- You thought Larry would never do a silly "unboxing video"…...
well...you were dead wrong.
Here’s an in depth look at a 1961 Gibson SG Special I purchased recently from the fine folks at LA Vintage. Thank you Clif
Check out their website here friends:

Unboxing videos are not silly when you pull out a 61 Gibson SG special. Unboxing videos are silly when the host takes a half an hour to unbox a budget guitar from Amazon.
Hahaaaa
You have single-handedly made unboxing videos respectable. You have raised the standard. You have actually raised the bar for all other channels
The ones that kill me are when they unbox it after a half hour and never even play it!! Like WTF man!!! It’s all about what kind of sound the thing makes ain’t it ?
I guess it's psychological it's kind of like Christmas. Because they are popular for some reason.
Haha!
I've been playing for like 30 years and I don't think I've ever seen anyone do what you did at about 7:52 - where the bass note sustains and feeds back, while still playing clean notes on top without those notes getting messy or also feeding back. I didn't know that was possible. Thank you again professor.
For reallll that was money
What a glorious sound
Mind blowing!!
I always feel like a beautiful guitar like that… which made it through all those years deserves to be played by someone who can make it sing like it is capable of singing. You are that guy.
What a perfect guitar. That's a one-and-done guitar.
Just bought my first vintage guitar last week. A ‘65 SG Jr. that I immediately installed the Music City Savvy on. As soon as I had it dialed in I went right into “Tattoo” 😂
You’ve helped shape my musical life in many profound ways, Tom. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your wisdom with us!
I had to check out the Junior. Sounds great. You got the amp and guitar working together perfectly. I noticed the bridge change did it make any difference in sound.
@@stringlocker it did! A little brighter and more jangly with the Savvy. I’ve been going back and forth between the Savvy and the old Leo Quan badass bridge it came with as I’ve found the badass feels smoother under the fingers with the radius of Jr.
This is a really nice video, Tom. Townshend is the reason I started playing back in 1980, which made this even better. I really dig it when you go into riff dictionary mode. So many fantastic licks. You're a great, great player, man.
thank you bro
Sounds ACE! The mail person brought good news this time
The Session Man’s take on guitar setup is a very welcomed addition to your legacy on the ol’ Tube. Sure, there are tons of “How to Setup your Les Paul Like a Pro!” videos out there, but one by you is AUTHENTIC. Never discount that. Even when you redo what’s been done already, video wise (edit: which you rarely do), you always add real VALUE to the conversation. Cheers, Thanks and Rock On! 🤘🏼
I would absolutely LOVE a series of videos showcasing this type of setup preference on all the different types of guitars, as well as amp settings
An instrument like this needs a home with an artist like Tom. Good match.
Love this show as much as in the early days. What a goldmine of knowledge and the nastiest yet most graceful playing on RUclips
a real pot of gold for those who seek it! Uncle Larry is the ABSOLUTE and i do mean, ABSOLUTE, man!
For those about to rock, for those who have always rocked, and for those who will never stop rocking, we salute you! Love you Uncle Larry.
Hello Tom, hope you’re well. My brother and I spent yesterday in Nashville and stopped by Gruhn’s-and out of nowhere were treated like kings by the Mighty Greg Voros. We’re a couple of nobodies, and Greg couldn’t have been more kind and welcoming. Epic conversations as well. It was like we’d been friends for years. All that said, a solid 10 out of 10 hang. He even sent us out with a couple of bags of his coffee. Greg is solid gold! Just wanted to pass that story along. Thanks for everything you do here on the channel!Take care.
Btw, have you heard the 40th anniversary Live at Leeds with the ‘Live at Hull’ bonus set? It’s rad ⚡️
coolest dude on earth....glad you enjoyed it
Woow what a cool guitar. It is so clean, and the grain is straight and beautiful.
It definitely brings some angry rock and roll out of our old uncle Larry, and that is cool!!
In the immortal words of Wayne and Garth, "SCHWIIIIIIIIIIINNNGGGG!!!!!".
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, Unc!
