A BIG SINCERE WELCOME ANY AND ALL VIEWERS:
UNLESS of course you happen to be one of THOSE guys….
oh, you know the ones i mean…the ones that love to complain about not being able to hear every single word of dialogue perfectly clearly in a totally free video….after 50 years of working with power tools with no hearing protection.
I simply cannot deal with any more of the dumb ass “biggest guitar store in North America and they can’t afford a microphone?” comments
Please keep in mind that these are extremely loose casual conversations that are recorded with a simple iPhone….just a few dudes who have spent their entire lives in the old guitar racket sharing a few laughs, and a couple brews (courtesy of dear Wayne Baswell) and the occasional “hot take” on a particularly touchy subject
Starring:
Greg “Old World” Voros
Eric “Ebo” Borash
Corey Terrell
George Gruhn
Geoffrey from Atlanta
and a very special thanks to sweet Tosa from Atlanta for holding her arms up for over an hour straight filming this video. (Try that sometime folks…after 15 minutes it starts becoming a real problem)
Like all Homeskoolin’ products…this video is meant to be taken in good fun.
it is not meant to offend anyone…
please people, if any of the views expressed here-in don’t align with your own….please do not take it personally.
I am pretty sure you guys would rather see some raw unedited real shit rather than some smoothed out corporate PC bullshit….am i right?
Besides there is already enough people out there who hate me for providing 600 free guitar lessons.
Thanks for watching kids…please visit this amazing store if you ever get to Nashville…it is really something special.
George has been the king of the vintage guitar mountain since 1970.
Editor’s note:
I meant to say “tremotone”, not “frequensator” when I was referring to a few of Gibson’s questionable moves during the golden age.

I got to meet Tom today at Gruhn’s and wanted to say thanks for taking a few minutes to say hi. He was kinda busy and had people around him so I didn’t expect much time or much of a conversation, so it was still cool. But I will say, Corey and Greg are two of the most outstanding people I have ever met. I drove 10 hours to go to Gruhns on a trip to Nashville and Greg spent 45 minutes just shooting the shit with me like we had been friends for 20 years. Corey was much the same. Just outstanding people. I even got to meet the legend himself, George Gruhn! Anyways, you’re probably not going to remember me from the 15 minutes I was up in the room with you today watching a turtle eat lettuce, but thanks for your time.

Thanks for bringing out my dream guitar. The aged yellow binding is so damn sweet. Frampton Comes Alive was massive when I started playing (we're talking '76) That 3PU BB on the album cover was my ideal guitar. I was po' boy so it wasn't gonna happen but I could dream. It'll happen. I don't name my guitars. I refer to them by model or builder. LOL! @ TGP amp builders. Ugly guitars: Firebird X. Not crazy about the Tyler headstock. Thanks you for the reverse V.

We never said that, it was always "we are going to play tonight". Not "We are going to perform tonight". Monkeys 'perform', players 'play'. LOL Ugly guitar; Mosrite, with all those goofy angles and pups mounted cockeyed. Sexiest guitar; Has to be a Strat, just the curves/carves/shapes! Thanks so much to everyone around the table!! That was very special, we really appreciate it!! 8) Peace --gary

I have no idea who or what that is. I just heard it once and it got stuck in my brain. Sorry... What was the question again? LOL Hey Tom, I met the beautiful Emm Gryner last weekend. You played all the guitars on her awesome new album, "Business & Pleasure". She popped into the gig I was playing last Saturday. Nice girl and great album! Loved your work on it.

I love the kid-buying-a-guitar stories. I can relate. Although in my case I was 20, it was Summer 1988, at Guitar Center, and the salesman was probably my age or a year older. I had 300 bucks, and I walked out with a Kramer Aerostar ZX30H over a Squier Strat . In retrospect, I wish I'd gotten the Squier Strat, but the Kramer had **Select By EMG pickups**, and a bridge humbucker (ooh! ahh!, LOL).

Tom that was a really enjoyable video. I don't like the L6S either. I remember Carlos Santana endorsed it in an ad in Guitar Player back in the '70's. I played a few. I think the first version had a maple neck. It was the loudest guitar too with a not particularly pleasing sounding or feel. Not aesthetically pleasing to look at either. Every box was left unchecked with that model. Tom you ask great questions too. Great hang out. It felt like I was at the table with you guys.

