They didn't even consider looking at anything Gibson, or Fender... and not anything even slightly aged or "relic'd".... and the big guys wonder why they're not capturing the younger audience... helps to listen!
Fender does a better job than Gibson with attracting younger artists. I'd make the argument that Gibson is the Harley Davidson of Guitars. Yesterday's tech with tomorrow's prices.
Gibson must be running out of boomers to buy their wares like Harley did (resulting in their release of the Street), and now, through Epiphone, they've put out the Inspired By Gibson line with the real headstock shape and top quality, but for a dumb premium price that still can't compete with other companies.
@fallenstard I dont understand why they don't just listen to their target audience.... go ask them what they want... and give them that thing.... it's really that simple lol
Andertons is my local music store and I watch loads of local bands. 95% of guitarists and bassists play Fender. The exception would be metal bands. But you can go see any local band or open mic and it’s a sure bet that if the guitarist is under 30 they’ll be playing a tele.
Man this was amazing, Both of them are primed to be amazing musicians. What I really loved is Lee's attitude in the video. Not patronizing but actually talking to them as friends!! Good man!
One of the best Andertons videos....Ever! I saw the first video with these 2 smashing kids playing Eastcoast guitars, which was great, but this is even better. Well done to Lee to let them run wild in the shop and choose their ideal rigs. I also totally agree with both of them about relict guitars, to quote the young lady.....'If you love something, you should look after it' ❤
Little bit jealous! I worked for months minimum wage after school when I was 15 for a Gibson Flying V. I almost had the money saved up when Xmas came around and I asked my parents for the rest of the money but they thought it was a waste. I had to wait until February. Still the best $600 I ever spent!
Hey Captain, I want to thank you for all your hard work that you put into making the vids!! I love watching them and my wife watches them with me!! We live in Hayesville North Carolina,USA. I’m hoping to visit the UK within the next two years? I have ALWAYS been fascinated with history,not just of my country but yours too!! I have already told my wife that I HAVE TO VISIT Andertons!! I have been in the music industry since I was 15 and I’m 49 now so I’m familiar with the inner workings of a music store. I used to work at our local music store/recording studio. I have always looked forward to visiting the UK and by Gods grace I am able to plan my trip. To give you an idea where I live, I live about 4-4.5 hours southeast from Nashville and the Gibson guitar factory, and about 2hrs northwest of Atlanta Ga. I can’t express my gratitude for the videos!! I always refer to them as a good source of info for my purchases. I hope to get a XL Andertons t-shirt that I can wear around and advertise for you guys!! So I will be buying myself some apparel lol. Listen, I wish you and all the Andertons family a safe and blessed New Year’s!! MayGod bless you and keep you safe
These kids are the best. Well done kids!!! Love the kids' stance on "Relic" guitars, even though I prefer a little roughed up look for mine :) It's nice to hear kids even thinking about taking care of something. Well done to the parents for that.
Esperanza Spalding is a very cool influence. She plays a lot of jazz so, of course, Lee has not heard of her. Jazz is an Anderton's blind spot. Those kids are adorable and already accomplished players. Cheers.
I agree! Love Esperanza Spalding, and jazz is definitely a blind spot for Andertons! Lovely to see young people being endorsed and given room to share their talent with us on this channel.
Lee this was cool of you. Even adults would love to have this opportunity. Nice that you did it for kids. Also, giving them plugs for their channels was cool.
Are these kids Filipino in some way? Their names are so connected to our language! How lucky they are to have the chance to visit the legendary Andertons-wow!
Our mother is a Filipina. We are hoping to have some shows in the Philippines soon. Hopefully we will have more followers by then 🇵🇭. We are so lucky to live walking distance away from Andertons all of the staff are great and they have been so helpful on our journey
@@marikitrocks Wow, that's amazing to hear. I'm sure many of us would love to see your shows when the time comes. And living so close to Andertons? That's such an incredible blessing, especially with such a supportive team around you. Wishing you all the success in your journey. I’ll definitely be cheering for you.. 🤘
Hi, 44yo child checking in, and I hate relic'ing too... Happy to fly to the UK for your next installment for my dream guitar. (These kids are wonderful, great idea for a video - Cheers from the US)
Im 19 and Brian Setzer is my idol, I clicked and hoped there was a Brian Setzer Gretsch, that magenta sparkle is insane. You even started about him. He’s insanely good
What fun! I can’t wait to get my granddaughter (3) started on her journey, if that’s something she wants for herself in another year or two! Pink or purple, please.
mockingbird and soldano is a fantastic choice. a mockingbird has always been my dream guitar, specifically one with a reverse headstock and a hardtail bridge.
Im 46 and I'm not a fan of road worn gear either. Im also a Gibson and Marshall fan. I was rasied up in church. I love God the Farther and Jesus. Yet I like rock music mostly. At church 99% had Fender gear. So most Fender's don't give me a WOW I want that guitar and amplifier. Where Gibson and Marshall does have the WOW factor to me. Good video, great to see young people really into playing music.
This is where I got my Yamaha PortableGrand DGX-670 Piano from on the 29th September 2022… and now, surprisingly, 2 years later… we are in the same band! The world gets smaller by the second!
WONDERFUL ! Helping kids get access to good instruments. There are lots of people, like me, who gave to other children the 1st instruments that they once gave to their own children ... sometimes via a school. Quite some of the very affordable 1st instruments are still very good instruments after giving them a little attention (neck adjustment, a new set of strings). They could be given to children who want to learn music via organizations helping families in need.
I got to do something like this when I was about 14. My music teacher at school was close friends with Doug of Blackmachine Guitars fame. During a summer school they both brought in Mesa Triple Rec and Peavey 5150 half stacks and a host of Blackmachine guitars. Needless to say all it did was make me more addicted to everything guitar related and permanently damage my bank account.
There needs to be a lot more of this in the world for musicians Lee I know you got resources more than a lot of us and it's up to you guys to keep the kids interested in music give away guitars, give away lessons, build rehearsal spaces for bands (huge issue) and maybe find a way to not make it cost 600 a month lol. (That parts tough) but there should be some kind of scholarship program that could help pay for these kinds of things and if there's not we need to push for that too. The arts are fading in favor of computer operators and i fear for a world with no musical expression made from raw instruments and people coming together. Cheers mate!
The Monkees made my parents get me a Hep Cat Tele looking thing. I slept with it and dreamed of Silvertones in the Simpsons Sears catalogue. 1966 was no 2024 for gear choice. This was awesome.
Well done kids for saying relic'ed guitars are 'wrong' :D ........I'm ancient (68) and totally agree with you!. Only a fool would pay extra for a smashed up expensive guitar.
Yep. You wouldn’t do it with a car or anything else. “Here’s your new Tesla, we’d like another £10,000 to have Jimmy take a hammer and a belt sander to it”
There are so many bass players that I am inspired by. Because i play other instruments and sing, Esperanza Spalding is one of my main influences, as I try to decide what kind of artist I really want to be 🎤🎸🎹🎷🥁
This is an awesome premise for a long-term video series. Andertons could (should) sponsor groups of kids like this, and encourage them to take up an instrument, and start a band, etc....Maybe some sort of "junior rockers club" where members get exclusive discounts on beginner's equipment, free quick format lessons (15 minutes) and like a free set, or 5 GBP off a set of guitar strings once a month... And all for kids 18 and younger...And possibly, with parental permission, a chronicle of their progress on video. without the next generation of musicians, what does the world have left?
Marikit is absolutely right. Deliberately beating instruments up to make them look old (vintage) is rather silly. And for people to pay a premium price for such instruments is even crazier.
It’s not about them just looking vintage. It’s about it feeling and playing like a well gigged guitar. I own a vintage guitar from the 70s-80s as well as fender Rhodes. So I understand people wanting their gear to feel like mine. Who has thousands or years to wait. Stop judging others man.
Talk to her in 10-20 years and a lot of her opinions about everything especially looks and taste might be very different, I know that’s the case got me and most people I know
It's still only an opinion. And it's just as valid as the opposite view. Personally, I love the looks of a well used guitar, I own 70s and 80s Les Pauls and love the battle scars they have. But above all, I love the feel of those used guitars. Relicing might seem weird at first, but I do understand why people like it. Just like I understand how people love their instruments to look as pristine as possible. There is no right or wrong.
Video idea: take four kids and make a band, one on drums, one on vocals, one on bass, and one on guitar. Let them go around the store like these kids, and start a band.
They didn't even consider looking at anything Gibson, or Fender... and not anything even slightly aged or "relic'd".... and the big guys wonder why they're not capturing the younger audience... helps to listen!

