I am not "trolling". Saying "trolling" is an easy way to dismiss what someone says without having to actually address the subject. Having said that, you have delivered a level headed well worded response. I will continue to tear at the cloth of myth surrounding the "Burst". Thanks for your clear, well delivered points. Cheers...!!!
Hey, I just jumped in, not knowing who you are, but I’m impressed you’ve engaged. My two cents is that for some, guitars are baseball cards. And some rare ones are Mickey Mantles.
@CameraLaw 💯 but they try to make it about the myth of the unattainable original vintage sound, that's where the BS needs to stop, which is the point that the other youtuber has been making.
I kinda find it anti human (maybe not the best phrase but) to think that we can put a man on the moon or build towering skyscrapers or explore the ocean but we can’t recreate a hunk of wood and scraps of metal and wire that they built in the 50s
Your observations about the stradivarius is true. Instruments like that were designed to be the best. Go look at the original 1958-1960 Gibson catalogues.(They are on-line) There was nothing special noted about the Les Paul. It was not even the top of the line offered by Gibson. In other words, it was just another electric guitar that was being made at the time. Gibson didn't design it to be "the best guitar in the world" and never made that claim about that guitar in their catalogue.To top it off, it sold so badly that they did away with it in 1961. People didn't want it when it was new. If people want to believe that the 1958-1960 burst Les Pauls are the greatest guitars ever made and want to spend a million dollars on them, great. Go for it. What some of us object to is these people's insistance that we share their delusion about these instruments. You know, "Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess..." Remember, it's not the wand, its the wizard.
I have never understood the logic that guitars made today are somehow inferior to guitars made in the 50s and 60s. That just doesn't make sense. Guitars made today are amazing. Even Paul Reed Smith says the guitars he (his company) makes today are the best they've ever been. Likewise, I fully agree that we can ascribe an immeasurable, even unreasonable, "magic" to the guitars that started it all; those first guitars that finally nailed the recipe. They're like happy little accidents that turned out wonderfully, and that's why we revere them.
The only reason people gush about vintage gear is that so much of it was hot garbage. So, when a good/half decent piece shows up, people insane saying “look! this is crazy good” when in fact it’s just ok. Todays’ gear is soooo much better than the crap made back then.
Lets get down to brass tacks because I think you forgot to mention some stuff, voyxo is not trolling because he was making videos about the bursts for weeks before Bukovac got involved. One came on my feed and I listened while taking care of my horses, didn’t think much of it. He never mentioned Tom. Then Tom started talking about him and made it personal by insulting his playing and where he played gigs, like a damn high schooler. Some like me were saying that’s not cool, why get into all of that stuff. Voyxo’s subsequent videos seem to be a response to all that and a bit of trolling but Tom opened that can of worms imo. And to say he’s a troll or stalker when Tom has commented on all this guy’s channels and videos and doxed him and he comments on literally every other channels’ videos that mentions him is strange.
I’m a fan of Tom, although I certainly don’t hero worship him, like a lot do. I respect his credentials and knowledge/insight, but I think the way he handled this whole ordeal, is terrible. Always blown away, when I see somebody that credentialed, with a long standing, unbelievable career, a family, etc. just go hard in the paint, getting into petty arguments and living in the comments section. Punching down, is never a good look imo.
The thesis is basically correct, the "myth" around these guitars is essentially bs. The prices they reach are largely built on the back of that myth, the utility value is off, the investment value is overinflated as many of them have absolutely no connection to a famous player which is where the real money is. Strad violins are much the same. Maybe even worse given the context around the music played on them, the venues they are used in and the miriad other changes since their production. Which also apply to a les paul from 1950 whatever. Not worth it in utility or as a risky investment. Oh, jeff absolutely does care if he's being ripped off, see his recent propery purchase shenanigans where he stiffed a guy for a million bucks or something even though he is one of the wealthiest people on earth. You remember that simpsons bit about bill gates buying homers company "you don't think I got rich writing cheques?" The best comedy comes from a place of fundimental truth 😅
Woods are just woods. Grain and type of wood does a ton on acoustics their tone and resonance. Not so much on electric. Mahogany is selected a lot because of the woods density and weight ratio. Because it's dense it won't shrink. It can expand but it won't shrink. Which solves one side of a instruments issues. Plywood would do just fine too. But pressed plywood is quite heavy. On electric what really matters for tone are 2 folds. Electronics and the density/hardness of the fretboard. You can make an excellent instrument from shipping pallets. Depending if your electric and fretboard is good.
