Well slash used a repro lespaul on the AFD album. And Gibson did a run based on it much later. Who makes the guitar really doesn’t matter imo. As long as it’s well made.
Yes. Exactly. The best musicians make amazing music with anything. Chris is one of those musicians. When we watch a Chris Buck video, 90% + of the enjoyment is because of the notes he plays and how he plays them, and the remainder is what he's playing through.
Hey Chris, the Reverb listing you show the screen grab of at 5:33 is actually my Reverb listing for the matched Dry Z set from November, 1981. When I saw that I kinda chuckled. Cheers
You don't need an iconic guitar to sound awesome. The guitar needs YOU. They should be lining up to get into your hands. Love your tone, sound, and musicality. 😎
He is a beast but his "sound" is basically silicon chips and diodes. I don't know why he wastes money on guitars. He could play a bullet squire and sound the same.
@@cgavin1 You make it appear as if he's cheating in some way - that using modern modelling technology is a betrayal (assuming that's what he's actually doing). To me this negates the myriad professional guitarists who get phenomenal sounds from 'chips and diodes'. Perhaps some sort of double-blind test to see if the differences between technologies can be determined might be useful: I believe one or two people might just have attempted it on RUclips.
As they say, "tone is in the fingers/hands". Your playing as always is sublime. That is one beautiful looking and sounding guitar, regardless of its pedigree. God bless and rock on bro!
Hey Chris! Just wanted to chime in to say thanks for all the energy you put in to sharing your content with the world. I turn 47 this year and have been playing guitar since high school but I've only recently made a decision to be a better guitar player. I'm working on undoing some of my bad habits, as well as learning to actually practise instead of just jamming all the time! I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel and I've been binge watching a whole lot of your content since. Much respect. I love how you play (style is everything). I hope more people on the planet discover your amazing art. Wishing you all the best!
See, now I've also got an '80 EGF-1200 but for some strange reason I can't make it sound like that.. definitely not my lack of ridiculous skill, no sireeBob. Stunning playing as ever man.
Ooh that sick double "1234" lick from the Redbone video makes a reappearance.. always loved that one.. fantastic intro man, and the whole rest of it for that matter
Tone, feel, and dynamics. In this intro, he swaps back and forth between fingers and pick much more than usual but I’ll bet he never really thinks about it. Just happens to feel right.
Blown away again! Can't wait to find you playing a show somewhere in the world and make my way there to hear this live. You've just made my bucket list!
Mr. Chris...I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time now....What I do is watch your intros about twenty or so times then get into the whole show...Keep on keeping on young man 👍😎🎸
Hi Chris. First off, more great playing. Awesome. Secondly, this episode really spoke to me as I'm the proud owner of a Tokai Les Paul Reborn gold top made in 1982. I stumbled across it about ten years ago, tried it out, and fell in love with it immediately, especially given I paid $800 Canadian for it. Mine doesn't have the original tailpiece as the original owner added a Bigsby to it (which he'd never do to a real Les Paul). Fantastic guitar that like yours, had the Tokai logo replaced with a Gibson one. It was really nice to see and hear yours played by someone infinitely more skilled than myself. Great video. Thanks Chris.
I rarely find guitarists that inspire me to play, but almost every intro jam I end up picking up my guitar and playing along. I play with my fingers and a tucked pick too, & it inspires me to see someone else do it so well.
Tim Shaw was the first to try and replicate the original PAF pickups. He worked for Gibson in the late 70s through 80s (not sure of date he left). They tasked him with developing a PAF style pickup and he largely succeeded, al- though Gibson did not allot enough money to acquire original spec wiring and other materials. But he made do with what he had and today, his pickups from late 70s-mid 80s are worth serious money. I have an ‘82 LP Custom with them and it sounds amazing, the best of four I’ve owned and as good (though different) as the original ‘54 Custom i bought in 1964 for ... ready for this? ... $125.00!!! Sold it in ‘68 for &400.00 to buy an ES 345, which was and still is (wherever she may be) the guitar I always wanted. Such is life ...
