GIBSON SALE!!: bit.ly VIDEOS OF ALL GIBSONS ON SALE: bit.ly Site: bit.ly Greg Koch: bit.ly Check these bad boys out — some of the meanest and hardest hitting Les Paul’s you can find, and for under 00! Watch, and tell me that they don’t sound amazing! Brand: Gibson Model: Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute Top Wood: Maple Body Wood: Chambered Mahogany Neck Wood: Mahogany Neck Shape: 50′s Rounded Fingerboard: Baked Maple Fingerboard Radius: 12″ Inlays: Figured Acrylic Trapezoid Scale Length: 24.75″ Width at Nut: 1.695″ Frets: 22 Pickups: Open Coil 490R/498T Controls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-Way Selector Bridge: Nashville Tune-O-Matic Tailpiece: Stopbar Tuners: Vintage Knobs: Gold Top Hat Knobs with Chrome Inserts Pickguard: Aged Cream Case: Gigbag ~ Greg Koch ~ Hailing from the frigid wasteland of northern Wisconsin comes a beast the likes of which the world has never known. Greg Koch, a beast of both persona and guitar-mastery, couples his sickeningly magnetic personality with the guitar to create a style of playing that is both completely unique and deplorable at the same time. As a huge fan of the legendary Big Jim Hendricks Greg has taken all that is good and righteous about blues guitar and warped it into a ridiculously fantastic amalgamation of melodic defilement and mind-blowing creativity. Over the years Greg has shared the stage with everyone from Joe Bonamassa to Les Paul himself, never relenting, never ceasing to bring the ruckus.

Earlier this week, Dave Schneider was told by Delta Airlines he couldn’t carry on his 1963 Gibson ES-335 TD guitar on a flight to Detroit and had to check it in. But when he landed, he learned his guitar was had been crushed between a service elevator and loading dock at the gate. Delta offered Dave 00 for his 000 vintage guitar, which he declined. So Gibson came to the rescue by giving Dave a new ES-335 at the Gibson New York Showroom. “As soon as we saw the picture of the crushed guitar case and heard Dave’s story, we felt immense sympathy for him,” said Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz. “At Gibson we’re committed to music and those who love and appreciate their instruments. For musicians like Dave, instruments are practically members of their family. It was only right to replace his guitar, and we are happy to have him at our showroom.” Dave Schneider is the lead singer of The Zambonis and lead guitarist of a Jewish band called The LeeVees. He says he’s happy to be able to continue performing because of Gibson’s kindhearted gift. Website: www.gibson.com Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter: twitter.com

Just got one of these in vintage sun burst at it’s fantastic. The neck pickup w/ the volume rolled back a tad is very ES-335ish.

