Hey Premiere Guitar! You guys edited in the wrong picture at the 10:50 to 10:54 minute area. The guitar you showed a picture of has a Varitone and is not Charlie's 335 in this video. Just a heads up.
Fantastic rig rundown guys. Charlie is awesome. Nice to hear him mention how great Warehouse Speakers are. I put one one in my 65 Princeton Reverb Reissue and it made a great amp even better. I even liked it better than a Celestion Gold I tried. I Couldn’t be happier with Warehouse and their prices are very reasonable.
Damn, Charlie is the frickin coolest. This probably the best rig rundown I've ever seen. No douchey roadies smacking chewing gum, no obnoxious background soundchecking, and Bolinger wasn't constantly interrupting the artist. Best of all, Charlie isn't awkward, and knows what he's using and why he's using it. He's a great player with a great ear, and a super cool cat.
Getting ready to see Charlie and the boys for the fourth time next month. This band is like a breath of fresh air for southern rock and just damn good music. So nice to see this Rig Rundown.
I am an absolutely massive fan of Blackberry Smoke. They are a GREAT band and Charlie Starr is really awesome. They're carrying the Skynyrd torch for sure. I feel a really strong kindred spirit with Charlie and think we have the exact same influences. I've been recording Gary Rossington solos on my channel in the last couple of days as a tribute and I'm sure Blackberry Smoke will do a great tribute as well. We're southern boys for sure!
Rip Gary, yes bbs is a southern rock, but mostly they are a mix of crows and Atlanta jam more than southern power chords like LS did, in my humble opinion
@@shable1436 There's actually quite a bit more complexity to Skynyrd than they get credit for. I put them in the AC/DC sort of category that there are so many bad imitators of them that people start to think AC/DC isn't all that great either. I totally get what you're saying though and agree.
Love the Rig Rundown with Bolinger. One thing I wish they would do is show a 30 second clip of the band playing the gig so we can hear it all together.
I grew up about 25 miles south of Lanett Alabama. In Smith's Station Alabama. If Charlie reads this, im glad someone from our area made it!! And yes Mr. Starr Sir you made it. Cause you make music that touches people in thier Souls!!! Thank you Sir !!!
BBS is one of the very best bands in the business doing incredible stuff. Charlie is the genuine goods too, what a monster player and super good dude. Johnny B, good job outta you as usualy brother man. thanks
Awesome Rig Rundown! Thank you! But, the guitar shown in the minute 10:48 (ES-345 gold hardware and bigsby) is a different guitar to the one Charlie is showing.
Wouldn’t you just love to sit down in a pub and just shoot the shit with Charlie and Paul? They are so down to earth and cool. No wonder they make such great music, all of 'em!
It's the little things that makes life's moments interestingly unique. Enjoy them. As we enjoy what you make of it all. When we teach from the heart we share little bits of love that grows to bring us all together.
With all the interviews Charlie has done that are available on the public platforms; I have yet to see anything negative written in the comment section. That speaks volumes about that man. A great musician and an all around good dude.
What a great hang with Charlie and Paul. Thank you so much for sharing your gear and stories with us. Can't wait for the next shows at The Shed! Hope you are having a blast in Europe.
What a cool band. I really enjoy jamming along with their music. Bands where you don't have to skip through filler are very rare these days. Cool guys. Glad they exist.
So cool this interview. Thank you Premier Guitar. Charlie is a star! Got my tickets for Paris and Brussels in... get this September 2024. 2024. Dang. And await the new album in... wait... February 2024. Torture. Rocking with ya'all. !!! Merci.
I love how Charlie shares the guitars with John, simply handing them over to say, "Here, you should hold this to get a great feel of it." 🤜🏼🤛🏼 "Charlie is Fawsome" 🤘🏼🎶🎸
One of the nicest guys you will ever meet seems like. Most guitar players won’t let you tip there guitars but he wouldn’t care if you wanted to take one home with you. Got a really good sence of humor
You don't hear many rock stars say they got their guitar from Guitar Center 😆 but I dig this band and these guys rock! Thanks for the rundown, got me some new pedal ideas now
I just discovered Charlie and Blackberry Smoke. My first impression was they had a vibe that just struck me. It felt like I was listening to the Dead. Then I saw a video of Charlie wearing a jacket with Jerry’s “Tiger” guitar patch on it. Funny how this works universe works. I feel as if I was lead to Blackberry Smoke for a reason. True musicians are healing to listen to.
Been listening to Blackberry Smoke for years and years, but I finally got the see them live a few months ago. If you're a fan, you really need to see them live if you get the opportunity. Charlie and the whole band are great!
I'm so glad to finally get a close look at that black Esquire. I've done tons of research trying to find out about that guitar and even found it listed a few years ago on Reverb in a shop in Ohio and reached out to the shop that had sold them to ask them about it and they didn't really know too much about it. It's an unreal looking guitar!
Is this just the best rig run down ! Nothing better than two guitar nerds geeking out over gear ! That and they both have great personalities. Idk I think is like the 3-4th rig rundown I’ve seen of theirs and they never disappoint !
Yes. Good one. Charlie is my favorite modern guitar player. So much vibe. Reminds me of Keef at times but he seems well versed and creative in any style. And cool he found that 335 in Louisville thats where I am
We retain that which we hold of importance to our sense of being. And we all differ slightly becoming who we are. Lots of love for each individual...being who you are.

