Your not the real deal
Pawn Stars love you guys
You posted that comment 1 day before the uploads.
Guess you were 1st 👍
This guy is 50 times more famous and more important than he portrays himself to be. I can’t believe he just causally mentions “oh yes I did the James Bond theme with this guitar”. That right there is true modesty and humility. What an absolute legend!
but he did not !
It’s the old “stiff upper lip” thing. You won’t see the English the sweat, and they don’t boast, not the common folk
He states in an interview with Fender that he didn't even use a Strat for the Bond Theme because he was awaiting an insurance claim because his Fender was stolen. Search: Fender Exclusive with Guitarist Vic Flick
@@colinhumphrey7833 He did, he is the one who played it, he might have not been the original creator of it, but he still played the theme.
@@JoelPlay Yes Vic Flick played The James Bond theme but not on that Strat, saw him say in an interview that he recorded it on a Semi Acoustic !
You see him touch the guitar, giving it a light tap at the last part before agreeing. That's him silently giving his partner a silent goodbye. Sends chills down my spine.
So true. Not gonna lie I felt that one.
A year later sold it at auction for 25k lol
Good catch - very sweet moment. It’s like he’s passing it on to the next player, the next musical journey.
So glad to see that someone felt my same emotion🥺 but I still don't understand why selling it :(
How did a small touch on a guitar give u chills lol. People gets chills over anything now?
**Gets 55k cash** yeah I'll just go out and drink some beer with the wife. What a legend
Hes probably already loaded man I mean he did it all
I know, im surprised he didnt say snort some coke
According to celebrity networth and rockstar networth, the guy is worth half a million dollars. I thought it would be more with everything he has done
Classic, me and the wife go grab a 🍺🍺
It would be funny if he said “I’m gonna go buy some cocaine and find me a hookers. The retirement home will be rocking all night.”
The way he touched his Strat before he accepted the offer brought tears to my eyes.
True
Same
Yup..
It was like he was saying bye to an old friend.
Definitely a loving way of saying goodbye to what he believes to be a dear friend.
Vik Flick is such a gentleman. So distinguished, yet humble, courteous, polished and classy. A generation that had class.
Something that Americans can't understand
R.I.P. Vic Flick. The greatest guitarist, nobody has ever heard of.
@@lhasaroadrat9374 Can you give an example?
@ Thanks. Might be an idea to delete that comment.
@@treefrog1956 ok
“Hey Rick, how you doing today ?”
wow I have no idea, let me call in the expert
ColdTurkey 😂
*calls his therapist*
generation stupid Well Rick, let me get some examples that I have here on file and we will go from there
🤣
Uno he takes all the risk
When he pats the guitar before the hand shake, I can't even imagine the emotions going through his head.
i noticed the same...
Tender moment. Poignant. Glad you caught that too, and respected the sentiment behind it.
Actually made me cry, I remebered going through the same thing when I had to sell my drum. But it was after 10 years, I can't imagine the feeling after all these years..
Great man.
Money Talks!
He’s retiring and he absolutely doesn’t need the money based on the royalties he probably gets
The appraiser wanted to shake his hand SOOOO bad.
Or hug him lol
He did. 4:21
This is a repeat before CoVID-19 would have any widespread governmental coverage concerning them unless they delt with foreign affairs.
You saw that? 😂
@@johncloois3301 i thought so
RIP Vic. Thank you for all the great playing on so many songs.
I just read that. I’ve seen this clip before, it’s one of my favourites. Jesse (sp?) was really respectful and kind. Vic acted like a real gentleman, and Rick didn’t low ball or insult.
Apparently, it sold at auction for $25,000 in 2014. What a steal. What a gentleman. I will now always associate that James Bond theme with him.
Never seen a guy this humble, a true legend
And compare it to the pop star today with one hit single. They think they own the world.
@@reubenisaac702 tell that to Rihanna and Bieber
@@reubenisaac702 most pop stars have more than one hit btw
he's also held under contract with many NDA's he signed years ago, I hope he writes a book that would blow the Beatles myth wide open, and prove to the world what frauds the Beatles were
This guy has so many accomplishments, you can tell he’s uncomfortable talking/ bragging about them.
