This was my favorite Rig Rundown EVER. What a GREAT human being. So humble and kind. So talented. Playing is so fluid and his guitars, pedals and amps all make perfect sense. John Bolinger was clearly in awe of Wariner's chops. And John is such a warm, genuine guy too. MAD PROPS!!! Well done. Bravo

This is wonderful, thank's PG. (And Bohlinger needs to do all rig rundowns, but that's old news).

This guy could make a shoe lace sound great.

This one was really Special. Some of these are great but this one is EXCELLENT!!

Fantastic rig down! Steve Wariner is an amazing musician and very humble too.

One the the absolute best guitar players you’ll ever see that’s under appreciated for his unbelievable skill! Love SW

My dad used to own a sewing machine shop in Murfreesboro, TN. One day a guy came in to buy a machine, and my dad looked up when the guy said hello. He found himself face to face with Steve Wariner himself.

That's probably my favorite John Bolinger interview, enjoying himself as a fan and co-gear head and Steve.... Well I had some fun for this weekend! Merry Christmas to both and all of us in the audience!

Simply the the most humble and kick ass icon guitar picker I ever seen; simply the coolest - mega respect and salutations to Steve! 💪🎸🤟

Great interview with a Legend. Since Steve mentioned James Burton several times, John I wish you would go to his home in Shreveport and interview him, it sure would make for some great stories and some cool looking guitars. Thanks. Merry Christmas.

Steve has to be the nicest person ever.

This is more than a Rig Rundown. This is musical history.

Thank you SO MUCH for this John and PG. Probably the best RR I've seen yet. Had no Idea Steve Wariner was such an awesome person AND an absolute monster player!!!

love the tip of the hat to...Burton, Reggie Young and Clarence White!

Every time I watch one of the John's rig rundowns I think it's the best one yet but they just keep getting better and better. As of today, this has to be one of my all time favorites. Great questions for one of the most gifted guitar players ever. What a great guitar and amp collection.

What a champ. Gentleman and humble. Nice work as well John.

Master player

I love the EV V2 ribbon mic in the back. Looks like the one my pops gave me he used in his band in the late 50’s.

Very cool! It's awesome how much respect he has for his son!

I was enjoying the video until the goofy guy started stepping over priceless guitars on the floor.😬 If he had broken that nocaster Steve would've probably went and found the lawnmower blade 😂

That guy right there? That's a guitar player

I think this was really an excuse for John to hang out with Steve.

One of my musical heroes. Thanks guys!

I am impressed that finally Premier Guitar has a interview with a great player like Steve Warner . Never did I think that an event like this would be done. Rock and Metal players and their skills , all are good . But a player like Steve Warner and the likes of the country players , are more than top notch . Especially giving a honorary title by Chet Atkins . These old guys for my love of music rock as good and better than anyone alive today .

As a country picker Steve has ALWAYS been at the top of my list for inspiration ! Great video and interview!

It's a pleasure to watch someone who loves what they do

I love players that stare down the interviewer while they rip off ridiculous shit 😂😂😂

when the aliens come and want the best guitar player ever known to mankind. I will send them to Steve.

I saw Steve play at Grand Ole Opry in ‘97. Never heard of him because I didn’t like country and got dragged there. I about crapped my pants! He could do it all. Incredible singer, amazing player, electrifying performer. Made a convert out of me.

Jack Pearson Rig Rundown request! One of the best!

Best rig rundown by far

John...I hope someone got you a new pair of "chucks" for X mas..:)

Notice the black tape wrapped around one of Johns shoes to hold it together, I hope Steve took John out after the interview, and buys John a new pair of shoes.

Steve is awesome as usual and that signature Gretsch sounds and looks amazing. I still have his Secrets of a Hot Nashville Picker VHS tape from back in the day.

One of my guitar hero's!! Love Steve's music and playing.

This was such a wonderful video with an amazing man! Wow, I love the stories and just what a life Steve has lived🙌🙏💙

Simply fantastic. One of the best rundowns ever

Thanks Uncle Jimmy

seems like a real nice guy and a great player no doubt!!

I played at several telethons in Kentucky where he played. IMO one of the most underrated guitar players ever but also one of the nicest guys ever. Phenomenal player AND person.

This is a good Rig Rundown, thanks Steve Wariner.

All you shredders or cheese cutters out there get a load of a GUITAR PLAYER!!

A great interview. Thanks Premier Guitar and Steve Wariner.

Awesome. Would love more country guitarists on rig rundown.

Boy that was truly cool. Steve is one of my guitar idols.

Gretsch guitars are so versatile. Great to see they are still experimenting.

Tone master baby.

