As a 7 string player (26.5 scale) I’m in love with this Gibson, that’s just awesome. They need to make more guitars like this where they take a risk cause man it’s just so cool
I agree. You would think a 7 string baritone les paul standard would be obvious. 24 frets...obvious. nope. That's why this guitar is so valuable! It makes too much sense lol
@@toemasmeems I was gonna say that the fact that it's also a blacked out fingerboard is probably very attractive. I have a gibson supreme with no inlays and it's sick. Gibson loves to come up w stupid stuff and ignore the good stuff when they actually stumble upon it. Basically, what im saying is that we should work at gibson
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist yes we can have two lines of guitars the actual “traditional” and an actual “modern” not just a black guitar and call if modern Lolol
@@toemasmeems the irony is they have the gibson high performance and even a gibson modern les paul. How about a gibson modern thats 7 strings, ebony fretboard w no inlays, 27 inch scale, and all normal appointments. Give it fluence or emgs standard and black out all the hardware. Voila. Metal!!!!!!
I'm a big guy and my number one complaint is that my Les Paul looks cool on most guitarists but on me it's tiny. I always wished they made a bigger one.
There is a part of me who wants to run this thing through some crunchy ass digital distortion and pump out the heaviest doom/stoner rock riffs. The kinda riffs that move mountains and permanently contort your face.
its amazin that no family or friends have revealed who buckethead is. i know hes had to have his guitars worked on somethin. were a week away from 2023. ppl cant hold a cup of water
Everyone was playing the LesPaul at one point when Buckethead got his signature and before him the Justin Hawkins limited production one was pretty wild. The rumour was the buckethead pickups were based on Air series Dimarzios of some kind? If however you love exotic inlay materials, the Justin Hawkins Les Paul will make you lose your mind. Justin also had a rare seashell custom shop Les Paul they should have released, it had the coolest body carves. But I've got a feeling you have a Zakk Wydle and Adam Jones pair of Les Pauls hidden somewhere...
I got the pickups totally wrong. He has the 500t in that which is a ceramic pickup from Gibson. It's one of my favorites ever. I can't begin to tell you how awesome it sounds playing chords and getting overtones. I love those ceramic gibson pickups but they're love/hate. I think they sound better than the dimarzios
I don't think people know enough about the bridge and neck pickups of Gibson and PRS in comparison to the understanding of Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan pickups. Maybe, especially as you have so many guitars in maple/mahogany/rosewood, you could compare all the Gibson and PRS most famous bridge pickups with the most recognised 3rd party models? I know of the 500T, the Burstbucker but knowing their names doesn't put into context how they compare to say an EMG 81 or 85 in the bridge, Dimarzio D Acttivator X/ToneZone/Evo versus Duncan Dimebucker/JB/Nazgul. Everyone roughly understandings the hearts and souls of those pickups and comparing them to the best of Gibson/PRS OEM pickups would be something not done before...@@TheNeuroticGuitarist
@ianyoung8392 I have been doing that dude, take a peak at some of my shootouts. I have a les paul one w the 57s against the 490/498 vs the 57+ and a PRS one with the 85/15 vs the 85/15s vs the T and B. There's still a lot more to do, but I've been doing that! Working on a Gibson one of the bust bucker pros vs the probucker 1 and 2s! Rock on! 🤘 thank you for watching. Please subscribe and join the madness. 🙌
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist awesome news, I hope you do some AB comparisons so people hear the generation differences. So 50's versus 60's all the way to now. But all in Les Paul/Singlecut shaped guitars as the control factor. I don't know how many generations of Gibson pickups there are tbh. But 50's original pafs compared to a Dimarzio 36th Anniversary. 60's/70's (Bill Lawrence influenced pickups?) versus other modernised paf like the SD JB and the Dimarzio SD. 80's EMG 81/85, Bill Lawrence L500XL and Dimarzio PAF Pro. 90's Dimarzio Tone Zone, PRS Dragons, Suhr pickups. 2000's Duncan Dimebucker, Dimarzio Crunchlab, PRS Tremonti, Duncan Invader. 2010's - present. Bare knuckle Nailbombs, Dimarzio D Activator X, Duncan Omega. If you have a collection of guitars that can reflect a similar timeline of tone for fat sounding pickups for fat mahogany Les Paul/Singlecut guitars that would be very interesting to me. It's the comparison of the brands and styles I like the most. In that list you could weave the popular Gibson and PRS pickups I'm not so familiar with (as well as otherwise brands). Wave forms in the video would make it very sexy as you change amps and pickups. I would never dream of suggesting something like this to anyone except you actually have the resources. Signature bridge and neck pickups compared is also something that could be really cool. Slash, Zakk, Mustaine, Tremonti, Hetfield, Malmsteen, Eric Johnson, Vai, Bettencourt... All very interesting tones when comparing just bridge or neck pickups. Those are just examples but having the recipe of mahogany, maple cap and rosewood fretboard means you have a very strong control factor when making videos with lots of guitars. Most videos have pickups in lots of different guitars whereas your singlecut/Les Paul collection blows that away, blue ocean strategy my G.