Please don’t stop doing these. We love ya Bolinger!
There's only one JB! There's no Premier Guitar without him IMO
Bolingbrook is always happy, enthusiastic and out of the way; He let’s the artist present their gear, and is pretty good at coaxing them to demo it.
I have a feeling he loves it every bit as much as we do. Haha must be so cool to see all the gear in person
🤘
Charlie Starr is one of my all time favorite guitar players.
And he' s such a nice guy.
I LOVE Blackberry Smoke! Most underrated band in the US.
most overused comment EVER on you tube
You got that right.
Amen Tell it!!! Best band in the land !!! #SpreadTheSmoke
Keeping that deep Southern Rock alive. These guys can hang with the best and spank the rest.
Underrated? Not sure to understand this word... They're not, any person who loves Rock knows them and knows how good they are.
I love how Charlie gives a story for each guitar and lets John get a feel for each guitar too.
Great interview. What a charming and welcoming guy Charlie is.
What a great Guy Charlie is 🙏🏻
Damn, Charlie is the frickin coolest.

Loves every guitar till the last screw and lets John hold and take a proper look at them, what a great dude!
Love the Rig Rundown with Bolinger. One thing I wish they would do is show a 30 second clip of the band playing the gig so we can hear it all together.
Probably has to deal with copyright stuff if they did that...
The Bohlinger enthusiasm is infectious! Love It. JB is the man and why I watch a rundown for a band like this i'm not familiar with and Its fantastic!
Charlie is an American treasure. What a cool dude and a heck of a musician.
I grew up about 25 miles south of Lanett Alabama. In Smith's Station Alabama. If Charlie reads this, im glad someone from our area made it!! And yes Mr. Starr Sir you made it. Cause you make music that touches people in thier Souls!!!
Thank you Sir !!!
John is one the best interviewers. He knows when to ask questions and when to just let the interview subject just talk.
Charlie Starr is probably one of my favourite players!!! He has such a phrase nobody else has… of only I had 1% of his talent I d be set 🤩
Thanks!
What a fabulous guitarist & front man. The real deal.
Fabulous guitar tones from Charlie at their London gig last night. Some of the best guitar sounds you’re ever going to hear live. Killer.
Love ya Charlie! and BBS! Best band around!
I just love guitars, and these are really nice instruments here.
Smiled the entire time!!!!!
BBS is one of the very best bands in the business doing incredible stuff. Charlie is the genuine goods too, what a monster player and super good dude. Johnny B, good job outta you as usualy brother man. thanks
I love that old time finger picking. There is nothing like those old riffs.
CHARLIE'S interviews are SO awesome ....
Saw one a few years ago with the ""4 Horsemen" guy's guitar !!! LOVE that guitar!
Charlie Starr is SO good. I think he's right up there with Mayer and Bonamassa.
More soul than both combined I'd say
Lol Mayer and Bonamassa wtf man 😂😂😂
This is music
I could literally watch Charlie play guitar all day long. He makes it look so smooth and effortless. #factorydefault
Blackberry Smoke is frickin AWESOME! Congrats on the great video!
I love Blackberry Smoke! I love rig rundowns! This is great!
This is one of the best rig rundowns I've seen. Love Charlie Starr and Blackberry Smoke. These guys are giving southern rock some good justice.
Seen them 4x and every time was friggin Awesome!
Awesome Rig Rundown! Thank you!
But, the guitar shown in the minute 10:48 (ES-345 gold hardware and bigsby) is a different guitar to the one Charlie is showing.
No it's not.. lol. It's literally the same exact guitar.
@@LiveByTheSword90 Look at the inlays - Charlie's has small block inlays, the one in the photo has split parallelogram inlays.
@planej6315 that doesn't mean it's a whole different guitar
@@planej6315 In addition the gold hardware, the black paint in the bigsby, the rotary switch ...
Also one has the 5 way rotary switch and the other one doesn't. Two different guitars.
Wouldn’t you just love to sit down in a pub and just shoot the shit with Charlie and Paul? They are so down to earth and cool. No wonder they make such great music, all of 'em!
This is one of my favorite rig rundowns, those guys are the coolest.
It's the little things that makes life's moments interestingly unique. Enjoy them. As we enjoy what you make of it all. When we teach from the heart we share little bits of love that grows to bring us all together.
Charlie is so nice, and his playing and voice is smooth as berry wine
With all the interviews Charlie has done that are available on the public platforms; I have yet to see anything negative written in the comment section. That speaks volumes about that man. A great musician and an all around good dude.
My favorite band !
Great Band Blackberry Smoke proper Stuff and John B is a top Fella 👊❤️⭐️🌞🎸
What a great hang with Charlie and Paul. Thank you so much for sharing your gear and stories with us. Can't wait for the next shows at The Shed! Hope you are having a blast in Europe.
Charlie is my New Times Rock Hero... together with Keith and Duane & Dickey... to see wat he use is a Dream come true ... Charlie you awesome!
What a cool band. I really enjoy jamming along with their music. Bands where you don't have to skip through filler are very rare these days. Cool guys. Glad they exist.
Dony know what you"ve been missing...til you find it.
Ooh, sweet! I got myself my first Les Paul Jr. last year and I just _LOVE_ it. Such a cool guitar.
So cool this interview. Thank you Premier Guitar. Charlie is a star! Got my tickets for Paris and Brussels in... get this September 2024. 2024. Dang. And await the new album in... wait... February 2024. Torture. Rocking with ya'all. !!! Merci.
I love how Charlie shares the guitars with John, simply handing them over to say, "Here, you should hold this to get a great feel of it." 🤜🏼🤛🏼
"Charlie is Fawsome" 🤘🏼🎶🎸
Awesome band, awesome players, great rundown. Bohlinger you are the best at this! God bless and rock on 👍😎🎸
Oh my god, this is amazing, let´s see that!
I love that Charlie and Paul did this themselves instead of using their techs. Class act.
One of the nicest guys you will ever meet seems like. Most guitar players won’t let you tip there guitars but he wouldn’t care if you wanted to take one home with you. Got a really good sence of humor
Wow!! Beautiful sounds. Beautifull.
Just the nicest guys on the planet, including of course JB!! Peace 8) --gary
I love Charlie Starr! Such a cool dude and player!!!
These are the best video's on the tube.
You don't hear many rock stars say they got their guitar from Guitar Center 😆 but I dig this band and these guys rock! Thanks for the rundown, got me some new pedal ideas now
Thank you for showing the amp sounds. Love when rundowns give demos of the rigs.
You are correct Sir! Every board should have a Tube Screamer. Awesome gear and review.
PG, Please make a T-shirt that says "lllove it" (credits to John :D).
I love seeing these episodes, and John is awesome as usual!!
I got an autographed Charlie pouch for my birthday! They are untouchable live!
The Nicest Guys Ever !! Seen them in Detroit everytime they were Here !!🎸
I think he is talking Varitone 5-way selector.
Mr. Starr, and Mr.Jackson, just seem to be the coolest kind of people you could hope to come in contact with.
Saw Blackberry Smoke in Albany, New York a few months ago. They were amazing.
We saw them at the Ryman! ROCKED!!!!
Man… you’ve got to love Mr. Charlie Star. 🎸👍
Holy moly! Yes yes yes!!
I just discovered Charlie and Blackberry Smoke. My first impression was they had a vibe that just struck me. It felt like I was listening to the Dead.

