A Couple of our Customers were lucky enough to get on the super exclusive list to get one of the Gibson Custom Shop Greeny Les Pauls. With a 50k price tag and a trip to Nashville to meet KirK Hammett. Baxter and Jonathan talk to cool details of buying such a pricy guitar from Gibson.

I absolutely love this guitar. 50K, I couldn't do it. But I love it. And I think Kirk is a awesome. Glad he has the original and plays it live. Neat stuff guys. Thanks.
Not even if it came with a time machine for a blowjob from 1991 Jennifer Connelly.
Well, maybe…. but I'd probably re-sell the guitar.
Nifty replica.
How can any of these be on Reverb? I thought everyone has to sign a legal document stating they couldn't resell their guitar for x amount of years . . . and Gibson obviously knows which serial numbers are attached to each person who made the purchase. So how is that possible? Maybe they're fakes? I don't know who would open themselves to a lawsuit with Gibson when each purchaser had to sign a legal agreement . . . the flippers would never come out ahead if they got dragged into court. We all know Gibson will come after people, so who would be stupid enough to test that boundary immediately after getting the replica Greeny?
Not worth the price.
This was the video I was hoping we would get for this release. Thanks guys. Great work, and glad you got to play and approve of this model!
Ugh, no thanks. I wouldn't buy anything from Gibson right now, other than the Original Series SG, Explorer or Flying V. And once the prices of those instruments exceed $2k, they basically have nothing that makes a reasonable value proposition anymore. Someone will bring up inflation and say the prices are the same they always have been… but wages never rose with inflation for the reasons Marx stated. Quality of life declines, you don't buy $50k les pauls… sorry.
Great video guys. The whole experience package is interesting. Really makes you think twice about the price on the second hand market since the experience is not included.
Jesus dude, comb your goddamned hair. You look like Lindsey Buckingham's homeless brother. 🤣😂🤘 Why didn't they have Kirk and Tom Murphy call up each person who purchased one and have them hand the guitars out?
gee I dunno whats it like being a total moron doosh?
I would think, if i were to make a video about a guitar of this caliber, I might be able to wash and comb my hair.
That is some serious bed head dude. Just tacky. Maybe your mom could dress you next time. Or switch to radio.
Well Yeah, but, Not Even!🙄
Could you imagine the Quality of a Custom made, just for You, One of a kind 50K guitar from one of the Best Luthiers in the World.👍🥰
They can keep their meet and greet marketing BS!
Let's be honest, here. It's a 10 grand guitar. The other 40 grand went to getting Kirk Hammett to spend an evening with the people who bought 'em.
Without Peter it's just another marketing ploy for mugs. I don't think Gibson even tryed to clone it while it was in Peter's possession. Sorry if I've upset people but buyer beware. 👍🥃Respect to you fellas.
Cannot see the second upper strap button hole – poor replica 😃
Is Gibson nuts?
I want to meet the 50 geniuses that will drop $50k for a non vintage instrument…..non vintage collectors are like model train set enthusiasts….they can’t play like a bad ass or do anything that can’t be measured by cash so these hobbies become symbols that allow them to feel what it might have been like to be as good at anything as Peter green was at music.
It’s cool, darn cool even. But it’s not $50,000 cool, I’d give it $5-8000 cool.
The price on these reflects Gibson’s careful way of selling it’s name more than anything else, and I’m not that kind of fanboy.
people can say and do what they want but paying 50k for any guitar is just pure insanity to me.
I nearly choked on my breakfast over the description of the buyer experience for this FIFTY K purchase- Free first class flight to Nashville, top-class accommodations, but you have to arrange your cab from the airport? That’s the most Gibson thing ever…
should be half that price since it doesnt make any sound
I'm sure one of these days they'll have an Epiphone version,,based on this one's price,, probably be the one even regular Gibson customers can afford lol, maybe the Epiphone experience is with Dr Epiphone at a pizza hut and you get to meet kirk's mom in a Starbucks when you get your guitar
Does polarity really matter? If baxter sticks his fingers in a european outlet does his hair go the other way?
