Are Guitars Worth Investing In? | Walt Grace PT III

- There are all kinds of asset classes we've spoken about on this channel. From watches, to cars, clothing, etc. But, what about guitars? Are they worth investing into, and if so what are some things to look out for that would make it a good investment?
We're back at the incredible Walt Grace in Miami to talk about all things guitars, and how your love for music can actually be something worth investing in!
Points at a Telecaster, calls it a Stratocaster, I chuckle. Points at his wallet, looks at my wallet, he chuckles.
THIS
I noticed that as well, but Kevin can play. I think the tele he bought did not have an actual Bigsby on it either
He pointed at a custom shop first then pointed at a "new" guitar. Grow up.
Like I said. Grow up.
Ladies, relax. No need for name calling.
I like the reverence Kevin has for guitars. Even though he could buy the whole store he still gazes at the wall as most of us do and appreciates the work and history behind them.
And not just buy the store, buy Fender, as he said in the video he was an investor at some point.
It's too bad he doesn't know what God damn thing about them LOL
Mr. Wonderful, I would like to offer you $1000 for a 25% stake of your Tele.
@@gingerbeer914 Dude, get a sense of humor he was joking…!
Mr. Ronquillo, Spence or Pacman??
I’d offer you $1000 for 25% of your playing ability. I’d offer more but I’m a Fil-Am playing country music in Texas, that’s all I can afford lol.
Ill give you the thousand for 25 percent but i want 80 dollars for every tele you sell for 2 years until i get back 5,000. Then my 25 percent drops to 10 percent equity. I also want 2.5 percent of advisory shares. And guitar pics.
I would add on a 5 cent royalty every time he plays it.
I started playing guitar in 1964. What a wonderful, exciting time for a 15 year old. I play almost every day. I took up pedal steel guitar for a new sound. Mr. Wonderful is fun to watch. I took a guitar to Vietnam when I went to war at 19. It kept me sane in the insanity. I’m in my 70s now and still playing daily. Best thing I ever did in my life. I’ve played in front of Tommy Emmanuel because I knew he is a true gentleman and a great player. Love it and I teach for those that want to learn.
How did you learn to play?
@@george3876hands
I think the better question here is How the F a guitar saved you in F Vietnam. I used to date a girl, her father is a History teacher, I would go to her house just to speak with him, learn more about the war. She eventually broke up with me.
@@felipez7113 The year was 1968. I was stationed with the Mobile Riverine Force. My battle station was a trainer on a 40 mm gun mount every day.
I had music with me so I took time to learn songs and get my mind off the war. Without that I would have been far more messed up when I got back to the World. Thanks for asking.
Dude buys $13,000 pens and he calls a $5k guitar expensive. LOL
He’a rich sooo
I mean....it is expensive, for a guitar 😂
@@alexledford4747 it’s also expensive for a pen
@@alexledford4747 Expensive for a regular production model.
Because hes rich AND smart
I don't see a guitar as an investment. I see it as a "happiness" expense. It's cool Kevin is geeky over guitars.
@ Exodus fivesixfivesix - I agree! Maybe a decade (or so) ago. but not now. Definitely a happiness expense for sure.
Haha, he's "geeky", was an investor in Fender - yet calls a bunch of Telecasters "Strats" :)
Nope , it’s an investment,,,, ask my Wife.🤔
Kevin O'Leary
is NOT geeky about guitars. Are you blind, he did a little research, learned a few chords, invested in the company that owns the guitar and cars, and now has you nitwits' drooling over a sale commercial. Can you get any more naive' !
Yeah very very few guitars appreciate in value. And the catch is, you won’t know which ones are collectible for 20 years. A guitar that’s $500 today may just be the one that, for some reason, is the one people want in 20 years. Or, it may be worth $100. No one knows. Guitars you couldn’t give away in the 80’s are worth 10x today.
15:04 I love the fact that he stated this because there’s always been a stigma against lower priced entree level guitars but they are REALLY underrated because the quality of these guitars has gone up in the past few years.
Squire doesn’t = low budget crappy piece of junk knock off version of fender anymore. And epiphone doesn’t = crappy version of gibson anymore.
So new players EMBRACE YOUR squires and epiphones :) your guitar does not suck! Be proud of your axe and rock out 🤘🔥🎸
$250 for a NEW Squire guitar + another $300ish in upgrades is WAY better than paying $1200 for a Mexican Fender.
