@@TheGuitarShow hahaha! That's it, subscribed! You guys rock man! He's like the Bruce Wayne of guitars! I wanna see some goldies, those are my favs! AH!! I wasn't done yet, there we go!! : ) I try very much not to be jealous of people, but you're making it REALLY hard here!
Thank you for sharing this amazing collection. It's great to see these incredibly classic instruments in the hands of someone who appreciates them and plays them!
Bob I will never own a 58 or 59 or 60s original.but I recently purchased a 2022 wildwood select gibson les paul 60s.trying to recapture that 60s vibe.no weight relief no coil splitting.just a raw les paul standard.i absolutely love this guitar.it makes me feel special just to own it.i can only imagine how u feel bob wow what a collection.u are living In a beautiful dream bob enjoy and thanks
Don't let anyone tell you different but there are "some" Gibson Re-issues out there that do come scary close to the old originals. My 2018 True Historic R9 VOS got the seal of approval from a Burst owner who not only owns a old burst but has played a few old ones and he said my R9 feels and sounds extremely close to a 59 he had played. He also told me there have been others he played over the years.
This man has an amazingly taste on guitars. Every guitar in his collection is something I would add to mine. Thanks for sharing with us. Your collection is fantastic.
Thank you and a special thanks to Bob for sharing this with us! I was fairly impressed seeing the juniors and specials (which I love) but then bam! Busts out the nicest 59 dot neck 335 I’ve ever seen! That thing is cleaner than most new guitars, and don’t even get me started on a real 58 burst Les Paul! Well done sir and awesome collection, keep sharing them, and playing them! This is what guitar collections are about 👍.
I received a 59 special as a trade from Ron DeMarino in trade for a mint Ibanez firebird. This was in the 80s from Ron's Babylon, Long Island shop. Just shows how the values have "ascended. "
This video is deceptive. Its not actually about vintage guitars. Its about vintage digital cameras. Someone is using a vintage digital camera from 1959. Its an important video for us vintage digital camera collectors. Seeing one of these highly collectable vintage digital cameras in action is simply amazing.
That's amazing and you've taught me something- I have a 1960 335 and never knew about the extra padding needed in the guitar case to avoid neck damage. Been lucky up to now.
Yes I learned that fact the hard way- snapped the neck on my '74 Deluxe LP! I tell everyone about putting the cloth in the neck holder. Thank you for a great informative video.
So exciting, I couldn't wait to see another case opened. Every little detail mentioned is fascinating. Thanks Bob. We're both 55 vintage but you may well be in better nick!
My dad had a 61, Red, like the one Warren Haynes played. it was gigged heavy, he played through a Fender Harvard amp. The amp looked he dug it up in the yard, but it sounded good.
Wonderful to see these tremendous instruments being so well cared for. Gibson guitars are so elegant and in my opinion and preference don't really handle heavy wear and tear like Fenders. A little normal playing wear is ok on Gibsons but when they have been thrashed to death...oh dear. Especially jazz boxes. Lovely to see all of these well preserved instruments. Thanks for letting us see them!
Thank you for your special collections. I am watching from Japan. I am 65 and I started to play guitar again. Hope to see you in channel soon. Thank you again!
Unbelievable guitars and he keeps pulling another one and another one and another one and another one it is just so magical to watch. Really astounding amount of History and beauty
That $400 switch tip on the 1958 Les Paul likely increases the value by $4,000, so you're not such an idiot imho. Magnificent collection - thanks for sharing!
an insanely great collection! who is this man and how does he locate them? it's a pleasure listening to someone who knows the info of the gtrs so well.
His wrap around tailpiece guitars have better intonation than my tune-o-matic / stopbar tails. I spent my formative years playing a 30th anniversary Goldtop with worn frets...so I have a heavy fretting hand. This plays hell on "intonation" as I send things sharp...but all of that aside, I've stayed away from wrap arounds because of the limited options with intonation. I now believe that to be horsepiss in most cases (I've seen horror stories re: Juniors that cannot be properly intonated). More than likely, if I'm playing and the intonation if off, it's "operator error." That '54 is Freddy King City™! Beautiful. The whole collection is brilliant. Thanks for sharing it with us! Cheers!
My dad played with the Harry Reser band back in the 30s. I inherited his 1934 L5. He and Reser went to the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo and picked it up when on the road in Michigan. Cost a small fortune in 1934.
I have a 2004 Ltd Ed Les Paul. It's a very nice guitar and I will never forget the day I finally got to own a guitar of that calibre. I can only imagine what it feels like to own a collection of some of the most sort after guitars ever, from the late 50's, or any time. It's a fine collection and you are a very blessed individual to own all those amazing guitars!! Have fun playing them all.... : )
Thank you for sharing this video!! These are some of the cleanest examples of these early models that I have ever seen! Absolutely incredible! There are so many other guitars in that room that are looking for a little camera time as well, you know, and I am sure I heard 'em screamin' for just that. Now, while it was great to tell us about how the axe is half the sound and runnin' them dimed thru a nice amp completes the whole sound, I think we all need a little proof of that theory, just to make sure it is accurate. I know the crowd here would agree, right ?? So feedback be damned, Let's have BOB prove his theory for us, one beautiful, vintage treasure at a time. Tell Bob we said "Pretty please", won't you?? And again, THANKS FOR SHARING!!
