This is my favorite Rig Rundown ever. I love how less than half way through the video it seems like they are done going through the gear, and Jimmy says that he can take them backstage to show them more gear. He wasn't kidding...holy crap! It's cool to see such a seemingly nice guy be that enthusiastic about gear.
This was a lot more enjoyable to watch than the Rig Rundowns of current bands in the touring circuit who are all like "yeah I don't really know.. my tech does all that.."
without a doubt the best Rig Rundown Premier has ever done. Vivino's joy in describing the guitars is evident, sprcially later in the last segment. If you love guitars, as I do, pass this on to your friends.
This was one of the best rig rundowns!!! Jimmy Vivino is so cool and such an awesome player. You can really tell how much he loves talking about guitars....and Bigsbys!! ...and Rebecca Dirks is pretty cool too!
I just started watching like the first 30 seconds and just laughed so hard when he was saying how Conan has better gear than he does, and he helped him pick it! Reminds me of myself and my much more privileged friends as we build our pedal boards :P
This is seriously one of the best--I know it's a little older, but I LOVE that you guys showed all the backstage/rehearsal and let Jimmy and Mike go into such detail. I saw Conan filmed in Chicago and cannot stress how incredibly talented the band is. What you see on TV is 1/100th of their serious talent.
Is it spending time w/ RD (sorry for the cheap shot) or are these guys feeling honored to be asked to rundown their rigs? The humility and general enthusiasm with which they conduct themselves; and why not, how awesome to be playing for Conan (guitar freak) for 19 yrs. Died and went to heaven.
I love that they did an overview of Mike's gear, too. I started playing the bass, and moved to guitar... which I play more of now. The bass is still my first love.
I love watching rundowns where the person has an unusual situation. It gives a great perspective. Jimmy's so open and anecdotal. And Rebecca is adorable so that's a recipe for success
I like these rig rundowns a lot but this one, in particular, was just amazing! i really liked seeing and hearing about jimmy and mike's stuff. just great!
For those curious the exact slide he has is from a cool company called Songhurst Rockslide who make some of the best slides around. I have two of them myself and they are awesome
Jimmy and Mike seem like salt of the earth cats who just love music and gear. What a great Program....I had never heard of it before, now I can't wait to start checking out the rigs!!!!
Ahh man I love this, I watch Coco every night so seeing Jimmy talk about his gear and seeing behind the stands was just awesome Thanks Rebecca! (Marry me)
Haha, I love Jimmy, just after the 25 minute mark ''that was my one indulgence'', in a back studio full of boutique and vintage equipment. I know he probably has a load of stuff given to him, but still, a fair few indulgences nonetheless. =P Beast of a player. And Mike Merrit is incredibly awesome too, what a nice guy.
I love the electric pencil sharpener sitting on top of Jimmy V,s Brown Princeton amp around 21:00.Sorry it was Barry's Princeton The old 70,s electric sharpener .
Jimmy Vivino is a very friendly guy. Up until Conan moved his show away from New York, Jimmy was Willie Nile's lead guitarist. Willie Nile has been touring and performing since the 1970s. Amazing poet and singer songwriter combining the writing style of Bob Dylan with the rock edge of Cheap Trick and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Which guitarists say that?
@@ryanperson6307 many might not say that exact...but many have an attitude...I don't care. I don't know. This was cool to watch!
JIMMY VIVINO HIT ME!
TWO TIMES
THREE TIMES
ONEHUNDRET TIMES
Elite reference
*They can't count that high*
What an awesome Rig Rundown. Jimmy and the guys have some absolutely amazing guitars there.
without a doubt the best Rig Rundown Premier has ever done. Vivino's joy in describing the guitars is evident, sprcially later in the last segment. If you love guitars, as I do, pass this on to your friends.
I'd love to spend a day with this guy talking about music and guitars. He seems awesome, and knows his stuff.
Jimmy he is my favourite guitarist
A rig rundown with Conan would be hilarious.
This is one of the best rundowns of all time! This is how it should be done. So much passion for the gear. Good job Rebecca.
This is hands down my favorite rig rundown I've seen.
Talk about the greatest gig in the world. Being a member of the band of a talk show has got to be the perfect gig.
This was one of the best rig rundowns!!! Jimmy Vivino is so cool and such an awesome player. You can really tell how much he loves talking about guitars....and Bigsbys!!
...and Rebecca Dirks is pretty cool too!

Jimmy's guitar collection is just wonderful. Such a great guy!
I met Jimmy recently....great guy. I love his passion for guitars and music.
started to watch this expecting to watch for maybe ten minutes just to see what they had. 46 minutes later im impressed with this awesome gear.
Excellent rig rundown here. Thank you to Premier Guitar crew and lovely Rebecca

That was an epic rundown. Always cool to see a top-level player that really is a fan and collector of the instrument.
I honestly love that the last like 20+ minutes were of Jimmy showing a shitload more guitars, those were all absolutely awesome
Wow...just wow! What an amazing rundown.
This was by far the best Rig Rundown yet! Thank you!!
The all-time greatest Rig-Rundown ever aired (!)
Jimmy really appreciates gear and so do I. Great rundown really enjoyed this :)
The late night tv guitarist thing was an awesome idea. Thx for doing it. Always watched the shows for them or the band they would have on.
One of the best rig rundowns yet. Jimmy knows his guitars. Anyone with half a brain can appreciate that!
