LOOK at what we found!! Basement of a Music Store

[@gpdaelemans]

Me and my band mates would undertake the pilgrimage to "Chucks" at least once a month from Southern MD (90+ minutes and beltway traffic away) back in the early 90's. Spent lots of my disposable and not-so disposable income there. Had the pleasure of taking my son there (drummer) for his first music store experience last year and was amazed that the place had changed so little. Thanks for the video!

[@tonya4157]

I'm no historian but it was sometime in the late 80s, early 90s that Gibson reissued that double neck and a good friend bought one. I still remember going to his house after work for the "unboxing". Lol. It was awesome. Couldn't believe I was holding that beautiful guitar. And when he played STH, I didn't protest.

[@BAMozzy69]

If I lived in the US, I would certainly be trying to buy that PRS!!! That guitar is stunning and I bet it plays just as good as it looks as its a PRS!!

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

If you pause the part where he was reading the letter it tells you the exact colour their custom shop stained it ( Makena Blue) This will help you if you decide to buy one in the future. I was also gobsmacked at the colour of the stain. Its like a blue Lagoon in India or something. Carvin do these colours also which are very beautiful. Gibson started doing them but they look trashy and desperate on a Gibson but Gibson are desperate these days and have ruined their own company. All they had to do was to make the best Les Pauls in their traditional colours but the quality was failing and they did everything wrong. Their customer care should of been the best in the world but it is now the worst. I think Gibson deserve to close down now sadly!

[@toddflowers8052]

Oh man TK I'd love to go down there and get lost ! Thanks for sharing this buddy ! Rock on !

[@observinghumanity3034]

I have been shopping for a Suhr and I have been planning on going out to Chuck Levins when the weather kicks into Spring and see if I can find me a new Suhr guitar there.

[@brettmarlar4154]

Hotel California was on one of those. Don Felder played it. Also Alex Lifeson played one on Xanadu!

[@sailormike1089]

Don Felder also rewired it for stereo.

[@haveguitar]

Warehouse? Looks more like paradise found to me!! 😃👍👍

[@DC11music]

Bought a pearl white PRS there in 1987. Picked it out right in the basement. Regret selling it a few years later. It would be worth alot.

[@Terry3Gs]

wow that tree of life !! thanks for the share ttk

[@LazyCat010]

Xanadu is my go-to double-neck guitar song.

[@timothycormier3494]

Some may call that the Jimmy page guitar. I call it the Frankie hannon guitar. Sorry I was just grooving out to some Tesla earlier

[@timothycormier3494]

Jack Sparrow yeah! I didn’t think they’d ever be able to replace tommy. But Dave rude is one hell of a guitar player. Don’t get me wrong. Tommy skeoch’s influence cannot be replaced. But Dave is pretty dam good

[@raulperez2308]

i know it as the mclaughlin guitar :D

[@timothycormier3494]

[@ciri151]

The black version is slash's guitar The red version is Page's guitar

[@ronnie5129]

THIS IS MY KIND OF BASEMENT, I WISH IT WAS MINE TO PLAY IN, COUSIN FIGEL

[@SeanKerns]

The Eagles used the doubleneck for Hotel California live. I think Felder said he wrote it and recorded it on a 12-string acoustic.

[@bigbuckjoe3]

Sean Kerns that is true

[@davidevans3175]

Page played the Fender 12 on the record as most players did who were not Rick 12 players. The SG was for live.

[@brianfromoregon2244]

Absolutely Hotel California was done on a Gibson double neck. Don Felder classic

[@tone-osaurus]

Right you are sir, but his was white.

Not in the Video I saw but maybe on the recording

[@ironeddie3911]

That Gibson is beautiful!☝️

[@NITE_SHIFTING]

Heaven on earth. WOW!

[@Ibaneddie76]

I would kill to have a music store like that where I live, I'm stuck with a shitty GC that never updates their stock of guitars and actually turned their vault into a school band instrument rental storage area. It sucks to not have any good guitar shops around. Thats why I taught myself how to build guitars, now I can have whatever I want, still there is something special about saving up and finding your dream guitar at a great shop like the one in this video. I keep saying I'm going to build a double neck but keep putting it off, after this video I think I'll finally start one, It'll be a mashup though, no 12 string. I'll do a fender Strat style 6 string with an Ibanez style 7 or 8, just for the hell of it.

[@edwingdelangel666]

that boy has the best job in the world 😍

[@BenCoombs]

Great video TTK, love that Ernie Ball double neck!!

[@MadrojDaMadone]

I like that Jackson Kelly... :)

[@BladeJones]

Will they EVER sell all of these guitars?

[@malicesmom]

Cool video! I'm not too far from Chuck Levin's, but I've never been. Wonder how their lefty selection is...🤔

[@notsureupgrayedd9663]

In the thumbnail I thought it was Norm of Norman's rare guitars.

[@donniekellerman5833]

So they have guitars that they've ordered over the years & never put out on the floor to sell? And they've just been sitting down there? I don't understand.. .

[@guitarguts666]

I'm surprised in find something for you that was really old from the sixties because they have a lot of that down there. That's their holy Grail stash

[@onestepbeyond7240]

I'm not an expert , but, does this place make Norms rare guitars look like a booger ?

[@mindcontrol67]

Did you ever see the warehouse that Norm has other guitars stashed besides the store?

[@onestepbeyond7240]

@@mindcontrol67 No. Does it make Chuck Levin's music center look like a booger ?

[@mindcontrol67]

It sure does.

[@pvtlehto]

Norms is overpriced

[@caiusmadison2996]

@@pvtlehto also, Norms is more just vintage and not aimed at total rarity. That said he does have some of the very rarest if guitars, like the Fender Marauders.

[@kdrake777]

Very fun and interesting video!

[@fatrat137]

OMFG OMG that red Gibson ....the pawn shop by my house has that guitar for $300 Canadian. ....that's like $175.00 in the USA, holly I need to go buy that thing

[@davidkastin4240]

Go check the headstock dude. I bet it says Cozart for that price. Get real. Any Gibson in non working condition is more than that

[@JaniceLalla]

[@mateoh.3735]

I've been in the market for a PRS SE Custom & have noticed a lot of "demos" on Sweetwaters site with that fretboard finish issue. They all seem to come from Cor-Tek factory. I thought PRS was supposed to catch that shit at their Maryland factory. Makes me wonder if they really QC every instrument or just a few out of a shipment. Hope that move to Indonesia didn't ruin a great line of guitars.

[@JV-rx3ov]

So much dead inventory just sitting on shelves. Loose items everywhere just looking to get damaged in such tight confines. At some point they will be wishing that money was in the bank rather than in a stock room gathering dust.

[@caiusmadison2996]

They have a rack that has tape across the bottom that reads "on Reverb Now" which has me believe that numerous websites are being used to sell this rarer inventory. That's the way to do it. You don't hang a 20,000 dollar guitar on your store wall and hope somebody comes in for it. Never will happen. You list it on Reverb and wait a few years, then it will.
