[@Nathan-dd2uy]

My girlfriend says you guys are like, the Top Gear of guitars. What a compliment.

[@jamesmaxwell374]

What a perfect sum up.

[@ukcryptolondonbased2953]

Was that a compliment 9 years ago?

[@bsdraven]

This is why I couldn't own my own store. Every day I would walk out with a guitar and just be like yeah this is mine.

[@orlock20]

bsdraven The secret is having two testing rooms. One for you and one for everyone else.

[@jackstanislow8051]

Ive got a 2011 LP Traditional and a 2013 American Strat. I love my Les Paul, and my strat but there is just something about the Les Paul that sets it aside from all other guitars. I cant put my finger on it but both Strats and Les Pauls are legends of guitars.

[@hankrocks7504]

+bsdraven Yeah I hear that.. I can't walk into a music store without walking out with something :P

[@moskii-kb8un]

+Jack Stanislow I have the same as you- traditional plus 2011..absolutely luv it..but I will tell you that for 1/3 price I bought a used 1993 studio w/ ebony fretboard and I luv it equally..I actually like the feel of the ebony board a bit more, it's a harder , more dense wood, but they are both great axes..cheers..btw my trad is ice tea burst absolutely gorgeous what's yours?

[@dhallbreakfast6396]

moskii 1958 iced tea burst is beautiful

[@tobortine]

Chappers is like a kid buying a bike, look Dad, I can pull wheelies on this one. Whereas the Captain is like an adult choosing a new guitar. Makes me smile.

[@Justanotherguy43]

That wall of Les Pauls is like guitar porn.

[@jevenz_9152]

And a fuck you to fender users lol

[@JohnnyMrHattersmith]

And seeing that Dutchburst Paul, oh good lord it was like seeing Playmate of the Year.

[@Rain593]

Not to me... I don't like Les Pauls :p

[@arshdhange8770]

+Ryan Pawelko Well, I don't like you

[@Rain593]

I love guitars. I've been pretty serious about it since I was 14. I just have never liked Les Pauls. They don't feel right to me. I don't enjoy playing them.

[@jevenz_9152]

It makes me laugh when rob is shredding fuck out of that les Paul with the amp all serious in the zone then the camera cuts to lee sat playing with No amp completely calm thinking everything through

[@loosabway3400]

Better shred than dead. Captain plays like my 6 year old daughter

[@zerohourdrift]

Loosa Bway captain plays some killer licks.... shredding is boring. Literally every shred player sounds exactly the same. Every blues player has a different spin on things

[@zerohourdrift]

Brandon Ivey you must be watching some obscure channels because every God damn channel I’ve seen that has a decent number of subs is all pretty much shredding shit

[@loosabway3400]

@@zerohourdrift My 6 year old daughter is better though. He is mechanical and uncreative

[@zerohourdrift]

Brandon Ivey nothing wrong with the blues.... in fact, many of your precious metal players started out on blues lmao.

[@CwGuitar01]

Watching this video again after 5 years of guitar And it’s now maybe the biggest part of my life, majorly because of these videos with chapters and the captain. It’s amazing to see my own progression from beginner to (without sounding cocky) a pretty good blues player to now playing jazz and also the progression of Andertons. Rob and Lee have both done so much for my life without even knowing it and I’ll always remember this video and the slash one as well as many others. I love this haha

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Same here my new friend. I started watching Rob when he was less the 3K subs. Then when he started working with Lee I was hooked on both. Today is Sept 16 2023. I still go back and rewatch these. Something comforting about it. All the goofy stuff they used to pull, all the Christmas videos, the "Ritchie Sambuka and Wilderbeest...all those memories are good ones.

[@powerboon2k]

When I read comments like this it makes me hate KDH even more for ruining KZbin guitar culture.

[@CaptAnderton]

Just so you guys know - I'm calling my new Les Paul "Lola". If you follow me on Facebook, you'll know why.

[@mini0705]

My hamster was called that!

[@orangesss777]

hey capt why do you always play the same rift

[@PherotoneStudios]

That final scene of walking out of Andertons with a new guitar brought back so much nostalgia. I remember taking each guitar back to the car and making sure it was strapped in safely, taking it home and sneaking it in while no-one was looking, rearranging all the other guitars to try and disguise that there was anything new. Oh the memories

[@Junebu99ie]

Every freaking time I watch you all's videos, I always feel like buying a Les Paul!

