- I had some time off in New York City and decided to do a little vintage guitar shopping at some of NYC's best guitar shops. Carmine Street Guitars, Rudy's Music Soho and TR Crandall. I even got to play the very FIRST sunburst Les Paul from 1956!

I kinda feel click baited a bit, maybe it's that fire bird ?
Rhett Shull. I really enjoyed your version of Mr Sandman. You've probably heard of Tommy Emmanuel but if you haven't, give him a look. In 1999, Chet Atkins awarded him ( along with four others) the "Certified Guitar Player" title. As a fellow guitarist (not in Tommy's class though) I've been in awe of his skill as a guitarist. He's also one of the truly nice guys. I saw him live about thirty years ago and it's by far the best live performance by any musical act I've ever seen. p.s. I've only recently subscribed and enjoy your vids especially the live stuff.
Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
@Arturo Colton instablaster :)
@Alfredo Korbyn I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Making a guitar from the charred wood of a burned temple is the most rock n’ roll thing I’ve ever heard.
plus dripping your blood into swirl paint
Something something black metal
Yeah, but did not sound any good...
sounds ridiculously black metal
This is the shit we live for
Hi Rhett, I'm 69 years old, I can remember one of the best times of my life when I was around 15 and I would go to Down town Portland, Oregon on a Saturday and go through every pawn shop music store, and play and touch everything they had, and knowing I couldn't afford to buy any of them, until I got a job. My first guitar was a Gibson ES-335 with a bigsby I wish I had it back, I put money down for 6 months washing dishes at the Oyster Bar, until I could buy it. I quit the job the day I got it, played all through High School and later, but the magic of going through those shops will always be with me, I met some really great people and made some great memories. The Guitar Magic Spell I still have, and probably never die as long as I'm walking this earth. Thanks for the memories.
@O K you don’t need alcohol and weed to have fun man
I hope you still don't live in Portland?
👍
Do you still have the 335?
Well, your LOVE for guitars and music just made me cry. Thank you for this comment.
I went to Rudy’s a few years back when I was out in NYC. I was way out of my league in terms of cost but the guy in there gave me a full tour, showing me some really cool guitars and a bit of a history lesson. I was really impressed that I wasn’t just kicked out of such a high end shop and they had the time to just show a guy around.
Wow that firebird through that tweed was unreal even through TH-cam.
Yeah, asolutely true. So juicy
That is exactly why I will never sell my Firebird. The real 63-early 65 ones are a different animal. Also, Tweed Deluxe... game over 👌🏽
I agree, must have sounded great live but even through my apple headphones it sounded fab.
Saved the best for last. That tone was exquisite!
exactly
After seeing Carmine Street's workshop, i don't feel bad about never cleaning my studio/workspace!
I wonder how many guitars, just disappear in there? Never to be seen again?...................Reminded me of hoarders on "America Pickers."
That place is a fire trap.
@@weschilton To be honest any guitar shop is, whether it is messy or not.
Yeah, it's big room of old dry wood and flammable lacquers, right? lol. Seriously.
There is a place for everything and everything has a place.
I'm not even a guitar-geek, but BIG thumbs-up, just for all that fascinating wood discussion with the luthier. Cheers.
dude that "not, not serious" moment was one of the most golden moments ive ever seen hahahah
So cool to see my neon strat in the window is still lit up! I made that for Rick over 25 years ago.
Not sure Rhett saw the no Mr. Sandman sign. :)
Patrick M where?
Salvador Elmer Cabotage III right next to the no Stairway sign
No Enter Sandman. Mr. Sandman is ok.
I'm requesting a mashup...Enter Mr Sandman.
@@glennpace9783 maybe DJ Cummerbund can help with that
Plan B = "I mean I'm not not serious". The wife ALWAYS wins when that "You're serious" comes out not as a question but as a statement and accusation. Hahaha.
Thanks for taking us on the tour and then the tour of the shops. Very cool.
J Fiery
his face after “you’re serious” absolutely killed me
@@definandstuff8926 now I know how I look. Because I definitely recognized that feeling.
J Fiery doesn’t not not serious mean serious?? It means serious. I didn’t even know about that last shop. It’s like D’angelico’s new showroom used to be a guitar store with all boutique guitars and amps. But nobody really knew where it was. I can’t even remember their name. But a friend went their got some pics. Beautiful stuff but they couldn’t compete with big box stores.