I'm lucky enough to have one, bought new. It's the same body size as my Ibanez 335 copy. The other unreal thing is Buckethead only uses it in standard E tuning. Live anyways.
the bass scale is bigger than a baritone guitar, a baritone guitar can go up to 774 mm and a bass is usually 864 mm (remembering that scale = bridge until nut lenght) so technically the bass is still bigger, BUT les pauls have that HUGE body hence making it dissappear, just to clear that becausa that image haunted me because i have a monster 6 string bass and i could not imagine a guitar being bigger than that haha PS: is there anyway u can give us the scale lenght of that buck guitar? my friend wanna build one
It's 27 inches! Longer than my shortscale bass but def not a full blown monster 6 string! Check out the demo I just posted where in triple tracking with it!
Release the huntsman spiders, give 'em all lil' Gibson SG Baritones, and send them to Buckethead's next show...to join their eldritch master in burying the audience alive under The Wall of Horrifying Sound. Then again, that's probably already been featured on one of his video compilations that I haven't seen yet... Any survivors who scored shaky phone vids with audio other than screams, upload ASAP.
Thanks for watching Anne and being one of maybe 5 women that have ever commented on my site! Happy new year and please subscribe and join the madness 🙌
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist I sure will! A bit late but happy new year too :) I have to say it is now impossible to look at buckethead's hands without visualizing huntsman spider lol
@@anneshepard tell me that's not spot on? I remember meeting him in 99 and being taken aback by his humongous hands. Like...giant...huntsmen...spiders 😐
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist Yea not all of them are any good but some of them are some of the best stuff I’ve ever heard. And not all shred either, Blues to mellow stuff to metal to weird. Some gems in there
@@Skwid-Lives I'm different in that I'd rather him hold back like prince or evh and kinda cryptically release stuff, but im the guy w 6k unreleased recordings. He's amazing and I 100% agree for the reasons u mentioned. There are way more proficient shredders, he has a mojo that's just completely unique
You def want to use heavier strings because it's longer so if you use 10s they'll seem like 8s. I think I put 11-52 and tuned it to c#...I like the feel of 9s so that is about what it feels like when playing 11s on a 27 inch tuned to c#. Hope that helps brother 🤘🤘
Well thats got to be my fave so far. What a beast! Was that really a snow white guitar to begin with!?!? The ex smoker in me says, "oh my..." The self destructive rocker in me says, "oh fuck YES! Who's pinched my lighter?" What a random feature having a mute button. let alone 2 of them. Truly inspired bucket atari madness (great Les C impression btw :-) So I have a question; what crazy gadget/geeky, too many button/switch optioned guitar do you have? Ugly can be mighty perty...
Bucketheads guitars were stolen about when this was made? Is that his actual guitar??? Like it would be aged and have “tan lines” on the white where his arm rested. He toured with a guitar like that. Not accusing anyone of anything, I just know someone sold them on the 2nd hand market. So anyone could have one or them. He posted that he had 10 of his most important guitars in life stolen. One or two were bought by fans that recognized them and then returned them. Would be cool, kind of, if that is/was his actual personal Gibson Les Paul.
Hey thanks for the Reply!!! I agree, its a horrible situation for Bucket. Anyway, I LOVE the that the Buckethead standards get, the yellowing, and smoke stains. Way cooler than the satin white studio version. Anyway thanks for the Reply, and sharing that guitar. All the hanging guitars look sweet!