5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Minimalist Esquires & Juniors broken in over decades, bereft of finish have holy grail tone.
Oh this just made the rest of my week alright!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charlie is the BEST! Coolest cat EVER!!
Is this just the best rig run down ! Nothing better than two guitar nerds geeking out over gear ! That and they both have great personalities. Idk I think is like the 3-4th rig rundown I’ve seen of theirs and they never disappoint !
Greatest of guys!
Lovely guitar collection. Very nice showed and explained. Thanks both!!
Charlie Starr ain’t all about Charlie Starr,he’s about the band and his music. He’s a great musician and a great person.
Love this band. Great job as always, John.
I like Charlie’s sense of humor.
Yes. Good one. Charlie is my favorite modern guitar player. So much vibe. Reminds me of Keef at times but he seems well versed and creative in any style. And cool he found that 335 in Louisville thats where I am
Absolutely Love this guys !! Thank you .
Glad you enjoyed it
We retain that which we hold of importance to our sense of being. And we all differ slightly becoming who we are. Lots of love for each individual...being who you are.
This man has such great taste, I’ve always been impressed by his tone.
I could watch this all day. Love Charlie's gear. Love your video concept. When we're not playing them, we're thinking about them aren't we?
Such a classy guitarist and an incredible band!
Charlie starr kicks ass !!
Great dudes and even better music they got! Thanks for the vid guys!
Charlie Starr plays what I like to hear with tone I love.
Seeing these guys in April in London..
Gonna be a good one..😎
So cool that we had that Esquire at Rockin Robiin Gutars and I found it a good home with my pal .Delivered to him in 2016
Thank you man the Ts put me on the edge of the couch mam

Thank you man
This fella really has time in his fingers…brilliant
I can listen too Charlie all Day ! He's Great at Daryl's House 💫

Love it. Charlie and the guys are the greatest...I bought a Les Paul Jr because of him!
Charlie is a ⭐️
WOW! Acoustic 360! Yay!
Great video, thanks! I just saw the guys play a couple of days ago, they are getting better every year. Cheers✌️
Bez dwóch zdań. NAJLEPSZA ROCKOWA GRUPA NA ŚWIECIE!!!!!!W Polsce ma też fanów!!!
Dayum! That was satisfying. Thanks for this one!
