In this video, we'll visit Abba's Music Store in Henderson, Kentucky. I bought my first, second, and third electric guitars at this store and took my first lesson from it's owner. I've always made it a point to stop in from time to time because it's always like a treasure hunt in there. Never know what you're going to see, especially in THE BACK of the store! You're about to see some cool vintage gems. Stick around to the end to see what I bought.

Don’t ever lose your enthusiasm, Brad. You probably just took thousands of guys back to their childhood music store and lessons days. Good stuff.

I had found a couple of old shops full of Vintage Guitars now gone one filled National slide older than dirt. one was $150.00 and I had no money luck of the draw a Rickenbacker with Amp in the case $125.00 and I regret not buying that one had the money in my pocket too. a 63 just like John Lennon's Dam it went Quick.

We lost our last true mom and pop music store about a year ago because a city official who bought a store for his wife in a adjoining building decided he didn’t want to hear the instruments (super old building) And didn’t want to share parking so he found out who owned the building and bought it and pulled there lease and business license The family showed up for work to the city official and a deputy telling them they were evicted and they had so long to get out what they could get out It’s kinda depressing to drive by and see pianos and drum sets and other stuff they weren’t able to get out still setting in store on display like they’re just closed for the day Mostly all they were able to get out was guitars ,amps and related stuff

Very cool Brad. To bad for the fucking rain! I got tired of it in Ohio and moved way down south. The most southern part of Texas. Being so close to the border I thought oh fuck, But its not as bad as you hear. Not at all! Its great and I am so glad I came. Fuck the rain all the time! The chem trails ruined Ohio. Sounds like the same for Kentucky. This may sound weird but the weather here feels like it did when I was a kid in Ohio.

Garnet amps were made here in Winnipeg Manitoba. A friend of mine learned a lot of his tube theory from Garnet and made his own amps as well. Sadly Garnet passed away several years ago around Christmas. His amps are amazing and crazy loud, they take mods really well if you like that louder Marshall crank sound.

@alohamark3025 4 года назад

The mom and pop stores are getting killed by expensive gear. Small stores cannot absorb all the inventory that Gibson tries to push out to a dealer. Also, all the new manufacturers with equipment that sells at over $1500 per item face two problems: (1) their products are unaffordable by average people, and (2) can't be stocked except by dealers with huge lines of credit with their banks. At the same time, the music industry is cratering. These are sad times.

Ben Coombs I worked for a small chain called Moeller Music in Ohio in the late 80’s. They encouraged us to try and sell Hohners to kids coming in wanting Marshalls. Regardless of how they sounded, the 80’s Metal kids wanted something to make them look like Yngwie. The quality of the equipment was irrelevant to them.

I lived a block away from the Black Diamond string Factory in New Brunswick New Jersey and when they dismantled the building to put condos in I got all the flooring out of the building it was a shiplap 3/4 inch 10 10 in flooring and inside all the grooves were hundreds and hundreds of tiny ball ends that I saved for what reason I do not know after the wood was sanded it was probably the most beautiful would I have ever seen there was something about it chances are it was probably 500 year old wood when you consider the age of the building and the old growth Timber that it was taken from don't quote me though.

They started switching over to abs vinyl in the mid to late 60's and totally by the 70's once all of the leftover nitro cellulose stock was depleted. btw... California EPA also had a hand in this, like banning nitro lacquer finishes in 78, and that's another story.

Man I guarantee there are some gems he's totally forgotten buried deep in that place. What a treasure trove.

Super cool video, and super cool shop! I used to hang around shops like this all the time. Great people, and much more interesting than the chains.

Sean Kerns Stores like this are a dying breed, but they are the heart and soul of the business, without them, everything is corporate, clean, and sterile.

@@TheGuitologist Guys like Chris made getting into guitar a lot less scary. They welcomed me in, and didn't tell me my playing was terrible when I was starting out. That kind of community doesn't really exist any more.

Man that is such a great 63. Vibes galore Hahahaha. It would take me a year to clean that place. I’d be lucky to get past two guitars a day without playing them till my satisfaction. All of them

I used to love looking through my friends music store basement. He used to say I was the only whoever wanted to look in the cave since most things went there to disappear.

Remind me of a place in Denver where I would walk in and one day I saw hanging up was a 1969 Les Paul and the owner said oh that's a copy and it's only $75 and I had the strongest feeling and better yet I just knew it was not a copy it was a it was a Les Paul and $75 I wonder what it's really worth.
