indeed a beast. fucking loud and resonant
The best sounding acoustic that I have ever heard. Rings.
1.This Land Is Your Land(how beautifully corny..:-0) 2. Neil Young "Old Man"3.Thorough blugrassy wacking!
Kalamazoo gals. Priceless. Rosie the riveter had a pal in Greta the guitar builder. By the way Rosie's plaque is at Mare Island naval base in Vallejo where she served. My grandmother was a Rosie the riveter on the east coast.
Mark's information comes from my book (thanks, Mark!), Kalamazoo Gals. I call the Gal "Laura the luthier." And, the Gals will get a plaque, to be placed on the original Gibson building in Kalamazoo, when renovations now in progress are complete. www.amazon.com/Kalamazoo-Gals-Extraordinary-Gibsons-Guitars/dp/0983082782/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1361227589&sr=1-1&keywords=kalamazoo+gals
Mightve been Greta Van Fleet,who knows?
Mark has pulled this shit before. "I got one bluegrass luck." Proceeds to play bluegrass better than most here.
Yup. He learns a lot from the characters that shop there as well.
MARK YOU PLAY HER BEAUTIFULLY THANK YOU!
Thanks for featuring such a wonderful guitar and for sharing the news about the "Kalamazoo Gals," featured in my book of the same name. BTW, Woody Guthrie bought his Banner SJ in NYC on December 8, 1943 and used that guitar on the Mo Asch sessions, when he recorded "This Land Is Your Land." So, that's the perfect guitar on which to play that song. Thanks, again.
johnthomasguitar a guy that saw woody pawn it in New York bought it from the store. woody then bought a barquero classic guitar. from a luthier. the guy who biught the sj lives in the San Fran area I think. I emailed him and he ignored me. I forget what I asked him. he probably thought I wanted to buy it but maybe I did. That's my dream guitar, woody' s sj from the asch sessions. him and cisco houston playing down on the mountain is incredible and they both had the same guitars bought off the liberyy ship the same say. tells you something about the guitar, must have been the best for them to pick it at the guitar shop amongst all the others and they sepbr their hard earned money on an expensive guitar.
Great guitar and as always, great playing Mark.
Love the close ups! Another great guitar, another great video, thanks.
This might be the best guitar of the day I have seen! I like seeing pristine vintage but the right amount of wear and tear really makes this one a stunner! Oh, and it just happens to sound amazing too! Thanks a ton for showing it!
watch every day and rarely comment - but this beast sounds so incredible that i had to post.
Rings like a bell. Awesome..
This guitar sounds amazing! the tone and sustain AR amazing. nice job on the plucking Mark
If there's no Strat tomorrow... GIVE US SHREDURDAY!!!
I love these super old guitars.
Great Guitar and by far the best guitar review channel on youtube to date..Although nothing beats actually getting out there and trying one but these reviews give a brief history of the guitar , guitar specifications and a try out of how it plays whilst keeping the BS dribble to a minimum! Keep them coming!
My wife is glad you don't have a "Buy it Now" button on this site!
Sounds great. Nice job as always Mark.
Neil Young's "Old Man", I love that song man. Love this clip,some great Gibson history, three great tunes (loved the Bluegrass romp!) and boy,what a beautiful sounding guitar. Thank you Mark.
Oh god I want one!
Woody's most famous guitar! He bought a 1943 Southern Jumbo new with the money he earned in the Merchant Marines. Cisco Houston bought one along with Woody as well; together they recorded a large amount of songs for Moses Asch (owner of Woody's record label in the 40's) using their banner jumbos.
That machine can kill fascists.
kkeenoy yes rip Pete.I got to meet him at riverfest on the Hudson in 1981.he cleaned up THE river.
kkeenoy $.
Your love for that guitar really showed through your playing.
OMG THIS GUITAR IS IT !!! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT EXCEPT THE MONEY TO BUY IT... CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042
This Guitar is Treasure
Killing it at the end. Bravo man.
this guitar has a very boomy sound! Love the show makes my day a ton better
Mark that is a Beautiful jumbo*** I have learned so much about guitars watching your vids. Thanks man keep em coming
when he right he's right... sounds phenomenal
beautiful sound
That thing rings beautifully. I have a horrible regret. My grandfather paid $125 for a Gibson acoustic in 1932 or '33. He played that guitar fir 40 years before he gave it to me when I was a teenage brat. In 1995, I sold it for $1500. That guitar was probably worth $50,000 today. What a jackass I was.
