Mike Bloomfield is the first guy I ever saw holding a burst Les Paul. And the first guy I ever saw playing blues riffs. Darn fine job presenting this Stratocaster, Mr. JD. Carter's can feel free to send this one to me ... I will properly store it and never take it out and play it ... yeh, right.
Love it! I just got into Mike Bloomfield a few months ago thanks to an older fellow I look up to at the local blues jams. I wish I would have known and appreciated about how great of a guitar player Mike was when I was a teenager.
I remember getting Play em as you please.. In the mail from GP and it was warped! I got them to send me a new one and it was amazing! Mike was a flood of blues!
This is all fantastic. But, man, knowing as much as I can about Bloomfield and the cats who played with him? The idea that is axe would be some high dollar thing moved around for huge money would sicken him just as much as he hated the idea of chasing the almighty dollar aka fame above all else. He said it himself when he talked about playing stadiums, they were nothing to him compared to the higher bar of trying to emotionally move small congregations of folks on the old south side whom came from nothing. Keep on keepin' on tho. When the Dalai Lama moves on maybe you can sell some stuff from the temple too, it "means a lot to history."
Aside from being a fantastic musician JD is also a musical historian. Great content.
Great to hear Mike's story told by non other than JD Simo ❤ This is real guitar history right here. Thank you!!!

Wow, this really clear up a lot for me. Never realized where Mike fit into the timeline, quite interesting. ❤🎸
Lovely to hear about Mike
This Strat was at Rudy’s Music in NYC last year. See it’s travelled a little bit!
JD! 💜

1963 Fender Bloomfield Strat, held by J D Simo.
Thank you for this. Great video!
We’ve got the Strat, his two Teles now we need his Les Paul to surface.
See the Bloomfield tele on reverb right now too👍

Mike was a flood of blues!
The 1st album with Bloomy and Butter's what got me hooked...
Blues with a feeling, people...
Was this in Rudy's for a while? Saw this one up there I think. What a guitar.
W0W!
Legendary indeed!
Live at Fillmore West is my favorite particularly Carmelita Skiffle
Please reupload this video with the playing AFTER the speaking so we can actually hear the fucking thing!

Mike Campbell has always referenced Mike Bloomfield as a main influence on his playing.
Was that Guitar for sale? If so wonder for how much. 🤔
Sounds great!! If only we'd heard it 👎
I was trying to make out price. Was it 45k or 95k
Ouch, he forgot to demo the guitar. But I imagine it sounded like a Strat.
It’s being played in the background the entire video….
To late! It’s already sold. Would love to know who’s the lucky one. Please play it, don’t treat it like a bond.
The thumbnail even says 'played by JD Simo.' 😂
I think he's on some Barry Gold albums playing piano but is not credited....no?
Barry Goldberg. Part of Electric Flag.
This is all fantastic.

Just to let you know, he never shuts up and plays the guitar.
No bla bla... play it...
Ummmm......nice history lesson with no demo. 😂 Couldn't include at least 20 seconds to play it a bit?
Spoiler alert: he never plays it
