Hey Mr Paul I live here in North Carolina I’m a Native American I play guitar at a lot of churches an outdoor events this video was awesome brother thumbs up
I have a 1978 Rickenbacker 4001, bought it new. Also have several Fender and G&L basses. Going to a guitar show is about the most fun you can have with your clothes on 😅
@ 11:46 if that's what the Telecaster looked like that you had then yours wasn't a 1959 it was 1970's that they did the custom iteration like the one you pointed out.
My guitar is a 2001 Collings D2H current value about $5K. Before the Collings I did have a Martin HD-28. Old amps are tube type hence the different sound.
If you have yet to get yourself a Les Paul, get yourself a Sweetwater or Guitar Center card. GC will usually send you a 20% coupon once per year, or more; and both Sweetwater and GC cards give you 2-4 years interest-free payments, to pay off your gear. That’s how I was able to buy three Gibson Les Pauls, among a ton of other guitars, amps, and gear.
Thank you for your tip. Right now, my budget is so tight living in North California that I can't afford one. Hopefully, some day. Right now, I have a Mexican Strat that's not bad, but my dream is a Les Paul. I'm going back to this show in January. Stay tuned for that video.
@@Bayareaandbeyond777 I lived in SF back in the 90s and San Diego for 12 years, so I know how expensive it is. The guitar payments only end up being around $20-$30 per month, depending on how many years they give you to pay them off.
Also, the difference in price of those Les Pauls you were looking at, is because one was a Les Paul Classic, which is the least expensive of the bound body/neck, gloss finish, Gibson USA line, while the other looked to be an R0 (1960 Reissue) from the Gibson Custom Shop line. It’s hard to tell from your video, but it could even be from the Gibson “Murphy Lab” line. I couldn’t tell what the difference in prices were between the Classic and the more expensive one.
@@Bayareaandbeyond777 Paul, just an FYI, it’s actually taboo to play that at a show or store. It goes back to the old day at any Guitar Center where every guitar newbie would demo a guitar by play Stairway. So if you do take up guitar, avoid the glares and jeers by not playing it.
The reason there is such a wide deference in prices boils down to vintage mania and uneducated collectors with too much disposable income! The reality is the guitars made today are better constructed. It’s the lore and legend that you’re paying for!
I would disagree with your take. I've played old guitars that seem to just play all by themselves. You need to try it to understand the vibe of older instruments.
@@Bayareaandbeyond777 my friend unfortunately no. i wanted to buy her but the plans changed, im going like a rocket to buy gretsch hollow body(my favorite ones)!!!!
@@Bayareaandbeyond777 Than you very very very much!!!!!! im self taughted!! but i have from the age of 8 since now to 31 big love of this instrument!! :D thank u again for your beautiful words my friend!!!!
I😮I been played guitar over 50 years all my guitars are left handed no guitars are worth thousands of dollars like you see these days there crazy I can fix them also
The difference in prices between the Les Paul guitars you were looking at were the difference between Custom Shop Gibson’s versus their standard line. An R-9 is much more expensive than a Classic 60’s new model. Now a real 1959 LP can get well over $350k (and more). And the 1959 is by far the most expensive because so few were made compared to 1958 and 1960 models.
A National with “built in speakers?…!?!”- sorry man, those beautiful old resonator guitars don’t have “speakers” but they do have decorative sound holes and resonators.
I like the heavy metal guitars
Amazing.
The next show is in January.
I was here and came back to relive it thanks for the cool video
Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Wow your interview with Larry Briggs Fantastic..... HE IS THE MAN .......
Billy, the funny thing is I had no idea who he was.
That was fun. Thanx for sharing.🎼🎶🎸👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks man it was one of the better video guitar shows .
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm going back this year in mid-January.

My mother and brother live in North Carolina. Thanks for watching and feedback.