Let me show you my partial list. :pulls out 36 pages: 😳
Brian Esposito Lol
Brian Esposito only to prove the usage of the guitar on the tracks he’s been featured on. If he didn’t have that list with him, the value would have been substantially less. If I bought the guitar for 55k, I’d like to know why I’m spending that kind of money on it. Then I read that list and say, “that’s why”
David A Velasquez Yes, I understand he was providing provenance. 👍🏼
David A Velasquez Indubitably! 😉
As a guitarist myself, I'm sure it must have been so hard to let that guitar go, regardless of the money.
But, it's also the realisation at some point, that we aren't around forever and we are merely custodians for the materialistic things we hold dear.
God bless Vic Flick an 83 year old legend....enjoy your cold beer sir.
I was thinking about that, such an important and soulful guitar but still I guess he had to get rid of it. I find it kind of sad to have lost something that cherishable
It's got a great story to tell. But one of the things that bugged me as I look at it was that it doesn't have the original bridge pickup. Wish he hadn't made that modification. It probably cost him some $$ too.
@@dciccantelli We don't know how long that bridge pick up has been on there but no doubt it was part of his sound, and that in part is why he got as much as he did for it.
Agreed, as a bassist, I'm waiting for John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin to bring in his 1962 Fender Jazz bass that he played throughout Zep days and still uses. Not holding my breath though he's got children and grandkids. I'll bet they'll inherit it.
@@MrSoulman74 If anything, I would think that the "mini humbucker" in the bridge would actually decrease the value a bit, because it wasn't the original. Not sure when a humbucker designed for a Strat was invented, but I imagine it was well into the 1980's
"you're sort of a rockstar, that's my quandary." Rick, you are a sleaze for saying that to that man.
dvincentblack but I mean, you tag that guitar as rick flick’s not a lot of people know who he is. I didnt before this video. He’s gotta sell it at a crazy price using his name. Its not Jimi Hendrix, SRV, or Steve Vai it’s rick flick. 😂
@@MrTehnoobshowfan He is an absolute legend amongst us musicians! Have you ever heard of another group of people called The Wrecking Crew?
Anyhoo, Rick has about as much tact as an alligator. Lol. No class. Peace. D
Without tattoos Rick needed to bring in an expert to verify rock royalty.
He's a rock star TO the rock stars
@@dvincentblack Glenn Campbell was part of the wrecking crew. 👍
Vic Flick is extremely humble man... He could have said so much more than he actually did, very quiet about his accomplishments.
This guy has no idea how important to music he really is. His humbleness is incredible!
im 63 and as a little boy I distinctly remember that guitar playing to Ringo walking in the beatles cartoon
THAT was just cool. Now I have to go look up Vic Flick.
Exactly the same thing I did lol 😂
That ax is worth 100+ k just on historical ez in 20 more years. Get all the info while flick still ticks
Me too!!!!
@@lucienvandegaart3611 The guitar sold at a 2014 auction for $25,000. The store took a bath on that buy.
FABNA FABNA
He really did play James Bond theme
Victor Harold Flick
Vic Flick. Victor Harold Flick (born 14 May 1937) is an English guitarist, best known for playing the guitar riff in the "James Bond Theme".
Jesus this guy is so cool
Rick lost 30000, US $ in auction tho, the guitar was sold out at just 25000 US $.
@@sonyahao7814 where did you found this info?
@@sonyahao7814 I don't believe that for a second.
David Kastin It’s true, sold on JuliensLive Action for $25,000 on December 5th 2014
I love how he is so modest and so very English about the whole situation, one of my favorite PS clips
This episode is one of my favorites. Vic is such a legend. So many great songs he played on, wow!
Rick Beato just did a video on the James Bond theme and mentioned Vic Flick. I saw this video about a year ago and as soon as Rick mentioned Vic, I came back here and also posted the link on Rick's video on You Tube.
As soon as he said his name Vic Flick my jaw dropped. One of the unsung heroes of popular music.
@chris rocco Better known in the UK (and to people of an older generation). I actually recognised him before they said who it was.
@chris rocco Yeah, pretty much.
This should be in a museum. Not sold to a pawn shop
daniel Goad This should be played. Not behind some glass
It's his, not yours.
Daniel: At auction it could well be bought by a museum, collector or well known musician.
I mean ricks pawn shop is kinda a museum
Good thing it's not your decision.