Oh and the most popular bass is a Jazz, although Marcus Millers are very popular too (and amazing value).
15 year old bass player, "Yeah, I'm in three bands." That sounds about right.
Any chance you’ll do this for a 29 year old 😅😅😅
Yeah and 25 yo that looks 50
Is the 29 Yr old called JoEy by chance lol
If you need two guys i happen to be 29 as well😅
35 here :D may i join?
44 year olds need dream guitars, too
Man this was amazing, Both of them are primed to be amazing musicians. What I really loved is Lee's attitude in the video. Not patronizing but actually talking to them as friends!! Good man!
Lee is amazing. So friendly and fun to be with 🎸
@marikitrocks I'm sure he is. Keep up the good work!
@@soumakbasak9848 will do. Thanks for your support and encouragement.
Yo Captain, you need to have more of these videos featuring the our younger up and coming rock stars! Absolutely loved it keep up the good work.
How about some kids who actually need some financial support. These guys reek of the private school aura that opens doors for them with ease.
"I give up..." .... "As you should!"... LOVE IT 😂😂 She's awsome! Great fun guys & great playing all round. 😎
"Sister!" 😂😂😂
I’m so happy to see these two back. Ushering in the next generation. You’re a legend, sir.
When that young dude said ‘Hendrix’ 🙌. That’s parenting done right 👏👏👏
I love that he picked that Mockingbird like a boss.
It’s an amazing instrument 🎸 Love it
Guildford should be proud of these two. Great guests.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and encouragement 🎸👍🏽🙏🏽

