    Theres a special place in my heart for the pawnshop mustang video, i bought one off the back of that video as my first electric!
    Ive owned other great guitars but that mustang is easily the most solid most reliable thing in my guitar collection, 12 years and ive never had a setup issue with it! And super versatile! I love it to bits!!

    I appreciate the honesty with the bad Gibson. Its the worst when reviewers and demo players defend things for the sake of the brand they're demoing. Just because the company is legendary, and is one of the best of the best, doesn't mean they won't ever have a miss or two, or 10!

    Loving the series so far and can’t wait for the pedal episode, I’ve have been watching your stuff for years and still love all the stuff you did with Anderton’s and I’ll definitely go check out some of these reviews for myself. I also will agree with you on the Firebird X, like I once tried one and while I will admit that some of the stuff that Gibson had done to it at the time was unique it’s just incredibly difficult and feels really uncomfortable to play and it’s just a poor-sounding guitar in general imo. Love your stuff, Rob, cheers and love from Canada

    I had a Cortez les paul copy that was light. It had a bit of an arch top. It had to have some air in the body and empty space under that top somewhere because that guitar had more natural sustain than any other guitar that I have ever owned and I bought that guitar around 77 or 78 in my hometown little music store that was not Gibson or Fender dealer. They had Crown SG copies that we were all playing. they were 200 bucks and very nice to play. WE gigged with them. I went in there one day and he had that Cortez hanging there for for about 330 bucks and that was a lot of money back then.

    For pure sentimental reasons I am looking to get a 1999-2000 Gibson Gothic Explorer, had one...don't anymore....regret is real. It wasn't the best guitar I ever played though. That honor goes to a an LTD KH202. Yes a Kirk Hammett signature, and the lowest on that totem pole. Just like Rob said about the LTD in this video, something just clicked with it. It was a buttery smooth conglomeration of perfection not seen since the picture of that girl that you fell in love with only to realize that it was a freak moment in time and she never looked like that...yea THAT.

    The old Japanese Ibanez RGs and Jems do something as they age the maple necks get better the bright colors fade and mellow, I don’t know if it makes them sound any better but they look and feel better than anything for the same money new . My 95 RG550 LTD has a rosewood board but the maple neck has darkened up nice over the years and it’s well broken in and just feels great.

      @RobChappers  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey dude, thanks for bringing this up. I totally get where you’re coming from with the AI thumbnail thing. Just to clear things up, the AI I use for these thumbnails doesn’t copy specific artists’ work. It’s more about mixing a bunch of art styles and ideas to make something new and different.
      This tech learns from a wide range of art stuff, but it’s programmed to come up with its own unique images. My goal with using AI is to get cool and interesting visuals for my videos, not to step on any artist’s toes.
      I really respect artists and totally understand the need to support their amazing work. If you have any ideas on how I can do this better, or how to use AI in a cooler way, I’m all ears. I want to make sure I’m using this tech in a good way, where it adds to what we’ve got going on, instead of taking away from anyone’s hard work

    Dammit, Chappers, you are torturing me with those Blue/Black Ghost Frets! LOL! Fun video, sir.
    My opinion on "mature" guitars is this: Each person who has played any given old guitar, has infused said guitar with a little piece of their soul/aenima/ being/lifeforce or whatever you want to call it. Those little bits of human spirit combine with yours, and allow those past artists to speak through your voice.
    Of course, it could just be the age-seasoning of the wood that gives a ripened guitar its unique qualities... but what fun is that, to think about?

    On top of everything you said, the Firebird X is one of the fugliest looking guitars of all time. They have one worse, though. I forget the name, but it was introduced at NAMM? in 1958 together with the Flying V and the Explorer, but it never made it into production because it was so fugly! They did release it eventually, though, in fhe 2000s/2010s. Don’t remember the year.

    I enjoyed this video. Jeff was also a good friend of mine. I did my work experience in his original shop (Machinehead Music) way back in 1998. I went to visit him at World Guitars back in 2013, not knowing that it would be the last time I'd ever see him. He was a great guy and I miss him very much. Seeing him in this video bought back a lot of good memories.

    i could be wrong but i believe the guitar shop in leeds where the V is from is now a cafe/bar that has a guitar shop upstairs and its a venue for small gigs now. quite a nice little place not far from where i live

    Re the Memphis: I had the Florentine version (ie DID have the f holes) and it was also truly special. I vowed never to play a solid LP again, and haven't.
    (Edit: I might change my mind for a Murphy labs.....)

    12:21 I have a Chapman MOD3 original. I’ll save the story of why I only got it a year ago but why I’ve always had it and how it ruined my marriage… Everyone that plays it asks me what I’ve done to it.
    The depth of sound/tone is amazing. Sometimes I am sure it’s talking to me.
    Of all my guitars, this Is special.

    Wow! I bought my first electric guitar from Jeff in about 1985.
    Had to sell it about 15 years ago, due to circumstances...and been looking for it ever since... 😕👍🏼

    My second Gibson is a 2009 LPGT and I love it! My first was a 62 SG but while playing a gig in Malibu I sat it down in a stand and the first breeze of the day blew it over and snapped the headstock! I was crushed!

    The first video I ever saw of you was that Jem demo. I remember when those came out, and cost $1899 CAD. I was looking for my first "real guitar, and had made $1600 over the course of the entire summer. I ended up with an Ibanez RG410, but I never forgot that first Desert Yellow wonder. The neck was thicker than the Wizard necks, but thinner than my RG410, and it was perfect. The whole thing felt like it was made for me.
    After Nirvana hit, I had a chance at one for $800, but was a poor student. Now, I just can't justify it unless I get insanely lucky on a deal.