This guitar was played on hundreds of records but the guitar Vic Flick used for the James Bond Theme Tune sessions was a Clifford Essex Paragon Deluxe with DeArmond 1000 Rhythm Chief pickup. I recommend his book, "Vic Flick Guitarman - from James Bond to the Beatles and Beyond ... there are some great stories and insights into his life and experiences.
This man must be one of the most humble man i have ever seen in Pawn Stars, RESPECT !
Considering what he has contributed to music and how famous he could be, what a change to see someone who isn't full of themselves!
Great bloke!!
Guy walks into Rick's pawn shop and asks, "do you have a public restroom"?
Rick ; "let me call my buddy. He knows all about that kind of stuff".
Kentucky Windage 22 😂😂😂
They should have plugged it in and had him play a little.
yeah and do the james bond
@@Brusko661 that would have gotten copyrighted
Exactly!
Maybe they asked ahead of time, and he didn’t want to. Maybe he doesn’t play anymore. I’ve known a few people where that’s the case. I don’t always understand it, but it’s true.
kerpital they clearly did plug it in and try it. But the lead to the guitar keeps appearing and disappearing with the amount of editing going on.
Surely Sothebys Auction would have been the appropriate place to sell this guitar. I can’t understand how Rick only got $25,000 at auction, I mean who auctioned it a car yard?
Vic passed away Thursday 14th of November 2024, absolute legend. Rest in peace Mr. Vic Flick ...
Vic Flick is one of the greatest studio musicians of all time. Everyone knows his work, just from the James Bond Theme alone. And who can forget his masterful last chord of the James Bond Theme--which musicians today call the "James Bond chord," also known as the "spy chord" or the "007 chord". It's an E minor major 9 chord with an unresolved, dissonant quality. The chord is E-G-B-D#-F#, which is made up of the root note (E), a minor third (G), a perfect fifth (B), a major seventh (D#), and a major ninth (F#).
Instead of the major 7th, it's a 6th, I'm pretty sure.
I could not let go of something like that, There's so much history there, A beautiful 61 strat,
Well he needed the money, and he probably had many more of em at home
I was born in 57 and had a brother in-law who's Brother had a 57 just like that and pristine. No history like this one. Wow?
Yes Rod , but nobody lives for ever it’s go to let go at the end and the new owner will continue to honor a legent
here's a 36 page partial list of the records i played on.
legend
"You're kinda of a rock star." Vick Flick is the man! I'd love to have that guitar and especially the play list of the songs played on it! 👍💖🎸😎
RIP Vic Flick 😢 a gentleman and a king among guitar players…a great person who left us. Today, the world is a little bit worse than yesterday
The expert is very polite and respectful. I love his humble gesture. ❤❤❤
For anyone curious, Rick took a HUGE hit on this when he sold it at auction as it only sold for $26,000
Robin Lee he does take risks haha
How can I know about the actions? Are they filmed?
26k xd,and how much was the tax ?
good
looks like that "expert" isn't coming back anytime soon 😂
thats your english gentleman right there, humble guy with an amazing career and beautiful guitar
Guy: I’ve found the holy grail!
Rick: I can give you 5 bucks and a used condom and I’m taking all the risk here.
Copied
He did take the risk and lost huge.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@fishingwithharrie I remember that episode.
Rick had it at Auction and he made something like HALF of what he paid for it.
I was totally -- SHOCKED -- at the outcome.
I could not BELIEVE it went so cheap given the PEDIGREE this thing has.
This made me LOL!!
Sadly, Vic passed away today. At 87 years.
R.i.p
It's not about if Vic is a rock star. It's about the number of iconic songs this guitar appears on. The guitar itself is the rock star.
I guess, maybe for collectors, but I could care less who played a guitar when I buy one. So it all depends on the current market state for collectible guitars..
Edit: after a quick google search for example a year later in 2014 it sold at auction for $25k. So Rick took a hit on this purchase…
@@GnomeChomsky9999 You don't care where it was played. That's why you wouldn't buy it. Serious collectors do care. And a bad idea not to place a reserve on a fifty five thousand dollar investment.
"Id like to get $70,000"
Rick-"Look,I can give you a used chopstick & a bag of marbles-thats the best I can do"
“And I’m taking all the risk”
If it makes you feel better, Rick actually lost a ton of money on this purchase. It only brought $25,000 at the auction they put it in.