How wonderful to see young people so engaged with learning their instruments and having fun making music with guitar and bass.
Little bit jealous! I worked for months minimum wage after school when I was 15 for a Gibson Flying V. I almost had the money saved up when Xmas came around and I asked my parents for the rest of the money but they thought it was a waste. I had to wait until February. Still the best $600 I ever spent!
A flying V costs like 2.5k. How did u get it so cheap?
@sarah_mcuHomie is about 70 now, and it equates to the same money, with inflation.

Wow, had I been given that experience when I was 16 I don't think I would ever have left the shop! Rock on people!
She’s spot on with her attitude towards the relic look 🤣 Totally agree with her. 🙂
Thank you 🙏🏽🎸👍🏽
Nice to see finally young people playing rock !🎉 talented kids
Just GREAT. After 20+ years with GC, this is just ... Great! I live in L.A. and remember BC Rich in the day. And wouldn't mind the red one.
Great to see them both enjoying playing music together, I’m sure mum and dad are very proud (and rightly so) 👏👏👏👏
These kids are the best. Well done kids!!! Love the kids' stance on "Relic" guitars, even though I prefer a little roughed up look for mine :) It's nice to hear kids even thinking about taking care of something. Well done to the parents for that.
Finally, the new generation will put an END to the RELIC FAD!
BTW, has anyone tried the RELIC Underwear? They come with skid-marks, so feel worn in.
Esperanza Spalding is a very cool influence. She plays a lot of jazz so, of course, Lee has not heard of her. Jazz is an Anderton's blind spot. Those kids are adorable and already accomplished players. Cheers.

