  • They say “never start with an apology”, so we won’t. Not everyone loves vintage guitars - in fact many people think it’s all a load of pish. Dan and I are not such people and so we took this opportunity to visit ATB Guitars in Cheltenham, UK and fill our boots with an afternoon of complete and utter kids-in-a-sweetshop indulgence.
    There is no real point to this video, other than to remind ourselves that it’s only this very moment that ever matters; simply to do and to experience.
    MASSIVE thanks to Mike and David at ATB for making us so welcome and letting us have the run of the store! www.atbguitars.com/ Instagram @atbguitars
    Questions arising…
    Q: Are vintage guitars really ‘better’?
    A: No. Modern guitars aren’t better either.
    Q: You couldn’t tell in a blind test though, could you?
    A: Maybe, but if your brain is trying to tell, you’re not doing anything relating to actual music.
    Q: That’s every guitar gear video ever, isn’t it?
    A: Touché. Probably! The bit after the video in the venue or studio is
    Q: Did Mick buy that Strat?
    A: Not today. But one day when the day is right I will.
    Q: Why didn’t you play the //insert any guitar we didn’t play here//?
    A: We chose the ones that interested us the most.
    We’ll answer everything else we can in Monday’s VCQ.

    19:40-19:47 - Dan is overcome with “the tone”
    20:00-20:05 - A sudden urge of irresponsibility overtakes Dan. “I could probably buy this…” he ponders to himself
    20:06-20:07- Dan begins to regain his mental faculties. “Well, it wouldn’t hurt to check the price.”
    20:08 - Dan reads the price tag.
    20:10 - Dan reads the price tag again.
    20:12 - Dan reads the price tag again, hopelessly wishing the price has somehow lost a digit.
    20:14 - Dan begins to work out what he would have to sell in order to afford “the tone”.
    20:19 - “I don’t _need_ a car… I could bicycle to work.”
    20:35 - “I bet I could fit my whole family into one of those tiny houses. They’re all the rage nowadays…”
    20:46 - Mick stops playing. Dan is suddenly snapped out of his tone coma.
    20:53 - “I’m not crying, you’re crying.”

    I sat down to watch this with my 8 year old daughter in one of those “father/daughter/let’s learn about the joy of things in life” way. I expected her boredom threshold to be up at the 2 minute mark, but she lasted all the way to Mick’s exclamation of, “Sh*t!” after playing the ‘62. She looked up at me with her divine, soft blue eyes and said simply, “Daddy. I love That Pedal Show”. There was nothing for it, I looked back at her and said, “Yup, sweets. So do I”. What a great episode.

    The gallery-like presentation of the store and the sums of money involved legitimise this on the surface but underneath it all, it's just a couple of 5 year old boys walking into a toy shop and gawping, isn't it?

You guys did a wonderful job of conveying the joy of being there and the pleasure of playing and hearing the instruments - thanks!)

      100% Agree, the Staple P90 has such an interesting history. It's really just Gibson's copy of an old DeArmond pickup that Les Paul himself preferred and had been using. Someday I'll install a proper Staple P90 on one of my Les Paul guitars.

      @@musicmann1967 This episode has inspired me to switch pickups in a LP Custom I own. I've a P94T humbucker sized P90 I just purchased and will install in the bridge position, for the neck pickup I'm going to order a Seymour Duncan Phat Staple, I have high expectations for this pickup combination.
      I find that every type of guitar pickup brings it's own specialized character to the table, that said the P90 pickup is far and away my most favorite.

David and Mike, thank you for allowing me into your fantastic world of guitar and amp heaven with this privileged back stage pass! I learned a lot this morning....so much so, it is brain overload!

    My first semi-religious experience with a guitar was in 1990, when my father took me to a guitar store for the first time, thrilled that I'd finally taken up his instrument. I was 21 years old, and playing in my first band, as a keyboardist picking up guitar. I happened upon a Paul Reed Smith Artist model, which as I recall sold at that time for about $1500 USD, and I, beginning guitarist that I was, felt like the guitar could play itself. It just felt so *comfortable* , and to this day, I've never played a guitar that felt that *easy* to me. My father (who was a physician) offered to buy it for me, but I just couldn't let him spend so much money on me when I was a rank beginner. Instead, I ended up borrowing (eventually permanently borrowing) his 1980-ish Matsumoku-made Epiphone Emperor F, and he bought me an Ampeg VH-140C 2x12 stereo chorus combo amplifier for $650. I was scared of tube amps back then, having heard horror stories of their fragility.
    When I think of what a 1990 Paul Reed Smith Artist Model would be worth today, I kick myself. My father could have easily afforded it, and it would have given him pride to buy it for me. Although the Ampeg is no longer my main amp, I still have it, and the following year, I purchased myself a new 1990 Rickenbacker 330 for $940 (minus $140 trade-in for the Bundy clarinet my mother gave me because my younger sister no longer played it) which is still my main guitar. My father passed away in 2002, and I ended up selling the Emperor F in 2012 for $650. Over the next few years, the market for Matsumoku Epiphones skyrocketed, much to my dismay. I've seen them listed for $2500 USD.