Yeah, you have great hands for tone and feel...but also great ears for knowing how to dial the perfect sound and pedal combination for each guitar. Keep on shining, beast!
Interesting thing is that Chris sounds like Chris on every guitar he plays. I’m not knocking it, he’s great, but all his drive sounds sound gloriously like him, no matter if it’s a strat, revstar or a Les Paul. Not a big difference but it still sounds good.
Hey man, relatively new subscriber here. Haven't even watched yet, I just wanted to say that there was a brief moment yesterday where I literally got excited because 'Friday Fretworks tomorrow'!
In the opening jam I thought; That yellowed binding looks like my Greco". Lol... Congrats on your new acquisition! I have a 78 that I bought mainly out of curiosity, and it has proved to be my new fav.
I have a Tokai Love Rock LS 120 that is fantastic. Nitro, not too heavy. Neck tenon. High quality electronics.I put a pair of Seth Lovers in it. It sounds great and plays like butter.... :)
Fabulous playing Chris.... Guitar looks pretty good.... Suggest you look up huw davis' article in Guitar Magazine in about 2016 about how to make a modern les paul sound vintage without huge amounts of wonga! And it works!!
Who is Huw Davis when he's at home? ;) I think you might mean Huw Price - who did all the testing with Ed Oleszko - who Chris mentions in the video. Link below maybe? guitar.com/guides/essential-guide/vintage-les-paul-tone-guide/
Chris, I've got an idea: I'll send my Les Paul and Strat to you. You make a video with them. Then I would have the best Les Paul and Strat in the world!? You are a true legend, keep going! And hey that is a killer burst, want one!
Hi Chris! As always, a great video! Always interesting and lot to learn! Wsy to go in RUclips 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And have to admit that I wish you upload your intros to spotify man! I love all your short instrumental songs!! 🤣
It's a great vintage guitar, I'm 55 years old, I'm spanish, I remember the Grecos and the Edwards Les Pauls, they were a really good option to a Gibson back in the 80's when I was young, but hey, who cares about the guitar, it's how you play it man, incredible!!
Thanks Chris! Beautiful. My first guitar was a Vantage VLP-500 from '79; it seems it may be somewhat related. If only I could tease a fraction of the beauty out of it.
Sounds awesome Chris. I think you would really enjoy a TS-10. Good investment piece as well. I picked one up a few months back and they definitely have a slightly different tone to them the the TS-9 and 808. I really think you would enjoy it and sound awesome playing it especially with the Klon as a boost and the Cali 76.
Chris you are my favorite Guitar Player today . I like the fact that you play with a lot of feeling and that does not effect on your technical ability but on the contrary it enhances your music.... Thanks for your shares I really enjoy them ....
You play so beautifully and very emotive - it might sound odd but there's something of Sam Cooke in there, like he sung mainly major scale notes but it still sounded really bluesy cos of his slides and inflections. Amos Garret had a bit of that too but you're drenched in it; terrific, impressed.
A gorgeous looking guitar despite not being the “real” thing. When Buck & Evans gets their first top 10 album and single Chris may not have to settle for a repro.
I did the same thing my man. Got an 81' Tokai LS-100 which is an old wood Cherry 335. Some OX4's and 50's wiring made her sing and now my favorite guitar.
Hey Chris, after listening to your initial comments about your mod plans and then hearing both pickups, you might want to consider hanging on to that bridge pickup as is (or for a while at least). Have a good listen back to the Audi again but it sounds bloody marvellous in my headphones in my humble opinion. Give it at least 6 months to let those cravings settle, or if not go ahead and scratch that itch - I’m certain of one thing; you’ll make it sound incredible whatever you put in it! 😉
Chris you've won a watch with this instrument it sounds fantastic, reminds me of my favourite player Paul Kossoff, I'm sure you could replicate his famous vibrato. Hope to see you playing with your band in Glasgow in the future, take care buddy and cheerio from Glasgow.