@@bobg4666 how do u know? thats cool info
@@mattsiegel2943 I read in it an article some where. They put in an auction and it only brought $25,000. But all the Pawn Shop loses are tax deductible so in the end it’s not much of a loss I suppose.
I’m amazed that the expert wasn’t complaining about the bridge pickup being not original. They really saw the value in the records that the guitar has been on, really cool.
I am sure he noticed that Seymour Duncan “Hot Rails” humbucker but I think the original PU was in that bag on the side. That action seem SUPER high. They should have made sure that truss rod was functional.
@@rallypoint1 action was really high indeed! And the humbucker... Why? It wasn't "original" anymore, even if it was a stunning piece!
5:16 when he taps the guitar 4-5 times means its hurting his soul to sell something so important to him for that price, then that brief little pause after is him imagining all the stuff he has accomplished with that guitar which leads him to sell it at the price he didn’t really want to but i guess he needed the money thats when he shakes ricks hands with no words basically signifying ( it is what it is )
Man this guy is so humble doesn’t even act like he’s an important role model when he’s accomplished 37 pages top to bottom of success. God bless this mans soul.
I doubt he really needs the money considering his royalties, most likely he’s rather give it a new home and get paid for it rather than let it collect dust in his house.
Rest in peace Vic. An unknown legend. Wouldn't have heard of him without Pawn Stars.
He was in loads of James Bond documentaries too.
Rest in piece Vic Flick🕊️
You will be missed greatly
What an amazingly humble man! This was amazing to watch!
Vic Flick was born and raised in the same town as me in England... He is literally the most famous person to come from our town which is a tiny place!! 😂
He's still alive I believe.
Rick: "You're sort of a rockstar."
No, Rick, he IS a rockstar. That's like calling you a "sort of a lowballer", when we all know you ARE a lowballer.
Best comment
Hit that one on the head.
Well, except most offers are no where near lowballing!
He will be remembered as a talented, humble gentlemen forever. Rest in peace Vic😌
Rest in peace Mr. Vic Flick. Your music will live on forever…
RIP Vic Flick. Another great player passed into legend.
The humble attitude of this old dude is refreshing compared to the in your face, look at me, I'm the best etc.
...a literal scholar of electric guitar...nice.
It’s horrible a man with the history he has, has to sell his guitar.
That's what I thought. If only the legends he worked with could chip in and give him the money he needs and let him keep his guitar.
At that age he’s probably more happy to hang out with his wife and play one of his other guitars when he feels like it. He’s lived a life and left a dent. Time to relax.
He probably has many more valuable guitars in his collection. He's stoked he got 55k.
@@markg2494 I bet you're right, but that was still hard to watch.
Especially to someone who doesn't care less about it
Vic was a class act. Sad that he recently passed away. May he RIP.
How absolutely ENGLISH is this guy? Makes me proud. Humble soul. Wonderful accomplishments. Imagine being him at the cinema hearing his Stratocaster blowing everyone away and just sitting there quietly. What a guy. I’m a guitarist. That must have been a real heart wrenching walk away from that beautiful legendary guitar.
What a legend of a guitarist. Wow, what a find!
It’s actually sad when legends let their guitars go like that.
True. A guy like him should be buying vintage guitars, not selling them! Keep it in the family.
The guy is getting on in years. The money will keep him entertained for a while, more than the guitar. Beside, he probably has a bunch more guitars at home that also played on those gigs.
Exactly. That's something your children should inherit.
@@charlespatrick1572 Yes, Vic Flick had several.
As he pat's it one last time you could almost feel a tear in his eye's...well done chap...
He patted that guitar before silently shaking Ricks hand in agreement, he didn’t want to sell that guitar, he obviously needed the money. I felt for him there.
Dude was a humble sort. Seems he did a lot and got around. Got some good money too. Was fun to watch. Great video
The infamous Vic Flic disaster purchase! lol
My heart hurts. I wish he didn’t need to sell a huge piece of his life.
Well but we don't know the full context on why. He's getting older, maybe it's time to let someone else cherish it. Maybe the $ will go towards his grand kids college, which would be incredibly worth it. Imagine the history he's built up with that guitar and to top it off, as a result it pays for his grand kids college, that's the ultimate good bye present if you ask me. Idk, I'd say he probably had a very legitimate reason for selling it, I'm sure it was thoroughly thought over before making the decision.