Beautiful tone coming through that guitar. I think Mark likes it.
Sounds incredible
The background info part of flat top Friday is almost as good as the playing. It's fantastic every day, but I love the info on these old acoustics. I usually prefer Martins over Gibsons, but this guitar sounds incredible.
Wow, what a sound!
Jesus fucking Christ, I watched that entire, severely excruciating earnie ball ad... what was I thinking? :(
but this was definitely a "banner" episode for you Mark!
NICE focus pull Jen!
xxxooo
That is one of the best acoustic guitars I have ever heard.
‘This hand is your hand, this hand is my hand; No wait that’s your hand, oh no that’s my hand!’
Dan Harris can't beat a friend's reference ☺
I look forward to flat top Fridays to hear you play guitars of which I can only dream. Another special guitar there. Gibson, Martin - how could I choose? Do you get any vintage Yamahas? I have an early 70's FG140 and I'd really like to know how it stands up.
Mark's got knowledge and skills... great combo.
such a great tone
That guit-fiddle just sounds like America. Thanks for the history lesson; great piece!
That sounds gorgeous.
This Land is your Land/Old Man-NY/stumped on 3, but I think it's some blue-grass, chicken picken' sweet playing MA 🎸🤘🏻
#flattopfriday #GOTD
That guitar has awesome sustain. Damn it sounds good.
Tone monster...I love it!
man that thing sounds awesome
Magic sound mate !!!!! belter
WOW that is just gorgeous.
thank you for teaching me old man
oh yeah! It sounds great!
Beautiful
Love to hear the story behind the guitars
Great guitar...... All that's missing is the phrase "This machine kills fascists" a la Woody Guthrie. Ditto for the fingerstyle version of This Land is Your Land.
Jeeeezus that thing sounds great.
Got any old G&Ls? Maybe an early 80's SC2?
Nice little Gibson history lesson.
This one sounds so solid...
That's sweet!
The concept of relic'd guitars was invented in 2003 by Mark Agnesi when he played a brand new strat for 15 minutes while wearing that leather jacket.
#truestory
hey Mark Agnesi here in the back room at Norman's rare guitars, that enthusiasm for life I showed you Tuesday, that's gone. today is fuck my job Friday.......
great
Have a go on one of these if you get the chance! I owned one for a few years. It was a sweet sounding cannon. Ended up selling it to someone who plays better than me, and also 'cuz I find smaller acoustics more comfortable to hold while playing. But I agree with Mark: the wartime Gibsons are primo.
TONE. MACHINE.
what songs did you play?
Fat-Neck-Flat-Top Friday!
That 3rd riff sounds so familiar, can someone tell me what it is?
Adam Guthrie sounds like the guitar part from duelling banjos
The rosewood Jumbos shit all over the maple ones. Lovely sound.
do you have any banner j45's? that is the only guitar i still need.
MOJO !!
'Scowlin' Mark Agnesi
Happy FlatTop Friday

Do Amp of the Day!
please somebody tell me what the third song is
Iike!
Maybe you should've played some hank Williams
Hi whats the song 5.45 ?pls
it's not often that Martin takes a back seat
Sweet Jesus that tone...
That is a singer of a guitar
Don't you get tired doing " Guitar if the day " everyday ?
You might not be a Capitalist.)
nope
"they made the mothe mamoth neckths"
They might need to replace that shrinking scratch plate
That won't last long in the Store
Dads don't rock a deep V
thars wack
Sweet Gibson. This Land Is Your Land = Socialism.
Achilles grow up
Chris Henderson Do your research. I'm pointing out a FACT!
""You know, Woody was a Communist," says Woody Guthrie's longtime friend Pete Seeger (Joel Klein, Woody Guthrie, xiv). There you have it. Woody Guthrie, that starry-eyed guy who trekked around the country with a guitar over his shoulder singing folk songs until the cows came home, the archetype of the hobo, the voice of the people during the Great Depression, the guy that put a sticker on his guitar that said "This Machine Kills Fascists," possibly the first punk rocker and definitely the first full-fledged folk music hero, was a Communist. No two ways about it, folks."
