Even with Les pronouncing that "They built it all wrong" 🙂 That ought to knock the price down.....Ha Ha, yeah right......What a fine example for sure!!
Every 50s tribute SG had the "prototype" stamp. They put that on as an Easter egg, as if they were prototyped before the SG became a thing in 1961. It's a fun little feature, but often results in people asking exorbitant amounts for them because it's misleading. Superb guitars though, I love mine, it's very lively.
I reckon it would be good if the '61 SG junior played by Gary Moore with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce ended up in the SG case previously owned by Eric Clapton 😊
There is something very pleasant in a worn SG The neck once its been damaged and repaired just adds to this. The junior would have been something very exciting in the 60's and the wood has absorbed it all. Lovely to hold and lovely to play. Ever thought about writing a book Luke?
Great guitars !...The 1952 Les Paul Gold Top is in INCREDIBLE condition , the first 65' SG is a beauty ! , The R-9 Les Paul should be in my collection , as well as the Gary Moore SG in TV Yellow ! Thank You !!
I have a 67 narrow neck Gibson and I like the narrow neck. Has a lot of meat behind it so feels nice. Nothing to worry about at all, they play very well (and I have large hands)
As a leftie, watching these (and just about every other guitar video) is nothing more than a huge tease. I could have 1 million dollars that I was ready to spend on vintage guitairs and wouldn't be able to find anything to buy.
SG Junior is quite a guitar. Ive had a few. I eventually got an SG special and kept with that due to the exact colour and neck profile I like If I use EQ right its exactly like a 61 junior! Such an underrated guitar.
First time watching! Some very nice guitars in this clip, BUT!! OMG, Gary's TV yellow LP/SG Junior is to die for!! I imagine it will go for big dollars based on providence alone. Oh well, getting to see it was a real treat and dreams of owning it are free 🙂. I do wonder what the reserve will be set at??
GM guitars of this nature trend to command figures on 20k plus these days. Although it does have a lot of vintage value in its own right. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
As I understand it, this one has provenance directly back to GM, but he apparently had more than one. The other one has a little bit murkier history but probably correct as well.
It was definitely GMs. Faultless provenance. The other probably was also Gary’s, but this is the one featured in the live footage and promo shots 👍🙂 Thanks for watching
Tried to comment but it looks like it won't let me include links! I've used the Wayback Machine to check Gibson's 2013 website and the 2013 LP is either a 50s Tribute or 60s Tribute. Both came as a satin goldtop with a dark back; the 50s had Klusons, 490R/498T, cream plastics and rounded 50s neck profile, the 60s had Grovers, Burstbucker 1&2, black plastics and a slim taper neck. Given that goldtop's got bits of both, I guess it'll come down to neck profile, but the 57 Classics aren't original, as you suspected. You can also find the product page for the 50s Tribute SG and it confirms the "prototype" stamp is a standard feature/easter egg. As I said, I did try to share links but RUclips doesn't seem to like it, but it's easy enough to have a look.
The Gold Top could also be a "Future Tribute" which came stock with zebra 57 classics and black plastics. Original dome knobs and robot tuners were probably replaced with Klusons and that's what we're seeing here. The model also has an asymmetrical neck profile and chambered weight relief body that the 50's /60's tributes didn't.
5:09 that goldtop looks exactly like my 2016 tribute t50s but my pickups are stock 480 r 498t not the classic 57s zebras but you did say they had been upgraded mine are all black and uncovered but the paint and look of the gold is exactly like mine so I think that les paul is a tribute and not a studio i could be wrong
This guitar has a different pickup to the guitar Gary Moore used on the Greeny album. Plus if this was the guitar sold from Bonham's a few years ago the tuning pegs are also different. I have watched the footage on RUclips and it's difficult to see the tuners clearly. I would be interested in the provenance you have for this. Was it a guy from down the pub that knew someone that knew Gary.
HELP == does anybody have information on Gary's white Gibson explorer specs and all? Not much on the internet pickups stock 500t 496R ?? or where that guitar is ... Anybody 🤷 thx
Gilmour and Floyd went through loads of equipment, giving it away, throwing it away,selling it,now they could buy more homes in foreign beauty spots and fast raving cars with the cast offs,such is life😂

had the pleasure of playing Gary's SG Junior years ago when it was in GAK in Brighton (his son used to work there). fantastic guitar.
Awesome! Both great guitars!
Gary Moore a legend , left us way to soon 🎸🎶
He was one of the best..if not the best..My biggest influence hands down..🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Wow that 52 gold top is immaculate. Should fetch a nice price 😮
Even with Les pronouncing that "They built it all wrong" 🙂 That ought to knock the price down.....Ha Ha, yeah right......What a fine example for sure!!
Yes! Quite a turn up for sure!