Sir I would like to tell you thanks for even showing us your collection the guitars that you have are stellar that ES 335 is awesome I don't useally leave any feedback but you sir have one of the most beautiful collection of instrument's I've ever seen God bless you and hope you and your family are staying safe this world is crazy right now thanks again
This video is going to be one of the most viewed videos in the guitar youtube comunity...its probably the best collection video out there along side Joe Bonamassas one in Nerville
It’s just amazing to see these beauties. This gentleman knows also great deals of story as well as history of the Guitars. Nice to hear. Having so many untouchable guitars is a dream of every man. Maybe start a museum?
Some of the best examples I have ever seen in *ANY* collection. You're friend Bob has very good taste, and I can tell just from his noodling he is a great player.
You know your shit sir! It's an absolute pleasure to see these great guitars and hear someone so knowledgeable talk about them. Cheers mate!! (ps, i'm totally sold on a single pickup in the middle man! i need one of those guitars!)
great video...very informative....thanks for the tip about putting a cloth under the neck to prop up the gtr!!!!!.......I have a pretty good collection myself.......
Good to know, and thank you. Considering you are tasked with documenting Historic Instruments and stories associated with each, this is pretty important stuff! Very possible your video documentation will be used for reference in the future. Thank you for your time and efforts bringing the experience to all of us who don't have the same access to these so very important instruments.
I have an all original 1967 Firebird III with the p90’s and trem. Chunky neck but it rocks! All these Gibson’s with the hot p90’s are awesome blues rockers ! Just a gr3at collection you have- the conditions are superb, I hope you play them all!
R mark Chizek I agree 100 percent also the early Epiphone ones I have deep love for them 1960 to 1962 either Wiltshire or crestwood or coronet super cool and Steve Marriott knew how to choose fire breathers like this 😉👍
Amazing tha't there are pristine examples of vintage guitars still in existance. It's nice to see that there are collectors him keeping them in excelent condition.
Wow what a collection! Those jr.'s are super clean for the year! Love the tv yellow DC Jr. too!! Those cases are very uncommon in that condition. A case within a case good idea! Awesome tv yellow DC special..That 58' les paul Burst though!! Wow!!! Just an amazing collection you have!! Guitar history!! Thanks for sharing! Rock on man!!
I for one am glad someone like Bob as all these treasures- He has a true love for this stuff and a great wealth of knowledge. I wouldn't want to play any of them as I would be a bundle of nerves the entire time. I don't take much care of my guitars and they all have dings, scratches and finish wear.
Brilliant video, Bob sounds like a proper gent has the cool stuff and uses it. Fascinating to know that the collector guitars are now junk as they just sit in a vault.
Just an absolutely gorgeous collection of guitars thank you Bob wonderful to see I played my first Les Paul junior and will lust after 1 until someday I own one but in my case it was a 57 and I hope before I die I will have one and maybe a 54 es 175 with P90s
These are awesome,Cant believe the cardboard cases,You have the best collection Ive ever seen.Ive never seen Guitars so clean,So beautiful,Be fantastic if there was a way to use one for 1hr Or so.
Also, that trapeze tailpiece on the ES-225 single pickup... he mentioned it's only on the 225 and early Les Paul models. They're also on the ES-295 large body semi-hollow cutaway all-gold. Scotty Moore played one.
In the Gibson letter distinction of "TDN" or TDC", etc., the T stands for Thinline (thinner body from front to back) rather than a full size archtop/electric like a ES-5, or a Super 400 or L-5S. It does not stand for "one pickup", as he refers to several times. There's no pickup reference except for "D" which means Double pickups. And, John Lennon never used a Les Paul Special. he used a mid-50's Junior that was heavily modified by Lennon. He first stripped the sunburst finish, then added an original Charlie Christian pickup. But, this is a great collection of you really like single pickup 330 models!
probably people died and he inherited the cash from dead relatives... in the movie Wall Street with Michael Douglas - he would be referred to as an idiot son.
What a collection! Wow! One thing I found interesting, the discussion of the old crocodile textured cardboard case being itself collectible is interesting. I had one that came with a vintage Gibson (but mine was black) and it was really junk, but mostly intact. I never thought it would have any value on its own.
A couple of discrepancies, George Thoroughgood plays a 125td not 225, Lifton cases are made in USA not Canada (some cardboard cases have Turner plaque affixed, the Canadian distributor) but enjoyable to watch and a lovely honest clean collection. Bob must have made a good living to fuel this passion! When we got to the 335, my heart stopped. My favorite quote "the bonnet knobs are a bit fiddley". Classic! And at the end, a 'Burst!
I was born in '59. If I was a Les Paul, I would be worth more than I am as a person.
Haha me too!
That's not true sir, but funny as hell! :)
@@BubbaZen10 This is Ramon and its true lol Bob is worth far more than me!!