Lol !!!!....not as a question but an accusational statement!!
Rhett takes his jacket off. That's because his last name is not Agnesi.
@christopher weise Whenever I walk into a Guitar Center, Sam Ash, Sweetwater or wherever, I always take off whatever jacket I'm wearing no matter what guitar I try.
@mike.is.guitar Then why did you comment?
@Michael Scheer I take off my watch when I sit down to play drums. First because the wrist band is loose. It's a metal clamp style.
@@frankspikes4867 I never get to play any of the instruments I want to whenever I walk into any music shops. I'm very respectful like you guys. I take off my leather jacket, I take off my rings, I take off my wrist watch, I take off my shoes, i take off my shirt, I take off my pants and it's shortly after that I find myself on the street....I don't get it.
Jim Bame LOL well going a little too far.
No guitarist should ever go into a high end vintage guitar shop with his wife and without a pocket full of serious cash.
Or carry two guitars in ready to negotiate a trade. 🧐
@Short For A Stormtrooper Big For Your Mom yeah but $4k is probably not a casual weekly shopping expense for most people
Blackie James FACTS
James Ashley that was just the amp. He didn’t bring up the $12 grand yet for the guitar.
Rikkousa Better yet, buy every guitar you’d ever want prior to getting married. Then have a lawyer draw up a prenup excluding all music equipment from assets.
Thanks for taking us along on your VERY COOL guitar shopping adventure. I loved it and yes, That Firebird through the Fender Tweed sounded incredible!
Nice guitar. What wood is that?
"Serbian Orthodox Church"
..a blessed guitar..☦️
im assuming the charred guitar was made into a firebird?
After I'm dead, I'm afraid my wife will sell my guitars for what I told her I bought them for..
I keep a full accounting of my guitars and their current values in case the Good Lord takes me home.
Man - you need to give instructions in a will.
Give her my contact info......haha.
@@JohnWilson-vw9fe I think before I croak, I'm going to will my gear to my little bro, my daughter, and my nephew.
So, you should live longer than your wife :=)
I really like how the first place repurposes the wood and I can't believe they let you play the first Sunburst ever made that's amazing
That look at 14:45! LOL! "See if we can't go home with something". Love your videos. Great channel, very inspiring to my guitar playing.
Great video, Great playing. Great vintage gear, Love it.
That’s awesome that these people are so open and happy to have people film and ask question. I know quite a few places are quite snobby and just want you to buy something and get out. So good on these shops
Free advertisement for them. I;m sure he clears with them in advance. They look him up, sees how many subscribers he has and say yeah, come on in
Thank's for the tour. Awesome display's of vintage gear. A player's dream day! Thank's!
That 56 LP sounds amazing, and it has got a player that understands and an amp that is perfect for it. Pretty damn good.
That little taste of "Mr. Sandman" was worth the whole video. Nice job, Rhett!!! :D
When I started playing guitar in 1965, I could have bought used vintage Gibsons and Fenders everyday of the week for $100 to $125. My best friend was given (Free) a 1960 Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul by one of the neighbor mother's after her son was killed in Vietnam and never made it back home to be with the rest of us. He, 10 years later, sold it for $1200. I had vintage early 60's SG's, 335,'s 345's, Stratocaster's and Tele's go through my hands over the years. Every time I see you make these guitar hunting trips to guitar stores and hear the prices, I go for the scotch whisky and remanence as I ease my pain.
Awesome video, love this. I live in NY and never knew of all of these boutique guitar shops... amazing..
13:40 - 14:14 my favorite part was the strum on the chord changes. The tonal melody warm and pristine. Those chords make a great Gibson sound like no other guitar. Nice playing.
More, more guitar store tours when you hit NYC again. Please 🙏. Thx Rhett. This was great.
I love how you take your family to watch you play guitar and riff! That's the ultimate rock star dream! Those Les Pauls and especially the Gretsch were outstanding.

Hello Rhett I'm from the Aiken,SC n August,Gaarea well hlo neighbor.peacr
Thanks once again, dude. I enjoyed ‘hanging out’ with you in New York. You certainly do those guitars justice.