The staff was extremely nice and made me feel very comfortable. I guess I was expecting the "Guitar Center" Sales approach where they only wanted you to look, but not at Gruhn's. Next time I will plan to spend some real time there. Great conversations Ya'll, thanks!

Really enjoyed the insights and discussion, especially the "pet peeves" part. I have to confess: "My name is Chuck and I have named some guitars." But in all fairness, that was a thing for a long time and I haven't named all of them and the only alternative when I first started was Pete Townsend and those butt-ugly numbers "1" and "2" that he would stick onto his Pauls. Did he think he was going to forget which was which? Finally, I think George and you (Tom) are talking about 2 different "ugliest" guitars. I don't recall the L6-S having any binding anywhere. I think he might have meant the L5-S? The only famous player I remember playing that one was Pat Martino for a while. Love the channel. Peace.

OK, I do agree the 3 pup Black LP Custom is maybe one of the coolest guitars ever made. I’ve wanted one since I bought Frampton Comes Alive in junior high, from the Woolworths in my home town mall! Ugliest electric guitar ever made is anything from BC Rich. I freaking hate all that Vikings and Warlocks looking shit. Best looking electric, I’ve gotta say Les Paul, but the Tele is right behind it. Also agree the Rick Bass is amazing.

I let Gruhns sell my Tom Holmes Lenny Breau model ser. no. 02. They sold it quickly and for a fair price. I was eyeballin a Valley Arts Larry Carlton P-90 Tele and a 50s/60s Player grade Frankenstien Fender Tele that Ed King ended up buying. I remember seeing John Hartford trying out vintage Banjos.

Forty years later while I’m watching this KZbin we’re in a uhaul van hauling my gear from Arizona to Texas. She’s never complained once about my gear habit! Years later when I sold the “The Strat” my youngest daughter told me it was like selling her brother since the guitar was older than she was. 😊

A “The Strat” was a good guitar. They generally weighed a ton though. In 1986 I visited Gruhns when it was next to adult works. I was looking for a reissue Korina V. George showed me pic of some wild cat that looked like an Ocelot that was in his back yard. George also told me the impact Bloomfield had. He also wanted me to Play this Guild Nightbird GG that he had designed. The Guild was awesome but I felt it was too expensive for the time. I bought an 82 Korina V for 600 bucks. This week I finally bought the ‘86 Nightbird GG after 37 years.

I was in Gruhn’s last week while on tour. I was disappointed in only one floor of guitars, and nothing very special in the bunch. What did I miss? Was there a secret password to see the real collection? I guess I expected more. Then I went to Rumble Seat & Carter’s and was blown away at the amount and selection of cool guitars on display. Other highlights were The Nashville Jam Co. & seeing Blackbird.

There is a second floor display area with the Top Tier items. I’ve never been up there myself, and I’ve even heard the staff tell people who have admitted to being from out of town that all the inventory is on the main floor. Carter Vintage is the exact opposite. It’s an amazing place, and they will let you play anything you want. That’s the reason why I’ve spent over $10,000 at Carter Vintage in the last six years and not a dime at Gruhn’s.

@@charlesbolton8471I was there yesterday and they let me up there no questions asked. Even let me meet George. Played a blackguard tele, the 57’ les Paul black beauty you see in this very video, few pre war martins, they were all super cool. Don’t know what you’re doing wrong.

Quiver = how many surfboards do you have in the back of your truck or garage because you think you're a pro surfer. Love this conversation...(gets another Creature Comforts Tropicalia from the fridge). By the way, I have a Suhr S with triple Thornbuckers and passionately love the middle one on its own...

I'm 63...I grew up playing & the vibe is real with old guitars. My favorite was a 50's maple neck Strat in Sherwood green that we thought was a worn out piece of shit that had wear on its maple neck & oxidised vibrato. My older brother traded a '63 Tele Custom with one ding on it & that Strat for a nice early 70's black Custom for both. At the time the deal was fair but it was at the height of the Led Zeppelin era and everybody needed a Paul. Timing is everything in the vintage guitar business, but I get sick thinking about that trade when you look at the market today