Yes - he's trolling - and it's hilarious. That being said - I too am tired of the ridiculous amount of hype around those guitars. Guitar players are some of the biggest followers and ass-kissers you'll ever meet - and the 59 Burst is the pinaccle of hype. No guitar is worth $650K unless you've got more money than good sense. Many of the people hyping it up have hearing damage from decades of loud music that they are unaware of becasue they've never been tested and are not good judges of sound quailty - but don't you dare tell them that.
Demand vs supply. There’s millions of guitarists and there’s max 1,800 vintage bursts. And a lot of them have been owned by famous players and used on famous songs. Those ones have understandable value to collectors and because of the rarity, it pushes up the value of the rest of them. Nobody really believes they sound 300x better than regular Les Paul. Most things people hear can be found in most humbucker equipped guitars with the judicious use of ears. Pickups too hot? Turn the volume down. Not enough mids? Turn the mids up on the amp. Doesn’t have the sparkly highs? Turn your treble up.
Damn, I have to say I was pretty excited to see someone finally say the 59 is basically overrated. Vouch does have a point, he’s saying it can’t possibly be the best guitar and no guitar on the planet, with modern techniques can’t be better. He’s also saying people are basically lying saying the 59 just simply sounds better than anything else ever produced. I couldn’t agree more with the guy. It’s how people are packaging the 59 as this Mount Everest of guitars . To me they’re a rare guitar, not many were made and cool they’re old and collectable. I think in Voyxu’s defence, he’s saying people are lying about this 59 sound just to bolster their 59 investments. I don’t see how that’s not true. I don’t think he’s trolling, I think honestly it’s fair what he’s saying. The way he’s going about it though, yeah it’s a little childish. But Tom’s responses are also extremely childish.
I don't understand why anyone cares so passionately whether a guitar is worth half a million or not, or wether its the best guitar ever made or not. I live and breathe guitar and music yet it doesn't matter to me......
Funny how youtube guitarists seem to be living in music stores nowadays. Back in the days you had A guitar and An amp, maybe a second guitar in case a string breaks on stage, but that was pushing it. Now guitarists own a wall full of guitars, piles of amps and huge collections of stomp boxes. Just look at his background! Why doesn't this abundance of gear affect the quality of contemporary music in a positive way?
Why are legitimate guitar youtube channels even acknowledging this guy? His videos are garbage and you’re only giving him oxygen to keep making this dumb click bait.
Usually, good guitarists are well versed in the story of their gear, have tried and compared. They might have a different opinion than 'collectors'... & there's the mystique and the romance . It's not about the gear , it's about the Music !
@@pedroleal7118 I suppose what meant is… in my experience my friends who are professional musicians in Nashville and make this living playing music on record and in front of people are never the ones who geek out over the input impedance of a vintage fuzz or the type to only use monster gold limited pure 100% blah blah blah cables. They usually just use the stuff they have found sounds good and others have all sorts of nuanced knowledge of gear but players are very practical about their gear… that’s what I meant by simplistic understandings. I didn’t say it very well.
Not playing an instrument, it has already died. Play it and record it that will leave a more lasting history. That way everyone can appreciate the instrument.
Nah I don't think thats true.... I sell Kemper profiles, captures and IRs for digital devices. I don't own a burst and my best performing video on YT is on cheap imports so.... I really don't have a dog ion the burst fight. Weather a Burst is worth $50k or $650k.... I don't see how I have a self interest in this.