My Squier plays outstanding. It’s light but the neck feels like my Mexi. Sounds good too
A lot of crazy expensive guitars were just regular guitars at the time they were bought. As with most collectible items, it has to do with rarity. How many were made and how many are still around?
Quite a few professional guitarists/bands use squire
Yes, I agree. There are LOTS of great playing/sounding guitars for under $1k!
successful people don't become that way overnight .most people you see as a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
He is obviously the best, I invested $3,000 and i made profit of $28,000 just in 15 days.
His success story is everywhere
Am not here to converse but to testify just for what I'm sure of, he's trustworthy and has been the best option ever since.
Sometimes I wonder if he uses magic finger to trade.
My first experience gave me the assurance that has made me to invest without fear of loosing.
I own eight electric guitars and they are more emotional purchases for me, I can't let them go for just money. I've also gave away several to kids over the years who have showed a desire to play which was also emotional decisions.
This has happened to me, some things I can't sell but I'll give them away to young people without much issue.
@smug bruh 😂😂😂
@smug LMAO that’s truth tho
@@danieljimenez1989 same for me
I gave my friend a fender lead3 many years ago,when he learned he had cancer. It was good for both h of us
Investing your time in playing a guitar is worth it!
Playing music is never a waste of time, even for a speculator. Some things enrich one's life, even if there is no direct monetary reward.
It has helped me with my mind, and I really enjoy it. It pays dividends.
@@americanpotpie7437 go figure....actually play for enjoyment? Who knew?
Not really. Played for 10 years and never enjoyed it one bit. I threw it in the garbage bin and never felt happier.
@@kvin9210 It took you 10 years to figure out that you don't like to play guitar? I heard of being slow to realize, but that's beyond slow.
"You have to play every single one." That's the first thing you're right about. When I was shopping for my Ramirez concert class 1a, I had to drive from Calgary to Bozeman Montana (because Gibson was the north American dealer). They had 30. It took me three very long days, at least 12 hours each.
This is the guy that buys a $5000 Les Paul, a $3500 Marshall amp, has 20 effect pedals, takes 45 minutes to tune up, and then plays "Sweet Home Alabama" for 3 bars, then gets lost and just stands there awkwardly for the rest of the song.
Kevin talks big game on guitars and seems to take every opportunity to play them on camera, and good on him for enjoying the instrument. That being said, it is pretty annoying hearing him talk about guitars like he is an expert when he is clearly a beginner. I've seen him play guitars in so many clips and they are him playing a few chords with no dynamics and then trying to have some flare, like at 7:08 he hits the octave of the slightly out of tune Dmaj and it is pretty cringe. He said it himself, it's not worth buying a $7000 guitar if you're still a beginner.
@@bringrobieback lmfao I laughed at the same D major shape octave move. Real slick shit
Just what i was thinking. Plus after 45 min its not even close to in tune.
Is that like a personal attack or something ?
Exactly
You don’t need to spend giant amounts on a single guitar to view it as an investment. I have bought a guitar for $300 that I ended up selling for $500 and then sold that guitar later for $700... on and on until I had a $4000 Les Paul. Just with smart trades and knowing when I was getting a good deal I turned a $300 investment into a $4000 guitar over a few years.
Yup that’s how I got some of my best guitars!
I was thinking the same thing. I also haven't seen many custom shop guitars increase in value as a general rule. Only on rare occasion. I tend to only buy guitars I like and keep them forever after upgrades.
That's it. Well said.
I agree. Any guitar is an investment. If you intend to play it and gig with it. You are investing new strings and hardware from time to time. And as a players guitar. You generally do not care what kind of guitar you have. As long as it is well setup. Sounds the way you want. And holds tune. And those bumps and bruises your guitar takes are just mojo.
@@qua7771 I remember playing a black beauty. And it was disappointing. It's just a black les paul with gold hardware. And it would fret out in the upper register past the 12th fret.
I agree most entry level Guitars built today are all great guitars!! As a new guitar player my advice would be find a guitar that feels and sounds good to You, regardless of what the name on the headstock is…
As a business man, I love Kevin's questions. I too ask these in any shop I am in lol I feel like the guitar techs seemed nervous in this video and just need to relax. Kevin won't bite !
I love these videos, not just because I love hear, but because listening to Mr Wonderful makes me realize I know a lot more about guitars than I thought.
As someone who loves investing and guitars this is possibly the best crossover of genres I've ever seen
I think they can bee a good investment.
Warren Buffett once said "if you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die".
That was deep! hardcore fan of Warren Buffett. I got to start investing in mutual funds because of him and I haven't regretted it.
