Tell John he needs to start making music again! We all miss him!
This 10000%
Very cool, John is a treasure in the field and is a fantastic musician. Congrats on being recognized for your skill.
@@Tatted-ne7tu Thank you
There's an old saying...''if you make the best, the best will buy from you"...there ya go...well done my man!!!
@@eddiejr540 Thank you!
I saw John Sykes play live with Thin Lizzy in the 80s and he performed like a rockstar an absolutely brilliant guitar player burning on stage. I wish John Sykes would come out and play again come on John.
Outstanding! Hopefully John will use these out on the road for a new tour. Brilliant work, you should be proud!
@@alexmircica1186 Thank you
I wish he would get something together he just disappeared out of the guitar seen he smokes his les paul ROCK ON JOHN SYKES Where are you
John in lizzy ..all in black...black les paul.... wicked stuff.....cold sweattt ..very underrated in my eyes
What an honor it must be to make an instrument for a legend. it looks fantastic and I hope John is thrilled with it.
@@pedraw Thank you. Yes, Johl love this guitar.
That turned out gorgeous, better than any Murphy Lab I’ve ever seen. The fact that Sykes reached out to you is awesome. I’m sure every guitar builder/luthier in the world would kill to have John as a customer.
@@brandonjackson5865 Thank you
John Sykes is the greatest combination of hard rock guitarist/singer/writer ever. He is a limitless player. Congrats on the build!
@@SurfGreenTelecaster Thank you
Amazing sound and build - You are now the "star" of replica builds
@@jimjarmusch2 Thank you for your kind words
Kirk Hammett needs to sell the orignal Greeny to John Sykes who is actually worthy of the instrument and has a direct connection to it thru his friendship with Gary.
Dude, when I saw Kirk with Greeny I immediately felt uncomfortable and sad. Greeny is a part of music history and although Kirk is in the biggest Metalband of all times, technically he's mediocre at best. But what's worse is that he does not have the soul to play Greeny like it could and should be played. Just a boring, mediocre guitar player that's playing the same crap since decades without the slightest signs of improvement. But Greeny is worth millions now. Unaffordable to most legendary guitarists.
@@mantelmann13 Couldn't agree more. Kirk is mediocre at best and hasn't evolved / gotten noticeably better in decades.
Well said 👏
Kirk no deberìa tener esa guitarra, no cuadra su música ni cuadra su historia para ello, esa guitarra es una excalibur, realmente es una desgracia que Kirk sea el dueño
HAPPY 65th BIRTHDAY VIBROTO KING JOHN SYKES
That guitar "Looks and Sounds" AMAZING!!!!!!! JOHN SYKES is FAVORITE musician of ALL-TIME, his guitar playing, vocals & songwriting are just MAGIC!!!!!!!!
Thanks. John just recently posted a small sound sample of this guitar on his Instagram @johnsykesofficial
My favourite musician, as good as a singer as he is a player, congrats on your creation.
@@Kyush4 Thank you
Absolutely a GREAT Singer. & Absolutely plays every note & song like it's possibly his last gig. I had ran into him a few times. Allways gracious & loves to talk guitars. The last time I saw him, was with Blue Murder. in a club in Ft. Lauderdale FL. ( Carmine Appice was also quite open to talk about all manor of things.) But when John sang "Still of the night " EVERYONE There looked @ each other like... Wait a minute... ( This IS the voice on the record !! ?? WTF ? ) I will never actually know. Everyone else thaught the same. & The solo Killed the solo on the Whitesnake record ! Incredible show !!!
29 years ago in August, two other winners & I had a tempura dinner w/ John, his ex wife, Burrn! editor etc. as winners of the mag. contest. It was a dream come true.
He first ordered a glass of orange juice. 😊
Thanks for sharing your great story that showed he's out alive!
Could you please upload interviews w/ him or jam sessions?
Here in Japan, there're tons of die-hard fans who've been waiting for him to come out. Happy belated Birthday, John!
@@eternalservant Thank you
John is a legend. Such an inspiration, the world needs more music from John. That guitar is incredible! Great work pays off!!
