I am so happy for the fan who got that guitar. You could see at the end he’s a true fan and he was doing the material justice. Props to you my brother it isn’t easy. I hope Buckethead is in good health. I think he is just not materialistic. He is a guitar player, not a collector. And mad respect as always to Natter.
If I'll be able to come in UK, getting in touch with this true fan and visiting him just to see he guitar with my own eyes and maybe play the Soothsayer intro if I wash my hands in chicken blood first, lol, that's on my list. Lol. If Brian sees this video, he will be happy. Fantastic playing.
Beautiful guitar and bit of history! Good to see it is good hands mate, that was an excellent rendition of Big Sur Moon. I'm excited to have an action figure he gave me, can only imagine how you feel. Congrats
Natter, thanks for putting this together. My friends and I went to a show where this guitar was used. Congrats on the purchase too! And thanks for playing Big Sur Moon on it, that is literally the song that got hooked on the Bucket.
Seriously thank you so much for all your uploads on his music. It literally keeps me going every week & month at work or driving home. Finding my favorite parts or songs and listening on repeat is happiness.
Definite Congratulations to Chris ! Very happy to see someone like Chris get this guitar! As he will obviously play it ! 🤘🏻 thanks for sharing man ! 🙂 I hope You get the next one up for sale Brother! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 ( whenever that happens) i’d love to see you hammer on some more Buckethead covers on one of his actual guitars! 🎸 you are a perfect person to own one of these bad boys ! It would get the hell played out of it just like Bucket himself did! 😄 I’m sure that’s Exactly what he would want🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 hope you’re having a great day 🇨🇦bro 🙂.
This makes me a little emotional. Seen him play this. Always wanted one. So nice to see it end up in someone’s hands that cherishes it and will play it.
What an awesome video! I would be blown away just to hold one of Buckethead's guitars one day. Thank you once again Natternet for sharing another great video and another great story.
Yep, unfortunately the service from Bucketheadpikes (not for Chris) has been horrendous , especially the last few years and has pretty much caused irreversible damage (people who will never buy again/stopped being fans because of it). It's pretty much the only occasion where you can say Buckethead has sadly let his fans down. Hopefully it can all be resolved one day, but its not looking promising, especially when he continues to add to the backlog.
@@NatterNet true. I was always hyped for new CD‘s or LP‘s….but since he just took my money and nerver respond. Never business again. If you do something like that, less is more. It has grown over his head.
So glad to see that it's clearly in good hands. This guy will treat it with the respect it deserves, which is to be shredded on, and not just mounted in a glass case.
Dude… just reading the title made me tear up a bit. Geez I’m sensitive these days ! But, it’s because knowing this guitar has a good home with you. We all know it’s in great hands. Congratulations on your purchase. You own a piece of real history. I am happy and proud of you. I wouldn’t even have the heart to restring it or ever alter it. Love ya man! Aghhh!!! So happy for you. Bucket is such a great man.
Enhorabuena por la adquisición, disfruta y tocala mucho para que salga toda la magia que seguro que tiene en su interior. Que las musas te acompañen. 🤟🎸🎸👌
I'm soooo glad the guitar 🎸 went to someone that has respect and HIGH regards for the sensational BUCKETHEAD ... That particular guitar 🎸🎶 holds a piece of magical moments for me ! 🙏💗😎👊🔥💯
Natternet! Quick question/request. You know how in the Young Buckethead DVD, there is a wristwatch Buckethead wears in a number of the segments. For example when he plays for his close family and friends in a backyard. After this period , Bucket isn’t ever seen again wearing a wristwatch. Any ideas about what the make and model of the wristwatch might be? Is there any reason why Bucket stopped wearing a watch. If you feel it’s a topic that is research and video worthy, I love to see what you find. Thanks!
Well thats certainly a different question not a clue on the make/model though, the footage is so old and grainy that it could be anything. Im guessing a wristwatch didn't really suit the Buckethead 'look'. It kinda looks like a black casio from the 80s, I remember them being popular because they had a stopwatch, Im pretty sure I had one just for that reason 😁
Wow you are so blessed to have such an amazing guitar, with actual footage of him playing it AND it being the guitar in his most viral clip of playing Soothsayer. I might actually say it's cooler than the KFC guitar, so you got it for a steal. I wish I could own something of his one day.
Congrats Natter!!! 🙌🏻💙 This guitar has for sure seen some thangs, been in the greatest of hands & has traveled around the world! Good to see what you look & sound like too! That guitar looks good on ya! 🤩 & You sound great! Great job! I am living vicariously through you in this exciting feeling of having your hands on a personal Bucket classic! Neato fella! Neato! 🥳🎉🎊🪣🎸🎊🎉🥳
Thanks for all those kind words.... but the person isn't me 😆 otherwise I'd be thanking myself at 6:44 The buyer was Chris from the UK, his social media links are in the description
Gig bag freak out,But then to see it dirty and tattered. Was awesome! This thing is Really His Guitar! I was So exited ! Then you played it. I was in a trance ! cheers all.
Great video, thanks Natternet! Congratulations to the new owner. I have two questions: 1. Do you hide the guitar from the cleaning lady? 2. Does the guitar play all Bucketsongs by itself? 😂
Has anyone had issues with getting their order on the site? I ordered a couple signed CDs but after some research apparently some are still waiting for orders over a year later.
Anyone who has bought items from Buckethead's pike website will have a chuckle at that question. Unlike the buyer of this guitar who's order was shipped out pretty much immediately, they are notoriously bad at shipping and have been especially bad the last 3 years to the point Buckethead himself had to send out an email to address it (read here th-cam.com/users/postUgkx2e07XXDaGqJOZ0Gke73MnlyN8BASt40x ). Unfortunately, even though a few items have shipped recently, there's still years worth of unshipped items, some even going back to 2017. Hopefully it can all be resolved but at this point we're talking thousands of unshipped items and a huge backlog. 😟
@@NatterNet Cheers 🍻 Chris ! You are one Lucky 🍀 Dude! I have no doubt whatsoever 😮 that is without question the same exact guitar in those vids Brother ! 🤟🏻thanks NatterNet 🪄for helping Chris to nail down which one it actually is! you can’t fake battle damage like that !