[@pupperemeritus9189]

money , its a gas , grab that cash with both hands and make a stash . only then you can get these guitars lolol

[@arlo_court]

Lol money!

[@colourlessbluethings]

Everyone watching this should buy a Les Paul each.

[@pupperemeritus9189]

colourlessbluethings I already bought one. Epiphone Les Paul 100 tho

[@colourlessbluethings]

Nice. If I ever get myself a new guitar it will be an Epiphone. But I'd probably go for a 335.

[@SuperMarlinsfan]

wish my guitar shop had a wall of les pauls like that

[@papasqueezeable]

It's always so sad to see that many awesome guitars and knowing you won't be able to play them... Because you're left-handed.

[@TheTyler701]

I'm left handed but I am SO happy that I play guitar right handed. I feel so bad for left handed guitarists. And left handed guitars just don't look right either

[@JobForAMaxboy]

I'm left handed, but decided to learn guitar right handed. Can't understand why someone would pick up a left handed guitar. If you're a beginner, playing it the other way round will make no difference!

[@papasqueezeable]

Max Oak Actually it does make a difference. I couldn't do shit with a right handed guitar when I had to decide. So maybe I could not play as decent as I do now if I picked up a righty in the first place. Sucks to be lefty I guess.

[@macpac22]

I cant even hold a guitar properly right handed. Im totally geared to left handed. I picked up an LPJ 2013 on the cheap. Hope to upgrade to a Standard when Gibson decide to help us lefties with new models.

[@mahtijaakkoproductions8451]

Max Oak Exactly, i'm left handed too, but i play the right way. If you think about it, left hand actually does the harder work when playing right handed.

[@CaptAnderton]

Been sitting on this secret for a week or two now - its been tough!! Both Rob & I can't wait to start using our new guitars in videos soon. Gotta love a bit of GAS & NGD!!

[@JackBertagnin]

i was expecting a 58 from you, but you could also have tried a 57! :)

[@AndrewZeleno1]

Cap, don't pretend that you like that crap Gibson U.S.A. Standard. Only your Custom Shop reissue sounds great

[@dubster82]

I'm actually really bummed that you didn't get the aerosmith collectors choice and I think you will be too in hindsight

[@cmonsterz]

Congratz Lee and welcome to the Les Paul family! The Les Paul is such an amazing guitar...and it's tonal range...particularly the newer ones with the various pots and switching. I've had my current LP for several years now...and consider it a real slice of Heaven...

[@howabouthetruth2157]

On your statement of, and the carrying out of the old method of playing guitars UNPLUGGED to see which one excels, I say AMEN BROTHER! Back in 1990, I must have tried at least every other Les Paul for sale in central Florida, both new & used, and I finally spotted one that was "not for sale" behind the counter of a dealer/friend's music store. It needed pickups & tuners. I strong armed him into letting me try it anyway. SHAZAAM!!! That Les Paul Standard blew all the other ones away, and it was also one of the lighter ones in weight. After 5 minutes of a verbal beating, I finally talked him into selling it to me. Pickups & tuners replaced, and every guitarist IN central Florida wanted it!!! Sadly, I had to part with it years later, but it was & still is the finest sounding electric I've ever laid my hands on. And I truly believe: The guitar that sings, resonates & sustains the best unplugged, will be the guitar to beat when plugged in. Great video. And congrats on your new "FATE" Paul. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go wipe the drool off my chin & shirt.

[@4572dk]

0:00 this is still the best intro that chappers has used

[@absence7445]

The Captain's clean blues tone was damn near perfect

[@Barod52]

I can't believe this was five years ago already. I've watched this video easily more than any other video they've done and can still remember when it came out.

[@thebigb3ard]

Wish you guys had time enough to make videos every day. really enjoyed making a cup o tea and a roll up and sitting watching this vid while a storm rages outside my flat in Gourock scotland. Felt all excited for you both cause I love that feeling of buying a guitar, as we all do.

[@CaptAnderton]

Glad you still have power!!

[@thebigb3ard]

CaptAnderton it's early yet hehe. Lights keep flickering. Hope you both enjoy your guitars. You'll need to do a follow up video in a month or so, once you've played them in and get a jam on, maybe with that drum buddy pedal ting Mr Chapman was demoing. Thanks for the reply btw :-)

[@JackBrianDixon]

CaptAnderton why is the intro tuned down a half step?

