I Finally Bought My First Vintage Guitar (I Got Lucky)

This past weekend I wandered into Maple Street Guitars and stumbled across my first real vintage guitar, a 1965 Gibson SG Jr. This guitar is a ringer and has a great story.

2:13 I am just AMAZED at how the dog just turns into a guitar.

This is only the beginning. As someone who purchased their first vintage guitar a few years back ('60 ES-330) I have since purchased 4 other vintage guitars and spent more money than I ever thought I would on an instrument... Once you open that door it raises the bar and makes it difficult to not want more.

Great video, Rhett! I had a lot of fun documenting this fantastic SG Jr. with you. I feel both fortunate and honored to have been part of this guitar's history; and, I'm grateful that it will rock on in the hands of a great player, who will respect it and love it as much as I did. May it serve you well! - Lindsay *Reposted since we did this previously from the wrong YouTube account :(

I have my late Grandpa’s 1960 Gretsch 6124 Anniversary guitar, and his Fender 1968 Super Reverb. Those are my passed down vintage instruments. They have a certain mojo.

That's a killer axe, Rhett! I'm not a "vintage or bust!" person, but great tone is great tone...and that thing knocks it out of the park!

[dchauser]

Maple Street just has an amazing vibe as a store, and Hopper's adorable. I probably spent more time playing with the pupper than anything else since as a bass player I was primarily there to support the GAS of my two guitar playing buddies.

Had the privilege of meeting Rhett that day at Maple Street but had to leave before the concert broke out! Absolutely amazing tone on that SG. Folks, if you haven’t had the opportunity to visit Maple Street you’re missing out on great people and great guitars. Looking forward to the second part, Rhett.

[frederickthompson]

Well done, Rhett. Not a lot of over-produced drama. Just solid interesting content. Like all your vids! Looking forward to the sequel.

This music reminds me of a nice day of my life. On that day I was so happy and I can't forget it. thank you so much my friend 😀🌹❤

[ericwarrington]

Dude that SG is the shit...I'm drooling right now...tone is monstrous..I own a 2020 standard and it's unbelievable

[doof]

So glad to see you at maple street. My favorite guitar store of all time and the guys there are the chillest ever!!!

[jayclement]

I love the folks at Maple Street. I’ve bought a bunch of classical and acoustic guitars there over the years, and George was great helping me every time. I remember Lindsay when he was a teenager hanging around the shop. And I had a grand time taking lessons there with Sam McPherson. Great memories. :-)

Maple street guitars has such nice people as well, one of my favorite local shops

[carlosanvito]

Congratulations Rhett! You'll love this guitar for many years and won't want to part with it. I have a 50 year-old vintage LP that I bought brand new. It's like an old friend. After all these years it has so much sentimental value that I could never let it go. Enjoy your new baby!

[markanthonyelo]

Bought my new tele from Maple Street. I live in CA, but it’s my favorite guitar store.

[benparry]

Aside from being about a million times better player than I am (and I might be exaggerating my skills) I'm always in awe of the tone and sound quality in these videos. That guitar and amp sound amazing together!

[AMPDtotheMAXX]

Much love to Maple Street, went there quite a few times when I lived in the Atlanta. Lindsey is the best!

when I was 16 I saved all my money from working in a warehouse, watched the old / buy sell weekly for guitars and one day I saw a 74' SG Custom. I convinced my dad to drive about an hour out of the city to meet the seller where I bought my first real guitar. That was 20 years ago and I still pick it up everyday. Its not completely original and has its battle scars from its past life before coming into my possession, I have plans to eventually mod it to make pick up selection a little more dynamic. My first love I will never part ways with it.

[wcspencer]

Hey great to see Maple Street Guitars get some love, it's a great store with really nice and helpful people!

[jcavender]

Congrats on the SG Rhett! I am also fortunate to have a vintage, pre-war Martin (1941 D-18) so I can't wait for the next video!