❤❤❤making it reign Tom. Beautiful music reigning beautiful music.
Good LORD, what a guitar! Live At Leeds is my all-time favourite live album (well, trading spots with Frampton Comes Alive! on the regular) and an SG Special has been on my lusting for list for a long while. That one's a keeper!
and Humble Pie Performance Rockin’ The Fillmore.
@@steveg.3022 Totally agree with that one, too!
You did good Uncle Larry, that's a "good-'un" for sure. Extra special props for the section where you got the feedback note while still playing chimey pretty notes on the high strings. Dang!
Friday night bonus of two videos to watch with a beer 🍺 cheers from little old England dear Uncle
❤I’m calling this in from near the Oregon coast and it’s only Friday afternoon but I’m feeling the need for a beer too. Cheers to England
great tips on packing a guitar Unc. Nothing barks like those classic specials.
It’s easy to see when a guitar inspires someone. You really were digging in and flying around on that thing! Congrats! Sounds amazing!!!
Thanks for taking us on the unboxing experience. This was so cool and greatly appreciated. Sounds beautiful Tom, you got another good one!
Wow!!! Now that’s a Happy New/Old Guitar Day! That SG Special sounds fantastic under your fingers! Enjoy!
What a great sounding guitar in your hands!! A magical wand in the hands of the great wizard!!! Now I'm off to check out Tomo's new Les Paul!! Have a great weekend!!
You hit on one of the coolest aspects of learning to play guitar or a new lick when you said "I'll go to sleep and see if I can play it tomorrow". The first few times that happened to me it felt like magic. Practice and practice a lick and it just doesn't stick. The next day I i pick up the guitar and the lick is there, its crazy.
Lovin the sound of that Marshall JTM 20!
Starship Trooper! Dude!
That's a keeper. =)
Wow that blew me away, incredible guitar playing.
Very throaty voice in bridge! Nice score Larry!
Literally played one today , it was a 1973 sg special , probably not the best era but having said that it was a beautiful bit of wood and a fantastic neck , I couldn’t put it down . Also at the shop I played a 1961 tele that belonged to the late Great Bernie Marsden of white snake who passed away last week , there selling his collection at ATB guitars in Cheltenham UK , I felt so honoured for the opportunity to play it , I couldn’t afford anything in that shop but after playing those vintage guitars I wanted something so I bought an epiphone sg standard from Facebook marketplace on the way home for £225 😂😂 what a great day those
Congratulations! and thanks for blowing me away this morning! Way better than caffeine ........... LOL
WOW! Im not in the same room and you hear the magic in that SG. I could see you enjoying your self Tom more than usual. Nice find. 💥
Home Run! That thing sounds AMAZING!!! Especially unplugged.
My dream is to own a Gibson 61Sg. That guitar sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing.
It’s got great micro-phonics. The way it swells slowly in a pleasant way. Sweet guitar
Wow that axe has some magic very sweet. Full of mojo big time, good luck with your new awesome Gibson. ✌
That guitar is a fire breather! Nice score, it’s a keeper
I just ordered one of those Studfinder bridges for my 58 Lp Jr. As recommended by Granville Guitars in FL.
The foam is the key. I have a cheap Rondo SX with P-90’s I picked up for about $100. The pickups were microphonic as hell. I opened it up and the cavities were completely empty. A couple pieces of foam under them and god damn….. Killer tone
That is beautiful! My first real gutiar was a '62 special that I got in 1970. Other guys in different bands thougt it was a piece of crap until they heard it...they were all into shiny hubuckers that were so popular at the time. Some folks did not know what those pickups were!
Wo, Uncle Larry. Pairing a little GG4 with TV Dinner is amazing. Thank you brother for the amazing music and channel. Peace.
Dang.
That is one thrilling sounding instrument. Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s just your iddy biddy iPhone grabbin’ all that rock n’ roll ear candy you lay down for us Homeskoolers.
Uncle Larry: Dude, Kick ass! Love everything about this. Congrats on the axe!
Superb!,,...I must get one...I've been looking for a while now and then saw this vid....love it
Oh yeah, that SG wants to rock…and sound pretty too.