I wish this was taught in college, and I am just trying to research, learn how to trade stocks and options.
Financial education should be taught in every level of education but because of the misplaced priorities we have in the system, the ignorant man is suffering it.
@@allencampbell6580 Exactly! it's never too late. that's why I'm leaning how to trade option and equity.
I'm a beginner who is seeking for advice, I want to start trading 2021.
I watch so many expert videos about vintage guitars it’s nice to see someone come at it from a newbie point of view. I spend so much time on reverb that i could have answered all the questions myself. But if I were looking at vintage collectible watches I would have no clue
Love this so much. He plays. He doesn't just leave it on a stand and tell people its expensive to inflate his ego. Kevin is the real deal.
I love the videos from Norman's rare guitars where he literally has thousands of "rare" guitars..
Yes, he's the man. He's also played many of them back in the day.
Norm is one of the reasons those very guitars are rare, he's hoarding all of them! And Joe Bonamassa of course
Yeah Norman's blows this place away.. I mean God bananas at large in Petaluma California blows this place away..
I have subscribed to many financial channels and this is the first one, where I see a guitar video🤗 great!
Glad I came across this. As a collector, I would add (and I think it was mentioned below somewhere) that you don’t need a custom shop guitar to be an investment piece. I have a couple CS Gibsons that I bought used which are still not worth what they went for new several years ago. There are also many Mexican Fenders or USA line Gibsons that have appreciated far quicker and greater than an average CS model. The trick is guessing right and getting something like a road worn Cobain Jaguar or a Tweedy SG when they’re a dime a dozen. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn’t - but you still get a pretty cool guitar to play along the way no matter what.
In the end though, it’s time and scarcity. Like Belloq said in Raiders of the Lost Ark, “look at this watch. A couple dollars from a street vender; but if you bury it in the sand for a thousand years it becomes priceless”... something like that.
Kevin - I admire you playing in front of the camera. You know there'll be some haters in the comments nit-picking your skill level... but anyone who's humble enough to play in front of tens of thousands of people without letting the haters deter them from the joy of playing a guitar (at any skill level) has my whole-hearted endorsement and encouragement. Cheers!
Yeah it's got nothing to do with his skill level it's got to do with the fact that he hyped that guy as the greatest guitar tech in the world but his guitar when he went to play it was really poorly intonated and set up.. 😂🤷
Humble enough? Rather, he's arrogant enough.
kevin is what's wrong with the industry. a rich fool who can't play, but buys them up and drives the prices up, takes the ability to own a vintage instrument out of the hands of actual players.
@@louiscyfer6944man you guys sound like communists lol
Theres always someone richer and poorer. Im sure we could find some poor 3rd world musicians that would say the same thing about you 😂
@@ColoradoDreamin you missed the point entirely. he and guys like him take those guitars out of circulation, and they don't play.
Idk much about cars or guitars but I’m loving this! Keep em coming Mr Wonderful
Neither does O'Leary.
Fantastic video Mr. Wonderful! A earth without art is just "eh". Keep feeding the soul with music, creativity and passion :)
i have a 2008 gibson 50th anniversary explorer, even if it were to appreciate a lot in value, I still probably would not sell it... i still remember walking into the guitar store and seeing it on the wall and was amazed at how unique it was compared to the rest on display. so many good memories with it
it was a pleasure to learn such a happy and unusual store is out there thriving. long live do it yourself music.
I love hearing you talk guitar, Mr. Wonderful. I loved your endorsememt re: microdosing. You rock.
I feel like vintage guitars keep up with inflation. And some outperform inflation. I guess those would be investments. A friend of mine inherited a few guitars when her Dad passed. She sold them all and did pretty well.
I bought a 1996 Heritage H-150P (Poplar) back in 2012 for $680. Played it very little but I really did enjoy it. Mostly taught myself Blue Sky by Dickey Betts. Then I put the guitar away and waited. I sold it last year for $1,250
I'm so glad i found this guy's youtube channel. Very fascinating to watch!🍻💯
It has been for me, played guitar most my life at this point and has been essential for me and my health and has helped me get by too when times have been tough, which has been my whole life but hopefully AMC goes to the moon soon so that should soon change.
This video had me hooked. More more more like this!
"This one is 20 000$"
Kevin: "....So why is it in glass exactly?"
Behind glass. Not "in glass."
