Ya prob time to sell a few, ya think 😂

[@AdamGotheridge]

Michael, add 0:00 intro and copy and paste in the video description. This is a long one, and I'm sure it took forever to put together too. Thanks.

[@SixStringSamuray]

I think you have missed your Charvel Henrik Danhage 🤔

[@BabyThomas]

The Koa Suhr is beyond cool! 😍 Everything else can go away... 😆

[@heavybrett-al4082]

I still get a kick after 30 years , when non guitar addicts say " but why do you need more than one? Can't you do it with just one?" . Great collection man🙏🎸👍

[@jaycareaga9929]

Because they’re purdy. 🤣🤣😂😂

[@GeneSchmidt]

Man. I really enjoyed this. Love your channel. You are a very authentic guy with a $#!+load of talent to back it all up. I still don’t get why you don’t have several hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Happy new year to you and the family.

[@banorilsk]

Totally agree

[@vaisatchatrucci]

That’s it, I’m ordering a Lollar Imperial and have a feeling I’ll be ordering more than one 😂 Fun video Michael I really enjoyed watching and what a great collection of guitars! Loved reliving all the insane riffage and phrasing that we all envy 🔥 Wishing you and yours a wonderful new year and looking forward to seeing (and hearing) what 2025 will bring you and all inhabitants of Big Hairy Guiter Nation! 🤘

[@lackokalman]

I had a similar epiphany in the 90's :D Had a beautiful white Kramer Pacer Imperial and all of the sudden I bought a 52RI Tele. I swapped the bridge PU to a DiMarzio Chopper (they haven't had a tele model, so I clipped the sides of the PU and used clay to fix it, lol) but it sounded amazing, I always got compliments! Funny enough, couple of years later Ritchie Kotzen used the Chopper in his signature tele, so Dimarzio strarted to make these for tele as well. Never looked back since then.

[@rocknjamz]

i miss my 1971 les paul custom but i love the telecaster and stratocaster cheers michael love your original music dude happy holidays and New Year

[@glassGPT]

Cool video - always love to hear your playing. I like how some of the guitars seemed to inspire different styles of playing.

[@jasonsapp792]

The pickups in your R8 are always so impressive sounding

[@Wellcee426]

Funny I’ve been wondering for months what happened to the Reb Beach Suhr, and there it was towards the end. You gotta break that out more, such a cool guitar!

[@dakotarolfe3331]

Can’t wait to see the upcoming Shabat red and yellow lions to finish out the voltron team 😂 loved seeing this, Michael!

[@Spidouz]

I have VERY often thought about the “ultimate” electric guitar and I also came to the same conclusion it doesn’t exist, you need more than one. So I thought even more about “how many is enough?”… and I finally found the right number… you need *26* electric guitars in your collection. Here they are: 1- Telecaster style 2- Fender Strat style 3- Gibson Les Paul style 4- Hollowbody ES-335 style 5- PRS Custom 22/24 style 6- Shredder/Super Strat such Ibanez 7- 7 strings 8- 8 strings 9- Short scale 22” 10- Baritone 27” 11- Gretsch / Filtertron style 12- P90 style 13- 12 Strings 14- Jazzbox Archtop style (such Gibson L5) 15- Semi-Hollow body style 16- Electric-Acoustic Nylon (such Godin Multiac) 17- Electric-Acoustic Steel (such Tylor T5z) 18- Dobro style 19- Fretless 20- Mini Guitar ¾ 21- Sitar style (Dan Electro Baby Sitar) 22- Banjitar (banjo style) 23- Silent/Traveling guitar 24- MIDI Guitar 25- Headless TruTemp 26- a “Memory” guitar, which would be YOUR favorite, the one you maybe got from your father, grand father, uncle or your best friend, the one guitar that could be any of the 25 listed above, that might not even be the best one, but it’s your favorite one because you have huge memory with it and it’s the main one your children will get in their heritage.

[@steelwarrior105]

At 14:10, yes you need to have a dive only trem to fully retain tension when engaging the D-tuna. If you don't use the pitch up then just get an engl hardtailer or the like installed.

[@ludvanlazarz]

Man I love this video! 🎉 that mircle man-tone you got was unreal!!

[@badmacbassandbass8118]

Very cool video. And a reminder of how great of guitarist you are. I rarely watch hour long videos. I enjoyed this very much.

[@rangerdoc1029]

Does this mean we can expect a "Every Amp I Own" soon? Please.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

I have to get them back. I borrow / lend with my buds. So my amps are a bit scattered right now. I’ll do one this year.

[@coalfacechris1336]

Thanks for putting the effort into this, Michael.