Still miss my ‘64, but it went to a good home.
Love it. This is another great idea for a video. I enjoy learning about vintage instruments with someone as knowledgeable as Unc.
WOW! Looks and sounds great!
Like like the way it faded leaving the dark fleck pattern of the wood grain. It looks very evenly colored and little signs of heavy use.
Great find my Friend!!!!!!!!
Rock on Larry!
Damn, that one SPEAKS! Born in '61 just like me. She's a keeper, Buk!
Amazing.. watched Tomo’s LP unboxing earlier.. now this SG! Great minds think alike! As a bonus, didn’t have to wait long to see/hear it after it’s been Bukovized!! Nice pick, Tommy (was hoping you’d throw a little Angus at us, though)!!!
Damn Tom! You are the chord guitar Master! Love the SG! Fabulous as always! Digging the fall and loving the football season. Cheers to you.
Toledo raised, and living in Portland OR. Thank you so much for all your pearls of wisdom, guitars and beyond!
I grew up during this period. I was fortunate to have had my senses on an assortment of Gibson and Fender instruments. I was always drawn to Gibsons. The feel, sound and smell. I'm sure old guys can remember that smell. It was intoxicating. You make that one sound pretty damn good Tommy.
You’ll Definitely be taking that to your next sessions Tom, it sounds mega, 👍🏻🌞⭐️
First - tone to die for. Second - seeing you carefully evaluate a guitar was super instructive. Thanks.
Amazing! Cleans up perfect, like "Sparks" on Live At Leeds. Thanks for tithe in depth look...
Good morning Mr. Bukovac (Uncle Larry.) I found you by accident when I came across the video you did with Vince Gill showing his guitar collection. I watched a few more of your videos, and then I read about you on Wikipedia. Congrats on your accomplishments. I am now a subscriber and signed up for your newsletter! I play a Gibson Les Paul Epiphone ('98) and I just got a Gretch Semi-hollow center block. Looking forward to your videos. Be well.
Hey Buko. Holy shit Bro! That thing sounds amazing. And it was easy to tell it was worth the no-see risk as soon as you started playing. You went somewhere dangerous… a place of sharp edged rock, a man’s ride with warning signs for those unprepared for six string savagery. In other words, it’s a keeper!
Your pal in Boston, Darin
That's going to sound like heaven ❤️
This episode will go down in Homeskoolin' history! I learned way more that how to ship a guitar-
Man I love SG's. Had a white SG Standard with Velvet Hammers that killed. Gave it to a friend but miss it sometimes.
I for one enjoyed this. As long as they are not the focus, throwing in an unopening is awesome. We get to see what the Pro's look for in sight unseen stuff!
That guitar brings out the beast in you -- amazing.
I was so blown away I only realised at the 12min mark that you were playing the little new JTM studio 😂.
Man that tone! OMG 😍👌
Happy NGD young Tommy 🎸👍
Uncle Larry getting something that speaks to him... rejoice home schoolers, class in session! Thanks undisclosed producer friend!
That sweet guitar is saying, " I can't believe I'm in Uncle Larry's sweet hands!" Larry's saying " I can't believe I have this sweet guitar in my hands! PERFECT MATCH!
Good grief. That thing is off the charts in your hands. Holy Hell.
Damn!! That thing is sick!! Switch in the middle was amazing…even over my phone! She sounds like Live at Leeds!!
I love the getting to know phase of a new to you guitar
Thank you for your continuous sharing of everything cool…
If you never play it again! Was worth it! Amazing playing!! LARRY! DANG SON!
Sounds amazing. Awesome tone, even through the phone. Ta for sharing Larry. Cheers 🍻
Tom, just got back from a gig. Havin a sip to unwind and look what showed up on my feed. Something about you bringing that SG back to life makes me feel hopeful. That beast is BACK! Even if you move it along to another player, it’s back in play. Kudos. Can’t wait to hear you play it.