1:14 "He is like Zakk Wylde´s hand plus another hand", LOL, this video just cracks me up everytime. 🤣😂😅 The guitar looks great, and - being big - seems small when the Bucket his ripping on it!
I don’t even play but I loved this video. And I get huntsmans in my house all the time …it will never NOT terrify me to my very core they are huge and FAST!!! Just like Big B!!!!
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist lmao yes those recluses are bloody awful too they freak me out. I’ll tell you a quick story about a huntsman. When I was about ten I woke up to a huge guy ON MY FACE ..I can still remember feeling it’s legs moving across my face..have you ever screamed silently? I have . Sometimes they are so big that when they run down walls ( and they love to do that ) you can literally hear their legs hitting the wall as they go down..now that’s fucked.
@@keepclearofthemoors8886 woah, dude...I had the same friggin experience with....wait for it...a camel spider in the Jordan desert. Yup, I stayed overnight in the Jordanian desert and woke up with one on my neck and cheek. Had to have been 9 inches. So yes, yes, silent screams followed by very real screams. Ugh, wow, that's not cool. But the thing that scares me the absolute most by you is the friggin duck billed platypus. What type of spawn of Satan is that evil thing?
@@bigrig4385 in this case I actually prefer the "patina." There's no reason to clean a guitar likes this for me. It's def in the finish. But she screams mojo, much different than buffing out the bad habits of someone else. This wasn't abused, just had cancer 😳
Hey 👋🏻 Benny hope all is well with you , your lady and your new pad / studio ! ( been so busy with work I haven’t had much time for anything else but I’ll be checking your channel again soon 👍🏻 in a few minutes actually. ) I’m a huge Buckethead fan and I listen to him for at least 6 hours a day at work and sometimes even way more if I’m working Overtime… Just to let you know As of this week Buckethead just released solo Pike album # 660 ! 😮 yeah that’s not a type o mistake! + the 150 or so regular ( not considered a pike albums), colab albums with other artists / bands and soundtrack albums as well ! 😄 as far as music he’s put out there … far as I know he has more music released than anyone who ever walked the earth 🌎 no one else is even remotely close! Not that I’ve ever heard of anyways. His Bucketheadland “ Pikes” ( solo experimental album/Ep’s , he just plays whatever he feels like recording and releases whatever he wants to on this series . Someone programs the drum tracks , but he plays all of the bass , rhythm and lead parts ( live I believe he just plays mostly the lead parts ) I’ve been having his “Pikes” in very heavy rotation for well over a decade and it’s flat out crazy! 🤪. And I’ve still only heard about 70% of it ! He really covers almost every style you can imagine. He always changes it up and the best part is you never know exactly what it’s gonna sound like. It could be funk bass and guitar or serene and mellow acoustic or a half hour electric Facemelter! Or sometimes many different styles combined. I can’t say enough about how insanely great his skills are, his imagination is endless. He releases about 4 pikes to sometimes 10 of them every week! ( when he isn’t touring) Sometimes I can barely keep up ! He’s a guitar killing machine that don’t stop ! And you ain’t kidding about them crazy ass huntsman spider fingers ! 😄 it’s simply astounding to watch him play in live videos! 😮 I always constantly have new music to listen to and he’s Absolutely Fk’n Awesome! 🪣🎸👑🤟🏻 You’ve probably heard his most popular songs like Soothsayer etc. so Check out some of ( to people that don’t normally listen to Buckethead I mean) lesser known ones I love _Pike 66 - Leave the Light On ( track 1- it’s awesome dude ! ) _Pike 274- Fourneau Cosmique _Pike 37 -Hollowed Out (track 6-Trading Post ) _Pike 26 -Worms for the Garden _Pike 119-Solar Sailcraft (track 2 -Flying Saucer) _Pike 51- Claymation Courtyard (track 1) some killer hybrid picking on this! Sounds wicked cool and 🤔I had no idea what the hell he was doing at first to get that sound! 😄 - Disintegration Mirrors ( track 2) _Pike 123-Scroll of Vegetable - track 1 - Nest Boxes _Pike 296 - Ghouls of the Graves ( track 1) - Star Serpent(track2) - Glass Mines (track3) These are just a few of the faster /shred style ones I like that most people probably haven’t heard , you’re a very busy dude so here’s some songs that you probably haven’t had time to hear yet , Godamn is he Freakin Faaast 😮 and smooth! I know it’s late and much like me… you’re probably awake doing music stuff! The best things always seem to happen after Midnight 🦇 for me anyways 😄 Happy Listening brother 🤜🏻🤛🏻😊.