Wow,
I bet that Rickenbacker sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing. My dream guitar is a Les Paul.
Great interview with that old guy from Oklahoma.
THANK YOU
Thanks for the guitar content. What are your recommendations for guitar stores in downtown SF? Thanks in advance.
Real Guitars is a good place to start.
What kind of double neck acoustic guitar was that ?
u didn't show the price tag so close & we want to see everything including prices
a bit frustrated
Next year will be better.
@ 11:46 if that's what the Telecaster looked like that you had then yours wasn't a 1959 it was 1970's that they did the custom iteration like the one you pointed out.
That was in the 80s, and I'm not positive about anything that I did.
Wow! Mary Kayes D'Angelico! Which shop is that for sale in?
I have no idea. I was just looking at all the amazing guitars.
My guitar is a 2001 Collings D2H current value about $5K. Before the Collings I did have a Martin HD-28. Old amps are tube type hence the different sound.
Like orphans looking for a home…. 😁
Paul..! The Fender Electric XII (at 50:15 ish), is the same model guitar Jimmy Page used on the studio production, of Stairway to Heaven.
Wow, really, that's so cool. Thank you for telling me that. They are my all-time favorite rock band.
IF anyone knows where that Charvel "Redrum" San dimas strat is and it is for sale let me know! I am very interested in buying it!
Seems like 1959 was the best year for guitars? Just less made that year?
I was told it was the P-90 pickups that gave it that special sound.
you did good. ty u sharing . now dust and tune your guitar and play it :)
I practiced scales this morning. I'm going to this year's guitar show this weekend. Video soon after.
If you carefully you can see me wandering around in the background a bit 😂
What are you wearing?
@@Bayareaandbeyond777 around 12:25. Guy with long hair and black jacket. Our booth was right behind your shot of the Jackson guitars
@A Flash Flood of Gear Cool, thanks for watching.
@@Bayareaandbeyond777 Wonder if you're somewhere in the background of our video haha

Thank you for your information. You are a guitar expert sounds like.
@@Bayareaandbeyond777 Not really. I’ve just been playing since 1986, and have learned about Les Pauls, after having bought my first one in 2012.
Was anyone worried after seeing the zep hat and shirt that we were going to hear him play Stairway on one of the demo guitars? 😮
I'm sure they were, but no one stepped up to the mighty stairway.

You are probably right. When people pay a million dollars for a Les Paul, you must be right.
Uneducated collectors?

2:42 GRETSCH lover here(hollow body only)
Do you own one?
@@Bayareaandbeyond777 my friend unfortunately no. i wanted to buy her but the plans changed, im going like a rocket to buy gretsch hollow body(my favorite ones)!!!!
@@kostantismp3704 I'm sure one day you will reach your goal of owning one. Enjoy it when you do!

No Gibson Moderne's ?? lol

I'm 57 and learning to play. I guess you're never too young to learn. I bet you're a hell of a player and left-handed to boot. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you I appreciate it

Thank you for the info. Now I need to win the lottery 😩 to get a '59
What about Johnny Cash?
A National with “built in speakers?…!?!”- sorry man, those beautiful old resonator guitars don’t have “speakers” but they do have decorative sound holes and resonators.
Thanks for the info and for educating us on the National.
😮if any guitar player pays any of these prices there crazy there not more than 345 hundred dollars people not 567 thousand dollars and more 😊
The prices were crazy to me too.
Please show the headstocks of the guitars next time and speak more clearly
You're funny! I speak how I speak if you don't like it sorry. As for the headstocks, I will focus more on those.
If you want a Les Paul there are many different types. I suggest you do your homework before buying. Have a great time on your hunt, Cheers!!!
We can’t even afford to look at some of those guitars, wtf?
Tell me about it. I could only afford to film them 🤣
1968 is better I was born
Boomers party. Guitars are now uncool
They are a amazing instrument played by the right person.
But yet you are watching?
Jimmy Page Sucks
👎 Boo
why was that fool still waring a mask
