- In previous videos, we looked at part of the amazing vintage guitar, amp, microphone, and studio preamp collection of Steve Wilson, former amp tech for Stevie Ray Vaughn, and his good friend Greg Martin of the Kentucky Headhunters. Previously, we got to play Greg's 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard "Hank" Burst through a 1956 Gibson GA-20T amplifier, see some 1930s and 40s era Ludwig WFL drums, and some amazing amps. In this episode, we'll dive even deeper into Steve's collection and start pulling out some more vintage guitars and amps, including an original 1952 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top and a 1959 Fender Strat. Buckle up for another incredible journey down the ultimate gear rabbit hole!

Brad, this hss been a very nice series of videos!
I am grateful for your channel, your knowledge and your musical skills. Thanks. 👍😁
You should check out "Tom's Amps Detroit" he leases vintage amps to studios in the Detroit area. He's on Twitter @TomsAmpsDetroit ... his website and contact information is on his profile. I would have put the website link here but TH-cam flags those as spam sometimes
I can tell you were in heaven at this place
I love this place. I did press for Kentucky Headhunters about 2013? Also, took great pics of them at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville during the album release for my blog thenashvillebridge.com
Brad,,I can honestly say I have enjoyed,,,this video series,,,,🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Some guys have all the luck. What a great amount of vintage gear. Thanks Brad for this episode of amp hoarders.
“That right there is SRV’s dead skin cells in that amp’s dusty bunny... maybe even some of his toe jam and navel lint, but I can’t be 100% certain about that. But definitely his dead skin cells, for sure.” 😆
when you've been collecting as long as they have you compile a vast amount of gear. It doesn't hurt to know people who buy and sell also.
These folks are really great. They have have a bunch of interesting gear, they are very knowledgeable and they share their knowledge passionately
And the story behind everything!
My buddy here in Eastern Kentucky has a '53 Gibson single cut Prototype with P90s - purchased from the Army commissary when he was in the military. He installed a compensated bridge in place of the trapeze bridge. It's the best playing/sounding guitar I've ever played and I'm a Fender guy.
Nice!
Greg Martin is as great of a human being as one can meet.
I had the pleasure and privilege of visiting with him many times during the 20 or so Dallas guitar show for Mark Pollock, R.I.P.
Ed King too, R.I.P.
I remember Greg and me standing to the side of the stage at one Dallas show while Ed was jamming.
Ed’s wife/widow also is tops in my book.
I lmao when he said that piece had "the original dust"
That can be really cool, until you see the original cockroach that snuck in and set up shop
original mouse droppings lol
A candy store of dream gear, it doesn't get any better then this,what a pleasure to see all of this stuff,thanks for sharing,you never cease to amaze me Brad great video.
You keep me thinking about spending money I don’t have. Cool series, great people holy grail shit. Thanks Brad.
You're spot on about the Marshall Artiste, Brad. I was working on one recently, and I thought it sounded great. Yes, it wasn't as overdriven as a 800 or 900, but that's what I liked about it. If I recall, it was a gain stage short of the equivalent, more popular Marshalls of the day, so it's more than a mod. As you know, the more gain stages involved, the more noise we add on to the original guitar sound.
I am glad Steve purchased lots of those guitars and amps back in the 1970s.!! I used to cruise around 48th street in NYC and see so many of those old tube amps for $200
That's a crazy amount of gear. Incredible.
Brad I love your videos .You make me laugh in a year it's hard to find something to laugh about. 👍👍
Just Wow, got to love old gear.
Knowing, there are still legit musicians / collectors out there, make life worth living 🤘
The kicker: "i've got 10 of these, 3 of those, 6 of this one" lol
That 52 LP and Slab Strat are in awesome shape. Somebody must have been desperate to put acoustic guitar strings on an electric and kill the relief. Great episode Brad. Cool seeing all that vintage stuff.
Sorry I pressed the wrong button before I finished my post . That shop was McCormick's in Bath street where all the big bands would visit. A family music shop which is now sadly gone. At age 15 I would get off the bus on the way to work just to look in the window, nose pressed against the glass. Fond memories.
Brad, if you don't mind my saying this, I think you may have found a new direction in which to take your channel. You've already established yourself as a historian in terms of tubes amps, as well as your efforts to preserve them in working order; there is honestly no telling how many such treasure troves exist around the country. I fully realize that both your time and your budget are limited, but to the extent possible...more of this...please!
He does it from time to time already.
