It’s very comforting to know that Gibson is now in the hands of true lovers of our art/love/heart! Just a few short years ago it was looking like we were gonna lose Gibson forever! The future is looking good for Gibson!!
The Gibson brand president is a huge Black Sabbath fan and It all started when he was a kid with Black Sabbath one and a Spanish acoustic guitar.. that is the Absolute Coolest Thing I could ever hear 👍👍👍
Not only that, but I've seen him jamming with the guys from Megadeth and he can hang with Tornado of Souls and so on. No matter who you are... if you can hang with those guys, you're a guitarrist. And he was genuinely having FUN.
As a lifelong Gibson fan, nothing has made me more excited about Gibson's future than seeing Cesar, James, Mark, and others at the helm. People who truly love and care about Gibson, not just the bottom line. Thank you for all you're doing.
I'm starting to feel this too. It's taken me a while, because it's really a gigantic road block for me, but I get turned off really easy by the "corporate" lingo. A man was hired to help grow my father's business grow who talked all that talk like "growing the brand", "bringing things to the table", he ran our 45 year family business into bankruptcy and we all lost just about everything. he stole from us under the guise of spending what it takes to make more money, ultimately over a 5 year period he flew all over the country taking friends out to eat and driving really nice cars and staying in 5 star hotels every trip, never made one deal and not one meeting with any of the big corporations happened. So when I hear a lot of that chit chat about the Gibson BRAND, it's nauseating. I get it, and I'm really easing up on how Gibson is talked about in this regard because as you stated it, it's refreshing to see how these guys love and care for Gibson without mentioning profit or the bottom line constantly. I have the hopes that the new president, JC, can keep the corporate talk in the board room. Thing is, we all get that it's a business and it needs to show profit but when I watch videos about guitars, amps, pedals, etc. etc, I could care less about all that. It's just not the appropriate time. I've never picked up any of my Gibson Les Paul's and thought "At least the brand is in profitable territory now", I'm running chords and melodies in my head that I want to finish a song with. Long rant, I know. I needed to get that off my chest, your comment spurred a few thoughts.
But the bad thing is the guitars are still shit! I recently purchased a SG special, the nut was terrible and the bridge P90 was microphonic. So how much better have they gotten?
Agnesi plays no part in “running” Gibson, he was hired to put out some dumb shit about bringing litigation against other guitar manufacturers who were/are doing better in designing innovating & selling their products. Oh’ he also had something to do with these video promos.
@@21sungalute.42 I think he was referring to Cesar, not Mark. The reality is players like their Gibsons to be traditional. Gibson released a lot of modern design models in the 80's and 90's and players hated them. Even changes that were useful and subtle like the automatic tuners, people hated.
@@blastofo I worked at the Gibson factory from 2005-2019. Cesar is no better than Mark. There are great people working at the factory but dudes like them get all the credit.
@Zach Sabbath People thought guitars were going to be dead when new wave got big in the beginning of the 80’s. You cant predict the future. Whats popular as far as instruments and brands go, is determined by relevant and popular artists and what gear they use. And the robot tuners were great. They looked stock, and they eliminated the need for multiple guitars for different tunings.
True stewards of the brand that have become the heart and soul of Gibson. Incredible leadership. Insightful, creative, inspiring. I’m proud to be a Gibson player.
good for u... keep them all locked up so they can't even be viewed and admired unless you're a personal friend of Cesar. They'd be better off in a museum or a Hard Rock Cafe somewhere. Just another CEO flaunting the bling. My opinon.
i mean its the gold standard , the rolexs of guitars (priced that way aswell) i mean u can get the same sounds from a jackson king V as a gibson flying v but its more then that its the wood, gibson usa pickups,nitro laquer) but if u just wanna have a killer sound you dont NEED a gibson but every guitairst WANTS one myself included my dream guitar is a white 70s V
Guys that was the coolest “the collection” show yet!! The only “V” missing was the Lonnie Mac. Which I’m sure that Cesar has in storage somewhere!!ahhah! Thanks man! Or men. Time well spent. Thank you for sharing!
