@NatterNet Do you know where we can buy downloads of the early albums? (Colma, Electric Tears, Giant Robot, etc.)

[@Ric_1985]

All Bucket fans are happy this guitar is in good hands.

[@DeadVoidzzz999]

It's legendary at this point. 🤟🤟

[@MarighnamaniMr]

The guitar has definitely found the perfect home. Absolutely fantastic playing!! I'm sure Buckethead must've smiled seeing this video. Keep it up!!!

[@Hold_me_forever]

I would love it to see Buckethead smiling

[@kellywilson8440]

Your worthy of owning this guitar great playing bro , I bet BH is smiling right now !

[@gregc8483]

Dude i seen him play that guitar before live! You scored! You deserve this and I am happy for you! 😁🙌

[@edwardcawley5796]

I am so happy for the fan who got that guitar. You could see at the end he’s a true fan and he was doing the material justice. Props to you my brother it isn’t easy. I hope Buckethead is in good health. I think he is just not materialistic. He is a guitar player, not a collector. And mad respect as always to Natter.

[@djh.]

Great video, great story, great playing 👍

[@uncleremus64]

Congrats dude. You hit the lottery. Playing Buckethead's actual guitar in front of a Zappa lic. plate and wearing a Residents shirt. You the man!!!!

[@mj7465]

Thank you NatterNet and thanks to the Gentleman who bought Buckethead's guitar. It was great to see it and hear you play it!!

[@tammymarshall429]

I'm so happy for you, rock on friend.

[@bassinbilliards6279]

Seriously thank you so much for all your uploads on his music. It literally keeps me going every week & month at work or driving home. Finding my favorite parts or songs and listening on repeat is happiness.

[@VintageValium]

Natter, thanks for putting this together. My friends and I went to a show where this guitar was used. Congrats on the purchase too! And thanks for playing Big Sur Moon on it, that is literally the song that got hooked on the Bucket.

[@NatterNet]

Thank you, friend. I'm not the one who purchased it though, that was Chris, the guy in the vid. Big Sur Moon is indeed glorious!

[@VintageValium]

@@NatterNet Meant to say congrats to Chris on the purchase and the cover of Big Sur Moon. Just re-read what I wrote hah

[@BrianFosterdrummer]

Great playing brother the guitar has gone to the right person.

[@PetParadiseVB]

This makes me a little emotional. Seen him play this. Always wanted one. So nice to see it end up in someone’s hands that cherishes it and will play it.

[@MalcolmTroon]

This was the 1st "unboxing" video I have ever watched! I loved it!

[@corvuslaeus9540]

Beautiful guitar and bit of history! Good to see it is good hands mate, that was an excellent rendition of Big Sur Moon. I'm excited to have an action figure he gave me, can only imagine how you feel. Congrats

[@Wantar]

If I'll be able to come in UK, getting in touch with this true fan and visiting him just to see he guitar with my own eyes and maybe play the Soothsayer intro if I wash my hands in chicken blood first, lol, that's on my list. Lol. If Brian sees this video, he will be happy. Fantastic playing.

[@exmetal7918]

I ordered 2 CDs from his website…after several mails…no respond… Its over a year now and my money is gone. Great service from you goat

[@NatterNet]

Yep, unfortunately the service from Bucketheadpikes (not for Chris) has been horrendous , especially the last few years and has pretty much caused irreversible damage (people who will never buy again/stopped being fans because of it). It's pretty much the only occasion where you can say Buckethead has sadly let his fans down. Hopefully it can all be resolved one day, but its not looking promising, especially when he continues to add to the backlog.

[@exmetal7918]

@@NatterNet true. I was always hyped for new CD‘s or LP‘s….but since he just took my money and nerver respond. Never business again. If you do something like that, less is more. It has grown over his head.

[@DDRFIVE]

Well played,great video one of my favorites now. Excellent playing! Thank you.

[@ASqdrnDA]

I had a wide grin watching Chris play the guitar. Great guitar with history finding a new home in the right hands.

[@csaiz8847]

What an awesome video! I would be blown away just to hold one of Buckethead's guitars one day. Thank you once again Natternet for sharing another great video and another great story.

