Hey get well guys, thanks for pushing through and rolling out the videos regardless. Much appreciated!
So, all the EQ's can be set at noon. Does it also have a little bit of reverb?
I see what you did there.
yous lol
Bought a 1980 es335 model of a off a buddy of mine during covid. It's really fun to play. The switches all work and give a unique quality to the guitar.
The Knack broke the Top 100 with "My Sharona" in 1979 as well as Queen with "Fat Bottomed Girls" that same year.
Sweet hit with "Ballroom Blitz" in 75.
Crazy Horse had a smash in '79 with "Rust Never Sleeps" which would sound cool on that guitar. Rock music was beginning to lose out to Disco; but, there was some good guitar back then. We survived. There will always be guitar music. Always.
Around here, rock was fine, radio died a sudden death, record collections got huge.
My Sharona was #1 in August 1979
Doug was a good guy, very humble person, knew him in the late 80's,90's played a few gigs together
jonathanlovitt - They were refreshing at that time. As were others. Such as The Pretenders. The Heart Breakers. The Clash. Guitar bands. Good stuff. "Disco Sucks" was the battle cry.
ACDC became one of my favorites.. only to find out Bon Scott would soon be dead. That was a drag, but they came back hard as ever.
These days I'm amazed. Some of these kids can shred. Insanely. Guitar music will never die.
@@snuffygrunt2842 The solo on My Sharona sounds like he used this guitar
@@snuffygrunt2842 The Cars are one of my favorites.
Elliott Engel, highly underrated , great music. Same producer made Journey, Cars and Queen, Roy Thomas Baker.
According to the Gibson Shipment Totals book 1937 - 1979 Gibson only shipped 230 of these guitars in 1979..... Hi Jen
I wonder how many were broken by Frank Stallone's father. (the mailman) lol
Wonder what the MSRP was in ‘79, pretty pricey I’d imagine.
In the introduction of the book I have by Larry Meiners it says some instruments were actually manufactured during one year and shipped in another.
@@jimmyhackles9502 $1299.00. Plus $119 for a "chainsaw" Protector case. By comparison, a LPC was $949.00.
I love mine 😁 same color. Amazing range of tones and the expansion switch acts like a sustainer 😉
Holy shit an actual rare guitar.
Right! It's usually "expensive AF guitar of the day" lol
I have one they are super cool
Thank you for the Birthday Shout out!! Love you guys, hope to see you soon. More donuts and coffee coming your way
hi Jen
It's pronounced: "mogue"
Thank you!
I wish I didn’t know how it’s really pronounced. Drives me crazy. 😆
I got a birthday coming up March 11th! It’s on a Monday so there isn’t an episode right? Well if you could do one thing for me sometime this week, play me some Zeppelin!
Ma Ma Ma Ma My YOU KNOW WHOOOOO...
I really like the finish, sort of a Root Beer Burst! Actually....it looks more like a sliced open Rollo candy finish.
Had one since new in 1980 and it’s the very best guitar I ever owned or played. Les Paul Artist is WAY underrated! Chainsaw case with mine. Holds notes for days, and can play rock, country or anything in between. It’s heavy, but who the fuck cares when you have the best Les Paul ever in your hands. Get a padded strap for fucks sake.
Mark looks like MOMO. Buckethead had his first show last night for his tour.... Best guitar player on the planet.
MOOG - long O, not short.
Moog is pronounced "Mogue", not "Mewg". Dude wasn't a cow.
Everyone's done it at a certain point lol
He should spell it Mogue then. Moog sounds cooler.
@@mrbigg7255 Not according to Robert Moog. As the inventor of the first commercial synthesizer, he is due some respect, regardless of how "cool" you deem it to mispronounce his name.
cant buy those parts anymore RIP if it breaks.
Buckhorn Cortez In your opinion. As for me, I don’t like synthesizers. It was responsible for a lot of crappy music in the ‘80’s. MY opinion only.
People mispronounce my name all is the time. Ain’t no big deal. Nothing to cry about or demand respect over. 🙂
I can hear his bracelet banging it before he even plays it. Mark, if you read this, why so you do so many rough things?
Moogly googly doyles coils?
Queen- Fat Bottom Girls
Sweet- Ballroom Biltz
The Knack- My Sharona
Cheech & Chong-My Aroma
No amp model and no EQs at noon Mark must be ill. Get well soon. Peace!
Fat Bottom Girls-Queen
Ballroom Blitz-Sweet
My Sharona- The Knack
Big fan of Mark A. and Phil X. Take a look at Phil and the Drills play My Sharona with Phil playing a '65 Strat and Dan Spree on lead vocals. At the Foo's Studio 606. Great version.
First time I noticed the kinship between Fat Bottomed Girls and Cinnamon Girl. It might just be a tone thing.
JohnnyArt Pavlou I thought the same thing.
DUDE- SWEET THUMBNAIL PIC. Sure wish I had a time traveling device to go back and see the 70’s version
Love the sound! not a fan of complicated thinngs. But the compres knob seems great to my ears!
Yeah that compress setting seemed to have some magic
Agree! Didn't expect it to do much, but the few notes he played with it on sounded great to me!