@@BubbaZen10 many thanks indeed🙏🙏
This guy is such a gentleman, he’s got a great energy. He has an amazing collection and the 58 is definitely the crown jewel
Great energy!!!?? He’s an old fart who just pissed and moaned the whole video.
this guy is sitting on a million dollar collection, including a 1958 Burst probably worth $300,000 US today ... and yet seems so humble.
Thank you for sharing this amazing collection. It's great to see these incredibly classic instruments in the hands of someone who appreciates them and plays them!

I would love to see the rest of his collection. He has some great pieces in the background.
This bloke has an impeccable vocabulary for explaining this stunning collection..
Thank you for taking us on that tour I thoroughly enjoyed that👍🏻🤩🤩🤩
Thank you and a special thanks to Bob for sharing this with us! I was fairly impressed seeing the juniors and specials (which I love) but then bam! Busts out the nicest 59 dot neck 335 I’ve ever seen! That thing is cleaner than most new guitars, and don’t even get me started on a real 58 burst Les Paul!

Excellent!
Wonderful post! Really enjoyed your chat together and your passion for guitars.
Thanks very much
I could listen to this guy talking about guitars all day long. And indeed I have, on a number of occasions! Lovely video!
Absolutely right...me too!
Wonderful video wonderful collector. What a rational down to earth person is. A wealth of knowledge and a joy to listen to. Thank you.
pleasure!

Hilarious!
Amazing collection and a very knowledgeable collector, shame about the focussing and the white balance (clearly set for daylight not tungsten)
That's amazing and you've taught me something- I have a 1960 335 and never knew about the extra padding needed in the guitar case to avoid neck damage. Been lucky up to now.
Pleasure! Thanks for watching - and look after your 335!
Yes I learned that fact the hard way- snapped the neck on my '74 Deluxe LP! I tell everyone about putting the cloth in the neck holder. Thank you for a great informative video.

Ill let Bob know! Thanks
It is just great seeing the passion about every little detail on these amazing guitars. These are in very good hands. hats off.
Wow great interview from a true connoisseur and great guitars.
WOW!! 4 guitars in and that collection is incredible! Beautiful guitars and amazing video. Would be great to hear a couple of them. Cheers!
There are a few videos with the guitars demoed Ill put the links in the description
the '59 ES-335 'Burst is THE ONE !
agreed!
My dad had a 61, Red, like the one Warren Haynes played. it was gigged heavy, he played through a Fender Harvard amp. The amp looked he dug it up in the yard, but it sounded good.
Maverick nonconformist
Gibson means great guitars
That’s the burst killer!
Wonderful to see these tremendous instruments being so well cared for. Gibson guitars are so elegant and in my opinion and preference don't really handle heavy wear and tear like Fenders. A little normal playing wear is ok on Gibsons but when they have been thrashed to death...oh dear. Especially jazz boxes. Lovely to see all of these well preserved instruments.

