Three killer songs, a cool guitar and a great player 🎸🔥🔥

These videos always make me want to pick up my guitar and play...everyday! Thank you!!

Continually amazed by Mark’s playing. So many different styles and sounds. Truly inspiring. Thanks for all the hard work Mark and Jen. I’m sure these vids are sometimes the LAST thing you want to do at the end of the day. Norm give them both a raise already!

Hey Mark... as a guitar mogul I really love hearing all the information you give about models. I learn a lot and listen like a pupil at school. This is simply lovely. Cheers from Berlin!

Wow that's one of my favorites. It's beautiful and sounds even better.

Thanks for the shoutout, Mark and Jen! Love you guys!

The smile on Mark's face when it started feeding back made the whole video worth it!!

It’s rare that get here before Mike M.!!!

Always a pleasure to watch a master at work 😀

Finally, I've waited a long time to see this model on here. wonderful sleeper guitar

OMG. Super fine sound and playing!

Thank you thank you for the back story and the provenance on these guitars you play / adds so much weight to the vids 😎❤️

Awesome playing as always... fun to see Mark struggle with feedback ! !

I never got to hear blue on black for my b-day but it's all good lol I appreciate every episode you do I'll watch every one you do even the thumpin Thursdays I got every person in my family who plays a stringed instrument watching your videos so we'll be watching and listening just in case you happen to play it

Like so many great guitar players Mark plays not only with his hands, but with his face as well. Great stuff!

my first guitar- i was 12- 1973- my dad got it for me, and had a friend who played in a band get me sstaarted on it- then Nugent and his Byrdland helped! cool vid dude thank you! i love my gibson

Outstanding Mark! That box has a great sound.

Off to bed now waiting for Thumpin Thursday. We get the videos a day later. Keeping fingers crossed for a shout out Strataday for my 40th birthday. Watch every day. Huge fan. Thanks Mark and Jen.

Mark how did you learn so much about Guitars? I really enjoy the Guitar of the day schooling you give us, thanks and keep up the good work. Thank you too Jen.

Just blooming lovely!!

Wayyyyy cool guitar🎸 and even cooler classic tone from those p90s. Looked like Mark was actually having a good time! Thanks guys! Byeeee

Nice...love the explanation of the guitar model number. Seem to learn something every episode. Oh yeah, love the George T as well, well done again ......

Good job Mark and Jen

I played one of these in my local shop recently. Awesome unique guitars with their own mojo!

Mark, Brilliant as usual.

Very nice seeing one of these....enjoyed the songs fit the guitar 👍🏻

Fantastic playing Mark.

Gotta give it up to Mark, he's a killer guitar player

Love the throughly Good stuff, well done!

Freaking awesome !!!!!!!!!! Love this show!!

merry christmas mark n jen!! love the show, cheers from seattle!

I have the same version 125 TDC. Mine's from '65 with the chrome P90 pickup covers. It was a feedback monster. At first I stuck cardboard in the f holes then just relented and bought a new strat. This was back in '73. Talk about 2 ends of the guitar spectrum. Eventually sold the strat. Still have the 125.

Mark killing it with the playing today.

Great guitar and, my, the red and yellow colors of this sunburst look delicious! I just want to lick that guitar!

I'm in love what a guitar!!!!!

I had that exact same guitar. I was jamming out with Jerry Garcia and Abraham Lincon. Good times.

Wow that was cool ! Mark I will give you a case of beer to come play like that at my Christmas party ! That was awesome

Looks like you guys have a lot of fun in that back room

Kick ass playing Mark!

Sounds badass Mark! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I love me some Thorogood! Great playing Mr. Agnesi!

Mark killin' it ! Awesome !

Better really late than never? To hear those p90's? HELL YES! Rock On!

Dude!! I think that is the nastiest sounding guitar I’ve seen you do! Loved that!

That guitar is a beauty.

Greetings from Chile! I´m a big fan from southamerica!

Drooling over this one!!! :-)

I am so happy! I have that exact same guitar (not as clean though) and I gotta tell ya they are barn burners! On one of the videos on your site Joe Bonamassa talks about how important it is ti use the volume control and these guitars are a great example of that. I play more jazzy stuff and I rarely open the volume pot up all the way and I get a nice sort of Charlie Christian sound. But it sure is fun to open it up all the way and rattle the windows for a while. These are great guitars and they are generally the most inexpensive of the ES guitars. There also seem to be quite a few of them out there so they are a great chance to get a great vintage guitar for a reasonable price. Thank you so much for finally doing one they are my absolute favorite of the ES guitars and I have been waiting forever to see one on GOTD. FYI there are some 3/4 size ones out there that are really cute!