I love that they did an overview of Mike's gear, too. I started playing the bass, and moved to guitar... which I play more of now. The bass is still my first love.
I love watching rundowns where the person has an unusual situation. It gives a great perspective. Jimmy's so open and anecdotal. And Rebecca is adorable so that's a recipe for success
Mike Merritt is a natural teacher... lol... He's talking like he's teaching someone how to finger-pick a bass.
I was thinking the same thing. What a nice enthusiastic guy. Great gig to have too.
Awesome. I could watch this all day. Team Coco for life!
Holy shit man his collection is on point this guys the man
I like these rig rundowns a lot but this one, in particular, was just amazing! i really liked seeing and hearing about jimmy and mike's stuff. just great!
best rig rundown in the history of the program.
i love these vids, keep them up, i love how you guy get great artists nerding up on their gear
This is the best rig rundown ever. I miss Rebecca so much. 👍🏻🎸
Jimmy Vivino, a total legend. Beast of a player.
best rig rundown ever !!
Wonderful RR.... Loved every minute!
Jimmy, you're my new hero with all the Guitar Love. I really enjoyed seeing all your Guitars!
I'd like to see Conan's collection as well. Great stuff!!
I adore Rebecca Dirks and I miss her on these rundowns ❤
Best rig run down yet!!!
Top notch interview it was really good I really enjoyed it
Oh... And about the interviewer. She did a great job, And got the best from the guys. Really great video!
These are by far the best gear videos on youtube, but it'd be great if they showed them playing too.
Best rig rundown yet
Holy smokes, quite the rundown!
Love those guitars😍
Love the anecdote @ 6:45 about the advice from 'Mr. Walsh'.
Joe!
That was great. I miss these guys.
When do we see Conan’s stash?
He almost had me crying there at the end talking about that last guitar.
That was awesome. Ive never seen so much cool shit in one place.
For those curious the exact slide he has is from a cool company called Songhurst Rockslide who make some of the best slides around. I have two of them myself and they are awesome
Jimmy and Mike seem like salt of the earth cats who just love music and gear. What a great Program....I had never heard of it before, now I can't wait to start checking out the rigs!!!!
8:46 Moody Waters' "I can't be satisfied" HELL YEAH!
Sweet! Great player and great guy!
I love these videos.
One of the BEST RR's.
Ahh man I love this, I watch Coco every night so seeing Jimmy talk about his gear and seeing behind the stands was just awesome
Thanks Rebecca! (Marry me)
Yeah, and i really love that little thing to drop fron E to D, is really usefull, and i`ve never saw that before
"Mapleneck" ...a famous town in New Jersey
Mike Merritt is "The Man"!
Jay Leno "disliked" this video. By far the best RR yet.
Flippin amazing!
I think it's cool that a guy who spends all his time with guitars still gets so obviously excited about 'em.
Haha, I love Jimmy, just after the 25 minute mark ''that was my one indulgence'', in a back studio full of boutique and vintage equipment. I know he probably has a load of stuff given to him, but still, a fair few indulgences nonetheless. =P Beast of a player.
And Mike Merrit is incredibly awesome too, what a nice guy.
mike merritt's father is not A bass player, he's THE bass player!
Hard Bop legend
Great episode guys! I'd love to have a beer and talk music with that bass player, he sounds like a great guy to hang out with.
I love the electric pencil sharpener sitting on top of Jimmy V,s Brown Princeton amp around 21:00.Sorry it was Barry's Princeton
The old 70,s electric sharpener .
Jimmy Vivino has to be one of the biggest guitar nerds ever! haha Great video. I enjoyed every minuet of it.
So many guitars! I love it! :)
These guys are the coolest cats.... Loved this rig rundown. Conan is great also.
Amazing!
Awesome! The bassist sounds like super cool guy
If I didn't know better, I'd say Jimmy was a fan of Bigsby's...
Great rundown!
Thats a nice bass... Cool dude too!
Jimmy Vivino is a very friendly guy. Up until Conan moved his show away from New York, Jimmy was Willie Nile's lead guitarist. Willie Nile has been touring and performing since the 1970s. Amazing poet and singer songwriter combining the writing style of Bob Dylan with the rock edge of Cheap Trick and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
This was amazing, laptop OVATION!!!
Conan's personal collection NEXT!!!
Love Jimmy Vivino!
so many guitars!!!!!
it's a shame they don't play these
i watched the whole thing without getting bored
❤️Rebecca
note 4 number serial and dot on the esquier bridge plate that means its an early reissue from 1982-1989
Great video
I love that switch Merritt has on his E string.
this guy is hilarious
"i hadnt heard it until now" lol
I've watched this at least 37 times now
Awesome vid, now do Conan's rig rundown.
Is their a Rig Rundown with The Roots on Jimmy Fallon coming? I hope
very nice great
i think mike merritt's voice would be great for radio or sports broadcasting
Rebecca's an angel!
Guitar Paradise
Jimmy loves guitars as much as me. Mike seems a cool guy who loves talk with eople ant tell some funyn histories. When I grow up I wanna be like them.
If only there was a rig rundown for Conan, the sludge/doom metal band...
Psyfonify that's what I thought this was hahaha. Interesting anyways!
So cool. I didn't realise Conan played guitar too!
I like Jimmy, he's a great player and a nice guy.
I like that Conan's band obviously spent some time thinking about and preparing for the interview before PG came.
