Here's the deal. If you walk into a guitar store in a plaid flannel shirt, 1930's era newsboy/cabbie hat looking like you may be familiar with a soup line because "Times are hard", then grab a relic J-45, your flat picking skills better be on point. Caleb did not disappoint. What an incredible display of what these Gibson's can do in the right hands. As Teddy KGB said in the movie "Rounders", "Pay that man his money. He beat that guitar straight up." or something like that. Bring Caleb back and let him wear in a couple of those custom Martins. Another great video Mark. Keep them coming.
Nice playing but Gibson is playing us too. Besides the torrified tops ( that for some reason Gibson just caught on to) they’re good CS guitars but adding the Murphy Lab title and charging us 2k more for a bit of false aging is ridiculous.
Ridiculous to some, and brilliant opportunity to get a old looking and sounding instrument without have to have the risk that comes with a real vintage guitar.
@@G_Demolished more money than brains. Paying three times the amount for someone to damage the guitar is just stupid. I prefer to make my own scratches, thank you !!
Hey Mark, this is really great man! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Caleb said he felt at home on that J-45!
Very nice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gibson has been using torrefied tops since at least 2015.
Anybody that pays the money for these has snorted some of the nitro chips they found flaked off in the case. Besides that, great playing !!!
Lol
Or they just have a lot more money than you do.

@@stevea2488 Cool story. The fact that they’re selling these means others disagree.
