Marcus is a fantastic choice for a signature artist, bravo Gibson. Thanks for not just picking random influencers, who never gig or play live, like other companies.
@@RolandSpecialSauce For sure, Rick is a legend, but he doesn't gig or play live. That's my only point. There's plenty of amazing musicians that get signatures and don't play live
I have had and have vintage Gibson acoustics. 36 L-00, 30 L-1 and just bought the ML 1933 L-00. It sounds the friggin same. Honestly. I’m very impressed with what Gibson’s ML is doing. Have a heavy aged ML 58 LP too and it feels like it’s been played for years. The neck is fantastic. I know they’re a lot of coin but you have to try em before commenting really. You’d be amazed. Lots of extra work went into these, right down to different composition nitro finish. Just the CS acoustics were outstanding but the ML adds another dimension. Good job Gibson.
I saw Drew play in Bishop Gunn new years eve 2019 in Orlando. Seriously good player and the band was fabulous .I've yet to see Marcus King but one never knows.
The instruments may well be recreations, but the musicians behind them aren't...................Marcus and Drew are an inspiration to me and to many, well played Gentlemen 🎸🎸👌👌
These are really nice, but you can buy an actual early gibson acoustic for the price of one of these. I bought an immaculate 64 hummingbird over covid and that thing sounds killer. Yeah it has the adjustable bridge, but to me that’s all part of that 60’s sound. The murphy lab isn’t a bad option for electrics because the early electrics are unobtainable, but for acoustics, why not just go for the real thing.
I'd actually argue a new acoustic is a better buy, vintage acoustics generally come with more work needed, neck resets, bridge work, etc., whereas vintage electrics generally are ready to go.
@@DanDanTheGuitarMan Not mine. It was a case queen. Zero cracks or work needed. Neck is perfect. Action low, no buzzing. The luthier that appraised it called it a museum piece and the best sounding hummingbird he’s ever played. But yeah i agree many do have issues. You just need to be patient and keep an eye out for a good clean example. They’re out there. Edit: Problem with vintage electrics (50s and 60s) is they’re astronomically expensive nowadays for an all original example. Like irrationally so. I would definitely buy one if I could afford one though.
the original 60s ones sound a lot better as well, there arent any modern recreations that really sound similar. the only complaint id make towards them is the neck width/nut width is all over the place so finding one that plays really good can be tough but theyve all sounded beautiful pre 70-71 in my experience
They hold their value a lot more than a standard VOS guitar and also tend to have lighter woods used. Definitely not for everyone but they make total sense imo

Pretty much all guitar companies do that though. Rick Beato got a signature Gibson and he's just a youtuber these days
@@SlyRyFry Rick is also a producer and a great guitarist/teacher.

glad Drew is getting some spotlight, seriously underrated player!
Man, Marcus just oozes musical soul, love that guy. Great pieces, and these guys really show them off to full effect.

What a stellar soul. Marcus king has got it!
Man, I would listen to this for hours!
Groovy sofa gathering there - and an exciting line of guits. But Drew, , , Harrison's had the Tune-O-Matic bridge/saddle.

Je les ai vu en concert 🎵 ensemble à Paris cette année c’était exceptionnel ❤
One of your best ever videos, this really has heart. Well done!

@@Purezshock I would agree. My 64 fortunately has the wide neck width.
Marcus tunes the high E on the SJ200 after he hears it.
Same is it ever was.
Was that Death Letter by Son House?
All of this. ❤
I wish marcus king could collaborate with ZZTOP in the future
I hear Melisa on that 1st guitar 💫
Oh damn… take my money 🙈
I hope marcus king uses a gibson explorer
Amazing! ❤
Yo y mi colega compartiendo nuestros almuerzo en 2do de la eso
.. esistono due tipi di persone: quelle che adorano le j200 Murphy Lab e quelle che mentono....
All smiles. 😊.
Only a Gibson is Good Enough.
Girl on girl action is always great.
murphy lab destroys more guitars that are beautiful. to me its terrible
Agreed
Murphy lab guitars are a fad... 0 value added.
They hold their value a lot more than a standard VOS guitar and also tend to have lighter woods used. Definitely not for everyone but they make total sense imo
@lachl8634 The "collectors" find value as they look aged, but players are concerned with function as they are tools, not wall hangers.
@@bl00dy1ngMaybe that could be the next line of Gibson acoustics. Lighter wood for that aged sound without all the Murphy lab dings and scratches.
A German invented steel string guitars and it was the same German who invented the dreadnought… the only thing “Simple” here is your grasp of history.
sniffing is an important part of getting a new guitar 🤌