After hearing this pick-up combination, I knew I had to put these pickups (including coil-split functionality) into my 2018 Electromatic Jet. Well, there was one thing Steve W. left out which is important to me and therefore quite disappointing. While I can use the individual volume controls to sought the issue, I prefer to leave individual volumes on 'full' as there is no bleed circuit on the these volume pots and I don't want to lose any brightness by turning down volumes. The issue is the neck pickup has significantly higher output than the bridge pick-up, switching from neck to bridge means having to compensate with a boost pedal - not just when switching to single coil mode as mentioned by Steve W. I love the Duo-tron. Should have also put one in the bridge instead.

I didn't know who Steve was until I saw this video... I want to be adopted into this wonderful family ! fantastic !

Great Rundown...great player, great instruments...and I want John’s Shirt!

This is one of my favorite Rig Rundowns! Steve is a fantastic player! Beautiful chords, beautiful everything! Thanks.

One of my all time favorite singers in the world and a bad ass guitar player! He helped change country music to be what the 90's were to country! Check out Life's Highway and so many more....

this is what i call a christmas present!

Steve....it's way past time for you to record a CD or 2 (or 12) with Vince Gill. Two of Nashville's finest talents....great singers, phenomenal pickers on one CD? I can only imagine the music they would produce.

great interview

BB King's Gibson semi-hollow body doesn't have f-holes painted on it - why paint them on? Other than that, and the price, I want that Steve Wariner Gretsch, although it wouldn't make me play like him. It even has jumbo frets, when most custom shop guitars seem to be using the tall-narrow frets now - jumbos just make it feel better to play for me (and Steve). Cheers!

Haha foot always tapping... The greats all have great time😁

Saw Steve in concert several times in RS ky.. one time I saw Steve with Chet Atkins in concert at my old high school.. and Terry....

Chet Atkins also granted CGB to Lenny Breau. Too bad Lenny died too young. Check out some of the recordings he made on the collection ”Boy Wonder."

That sig Gretsch is insane.

purely for anthropological reasons, could someone who came away with a negative from this interview give feedback as to why

Had the honor to meet SW back in the late 90’s and he was just as sweet as he is in this interview. Well done PG.

Ok so I have a new item on my bucket list... to visit this room!!!

John Bollinger should be a star. Great personality and good interviewer.

Need a dark blue one and call the color Kansas City Nights Blue

Amazing! Try to get Marty Stuart sometime!

This is what you get when love and passion of their craft meet.

Can we all chip in some money to buy John Bollinger some new shoes? So he doesn’t have to wear tape around them anymore

I am a fan of Steve for sure, I would love to hear your take on Glen Campbell!!!

I have a feeling his idea of crazy stuff he asked for was not near as crazy as what some of these people want in there custom guitar

Great episode :) I love Steve Wariner

Hey Steve does that 60s strat have the 3 way Switch ... ..

Ryan needs his own rundown video!

wow, enjoying this very much!

Well, I guess I just became a Steve Wariner fan.

Any speculation about who gave Steve Wariner the Nocaster? He gives some hints but says he can't reveal the name.

That was a great Chet impression! 😂😂

Sweet vintage axes! Cool stories too!

as others have said, this is one of their best interviews. steve=cgp

Fabulous! This is great stuff

This guy is a great interviewer..never gets in the way

Excellent Rundown John !

all I can say is Wow!!!!! Excellent rundown

Peter Frampton is also a CGP.

You may be bad........but you'll never be john throwing a nocaster on the floor badass ha ha ha 'and I threw it on the ground" 😁

First time I saw Steve Wariner he was playing bass guitar for Glenn Campbell on Galveston. He did a solo then and I knew he was the real deal. Now I see he's a great person too. :)

I live in the same town in Kentucky as Steve's brother Terry... We are very good friends... I knew Terry's Uncle Jimmy also.. Great family... Sano

Great conversation with a real pro! That new Gretsch looks fantastic. All those guitars sounded great even with a little too much chorus and delay on, but I just don’t get into the fetishized worship of 1950’s and early 60’s Fender guitars. I would love to hear one of these sit downs with someone with so many vintage instruments do an A/B with something like a Fender American original reissue or one of their Vintera style Mexican. I suspect we really wouldn’t be able to hear a difference with so many great vintage voiced pickups made now.

Steve Wariner's a great guy / musician.....but make no mistake ...Tom B's a great player also ,👍

the master for sure

No SW341 Takamine?

Wonderful interview

Yeah, I keep my $100k guitars on my carpet, too. It’s cool to see we’re not that different

Dang ,,,that's a snappy sounding telecaster !!! Love 💘 it !!!

I know I’m late to the party - but it’s cool to see JB so entranced by Steve’s playing. The gear is amazing, but Steve is so nice and you can see they both enjoyed making the vid.

Love the Mark O'Connor, Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill , Steve Wariner, Who is A Great, Great person." I'm Restless"

Don't know crap about guitars , longtime Steve Wariner fan... had to watch great interview from such a talented gentleman!