[@srwaite7]

My R8 is my number one as well 🤘🏻😎🎸

[@Twobarpsi]

Your Shabat Lynx is my favorite! The clear finish reminds me of a perfectly glazed donut!🤘😎🤘

[@sinepulse]

Modular Channel is back!!

[@PeterLacis]

The Suhr Reb Beach with EMG's tuned down a full step is a beautiful thing to chug! Give that a shot!

[@rocknjamz]

Happy new Year michael you rock dude

[@TheHammersmashdave]

1:01:32 such a cool solo section! great great video Michael, love the collection

[@aswinpanembrama8043]

Cool Playing! Subscribed immediately

[@guitarz]

Nice thanks for sharing the stash. Cool to see all of these through the years in your videos too was a nice flashback 🍻

[@dimes3335]

The beginning: “I’m not really a collector, I don’t own a ton of guitars” Proceeds to show us 400 guitars 😂

[@denmut]

Mini correction: it is a Suhr Standard not Modern.

[@ericfraser4658]

Michael love, love, love this video. You are uber talented ⚡️

[@johnnyringo8174]

Wow! You have the coolest gear of anyone on you tube! Love it!

[@lyricbread]

57:36 That gives me both Red Special and Les Paul Jr vibes. Beautiful guitar.

[@jaycareaga9929]

You need an OG Studio City Valley Arts. According to every interview I’ve read Vito had a EMG 85 in the bridge and an 81 in the neck both are full humbuckers.

[@RabihSaadguitars]

Tyler guitars needs to redesign that headstock. Great Playing Michael..

[@Scott__C]

The PRS McCarty has seemingly replaced the Custom 22. Great bunch of stuff.

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Man that Les Paul sounds great! I had a set of Lollar imperials that I tried in three different guitars and they were the just terrible in my guitars. I think I might have just had a bad set. They were so bright that I had to drastically lower the treble side to try to get an even sound… your lollars sound amazing though 👍🏽

[@EdAlarcon120]

That pre-Grover Jackson Friedman guitar is called the P-15 model. I have one as well. A keeper for sure.

[@Watching-h5r]

If it’s from the beginning when Friedman started making them it was made by shabat.

[@EdAlarcon120]

@ exactly. It was still in the prototype stages. I love the headstock on those Shabat run Friedman guitars.

[@JasminMusic1602]

Song from 14:48 blow up my studio monitors! Amazing ! \m/

[@Ghostman574]

I did the same mod to my PRS, that 5-way rotary knob was terrible.

[@nobells4388]

❤Niiice!! Can we get a studio tour next? Saw the one for the old studio.

[@NTTDaily]

Nice! Re: the Steinberger. You probably have the better trem. Transtrem is cool but you pop high Es all over the place using it VH style.

[@freneticGTR]

That was really fun. Thanks Michael

[@rocknjamz]

your an amazing musician

[@vhtm5150]

Nice guitars!I have the same Friedman Cali with your spec, and it's a one of my favorite guitar!

[@brianmckenzie1318]

I'm no where near the player you are, but the story of the blue Friedman (Grover built) resonated with me! When he moved to TN, I ordered one of those (OG) T-styles. I was crushed when I couldn't really get along with it. The pickups were super hot and I went to change the bridge pickup out and found out why it had that "hollow" sound and felt weird when playing. It had that "boat" cut as you said. I learned a tough lesson and lost $ getting out from under it!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Bummer sorry. I wonder if they’re different now that they’re done with a new builder now

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I’m all about the orange Warmoth. 🤘🎸

[@andyvincent5150]

Awesome video, as usual! I had many favorites 😊. Can you share which strings/gauges you use?

[@NUNUA]

Pure fun video 🤘🏽

[@rangerdoc1029]

Ah Yes... The pursuit of "the one". That's why I have a dozen amps & even more guitars.

[@wendelllaffin240]

that's a lot of awesomeness good sir

[@chrisquinn9104]

Amps next?! Love your vids

[@PeterUrbanPhoto]

Man, that black Shabat Lion is so cool it makes me drool!!

[@wendelllaffin240]

can't wait for the amp video

[@alsanmatte]

When are you going to upload some songs in Spotify? You have taste, not only skills

[@CoreyJamesGuitars]

Cool video 🤙🏽

[@Watching-h5r]

I just said yesterday on live chat Shabat lion green is one of my favorite. Yea if your gf buys the guitar on credit marry her in the store. That PRS it’s best to have the older ones. The newer ones have nitro and are aging too fast. I think they should change them back. That type of guitar doesn’t need a relic job. Too fancy. Oh the PRS you traded was nice I like that charcoal striped. I think it’s charcoal.

[@fedrek01]

Every Guitar I Own, Many riffs were shown, Every bend I make, Every string I break, I will be playing you 😂🤣

[@aferreyrola]

if a prs has a 10 on that spot, then it´s a 10 top.

