We made a $500,000 Guitar Rig! | Nashville Guitar Store Tours

[@evilnudibranch]

That rig sounds almost as good as my epiphone through my line 6 spide (mk2).

[@TribalGuitars]

I've always thought you can tell someone's influences by what they play first when sitting down to try a guitar in a shop and Zach's and Matthew's are definitely showing. Loved that Strat! Daaaamn... If I ever hit the lottery I'm hitting Carter's ASAP! Great video as always, guys!

[@jefffletcher2614]

Always enjoy Zach’s playing but it was very cool to hear Matthew and Jeff as well!

[@largeeng]

I was blown away by the old store last year, I am just going to have to come back and check out the new one! If you are a guitar freak/geek/nerd, Nashville is hard to beat. Gruhns and Rumble Seat are on the same street, and I had a day going between them all. I didn't hit Arnolds, but ended downtown with a couple of drinks and food, I needed to reflect on what I had seen and the dozens of guitars I had been able to play. I was only there a couple of days but packed a lot in, I shall be back!

[@charlesbolton8471]

I was always a huge fan of the original Carter Vintage location, and was worried that I would not like the new location. I have to admit that I am even more impressed with the new location.

Because they were basically all hand made back then!!! That guitar is one of one!! An like the man said, he fights with it!! An when you really have something on your heart An soul you want to get out you dig deep into the guitar to get it out! That coupled with power tube's just cookin!! It's real magic!! Nothing like it!!

[@GitShiddy]

The guitar rows in new Carter's appear, at least on video, to be a bit wider. Which good! Every time I saw those swap meet looking rows, it's a vibe I get it, but I always got the "what if it domino's?" anxiety looking at them.

[@mtacoustic1]

I have a photo of a band my mother played for back in the 60's. The photo shows one of the guitar players using a gold top Les Paul; the photo is dated 1962. Wonder where that guitar is now?!

[@jeffdavidson3975]

I need to take a day off to visit the new Carter. Looks incredible

[@paulbingham_Creative]

I saw the original Greeny at the SC guitar show years ago for sale and at the time I think the guy selling it was asking about $1.5M at the time! It looked incredible and I did actually get to hear it live in concert back in 1992 when Gary Moore played it on his After Hours tour at the Birmingham NEC in the UK! 🎸🔥

[@jason_cornelius]

What I admire most about this video is your dedication to long sleeves in Nashville in May. 🥵🥵🥵

[@philf4086]

Unless it plays itself, nothing is worth that amount of money. As far as the store goes, I really like the design of the floor-mounted racks. Great idea to keep everything at waist level. 22:10 - did that Greeny have a headstock break/repair, or is that a scarf joint?

[@MythosPedals]

Things are worth what people are willing to pay.

[@AldoRizza-r6q]

@@MythosPedals That's why these instruments are unattainable, people with more money than brains.

[@moreorlesslikeso]

What's that guitar/bass/drums groove in the background (e.g. at around 11:40 [and before, too]) - has a bit of a Charlie Hunter vibe to me...

[@SteveR5954]

Cheers... love this kind of video. Yeah that 54 Strat was the star of the video for me. How was the experience of the Burst compared to your new Murphy?

[@MythosPedals]

It was a great guitar, not my favorite. I prefer my new Murpy!

[@SteveR5954]

[@MythosPedals]

I’ve played a lot of vintage guitars and am very careful.

[@ibaneztubescreamer]

It's like an airplane hanger of gear.

[@Tyler_Wilson]

Arguably I thought the Shabat/Benson rig sounded better to my ears than the Les Paul/Dumble combo 😅😂

[@MythosPedals]

It’s a sick combo

[@MurrayWilliams]

Does new Carter’s smell like old Carter’s? I have such a sense memory of the Old Carter’s.

[@MythosPedals]

It's the gear that has the smell, so YES! Great smells over there

[@diezelvh4133]

After using my silverburst and diezel vh4 for so long, really nothing else sounds good anymore. The paring just blows everything else away. My tone chasing and getting a perfectly butter smooth play with perfect intonation is over.

[@CradleRawk]

could you recommend some basic mods to perform on this rig please?

[@MythosPedals]

This ones doesn't really need much lol, I'd probably play with speakers in the Dumble knowing me

[@CradleRawk]

@@MythosPedals ha ha, you are an inveterate modder! It sounded sick, great playin' btw, really enjoy all the Mythos content & the Dipped in Tone stuff

[@MatthewRMacKinnon]

Wow. Makes me so sad that we truly don’t have anything like this in Canada!

[@bymbie]

I think the sales tax difference should be more than enough to cover your flight to Nashville... even if you are going "cheap" and not dropping a 1/4 mill on an axe. If you are out west, there's a few sweet stores in Seattle as well.... Now try to be a leftie player in Canada like I am. Haha.

[@popvultureatx5656]

Ha, the (I’m guessing) faux headstock break on the Greeny…

[@MythosPedals]

Indeed, they are trying to copy everything on the original so those marks have to be there

[@popvultureatx5656]

Would be kind of amazing if they just broke it and repaired it for the real Gibson experience

[@bleeknoir]

Interesting comment about great electric guitars feeling plugged in when played acoustically. Couldn’t agree more. Tons of guitars respond terribly unplugged. A great instrument responds brilliantly well acoustically.

[@vaportrails7943]

Meanwhile, a new Les Paul and Fender amp sound exactly the same for a fraction of the cost. If people want to collect old gear, for historical purposes, more power to them. But any suggestion that it is any better than the same thing being made today is snake oil. It’s usually worse, for obvious reasons. This stuff is irrelevant to musicians who just want to make music. If you’ve got a bunch of money and find old stuff interesting, cool. But this is like wine collecting, or art, and so on. A hobby for rich people. It’s expensive because it’s rare. As musical instruments, the new ones are literally the same thing. Gibson even uses some of the same machines in their factory that they’ve been using from the beginning.

[@dezionlion]

Ok jealous hater

[@vaportrails7943]

@@dezionlion Not jealous, just tired of seeing the same things. Some guitars are better than others. But then there’s cork sniffing. I like Gibsons. But you don’t need to pay $100,000 for one. Especially if it’s all jacked up and is actually worse than a new one.

[@dezionlion]

That’s great you have a Les Paul and fender amp but these videos are for people who want to dream.

[@vaportrails7943]

@@dezionlion I have a Les Paul (cost way less than this one), do not have a Fender amp. And theirs is a Dumble, which is astronomically expensive. Dreaming of vintage gear that costs 5-6 figures is useless, was my point. Get brand new ones that cost way less, and it sounds the same.

@@MythosPedals The "grossness" of it, is why not. Few to none of these things were selling for even 15 grand 20-30 years ago, and so the apparent inflation is rather extreme. Especially after going through the fiscal catastrophes of 2008 through 2020 "Cares" Act, NAFTA, TCP/IP and on and on. People don't like to be reminded that they were dealt (and/or played) a much lower hand and draw in life, so viddys like this come across as show-off-y and ostentatious. They're just little slabs of wood with paint sprayed on and metal screwed in plus some stone-age electronics and _they aren't violins_ - or even a synthesizer, for that matter. Let alone a piano or a car. TL;DR = Electric guitars are "supposed to be" humble, not _haute couture._
