  • ...and my inner 12 year old self is yelling at the top of his lungs throughout.
    This guitar came out about 3 years ago now and it's been amazing seeing it go to stores and to see it in the hands of so many talented people. Having GC pick it up for all their US stores and in turn my hometown stores being a big highlight. I spent countless hours in this store as a kid playing guitars and other instruments. So this is all very surreal. Thanks for supporting my music and my channel.

    This is why I love working at a music store. You get to jam out with people that are basically brethren to you (especially kids). At one point last year there was a little boy who stuck out. He was around 12. Every single day after school he drove his bike down to the store and just looked around. My boss thought he was suspicious and was bothered by his presence. I on the other hand let him roam. He was so pulled in by the Ibanez sr505 in the back at the bass section. I Told him he could play anything he wanted. He just said “I don’t really play”. I asked him his name and he said Christian. But I just call him Chris. I could tell he wasn’t very fond of money. One night I walked up to greet him. I asked “ya like that bass”. He said it would be his dream to have one. I asked him what music he liked. He said all he had were old metallica, korn, and slipknot cd’s. I told him to keep them make sure they stay in hood condition. I was just trying to do the average music store employee small talk. And I saw a grin hit his face for probably the first time. I was clocking out at the back to go home (just me him and 2 other workers in the store). I heard the amp fire up and heard the bass going. I knew it was him. He was very good for someone who had played one other time. I couldn’t help but shed a tear after I closed up shop that night. And last Christmas me and my buddy (another worker) saved our money and bought him that Ibanez. We showed up to his house Christmas Day and he knew who it was for. He just broke down in tears of happiness. Every now and then he’ll come down to the store and play. Just the other day he was rocking some Gojira. He was talking about joining/starting a band and I told him to go for it. Christian. You’ll know who you are. If you’re watching this video and see this comment I want you to know how much of an inspiration you are to the whole store and everyone that works there

And I personally thought it would be the world to have your signature 6 string, so I begged and begged for the guitar all year, and I finally got it for Christmas 2018 and I’ve had it for about 4 months now and it’s my favorite guitar. I’ve even learned rain on your signature! Having this guitar and how nice it plays, even it being your signature guitar is such an honor! Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to see your channel still in action in the future.

    I already considered this dude to be the best Music UA-camr out there, and this video reinforces me feelings about it, seems pretty genuine in a lot o stuff here. I imagine it would be pretty cool to be buying strings and all of the sudden getting into a little jam with the guy.

Also, it was really nice and sweet of you to leave a handwritten note inside your guitar. That stealing your guitar scene at the end was hilariously brilliant too.

    Man did I relate to Rob saying he sat in the guitar store for hours just touching the guitars, never buying anything. Also, it was really nice seeing all the young guitar player kids that were so excited to meet Rob, imagine walking randomly into a guitar store and someone you're a huge fan of is just in there goofing off, super cool.

    I love how humble you are with your fans Rob. That goes a long ways with people. I met 3 followers of my channel out fishing the same day and it was one of the most humbling experiences I've ever had. I was so grateful for their views and I really hope they realized that. To know that I've brightened someone's day just by a simple video that I didn't expect anyone to watch is priceless.