Prince used to go see her perform a lot. Shows how good she is.
You need to do more of these videos in the future!
Great vid(s). Marikit and Makisig were great, lovely attitudes and temperaments and a great reflection on their family.
Thank you for your kind comments :)
That “you should” was great! Love the laughs on those two. Great video.
That blue might be my new favorite sparkle finish.
I’ve been waiting for this vid since I first saw them on the channel! They are both so cool and humble!
Thank you Adam. Lee is an amazing host and made us so comfortable
Lee this was cool of you. Even adults would love to have this opportunity. Nice that you did it for kids. Also, giving them plugs for their channels was cool.

Wonderful to see everyone having fun! I tell you what I need is a tutorial on that BC rich, so many switches!
Awesome! Nothing better than seeing the smile on young musicians' faces!

BRILLIANT! Absolutely love these two, I thought Lee was brilliant with them too, not remotely patronising, just nice and conversational. Love it.
Thjanks for your kind words 😀
Excellent, not just Blues Dad's buying gear.
Jimi....good lad
Pure gold. Especially the bit in the end about relic'd guitars😂. I love my relic'd strat but I also love their honesty. Keep rocking fellas!
Those kids rip! Awesome jam sessions, guys!
This is one of my favorite vids!! EXCELLENT JOB!!
Probably the best Andertons video ever.
im young and i love les paul, the vintage look is so awesome and its my dream guitar
Intelligent, well spoken, and very talented kids. Props to them and their parents.
Thanks so much for your kind comments 🙏🏽🤘🏽🎸
music to my ears! well done lee, great video! a couple of great kids
Most fun I've had watching a video on youTube in a long time! Love these kids!
I love these two. Respect their playing and respect their respect. Glitter vs Relic debate put to rest 😄
What fun! I can’t wait to get my granddaughter (3) started on her journey, if that’s something she wants for herself in another year or two! Pink or purple, please.
I appreciate the content you guys make and am going to start ordering to support you. Please keep it up!
This was so fun! Great talent and wonderful personalities. Hope we can see them again on Anderton's and all the best in your careers! Peace
Thank you so much, Greg 🙏🏽🤘🏽🎸
Marikit's stance on relic models is perfect!
mockingbird and soldano is a fantastic choice. a mockingbird has always been my dream guitar, specifically one with a reverse headstock and a hardtail bridge.
those acoustic guitars on the wall👌🎶😍
Wonderful talented and articulate kids. That gives me hope.
And hopefully helping to put an end to the RELIC GUITAR FAD for good!
How long did the ACID WASHED DENIM phase drag on for?
That's what a 25,000 pound a year private education get you in the UK. The encouragement and facilities to excel.
Best video of 2024! These kids are amazing, my faith in the future of music is restored! cheers!
So kind of you. Thank you
Awesome!
Love the two of them.
And the outro playing is what we call in german 'das ist mal ein richtig fettes Brett'.
😊
I agree
Marikit means gorgeous; magnificent; exquisite; beautiful
This was fun. I'd like to see more kids getting to try their dream gear if possible.
I’m with these two on relic guitars. Cool if it’s old and genuine!
They play really well. Also, great to see them choose such cool guitars!
Thank you so much 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

Bought my dream guitar this month. PRS Custom 24 in Carroll blue and gold hardware.
These kids are nailing it!
This is where I got my Yamaha PortableGrand DGX-670 Piano from on the 29th September 2022… and now, surprisingly, 2 years later… we are in the same band! The world gets smaller by the second!
Every guitarist needs a BC Rich Mockingbird, ST is relatively affordable while still having all the control options
The teen squeak in their laughter is so funny. Talented kids!
😊Thank you
Sweet kids having fun and that's what music is all about.
An amazing thing to do, to let two budding rock stars have some fun. Brill 👍
We were so privileged and really enjoyed the chance to try different guitars and spend time with Captain Anderton and team 🎸
That was awesome to watch
Great Video , Some talent there and lee you can hold your own !!
WONDERFUL !
Helping kids get access to good instruments.
There are lots of people, like me, who gave to other children the 1st instruments that they once gave to their own children ... sometimes via a school.

