00:00today we are going to be discussing
00:01three different guitars that should be
00:02an absolute lockin to release in 2024
00:06these three guitars I'm sure you guys
00:08are just as excited to see release and
00:10hopefully get your hands on and maybe
00:11add one or multiple of these to your
00:15collections because all three of these
00:16guitars have been highly requested by
00:18the fans so 2024 is looking like it's
00:21going to be a really great year if
00:22you're a Foo Fighters Dave gr fan if
00:25you're a John fanti fan and a John Mayor
00:27fan with these three guitars
00:30so let's start off with the guitar that
00:32I am actually the most excited to see
00:34release and it is the epone Dave girl
00:37335 now Mark ignesi posted this shot
00:40you're seeing on your screen right now
00:41to his Instagram and if you just took a
00:43quick glance at it you'd think that
00:45there was nothing out of the ordinary
00:47but looking at the headstock it actually
00:49said epone on the Dave girl 335 that
00:52Dave was holding then when this image
00:54was actually colorized it ended up being
00:56a Gold version of Dave signature guitar
00:59so a lot of people started thinking oh
01:01wow we might be getting a Gold version
01:03in the epone format of the 335 fast
01:07forward to later in 2023 at Austin City
01:09Limits when the Foo Fighters performed
01:11and you actually saw Dave play quite a
01:12few songs with a pel and Blue version of
01:15the epone 335 which at that point kind
01:18of made it very real I think for a lot
01:21of people actually seeing Dave playing
01:23what we can only assume was a prototype
01:25of the ePhone DG 335 now the fact that
01:28we had Dave actually playing one live
01:31means I think we're very close to seeing
01:33an actual you know finalized product
01:35released to the public sometime this
01:37year I think that makes the most sense
01:39now kind of late in the year we saw Dave
01:41testing what is again assume a prototype
01:45now we're probably going to see this
01:46guitar actually release this year and I
01:48think for a lot of people this is very
01:50exciting because when the original run
01:51of those Dave girl 335s released the
01:54Gibson versions they were certainly not
01:56what you would call cheap and now on the
01:58resale collect Market they're pretty
02:00much absolutely unobtanium at this point
02:03they're they are just absurd the prices
02:05these guitars are going for so getting
02:07another production run of a more
02:09affordable version in an epone model is
02:11going to be something I think a lot of
02:12food Fighters fans have been waiting for
02:14for well over a decade at this point you
02:17know looking at the Prototype version of
02:19the epone DG 335 one thing that I think
02:22is really cool just due to the virtue of
02:24the design of Dave signature guitar is
02:27that when it comes to appone guitars as
02:29you guys know a lot of them normally
02:31don't have the exact same headstock as
02:33Gibbs and guitars like the Les Pauls for
02:34example right they just have a bit of a
02:37different headstock and for a lot of
02:39people that's a turnoff when you see
02:40that epone style headstock it just isn't
02:43the same as the Gibson model and a lot
02:45of people I know really don't like that
02:47however because Dave's signature guitar
02:51headstock you actually get the exact
02:54same headstock and the only difference
02:55is it says epone rather than Gibson so
02:58that is another plus when it comes to to
03:00this guitar I think a lot of people are
03:01going to be really excited about that
03:03fact as well I'm just curious now the
03:05only thing is I'm pretty sure we'll get
03:07a p and Blue version releasing the
03:09original prototype that we saw in Dave's
03:11hands and that photo that Mark aesia
03:13posted was gold so maybe we'll see two
03:16colors releasing for the epone model but
03:19that guitar I think is pretty much a
03:21guarantee that we'll see release in 2024
03:23and let me know in the comments down
03:25below if you're going to be picking one
03:26of those up I personally am hoping that
03:29the epone releasing might mean that we
03:31get a Gibson level run of these guitars
03:34as well if Dave's been working with
03:35Gibson again to develop a his epone
03:38version of the signature guitar maybe
03:40we'll get an all-white version of his
03:42Gibson model I think that'd be really
03:44cool though that said I thought maybe
03:47with the release of their last album it
03:49would maybe release around then and