Love that reclaimed wood studio
What a talented woman and crew! Awesome stuff. Best of vibes to you💫
One of your best videos yet! The first stop was epic -- with all that reclaimed wood. I get dizzy imagining all that tone. Cindy and Rick are luthi-ing heroes!
Very polite of your wife to leave the F-bomb out the "Are you serious?" query lol. Great video Rhett, thanks for sharing!
love this, as a teen I used to hit the guitar stores all over NYC.
Great video, Rhett. It was nice to watch you jam out and very cool to see some of those guitars!
Beautiful seeing these artists at work. Nice fun playing, too!
LMAO " I mean I'm not not serious" Dude I felt the daggers shooting at you from her eyes , OUCH!!!
Thank you Rhett...I'm a native born NYC lifer who now lives in HK for the last few years - I haven't had a chance to go back yet so I am a bit starved for home. Your vid was so terrific, seeing the old hometown again. Indeed, no shortage of amazing guitar shops in NYC, though you may have missed out on the heyday of 48th street Music Row back in the day. Only one thing you didn't do on camera - have an NYC dirty water dog...you walked right by the Sabrett cart at 14:44 and didn't even stop to smell the onions. XD Thanks man...superlative vid as always!
Thanks Joe! I love your city
Grew up and worked in NYC before retiring. I had more dirty water dogs than I could count. Have at least two and you are guaranteed to burp. That's the most distinctive burp one can have. Eat a dog at noon and you're still tasting it at dinner!
@@stephenwalsh2634 Yup, indeed! And that's a feature benefit lol. Especially with extra mustard, onions and saurkraut. XD
The new TR Crandall shop looks great! That Firebird V and Deluxe combo sounds divine. Thanks for sharing this guitar shop tour Rhett!
Man that was fun. Thanks for uploading and sharing!
Rhett’s playing has really gotten better over the last year.
I hate watching guys who are decades younger than me playing circles around me.
@@inlandbott Yes and it's improved my playing very much. But the truth of the matter is there's no substitute for 1) talent and 2) practice.
@@ocan1033 It's all about the time you put in. I had a buddy that, not a word of a lie played 12 hours a day. How good was he? He sounded like a guy that played 12 hours a day. I read recently that Barney Kessell play up to 16 hours a day. The talent is the dedication and vice versa!
Interesting thing to see pro musicians like Rhett also getting the "are you serious?" treatment when considering a big purchase. Great video, dude, and great playing too!
Great video! My favorite was the reclaimed wood shop...and your rendition of Mr. Sandman! Thanks!!!
Blown away.
This is how it's done.
I'm in my 60s now when you opened the door I swear I know the smell of this shop.... Rhett dude I love how you just keep brining the magic. My favorite episode along with that Nashville amp you picked up......
But that Firebird sound was serious, indeed. And I love Rudy's SOHO store.
There are no real rock chicks around anymore
Cindy: *"Hold my humbucker"*
Gay comment.
Man, to Cindy, on the first date: You're lovely & sweet, but what else do you bring to the table?
Cindy: Guitars. Made from tables.
@@YaoEspirito what kind of gay comment though?

Plot twist:
So you have chosen death.

Absolutely no one:

Hey Rhett: Thanks for the virtual tour! That was AWESOME!! I loved it!
I just started watching your videos and so far I’m enjoying them 👍🏻 keep up the good work!!!
This Firebird sounds terrific with this amp ! Suits you well
New T-shirt: “I’m not NOT serious.”
Hall of Canons not not serious. Which is serious. 👍😉
Pure fricking Gold!
Nice job on Mr Sandman. Gotta get my learn on. Thanks for you're videos.
This channel is growing and I love it. Keep it up dude. I watch your videos when I'm not so busy with work. Much blessings🙏🍺💙
I don’t care what my wife says I’ll take that LP and the tweed!!!! Mortgage the house, sell the kids! The tone!!!!
Great that your family enjoys visiting guitar shops with you. My family roll their eyes when I say I'm just going to pop into a shop for a quick look 😀 (and they don't know that I actually plan a day out around how many guitar shops there are en route 😙)
Yes! So much Yes in this video. I'm glad my hometown treated you well.

In RUDY'S shop
Coincidence?
I think not
yeah bro, nice reference bro.
Comment another one, bro
Do it bro
Its actually 0-5-7-2
That '64 Firebird was just screaming for some Johnny Winter to be coaxed out of it. The Stones was cool though... Rock n roll!