[@CountryHouseGent]

Best of luck to you up there. The Met Office describes it as a Storm Bomb !!! I'm on the edge of it down here in Cumbria and the wind's pretty bad, can't imagine what the experience is like in Scotland.

[@thebigb3ard]

CountryHouseGent to be honest it's pretty much like this all the time up here. :-) now I've said that though I'll probably wake up with no roof. As long as my family and my wooden family are unharmed then I'll be alright.

[@Joe-hl2ts]

[@alexalexander227]

[@jakemguitarist]

Allidois Goofoff I really hope you’re joking.

[@hariboproductions]

Malcolm Boyd like Samson of the guitar world 😂

[@ApeLikeCreature]

Andertons, the store, is set-up properly, so that players can have easy access to the guitars. Our Guitar Center in Bucks County PA, while having a very nice staff, is set-up horribly. All the decent guitars are 20 feet up in the air behind a desk. When I go into a guitar store, I want to be able to take my time, pick up the guitars and browse comfortably without begging to hold an instrument. I wish we had a store like this in my area. BTW, great video!

[@monkeyking32]

It was like that in ny as well, but their newest store in times sq is more accessible and everything is within reach. I went les paul shopping between two guitar centers and felt more comfortable with the ground level store haha

[@wiseguy9202]

GC is also a lot bigger both in inventory and physical size. Most of our Andertons are in shops where space is limited.

[@EnterJustice]

We have a small mom & pop music shop where I live where they do the same. The owner just doesn't trust you holding their instruments. When I was a teen the owner basically leered at me while I was trying some 150,- piece of crap. Now that I have some money to spend I won't be going there.

[@RoachDoggJr2112]

I'm not familiar with the counties in PA, but there's a store in Bel Air, Harford County, MD, called Musicland. Unfortunately it's mostly Fenders (boring!), but they have a good selection of pricey stuff on the floor. And the real primo stuff is still just one employee and a ladder a way. They're great people, too. If it's not too far, I'd really suggest a visit.

[@callumhayes9733]

Wow, small world. My Grandparents lived in Jamison for two decades before moving back to the UK. Owned a specialised printing company in Ivyland. Sold it for a few million, few yews later the group that bought it had run it into the ground. Guy let his sons run it, and tjat was certainly the mistake. Real shame to have seen it go, but reading your comment 5 years later brought back some happy memories.

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

Every guitar players wet dream. And at the same time, the single biggest annoyance to all of us poor guitar players who could never afford one of these. And now that these are 30% more expensive, even more outside of the reach of the average guitar player. Sad. Makes me sad. I'd love to have 10 of these;-) Maybe one day....in my dreams.

[@TheCoolpara]

*They're not 30% more expensive. Chappers and Lee explained this in yesterdays Les Paul video (the 50 minute one) Lee said the price went up to a max of 10% :-)

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

Yes, but in the last couple of years these have gone up considerably more than 10%. Go read the articles all about how much Gibson's now are compared to just a couple of years ago. The better part of 30%. Foe example, the Les Paul Studio that for many years, hovered around the $1000 mark, now sits on the thick end of $1500. No mini-tune system either. Just a bone stock Studio. That's a big jump in price. And it's not happened gradually. It was from one year to the next, here in Canada and the US. Everyone has raised prices. $1500 for a guitar is insane for most average players. Its crazy to pay that much for a guitar. You can buy a decent used car for the price of a Standard now. $4K?? That's crazy. Who can afford that stuff now? I can't. I know most guys can't. Doesn't stop us from wanting them. Just puts them slight further out of our reach. I'm just jealous, I don't own a guitar shop and have many thousands to simply pluck one from the wall and take it home. But hey, they worked hard, and deserve it. I'm just jealous. That's all;-)

[@Killadey]

If feel your pain matey, but remember, there is no substitute for talent. If you can play well, then it will more than make up the difference between an Epi LP with (pickup upgrades) and a 'real' LP. Rock on!

