In previous videos, we looked at part of the amazing vintage guitar, amp, microphone, and studio preamp collection of Steve Wilson, former amp tech for Stevie Ray Vaughn, and his good friend Greg Martin of the Kentucky Headhunters. Previously, we got to play Greg's 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard "Hank" Burst through a 1956 Gibson GA-20T amplifier, see some 1930s and 40s era Ludwig WFL drums, and some amazing amps. In this episode, we'll dive even deeper into Steve's collection and start pulling out some more vintage guitars and amps, including an original 1952 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top and a 1959 Fender Strat. Buckle up for another incredible journey down the ultimate gear rabbit hole!

Brad, this hss been a very nice series of videos! I am grateful for your channel, your knowledge and your musical skills. Thanks. 👍😁

You should check out "Tom's Amps Detroit" he leases vintage amps to studios in the Detroit area. He's on Twitter @TomsAmpsDetroit ... his website and contact information is on his profile. I would have put the website link here but RU-vid flags those as spam sometimes

@bradhardisty1652 3 года назад

I love this place. I did press for Kentucky Headhunters about 2013? Also, took great pics of them at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville during the album release for my blog thenashvillebridge.com

Some guys have all the luck. What a great amount of vintage gear. Thanks Brad for this episode of amp hoarders.

“That right there is SRV’s dead skin cells in that amp’s dusty bunny... maybe even some of his toe jam and navel lint, but I can’t be 100% certain about that. But definitely his dead skin cells, for sure.” 😆

@pedraw 3 года назад

when you've been collecting as long as they have you compile a vast amount of gear. It doesn't hurt to know people who buy and sell also.

@tonypoore440 3 года назад

I lmao when he said that piece had "the original dust"

@michaelmenkevich5712 3 года назад

That can be really cool, until you see the original cockroach that snuck in and set up shop

@davidhiatt5384 3 года назад

You keep me thinking about spending money I don’t have. Cool series, great people holy grail shit. Thanks Brad.

@texasfreedomlover4730 3 года назад

Greg Martin is as great of a human being as one can meet. I had the pleasure and privilege of visiting with him many times during the 20 or so Dallas guitar show for Mark Pollock, R.I.P. Ed King too, R.I.P. I remember Greg and me standing to the side of the stage at one Dallas show while Ed was jamming. Ed’s wife/widow also is tops in my book.

@jaycheek254 3 года назад

My buddy here in Eastern Kentucky has a '53 Gibson single cut Prototype with P90s - purchased from the Army commissary when he was in the military. He installed a compensated bridge in place of the trapeze bridge. It's the best playing/sounding guitar I've ever played and I'm a Fender guy.

@bradhardisty1652 3 года назад

Nice!

@mr.d2329 3 года назад

Brad I love your videos .You make me laugh in a year it's hard to find something to laugh about. 👍👍

@mauricedibert2635 3 года назад

The kicker: "i've got 10 of these, 3 of those, 6 of this one" lol

@theguitaramptech 3 года назад

You're spot on about the Marshall Artiste, Brad. I was working on one recently, and I thought it sounded great. Yes, it wasn't as overdriven as a 800 or 900, but that's what I liked about it. If I recall, it was a gain stage short of the equivalent, more popular Marshalls of the day, so it's more than a mod. As you know, the more gain stages involved, the more noise we add on to the original guitar sound.

@MrGTO-ze7vb 3 года назад

I am glad Steve purchased lots of those guitars and amps back in the 1970s.!! I used to cruise around 48th street in NYC and see so many of those old tube amps for $200

@208414 3 года назад

That's a crazy amount of gear. Incredible.

@DetroitWrecker666 3 года назад

Love hearing about those Michigan connections! This is a jem of a video. Thank you!

@sailormike1089 3 года назад

That 52 LP and Slab Strat are in awesome shape. Somebody must have been desperate to put acoustic guitar strings on an electric and kill the relief. Great episode Brad. Cool seeing all that vintage stuff.

@garyyarago2096 Год назад

A perfect episode, a curated tour of a treasure trove, could have watched all night, 10-- Q Brad and fellow hoarders!

@backspin6698 3 года назад

What a treat. This was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

@alexanderdeclercq982 3 года назад

@anjy2l332 3 года назад

Great video. These treasure troves are fun to watch. I'm glad folks hold on to this history.

@robertwilson5058 3 года назад

I could've watched this kinda stuff all day. Just amazing! Sad that it's over. Hope you do another one like this soon.

@michaelmenkevich5712 3 года назад

Brad, thanks for sharing the visit, you have some great rescources in your neighborhood. We hope to see more of the guys and the stories and the collection. Funny how you get so excited by the vintage stuff. So much history.

@BcBaxley 3 года назад

@TheGuitologist 3 года назад

If someone knows Thomas Seiffert, the original owner of that 1959 Fender Strat, have him contact me! I’d like to see what he remembers about it.

@Axess-sv8nq 3 года назад

Good, down-to-Earth guys! Man, just about any classic rock guitarist could LIVE in there and be happy as a clam. All that great stuff! WOW!

@jeffreybroadstock7605 3 года назад

Man this is the most interesting stuff I've seen. Hope you keep going back & record more & more. It seems you have only just scratch the surface with these guys. Great people & it looks like a start of a great friendship.. Cheers from downunder.

