My dad bought me a 1962 Fender Strat from a pawn shop in 1964 right after the Beatles played Ed Sullivan. It was not in great shape finish wise but played fantastic. I learned on that guitar how to play. We had a friend that had just opened a music store in our home town in Texas. My dad and I took it by to show him the guitar and he said, Leo Fender can redo this guitar for $75 dollars at the factory. My dad looks at me (I'm 8 years old) and says...yes...let's do that. Our friend grabs the phone and calls Leo Fender and tells him about the guitar. Leo Fender says..sure, send it out to California and we will make it new again. About 8 weeks later...the guitar comes back with a new beautiful Sunburst finish.......I still play that guitar every day....and our friend with the music store? He is famous and sold Stevie Ray Vaughn his Number One Strat.......;)

Man...first, I love hearing this story, it’s so nice to know what the guitar has seen in its life, especially after that many years. But the end of that video, I didn’t see that coming and the gift you gave to Jim is just amazing. I didn’t see that coming to be honest, but once you said it, it really felt like it was the way to go, and I can’t imagine what Jim must have felt when he opened the package. As I said in your previous video, you really are a generous person, really kin to share things with as many people as possible, but that was the ultimate gesture, a top class act you and Jim will share for as long as you’ll live, and probably beyond as it seems like a chapter of this white Strat, so as long as the guitar(s) will live. Thanks again for your sharing of those stories, and thanks to Jim, the hero who told you everything 👍🏻

(I have several guitars so it generally gets played about once every week or two... it’s not for lack of love, it’s just the music my band plays calls for something different) Thanks, Mr. Baker, for all the inspiration.

That was a great story with a great ending Robert! If there was ever an anti-relic'ing video to watch this is it folks! See, THIS is why some of us scoff at relic guitars, THERE"S NO STORY BEHIND THOSE SCUFFS AND SCRATCHES!!!! Isn't it funny though, here we have guys taking new or fairly new guitars and trying to make them look old and then we have a truly old one that someone made it look new again. I think the guitar was destined to be refinished so Robert Baker could tell his story with it. It never surprises me when things like this happen, I do believe there is a higher power that intercedes in our lives down here for whatever reason that power chooses to. I call that power God, others call it fate or Buddha or whatever, but to think life down here just plays out willy nilly is really put to shame when we hear of things like this happening. Maybe your guitar videos have saved someones life Robert? Some kid somewhere lost and thinking about ending it happens to stumble across one of your videos and it sparks a desire in him to play the guitar and from there he feels important or that he has a calling or maybe it just gives him something to do to take his mind off of his young man problems long enough that he grows up and has a happy life. Who knows how far we ALL reach others just doing what we do everyday. It's like that movie, It's a Wonderful Life, we never truly know how much impact our life has on others until one day someone says, "Hey, it's because of you that I ________".

my mother always told me if you loose out on something u really want not to get down cause its just god telling u you has something better for you u just have to wait a little longer for it. and I have seen this in my life that it does seem to happen this way as it happened to you. if you would have gotten the first guitar you would have missed out on this guitar that means so much as had so many factors go in to it meeting you. this is awesome I have a 67 vox clyde McCoy signature wah with a similar story I had missed out on one an found another at a estate sale for a steal. so god works in mysterious ways be he always wants what is best for us!!! glad to hear your story reaffirms my beliefs!!

It’s traditionally thought of as a good human, one that cares about others and does the right thing by them.

Yeah I thought about that, but most people arnt comfortable being on camera. I wanted him to be as comfortable as possible and not stressed because cameras were on :)

Never could have thought about a better ending than giving him the black strat
@RP-dy5mu 4 жыл бұрын
Um, giving him the white strat? The guitar that he owned finds its way back to its owner who was forced to sell it due to financial troubles? That would be a MUCH better ending.

Yeah you are right, but you don't just give something you just paid multiples thousand dollars for and is at the same your dream guitar. Still ill give to you it would have been the craziest and nicest ending

I am COMPLETELY happy to know we are exactly the same when it comes to GIVING! It means everything. Real joy lives. Good stuff Robert. Truly. I've given about a dozen guitars and other gear away to those who didn't have a particular way to make music etc.... It's the way to live bro. God Bless you.