[@Paulywarp]

After hearing you with it at the end there I can see it went to the right person. That sounded very impressive.

[@ness8802]

Amazing, lucky you

[@miguelramosgtr]

Been a Slash fan for all of my life, but the amount of respect I have for Buckethead is HUGE, thank you Natter, I love this channel, and props to the buyer, he plays awesome, cheers from México!

[@Maddreck]

Congratulations on your purchase. You own a piece of real history. I am happy and proud of you. I wouldn’t even have the heart to restring it or ever alter it. Love ya man! Aghhh!!! So happy for you. Bucket is such a great man.

[@NatterNet]

Well, thanks...but Im just waiting for you to watch the video now and realize it wasn't me who bought it, it was someone else. 😆

[@gr769er9]

Wow what an incredible guitar!! Happy someone got it that will appreciate it.

[@russelljonesOu812]

Thank you for sharing, it’s caring! Rock on my brother!

[@extrasuperpowr]

So glad to see that it's clearly in good hands. This guy will treat it with the respect it deserves, which is to be shredded on, and not just mounted in a glass case.

[@dm3917]

What an epic acquirement ! I imagine he practices more than he ever has, wonderful vid, Woo !

[@kantooza]

Dude, u are SO lucky ✊ Stay on this way 👍

[@rock-n-rollmusicandmore6560]

Hearing Buckethead's guitar and sound, That is just crazy. Be well BH and NN

[@patriciaquinapallo]

This is a Santo Grial of guitars all.

[@barbaraallen2624]

You are an amazing guitarist and storyteller. You should be hosting a show on tv on the history of rock. Oooh- School of Rock? Props to you.

[@ttg5165]

Cristal sound! Divine

[@tomlaw8821]

I love this so much! I'm very happy for you.

[@tigerbambi1845]

Great video, thanks Natternet! Congratulations to the new owner. I have two questions: 1. Do you hide the guitar from the cleaning lady? 2. Does the guitar play all Bucketsongs by itself? 😂

[@hightreestess]

Congrats Natter!!! 🙌🏻💙 This guitar has for sure seen some thangs, been in the greatest of hands & has traveled around the world! Good to see what you look & sound like too! That guitar looks good on ya! 🤩 & You sound great! Great job! I am living vicariously through you in this exciting feeling of having your hands on a personal Bucket classic! Neato fella! Neato! 🥳🎉🎊🪣🎸🎊🎉🥳

[@NatterNet]

Thanks for all those kind words.... but the person isn't me 😆 otherwise I'd be thanking myself at 6:44 The buyer was Chris from the UK, his social media links are in the description

[@Bucketheadland1]

Congrats 👊💪 Woo!!

[@LeoLucas360]

wow man thats incredible!

[@colincampbell3849]

Feels good to see this piece of history go to someone who knows how much it's worth.

[@sentinelmania]

Wonderful 😍👌🏻

[@530jeffro]

Selling some guitars might help alleviate some other pressures. It has been a great couple months, music-wise. Hopefully he is enjoying things and doing what he wants to do.

[@Mr.SnailTalk]

Shweet!!

[@farshidkarimi6786]

You are one lucky guy. The guitar of cosmic guitarist

[@music.martin.g]

Hey this is great! Congrats! Do you know what pickups are installed in this particular guitar?

[@vectragt2310]

WHAT A BEAST!!! Congrats! Do they sell stuff regularly?

[@egobrain]

a man with a residents shirt is definitely worthy of owning this guitar

[@jennyk1014]

❤❤❤

[@AafkeArt]

Waw. Amazing. I too love the grime! That guitar should never get cleaned!

[@pasqualeporpora]

Great playing!!! Superb tone too! Do you know which brand of pickups are in the guitar?

[@NatterNet]

Gibsons 496R in the neck (rhythm) position, and a hot 500T in the bridge (lead) position

[@Conformist138]

Very cool, but also makes me sad. Why is he selling his coolest guitars now? I hope it's because he actually wants them to go to people who will appreciate them instead of rotting in a storage unit, but I always fear artists give up prized items like this when they need money.

