I got pretty teary eyed during the video too. ;o) One of the best videos I have seen in awhile though.Emerald City Music is an awesome store if you happen to Seattle.
This what Guitar Safaris are suppose to be - killer guitars and a wonderful story (even if bittersweet). What a terrific story and awesome way to remember and honor your brother! A guitar should only be named if it has a great story. My uncle willed me his 1958 Fender Stratocaster in custom color yellow. I loved it since childhood. My uncle played it on a small town rural Midwestern radio show in the late 50’s and early 60’s. After his funeral (in 1992) we went back to my aunt’s house. After about an hour she brought out the case and said, “You’re Uncle Walter knew how much you love this old guitar and wanted you to have it.” It was a complete surprise. I play it almost every day. I’ve been offered a lot of money for it, but it’s going to my son. Of course I simply named it “Uncle Walter”.
Best TH-cam content I've seen in years! Huge fan of your work and commitment to players. Please create more in this series. Going to buy some Emerald City swag right now.
Many times these guitars end up in the wrong hands. This beautiful 59 could not have gone to better home to someone who will play it and treasure it. That’s such an amazing top and Mark is a great guy.
This man seems to know how blessed he is. SO sorry that he lost his brother. Been there, done that in 1995. Old guitars are great. But there is nothing like your brother ...
What an amazing journey of emotion, music and family. The highest of highs, the lowest of lows - and all captured beautifully through cinematography and storytelling. Great job Emerald City Guitars, and congratulations on coming home Scotty Burst!
Congratulations Mark. Every burst should be so lucky to be in a home where it is cherished and played. So sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing this.
I’ve visited ECG since 2007 when I come to Seattle. Every time I have visited Jay and the entire staff have have been kind and welcoming even though there’s no way I could afford anything like this Burst in the video (or ever the guitars that go from “only” $10,000!). I hope the gentleman can take some comfort knowing that his brother’s memory will live on through this Les Paul masterpiece. Wonderful presentation. You folks are awesome.
When I was in the Airforce, a Staff Sergeant I worked with had a 50's model Les Paul and he let me play it. WOW!!!! it was like driving a Cadillac. Very little effort making chords. It was like a comfortable pair of jeans.
Thank you so much for sharing this, like others here I'm a mess after watching that. I lost my brother many years ago, this guy deserves that guitar to help him remember. What a story.....thanks again
Probably the best part about this is how supportive the wife was, “if you’re looking for my permission, you have it” Reminds me of my wife, if the moneys there she never discourages me.
Still to this day one of my favorite guitar videos on You Tube. I own a 1953 Les Paul Standard and have been lucky enough to play a few original bursts. Hopefully one day I'll own an original 59 as well. These videos always give me such motivation towards that goal!
What a great journey to get to tag along on! Well done, y'all! And I've gotta say it's been such a joy to have known Trevor since he was a little boy and see him blossom into the wonderful man that he is. Well done, Jay and Laurie!
I can't watch the whole video had to stop at the voice mail part, my condolences toward Mark, Mary, and their family. Trevor and the team did an amazing job on the whole thing too! This is an incredible journey, wish the Burst will stay with your family for generations to come.
First off so very sorry for Mark's loss and this video was very touching.We got to visit your store and all of you a couple years back upon our visit to Washington.Took many photos while we were there too We live about 40 minutes north of Mark and wow what a beautiful 59 Paul...Thank you for the very enjoyable video both very happy and sad!
Wow. I live in Tampa and while I don’t know Mark personally, I hope that someday I can share a drink with him, congratulate him on his purchase, and most of all, talk guitars, especially about the Scotty Burst. A fitting tribute to his brother and what a way to always remember him. 🙏🏻
@@bensepulveda71 Haaaaa, I've got an old Ric I take out of the case every once and a while to smell that Eastern hardrock Maple thing :-O maybe we can hang some day and talk guitars with a few cocktails !
That is the saddest guitar story i've ever heard in all of 50 years of buying and trading these beautiful instruments. What a wonderful and meaningful way to honour your brother.
Wow, what an incredible, emotional journey. You guys did an amazing job capturing the energy and tone through video. Absolutely incredible. Amazing job you guys!
Love it 👌🏽 this captures the excitement really well. I travelled 12 hrs today to pick up a 64 Vibroverb (obviously not quite the same as flying with a burst!) but the feeling of bringing a piece of history home was quite special
That is the most beautiful burst i ever seen. And I’ve seen a bunch! The finish isn’t faded at all. It’s like new. These people are good people and this guy deserves that guitar. I hope he plays the shit out of it instead of locking it away. It needs to be loved and played.
What an incredible episode. Happy for the dude. Your content is next level. Maybe one day I'll swing by and take some vintage beauties for a ride. Until then, rock on ECG!
I'm a mess after watching that. This is it, right here.
I got pretty teary eyed during the video too. ;o) One of the best videos I have seen in awhile though.Emerald City Music is an awesome store if you happen to Seattle.
Great story! Glad to know this is in Tampa with a good home!
I’m not crying. You’re crying.
That’s a really great story and a nice guitar to go along with it.

God bless Mark and his wife in this difficult moment....and let this beautiful LP be the right homage to his brother's memory....
He looks like a great guy. Congrats to him for this KILLER of a guitar acquisition.
Man, that cuts deep. Wish them both the best. That burst has found it's rightful home.
It really doesn't get much better than this. Thanks to all involved for sharing.
Man I tested up a bit. When it started I thought, great another rich collector. But then hearing the story and knowing he’s a player. Right on man!
What a beautiful video! Both tears of happiness and sadness, this shows what life’s all about, thank you!

