Did you see Paul played the lost bass at the O2 the other day? They replaced the tuner-- nooooo! I wonder if they knew the history!! Poor George's guitar, hahaha

Beautiful work

Hello. Your version was very good.Can you deliver this song only with instruments as a karaoke version without vocal? I can pay. Regards from Norway.

The Tenny fell off the back of a truck and was destroyed. Mal kept parts from the wrecked guitar and one of the tuners was temporarily used by Paul for his bass. That's how we know the Tenny we destroyed, not the Country Gent.

Paul was seen playing this bass at his Concert on December 19.

I owned one of these guitars and loved the way the single coils sounded, especially when playing slide and over driven The one drawback of the model is the pressure mounted bridge that moves very easily when using the Bigsby vibrato.

Great Gee Bee racer logo!…..I’m a guitar player and a race pilot. I was until the Reno Airraces went away…sad face emoji here….Ive been wanting a 24” scale guitar for the living room so I’m heading down the GC today to pickup a Mustang. I owned an original 65 when I was in HS but sold it in college…sad face emoji here too😂. I’ll follow your lead on the mods so thanks for providing all the info. The saddle screw info alone you provided will save me time. My wife like you is a huge Beatle fan…..And, I agree with you about the Rocketeer movie. I loved it.

Yeah. I'd be gutted if I paid to see a Jacky and The Strangers gig and those two showed up and ruined it.😂😂

Bro just made squire sound like POS the whole time

for what i know, george had two country gentelmen, the first one was gave it to mike of the liverpool's band the, fourmost, i think the guy died in 1966, so may the family still got it. i don't know what happened to the second one. about the tennesean it's probably that george had two, may one was destroyed in the motorway accident, but i'm pretty sure that the other one geroge gave it to ringo as a present. i think ringo sold a lot of his guitars and drums a few years ago in sothebys or christies., and that was one that was sold

Nick: I posted the Guitar Player magazine article that references your video on the BGC. I hope that's OK? Regards.

Cool project. I think it turned out great! I've never used staggered tuners, but I thought that their purpose was o eliminate the need for string trees? Am I mistaken?

Thanks for the great video Nick - it can only have been the Tennessean that was smashed, due to the replacement tuner on Paul's Hofner...but George had two near identical Gretsch Country Gentlemans. George said he gave one to friend Colin Manley of the Remo Four, and it's reported that Ringo may have the other one.

Like your harmonies. A nice cover version.

It's SO frustrating that we don't have the 1966 NME concert filmed. For me it would have been the most interesting, At least we have Germany and Japan!

Hendrix actually had a much worse tour schedule, zigzagging back and forth across the country. The Beatles also got paid, whereas Hendrix got ripped off a lot by his business managers. He made comparatively little money during his chaotic short career.

I had a sgt pepper poster i bought around 1985 i wish i still had it.

That does look fake

You are doing The Lord's work, Sir. WOW!

Super cool.

Hilarious! You are doing important work. Thank you , Sir.

どこの国の人か知りませんが アメリカ人の方ですか？ですか なかなかいいと思います。 私も最近 歌えるようになりました。 磨きかけたいと思います。

Maybe George Harrison gave John Lennon his breaking backer

Subscribed straight away, because that was so very good.

This was an enjoyable watch. Well done and thank you. ✌️

Fascinating.

Pro Tip: Lower the volume (or even eliminate) the fake Beatle loop while you're talking. Are we here to listen to what you have to say or to listen to fake Beatle "music"? FWIW, I'm in my 70s and not in my 80s but I doubt that a few pounds one way or the other wouldn't stress Paul. It's part of his brand, that's probably why he uses it. If all he cared about was the way his instrument sounds, he's rich enough to buy anything he wants.

Mustangs and jags are the best looking guitars. They’re super versatile and sound great too! Especially the ones with the double humbuckers

cool insights. thx

Great video. I want you to check out a Gibson J160E that was given to Bob Dylan by John Lennon, later Dylan sold it to Stevie Ray Vaughn's guitar tech (I don't want to misspell his name) because he thought that it brought back bad vibes since Lennon has already Passed in 1980. I think the Manny's J160e and the one gifted to Dylan by Lennon are the same guitars because they both have the black (ceramic, rosewood???) saddle and the heavily figured tortoise pickguard and heavily figured mother of pearl inlay on the 5th fret.

Wonderful

The more you looked deeper to Paul's life, the less sense the PID theory had become. Paul grown to drugs and the high art even during the making of Revolver, that influenced him and his mates to stopped touring and started experimenting new ideas, even their own looks. Paul spend time with his family in the late '66 which is why the media made up stories like The Beatles secretly broke up or even Paul is secretly hiding his death or something. But, in reality, all of them are doing their own shit in 66. You could see Paul's moustache slowly growing in Sep '66, before the alleged "death" even occurred. John was busy with his flopped film, George was learning to play the sitar, and Ringo spend time with Maureen. This theory was nonsense since if Paul did died, the rest of The Beatles wouldn't busy do other plans.

Thanks! True Detective Work! I hadn't known this. A bit I learned from Paul McCartney's big biography: Paul started growing a mustache to cover a temporary scar he got when he fell off a moped from going too slow/watching scenery crossing the picturesque peninsula across the Mersey from Liverpool. A peninsula where Paul bought a house overlooking Wales for his dad and step mum. The house has a hidden garage under it: Paul would drive his Aston Martin DB6 up from London to visit Dad; he'd hide-park it under the house. Paul wrote "Blackbird" there.

Paul also said that they weren't especially well made.

“It was a fake mustache”

Wonderful.

My white whales are the Cavern gig from '62 (with Pete Best on drums) that Paul owns. Apparently good quality and they do things like "If You Have To Make A Fool Out Of Somebody". I doubt we'll ever hear it since Ringo isn't on it. I also want to hear the complete 1960 rehearsals with early versions of "Ask Me Why" and "When I'm 64". Obviously the lost "Summertime" acetate, the first time the four Beatles recorded together, but I seriously doubt that will ever turn up.. (and definitely "Carnival Of Light")

NICE!!

"Mer Zee" it's Pronounced "Mer Zee" after the Mersey(Mer Zee) River. Your NOT a Legit Beatles Fan if you don't know that. The proper pronunciation is in the Song by Gerry and the Pacemakers, "Ferry Cross the Mersey". Come On!!!!

There is one picture in 1967 where John looks like Groucho Marx

Thank Christ you didn't go after the 'Paul is dead' rubbish! Yes, pre-PhotoShop, airbrushing was a mischievous art. One of the classics was an apprentice who airbrushed the wedding ring off a major celebrity who'd just got married, and it was on a front page magazine.

Moron how many people do you know that had a camera in the 60s

I was cracking up with laughter when I noticed this but couldn't figure out why it was done. Now it makes sense!

Scott Baio reading a list of names of people who don't like Trump is not proof of anything. It's literally just Scott Baio saying a bunch of names. Proof, y'all.

I hope with this video and the detailed shots of the pick guard this guitar could possibly be located

That clown William is NOT Paul McCartney fully admitted by him for DECADES Memoir of Billy Shears...must read. Poor John and George

Hahahahahahha! So great.

I’m glad I found this channel, great work as always and can’t believe I never noticed this before. I have a full set of the reprints from the 70’s and never thought twice about the images but now that you pointed it out, some of those are hilariously bad! Lot’s of great photos otherwise, shame they had to go the fake route. And very weird that Brian Epstein or whoever wouldn’t supply the official fan mag with up to date photos.

HA HA HA !!!

0:37 imagine thinking that was the same person
