Mark Agnesi – The Captain Meets

There's far more to Mark Agnesi than just that whole "play authentic" thing (you know what we're talking about). As the General Manager at Norman's Rare Guitars for almost a decade, Agnesi made his name presenting their popular 'Guitar of the Day' YouTube series; becoming a mainstay on their well-subscribed channel.

Head-hunted by Gibson in early 2019, Agnesi was appointed the company's Director of Brand Experience; shortly after Gibson unveiled its back-to-basics, ‘Core Collection’ guitar lineup. As a life-long fan of Gibson, Mark's passion for the brand was evident when he spoke with The Captain back in early October.

Discussing his personal collection of instruments and the difficult decision to relocate to Nashville from Los Angeles, Mark also promised plenty of exciting new products from Gibson. But Mark was particularly excited about the gear that Epiphone will be launching in early 2020. We'll have to wait until the NAMM Show to see what they have in store!