[@LRM5195]

Does he still live in California? Might not be a bad idea to get out of there and live somewhere cheap

[@toddtyoung]

I was thinking the same thing. Makes me worried that he might be struggling financially. I sure hope not. That would be heartbreaking, after all he’s done for us-his fans.

[@Conformist138]

@toddtyoung it really would be a bummer. If I were a multi-millionaire, I'd be tempted to ask if he'd take an offer to not sell them.

[@slimhanson5792]

Damn! this dude has some cash will you adopt me?? Hey congrats on whoever you are what a thrill....give it lots of TLC.

[@WildbillTheWizard]

Plot twist : that's really Buckethead incognito and it's like when Stephen King wrote as Richard Bachman. Jk, this jewel went to the right guy! Congrats man!

[@stevenkatz679]

Unreal😮

[@p1st0ls44]

beautiful guitar :o

[@Nathan_Left4DeadGuru]

Nice! 😎👍

[@marcthacker4walls]

Nice!!!

[@iSUB4SUB]

OMG !! you are just as great as BH himself in my eyes ❤

[@ChrisSamuel1729]

Natternet! Quick question/request. You know how in the Young Buckethead DVD, there is a wristwatch Buckethead wears in a number of the segments. For example when he plays for his close family and friends in a backyard. After this period , Bucket isn’t ever seen again wearing a wristwatch. Any ideas about what the make and model of the wristwatch might be? Is there any reason why Bucket stopped wearing a watch. If you feel it’s a topic that is research and video worthy, I love to see what you find. Thanks!

[@NatterNet]

Well thats certainly a different question not a clue on the make/model though, the footage is so old and grainy that it could be anything. Im guessing a wristwatch didn't really suit the Buckethead 'look'. It kinda looks like a black casio from the 80s, I remember them being popular because they had a stopwatch, Im pretty sure I had one just for that reason 😁

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

This is amazing!!!

[@marlonmarquez4798]

If anyone appreciaties this guitar, it would be you. Glad for you man.

[@NatterNet]

Thanks, but I didn't buy it, I'm not Chris.

[@Thulgore]

I didn't realize how large that the guitar actually is.

[@LRM5195]

I wonder how many of these he has. Everyone’s is complaining he’s selling his guitars but how do we know he doesn’t have multiple versions of this?

[@NatterNet]

Indeed, he has at least another 4, 2 of which are studios. I think he's just getting rid of guitars that he doesn't plan on playing again (for whatever reason). Shedding skin, who knows. Just like the last guitar sale vid we covered, I've no idea why he doesn't provide the history of them (unless he doesn't know), if he provided the history of the guitar like I did in this vid it would've fetched a lot more money. Provenance = money

[@andrewpardue3324]

He did have some stolen months ago but a fan named Tyler seen one of them for sale , he bought it and returned it to our Hero ! Bucket even wrote him a song “Thank you Tyler” 😊. I think there are still a few of the stolen ones out there yet to be found. He would always need at least one to play on stage and a backup for live gigs so I’m sure Buckethead does have some multiples of the Les Paul signature models ( but only 1 of the KFC Gibson custom flying V used during the Guns ‘N Roses tour ) as he always plays the same exact signature Buckethead baritone Gibson Les Pauls ( they don’t manufacture any new ones though , Gibson needs to get Buckethead a new signature deal and Re issue new models this guitar 🎸🤘🏻ASAP!!! Really Not Kidding Gibson! Please do it! and even also do a cheaper Epiphone baritone model as well. Especially considering it’s one of the only baritone models Gibson ever made! ) but Chris really did luck out having Bucket send him this particular guitar! this is without question ( special thanks to NatterNet 🪄 for that ❤) a very heavily stage and tour used one that’s also in a number videos ! Super Cool dude 😎

[@satchbucket2612]

Great guitar sleuthing,@@NatterNet! It's appears to be different than the one that I played - for 3 seconds ;o). Hoping he comes back to town soon! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6Smo2iNgrqXa7M

What is the background music at the beginning? Great story