I can't believe how casual that dude was as he pulled THE first burst out from under the counter.
so cool....thanks for the tour pal!
Rudy's music is cool I love how the stores in the US were so willing to let me play anything in there and were super nice. In Australia some places even ask how much money is in your bank account before you try a 10k guitar.... and they aren't even joking! I bought a Henriksen amp from Rudy's when I was there.
A person shouldn't be playing a store's 10 grand guitar unless they have a serious interest in it as well as a means of paying for it. Otherwise you get endless wishful thinking dickeree-dos who only scratch up such instruments, waste a business' time, and usually walk out buying nothing. I have no problem with a store being discrete in such manners.
@@montag4516 they r guitars they are meant to be played and beat up a little. u wanna look at something go buy a painting.
@Sub Zero
Go scratch up your own guitars, not the ones that someone else might pay to own.
I look at these ancient guitars and I can’t help but wonder to myself “Imagine the heart attack a collector would have if someone popped those pickups out and put them in a $250 Ibanez”
Samurai Guitarist story, guy buys his young son the most expensive Les Paul in the shop (SG was working there at the time) because he wanted "the best"...and the most expensive is best right?
To his horror, Dad proceeded to agree with his son and outlined that it needed to be routered out for a trem and other "cool mods"...destroying it's sound AND value.
It happens all the time...sigh.
@@jbarnhart2653It's their beans, not your beans
Where you can make money on modified guitars is where you buy someone's Firefly that has been modified with say Lollar pickups. Pay Firefly prices and part it out!
I've watched this before. and I WANT SO MUCH MORE. This is purity in craftsmanship. And learning...
Great video, a real voyage of discovery .... Great playing too 👍
WOW, The firebird through the tweed was rich man.
"I saw you at Rudy's..you were very high"...
Great vlog, loved that Firebird + Tweed combo.
🤘😎🎸
but where was his big black cow?
Haha!! I just listened to Aja last night - on vinyl, of course. Still sounds just as incredible as it did when it was released.
It was a crying disgrace !
LOL!!! Your last.....errr...... Tilly's last statement,.. said it all!!! It's nice to have that moment of clarity... at least from the boss! Great playin!! and a successful tour. I'ts good to be Rhett Shull .
thanks for this mystic tour it was incredible. That's my passion. Now I know I have to be there sometime. Blues on.
I remember back in the early 1980's lower Manhattan was full of pawnshops that had rows and rows of old guitars. Nice ones and beat up ones. If I knew then what I know now, I would have bought so many at dirt cheap prices back then. I could have been rich reselling them today. Gibsons, American Gretsch, Fenders, old Epi's.. etc... Back then Guitar collecting wasn't a thought. All those pawnshops are gone now because rents are through the roof.
"I'm not, ... not serious..." I love it.
Rudy's is so far the best guitar store I've been to, lots of vintage gorgeous guitars, passionate and helping staff......
Another amazing mini movie Rhett. I subscribe to lots of other guitar ( and saxophone) guys but yours are the best by far - well produced, non opinionated and informative.
I completely understand why you'd want a great sounding, wonderful playing, beautiful looking guitar with such an amazing history. I get it like every other guitar nerd would. Yet, I'd probably spent my money on some great, but much less expensive gear. Not because of the fact that you can get more stuff (which could be a good enough reason for lots of us), but mainly because I'm pretty sure I could never take such an expensive and wanted guitar to a gig and relax. I mean, I'd be terrified something bad might happen. Breakage or theft (!!!). I'd be losing a lot of sleep and it wouldn't be good for my heart.
I had an old Vox AC30TB. Best amp I've ever heard. And I had it for 25 years. Nothing could beat it. And old iconic amps are actually reasonably cheap, compared to old iconic guitars. But guess what? It got stolen and it still hurts like hell. 😢
16:08 The Rolling Stones! ‘Slave’ from Tattoo You. Cool riff from a Great album!!
100% concur
That was good sounding stuff. My favorite was the Thunderbird setup but the Les Paul sunburst sound pulled me in hard. Thanks for sharing your adventure and allowing us to vicariously enjoy! Peace & Love!
Mad respect for the playing you did on these.
Alright..... I absolutely howled in laughter at the end bit. "Four thousand?"