The compressor actually sounds really usable! Surprising for a built in effect from the 70's, I dig it. And Moog! North Carolina representing!
It's pronounced 'Moge'. I met Mr. Moog, and that's how says it should be pronounced.
They are not DIP switches. They are toggle switches. DIP switches are found on circuit boards. (DIP = Dual Inline Package).
Remember, this is the same guy that doesn't know the difference between a coil-tap, and a coil-split. Makes you wonder what it takes to be the store manager at a high-end guitar store? It's probably the leather.
@@tinyb69 Maybe it's a whole different set of skills and knowledge,,,, and probably ones that don't involve arguing symantics about what we all understand anyway.
tiny b I don’t think it really matter because the dude can play and is pretty widely known
@@TheLambLive semantics*. JK!
Mark, I enjoy your "Guitar of the Day" vids. I just have to say that you should remove that leather jacket with the metal zippers and buckles so you don't do any further damage to the back of those vintage guitars. Keep on Rockin'!
So that’s what the offspring of a Les Paul and a Jaguar would be like.
No?
This guitar would be perfect to have in the studio..... I think that is really what it was made for!
Listen to My Sharona solo, the real track by the Knack, 1979, 6 weeks at #1
The solo sounds like this guitar.
check out Phil X and the drills - My Sharona (telecaster)
Yeah it reminds me a lot of the Les Paul Recording, which was the kind of les Paul that Les Paul himself used to play. It's got all these added electronics and things in them, I believe this Artist model was actually inspired by the Recording model. But yeah the Recording had two output Jack's for stereo play, and boosting and cutting of various frequencies, and very unique pickups that have never been imitated or put in any other guitar, those Recording models sound absolutely beautiful and the only way to get those pickups is to get a vintage Recording model for $10,000 or whatever. I'm hoping Lollar will make some new modern version of those pickups, like how they made new Charlie Christian pickups
Looks confusing. Ballroom Blitz awesome.
I have one just like it, paid a thousand dollars for it. It’s in great condition and Moog electronics sound great. I haven’t played it in a while, I gotta get it out again!
Same 🙂
Love the tone, absolutely love the burst, the doo dads, eh, not so much.
Would love to have heard it through an ENGL Special Edition E 670 as well as a '59 Bassman 4X10, and also playing UFO's Let It Roll, and John Mayall's All Your Loving
What about the pristine thingamajigs?
Everything was brass , they even had brass in pocket
Brass NUT
Got emmm
Best les paul ever made.
I own that guitar. It was my first Les Paul.
Lucky you!
So do you like it - use the Moog stuff etc? Tell us more about it.
@@HBSuccess I'd love that finish in a regular LPC but not those Moog electronics (can't see anyone using anything other than maybe the compressor anyhoo)
I have one the same color and it's a beast 😁 you can make any tone on it. The compression is good for metal rhythms, the bright switch is good for a more acoustic sound and the expansion is like a sustainer.
It was my first electric guitar too and I still have it. Heavy thing.
I know its from 79 but....I think they should have thought of a battery port. That is a pain in the ass when you have to change it. A ton of little screws to lose! Haha. Gorgeous guitar and clean!
If you look closer as a panel with two screws at the very end with the battery underneath. You don’t have to remove the entire cover.
Starting a petition for Mark to stop using the Deluxe Reverb altogether at least for rock tunes with Gibson guitars. Who's in?
Mesa, Marshall, Roland JC120 haha
!!!! That guitar is effen awesome! Well done 👍🏼
How does that zipper on your leather jacket affect the paint? Vintage?
You know you can do better than that! That must be one of the coolest and interesting guitars you have brought out! Please spend some more time with it for us? Moog?! Holy Moses I want you to explore that guitar more! Learn how to pronounce Moog correctly and SOMEBODY show what can be done with it! That MUST be a really cool instrument. Bring Buckethead and Steve Vai in to play that?! Wow...OK, I will try to calm down now...
Moog Steering and Suspension parts...
Darn right. Same company. Most folks don't believe it.
Less than 500 made 1979-81
Bob Simmons I have one :)
One bad ass Les Paul right there!
Weird Ass Saturday
Even though I hate that fucking coat..!!!
I'm sorry to see you leave my brother..😔
Good luck on your future adventures..!!!
this dude picked out the PERFECT classics to demo this axe. wow.
I always enjoy the videos. What boggles my mind is that you are holding someone else's future purchase...over and over the mic picks up your ring hitting the finish as you display the instrument !! Please Just take it off for the videos.
No Fenders anymore? Just basses? It's been all Gibsons lately, pretty lame. Pair that with the shoutouts returning. Zzzzzz
Even though it belongs to the Norlin era, that's one cool guitar! Perhaps someday you receive and show a LP Artisan, another cool guitar.
Greetings from Chile!
Wash your hands once in awhile, Greasy! You’re schmutzing the guitar all up!!! Geezes H., man!
Like Brock Landers said, it's pronounced mog, with a long o, not moog like a cow. Otherwise, a good episode and a pretty amazing guitar.
anyone else hear a very high pitched noise when he had the volume up but wasn't playing? he hid it well by riding the volume, but it was still there a little. maybe the moog active electronics?