Great playing guys! Some of our guys were London School of Rock originals. They're awesome players! 🤩
We both playes on SoR Tours; not at the same time though :)
That ending about the relic guitars is so funny 🤣🤣🤣 I think Gibson should start selling ones with "factory made" neck repairs 😊
I got to do something like this when I was about 14. My music teacher at school was close friends with Doug of Blackmachine Guitars fame.

Great to see talented youngsters on here. Remember to act your shoe size, not your age, and with the relics Lee, that's you told, dude!
That outro was really bad ass, loved it.
thank you.
Awesome, kids are rockin' it! Also, the best "relic" opinion ever! "No, just No".
The bass is awesome superb choice
The Monkees made my parents get me a Hep Cat Tele looking thing. I slept with it and dreamed of Silvertones in the Simpsons Sears catalogue. 1966 was no 2024 for gear choice. This was awesome.
Great to see the next gen of guitarists
This was super cool. Loved every bit of it
This is what's it's all about!! 👍👍👍👍
Awesome! Nice shop.
Well done kids for saying relic'ed guitars are 'wrong' :D ........I'm ancient (68) and totally agree with you!. Only a fool would pay extra for a smashed up expensive guitar.
Yep. You wouldn’t do it with a car or anything else. “Here’s your new Tesla, we’d like another £10,000 to have Jimmy take a hammer and a belt sander to it”
@@southsidejohnny5624 That made me laugh :D
can't believe the girl didnt pick geezer butler or les claypool, both amazing bassists
There are so many bass players that I am inspired by. Because i play other instruments and sing, Esperanza Spalding is one of my main influences, as I try to decide what kind of artist I really want to be 🎤🎸🎹🎷🥁
Such great kids
It has glitter 🤘Hell yeah it does! MM Stingray FTW 💪🤙🙌
I enjoy a good relic shaming 😊, all in good fun.
This is an awesome premise for a long-term video series. Andertons could (should) sponsor groups of kids like this, and encourage them to take up an instrument, and start a band, etc....Maybe some sort of "junior rockers club" where members get exclusive discounts on beginner's equipment, free quick format lessons (15 minutes) and like a free set, or 5 GBP off a set of guitar strings once a month... And all for kids 18 and younger...And possibly, with parental permission, a chronicle of their progress on video. without the next generation of musicians, what does the world have left?
I think that is a great idaea 😀

I own a vintage guitar from the 70s-80s as well as fender Rhodes. So I understand people wanting their gear to feel like mine. Who has thousands or years to wait. Stop judging others man.
No I don’t own a relic
Talk to her in 10-20 years and a lot of her opinions about everything especially looks and taste might be very different, I know that’s the case got me and most people I know
It's a big world plenty of room for everyone nobody is absolutely right! Unless you're a mathematician.😊
It's still only an opinion. And it's just as valid as the opposite view. Personally, I love the looks of a well used guitar, I own 70s and 80s Les Pauls and love the battle scars they have. But above all, I love the feel of those used guitars. Relicing might seem weird at first, but I do understand why people like it. Just like I understand how people love their instruments to look as pristine as possible. There is no right or wrong.
I'm 55 and I agree with the kids. The only relic-ing should be done with your own fingers and time.
We need another vid where the captain, Pete and the kids try to learn dive bombs and other rock/metal techniques!
I love this video! Wonderful idea and very cool kids. I wish them the best!
Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏽🎸🤘🏽
greetings from Paraguay actually!
Hello. The drummer in my global band is from Paraguay 🥁
@marikitrocks awesome! Whats the name of your band? So I can go listen
love it. make it dream guitar kids episode 2
🙏🏽👍🏽🤘🏽
I have a Sterling, maybe one day I’ll get a Music Man.
They also playable and sound great 🎸🎸
Video idea: take four kids and make a band, one on drums, one on vocals, one on bass, and one on guitar. Let them go around the store like these kids, and start a band.
That girl is never going to be short for gigs
“Both these guys” her face like bruh im here for the guitars 😂😂
😂
Great video, sir! Fantastic!
5:57 yes! Esperanza Spaulding is incredible
That was wholesome!