To the person(s) who loaned their Greeny to the guys thank you so much, it is an inrcedible guitar that was made to be played! Enjoy guys!
As long people will pay 20,000 more than the first owner of these limited super expensive guitars they will sell out every time. A guy who can spend 50k on a guitar knowing that he can get his money back plus 10-20k in a couple weeks ( Adam Jones model anyone ) . It’s a no risk investment especially as hot as the market is now. You know several of these 50 will be flipped. I think most everyday players would be impressed sitting in the room with a touring musician even if you’re not into Kirk, I bet he can play circles around most people. You don’t tour the world going on 40 years without developing some serious chops.
Beautiful guitar. Price insane but whatever I guess.
This guitar is the living proof of how different people buy guitars for different reasons.
Well, let’s buckle up for the 2024 prices…
Saw one of these for sale at 70k. Thought there was something in place to stop that.
50,000.00? for a guitar!? that's why I stopped supporting Gibson long ago! I make my own guitars now.😁
I know the history of this guitar, but for the kids, maybe tell the story so they know why it is iconic.
I own a Page #1.
I wonder how many people bought this solely to play it?🤔🤔
Always entertaining and insightful 🍻👊🏽🤘🏽
Let's be straight. They don't fly you out "1st class", you fly yourself out, because you've already paid DOUBLE for every little "perk".
I imagine most of these were bought as an investment and will never be played, pretty cool "art piece" I guess if you have the means.
i can tell you whats hapening in the world , usa is making money with black rock domination and the rest of the world is dying poorly after making billions of iphones.
Get what you can gibson..Most $ 800 to $1200 guitars are just as good if not better..
Why were you allowed one and poor Trogly got knocked back? Apparently you need more than 50k
Am sure they made a (paul kossoff)
les paul aswell am not sure
There is no way that guitar sounds like 50,000 dollar guitar also I just love fender that much more yea get a Jimmy Page Mexican made telecaster we know this is not gonna be your main guitar!🎸🤯🔫
Gary Moore “pretty amazing” ja, pretty amazing
How is this guitar any different apart from the relic job…than any other Murphy Lab R9 historic reissue with a Bazillion board that's less than half the price of this thing.
I am SO jealous you guys have one of those things there…..such a cool thing to have. Classic tone in a cooler body that's a bit sturdier. Would love to have a couple of them in my collection. Maybe you'd consider selling it to me or trading for 2 of mine that are super similar?
I'm talking about the Shure SM56 btw….not sure if I made the clear
Would love to see a comparison between this one and the Dr Nitro recreation.
Gibson are world class at taking the piss. 50k for a new guitar is insane and anyone who bought one of these clearly has more money than sense. On a side note, the guitar should never have been sold by Moore, he was supposed to give it back to Peter if he ever decided he didn't want it any more. Once people stop buying these overpriced ornaments then hopefully Gibson can die the slow death they deserve for their crappy QC and insane pricing strategy.
How many they makin'? Ill buy them all.😃 Um,, why isn't it green?🤣
I was introduced, as it were, to the original by Gary Moore, who seemed very nice, after he'd done a gig at a London college and a couple pf pals and I had been invited to meet him. No, I didn't get to have a go.
I don’t get it guys… Unless it’s THE original, what in God’s name could make it worth the price of a new truck..? It’s truly gorgeous but… just no… Unless it has alien otherworldly electronics and wood from Eden…. lol Nope. That being said, thanks for showing us and giving us the info on it. Great show as always. Respects fellas. Thank you! Cheers!❤️😎🎸
Well, I watched HALF of this video. And aside from attempts to be funny and joking around there wasn't much talk or visual of this incredible guitar. Horrid video if you had clicked to check out the guitar. No thanks guys, try a different way because this format isn't gonna bring someone like me back to your channel, and I'm really middle of the road so to speak….