Wow, now that's a gorgeous collection! I'd love a play on that 58 burst through a late 60s Marshall stack!
me too!
Luv your vids.
I miss you on guitar of the day.
Your a blessed man🙏🎼🎼🎶🎵
Great info! Nice to see someone who so appreciates these bundles of joy! Great history and interesting to learn about them... thx

Seeing the Les Paul was worth putting up with the camera work, which was insane.
Agreed!
Great video Bob and you have a really nice collection. Glad you are playing them to keep them alive!!

Thanks for the comment
This is a wealth of information, thank you for posting.
Never knew someone could be so informed about cases lol
Me neither!
Tremendous lunchtime viewing Ramon . Loved it , Informative chap.
Pleasure Davey!
What an absolutely stunning collection!
I used to collect vintage .I had fun watching this. I sold mine but I dream of having them back
i respect how much pride this young man has in his guitars
My mom’s born in 55 as well. Nice guitar. Looks minty fresh! You should play it more often Bob.
thanks
that is one heck of a collection and some serious knowledge you're sharing with us. Thanks!
Thanks for the articulate discussion ! So, very much appreciated. Wonderful guitars, safe at home!

I doubt it as the title of the video needed better wording, I came across it by accident..also no one probably knows who the fuk bob is lol
Wow, and can you believe these guitars were made for kids? Absolute gorgeous guitar, so clean and I just love the necks on them.
Thanks Joseph
38:03 to 38:19 Who else was screaming "Peter Green... PETER GREEEEEN for heaven's sake!!!"
Wonderful 45 minutes of content. Thanks!
LOL!
Thanks for sharing! Love these Gibsons. He just needs a Les Paul Custom to complete the collection, but that's absolutely breathtaking.
Pleasure - yes indeed I love customs
The trapeze tailpiece/bridge from the 225 was also used on 295s as well. The ones on LPs were actually shorter by the way.
Bob is great, love his attitude and his eloquence. Smart man is Bob.
Absolutely
It’s just amazing to see these beauties. This gentleman knows also great deals of story as well as history of the Guitars. Nice to hear.
Having so many untouchable guitars is a dream of every man.
Maybe start a museum?
thanks, now thats a thought!
Need a follow up - plugged in version but what a great guy and a fantastic collection
Some of the best examples I have ever seen in *ANY* collection. You're friend Bob has very good taste, and I can tell just from his noodling he is a great player.
You know your shit sir! It's an absolute pleasure to see these great guitars and hear someone so knowledgeable talk about them. Cheers mate!!

Les Paul jr..my all time, absolute favorite guitar! Just stunning!
great video...very informative....thanks for the tip about putting a cloth under the neck to prop up the gtr!!!!!.......I have a pretty good collection myself.......
Every detail is out of focus
it takes a few seconds to get in focus - its a common fault of the Lumix I used for this video
Maybe consider a new camera, please.
yes I wont use this one again for this situation @@hkguitar1984

you are certainly right! Thanks @@hkguitar1984
The firebird 1 is another 1 pickup classic to drool over plus all the sweet juniors info 👍👍👍👍
Pleasure Elvis. The firebird is a reissue
I have an all original 1967 Firebird III with the p90’s and trem. Chunky neck but it rocks! All these Gibson’s with the hot p90’s are awesome blues rockers ! Just a gr3at collection you have- the conditions are superb, I hope you play them all!

