      It's as if generation X wasn't born.

      He must have a time machine to go back and get these things from the dawn of time.

    I played a 52 Les Paul with the trapeze tailpiece & it must have been a later 52 because the gold was a brighter hue but it was an outstanding guitar. My favorite is the 53 refinished in red

    Fantastic 👏 Hugely entertaining thanks to the educational aspect. I'm a complete novice and find to learn so much from these unboxing vids. If you haven't already done any, I'd love to see an "on the bench" episode where you guys go through the authentication part. Loved all guitars, they all had something special and I'm hoping to be soon in the market for a LP or SG junior player grade or a 330. Definitely need to visit and try some out to see what clicks with me.
    Thank you Mike and team and looking forward for more 👍

I,ve questioned what I saw ever since - I,d played a Gold Top Deluxe already and it looked nothing like that - but this had a much smaller headstock, unbound neck and dot markers and lyre type bridge set up, almost unrecognisable by comparison. Very shortly afterwards, I went up to London to art college and found similar in Denmark St for 2500k

    @hotblackdesiato3451 6 місяців тому +1

    The 70s refinished Goldtop gets my vote but how well does a wrap tailpiece intonate? I suspect it's the luck of the draw and you'd have to adjust your playing style to accommodate life beyond the 12th fret.
    Once Bonamassa gets wind of those two Cardinal Red ones he'll be straight over here.

    • @ATBGuitars
      @ATBGuitars  6 місяців тому +1

      Actually we do not have a refinished 70’s Goldtop. Maybe you mean the 1971 which isn’t a refin.
      They generally intonate very well as long as they are not too worn.

    Wonderful guitars but I've seen many high-profile guitar channels say that the guitar "comes from a rock star... but we can't tell you who" as if it's a matter of national security (not to single out ATB - it is not limited to them) and then offer clues as to where it came from. If the seller wishes to remain anonymous I respect that - and there's no need to mention it. If they don't care then spill it. It's like watching a reality show with superfluous, scripted drama added.