Jason W well. We do know. That guitar sold at auction in 2014 for 25k lol
@Kuletzkie guelas Not just capitalism is to blame, but modern society in its entirety
Jim Beau better he sells it cause when he passes away it well be passed on to some one to the family and they would probably give it away or sell it for alot less than its real value and THAT would hurt alot more.
He probably didn't mind. "I think my wife and i will pop a beer or two to celebrate". Also the guy played in an Oscar Ceremony and plenty of famous films so i dont think he was running outta cash
Even for $55k. You could see...he didn’t want to let it go completely. Lots of memories on that instrument. Near priceless I’m sure.
Although he said afterwards that he was expecting to get offered 30-35k.
This is one of my favorite deals in the show. Vic Flick is such a class act, and so humble. The only thing that would have made this scene better is if they showed Vic playing the guitar a bit.
Rest in peace Vic !
Sweet!! But I would bet that MR Flick has a couple Hendrix owned and signed strats, alongside a couple Page signed Gibson's and lord only knows what else. This was probably one of his lower end guitars.
He lost 38k re-selling this guitar, Rick got Goldfingered.
Sabrina Hallt source? Im intressed
@@Kelvinpierre99 If you read Vic Filck's Wikpeida page it says was sold for $25,000 at auction - but it is Wiki so have to take it with a pinch of salt
I saw someone complaining on one of vics videos that rick didn't ask vic to sign it when he bought it. Probably would have sold for even more
Goldfingered lol
Auctions are never a sure thing.
When he tapped the guitar it was kinda sad letting go to a something that was been with you for a lifetime
I got that, too. That guitar was his life.
Yea. It’s a bummer he needed the money and had to sell it .
Flick is a beast! He’s been around a long time and deserves all the recognition that’s evaded him. I think he likes not being a huge star. Really nice guy too.
“I take all the risk.” People give Rick a lot of flak for that phrase, but this guitar is a good example of why purchases can be so risky. He bought it for $55k and sold it at auction for $25k, a $30k loss.
I seen that why was that tho I wonder
I saw this show when it aired, and couldn't believe Rick had never heard of Vic Flick! Sad to see him willing to sell his guitar. I imagine he's got more guitars, but still...
That guitar is arguably the most heard musical instrument in history.
RIP, Vic Flick.
I actually teared up when he shook his hand. Letting go of a part of your life...and something that is part of so many people's life...that's tough. Then again, he may have played on all those songs, but who knows if it was with THAT guitar. Still, any 61 strat, is worth about 40K.
I mean at his age with all those accomplishments i would definitely sell the guitar, hopefully to let that part of me on a museum and not in rich guy house…
Surprised he doesn't know who Vic Flick is...he's nothing short of a legend.
4:02 his reaction when Jesse said he can sell the guitar on auction 😂
"Pop out for a beer or two" LEGEND.
vic flick is a genuine guitar hero, and it is a shame he is not more well recognised, top guitarist/top man... so humble, jessies reaction is genuine
That's the life of being a sessions player. The guys are uber talented, but don't front a rock band in front of a crowd, so they don't get the recognition. Waddy Wachel is a younger one, who is in the same boat.
Rest in peace vic.❤
the way he pats the guitar before he makes that deal, like saying goodbye to your kid for the last time
The first thing I saw when he opened the case was the SD Hotrails. I hope the original bridge pickup was in there.
I saw that too and had the same thought.
Might also be a Cool Rails. They look identical. But I don't think they were made 'til the '80's, so doubtful that pup was used on any of those songs. However, the "baggie" on the counter, looks like it might have the original pickup in it.
I see now that this has been covered in other posts. ;-)
I remember watching this episode. What never came up, even by the so called 'guitar' expert, is the guitar isn't stock, and the bridge pickup has been changed with a double coil blade pickup. Still an iconic guitar, but any expert would have pointed that out immediately and known it affects the value.
Matt Horan I was thinking the same thing
glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that...it did look like it had been in there a while though.
While true, the real "value" of this guitar is not in the physical upgrades. It's where it's been, who's played it, and what it has played. A collector isn't really going to care about incremental upgrades.
Pretty sure the original bridge pickup is in the little plastic bag next to the guitar
Matt Horan I thought same. Rails pick ups are a 90s customization. I think it shows that these programs are reality tv and the best shots are used in the final edit. Good call. Having him play a few licks would have been great.