@@rickaitkins6539 stfu, in is short for incased, yea its not a full circle of glass buts its in a case n a softer issue
Nice video. Love to see more about guitar collections and what are good deals atm. Thanks again! 👏🏻
Love the concept. I think I'm going to copy that concept on the west coast. 😎 Guitars n' Cars! Vintage guitars and vintage cars under one roof. Kevin maybe become an investor? 😁
Started with cheap guitars but after playing 15 years saved up for quality Fender custom series and also Martin - means a lot to me being able to have my own quality care and take care of it

Brother your super awesome old school. Love ya on the shark tank few times you had me in tears . You’re just old school tradition and I dig that buddy
I'm loving this series.
Great video Kevin! It shows a whole different side of you, and I really enjoyed it!
I've played for nearly 20 years and I can say its all preference. People would be surprised what a TRUE luthier can do to a "standard" issue electric model w good hardware. Now an acoustic is a work of art
My girlfriend and I stumbled on this place while vacationing in Miami! Awesome shop and atmosphere!
That's interesting, never thought of buying guitars as investments. There are probably so many different products that can be taken in as appreciating assets that you never think about.
Oh my god, Never been this early to a Mr. Wonderful video but i'm sure glad i did.
What a surprise to see Kevin there. Love that store. Never miss an opportunity to stop by whenever I'm in the area. They make great coffe too, expensive but at least its great.
Got a whole new level of respect for you Mr. O’Leary. One Hass to appreciate nice guitars.

As a guitar collector (about 30 guitar right now) and a shark tank fan this was quite the crossover. Although buying a new modern guitar of any kind is probably not a good investment. I do have a couple vintage (pre-cbs) guitars that may be investment quality if anything is, but at best guitars are probably equivalent to a really conservative bond index as far as ROI.
But they’re fun and tangible, so that’s why I buy.
What kind of pre-CBS stuff have you got?
@@whitebuffalo4904
I have
- an early 1965 Jazzmaster in lake placid blue
- 1964 candy apple red jaguar
- 1950 broadcaster body with a 1955 telecaster neck, but that’s by far my rarest best one
I played 8 different Gibson J-45s before purchasing one that felt like it naturally fit and also sounded uniquely best to my ears! Important to get both the feeling and sound right when purchasing because it's a life partner!
BTW: Playing my Gibson ES-335 while I write these comments! LOL
Best Video Ever On This Channel .. More Videos on Guitars Plz ..
I showed this to my wife. See honey...I need to spend a lot of money on a new custom shop guitar because it's an investment. I didn't realize how short our couch was until I had to stretch out on it.
The return on the investment must be more then the cost of the divorce to be profitable
very witty, I almost missed the joke
Respect to you for trying...just file things away for when she wants a $1000 purse or $750 shoes....
Kevin’s an Epiphone snob, beating on Epi’s...today’s Epiphones are pretty amazing!
Especially when at the counter of the guitar tech is a fucking crate amp...
Can't you tell? He's a Fender guy.
The man doesn't exactly have a natural musical talent either so 🤷 wtf dies he know? .....Greed seems to be his lane.
I beat on Epiphones as well, I play the hell out of them.
I have tried out so many Epiphones, the pickups are usually good and the semi-hollows are a good deal( Sheraton, Riviera, Casino) but besides that I am sometimes almost shocked at the solid bodies( Les Paul, SG ,etc.) fret work and inability to stay in tune. The fretboards are very dry and above the 12th fret your hitting dead notes and notes which have strange overtures. Many people buy a Epi and go to work getting the frets crowned and polished, replacing the pickups, and other cheap/very easy to break hardware. Now I think you could Pleck “it for 200-300$. Other modifiers can sometimes get to within 90% of a US guitar Les Paul. But you could also just save up another $300-400$ and get a Les Paul US and not worry about all the hardware replacements when trying to customize a Epi-LP. Ah, whatever.
wow! Cool to see this Mr.W!! Thanks for sharing!
I just bought a MiA Fender Strat Pro2 and I love it. I haven't had a chance to set it up yet but I want to give it a good set up and then I'm buying a nice Tube amp for it. Vintages are great! But I know my price range, lol.
nice shop:) relaxed setting
I would like to work as your guitar content intern…

Great video. When I got my first Martin, I wanted a little above entry so I went with the Road Series and am glad I did. The sound is night and day above the entry level. No frills but hey, at my age I can't see well anyway.

Really enjoyable and cool to see Kevin step out of the persona of shark tank etc. what an awesome side you’ve shown us!
A lot of entry level Epiphones and Squiers are great. I've had a Epiphone Les Studio for 5 years and it still plays great
I still play my 2001 Squier Strat now and again. It looks beat up but still plays good 23 years later.
