Nathaniel can make any guitar in that beautiful shop sound amazing. I love the vintage stuff, but truth be told, when he's playing, I don't care what it is. He's one of the most talented and versatile players on the whole of YT. What a treasure to our fair city. Cheers Team CME and thanks Nathaniel. You play so good, I never want to pick up one of my guitars again. LOL

Next time I’m in Chicago I must visit the shop. It looks well-stocked with quality gear in a nice environment. Prices don’t seem unreasonable either!

I started playing when I was 9 using my dads 330 Gibson Dot natural finish. When I turned 14 my dad took me down to the local Gibson/Fender dealer and bought me my first very own guitar. I was in shock to have my own guitar. I looked up at the wall of instruments and he said "i can make a suggestion'? They pulled down a sunburst Gibson 345 stereo guitar!! I fell in love with it for about a year, lol. Then I had to trade it for a Gibson Firebird because Johnny Winter was playing one. Big mistake. I'd give anything to have the 345 back. So much for being poor those days. I'm 71 years old now. Been playing all these years. In bands out of bands, recording in my little studio playing with most of the local guys. Been playing 60plus years and Nathaniel's been playing half that long and knows twice as much. Go figure. Just shows it's not how long you play but your level of talent and what you put into it.