03:51coincide with the release and come out
03:52at a bit of a maybe proper time but with
03:55Dave playing this guitar for a while now
03:57the allh one maybe we'll see a Gibson
03:59one Rel release as well because if a
04:00Gibson Dave girl 335 releases in all
04:03white I will for sure be picking that
04:04one up all right our second guitar is
04:07the John frante signature Stratocaster
04:10this is another guitar that Red Hot
04:11Chili Peppers fans John frante fans have
04:13been asking for really since the early
04:162000s and the talk kind of back then as
04:19far as I understand it is that Fender
04:20was in talks with Jon to maybe do one
04:22but he wasn't really interested in doing
04:24a signature Model Guitar at the time
04:27however as I'm sure you guys are all
04:28aware we seen John playing what is a
04:31replica of his 1962 Strat cter and if
04:35you're going to do a signature John for
04:36Shante guitar it would be a version of
04:39his 62 Strat that's what it would be now
04:42on The Limited love Return of the dream
04:44canteen tour we seen Jon playing this
04:46replica of his guitar and originally
04:48some people were wondering oh is this
04:50just a guitar that he got built so that
04:52he didn't have to play his actual 62 a
04:54lot and he just had a replica that he
04:56could play live if the guitar was
04:58starting to age a little bit poorly or
04:59get a little bit unplayable but I think
05:02just by virtue of the way the guitar
05:04looked from day one I was one of the few
05:06people I think who was saying this has
05:07to be a signature model because it
05:09doesn't look like something that was
05:10coming out from the Fender Custom Shop
05:12The Relic whereare you could tell just
05:14wasn't that level it wasn't just that
05:17that finely detailed and it was very
05:19clearly something that was done by a
05:22manufacturer by like Fender it wasn't
05:24just natural Relic Weare it wasn't just
05:26a guitar that John happened to buy that
05:28was vintage or that Relic very similar
05:30to the 62 Stratocaster it was too close
05:32in the details to be anything but a
05:34replica and of course then the Mike
05:36McCree Stratocaster came out in late
05:392023 and I think for a lot of people
05:41that pretty much meant that okay a John
05:43Franti signature Stratocaster is very
05:45possible at this point because we're
05:47getting this Maiden Mexico version of
05:49Mike mccre Strat and The Relic Weare it
05:52looks very similar to the degree that in
05:55St if that makes sense the John fante's
05:57replica guitar that we've seen lots of
05:58images now of him playing The Relic Ware
06:00looks very much in line with the Mike
06:02mccre strats level from the made in
06:04Mexico kind of Relic Ware that you would
06:05get now as far as the details for
06:08potential John frante signature stratas
06:10which I really do genuinely believe that
06:12we are going to see come out to some
06:14point this year a price tag I'd expect
06:16to be just identical to the mik mccre at
06:19$1,900 features of being a Alder body
06:22with a roadworn lacquer finish which is
06:24going to be really great with the
06:25relicing that they've done to it and the
06:28other thing that could be really awesome
06:29is some specialized John fante pickups
06:32that are designed for this guitar so
06:35some unique pickups to go with this
06:37guitar as well which I think will be one
06:38of the special things about it because
06:40while John's guitar is a 62 stratas and
06:43you could really get any 62 Strat
06:45inspired guitar that's Sunburst and you
06:48pretty much have a John for Shante
06:49signature Strat at that point getting
06:51some more unique pickups that were
06:52designed specifically for this guitar
06:55could be a really great selling point
06:57and of course the guitar just being
06:58relied to to look like John's Strat as
07:01well but this is another guitar that I
07:02think at this point we've seen him
07:03playing a lot it's the only thing that
07:05makes sense it being a kind of prototype
07:08or pre-production model of his upcoming
07:10signature Strater I personally don't
07:13think Jon's the kind of person who would
07:14ever get a reled copy of his signature
07:19or like his 62 Strat you guys know what
07:20I'm saying I don't think Jon's the kind
07:21of person would ever get one to then
07:24play that guitar live and not use his 62
07:28I feel like if the 62 really had become
07:29unplayable John would just go out and
07:31get another vintage Strat that he really
07:33liked and then started playing that live