Sco $11,999. For the guitar. That’s what their website says.
Its probably for the amp.
I love how we're all hearing different numbers
4 grand just to play it.
84k
Back in the day we had W48 St- one shop after another- I had Rudy build me a partscaster- wish I still had it. Carmine St and Southside in my opinion are the only real deal guitar shops left.
Congrats for the 100k!!! you are awsome Rhett
Wow. Great trip and great playing.
Most of New York's best guitar stores have been closed for 20 years now. Rivington Guitars is kinda nice on East 4th
I love Cindy's guitars. She makes cool guutars
Those were fuckin rad
Thanks for the tour mate, some really cool guitars there👊✌
Wow! Nice job! Super entertaining stuff man!
The Firebird through the Deluxe was my favorite. That Deluxe must have been wound up pretty high.
Agnesi wouldn’t have taken his jacket off 😉
Jacket of Authenticity
damjrok no
Agnesi turns my stomach the guy is a dirt bag yet so perfect for Gibson's spokes model they go together nicely.
Blackie James I’ve never met the guy. Regardless of the opinion you have of Agnesi, simple fact is he’s a phenomenal guitar player. Loved him at NRG
Yeah, whatever happened to that guy. Is he still at Gibson. Them stoner eyes 😳
Haha, I loved that ending...oh I’ve been there so many times!
So much fun to visit these great stores and dream!
Lol, i played the 295 from 53 at rudy’s last week 😁 such an amazing guitar!
So much mojo in this video. I love new guitars but old guitars make me weak in the knees.
Effing epic! Thanks for sharing this.
Love the "Mr Sandman" riff. Published when I was 1 year old and was my Mom's favorite song. Thanks.
Goodness do your lifestyles pay off! It can be chaotic and stressful. but you get to have some of the biggest opportunities because of it! I definitely envy you haha. Awesome to see!
Nice comment. I think that if you work 2-3 times harder than everyone else at whatever you've chosen to perfect, it always pays off.
You might never be rich, but you'll live a fulfilled life. More than most wage slaves can even begin to imagine.
@@cgavin1 Ahh thank ye very much. Those are truthful words indeed
@@RC32Smiths01 Ditto. These comments were sponsored by Nord VPN and Vikings: War of Clans. Kthnxbye.
Bro, you've made two cardinal mistakes. 1) Never, ever, ever, ever bring the wife with you to the guitar store; and 2) you are hunting for guitars in the most expensive city in the country. If you want to find vintage guitars or amps, you have to go where they live in the wild. As Joe Bonamassa says, you have to on "guitar safari." The best places to hunt for these treasures is in the small town classifieds and swap sheets. You live in a great part of the country for these sorts of hidden gems.
Last month, I drove over 100 miles to visit a man who was selling what he advertised as "old Fender bass amp." Turns out that it was an original 59 Fender Bassman combo amp. Not a reissue. It belonged to his brother who was killed in Vietnam. He kept it all these years and occasionally used it as a voice amp at the local BINGO hall. I couldn't make this crap up if I tried. The amp was in great shape. The tubes were all original and none had gone microphonic. The speakers and cones were all in great shape. The circuitry was all in good shape as well. It just needed a good cleaning.
But wait! There's more. I asked if he still had his brother's guitar. It turned out that he did.....an all original 52' Les Paul Gold Top complete with P90's and a Trapeze Tail Piece. It was in great shape all things considered. Very playable. He wouldn't sell it, though. I even offered him a respectable price consistent with the the going rate for such a treasure. He still wouldn't part with it, although he admitted that he was very tempted. It had too much sentimental value for him, which I completely understand. If he changes his mind, I'll be the first person he calls. I think that offer that I made is going to fester in his mind and he'll call in the next couple of weeks. Watch and see. *fingers crossed*
OR you marry to right woman that you don't have to hide stuff from...it's called not marrying the first woman who sleeps with you.
I just found your channel. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for the work
bahahaha the look on your face when you drop the "can we do that" is priceless
Id love a reclaimed wood guitar from that first store.
A Firebird looks good on you Rhett!
Terrific Vid Rhett!!!
Thanks man.... Awesome tour of some great guitar stores, saw a lot of interesting guitars. But, Cindy..... all that talent in such a cool, cute, person.... priceless.