He deserves it ! And I must admit I’d love to see him shred some more BH covers on one of Buckets actual owned and stage played guitars 🎸 😊
Selling some guitars might help alleviate some other pressures. It has been a great couple months, music-wise. Hopefully he is enjoying things and doing what he wants to do.

All Bucket fans are happy this guitar is in good hands.
It's legendary at this point. 🤟🤟
The guitar has definitely found the perfect home. Absolutely fantastic playing!! I'm sure Buckethead must've smiled seeing this video. Keep it up!!!
I would love it to see Buckethead smiling

I'm so happy for you, rock on friend.
Thank you NatterNet and thanks to the Gentleman who bought Buckethead's guitar. It was great to see it and hear you play it!!
Hearing Buckethead's guitar and sound, That is just crazy. Be well BH and NN
That’s rad 🤘🏿

Congrats dude. You hit the lottery. Playing Buckethead's actual guitar in front of a Zappa lic. plate and wearing a Residents shirt. You the man!!!!
Dude i seen him play that guitar before live! You scored!
You deserve this and I am happy for you! 😁🙌
This makes me a little emotional. Seen him play this. Always wanted one. So nice to see it end up in someone’s hands that cherishes it and will play it.
Extremely cool.
Wow. My late sister prob tapped that very toggle button a few times at the 2011 RVA show. She scored a Jack Sparrow action figure, too. RIP
I had a wide grin watching Chris play the guitar. Great guitar with history finding a new home in the right hands.
What an awesome video! I would be blown away just to hold one of Buckethead's guitars one day. Thank you once again Natternet for sharing another great video and another great story.
This was the 1st "unboxing" video I have ever watched! I loved it!
After hearing you with it at the end there I can see it went to the right person. That sounded very impressive.
Super happy for you mate! Keep rocking!
Great playing brother the guitar has gone to the right person.