Rick: "So... you taught Jimmy Page...?"
61' Strat owner: "...... I helped Jimmy Page..... Yes.. I advised him....."
That is literally the most humble flex I've ever heard........... LOL
I would bet that was about how to read the sheet music.
Check out Vick's backstory, he was literally the guy Page, Beck and a handful of other session guys ( pre Yardbirds) tried to copy his style and playing technique. He was truly an amazing player, maybe the most sought after session guitarist ever.
I just read it sold for $25,000 at auction in 2014! 😂
Vic Flick appeared on a 2013 episode of the History Channel show Pawn Stars titled "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service". Here he brought in his 1961 Fender Stratocaster guitar to shop owner Rick Harrison, who, after consulting Jesse Amoroso, settled on a price of $55,000 for the guitar. The guitar sold at auction in 2014 for $25,000. (Wikipedia)
Vic Flick is one humble and classy guy!
Vic Flick is a great guitarist, in fact he one the greatest guitar players ever.
The fact that they did not mention the unorginal pick up says this was just done for tv, cool story though and an amazing man.
That and even as an "unknown", he had the paperwork/industry cred to back up his claims. No way did he just think, ya know who might like this? Rick Harris. I'm glad it was on TV because I now know who Mr. Flick is. Sweet guitar!
Also, I blame Tom Green for my strange behaviour.
The pickup was probably in the bag, but that's also not the original pickguard or the original switch and the guitar has been repainted with a non-factory white.
But the fact that he played with the parts that are on the guitar makes them valuable.
That pick up is way before Seymour Duncan or any other commonly known brand of today.
Vic Flick! What a lovely chap!
This happened in 2013. Rick Harrison sold it at an auction in 2014 and lost $30,000 when it sold. It only brought $25,000.
Such a lovely man, and I gather he's a legend. I imagine the expert was dying to invite him for a beer or something, but just couldn't do that, because that goes too much against what is expected of an expert on the show.
I guessing, but I bet he hung around and after the filming had a good chat with him.
Man, that’s one guitar that defined a history of sound. That would be a nugget for any collector. He earned that beer 🍺! Hah..
I love that he put a rail humbucker in a 61 Strat. What a psycho 😂
I did the same thing on my strat. Yea, I'm a Les Paul kind of guy.
It looked like the original pu was in a bag in the case
It looked like the original pu was in a bag in the case
That’s coz he’s a PLAYER. and not a tool drooling over how old his guitars are. He played the crap out of that. I wonder if he’s even a collector.
He’s a staple in music history. Yea...total psycho😶
Rip Vic. Believe it or not, "Pawn Stars" is where I knew him from.
He’s gonna miss his old friend greatly
Surprised nothing was mentioned about the bridge pickup not being original? Looks like some sort of hot rails.. would say that would effect price at auction even who the owner was..
Agree. Unless he guaranteed that he has the original bridge pickup.
@@limoncr5205 Probably the original one is in the case 0:22
Beclouder I think you can see the original pickup in a bag in the case! The pickguard is definitely not original though... still a really cool custom color strat
thats ok, its been mentioned in the comments section about 20 times lol
Yeah probably lil 59. Can’t see the dude putting a hot rail in.
Why would anyone in their right mind bring a vintage guitar to a pawn shop, much less Pawn Stars.
This may have been done for the "show" only not actually sold.Someone that's been around as long as Vic knows a pawn shop wont give you the actual value of an instrument.They are a business and have to make money. Reality shows while entertaining there's not much reality going on.Still an entertaining show show to watch.
@@finoroverato7640 I was thinking the same thing.
Considering the guitar ended up selling for only $25,000 at auction, it seems like he did a pretty good job bringing it to Pawn Stars.
Brian Wilson Someone lost money on it, wonder if Harrison is the one that took a bath when he sold it or if a collector bought it then auctioned it.
If this is Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys commenting, i'm gonna screenshot it and see what Rick will give me for it.
Rick: Let me call in an expert.
.....Mike Love walks through the door.
No one noticed that the bridge pick up had been changed, where is the original one? Makes a big difference on guitars like that. Vic is a musicians musician, not many of them around nowadays
Jesse looked stoked to meet him!!
