It’s a guitar made out of found objects, not hardly a toy Bud.

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

Love the Shovel Guitar.

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

Shows me I still have lots to learn with my cigar box style guitar.

[@Maxxis1941]

I've been a blues fan for decades and have heard the line "He's so good he could play a shovel if you put strings on it" hundreds of times. When I found the wonderful world of Justin Johnson, I said to myself, "He's so good that he could play a shovel if you put..." Hey, wait a minute....DAMN! I swear Justin visited the crossroads and stole the devil's skills so he could create the music of the blues gods. I'm awestruck.

[@jeffhagain]

Damb I'm 65 yrs old a dedicated rocker of my era but that shovel just blew me away thank you Justin

[@billolmsted9773]

My 6 yr old grandson says to me every morning as we wait for the bus, "grampy play justin johnson, I want to watch him play his shovel!" Got him addicted to your playing like myself. Amazing talent you have, look forward to so much more from you

[@justinjohnsonlive]

Awesome! 🤘🎸🚌

[@danielburk1453]

I love it. I have been using digging sticks the wrong way for a long time

[@greybush1976]

Here I am staring in amazement. Again. Every time I click on one of his videos. Mind blown. I know there's a million different ways to play the millions of blues songs out there, but this guy kills it. Every time.

[@teddanyluk4602]

OOOH! The bewitching sound of the Shovel Guitar...welcome back my old friend; you never sounded so grand to me as right here, right now. Dang, that sounds so sweet.

[@justinmerrill3659]

Congrats to the winner! Bummed it wasn’t me, but now that I’ve spent the last couple weeks thinking about the possibility of owning a 3 string shovel, I’m prolly just gonna have to go and buy myself one. Congratulations again on the 1M mark! So grateful for all that you give back to your fans.

[@LoneWolf-McWeed]

I bought mine back in May of 2020. It is amazing and has had a very positive impact on my life. A true joy to own one. I hope by now you already know what that’s like. 😁

[@markmiele9334]

I didn't see that until you pointed it out....

[@alleynkruk1568]

Many apologies for the late comment reaper! Am an Australian guitarist of 36 yrs and am still digesting the magnitude of this gentleman’s skill and prowess!! Not to mention his toys and connections! Oh to have a guided “wander” through his collection of magical oddities!!

[@murfmurphy6212]

Congrats to the winner!

[@LoneWolf-McWeed]

If I could ever figure out how to play just this number like Justin does... my life would be complete. I love that funk of the slap ‘n slide melded with that mix of West Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina he gets when he plucks those notes beautifully on the 10th and 12th fret markers 👏 👊🏻🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rlins8688]

Good morning Justin, Congrats to the winner👍😎. This is, for me, the roots sound of blues. But, with a distortion, one Machina of Rock'n'Roll. A beautiful instrument.❤

[@robespierre31]

Congrats to the winner and to you for the million milestone. Cheers bro!

Every time I watch one of your videos, Justin, you always find a way to impress me. And I’m not only talking about your outstanding technique, but also about your almost limitless imagination to show us the whole range of sounds and melodies that can be drawn from an instrument in appearance simple and learn everything there is to learn from it.
