I don’t know if we can get your neck re-angled, but we may be able to refret you. 😂

Hahaha.

And you probably do a lot of Fretting about your neck

😂😂

😂 same

Karma came back to you for sure pal 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good man. That 70k for sure changed their lives!

You're a good man. The universe warded you back with the Fender. Congrats.

Its just wood with 6 strings on it. Really, I'll be just as happy playing a new one and being honest about.

Youre a good man.

But tomorrow he'll quietly put her back under Joe Bonomasa's bed.

Same here. Found a 1952 Dust Bunny. Thinking of converting it to a 59..

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 me too...even checking my own bed...just in case the tooth fairy needs some ammo...will keep enough teeth for the steak though...🤔

😂

Lol 😆😆😆

I just saw him .🍻😂😂😂

I was thinking about him watching this too. #joebanamassa

Bro 😂😂😂😂

I agree. The pedigree is more valuable in some cases.

Why so it can rot away with time? Rather it get played. I really don't understand the attitude of having such a beautiful sounding instrument and not playing it

@@beanmang3791 hes saying left alone as in not altering it.

@robanicich2878 oh fair, yeah I agree with that i thought he meant as in to not be played. I hate when people do pickup swaps or change the original pieces that are in a condition as good as this

@beanmang3791 Yeah well so much more that happens often I'd thst these older Lester's ate finding their way to opportunistic luithiers that use them as a base to fabricate a forgery of a 59. Some of the gold tops actually even have some fairly nice patterned maple flame on them, which is perfect fodder to refin and create some convincing '59 burst from the bones of manybof these earlier guitars. It's a shame that this lessens the amount of actual original debut guitars but likewise dilutes the 59 guitars out there. There is a story or rumour that purports that somewhere nobody had attempted to make a legit registry of certified 59 bursts and as far as anyone could ascertain from the Gibson order sheets and records that thru the end of 58 and to the end of 1960 a limited number of bursts were produced,,, let's just say for example it has been estimated at 1200 (just for example) however this online registry has had over 4000 bursts that have been registered as out there surviving and for all practical purposes fairly well initially identified. Somewhere since that time frame a whole lot more bursts started circulating!

Joe’s nickname should be: “Checkbook”! 😂

Yes. It literally sounded like an old record.

There was something emotional there yeah !

Duane Allman used a Paul and a Champ during the Layla recording sessions. I agree, that's the tone!

One can see why it was a package deal with the guitar and amp, the perfect combo. Can't wait till Matt gets the scratchy pots etc. fixed and working!

@@markrichards3747 I just got a Les Paul Junior and paired it up with my Champ. A little overdrive and reverb and I was channeling my inner Keef playing Midnight Rambler.

Nothing like an old P90 equipped Les Paul in the middle position! 🤘

That middle position was silk!

I’m down!

He might want it but doesn't need it. He has enough overpriced vintage axes, honestly.

He already has a bunch of vintage amps and guitars that most of us would dream of owning.

This guitar sounds like shit to me compared to some his later vintage finds...sounds pretty am radio and treble is all I hear.

@@To_protect_and_to_serve🙄 yeah that's definitely up to us...

I'm a lefty too, but thanking all that I learned to play right handed! I can feel your misery.....

That guy is already hoarding too much of the good stuff. Leave some for the rest of us.

@@saltpeter500To be fair to Joe,he takes a load of guitars from his collection on tour with him.Seen him live twice,and his guitar tech spends almost as much time on the stage as he does! Changes his instrument many times during a two hour straight session. Oh,and just for the record,at the end of the gig,he has sweated right through the back of his shirt AND his suit, so he definitely works hard on that stage! Can’t blame the heat from the spotlight anymore,as they are all cool LED lights today.

Pls don’t forget, that this guy plays spectacular too! A cheap 200$ guitar would also sound amazing in his hands, if he WANTS to let it sound amazing !! But yes… I’m with you, this 52 LP is a dream!! Love it

It's not his to alter.

@@larryn2682 I don't think that he would have even if it was his - He's got too much respect for old instruments.

As well he should be!

He was struggling to play it.

Sounded good to me. Been Jonesing for a goldtop with p90s for a while now

Saw a 50's Fender Champ on Reverb for like $2,400 yesterday. Not too insane.

These were unsellable for 10k forever, until joe glaser came out with the music city bridge. I predicted in 2012 with the advent of that bridge the 52/3 goldtops would go way up in value. Now they are almost 40k.

A guitar that expensive will almost positively go through a broker to get top dollar, sadly. Trogly couldn't afford this.

@MathewScottmusic

Beautiful comment.

What store, is it still in existence?

@@larryn2682 It was Schroder's Music and it's long been closed.

Why did you wait until following weekend??

@@mcraft2240 I didn't have the money at the time to buy it.

Unique? Worth every penny? Are you sure about that?

@@Angel-fz8dr hey, to each their own. Personally, I would put my $ on a Tornelli. How about u?

@@UltraPvnk I have already put some of my money on two boutique guitars, made by the best two luthiers from my small country. One of which was steal of a deal. Im talking real small numbers. No more than 20-30 pieces ever built from the first model, and no more than 10 ever built from the second one. They are also quite nice, not only rare. My money is safe. And my guitars are also kept in a safe haha. Never heard of Tornelli guitars, but they seem nice. 3000 euro for a luthier built instrument is not that far-fetched. I also have 2 strats btw, very unusual specs on the second one. Basically SRV model, without being SRV signature.

@@Angel-fz8dr Let me guess your luthiers: Carneglia? Paoletti? A Nachocaster? If there was an artist who squeezed everything out of his Strat it was SRV. I personally own Suhr.

@@UltraPvnk No. You would never guess, because most probably you have never heard of them. Im not from Italy. Italy is not a small country in my book. Never touched a Suhr in my life, but Im sure they are very nice.

You don't see all he finds. We only see the special guitars.