are the tuners shitty on this guitar? i see you checking your tuning after each play there. would you recommend changing the tuners?
January 27, 2013, 3:27 pmAlicia YellowLodge says:
son of Billy Gibbons
January 27, 2013, 3:55 pmEvens1 says:
Forget the guitar! This guy is a killer guitarist!
January 27, 2013, 4:48 pmtidiwinks says:
why are you always tuning it? surely it should stay in tune??
January 27, 2013, 5:15 pmbileth22 says:
Nice performance. The world needs more guys like you to demo the new guitars.
January 27, 2013, 5:19 pmOf course that is a double edge sword. You could probably make a five string, dumpster found guitar sing.
Benjamin Jayko says:
Awesome. Even though I’m a fender guy his is just really good of Gibson
January 27, 2013, 5:31 pmloquayrocks says:
I once travelled for 16 hours by train, ferry and bus rather than take the 50 minute flight because I didn’t trust the airline with my SG!
January 27, 2013, 6:01 pmAlain Garcia says:
if that happened to me, i would cry…for a week… it was a treasure man! you should’ve had a flight case for it. You were lucky to have Gibson on your side
gotta love em’ man
January 27, 2013, 6:45 pmCameronWhiteMusic says:
I love you Gibson…
January 27, 2013, 7:17 pmMatt Bloomberg says:
I wish I was that lucky, I recently sold a Joe Perry boneyard signature Les Paul with bigsby to a guy in France (a 4k$ guitar), shipped inside its hard case protected with a hard cardboard box stuffed with bubble wrap. The courier service treated the guitar so carefully that they broke the headstock quite badly
I had to refund the buyer the full price, and now I’m fighting the delivery company to have them cover, at the very least, the repair at a gibson authorized repair service. This sucks.
January 27, 2013, 7:27 pmIago B says:
Really nice, Gibson – really, really nice.
January 27, 2013, 8:23 pmstratdave1 says:
What a great story. Thank you Gibson. You guys stepped up for this guy. Hope he still got the grand + ES335. Delta should pay more. You can replace new but not vintage.
January 27, 2013, 9:04 pmKeep Jammin! Enjoy Life!
MrJbot29 says:
This gives me faith in humanity, and proud to play a gibson (Well, epiphone, but one day it’ll be gibson). Thank you gibson for making the world a friendlier place for musicians!
January 27, 2013, 9:40 pmteerexness says:
Yes, he’s jewish.
January 27, 2013, 9:52 pmJazzEthics says:
I use a $268 dollar flight case, but Delta still cracked the head stock on one of my Les Pauls flying to a blues festival in Phoenix. You can’t lock them and the TSA guy was a real jerk. He wanted to know if it was a gun and i said “no” it was a guitar and to please handle it carefully. He shitty with me, took the case and threw it on top of all this other luggage right in front of me. When i got to Pheonix the head stock was cracked. they obviously opened it and broke it. Delta SUCKS!
January 27, 2013, 10:26 pmwoodpigeon66 says:
It was worth $10,000 :/ Made me feel ill even hearing about it, would’ve had a heart attack if it was mine!
January 27, 2013, 11:08 pmMickStoneMusic says:
2k? not a for vintage one. Shooting way low there.
January 27, 2013, 11:59 pmrayenantheny says:
So is this dude going to be famous next month?
January 28, 2013, 12:45 amdenosans says:
HI5 Gibson and to everyone that did the right thing. Way to go USA.
January 28, 2013, 1:01 amBrian Quast says:
Did they give him the guitar the same build year as the one that was destroyed?
January 28, 2013, 1:53 amEfxPedalBoards says:
Why would he take a ’63 ES335 on a flight without a flight case and not have it well insured? Crazy, he got lucky, it’s very generous of Gibson to step in and help out.
January 28, 2013, 2:16 am216trixie says:
Use a Flight Case.
January 28, 2013, 2:48 amJonathan Cabrales says:
Gibson, Corvettes & Freedom. Go USA
January 28, 2013, 3:12 amMrNellodee says:
The thing is guys. The cases that come with guitars aren’t built for flying. Get a real flight case built for flying if your going to take them on a plane
January 28, 2013, 4:09 amDrewAnti1960 says:
airlines suck,use a van and drive
January 28, 2013, 4:25 amSixStringHarmonies says:
Yea, I hate to be a cynic, but that’s what it amounts to. None of these “corporate humanitarian missions” ever occur quietly, and under the media’s radar. The subsequent Press Release makes sure of that.Free publicity is any company’s favorite kind. Meh.
January 28, 2013, 5:04 amCloud1377 says:
Oh man, i read about this guy. The airline only paid 1k for a nearly 2k guitar. I would’ve just fainted.
January 28, 2013, 5:06 amMichael Makowski says:
Good story! Kudos to Gibson USA.
January 28, 2013, 5:20 amTheJcarreno says:
I wish I had a Gibson guitar
January 28, 2013, 6:19 amFender Fan says:
Kudo’s to Gibson for their generosity, BUT loosing a 63 ES335 is till a $10K loss, thus why I don’t travel with older / vintage guitars through the airlines anymore.