@@ToneJunkieTV Oh, I was under the impression somewhere along this video timeline that you had looked at guitars as an investment and perhaps owned a burst; vintage or otherwise. If you don't own a burst then its simply commentary and your point is taken. LOL! Ce la Vie, All the love, Keep up the conversational aesthetic of the channel. Cheers. PS: I ****** LOVE my Kemper Profiler, but Do not own the Profiler REMOTE yet. Q: How much more does open up the utility of the whole Kemper experience???
@@Dreadeye77 I do own some Vintage guitars and they have been and I think will continue to be good investments but I only buy ones I can play and enjoy... the money thing is an added bonus. Kemper wise.... thanks so much for support. I use my profiler remote or Kemper stage every where I play. To me the functionality in performance mode with being able to raise and lower pretty much any parameter and have the morphed or regular setting of everything is like the APEX of switching capability. My set up isn't too fancy but IMHO nothing is as flexible and easily assignable as the kemper win performance mode with the remote. You'll love the remote. For some reason they have stayed pretty expensive.
As someone who has had alot of access to a real 58 burst and while it's nice it's not the holy grail imo, tone is subjective anyway I built replicas years ago but stopped to make my own modern vintage version that's lightweight and comfortable yet still gives the old tones people like, generally vintage guitars are just hard work, mojo is really difficult to define but the old Gibson necks are probably my favourite profiles and not many modern ones really get it.
Scam? No. It would only be a scam if it turned out to be fake or not what the seller claimed. Regardless of whether the guitar is good or not, Jason’s guitar is the actual Red Eye, and the story is what cost him 650k. Not saying I agree the price, but it is authentic and worth what someone is willing pay. If John Mayer's Black1 went up for sale today I'm sure it would likely fetch over $100k.
All of those "What's it like to be the best guitar player..." stories are made up. I don't have a dog in this fight, and really don't care, but I do I have my own opinion. Looking in from outside, I can say that to me Tom comes across as unhinged. He's commenting on so many videos it's ridiculous. If he thinks that voyxu is a troll, then he should ignore him. If he thinks he's misinformed, then educate him. That's not what Tom did. He went straight to personal attacks. Frankly, I don't blame voyxu for defending himself and his position. He was stating his opinion about the burst hype, and Tom flamed him out of nowhere.
There is only one "Greeny", only one "Phoenix"only one "Jimmy Page #1", only one "Lucy", only one "Blackie". most of the other vintage guitars just have a cool story. Ask Norm of Norms Rare Guitars, who has made a career out them or Joe Banamassa.
Not every late 50's cherry burst les paul is considered the be a "burst", many late 50's les pauls were crap, but the ones that were good were magic. So when they talk about "bursts" theyre talking about the good ones. Supreme amounts of resonance and sustain, magical orginal paf pickups... When you play a guitar like that inspiration justs flows in a way that a gibson you buy off the top row at GC is not going to. So if you spend half a million on a guitar that inspires you to write a number one hit or multiple, id say its well worth it
What are you even talking about? Every single 1958 59 and 60 les Paul is a Burst. It doesn't matter how it sounds. It doesn't matter if it's in 3 pieces. It would than be a broken burst.
@robertsapin5074 you can call it a burst, but when the people that own them, sell them, or play them on a regular basis talk about them, they are not talking about the bad ones, they are only talking about the good ones
There's absolutely way too much nonsense spouted about "vintage" guitars!. Some are incredible, most are good (with a set-up) and there's total dogs!. Most of it is driven by pipedream and hopium.
The guy is an obvious troll. His channel is just a Bukovac hate account at this point. 10+ videos about Bukovac in the last few days is is psychotic. I suspect he would even welcome hate watchers so I suggest blocking his channel preemptively 👍
Yeah , he is . But I can’t blame him . What’s much more bizarre is the way Bukovak responded … TBH , there always was something with that guy that really rubbed me the wrong way . I know he’s good , blah blah …. But so what . The guy does say some really bizarre things and acts in a very bizarre manner . It reminds me of something I realized a long time ago .. guitar players, even really good ones , are not very intelligent people. I’m sorry but it tends to be true . I say this as a guitar player myself . In particular, guitar players are very superstitious and will fight progress tooth n nail because ‘that’s not how so-n-so did it 🥴’ … I don’t believe the hype about burst . I think it’s an investment. Which is fine but .. come on . Guitar players are Luddites. A Luddite is someone who reject change , technological advancements, and progress. The only reason I know that word is because I was looking for a word to describe guitarist and I found that word which fits to a T. … the guy trolling is strange , Bukovak is definitely a .. different type of character. But the way Tom responded was particularly weird. He let something so silly REALLY get under his skin which tells me he probably has a very fragile ego … I know what it means when people have particularly fragile egos and that tracks with what I have seen from The Buk.