That was kick-ass slide stuff, bro! Good shootin', Jen!

Best video so far in GoD. Oh and nice camera word today Jen. Like

man that is one smoking guitar! i wish I could get on that for a few hours.

Great Job Mark!

Fun stuff Mr. Agnesi

That sounded exactly like the record on bad to the bone, great guitar! P90's are king!

my birthday is dec 14. a shout out would be cool. guitar of the day is my favorite part of the day

Representing some George Nice!!! as usual a beautiful piece of wood !!!

Great stuff. I have no real interest in Gibsons, but your videos are informative and entertaining. I do like the 335s.

You were freakin loving that Mark.

Plenty of big names come through the doors but nobody cooler than Mark and Jen.

Years ago I was just getting into G. Thorogood when SR Vaughn blew me away, but I always like George's gritty snarly sound with those P90's! Get one of these 125's and a LPJr. and you'll certainly have some weapons! Mark your playing's great!

Well played!

nice slide work Mark

My dream guitar!

"Oh, yeah" says it all. Very nice.

Right up my alley on this.i love my 59 es175 With p 90s

I love the boxy sounding click on the bass notes using the bridge PU.

Killer set Mark.

That's it. My number 1 dream guitar right there."Yeeeeeeeeeeah with nobody else..."

I love to hate on Mark just because but damn.... he is sooo ridiculously talented!

Just got one of those bad boys...super clean

Mark is amazing…

1. I Zip Alone 2. Zip it on Over 3. Bad to the Zip That guitar is Georgeous.

Please please do more B.C. Rich guitars!!!!!!! I know you probably don’t get that many but please do them whenever you get them in. I’m still drooling over that 10 string Bich from awhile back.

Good stuff all the way around!

Move it on over!!!! Nasty guitar love it!!!!

I don’t think I’m alone when I say that I want a Mark Agnesi montage of him getting caught using a snark tuner

#bringbackweirdasswednesdayMarkandJen

This thing is so fucking gorgeous I can't get over it. Seriously, LOOK AT IT!!! My absolute dream guitar. Fuck every other guitar in the world lol.

Is there a song that you don’t know? Fantastic playing and great information on axe backgrounds Mark! Jen, as always, great videography. Do you think you could do Rory Gallagher tribute Strat? Hard to believe it’s 20 years gone by already.

Hey Mark! I don't know when you guys are going on break for the holidays but my birthday is Dec 28th. Thus, I would like to be entertained; I want you to play jazz on a fretless bass for Thumpin' Thursday. Or depending on the day, give me a killer maple-boarded strat. Thanks for providing the giggles and finger tickles. Edit: if you want to keep the respect of the viewers, I'd also be fine with you playing Bennie and the Jets for me.

love it!

Hey Mark! Can you do The Cure acoustic this coming Friday? My bestfriend Joe is in the hospital. He’s a big fan of Guitar of the day and massive fan of The Cure. I hope you can play a couple of songs for him while recovering. He’d greatly appreciate it plus The Cure are also celebrating their 40 years anniversary. It would be a fitting tribute for them and for my friend Joe. Thanks a lot!

Nice, very nice

Damn, Mark can just about anything.

Authentic playing, right down to the roughed up brassie. Agnesi and The Cleveland Destroyers.

DAMN AGNESI!!! I Know you can play but MAN OH MAN what a SWEET JOB on ' I drink alone' . Also your choice with the Slide, using metal instead of Glass, much more of that tinny sound. You should DEFINITELY work more Lead Riffs into your Demos. HI JEN..............🎸💚

Sick!

I can dig it.

Awesome

Nice Gibson!

Mark where do you get your leather jackets

When I was born in 1957 my dad celebrated by going out and buying a Gibson Es125T tobacco burst. It never left the house and when he passed on......yep, I took it to my house. Lucky me. Huh?

Very very nice

Awesome 175-TDC. Great playing Mark! Think I'll go have one bourbon, a double scotch, and think I'll skip the beer! Cheers!

Bought this guitar when I was 12 for $500 in 1986. Still have it 100% bone stock exactly like this... minus that strap button. Thank you for not playing jazz. Lol

What is the point of soundholes if the pickups are electric?

Duuuudddee thats the thorogood sound agnesi! #WeirdAssWednesday #WednESday #61ES125

Love it...Do a v please

Oh, hell yes!