@@minidyrus89 you ain't kidding. I remember when they were giving these things away for 850. Now add a 0 if not a few hundred on top of that. I'm thankful I was able to trade for mine, I'd never spend that on a guitar
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist Or alternatively you could get like an alpine white studio and just add the Buckethead specs on it (excluding the 27" scale and the removed inlays)
Yeah I think the 500 and 510. I don't know what Crack I was smoking. I read something on him and he used dimarzios in his jackson I'm pretty sure. I conflated two guitars
I have a studio and have played the shit out of it for about five years and its nowhere near as yellow as that thing! And i play in smokey rooms!!! Wow
Guitarist Buckethead should replace Sebastian Stan for the role of Tommy Lee. Besides Machine Gun Kelly looked exactly like the young Buckethead unmasked when he played Tommy Lee in The Dirt! 🎭🎨🥁🎸
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist well i have to disappoint you there are only three of these in the world one of them called coopwood was in a hard rock cafe and now no one knows where it is the other one was a double neck which either got sold or he still has it and the last one the kfc guitar no one knows what happened to it
@@Person-cv9dj Buckethead still has the KFC- Flying V he offered it up for sale about 4 months ago in about April of 2023 , I think the asking price was $250,000 but it was really used by him on Guns Chinese Democracy album and world tour , far as I know he still has it in his collection even though a bunch of his guitars were stolen that Jackson Custom body Baritone KFC-V wasn’t one wasn’t one of them that was taken.
I agree with you 100%. This is a very old episode. I haven't cursed in probably 1.5 years and when I have, which is extremely rarely, I bleep it out for dramatic intent.
@@ashwolf1977 the thing that shocked me is that I had been seeing those on Craigslist for years and 1. Had no idea how huge it was 2. And that it would so damn valuable. Glad I got my small mitts on such a big axe!
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist one of his greatest influences is michael jordan actually he even wrote two songs about him one is called jordan and the other is called jumpman
Stop with the jokes. Just stick with reviewing the guitar. Embarrassing attempts at humor. Also….incredibly annoying. You’re not funny. We know it. U know it.
@@TheNeuroticGuitaristBenny … Don’t listen to this dude , many of us like some humour with all things , the guitar and reviews are Awesome ! ( this one in particular , I absolutely must own one of these guitars in the future ! So cool and unique! 😎 I want this one more than any other Gibson I’ve ever seen ! ) And that’s just his singular opinion and I disagree 100% you are definitely a funny dude 😄👍🏻 he can go watch some boring ass dry cork sniffing reviews anytime , lots of them out there 😄
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist Someone should post a video of Buckethead putting on his Ethika boxers, pants, shirt, long dark curly wig, white mask, beanie hat, and bucket on his head. Buckethead will wear a thong and have short platinum blonde hair in the beginning of the video. After putting on his Ethika boxers, pants, and shirt, Buckethead will divide his short platinum blonde hair into sections and braid it and then put it into a wig cap. After putting on the wig cap, Buckethead will put on his long dark curly wig, white mask, beanie hat, and bucket on his head. Buckethead has short platinum blonde hair under his long dark curly wig. 🎭🎨🎹🥁🎸
If you can't understand my facetious humor then clearly it went over your head and I'm not for you. change the station and so long. it was fun while it lasted. not for me. but I hope for you. no I don't.
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist The nerve! 🤔 telling a guy what to do with his own guitars! Certainly gave that dude the what for ! Exactly as you should have ! Basically.. It’s my shit! I paid for it and I’ll do what I like with it ! Thanks for the concern… Bye ! Haha! 🤣
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist hey dude in all honesty I just discovered a video of Buckethead playing live at some folk festival. I was stunned. How is it possible I’ve never come across his brilliance before? What’s the name of the first song he plays in that mashup? He keeps tapping the kill switch and I want it in my library. Can you help? PS- Those spiders suck