@@juanvaldez5422 Yes, Voyxu is trolling and Tom’s ego is so fragile he can’t quit taking the bait. I don’t want to understate the value of music to peoples lives but at the end of the day being a guitar player is just fiddling around with some bendy wire and wood. It’s not all that important or impressive compared to say a surgeon or an engineer. Most people in the music world, including myself, keep some part of ourselves in eternal teenage immaturity. Tom is embarrassing himself.
At first I thought VOYXU was serious, but now I feel like he is just trying to prop his channel up with this trolling non- sense.... like it's a joke your annoying friend keeps telling that's gets less funny everytime it's heard.....just my opinion though.
Tom seems like an alright guy. I’ve enjoyed his channel. The whole vintage guitar thing though is just 🐂 💩. I think great guitars came from back then and shyt ones too, just like today. It’s a mass produced electronic device with the same variances as mass produced stuff today. Right now in a guitar center there is a great lp hanging on the wall that I could love for life. There’s one hanging in Carter’s I could love for life too. There’s also ten lp’s on either side that suck at both stores too. This is a human artistic venture.
i wouldn't call tom an "amazing" player. above average yes, but only that. now matteo mancuso is an amazing player. alan holdsworth yes. john mclaughlin deffo. but tom? average. a pentatonic addict.
hmm... well i guess it's all subjective. I could make a whole video on how wild I think this statement is... agree to disagree I guess! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, the support means a lot. Cheers!
I suppose you’d lump Gilmour, Page or Hendrix into the average bucket because they don’t possess what it appears is the measuring stick you use or the necessary pyrotechnics to make your “amazing” list? 🤷♂️
lol. He plays on modern records that are simple which he has zero say in. He’s not trying to be holdsworth and he’d get fired in a day if he did. He’s a studio guy, one of the most requested and sought after in the world for like 20 years. Played on records that have cumulatively sold tens of millions of copies. What an insane take.
@@vaisatchatrucci whoaaaa, steady on boy, where did that come from? you are so wide of the mark. i've been playing since hendrix was around and don't really buy into the shredders of this world, not my bag. i play a lot of the guys you mention and don't play any mancuso, holdsworth etc. maybe that's why i call them amazing? guys like eric johnson etc are all pretty amazing in my book. and i'm closer to david gilmour than you'll ever know. tonejunkie has it when he says it's all subjective. one man's poison is another's .... your opinion is yours. and mine is mine. and i stand by what i said, subjective tho' it is

Something is worth what someone else will pay. That's all.
I’m totally caught up in all this. The blues in C#minor is actually hilarious.
All good points.

Not every late 50's cherry burst les paul is considered the be a "burst", many late 50's les pauls were crap, but the ones that were good were magic. So when they talk about "bursts" theyre talking about the good ones. Supreme amounts of resonance and sustain, magical orginal paf pickups... When you play a guitar like that inspiration justs flows in a way that a gibson you buy off the top row at GC is not going to. So if you spend half a million on a guitar that inspires you to write a number one hit or multiple, id say its well worth it
What are you even talking about? Every single 1958 59 and 60 les Paul is a Burst. It doesn't matter how it sounds. It doesn't matter if it's in 3 pieces. It would than be a broken burst.
@robertsapin5074 you can call it a burst, but when the people that own them, sell them, or play them on a regular basis talk about them, they are not talking about the bad ones, they are only talking about the good ones
There's absolutely way too much nonsense spouted about "vintage" guitars!.