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

Yeah totally. I agree completely. No question, but it doesn't make me want one any less;-) Just like I'll never own a Ferrari, I'll never own a $10000 custom shop... Just is what it is. But it seems crazy to me that they've taken their entry point guitars and put them out of the reach of regular players. I've bought and owned 5 or 6 different Studio's. All around $1000. But $1500...plus tax...makes these prohibitively expensive. And I'm actually a Squier guy. I own 8 of them. 1 Les Paul and that's it. All my guitars with the exception of the LP were no more than $100 used. Few trick parts and set up...and they become awesome. My last 5 or 6 videos is all about how good cheap guitars can be. Just doesn't take away my ache to have this sort of stuff;-)

[@AtulLasrado]

Killadey It's not just for the tone. It's the feeling of owning a real Gibson Les Paul, a piece of music history, it's just something special. I'm sure there are sub $1000 guitars that could out-Les Paul a real one, but it still wouldn't feel the same. I don't know if i'll ever be able to afford one, but i sure as hell want one in my collection.

[@MusoraMedia]

So great, watched the whole thing. Just bought a Les Paul Standard Light. :)

[@IronOrePickaxe]

Hey Nate :)

[@Victimesty]

Good job, sir! I wanted the 2014 one too, but the neck wasn´t doing that for me.

[@KSSTUDIOS]

Nate! I bought mine for your Blues class! LP Special with P90's for some Bluesy goodness.

[@AndrewZeleno1]

I don't understand how can you compare Custom Shop Reissue 58 with correct juicy tone and aweful empty sounding with dense and sharp wood U.S.A. Standard. I'm outta here!

[@AndrewZeleno1]

onemorebrando you are scared or offended? I said a good advise to people who can be cheated by commercials. They will go and buy cheap Gibson with weight relief and even won't be able to realize that that is not true Gibson with 'that' sound. If you don't like that I come across with different point of view than you have, try not to be so scared and take any opinion. I am super honest and trying to help people and get this type of comment from guys like you. Who is trying to say the same things like others scared to say something own. Do you think I stop telling the truth only because of that you call me jerk or troll or something? I'm gonna do the same even often from now on

[@hunterdavis35]

Absolutely. I come back to this for nostalgia.

[@tonecontrol]

I think it is really awesome that these guys plug different brands on the show. It would be so boring to see just Chapman guitars being played. It also gives me confidence that you guys don't want to bullshit us, you are not telling us that Chapman guitars are the best in the world, but you are being honest about their great quality for the price you are paying. I hope you are doing great with your guitars btw. Lovely Les Pauls, I wish I can afford one, I would get the gold top.

[@ronaldmaday]

This is still one of my favorite videos on KZbin. Just some bros hanging out, enjoying the start of the holidays, and buying some amazing guitars. :)

[@nickjones8542]

I just bought my first LP this week (from Andertons) Still got a huge smile - although sadly I can't quite make it sound like these guys do, my skill level is still not where I'd like it.... Lots of practice required! I went for the 2014 standard (in the mad ocean water perimeter finish) rather than the 2015 due to the neck profile and some of the 2015 changes weren't really my bag... It's got to be said there is nothing that can quite replicate that LP sound... I'm now a complete addict!

[@diegocorrales844]

That's awesome man! Congrats!

[@mdanthony18]

For the Captain to love the thick necks on the Les Pauls so much, you'd think he would have more Gibson Les Pauls than Fenders.

[@texasmusicfan03]

melissa anthony Fender offers a wider variety of necks, including thick necks. Though their guitars have more thinner necks than LP, but I can almost guarantee you due to his playing style, he would prefer Fender and their single coils over LP and their HB pickups.

[@mouloudo]

And? Some strats have some baseball bat necks

[@phucu1125]

[@pickleslz9919]

Yeah, the "theory of diminishing returns" video summs it up very good!

[@greganwintour3367]

Once you try one you'll understand. I'm lucky enough to have a couple of beauties, and I always get that little smile when I pick one up. PRS and Gibson Custom Shop. Wish my playing deserved them...

[@brutalbeetle]

Gregan Wintour I have tried them. I played two gibsons worth over 2 grand and I still don't feel they were much better than my $250 ESP LTD EC-256 except the pickups which will cost me $90 to upgrade to a BKP.

[@greganwintour3367]

Diminishing in quality? According to who? You? Played a good Gibson LP lately? Leaves your Korean or wherever copy in the dust. More expensive? Of course, it's made in the US.Sorry, Infinitely better. No doubt

[@brutalbeetle]

Gregan Wintour Lol no it doesn't leave my vietnamese copy in the dust, the only thing better is the pickups which are a $200 upgrade. Sorry I'm not some gibson fanboy that has to go shit posting on youtube to justify sinking 3 grand on a hunk of mahogany.