You know when a guitar shop has Herman Miller benches in the playing room that it's a high-end store.
I wish I had collected more of them in the 80s and sold them in 2005, would have made a bunch of money.
Always a dream of mine was to play one song on the guitar. Took lessons for a while 20 years ago then kids come along and well that was that. Just absolutely love the guitar 🎸 maybe one day again I can chase that dream.
I’ve been to this place. It’s really amazing. And I never knew Kevin was into guitars. I think guitars are an investment for sure. Like most things, you get out what you put in. Musicians will understand, but maybe hobbyists won’t. Very cool content here.
No amount of money can make you a viable musician
Ain't that the truth !
It seems to be working that way for Dave Lowry of the Dead Daises. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lowy)

Supertramp was first supported by a millionaire patron.
At the end of the day it’s a hobby for most people. People spend money on hobbies regardless of skill.
"And I can buy a brand new Strat..." as he points to a tele...
Brutal
Yeah, I noticed that also. Weird he got that wrong since he has a Tele and knows was a Fender investor
I thought it was funny that the sales guy didn't correct him, and also mentioned "strat" as they're pointing at teles.
could have been the camera angle
So cool! Beautiful instruments!!! I didn’t know Kevin plays the guitar! 😎👍🏽🎸🎸🎸
I like how he emphasized the Hendrix hammer ons while playing. Much respect
Fantastic video!

With all this man does, I'm blown away that he even plays guitar, regardless of skill level.
Jones could easily fix that misaligned trem but, it would only be aesthetic, wouldn't change the functionality.
I wouldn't risk it. Then again I wouldn't have as sloppy installing it.
I'm not allowed to use the word "wouldn't" for like three weeks after this novel I just wrote.
If I were you, I wouldn't either!
I would not buy a 67 with an off set trem lol especially it being a bigsby.
Pretty interesting, learning the business behind cool industries. Awesome show!!!
Hi Kevin, in 1968 a Fender Strat cost $265.00. I have the original brochure with all the Fender gear and the salesman wrote the price $265.00. I was a kid earning $5 bucks mowing yards which equates to 53 yards and that doesn't include the amp. That was a lot back then.
I look at a custom shop guitar or an expensive guitar like a pianist who purchases a Steinway or Baldwin. When you get really good you want to play a guitar that is really good. In 1975 I purchased a Martin D-35, I worked the whole summer for that guitar and I still own it today. I played 10 of them that day and I agree they all feel different. Nice video thanks.
That Crate combo amp on the counter is where the $$ is at!
I thought this,
Why not have a small vintage amp to plug in to?
Yes, it was disturbing seeing that Crate! Like, WHAT??!???/WTF!?!??? Absolutely bafflingly wrong and bizarre!!!!
He should have a JTM45 Bluesbreaker sitting there or, a AC30 or, a Dr. Z or, a Deluxe, a Vibrolux or, any of the nicer Fender amps, Soldano, Two Rock, Matchless!
Guitars can be investment if you’re talking vintage fenders gibsons and martins
Purely from an investment perspective, it doesn't help to be paying full inflated retail at a premium boutique store.
EVH or any well made, rare axe like say a Yamaha Pacifica 1412. 50 made ever. $1200 in '91 now $5000.
I would add Ibanez to those.
Take a look at the early Made in Japan Squiers, the Antigua Squier Jazzmaster and the Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster. Even inexpensive, entry-level guitars can be a good investment.
Hopefully, we'll get some new guitar players - or at least some interest in the instrument from this video! Really cool Kevin.
I don't know whether my old (some call them "vintage") guitars will end up being a good investment or not, but I can say that they are lot more fun to own than a lump of gold or silver.
Amazing content Kevin and sounding good! You got me hooked on watches too!
I picked up a ‘78 Gibson Les Paul Custom, damn near mint, all original, about 6 years ago for $2,200. Seeing what those are going for these days, I’m thinking it was a good investment.
Yeah that's an investment. Not a great investment. But it will appreciate. But if you like it, enjoy it, or get inspired by it... then THAT'S the investment.
If Slash gets inspired and comes up with something iconic on an Epiphone, then that guitar will appreciate.
Kevin ... for me , he is of the most interesting and intelligent person in the world ..... and plays decent guitar ! What an amazing , talented guy !