I hate to think how he would bastardize each and every one of these guitars before he jacks the prices up on them and puts them all on Reverb. I wouldnt let that dude near my guitars. Especially not with a screwdriver. No, trogly. You don't need to take apart every single guitar you handle. Smh. The dude is a joke IMO. Hes a guitar have-er. Not a guitar player. You know what I mean. The tuners could be in their original positions with screws in their original positions and hell take it all out, pile it up, and just put anything back anywhere. Dude has zero respect for vintage guitars whatsoever. He just sees them as money making opportunities.
Mark still gets that little smirk right before he opens a case. Watch his face every time he releases the latches on the cases. Love Gibson, Dream Gibson. One day again I pray.
How incredible.. I've been sucking up every bit of Gibson history I've been able to find since I was a kid. With a little luck hopefully I'll be an owner of a Gibson piece of history someday. I've had the same Epiphone Les Paul for ten years and I love it but someday I know I'll get there. Thank you for posting this!
Another exceptional episode. I wasn't sure that this one would be as interesting as the collections of known players. But, it made me really glad that Gibson ( a company that I truly love) is in this man's hands.
Proof is in the product. Recently purchased 2 SGs from the original collection. And wow some of the best guitars I’ve ever played. So glad to see Gibson guitars being run the way it should be. Bringing respect back to the brand. So excited to see what the future holds under this leadership. Great work.
I needed this uplift guys! Going through some stuff and this just really brought a smile and a short escape for me. Thank you Cesar for sharing. Love Marks enthusiasm and love!
@@vladimirpoutine7522 I thought the burst ledgers were lost, they left them behind at the original building I heard, and they have since gone missing! They offered a reward for them a while back of like $60.0000!
@@S-T-E-V-E My bad you are 100% correct. I miscommunicated my point. The modern ledgers(post-1961) is posted on the forum. The ledger for all guitars built during the burst years is a modern record of all known bursts with pictures(is what I meant to say).
I own one old Gibson LG-O acoustic made in 1958 and it is a great, vibey old guitar. That old Goldtop with PAFs with all of the checking and some fading into that green color…..I’ll bet that guitar has some stories to tell. Thank you Cesar for opening your home to us and showing us these beautiful pieces of history. What a collection! And it is obvious that you love rock music and the artists that have made it great. I feel better about someone like you having these instruments to appreciate and to still play them. So cool. Thanks Mark for another great interview and episode. This stuff never gets old does it?
Like everyone else has said. It’s so good to see Gibson finally in the hands of true players. Now if they could just get prices a little better. I make $100k a year and even for me, paying damn near $10k for an R9 is insanity.
This is one of the best episodes of the collection I have ever seen, part show and tell, part personal, part business. Cesar loves guitars, and it shows. His love is infections, and will probably lead me to make poor financial decisions 😂😂😂😂😂
I really admire Cesar for basically saving Gibson. He has such a unique sense of the rich history of Gibson. I visited Gibson many times and I must say this last trip was truly special and something I always expected before going in. I just think he modernized the Gibson brand and gave it stability while continuing to pay tribute to the past. He's doing what a lot of us would have did with the opportunity and maybe better because he legit cares about the company, it's people and the instruments they make. Ive been blessed to play a few burst les pauls and I can honestly say the new custom shop stuff is as close to those guitars as Ive ever played.
I love that Cesar is equally into acoustics as well as electrics , I also have the same passion for acoustics , the acoustic sound is so pure and the electric sound is so purely ELECTRIC !! HAW !!
I bought and paid for my first Gibson in late 2016 and got it around March of 2017. It's a 2017 Gibson SG Standard and I still play it today. It was slightly before the new ownership, but it still plays as great as the day I got it. Looking forward to the day I get my second Gibson.
The routing for the inlays on the 59’ burst at 21:21 tells you everything you need to know about these things. They were not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Amazing when people complain about minute details and errors on modern American and custom shop models when in reality the most coveted guitars that they are based on were full of imperfections, there were no master builders in the 50s and 60s just guys building instruments. Luckily though they seemed to get the most important thing right back then, the sound.
That, was a privilege just to watch. awesome to just watch you guys, Dave and Ritchie, admiring the silverbursts (I adore my silverburst... I needs a partner, so...) THAT, was the best collection of Gibbo's I have ever witnessed, in life, film or print, in my 30+ years of playing. Best regards from the UK. We make the amps, you do the guitars...! BIG LOVE TO Y'ALL
such passion can simply only be JC's successor. Wonderful footage and the starter with the grand piano says it all about how Mr. Gueikian breaths and lives music, music instruments and obviously Gibson guitars. JC guided the turnaround of this great brand and Mr. Gueikian just brings it to the next level. THX of being you, Mr. Gueikian, and being there, a much more than a well deserved position and role.