Some are incredible, most are good (with a set-up) and there's total dogs!.
Most of it is driven by pipedream and hopium.
The guy is an obvious troll. His channel is just a Bukovac hate account at this point. 10+ videos about Bukovac in the last few days is is psychotic. I suspect he would even welcome hate watchers so I suggest blocking his channel preemptively 👍
No doubt. At this point he’s trolling. A couple videos should have satisfied his point. It’s beyond ridiculous at this point.
Yeah , he is . But I can’t blame him . What’s much more bizarre is the way Bukovak responded … TBH , there always was something with that guy that really rubbed me the wrong way . I know he’s good , blah blah …. But so what . The guy does say some really bizarre things and acts in a very bizarre manner . It reminds me of something I realized a long time ago .. guitar players, even really good ones , are not very intelligent people. I’m sorry but it tends to be true . I say this as a guitar player myself . In particular, guitar players are very superstitious and will fight progress tooth n nail because ‘that’s not how so-n-so did it 🥴’ … I don’t believe the hype about burst . I think it’s an investment. Which is fine but .. come on . Guitar players are Luddites. A Luddite is someone who reject change , technological advancements, and progress. The only reason I know that word is because I was looking for a word to describe guitarist and I found that word which fits to a T. … the guy trolling is strange , Bukovak is definitely a .. different type of character. But the way Tom responded was particularly weird. He let something so silly REALLY get under his skin which tells me he probably has a very fragile ego … I know what it means when people have particularly fragile egos and that tracks with what I have seen from The Buk.
@@juanvaldez5422 Yes, Voyxu is trolling and Tom’s ego is so fragile he can’t quit taking the bait. I don’t want to understate the value of music to peoples lives but at the end of the day being a guitar player is just fiddling around with some bendy wire and wood. It’s not all that important or impressive compared to say a surgeon or an engineer. Most people in the music world, including myself, keep some part of ourselves in eternal teenage immaturity. Tom is embarrassing himself.
Provenance. Good video.
At first I thought VOYXU was serious, but now I feel like he is just trying to prop his channel up with this trolling non- sense.... like it's a joke your annoying friend keeps telling that's gets less funny everytime it's heard.....just my opinion though.
Tom seems like an alright guy. I’ve enjoyed his channel. The whole vintage guitar thing though is just 🐂 💩. I think great guitars came from back then and shyt ones too, just like today. It’s a mass produced electronic device with the same variances as mass produced stuff today. Right now in a guitar center there is a great lp hanging on the wall that I could love for life. There’s one hanging in Carter’s I could love for life too. There’s also ten lp’s on either side that suck at both stores too. This is a human artistic venture.
i wouldn't call tom an "amazing" player. above average yes, but only that. now matteo mancuso is an amazing player. alan holdsworth yes. john mclaughlin deffo. but tom? average. a pentatonic addict.
hmm... well i guess it's all subjective. I could make a whole video on how wild I think this statement is... agree to disagree I guess! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, the support means a lot. Cheers!
I suppose you’d lump Gilmour, Page or Hendrix into the average bucket because they don’t possess what it appears is the measuring stick you use or the necessary pyrotechnics to make your “amazing” list? 🤷♂️
lol. He plays on modern records that are simple which he has zero say in. He’s not trying to be holdsworth and he’d get fired in a day if he did. He’s a studio guy, one of the most requested and sought after in the world for like 20 years. Played on records that have cumulatively sold tens of millions of copies. What an insane take.
@@vaisatchatrucci whoaaaa, steady on boy, where did that come from? you are so wide of the mark. i've been playing since hendrix was around and don't really buy into the shredders of this world, not my bag. i play a lot of the guys you mention and don't play any mancuso, holdsworth etc. maybe that's why i call them amazing? guys like eric johnson etc are all pretty amazing in my book. and i'm closer to david gilmour than you'll ever know. tonejunkie has it when he says it's all subjective. one man's poison is another's .... your opinion is yours. and mine is mine. and i stand by what i said, subjective tho' it is
Guthrie Govan is who I would call an "amazing player"