[@alexwright1464]

Why is the intro slowed down and the pitch lowered?

[@xMcCarthee]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@boynamedlen]

I've heard it enough times to notice it was lowered.

[@alexwright1464]

Lennart N Yeah, same here.

[@AtulLasrado]

Sounds ominous compared to the usual one. Almost like something bad is gonna happen.

[@1106Winter]

Every time Lee is playing I get goosebumps. What an amazing tone and feel. Perfect!

[@Ghonosyphlaids]

You guys are such a wicked combo. My favourite videos are where you meander about the gear like youre a couple of buddies getting to test new toys out together. Even getting specs, it feels like youre filling in a friend while theyre noodling away rather than a sales pitch. By far the best method on the 'tube. Keep up the great work!

[@DoctorEnigma01]

Not crazy about the rim bursts, the original cherry sunburst always looks gorgeous

[@kylemorgan7525]

The name for lee's guitar should be "squeeze my dirty lemon" as a reference to Robert Plant and the burst

If so, I will have saved $350 and gotten a gorgeous Vintage Sunburst guitar with no weight relief and a binding versus a slightly used, boring black Studio. I'll report back!

If anyone spots this, I ended up selling the Epiphone and I bought a Gibson 2013 70's Tribute, and wow it plays so much better than the Epiphone did. I'm genuinely in love with it. I have played Standards and Customs at shops and I still like mine better. If you're a decent player, you'll know it when you've found the right instrument.

This video inspired me to go out and buy my very first Les Paul for my 20th year of playing guitar. I chose the Custom shop Axcess model (video of it on my channel). Couldn't be happier what a guitar! Thanks guys.

[@KokopelliSG]

Thus video made me happy. I lived the high five at the end. My friend and I once walked into a pawn shop when we first started playing. We both found some pretty sweet (but cheap) guitars and walked out with them.

[@CaptAnderton]

The great thing about this video is that is just underlines that there are no right or wrongs when it comes to guitar designs. There are only personal opinions & personal preferences, and no one is "right" or "wrong" just because they prefer one design or another. Unless you like Floyd Rose trems - then you're wrong (just kidding!)

[@stubhead]

+LetThereBeLoud I didn't look ahead to see if either one bought a "relic'd" guitar, but if they did it may save me some money. Because the only vote I have on this is with my wallet, and I will NEVER, EVER buy a guitar from: A) A company so pandering and pathetic so as to MAKE relic'd guitars, or: B) A sales person, owner or such as to actually BUY or recommend that crap. Sorry, Fender! Sorry Gibson! Used is the only way I can go with these. So idiots can PRETEND to be old juke-joint bloozmen. Fuckin' PATHETIC. People WILL say that the neck wear is "more comfortable"... meaning, the new necks are SHAPED WRONG. Fine! If you have to turn a guitar into a piece of shit to make it comfortable... uhhh.....

You should turn this show into the Top Gear of guitars. Just an idea. Use the format of what Top Gear use. Have guests. Travel places- Historical guitars, music etc.; Do what James May, Clarkson and Hammond do in Top Gear, just with guitars as the theme. You two guys are awesome and i really think your personalities are perfect for a Top-Gear esk show. You already kinda do it with your review/fun events style format. You should just make the episodes longer and more premium. Think of some grand ideas and do them! For example as an idea, Travel to tennessee and discover the historical aspects of the music industry there. In between (like top gear), demo new guitars like you do now, in your studio (like top gear). Have Guests. The more your show grows, you will get more prestige guests. It will really make this show exciting and move towards the mainstream. There is such a huge audience for this! This could be the hub for guitarists, the main place to go to get the latest news in the guitar industry but in an entertaining way! where you can kick back and relax. You guys basically have it, i just think you need to conceptualise the shows a bit more. Organise the format a bit. Do a series. "Cap and Chappers: Series 1, episode 3"?? You can always keep doing what you're doing in between shows, but the main thing for your channel should be this show in my opinion. You already have the community and all the right vibes that come with it, so build it. Make a format for these shows. Take these "low budget youtube shows" and turn them into full TV programs. It not like you don't have the money or brains between you. Think, theres such a huge audience for this show! You already have the fun factor between you both, you have the products to sell. With some good thinking, you guys could make something great! I just can't wait to see "Cap and Chappers" in Texas or something, shooting guitars or whatever (Lol, i dont have a good idea on hand. If i think of one, i'll comment it on here.). Cap and Chappers Build a Guitar? Cap and Chappers Find the worlds most bizarre guitars-Most expensive-Most beautiful. IDK. But some greater minds than my own could probably think of some great things!! Just imagine watching Cap and Chappers play acoustically together in like a really beautiful place on earth, say Yosemte in california. OMG! It would be beautiful to watch. Or! Even in a really beautiful place in the UK! PLay guitar at Stone Henge ot something :) I think you both already have a strong connection when you play and so being in Yosemite or somewhere nice or musically rich would just bring out some great music for this show. if you record a simple acoustic session in a place like that, it would just be great TV! like imagine the different vibes that would come from your music! You could use it to promote Dorje too! Add live performances to it maybe. Have a weekly music feature/highlight where one of your favourite new artists play a ten minute set at the end (@ say 45:00in). give something to our music culture in the UK!! Ohh, the bigger better format would mean.. More viewers, a closer tv like direction heading towards the mainstream which means more customers for the shop, for your guitar company, chapman Guitars. More $$$ which in return can be pumped back into making this show bigger and better in everyway! Ps. "Cap and Chappers"