Truly excited about the future of Gibson. This is an institution that should be around forever, honestly FOREVER!!! Now on a more serious note ........how can you guys introduce one of the best collections ever and not let some of these sing a little for us. This is a segment that brings huge excitement and some disappointment as well. LOL!! Keep 'em coming Mark.
This is Awesome! I own 3 gibson guitars, a J-45 natural ~ a Slash Standard ~ and a R7 Gold Top, for some reason watching this video it made me pull out my J-45 and just awe over it in all its beauty..... thanks, this is a great reminder of why I got my guitars and got into guitar in the first place! Thanks Again! - Thomas W.
Got me my first proper Gibson recently and I'm infatuated ! Gibson Sg standard! Also I really appreciate the fact that the new president of Gibson is also a guitar nut! Probably why their quality has improved significantly throughout the Gibson and Epiphone stuff over the last five years.
Gibson has really been killing it since Cesar took over. I've got a couple from 2015/16 and 3 I've bought in the past year and there's a huge difference(not that the others were bad, some of the best guitars I've played). Now hopefully he just brings back the LP Supreme and Custom to the Gibson USA line so I can sleep at night.
So cool that cool people are running the company that I have always looked to for coolness. Really good episode. The bar has been pushed higher by having this guy at the helm.
I think having Cesar as a new CEO will drive Gibson in the right path. A knowledge of guitar nerd with the company as a fantastic tool. Sadly, when the Gibson guitar is getting nearer to the right path to the history that made em great, the price for it is getting it further from us, the real fans 🙏💪🤘
That was such a pleasure to watch! These are the kinda people you want running Gibson. So much love and appreciation for the brands past, present and future. Keepers of the flame, from the factory to the office to the customer!! Keep the love in the game!
I just want to scream as I struggle to save for my first Les Paul. So happy this guy is driving Gibson into the future and loves its past. Arrrrgggggg!
I really like that in these documentaries the brand is taking an interest in music, instruments rather than presenting its products. I wanted to comment on this in a video by Dwezeel Zappa where Fenders also appeared. Now they also introduce a piano and this is really something very nice from the brand.
My second guitar ( first guitar I bought myself ) was either a 79’ or 80’ SG. I saved up my money for a year, I was 14 or 15 years old. I walked into Mannies in Manhattan and bought an Ivory / cream white SG with the small black pick guard. To this day I regret selling it. Hoping this color comes back as an option on the Standard line. It’s good to see the company is being ran by guys that love everything about it 🤙
I have personally played 4 or 5 real deal 1959 bursts, all great guitars, of course, but I have to say, the 1959 60th anniversary I bought for myself, plays and sounds as good if not better than the originals, I just love it ! Amazing guitar ! I think they got it right starting in 2013, I played a reissue “Happy Jack” and that’s when I knew, they have finally nailed it !
I can't afford any of the vintage stuff, but I recently purchased a Standard 50's AAA top Les Paul from Sweetwater and I absolutely love it. My first Gibson but it won't be my last. My next purchase will be a Gibson Custom Murphy Lab. I think that will be the one that get's buried with me.
Amazing channel! I've been watching Mark for years back with Norman's Rare Guitars. I'm glad he's still geeking out and satisfying all guitar lovers. One thing, PLEASE, play the guitar! I would like to hear the beautiful guitars!
They edited out a couple minutes and reposted it. Anyone know what they cut? I'm not going to watch it all again, but I can see the upcoming Adam Jones USA model is still shown, the Korina V and Explorer and the silver burst acoustic are still there too. There must be something they didn't want shown....
1:07:07 and beyond.... a silver burst acoustic that is tastefully done all the way around. I'm sure it's horrendously unaffordable to most, but I DID manage to get the purple burst SG modern a couple weeks ago, (exclusive from the factory, can't buy it in a store folks )and I must say I'm blessed. Everything about it is beautiful and well worth saving ur dollars for!!❤😃🥰
Carefully protecting the Flying V and Explorer cases with case covers (!)... Dave Mustaine enters the chat... BOOM! 🤣
how many times are you going to play the same song.