@Guitarwolfluke 3 года назад

incredible hang. i did some shows with the headhunters and greg was such a nice guy. didnt meet steve wonder if he was there

@avgjoegeek71 3 года назад

LOL that Strat - omg I'd love to get my hands on that one. Such a nice original piece. And too funny how "Vintage" has changed over the years and that's now a five figure $$ guitar. Thats like a kid in the candy shop - and the guy has all the candy. Very cool man.

@stevesilk51 3 года назад

Guy had to sell his beloved gear to help pay for cancer treatment. That made me so sad! A damning indictment of the US health system. Feel so incredibly lucky to have our NHS in the UK . . .the gift that keeps on giving. Look after his gear man, it must have broken his heart to sell them. May be a nice touch to do a short feature on what he sold to you? Thanks for these vids, so much rock n roll history found in places like this. I'd be like a boy in a toy store. Hi from the UK.

@Kingofpunk 3 года назад

it was heartbreaking to hear that.

@frigglebiscuit7484 3 года назад

if it had been NHS, he would have never gotten treatments at all. would have died in the waiting room.

@julesl6910 5 дней назад

Coolest dudes ever. Thank you for sharing.

@chokkan7 3 года назад

Brad, if you don't mind my saying this, I think you may have found a new direction in which to take your channel. You've already established yourself as a historian in terms of tubes amps, as well as your efforts to preserve them in working order; there is honestly no telling how many such treasure troves exist around the country. I fully realize that both your time and your budget are limited, but to the extent possible...more of this...please!

@rarestpepe8835 3 года назад

He does it from time to time already.

@jakedyer2674 3 года назад

That silvertone 1484 is my dream amp! 🤘🏻 love your videos man, this ones one of my top favorites! 🤘🏻

@Johnsormani 10 месяцев назад

And I thought that I was a hoarder😃. Awesome collection, much better than a new kitchen or new bathroom for sure

@martinreid1740 3 года назад

Sorry I pressed the wrong button before I finished my post . That shop was McCormick's in Bath street where all the big bands would visit. A family music shop which is now sadly gone. At age 15 I would get off the bus on the way to work just to look in the window, nose pressed against the glass. Fond memories.

@kiezersosay49 3 года назад

My favorite history is rock and blues history. These guys have a wealth of knowledge and probably have stories for days. You can tell the love every dial or knob on every amp/guitar.

@toddweaversound 3 года назад

@BockwinkleB 3 года назад

You have the best guitar channel on YT. Seriously.

@johnneider6159 3 года назад

@scottdunn2178 3 года назад

Marshall went to PCB in 1973, and shipped US and Japan models with GE 6550A starting in '74.

@dinglegonzo 3 года назад

I always tell my wife she’s gunna have one hell of a time selling my stuff after I die. I have a basement full of old amps.

@brich2929 3 года назад

You read my mind

@richardweinberger2756 3 года назад

@Return of the Native Understandably so - I am 67, and people of my era believed that more was better. Our parents grew up in a bad depression and many lost everything, and had to start all over again after WW2. The instruments that I buy are mostly damaged and cost me around a hundred for something worth fixing. I hardly ever sell anything for gain, I prefer to sell very cheap to a kid with musical talent but no money, or I just give it for free. I find that to be rewarding, and I hope other hoarders out there are doing the same. In the early 1900's there were over two thousand piano companies in America. How many now? I see free pianos every day on CL, even baby grands. If you are a music lover that has to make you ill .What a waste.

@timlange5125 3 года назад

O my goodness i am sitting here and play my fender frontman every day... i have start playing with 12 now i am 40..you have so many vintage amps man... i were so happy if i only hat one ...i need a beer...puhhh cheers

@MarkBarna1 3 года назад

Some organization, some TLC for the good stuff, and maybe a dumpster for the junk and he's got a nice museum.

@bradhardisty1652 3 года назад

The hairs on my arm became a magnetic force field when I saw that no serial number Les Paul...then...the two knob silver face Fender bass amp. Wow, I almost cried. I got one from the Guitarist of The Surf Punks in California in 89. I used that with an Ibanez Artist to record an entire album in 92. Those 60s era Marshall heads, wow. I haven't made it all the way through. The Fender amp I traded at Highland Music in Birmingham, Alabama for a local build Tube 45 watt dual channel samamp from when Sam was building one offs in 2006. No regrets, I still have the samamp and a Soldano cab. I got a Dr. Z Stang Ray in 2009 for my low watt gigs. I still have that too.

@ravenslaves 3 года назад

This is just like the guitar stores I grew up with. The internet killed most of those, and along with it, the internet killed the opportunity for a lot of younger players to experience the possibilities that are not products of the big box, super terrific, amazingly generic, stores of today. And if you noticed that little, practice, Fender amp...that no one is supposed to know about. Then you'll notice that the build quality blows away most of the crap on the market today, regardless of price or name.

@voodoodr 3 года назад

Isn't it nice when you meet someone twisted similar to yourself? I love peoples junk treasures. Thank you Brad! Keep at it!

@nellsonogmore5938 3 года назад

11:10 I had one of these amps, super bass 100w - what a sound. Especially when the tubes were on there way out.

@hypnoticjazzincorporated2362 3 года назад

Loving the recent videos. Please bring back shitpost friday!!!

@martinreid1740 3 года назад

Great video in these dark lock down days here in Scotland. I'm of the generation of these guys you were with and all those amps takes e back to a music shop in Glasgow where I bought a blond Tremolux head for £25!