I got my first a little over a year ago. It took me several years of buying & trading, gradually upgrading to finally get it. 1998 Les Paul standard black with aged cream binding. Love it !

[@johnnywebb2652]

Gibson & Fender are Brands that have been wired into our brains since we were children watching Hendrix, Clapton & Page. Even the Beatles played them for god's sake! Guitarists are generally a very conservative bunch and we're still playing guitars designed by Les Paul & Leo Fender 60 years ago. Imagine if we were still driving cars that looked like 50's and 60's models. We have amp modelling, 600 effects, infinite availability of patches, computer recording, you don't even need a band anymore, you can record whole albums on your own and this is great - total creative freedom. But when it comes to our pride & joy, we still love the traditional shape, colours, tone and look. We also have great guitars by Ibanez, ESP/Ltd, Jackson & Schecter, to name a few, that have captured a good share of the market, but most of them are strat, LP, sg or tele shapes. All this tells me we have the iconic image of what a guitar should look and sound like and we're not gonna change - not in a hurry anyway. Go Captain & Chappers, cheers & goodwill from Oz.

[@IlSinistero]

agree with you! there are companies who tried different shapes etc, but most, not all, but most look weird. a shape I really like and that is not so common than the strat, tele, les paul or sg, is the jaguar/jazzmaster, to me they look very cool. only thing I'm not so traditionell about is the color of les pauls, I can't see all that sunburst, heritage burst etc no more, wine red or that "see through" blue, black etc I prefer, they look very nice.

[@johnnywebb2652]

Yes, the jaguar/jazzmaster shape looks cool in a retro way, like those pre-rock instrumental bands. Famously played by Kurt Cobain more recently (20 years ago!) My son bought a Dean razorback - now that screams Metal. I bought the wine red LP signature T last year, beautiful, awesome guitar - we're all suckers for name brands as I said before, but it was the first time I could afford a quality level Gibson. And call it ego, call it snob value, selfishness or just wanting something to love in my life (soap opera), it's great to play & look at. Like having a champion racehorse or a Ferrari in the drive - it's mine and I can take it for a run anytime I like. cheers.

[@IlSinistero]

johnnywebb congrats! and wine red it looks beautiful! :) I have a les paul standart in black from 2000 and an american standart strat from '98. I will keep them, but since I don't play in a band no more, but still like to buy a new guitar from time to time, the ones I bought over the last few years have been cheaper ones - 2k or even more only for playing at home would be a little over the top :D the latest one I bought was a squier vintage modified jazzmaster in white for about 320€, its cheap but I love it - looks great and sounds decent. its really stunning what quality you can get today even for such a low price! I remember when I started playing guitar in the mid 90ies my first guitar was a samick les paul model for about 500€ and it was crap, today for about the same price you can get a mexico strat and these are really nice instruments - at least some things change for the better ;) and yes, we all are gearsluts :D greetings!

+Rob Chapman I am gonna make an assumption here. The guitar he is holding at 16:50 looks like the Melvin Franks relic model Custom shop which is basically the infamous Peter Green model given away later on to Gary Moore by the man himself. The guitar was involved in a car accident and got severely damaged, hence the replicated cracked at the top of the neck close to the headstock. Gary took it to a luthier and he glued it back together. Anyway, awesome instrument!