Lol joke

This episode was incredible!
looks awesome i just got my Epiphone Les Paul standard and it's a pleasure to play it
well, i didnt expect this to be a beautiful love letter to the history of gibson. this was an amazing ride. thank you for this video.
I cant watch this video and not get jealous of all those beautiful guitars in the background
Incredible collection! Thank you very much for sharing. Watched the whole thing and completely intrigued through it all. 🤘
Thanks for watching!!
Best Collection video ever!!!
I think having Cesar as a new CEO will drive Gibson in the right path.
A knowledge of guitar nerd with the company as a fantastic tool.
Sadly, when the Gibson guitar is getting nearer to the right path to the history that made em great, the price for it is getting it further from us, the real fans 🙏💪🤘
2 guys definately passionate about guitars! great to see despite the hate going on in the comments, DEEP BREATH BROS!
Absolutely awesome. Surprise guests too. Rock on. Nice job Mark.
That was such a pleasure to watch! These are the kinda people you want running Gibson. So much love and appreciation for the brands past, present and future. Keepers of the flame, from the factory to the office to the customer!! Keep the love in the game!
I think I just heard Trogly choke on his coffee. What a great collection. Thank you for making this.
Cool👍✔《☆》I haven't seen Mark since his last Tele Tuesday at Norman's Rare Guitars🖖😎🏈
I just want to scream as I struggle to save for my first Les Paul. So happy this guy is driving Gibson into the future and loves its past. Arrrrgggggg!
I love the way this seamlessly turned into a hour long commercial for your new releases. Yeay!
that was awesome,here is a man who has a dream job
Awesome collection plus the passion just makes it even better, thanks for sharing
I really like that in these documentaries the brand is taking an interest in music, instruments rather than presenting its products. I wanted to comment on this in a video by Dwezeel Zappa where Fenders also appeared. Now they also introduce a piano and this is really something very nice from the brand.
My second guitar ( first guitar I bought myself ) was either a 79’ or 80’ SG. I saved up my money for a year, I was 14 or 15 years old. I walked into Mannies in Manhattan and bought an Ivory / cream white SG with the small black pick guard. To this day I regret selling it.
Hoping this color comes back as an option on the Standard line.
It’s good to see the company is being ran by guys that love everything about it 🤙
Cesar, I like your helmsmanship of the company
Your taking the company into the 21st century without losing the traditions that made Gibson great 👍🏻
I have personally played 4 or 5 real deal 1959 bursts, all great guitars, of course, but I have to say, the 1959 60th anniversary I bought for myself, plays and sounds as good if not better than the originals, I just love it ! Amazing guitar ! I think they got it right starting in 2013, I played a reissue “Happy Jack” and that’s when I knew, they have finally nailed it !
That 59 is truly breathtaking!
Best episode yet
I can't afford any of the vintage stuff, but I recently purchased a Standard 50's AAA top Les Paul from Sweetwater and I absolutely love it. My first Gibson but it won't be my last. My next purchase will be a Gibson Custom Murphy Lab. I think that will be the one that get's buried with me.
I actually really like Agnesi. He only asks about what is cool. Gotta be one of the hardest jobs.
Really enjoyed this - Thanks guys
Amazing channel! I've been watching Mark for years back with Norman's Rare Guitars. I'm glad he's still geeking out and satisfying all guitar lovers. One thing, PLEASE, play the guitar! I would like to hear the beautiful guitars!
Marc is the best "everymans" dream player and Historian. Gibson has made it through hurricane winds and tornadoes! Amazing company!
They edited out a couple minutes and reposted it. Anyone know what they cut? I'm not going to watch it all again, but I can see the upcoming Adam Jones USA model is still shown, the Korina V and Explorer and the silver burst acoustic are still there too. There must be something they didn't want shown....
Dave Mustaine said the new Megadeth album name. Has that been cut out?
@@haydenbrown353 nope he still says it at 58:05
1:07:07 and beyond.... a silver burst acoustic that is tastefully done all the way around. I'm sure it's horrendously unaffordable to most, but I DID manage to get the purple burst SG modern a couple weeks ago, (exclusive from the factory, can't buy it in a store folks )and I must say I'm blessed. Everything about it is beautiful and well worth saving ur dollars for!!❤😃🥰