Happy Straturday everyone!
It's time 4a LP Artist-
This (very collectable)Moog model has a beautiful headstock inlay!
Have had one since 1980…. This video doesn’t touch the ways you can use these guitars…
Top of the line guitar.
I’ll take it.
My special friend Corrine's 18th birthday is tomorrow and she'd really appreciate a shout-out
Yeah kill the volume quickly becoes it screams like a pig. What a shit guitar. And they are not honest about it. As usual.
I also own one. Since 1980. I bought it in Munich at Musik Zitrone. It‘s long ago but the sound is still going on.
Wtf with the case. It's like... huge. And despite it's size it doesn't have much space for straps ect.
My friend has a guitar like this, but they turned it into an ordinary lespaul, they took the special electric from it, can I still find it?
Poor guitar. Really banging out in, which is cool if you own it. But I got no thorough sense of different subtleties.
I have the 3-pickup version of this guitar. They are very unique and rare. Unfortunately, the Moog electronics were long gone out of mine when I acquired it 25+ years ago.
Love a classic Les Paul I'll give you my truck, my ex girlfriend her kidney,and my pay check for the next couple of years. Haha
Get Blitzed on NyQuil dude, you need a vacation.
I wonder what Gibson did with Mark? Haven't seen or heard from him lately.
I want that guitar!!!!!!!! My birthday is March 5th, hint, hint!
Should've boosted the treble for the bridge position and played some Sabbath.
The guy who's make this burst was drunk, really!!!
That's a helluva lot of guitar...
Treble boost
Bass cut
Bright switch
Trve Kvlt Swede: *HEAVY BREATHING*
who?
@@theoberliner1247 its a black metal reference. In black metal the general amp settings are
Bass - 0
Mids - 0
Treble - 11
Gain - 11
Volume - 11
Reverb - 0
It's also based in Sweden.
@@michaelczesnozki1671 Yeah, I know the amp settings joke I just dont know Trve Kvlt is
@@theoberliner1247 Google it. It's a black metal scene thing. Burzum is Trve Kvlt, Immortal is Trve Kvlt, Behemoth is not Trve Kvlt.
@@michaelczesnozki1671 ah, ok
Steve Khan recorded his classic solo on Steely Dan’s Glamour Profession with an ES version of the Artist series.
The genuinely fine Artists IMO were those made by Ibanez from 1981-83 (or so). Well…made for Ibanez by Fuji-gen Gakki and Terada.
Steve Howe also used the ES version of the Gibson Artist on Asia's first tour - I don't think he ever recorded with them, but with all the switches he could cover the tones of many of the guitars he used in the studio with one guitar. I think he had 3 of them for that tour - and he added an upper pickguard to his (i.e. a second pickguard on the bass side of the guitar).
I'm a big fan of kiss and I'm not talking about gene and Paul's band but that's kind of cool
nice sounddddd..
And it's pronounced Mo - G
Brian vs Andy vs Berton. I'm going with Brian if I may.
This guitar sounds awesome! Anyone found it in their website?
Johnny Marr would wield this as if it were Excalibur
If it makes you that miserable to make videos , why not stop?
I used to have a bumper sticker that said "Nuke the Knack"
You should review an epiphone sheriton 2 pro
Thank you for the great reviews and sharing the history or these guitar! You
guys/gals rock!
I had the rd artist, a 77. Heavy monster of a guitar.
Muti tasking AX !! I did it.
I dig it
Pretty cool man. You need a jean jacket for a 79 LP. Or an old army jacket. And a ..... (you all fill in some 79 items) ?
Black Converse Chuck Taylor's
Mark you dropped your tupe on your shirt ,just saying
How price this guitar??
Donuts rule !!
Cant argue with that !!!!!
Was expecting an on board synth
The Blackwood Paul Vond for that one
A lot of screws to have to remove to change the battery
What... No Doil Coil??? 😀
Brass hood ornaments were popular in 79 as well haha, but a beautiful guitar. The stop tailpiece looks unique, is that a roller bridge equipped with tuning screws?
11 screws to change the battery?...gonna need more NyQuil
manaman545, if you look to the right of the cover, there seems to be a smaller narrower cover that only needs two or three screws. I’m hoping that’s the battery compartment cover.
Whew, close one, tnx!@@JohnnyArtPavlou
Yes it is, wasn't sure if my one was meant to be a one piece cover when i first got it but they're 2 piece and it's screws to swap a battery
2 screws*
There is a good reason why most everyone ripped out those moog electronics..... they are NOISY as SHIT! ....just saying.
Mine is beautiful man 😁 could be due to the fact that the entire circutboard was re-soldered by hand before i got it.
The guitars worth whatever they're asking
That neck pick up is a beast
Marks a dip switcher!
Weird. Nice to look at. That's about it.
nice
What a guitat, nice!!! And some of the rock of my teenage..well i loved Deep Purple, Zeppelin, Who and Pinky the Floyd etc more.and i want a 57...:-)
I wonder why that never caught on....