Truly amazing content here, guys. This is what TH-cam was built for.
This is art. The guitar isnt bad either.
Congratulations Mark. Every burst should be so lucky to be in a home where it is cherished and played. So sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing this.
Best video on the internet. Thanks for sharing this story.
I heard Heartbreaker in my head and that's the first thing he played. That guitar is absolutely beautiful!!
This is high quality content right here. Keep it coming! Guitar stories are the best stories and TH-cam needs more of them.
Thanks for sharing this.
Wanna feel pain and joy all at the same time? Watch this movie. RIP, Scotty.
Wowwww, who knew a drunk dial, would end up being so powerful. What an incredible Burst story.
This series of videos should be a tv show! Very cool!
That's one helluva story. Guitars can be so much more than just guitars.

Wonderful story👍🏻
What matters, in the end, in my opinion, is family, friends, and music. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.
Now you're in MY neck of the woods! That Paul is like brand new. Good grief. Beautiful.
This is what it's all about. Life is good. Great story! Your brother is smiling at you and your Burst.

the very best burst story of all time
Your Video guy should give a masterclass! I love your video quality!
Scottyburst is a great name..but the story is everything...wow.
Thank you so much for sharing this, like others here I'm a mess after watching that. I lost my brother many years ago, this guy deserves that guitar to help him remember. What a story.....thanks again
Probably the best part about this is how supportive the wife was, “if you’re looking for my permission, you have it”

What a great video; you will struggle to top that. The guitar has gone to a good home and for a fine reason.
Wow...that was heavy. Power of the Burst. Great job ECG and what a great tribute to your brother Mark!
such a great story.......the burst found its forever home. Scott's memory will live every time he plugs the burst in.
That was incredible. Behind every great guitar...is a story
A great tribute to his brother and both their love for this les Paul. ..... and hand delivered ...that was above & beyond.
This episode deserves a freaking award or something. The birth of the Scotty Burst-wow! Holy.
This was awesome. These guitars are way more than just instruments they are sentimental artifacts. What a story.
And I'm bawling. I wish I could find a friend like you
Wonderful tribute to his brother, a story Mark and his family will cherish the rest of there life. Pure class Emerald City Guitars 🍻
I loved it. This is such a great story, start to finish. Thanks for sharing everyone.
Love to see this guy go at it like there's no tomorrow, great video, beautiful story !!
Wow, that was emotional! Talk about connecting a guitar to a player. That's why you do what you do Trevor. What a fantastic video.
Touching trip.once in a liftime.......
This is fantastic! The content coming from you guys is just next level
This is the best video I've seen in a long time. Well done. So happy for this guy.
Still to this day one of my favorite guitar videos on You Tube. I own a 1953 Les Paul Standard and have been lucky enough to play a few original bursts. Hopefully one day I'll own an original 59 as well. These videos always give me such motivation towards that goal!
Stunning guitar, great people, adorable pups.
Went to the right guy. What a supportive wife....Mary is better than a 59. Great story
What a great journey to get to tag along on! Well done, y'all!
And I've gotta say it's been such a joy to have known Trevor since he was a little boy and see him blossom into the wonderful man that he is. Well done, Jay and Laurie!
Beautiful guitar and story !
Heartfelt and cool all wrapped up in one! Thanks for sharing!
Damn, you're raising the bar here! Again!! Great series!

You gotta warn me next time! I was expecting to see a simple guitar purchase. That was emotional! Whoooaahh. Crazy/sad story. 😦
Wow. I live in Tampa and while I don’t know Mark personally, I hope that someday I can share a drink with him, congratulate him on his purchase, and most of all, talk guitars, especially about the Scotty Burst. A fitting tribute to his brother and what a way to always remember him. 🙏🏻
From Lutz here... He must be down by the old Belleview-Biltmore. Maybe he'll let us come stare at it, if we ply him with a few drinks ! Lol
@@kylemoran4343 I want to smell it. Those old Bursts have a peculiarly funky smell. 🤣🤣
@@bensepulveda71 Haaaaa, I've got an old Ric I take out of the case every once and a while to smell that Eastern hardrock Maple thing :-O maybe we can hang some day and talk guitars with a few cocktails !
What a beautiful instrument, and a beautifully presented and shot video.
The Scotty Burst is in the right hands. Sad but great story! That’s what these mean to all of us players, the memories.
That is the saddest guitar story i've ever heard in all of 50 years of buying and trading these beautiful instruments. What a wonderful and meaningful way to honour your brother.
Insanely great on so many levels. made my day but did tear up towards the end.
This story warmed my soul, thank you Emerald City Guitars.
Amazing instrument and even more amazing story! You good dudes to bring the story to all of us! Cheers!
Superb story and nice ending. Congrats.

Wow..that was such a powerful story. Love the Scotty Burst!

Well, this seals the deal. If I’m ever in a position to buy a burst, or any vintage guitar or gear, it’s going to be from you guys up there.
That is the most beautiful burst i ever seen. And I’ve seen a bunch! The finish isn’t faded at all. It’s like new. These people are good people and this guy deserves that guitar. I hope he plays the shit out of it instead of locking it away. It needs to be loved and played.
Aah man, this is what's its all about. Thank you for this!
Condolences to family.
Congratulations on the guitar.
Can't get much more of a story than that