@@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio Thank you
You Sir.. Are a Master craftsman
@@boatingforbeginners7949 Thank you
Unbelievable! Sykes is legend. Makes me happy to know he's still so serious about guitar.
Wow, what an honor I bet this was! For the past couple of years I've been obsessed with John Sykes, so to see this video of him interact and want a new guitar then to see it built from scratch is just amazingly awesome!
This is awesome. John Sykes is one of my all time favorite guitarist
Brilliant work. You've created what will soon become a classic: the custom guitar for John Sykes.
🙏🙏🙏
Watched a couple of your videos and I'm blown away by how amazing these guitars look, can't wait to see what you do next.
Thank you
That's awesome man, well deserved!! You work is very well thought out, its great that is gets recognized like this.
@@sellsn01 Thank you
Met him in South Carolina opening for Bon Jovi . Really nice guy, so were the rest of Blue Murder !
The best part of this video (except fantastic work and nice playing) is info that Sykes is alive and still have passion for guitars and music.
Thank you
Absolutely fantastic!
Thank you
Getting contacted by Sykes because of your work...I'd call that a compliment/accomplishment. :) Cool story, dude.
Thank you
This is awesome! and I really hope this is a sign of John returning to activity!!
That’s so awesome. He can feel comfortable taking out the relic rather than the real thing if on the road. It’s a great option. Excellent work. Cheers.
" ... if on the road." If only. Sigh.
Wow!!! How cool is that! Both the guitar and the story! John Sykes is on my shortlist of all-time favorites guitarists (along with Gary Moore). What an honor it must’ve been to get to know him and work with him. Congrats to you (and to him for getting such an amazing new guitar from you!). Maybe he should have you make him an exact copy of his iconic ‘78 LPC too. That could be an awesome build!😍
Great idea!
This is very heart warming. Thank you 👍
Very cool! This video came up in my recommendations, and I love John Sykes, so I had to check it out immediately. You did an amazing job on that Les Paul, it looks fantastic! Impressive craftsmanship. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting John on a dozen occasions when he was touring with Thin Lizzy late 90s/early 2000s. He’s a genuine, down to earth, dedicated to his craft, human being, and very much deserving of this one of a kind instrument. Congratulations to you both!
@@CorSmit Thank you for your kind words 🙏
So great to hear that you were fortunate enough to put your soul into a project for my biggest guitar influence. Looking forward to hearing John tear it up again in the future!
Thank you
This is really cool. Sykes seems like a good dude. These people, and I have encountered some over the years, they have a life just like the rest of us. When they're not performing, they can be just like the rest of us. It's been my experience to just talk about other stuff; stuff that has nothing to do with music. You don't name names and you keep some things to yourself. I've always been fascinated by the sounds of guitars from different eras. The other thing is watching an Artist embrace a particular guitar and dismiss another that any of us would be knocked out to have. This goes right to the heart of the matter; just like two guitars can never sound the same, two players can never sound the same. There's some mojo in the hands, the skin, fingernails that nobody else can duplicate. This is why I've always told others not to try and copy a certain player. Develop your own sound. Sure, we can "Borrow" from others as long as we don't try to sound like others.
Whaou ! It will be fantastic if John can make a video with his new guitar !
I hope soon
Love your channel! You are an inspiration to me.I got into building guitars a year ago.Nothing better than playing the very first note on a new guitar build.Learned a lot from watching you
Absolutely beautiful build!! And what an honour to get to do it for John🤘🏼
Thank you
Such a cool story, thank you for sharing

That's amazing - congratulations man! You do great work!
Thank you
Man, that is amazing! Congratulations!
It would be really cool if John would be willing to make a video playing it for everyone to hear him rip some classic Whitesnake, Blue Murder & Thin Lizzy licks and riffs!
Thank you. I hope he will do this soon.
Magnificent instrument, bravo!
I imagine Mr. Sykes is _extremely_ pleased with the outcome of your amazing craftsmanship.
Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you
love the color.
Soooo cool! Congrats on landing a fun job and making a new friend.
@@jamarwright Thank you
This is emphatically amazing 👏 dear John Sykes is my vital and seamless influence as a guitar player, who is beyond an influence, and whose style was symbiotic to my sensibilities of tone and overall sound.
This is an extreme honor and privilege for you, man. Huge big ups!
@@Foxtrot1989 Thank you
@@8BombCustom Absolutely! Don't fail to acknowledge that Mr. Sykes saw something of great trust and reverence to reach out to you of many others to customize his personal gear, my man!
Nice work!
Thank you
Amazing story, that must have been a life changing experience. The guitar looks and sounds fantastic 👌😎🤘
@@bigdavedave9865 Thank you

@@JohnLysonmusic Thank you
What an awesome story and I can definitely tell you that your English has improved greatly. To the point where you could live in America and there would be no communication problems whatsoever.
so cool. Congratulations bro.
@@jordanprysmiki5361 Thank you
This is so interesting and need to be watched few times more. I can only imagine, what was the feeling after you successfully finished project for one of the best guitar player ever. I wish you all the best. Чиста умјетност.
@@trilogyopus Thank you. Yes, I breathed a sigh of relief when John got this guitar. Now he calls me every week and tells me how much he likes it and that he plays it every day. The pickups are just how he wanted them and they sound exactly like he remembers the Greenie sounding. This is certainly inspiring and shows me once again that I am on the right track.
I dont think you realize how real that guitar looks and sounds. I can call myself a historian of these guitars...I never think any replica looks or sounds correct..This one is special!!!!
@@johnmirabile3535 thank you
Stunning work my friend :)
Thank you
The instrument was personally ordered by John ???????? Woooooooow !!!!! 😮😲😯
Yes
Excellent work and I'm so happy for you and how your business has developed. Congrats!
@@petermichalowski Thank you !
Ive had a couple made from a great well known luthier...This one you made looks and sounds AMAZING!!!!! What a job!!
@@johnmirabile3535 Thank you

I knew it was only a matter of time until some big names started reaching out to commission work from you. Congrats, my dude!!!
@@flapjack413 Thank you

@@2204JCM Thank you
Dope!
The jam starting around 11:24 sounded great! The guitar looked like a masterpiece and is in great hands with Mr. Sykes!
Thank you
That Sir, looks and sounds awesome.
Thank you
Очень круто! Гитара для Джона Сайкса - для мастера большая честь сделать гитару легендарному гитаристу. 👍
Спасибо
Great work to a guitar hero of mine 👍👍👍
The SECRET to getting a Les Paul Burst replica to sound like an excellent original example is to look past the Les Paul and towards the ES line, particularly the 335.
Remember that Gibson never made the Les Paul for any of the up-and-coming players that would resurrect the LP from the dustbin of history. They made a solid body guitar that fit seamlessly within their Jazz lineup, with all of the best sound & playability features but without the resonant feedback problems of amplifying their stellar P90 pickups. The P90s, as you know, are in many ways superior in sound qualities over the Seth Lover PAF humbucker, most notably in the brighter & punchier attack rather than a PAF's darker & softer attack. For Jazz, the P90 is still the better choice. But the PAF humbucker is a legend in its own right for how it increases sustainability without losing control into a feedback loop, perfect for the stadium rock players of the '60s.
Ultimately, an excellent Les Paul Burst replica should sound like an ES335: throaty, punchy, a bit nasally, but 😎phlemmy🎸 - basically like a sweet-voiced vocalist coming down with a cold. That's is the blessed sound of a Les Paul Burst.🎸
It sounds like, with John's help, that you have hit the bullseye🎯 with this iteration of the Burst formula!!
@@kickinvideo333 Thank you 🙏
You are living my dream. Beautiful work you are a master
Thank you
If I was a professional musician I would buy one of your guitars as well , best sounding Les Paul I've ever heard apart from a real 59 burst ( and not all of those are great ) 👍
Thank you
Damn congrats man🎉
