The "It's a long way, to the top if you wanna rock n roll" guitar
It's his 64 firebird with 2 filtertrons and the humbuker in the middle he added in 74 in 76 he took the neck pickup out took the humbuker and put a mapletop finish on it
@@danielpetrucci8952 no it’s a 1963 firebird
I feel like this guy is playing way too politely for a Malcolm signature.
🤨
This guitar has nothing in common with Malcolms
@@peterhughes8699 before he ripped almost everything out and stripped the paint, this is what it looked like.
@@Wells306 Exactly. And I think you can catch a glimpse of this Gretsch in the time period before it was donated to Malcolm. Malcolm's brother George has it slung over his shoulder while he runs over to play the piano in the live version of the Easybeat's song "Good Times," it's seen at: 1:57, 2:02, 2:06, and 2:11 (longest glimpse of it), it's too bad they only show close-ups of Harry Vanda's guitar, but not of George playing this one. That would have been a priceless view. It got some use in the Easybeats before it became famous in Malcolm's hands. Love Stevie Wright's singing in this-a great frontman.
@@Wells306 No it didn't. It never had 3 pups and the 2 that were in it were different pups. And who care's what it was pre-mods anyway. He changed it for good reasons
Arguably the Rolls Royce of rock guitars, the mighty Gretsch Jet, immortalised by The Late Malcolm Young (R.I.P).
Beautiful remake of an absolute classic guitar, great balance, great weight, great neck size and shape, very comfortable guitar to use sat down or standing up, standing up preferably. A guitar worthy of industry awards.
In my opinion, there's absolutely nothing that sounds, or looks, or plays as good as a Gretsch.
I love mine.. so many tones in there.. not all pleasing mind you.. middle pup is always on.. blend it in or turn it off.. bridge alone sounds like what we expect.. but the PAF was thick and warm in the middle as one might expect.. very well made.. Terada does a great job.. so much fun playing around with tones in this one.. not a fan of the typical tone switch and I prefer to keep that in the middle (off)... But what a tribute to the best .. !!!..nice job on this guitar Gretsch..!!.. bishop hat next??
This coming year 2023, they should bring out the Gretsch Country Classic Jr again... I beg you to make it again
Me like the look of this beauty.
Oh, yeah!
Nice! 🤘🤘🤘
Please when you release a Malcolm Young model, everyone would love to see if it can actually sounds like Malcolm's guitar. With a guitarist who at least tries to play a bit in Malcolm's style... This video or the Scott Ian one don't say ANYTHING to me about the guitar... If I want a real replica of Malcolm's beast I still don't know if I should buy this one, the salute jet, or any at all...
Check out ‘Mal Practice’ channel
The other version sounds awesome
rocks
Hey! Thank you for this video! I´m wondering how pieces of this guitar are produced?
I have the same, love it, but I really want to know what "number of limitet pieces" they are.
Someone gave me the info that they sell only 60 pieces in europe.
Do you know anything about it?
Thank you for your reply and keep going the good videos,
Vanessa
Where’s Scott ian
Inferno
Not bad.. not sure where the heft is coming from, but those pickups are the truth.. but the price tag ain't. No working musician can afford that. Mind boggling that they do this shit. At least with EVH he made a guitar with a price point that EVERYONE could afford of they wanted one, and the Wolfgang pickups were put in every model.
Really? If this demo is meant to demonstrate the tone of this guitar it's not doing it.
$10,000 is my guess it's not cheap looks like his original back in the 70s
It's $3,399.99
@@mhmoretti wow I thought it would be more I remember the series they came out with shortly after he passed only 40 of them made accurate down to the wear those were $10,000 this model reminds me of when the band first formed with Dave Evans looks absolutely beautiful
@@chrisbaughman9860 even at $4k it’s silly. And yea, this guy ain’t playing anything like Malcolm.
@@Thomasdgolden Malcolm was more buzzsaw played with a much more solid tone. Plus if he played like Malcolm his picks wouldn't survive they would atomize into nothing
@@chrisbaughman9860 How does one NOT sell a guitar? Do this video. For 4K get a used one chuck two pickups and get a brand new Mesa Boogie Mark V.
$5.6k AUD 😭
Wow, that sounds good! Mind you, I don't have $3400 for a guitar and probably the same in audio equipment to play it through. If I did, well, still wouldn't sound that good.
C'mon...ya could've put someone playing some hard, dirty, AC/DC rythms. Stevie helped put it together, get him!
Not everyone appreciates AC/DC…. I thought the demo was tasteful and I personally enjoyed it… in line with what this guitar can do…
Records a video of Malcolm's guitar... also plays 0 acdc songs
Gretsch Corp continue to do weird things with Malcolm. While he was alive, and by far the most famous man ever to play a Gretsch, the company almost completely ignored him. Now he's dead Gretsch intro new models using his name that are not remotely similar to Malcolms. This alleged signature model has nothing in common with Malcolm's, except for the double cutaway. Gretsch Corp will only be fooling the unknowledgable while the rest of us laugh at them. The Young family should be very angry imo for bringing the mans name into disrepute.
Do you know that it is the exact replica of Malcolm's Jet ? Before he stripped the finish down, it was exactly like that. He added the middle humbucker, changed the bridge etc. This model is like a time capsule that brings us back to 1975-76.
Well done Gretsch !
@@remibottriaux No it didn't. It never had 3 pups and the 2 that were in it were different pups. And who care's what it was pre-mods anyway. He changed it for good reasons
@@peterhughes8699 It definitely had 3 pickups. You might want to watch this film clip - ruclips.net/video/eQluGs2SFRs/видео.html
@@michaelhenderson1861 At one point it didn't: ruclips.net/video/THDZMWtubVc/видео.html

thats way too flashy for a malcolm guitar... he played bare bones with the pick up missing... propa aussie style.. ..
The Beast did look like this in earlier times in AC/DC. Check out "It's A Long Way To The Top" video with the band on the back of a truck through the streets of Melbourne.
"way too flashy" when it was literally the guitar he played for the first few years of ACDC LOL