Never knew that. But then I’ve never seen one! 😅. Thanks for watching 🙂👍

That’d be something… maybe it will!
Gary Moores 61 sg jr..Top dog on this video..with the 52 goldie🎉
There is something very pleasant in a worn SG
The neck once its been damaged and repaired just adds to this.
The junior would have been something very exciting in the 60's
and the wood has absorbed it all.
Lovely to hold and lovely to play.
Ever thought about writing a book Luke?
Perhaps one day! Time permitting… Maybe in retirement… (a long way off of that ever comes!)
I don't know why - but I'd LOVE to see someone like Chris Buck come and do some demos on these beautiful guitars as a regular thing.
Every auction we do a series of demos. Next batch will be release in approx 10 days 🙂👍
That 1974 Lp Custom 🙏🙏👍
Mmmhmmm
Lots of good guitars coming to market
Great guitars !...The 1952 Les Paul Gold Top is in INCREDIBLE condition , the first 65' SG is a beauty ! , The R-9 Les Paul should be in my collection , as well as the Gary Moore SG in TV Yellow ! Thank You !!
Couldn't agree more!
This is one of my favorite channels !
Thank You
Thank you!
You Have the Best Job in the World.....
Thank you 🙂
My first guitar was a SG standard with a bigsby tail piece.
It was old when I bought it in 1974 from fast Eddys used guitar shop.
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😀👍
I have a 67 narrow neck Gibson and I like the narrow neck. Has a lot of meat behind it so feels nice. Nothing to worry about at all, they play very well (and I have large hands)
I also find them ok and in some scenarios prefer it 👍🙂
Incredible
5:48 Wow! Incredible there are still some out there, waiting to surface!
Yup! They still keep turning up!
As a leftie, watching these (and just about every other guitar video) is nothing more than a huge tease. I could have 1 million dollars that I was ready to spend on vintage guitairs and wouldn't be able to find anything to buy.
Quite a few lefty guitars in this sale 👍

For the love of God, man!
Don’t tell Bonamassa!
Lol
@@Bluepillphil-d1w LOL for sure!! I could see Jo Bo snapping that Gary Moore guitar right up!!

Have one more go - third time lucky on the 20th Anniversary fret No.? 👍😉👍
Is it disconcerting listening to an auctioneer who can’t count? 😂
@@GHguitarauctions At least you know your guitars! 🤪
This guitar is currently being looked into as it has been said it was not Garys.
As I understand it, this one has provenance directly back to GM, but he apparently had more than one. The other one has a little bit murkier history but probably correct as well.

Yes, certainly seems to be a tribute now that we have looked into it further 🙂👍
Love the 'air guitar' but can't afford it's case ... but what I really, really want is an SG/Lp a la Micky Jones (Man).

This is the “Bonhams” guitar. The original pegs are in the case. We also have the pickup that was installed at the time 🙂👍
The case should be reunited with the SG owner, couldn't Christies help trace him.
Ffs that goldtop, the queen of case queens
👸
HELP == does anybody have information on Gary's white Gibson explorer specs and all?
Not much on the internet pickups stock 500t 496R ?? or where that guitar is ...
Anybody 🤷 thx
Never have seen him with this guitar, but when its the real deal Kirk Hammet tries to get it for sure! 🤔
Gibson only, eh? Well, at least we'll know it will be authentic. Or has that joke run it's course??
Gilmour and Floyd went through loads of equipment, giving it away, throwing it away,selling it,now they could buy more homes in foreign beauty spots and fast raving cars with the cast offs,such is life😂
All of 'em! Ha, ha.
😅
Any basses?
Loads of basses in this sale, only 2 Gibson basses however…