07:35instead and we've already seen him
07:36starting to play a few different strats
07:38now in the past couple years on tour so
07:41it's possible that the 62 might starting
07:43to be getting old and a little bit tired
07:46but I just think this really is a
07:48pre-production prototype that we've been
07:50seeing John playing in all these
07:51promotional images as well so I think
07:53that's what we're going to see in 2024
07:56okay our third and final guitar is one
07:57that I think at least a lot of you guys
07:59who are subscribed to my YouTube channel
08:01are probably the most excited to see
08:03come out and it is a PRS silver sky in
08:06that beautiful matte black kind of
08:08charcoal finish that we've seen John
08:10been playing on the sawrock tour as well
08:12as during the solo tour actually before
08:16I get into that H okay sorry about that
08:19guys I was getting so warm wearing that
08:20he and I'm just way more comfortable
08:23wearing this nice t-shirt you know it's
08:25kind of in a cool faded washow black
08:27color way actually it's from alph Lade I
08:29like it a lot um anyways this charcoal
08:32silver sky again I think is another
08:34guitar that is everything but a
08:36guarantee for 2024 here when you think
08:39of the other kind of main color finish
08:42silver Skies that we've seen John
08:43playing being mock sand the satin mock
08:46sand and also the Roxy pink all of those
08:48colors have actually released at some
08:50point later we've seen John playing the
08:52MOX sand silver skies for a very long
08:54time then sure enough they release same
08:57thing with Roxy pink we see that as kind
08:59of of the promotional guitar for a lot
09:01of the sawrock stuff and then it
09:04releases so this charcoal color white I
09:06think is just going to follow that same
09:08Trend at least up until this point we
09:10haven't had a guitar a silver sky that's
09:12been finished in unique color that
09:13hasn't released to the public we haven't
09:15had one of those colors where John's
09:17actually never released it yet sure
09:19there's been guitars like the shadow
09:20prototype for example but that was a
09:22very oneoff thing never a finish on a
09:25silver sky that John's played more than
09:26a couple of shows we haven't seen
09:28release at released even the all-white
09:30silver sky only was played a couple of
09:32shows and then never released so it
09:34would be weird at this point an off
09:36Trend to see a silver sky finish that
09:38John's played for really two tours now
09:41that wouldn't get released to us so just
09:43following that Trend I think that's why
09:45this guitar is just an absolute
09:47guarantee to come out I'd be very
09:48shocked at this point if it didn't come
09:50out hopefully maybe some updates to the
09:52specifications as well possibly we know
09:55the silver Skies kind have had some
09:56tweaks here and there over the years
09:58maybe some SL slightly different pickups
10:00as well but I'm really excited to see
10:02this guitar and I think it really is one
10:03of the best finishes on a silver sky
10:06ever and I think you guys can all agree
10:07with me on that one I think for a lot of
10:09you guys ever since we saw JN bring out
10:11the charcoal finish silver sky at the
10:13plum show that very first kind of
10:15opening night of the sawrock tour that's
10:18a guitar a lot of us have been really
10:20dying for and I was super excited to
10:22hopefully see this guitar release as
10:23well so I think a lot of you guys will
10:26be probably picking this up if it
10:27releases and if you will be let me know
10:29again in the comments down below if this
10:31is a silver sky you've been waiting for
10:32and kind of hoping releases or if it's
10:34going to be another silver sky you add
10:36to your collection let me know in the
10:37comments down below it be really
10:39interesting to see how many of you guys
10:40actually plan on picking this guitar up
10:42if it of course in fact releases but all
10:44three of these guitars like I've said
10:45there's a lot of evidence to at least
10:47highly suggest and hope that they
10:50release at least in my opinion though I
10:52think I think there's enough evidence
10:54here to see all three of these guitars
10:55releasing probably sometime this year
10:58and just the fact that we have a new
11:00year now these are three guitars I'm
11:01just really excited to see you guys get
11:03your hands on guitars that a lot of
11:05people have really been wanting and it's
11:07just exciting to have a lot of cool
11:09things to look forward to this year so