I have two late-model Les Pauls (2011 LP Studio 60s Tribute with P90s, 2012 LP Standard with BB Pros)...so love them both, but bought the Tribute for the P90s and it NEVER disappoints!!
stunning wood grain. Delightful.
Holy shit! That thing is sweet!!!!! You're a master Uncle Larry. How about you lay some new tunes on us with that thing.
Dude that truly is the Live At Leeds axe man. Love that you went to some PT when you tested the neck for clean tones. Also loving all of your licks man. Thank you for taking time to share them.
Very Cool, Thankyou. Congrats on Awesome 'New' Guitar, enjoy. Stunning looking and Sounding Guitar and playing as always. All the best, Cheers
Tom, thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes when you play I feel like I should burn all my guitars. I needed to hear that you think it's hard too. I have doubts, deep ones. I do help some of the young guys I know--used to be an assistant at Sigma Philly--I share that with my nephew and his pals. Some spirited times. The bit on the Jew's Harp--reminded of my gramps when he gave me one. I have true empathy for Marshall whacking his teeth with the thing. Those hillbillies could play. Gramps introduced me to Bill Monroe. Didn't get it when I was 7. I was into Hendrix and Blue Cheer. The love you possess keeps showing up. Merci beaucoup Monsieur. I like your Jim Brown pic, and thanks for showing Unitas. Vintage football rules.
Hey Tom, looks like your percentage of picking winners keeps getting better, very nice purchase....Bravo and Cheers!!!
Dammit man! Congrats Tom,u deserve that axe,look forward to some home skoolin out of that one! Good on ya sir!!!
After playing guitars for many years you know when you get a good one and I believe sir you have a good one. Loved this unboxing!
Very nice new / old guitar Tom. You seem to be happy with it so that's a win !
I miss my 61. Fantastic guitar, but couldn't ever get it in tune properly and eventually sold it.
Beautiful guitar Tom. That Music City bridge makes all the difference.👌
Let's see if this one becomes a keeper.🍻🤙
Man, the acoustic ring on that thing. That's a sweet guitar.
Happy new old killer SG Special, Uncle Larry. It has The Sound. Seems by how it got played, that you agree. 👍
Awesome SG Uncle Larry! Man, I’m reminded of ol’ Leslie West with that resonant midrange sustainnnnn.
Got a 63 SG special with a bigsby recently and good lord it’s my favorite guitar by such a ridiculous margin. My first proper ‘golden age’ guitar. Pulls notes straight from the soul and I can’t help but feel the power of Zal in it as well. All my research for buying it was done rewatching your special and junior episodes a million times over! Thank you UL 🍻
Wow…unbelievable. This guitar obviously helped emote massive inspiration as you played. It was a gift to us getting to listen and experience it. Thanks so much, Tom!
I was hoping you were unboxing an Esteban guitar, but a 61 SG Special is pretty good too! Man, what a sound!
Man that thing has a voice to it. Makes me want to track down a good one. Thank you for all you do man. I really appreciate the Forgotten Gear series idea. I'm sure there are a ton of things in your garage that need to be shared. Ebo knows..... 😆
Dam, in tears it sounds so beautiful....
This is the first unboxing video i have ever been anxious / interested in watching... Did not disappoint..
What a beautiful guitar, played by a great artist!
Larry, I've been practicing Tattoo by what's their name for open mic, and finally felt good about it when I watched you three months ago play it for a second and say "What's that song?" I yelled the answer, Larry, but not so loud you could hear me all the way back 3 months ago. Hope you're doing as well as you look, good Sir
This is a return to home base for you my dear uncle. Your first vintage guitar was a chopped up 65 SG special eh?
Hello Tom, you saved my day. What a great guitar and shure, you can play it!!!
Sweeeet!!! I noticed a bit of "Tattoo" there by The Who, a favorite of mine. Great axe!
sound so good Tom ! I need one .
What a wonderful sounding guitar, and those frets didn't seem to be holding you back at all. Congrats!
I love the guitar, but the real hero might be the corded drill in the beginning. It never lets you down, never says to wait a while until it recharges...it just goes and goes and goes.