Talking to Chris after a gig in Newcastle a few years back, when he was temporarily living in Glasgow and telling me how much he loved the city. He told me he's a big Billy Connolly fan too.
Chris has shown us over the years that the cost or make of the guitar doesn’t matter. He sounds just as good on a Squire and a 62 Strat. I have been fortunate enough to be able to purchase some of my dream guitars, in particular a 58 Les Paul that I absolutely love. My favorite go to guitar is my very first electric I owned, a 96 Epiphone Les Paul Standard. I have never picked up a Gibson Les Paul that can compare to the feel of my Epi. I replaced the pickups and pots a couple years ago and love it even more. If the guitar vibes with you, then it is the right one.
Quoting Tom Bukovac: “it’s not the arrow, it’s the Indian” Obviously the guitar is superb, but your playing, man, that’s next level! Keep on posting and inspiring us all!
Chris I owned an original Fender Strat 1959-bought in 1961-I’m 75 yrs old- maple neck sunburst. It’s long gone of course . I do however have an E series Japanese Strat maple neck. Had all the electronics gutted ( doesn’t sound much different than the original Japanese electronics ) . You may want to check out these Japanese Strats from 84-85. This guitar is exactly like the original. Cost me around $700. for the pots,caps ,pups,and solid sleep Haliham block . If you didn’t know it was made in Japan in 84-85 there is no way you would know it wasn’t USA vintage. Needless to say I read up. Fender USA was building their new plant here in California and shipped the machinery to Japan. I’m sure you’ve read the story. Cheers from S.F. Ca.
I get the most satisfaction from my LPX especially nowadays during the latest makeover over many years of other makeovers since receiving it for my 15th birthday. Only Gibson element on it is the TP6 tailpiece and it's had fair share of cheap aftermarket humbuckers and the G&B Golden Age Parson Street A2 neck humbucker is about as close to an actual '59 Les Paul as I'll ever get and I'm good with that; by the way your 'burst' sounds very good!
![Mariah Carey - We Belong Together [American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UnO2m2BEXDU/mqdefault.jpg)
I wonder how many of us watch just for Chris’s amazing intros, and his inimitable style?
Yep, that too!
He’s very good, but hardly inimitable
All of us....
Dude fkng lives in 2077 hes so great it's seems impossible. A true artist
I'm guessing that a lot of the time his amp is quite loud but he plays soft so when he does spank it it screams a bit.
Well, it may not be a genuine "burst" but those are certainly the real Chris Buck hands.
Well slash used a repro lespaul on the AFD album. And Gibson did a run based on it much later. Who makes the guitar really doesn’t matter imo. As long as it’s well made.
In my opinion it's much harder to fake those hands than the guitar.
Good job, Bucky boy.
Much more important than the guitar is the person playing it and in 45 years of playing and listening your one of the very best, don't ever stop.
Yes. Exactly. The best musicians make amazing music with anything. Chris is one of those musicians. When we watch a Chris Buck video, 90% + of the enjoyment is because of the notes he plays and how he plays them, and the remainder is what he's playing through.
Incredible information!! Great job Chris!!
Do you have any greco tomo? Im a big fan fan of greco super reals and have more than 25 of them that i have been collecting for more than 10 years.
Honestly, you're the most inspiring guitarist I've heard in years. I can't wait to see you live again!
Hey Chris, the Reverb listing you show the screen grab of at 5:33 is actually my Reverb listing for the matched Dry Z set from November, 1981. When I saw that I kinda chuckled. Cheers
Man, your touch is exquisite.
Do you think she said the same thing?
@@flouisbailey "the way you bended and muted my strings made me resonate like no one before"
Again with the outstanding intro. Blows my mind every time.
