That BC Rich was gorgeous!! I checked it out apparently you can still buy speedloader strings. They’re just really hard to come across online. Then you have ppl on eBay selling a pack for 100 bucks a pop. Anyway I love your videos! I can’t wait to see your other “Hunt” vids! 🤘

Many years ago I wanted to buy that exact Ibanez RG1570 but couldn’t afford it at the time...nice to see they are still around, maybe there is still hope

[@blkjakk]

Lol @ 14:55 that’s the exact Fender Elite case I sent you the link to the other day! They are amazing. I really enjoyed looking at the ole BC Rich guitars. I really dig the Yngwie Strats too-especially the one with the rosewood fretboard. Man they have tons of inventory. 😳🎸

[@samuraifugitivo]

Wow, look at those prs!, pieces of art!

[@bryansonnet2454]

Back in the 70's and 80's, I would make my rounds to Chuck Levin's as well as Veneman's Music over in Rockville. I bought a Gibson doubleneck from Chuck Levin's for $1000 back then. I remember seeing Neal Schon's guitar showcased at the store as well. Lots of great memories

[@Malte-Micha]

Speed loader strings are still available!!! No need to modify the B.C. Rich at all!

[@zaz4667]

Pretty awesome! Chuck Levin's Web site has 374 guitars as of today. None of the ones shown here are on it that I can tell! Awesome tour. A real great story on their web site about page! Looks like a great place to buy.

[@robertwellington2616]

Za Z they need to at least list them or put them on reverb. What are they waiting for? They should be sold and be played. Isn’t that the purpose? Someone just has to do it.

The PRS was utterly gorgeous and I am sure I would pick that colour from the custom shop catalogue even if they did a hundred colours. It was like a shallow llagoon from India or something. Never gig guitars that look like this EVER!

Why is Paul *exactly* like the guy you’d expect the guy in this position to be like

[@PoXFreak]

Other than the cost of the strings and the inability to use obscure tunings, I didn't have an issue with the SpeedLoader setup. Bought a new fst-3 and the same strings I bought it with were still on it 3 years later when I sold it. Just cleaned them with rubbing alcohol and treated them with 3n1 oil.

[@loraljohnson]

Wow! I think this is the Paul I used to work with in the 80s. Paul, if you're the one that went to Aruba, you called me and told me to come to the store NOW. I drove from the Eastern Shore over in 2 hours, and you took me down to the basement. Got out a Gibson Moderne #005. I bought that from you. And a few months later, my wife bought the matching Korina Flying V. I used to by tons from you. You stopped calling!! LOL

[@brianmckenzie1318]

Does Levin's list all these guitars on their website? Is the warehouse only accessible by a select few with "clout" ? Just curious, as I don't know how you would be able to browse their entire inventory to see if they had something you may want to purchase. Anyway, enjoyed the warehouse hunt, but just wonder how the average person who doesn't live near them would know what's in stock.

[@SaltyJoe189]

I had a B.C. Rich with the speed loader floyd. I got it around 2007 and sold it after a couple years. Really nice guitar and the floyd was great. Strings were very expensive and hard to find, thats why I sold it. Some times I wish I had kept it but it was too big of a pain.

This store reminds of the old Chicago Music Store in downtown Tucson circa late 90s. They had a ton of unused new old stock Ibanez guitars from the Lawsuit era as well as other cool Made in Japan guitars.

Always wondered where Paul went when he disappeared downstairs. Levin's cuts the best deals. Haggle, but they will just tell the bottom line without the games. Tiny place, but amazing selection beyond that which is on display. They hand pick the top end, like the best PRS. The tops on Guitar Center PRS's are the dregs.
