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 👍.

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.

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!

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!

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!!

I have always considered that location to be one of the all-time dumbest "vintage" attributes ever. It's one thing on a hollowbody - just a wasted run of wiring - but to do that extra routing/drilling?!? Yes I KNOW, that wiring helps mute the tone - if you wanted it - or... tick...tock...tick... or NOT wanted it. And a 19c capacitor can do just a fine job, the exact same thing. And YES, I know that Gibson was trying to trick people into buying a Les Paul by making it look as much like a hollowbody as possible. Bet they fooled a whole lot of people, you know how ignunt dem guitarbees be, right? And NO, you don't wanna let me NEAR your valuable vintage guitar, I'd be Commanded by Voices to FIX THAT PUPPY UP... still a whole LOT of vintage, but you can (largely) kiss that "valuable" nonsense goodbye. You're welcome....