[@JeffMcErlain]

I approve of this video.

[@gil_evans]

Does the Nocaster have Nocaster wiring with the blend knob?

[@glenn3914]

the r8 is the bnest,... i ve got 4 of them, the best thick sound available,... you should try dimarzio s with them,... di marzios are made for gibsons

[@SAIBOT64]

Have you tried Lollars? I put lollars in almost all my guitars. Including my Les pauls and strats. They are made in Tacoma WA. They are fantastic. Lots of boutique guitar brands use lollars exclusively.

[@BluesSaracenoOfficial]

Great Channel!

[@rikshredder]

@Michael Nielsen Is that Rockin Racks available for Kemper??

[@rocknjamz]

the shabat lynx is my favorite

[@wjbecker4]

Good start…

[@lasyngwieeeiiilarsen7510]

Are you from denmark Sir??😊

[@Spidouz]

34:45 Yes, the 10 on the top means it’s a 10-Top

[@Spazzzzz67]

Is Shabat the company that’s making Dweezil’s guitars 🤔🤔sounds very familiar

[@andyvincent5150]

Yes

[@Watching-h5r]

He originally made the Friedman guitars at the very beginning. Not sure why they kept it quiet so don’t tell anyone. Avi is a great luthier though.

[@JasonCGuitarOfficial]

Thanks for sharing!! So jealous of that Modern Koa!!!! PUT THE FUCKING EMGS IN IT MIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PUT THE FUCKING EMGS IN IT!!!! And I hate the fucking things, but if you are gonna pay tribute to The Earl Of Beach you MUST have EMGs!! We seriously need to be the same age, we have all the same influences and love the same kinds of guitars! You are so close to selling me on getting a Shabbatt! But convincing the wife 5k for a guitar is ...well lets say after her trip to Spain ...LOL

[@Sonicblue1922]

Michael you need a Jazzmaster.

[@robertritzenthaler3775]

Would you ever consider selling your strat body?

[@EarthisnotforSale]

[@jimmy00000000]

Marie Kondo is watching

[@robpags]

Educate me please. The Shabbat guitars look very close the friedmans … what’s that all about?

[@Watching-h5r]

I’ll tell you. I don’t think it’s a secret I hope not. But that first run of Friedman guitars was Avi Shabat making them. Then he moved onto his own brand. That’s why they’re similar. If you go back to namm quite a few yrs back and punch in on utube Irwin Thomas Bogner demos when the ecstasy pedals came out and the Atma Irwin is using a light blue tele. Everyone was asking what is it etc. that was a Shabat tele. Really nice Avi is a master luthier. Then somewhere in the middle of that time he did the first run of Friedman guitars. Then he moved on to his own shop and is making great guitars. I’ve never heard a complaint ever. They’re made really really well.

[@veronatragedy7016]

Michael - Are you a Jew? Is that why you have so many Shabat guitars?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

No, but the best guitar builder in the world’s last name is Shabat. I haven’t played a brand that is so consistently good… guitar after guitar… excellence.

[@veronatragedy7016]

@@BigHairyGuitars I looked at their site and see the makers last name is Shabat.... I thought it was a religious thing. They seem pretty nice... with as many as you own I was shocked not to see your photo on their Artist roster on their site. I never heard of them or seen them until you. Well I been watching your channel about ten years so I seen them but didn't know what they were. They seem to be good for what you pointed out, custom features. But, at $4,500 base prices, that's Suhr & Les Paul Custom territory almost.... very hard for a brand that's only been around about 10 years to compete with them. I am hoping you do a video next showing every amp you own. You have a pretty big collection, about 25 guitars I counted, the most I ever owned all at one time was only twelve. I watched part of your livestream, so hey, why don't you just make a 2nd youtube channel where you just post whatever you wanna post without any concern whatsoever if it gets 0 views or thousands???? Or is it just about money? Because seems like it'd be fun for you to do that, and I personally would find it more fun watching you be YOU natural & unfiltered without any agenda or goal. If you need ideas for content dude I have tons... it'd be interesting to see you do a series of videos "a day in the life".... show us what your real day to day life is like.... show us what your actual worklife if like how you make your income, you do film compositions, so show us a behind the scenes real look at that, let us see how you get those jobs, how you do those jobs. I'd like to see the nitty gritty of all that kind of stuff.

[@Watching-h5r]

@@veronatragedy7016Shabat is his last name. It’s not Shabbat like Friday night Shabbat. Hs guitars are some of the best made. They’re all over the world. Dweezil Zappa plays them, Justin Derrico, Sean Hurwitz, and many more.

[@Watching-h5r]

@@veronatragedy7016I asked the same to show us session work. He does have one video but I’d like to see more too. That’s a dream job.