Thanks very much Chris happy playing ❤
You don't need an iconic guitar to sound awesome. The guitar needs YOU. They should be lining up to get into your hands. Love your tone, sound, and musicality. 😎
Well said
Yes! Guitars WOULD line up for great hands if they could!!
Your playing is full of feeling amazing tone and class! 👏👏🎶🎸🎶👏👏
I just wait for your jams..Love your playing man...❤❤❤💖💖💖
This guy is a beast, he could sound good on a guitar made from a milk carton
And he could explain why 2% milk cartons sound better than skim.
🤘🥛🎸
That's nothing. I can take a 1960 VOS Custom Shop Les Paul and make it sound like an actual milk carton. Beat that Mr Buck!
That’s a fact. The feeling he conveys... inspirational
He is a beast but his "sound" is basically silicon chips and diodes. I don't know why he wastes money on guitars. He could play a bullet squire and sound the same.

pffff man I am always in awe with your playing. So beautiful and tasteful. I feel it up and down my spine
That intro jam was absolutely beautiful! Insane touch!
Chris Buck is one of my favorite players recently, he plays so tasteful.
He's consistently playing his intros at levels I literally dream of playing at.
Edit: let's not forget his JAM!s ofc
Just ridiculous. Smooth, new and creative. And humbling. Getting new understanding of the guitar even though I have been playing fifty years.
See, now I've also got an '80 EGF-1200 but for some strange reason I can't make it sound like that.. definitely not my lack of ridiculous skill, no sireeBob.
Stunning playing as ever man.
Whatever it is, it's in great hands!
Don’t matter if it burst or not , any Les Paul will sound like an original burst in the hands of Chris.
Man, no words. Your playing is so distinct. goes from the ears through the heart to the gut. A full body experience 😂
Keep making my Friday with your playing & schooling brother, rock on!
Ooh that sick double "1234" lick from the Redbone video makes a reappearance.. always loved that one.. fantastic intro man, and the whole rest of it for that matter
Everyone talks about what a great player Chris is. And they’re right. But can we take just a moment to appreciate just how awesome his TONE is?
Tone, feel, and dynamics. In this intro, he swaps back and forth between fingers and pick much more than usual but I’ll bet he never really thinks about it. Just happens to feel right.
Tone is in the player.
An exceptional player usually has an exceptional tone...
Blown away again! Can't wait to find you playing a show somewhere in the world and make my way there to hear this live. You've just made my bucket list!
Amazing righthand technique, won't learn that in a week!
That intro though. 🙌
Now im tuning in weekly! Great work and amazing playing Chris!
Mr. Chris...I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time now....What I do is watch your intros about twenty or so times then get into the whole show...Keep on keeping on young man 👍😎🎸
Love the way you go from fingers to pick and back effortlessly. Great FFW as usual .
I’m in awe of your playing every time o hear you. Love the videos.
I love it when he throws more than 2 JAMS into the video!
We SO appreciate you, Chris!!! Great Fretworks!!
Damn, the last jam hits me right in the face!! Superb playing as usual. Thnx Chris

Maxon made the Dry z pickup in the late 70's like 78 or 79 maybe 80 so around the same time as Tim shaw....
Yeah, you have great hands for tone and feel...but also great ears for knowing how to dial the perfect sound and pedal combination for each guitar.
Keep on shining, beast!
Just awesome Chris! Thanks again.
Hello sir. Big fan. Please post a lesson where you teach those really fast smooth runs.
Your technique is mesmerizing in the intro, so much going on to beautiful effect and I suspect a lot of it is in the muting which I can't see.
Every week I am blown away by Chris' intro playing, just amazing!
Goodness, Chris - your intros are always great, but this one was AMAZING!!!
Your playing is inspired/inspirational. Love the guitar!
You have a unique style. Inventive, melodic, excellent phrasing. That's your trademark.