If someone knows Thomas Seiffert, the original owner of that 1959 Fender Strat, have him contact me! I’d like to see what he remembers about it.
Good idea 💡 cheers from Utah
Love hearing about those Michigan connections! This is a jem of a video. Thank you!
Guy had to sell his beloved gear to help pay for cancer treatment. That made me so sad! A damning indictment of the US health system. Feel so incredibly lucky to have our NHS in the UK . . .the gift that keeps on giving. Look after his gear man, it must have broken his heart to sell them. May be a nice touch to do a short feature on what he sold to you? Thanks for these vids, so much rock n roll history found in places like this. I'd be like a boy in a toy store. Hi from the UK.
it was heartbreaking to hear that.
if it had been NHS, he would have never gotten treatments at all. would have died in the waiting room.
I want to go to his estate sale .
I always tell my wife she’s gunna have one hell of a time selling my stuff after I die. I have a basement full of old amps.
You read my mind
@Return of the Native Understandably so - I am 67, and people of my era believed that more was better. Our parents grew up in a bad depression and many lost everything, and had to start all over again after WW2.
The instruments that I buy are mostly damaged and cost me around a hundred for something worth fixing. I hardly ever sell anything for gain, I prefer to sell very cheap to a kid with musical talent but no money, or I just give it for free. I find that to be rewarding, and I hope other hoarders out there are doing the same.
In the early 1900's there were over two thousand piano companies in America. How many now? I see free pianos every day on CL, even baby grands. If you are a music lover that has to make you ill .What a waste.
I could've watched this kinda stuff all day. Just amazing! Sad that it's over. Hope you do another one like this soon.
Brad, thanks for sharing the visit, you have some great rescources in your neighborhood.
We hope to see more of the guys and the stories and the collection.
Funny how you get so excited by the vintage stuff. So much history.
Thanks guys !!!
Amazing stuff, going to have to watch again...and again...
Thanks Brad this was awesome
A perfect episode, a curated tour of a treasure trove, could have watched all night, 10-- Q Brad and fellow hoarders!
Thank you Brad & thank those 2 wonderful human beings for taking the time to allow us all this moment. We might all never be so lucky, but technology allows us a bit of access we'd never had 20+ yrs ago. Its comforting to know people like this are still out there.
The hairs on my arm became a magnetic force field when I saw that no serial number Les Paul...then...the two knob silver face Fender bass amp. Wow, I almost cried. I got one from the Guitarist of The Surf Punks in California in 89. I used that with an Ibanez Artist to record an entire album in 92. Those 60s era Marshall heads, wow. I haven't made it all the way through. The Fender amp I traded at Highland Music in Birmingham, Alabama for a local build Tube 45 watt dual channel samamp from when Sam was building one offs in 2006. No regrets, I still have the samamp and a Soldano cab. I got a Dr. Z Stang Ray in 2009 for my low watt gigs. I still have that too.
Marshall went to PCB in 1973, and shipped US and Japan models with GE 6550A starting in '74.
I think I'd give anything just ti get to spend an hour in this place and could proceed to die happy...
Great video. These treasure troves are fun to watch. I'm glad folks hold on to this history.
Man, that collection is astounding!
incredible hang. i did some shows with the headhunters and greg was such a nice guy. didnt meet steve wonder if he was there
This is just like the guitar stores I grew up with. The internet killed most of those, and along with it, the internet killed the opportunity for a lot of younger players to experience the possibilities that are not products of the big box, super terrific, amazingly generic, stores of today. And if you noticed that little, practice, Fender amp...that no one is supposed to know about. Then you'll notice that the build quality blows away most of the crap on the market today, regardless of price or name.
It'd be a blast to hear yawl rock out in his studio! Thanks for the video Brad!!
What a treat. This was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Good, down-to-Earth guys! Man, just about any classic rock guitarist could LIVE in there and be happy as a clam. All that great stuff! WOW!
And I thought that I was a hoarder😃. Awesome collection, much better than a new kitchen or new bathroom for sure
The Guitologist, thanks mate. That intro brought back memories as a kid. Lol
O my goodness i am sitting here and play my fender frontman every day... i have start playing with 12 now i am 40..you have so many vintage amps man... i were so happy if i only hat one ...i need a beer...puhhh cheers
You and they are living the dream ,he bought the good quality gear they liked at the right time,before the "investor hoarders" moved in to that stuff, wish them nice folks all the luck.
You have the best guitar channel on YT. Seriously.