Interesting video Kevin! Funny seeing guitars jump up in your feed, investing in guitars is serious business. But the main point to it, is combining your hobby and passion with something that will hold (or even increase) in value. Our tip; don't invest in guitars if you don't love guitars ;)
If you are here in 2021 and you don't have any investment or alternate source of income, then you are not safe, invest now! It's better late than never.
We should be careful on money usage if you are not spending to earn back, then stop spending.
Apparently my view on the situation is to venture into business and investments.
True! Even some rich men made it through investing their money in something really profitable and they made it.
I do real estate, stock market, Forex trade and cryptocurrencies.
There might be many investments out there, but if profit must be considered I will advise you go into bitcoin trading because it has higher profit than most investments.
If you want to make an investment in Fender buy a made in Japan Fender they will be at the $1000 and up they apparently very quickly and there generally regarded as as good if not better made than the U.S.A made Fender's
I'll believe it. Japan prides themselves on precision and quality. Never bought anything from Japan that wasn't top notch.
Japan has many guitar companies that aren't allowed to be sold in the US. They have several Les Paul type guitar companies that are very high quality builds, stuff like stainless steel frets, high quality electronics, and finishes. The kicker is they are sold for alot less than say a Gibson would be with the same components.
*they're
*Fenders (no apostrophe unless possessive form)
@@jimmyb4728 Oh i didn't realise I'm in England so they are available here i have one i payed £750 for it 5 years ago now they are fetching £1250
With all respect the playability of a guitar won’t be much of a factor collector wise. Ive had a few 50s Les Pauls that were like walking uphill to play compared to a custom shop. But their value and collectibility is much more. I have friends who swear by 70s Tokai or Greco copies but they’re probably a third of the value of a 70s Gibson (which are pretty hit and miss).
I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that Mr Wonderful knows a lot more about guitars than he lets on! A 67 tele doesn’t just fall out of the sky! 😂 That’s my birth year bucket list guitar! And I’ve never seen one for less than $17000! So congratulations on finding that unicorn!
Wow Kevin... Didn't know you shred on the old guitar strings... Rock on man! I bet you have a beautiful collection of axes
This is great! I have been playing guitar for 20 years and have noticed I do not have a single guitar that has lost value as I tend to research and purchase good guitars.

What are your guitars?
That’s very similar to my situation. I started playing in the 80s, but quit and sold all the gear I had in the late 90s. Nothing I had was expensive when I bought it, but I sold everything for more than I paid for it.
I started playing again about 4 years later, and I still have everything I’ve bought since then (except for a guitar and amp that got stolen). Even the lower end gear I bought when I first started back is worth significantly more now than I paid for it. I do have one guitar that I bought new in 2017 that is currently worth less than I paid for it, but it is still in production and the price increased a good bit this year on the new ones so that will eventually push the used prices up to what I originally paid for mine.
@@charlesbolton8471 honestly, I can’t see what guitar is worth more now then in the 90’s? Not even custom shop fetch a big price.

It does not have to “fetch a big price” to increase in value. You only need to be able to sell it for than you paid for it, and every guitar (and amp) that I own except for than one from 2017 falls into that category.
I really enjoyed that , thank you : )

Great video, thanks for sharing, I’ve got a drum kit that will sound killer with those Guitars
That 000-42 sounded so sweet! I love the dreadnaught sound for booming bluegrass, but the smaller body 000s might be the best general purpose acoustic around.
I love when Kevin talks about guitars. Very cool
It all depends on if a person wants to pay for it, I've had vintage Gibson's and every time I advertised, nobody wanted them for near what they were worth. I actually think vintage amps are more viable , just my experience
Thats the thing, they are worth what people will pay. Some Gibsons are desirable, others arent. Rare and vintage doesnt always equal valuable.
Kevin O’Learys suits are always just a tad nicer and he’s still the coolest because of this 🤙🏼🎸 need that Kevin collab it’d go to #1 in the charts
Being a left handed player, it sure makes me glad i learnt to play with the high E off the top. Shopping in Walt Grace for a regular Southpaw would be hard. They had 1 left handed Gibson SG jnr.
Loving this episode.
I feel like they pretty much missed the ball on what makes guitars appreciate and retain value. Claiming that a Martin will retain its value because it’s expensive now and handmade doesn’t really hold water when they still pump the same model out year after year. Still a cool video but not very good for insight into investing in guitars.
Yeah I thought so too. Totally forgot to mention the history of an instrument and how it can effect its value..IE...who previously owned it, etc... as well as rarity.
It's cool the fact that Kavin can play gt really good!
the owner of Walt grace is a solid man, pleasure to talk to. he is about the musicianship not the money