These vids are one of the few highlights of my Friday evenings. Thanks, pal! 👌🎸⚡😎
Yeah !!! Gorgeous!... I own a 1975 Burny Les Paul with the Maxon pickups and it sounds fantastic!
That is *exactly* how a Les Paul should sound!!
Interesting thing is that Chris sounds like Chris on every guitar he plays. I’m not knocking it, he’s great, but all his drive sounds sound gloriously like him, no matter if it’s a strat, revstar or a Les Paul. Not a big difference but it still sounds good.
comment of the day ❤️
Gary Moore was like that .yeah he had real Bursts but on a strat or EMG loaded Hamer guitar he sounded nearly the same
@@joshmuz9018 good comparison.
Great video and stellar playing as always, Chris!! Perhaps an episode on how you got started playing guitar if it hasn’t been made yet?
Hey man, relatively new subscriber here. Haven't even watched yet, I just wanted to say that there was a brief moment yesterday where I literally got excited because 'Friday Fretworks tomorrow'!

Great PAFs are everywhere. Chris is such a great player he will make an Ibanez scofeild or any other great PAF guitar sound good.
1:19 so nice to hear those Redbone licks again 😌 no matter what guitar you pick up it always sounds magical
Chris, I've got an idea: I'll send my Les Paul and Strat to you. You make a video with them. Then I would have the best Les Paul and Strat in the world!? You are a true legend, keep going! And hey that is a killer burst, want one!
What a fantastic tone in the intro jam
Holy sh*t! That was one beautiful intro.
It’s like a magic trick what you did with the pick @12:53. I’ve got to try that.
Damn buddy! You are literally one of the most unique and soulful players of our time!!!
Hi Chris! As always, a great video! Always interesting and lot to learn! Wsy to go in RUclips 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And have to admit that I wish you upload your intros to spotify man! I love all your short instrumental songs!! 🤣
You deserve a shitton more subs! This is always THE video i'm looking forward to on friday.
Chris could get great tone out of a 2x4 with pickups on it. so bottom line it doesn't really matter if he got a fake or not
It's a great vintage guitar, I'm 55 years old, I'm spanish, I remember the Grecos and the Edwards Les Pauls, they were a really good option to a Gibson back in the 80's when I was young, but hey, who cares about the guitar, it's how you play it man, incredible!!
Best SG I ever played was a lawsuit era Yamaha (or Ibanez, it was a while ago)
Wow, I haven’t been this excited about someones phrasing and style in a long time. I also think you need to play through a Komet amp!
Thanks Chris! Beautiful. My first guitar was a Vantage VLP-500 from '79; it seems it may be somewhat related. If only I could tease a fraction of the beauty out of it.
Sounds awesome Chris. I think you would really enjoy a TS-10. Good investment piece as well. I picked one up a few months back and they definitely have a slightly different tone to them the the TS-9 and 808. I really think you would enjoy it and sound awesome playing it especially with the Klon as a boost and the Cali 76.
One of the most inspiring guitarists of all time!!

You play so beautifully and very emotive - it might sound odd but there's something of Sam Cooke in there, like he sung mainly major scale notes but it still sounded really bluesy cos of his slides and inflections. Amos Garret had a bit of that too but you're drenched in it; terrific, impressed.
Sometimes I wonder if you are some kind of wizard...
Keep up the great work!
A gorgeous looking guitar despite not being the “real” thing. When Buck & Evans gets their first top 10 album and single Chris may not have to settle for a repro.
He'd be lucky to buy an Epiphone on the PRS cheques you'd get for a top 10 album/single these days. And, I literally mean an Epiphone.
@@derekchapman5167 Chris will make any guitar sound great.
To all see BuckMagic on why he only plays inexpensive guitars, spoiler (they are less likely to be stolen).
I did the same thing my man. Got an 81' Tokai LS-100 which is an old wood Cherry 335. Some OX4's and 50's wiring made her sing and now my favorite guitar.