Man this is the most interesting stuff I've seen. Hope you keep going back & record more & more. It seems you have only just scratch the surface with these guys. Great people & it looks like a start of a great friendship.. Cheers from downunder.
That silvertone 1484 is my dream amp! 🤘🏻 love your videos man, this ones one of my top favorites! 🤘🏻
My favorite history is rock and blues history. These guys have a wealth of knowledge and probably have stories for days. You can tell the love every dial or knob on every amp/guitar.
people like you brad,,, because you a cool dude.... thanks for the upload..... ill see you next time,
LOL that Strat - omg I'd love to get my hands on that one. Such a nice original piece. And too funny how "Vintage" has changed over the years and that's now a five figure $$ guitar.
Thats like a kid in the candy shop - and the guy has all the candy. Very cool man.
Dude said he has 12 TV-7s! I can only afford a broken one.
Thank you so much for providing content like this.
Amazing the items some collect
Wow Brad what a treasure trove thanks for sharing,Cheers
I could listen to these guys talk about gear all day long. Brad, what is the value of this place? He knows of every piece that he owns and where its at too. Great stuff. Let us know when their is a garage sale. Lol.
I'll bet Brad couldn't sleep that night, LOL That collection is intense, :)
I smell the dust and the electronics from here - vintage
Nice touring with ya Brad ...
11:10 I had one of these amps, super bass 100w - what a sound. Especially when the tubes were on there way out.
Matt brock...amp guru to the stars
Nice work. Fun to watch. Love the M. Superleads, I got a 1976 Marshall Superbass, so bad ass. Cheers Bro, John in Bali
Jeez I was just grinning thru that entire video. Good people tend to find other good prople. That was fun to watch Brad's excitement.
Somehow I managed to watch all 3 of these vids out 9f order. DOH! Still, it was a great series and I really enjoyed the peek into history, the info, the banter and the playing. Thanks Brad
👍😎
Thanks Guys Honestly
👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺
Awesome memories!!!!
That was a good day the history that you walked into and got to see is so cool
Mr Brad Good lookin out for Stilwell. You are my peoples. So happy I was able to see The Devil went down to Georgia live. Damn I love these videos. Damn I really would’ve loved seeing that painting behind him at the end. *^Thanks gentlemen for allowing these videos to happen. Brad until next time.
So much fun .
The Premier was my first amp along with my 59 Jr. still have the Jr. but the amp gave out. My brother gave it to me back in 1969. I miss it so.
These guys are awesome! Thanks Brad!
cool! Love to show the experts my Fender Twin and see what they think.
Bruh, you guys just went by a Sunn Model T??!
I know. There’s just too much!
Yeah, I saw that and wow, that's way cool.
Some serious amp geeking goin on there. Thanks.
Great video in these dark lock down days here in Scotland. I'm of the generation of these guys you were with and all those amps takes e back to a music shop in Glasgow where I bought a blond Tremolux head for £25!
Love seeing other people's collections. The best part is when they let you dig. The thrill of the hunt! Great video man!
WOW!!!
This is Heaven!!!
Wow! I would to check out his gear. Great video bud. 😊
I absolutely love this!
i just happened upon an estate liquidation.. i picked up approx 12k vacuum tubes.. some NOS and some used... 17 tube testers, hickok, b&k, standard, precision, eico.. two tek oscilloscopes.. variacs, isotaps, power supplies, multiple VTVM's, capacitor, transistor checkers, ham transceivers.. linear amps.. tube guitar, hifi and pa amps.. and 145 boxes full of various vintage electronic parts and equipment.. pots, switches, transformers, caps, resistors, etc.. mcintosh parts.. it's a treasure trove of vintage electronic goodness.. it's overwhelming to just think of going through it all and trying to catalog what all i have.. this should be fun.. got it all dirt cheap too..
Some organization, some TLC for the good stuff, and maybe a dumpster for the junk and he's got a nice museum.
touching and playing all these RARE 50's and 60's guitars.. i would never wash may hands again !
you can tell these guys are proud of their collection
WOW, good company and equipment.😀
Awesome content Brad, thoroughly enjoyed!
These are some cool guys!
Can't get enough of this stuff!
Had a Premier twin 8 w matching 1x12 cab for my 64 SG jr, man I miss the 70s
This is amazing!!
@TheGuitologist. Hi Brad I've been watching you for about the same time as playing guitar . One year , loving it . And told myself find a guitar to be proud of when I can play . ( Self taught ? YT ... I can now riff and play my own songs ? ) LoL ok . Here's what I found .