That gold top Les with P90’s! Ding dong!!
Looks like a vintage camera was used to film this video. O.o
Lol
T stands for thin line meaning thin body

I wouldn't want to play any of them as I would be a bundle of nerves the entire time. I don't take much care of my guitars and they all have dings, scratches and finish wear.
Keep them coming. Great videos 👍🏻
thanks
Wonderful collection and lad!
Man I have no words to thank you for such a video the real pie shop lol
pleasure Elvis!
Brilliant video, Bob sounds like a proper gent has the cool stuff and uses it. Fascinating to know that the collector guitars are now junk as they just sit in a vault.
Pleasure! Yes, a guitar is nothing until it is plugged in!
Wow, breathtaking collection. Nice English Gentleman. Would be nice to hear them amplified.
Thanks Bob's a great guy that's why I tried to let him do all the talking!!
Like your channel a lot and I am a sucker for Teles as well ;-)
Thanks Bob for sharing
Wow! I was drooling the whole time ! That is my dream collection ! Born in '59 so guess which are my faves ? ;-)
haha bet you like the 335! thanks Todd.
Born in '60, the Junior is the one for me.
Excellent video my friend. Awesome!
Thanks bro - we need to do a video together somehow Nik!
Just an absolutely gorgeous collection of guitars thank you Bob wonderful to see I played my first Les Paul junior and will lust after 1 until someday I own one but in my case it was a 57 and I hope before I die I will have one and maybe a 54 es 175 with P90s
Amazing! Thank you for sharing.
These are awesome,Cant believe the cardboard cases,You have the best collection Ive ever seen.Ive never seen Guitars so clean,So beautiful,Be fantastic if there was a way to use one for 1hr Or so.
The case cover....the Johnny smith Gibson is the only gibson I remember that came standard with a case cover.
Ill let Bob know that info - thanks!
When he opened up the sunburst 335, I began to cry
There’s something special when a collector stays with one brand. The knowledge gained by doing so is incredible.
Two Fender Stratocasters are evident
?
The guy in the band Cinderella was Tom Keifer always played old Gibson's on stage, Very Nice collection!!
Great player and very distinct vocalist.
Also, that trapeze tailpiece on the ES-225 single pickup... he mentioned it's only on the 225 and early Les Paul models. They're also on the ES-295 large body semi-hollow cutaway all-gold. Scotty Moore played one.
Love love love those Junior DC's!
I have a Faded 2003 RI, easily the best $600 I've ever spent!
great buy! - Thanks
mate drooling so hard on these bad boys..... do more !
more coming soon!
In the Gibson letter distinction of "TDN" or TDC", etc., the T stands for Thinline (thinner body from front to back) rather than a full size archtop/electric like a ES-5, or a Super 400 or L-5S.

And, John Lennon never used a Les Paul Special. he used a mid-50's Junior that was heavily modified by Lennon. He first stripped the sunburst finish, then added an original Charlie Christian pickup. But, this is a great collection of you really like single pickup 330 models!
Funny when he thinks it has a thick neck. I have a 1937 Gibson Recorder King M3 and the neck is easily twice as thick!
Cool! Does it have a v shape neck?
This is an awesome collection! Thanks for sharing with us! It isn't all the Gibson's though is it, there's a Firebird hanging up back there lol
I would be interested in your background... as to how you acquired these guitars, what you did for a living to AFFORD THEM!
probably people died and he inherited the cash from dead relatives... in the movie Wall Street with Michael Douglas - he would be referred to as an idiot son.
@@brooklynboy1000 - How can say something like that? - Steve Albini got it right when he used the expression 'Blues Lawyer'
What an amazing collection. :O WOWZA !!!
thanks!
Wowzers What an amazing collection.
What a collection! Wow! One thing I found interesting, the discussion of the old crocodile textured cardboard case being itself collectible is interesting. I had one that came with a vintage Gibson (but mine was black) and it was really junk, but mostly intact. I never thought it would have any value on its own.
Who the hell is this guy? What an incredible collection!
That Junior is my dream!
mine too!!
A couple of discrepancies, George Thoroughgood plays a 125td not 225, Lifton cases are made in USA not Canada (some cardboard cases have Turner plaque affixed, the Canadian distributor) but enjoyable to watch and a lovely honest clean collection. Bob must have made a good living to fuel this passion! When we got to the 335, my heart stopped. My favorite quote "the bonnet knobs are a bit fiddley". Classic! And at the end, a 'Burst!
i'd give parts of my body for one of those Juniors or that Special.
Greg E except not my hands. I need those
I know what you mean Greg - Bob has a great collection