My New 1988 Fender® Graffiti Yellow Stratocaster® Plus. E 483451
This color was originally slated for the Jeff Beck Stratocaster and reportedly was based on the color of the hot rod in the movie American Graffiti.
2 Fender Gold LACE SENSOR #027666 / Black Pickups , neck and middle
1 Fender Red LACE SENSOR # 029761 Black Pickup , Bridge
LSR Roller Nut / Hipshot Tremsetter
/ The neck is dated 2/29/88 and is stamped S. BUEHL .
Always enjoy your content and opinions . Keep it up you have lots of support . And God bless you man .
Congratulations on the guitar!
Congrats on the Graffiti Yellow strat indeed! Closest GY strat I had was a partscaster with a HSS MIM GY body. The late 80's example remains in high reserve on my want list. The GY Powerhouse strat is a big WANT as well. John Milner's 1932 canary yellow Ford in American Graffiti is also one of my fav movie cars of all time. Enjoy that outstandingly exceptional score my man! Rite on and rock on! \m/

@@FLOODtoFIRE right on right on I can relate to a lot you were saying no question. I myself have been playing for 36 years while 37 this year started when I was 14 I had a month of lessons and after about a month and the chords g c and d I was listening to my records yeah way back when 33 and 1/2's, and I remember I'm pretty sure it was an Ozzy song with Randy rhoads in it and I was like wait a minute it sounds like he's going here and then here and then I started figure it out and come find out, I played by ear so I decided I didn't need no more lessons so I quit lessons after about a month and went on and learned everything else myself. They tried to teach me music in school you know notes that kind of crap I rejected it I refuse to learn it I didn't need it I could just listen to something and figure it out but I kind of wish now that I did study it and learned how to read music actually...Hindsight....you know ....20/20. Man I cannot even begin to go through all the guitars I've owned and amps and pedals...if I kept every guitar and amp and pedal that I owned I could open a couple Guitar centers and not go into bankruptcy you know what I'm saying? I've owned quite a few, quite a few... highlights of what I have now is I have a 2016 Epiphone limited edition Les Paul 1955 outfit it's the flat black one with Gibson p90s from the factory all gold Hardware, Gibson Lifton style case... brown with pink inside she's a stunner. And the other one is another Epi probably the rarest Epiphone that I've ever owned it is a 2003 Epiphone Les Paul classic 3. Three is designation for three humbuckers that's right three humbuckers on a classic model it's wine red with flame and they only made 177 of them they're quite quite rare I've only seen two others and one I believe is on reverb now but that one is a Heritage Cherry finish and the guy started out askin $1,000 for it.. I'm also known by my friends as the "Devil of Deals"... I swear to you I don't find these deals they find me...I have a knack for finding killer killer deals like that rare Paul I just told you about I traded a partscaster for that... a MIM partscaster! yes sir. But I've owned USA Gibson's USA fenders through the years I own a Gibson SGJ 2014 120th anniversary edition right now that I bought for $150....not a typo .....$150.... with case... But I'm at work now I could ramble on and on myself hahaha if you're on Facebook or something my name is Mark Sebella, hit me up with a friend request then we'll do some talking and did you really do that whole stick holy Christ hahaha right on and rock the F**k on brother! Keep that Rubberside down and that shiny side up! Catch you on the flip! 🤘
Awesome video. You're like a kid in a candy store. I could hang out there for a few days and never get board
Very cool Brad. that was 👍
Isn't it nice when you meet someone twisted similar to yourself? I love peoples junk treasures. Thank you Brad! Keep at it!
What a place!! , beats Cleveland's rock and roll hall of fame
LOL - love your opening title riff on the station ident for Thames Television.
Wow, what history with those guys. I'm impressed Brad, you do know your stuff... I did sound for a local band in Langley, B.C. in the early 80's, re-wired the board to make it work right... then got into Satellite electronics and lost the "band"... Kids and stuff...
Great episode.
great vids man love seeing this stuff and hearing from these guys
Gosh look at all that stuff and in the cabinets too ...random Tremolux chassis ha ha' ...original 52 gold top w o w ...how did you not get locked in there' ...great video.
I could wander around in there for weeks.
Dang Brad, we've lost so many beloved musicians in 2020. Seems like it all started with Neil Peart in January...
Jeez man... those old plexi amps are worth their weight in gold... Jeez man this begs to be paired with the burst
The right guy owns both.
