Billy Gibbons would be the Ultimate Collection. Please do everything you can to finally solve the Moderne mystery.

I'm really glad one of Gibson's people respects other brands because Gibson and Fender are the cradle and just the beginning of something most beautiful in the music world for us musicians

Amazing collection. James Honeyman-Scott’s Zematis guitar is very cool. He was such a great guitarist.

[bentolleson]

It is so cool that this guy knows he is extremely lucky to own all these amazing guitars. I'm glad these guitars are owned by someone that truly loves them 😁

Wow, what an awesome collection of guitars and equipment, thanks for sharing

[LPCustom]

Nice to see John still has the Gretsch “Elliot Easton” he bought from me a few years back!

[MrBladle]

I could spend a week geeking out in each of these rooms, what a beautiful collection! I'm really loving this series!

[gfunkk]

Hey Gibson, I think you need to make some of those Black P-90 LP's. That is one slick guitar.

[shaunvet]

Pat Smear from Germs and Foo Fighters has quite the collection if you've seen live clips. Always changing guitars.

[allstopblue]

So good. I just love hearing Mark Agnesi discuss guitars. His knowledge and passion of all makes and models is so fun to listen to for me. He really living a dream life and you can tell he enjoys this stuff so much.

Shanks is such a nice guy! Guitars everywhere, awesome collection

[vintagevinylvets]

With John’s track record in the industry, that’s how he can afford this collection-well earned.🎧🙏🏻 #respect

I like how this series doesn’t edit out the Fenders in the scenes. Recognises that most Fender lovers also love Gibson and vice versa.

[FenderLesPaul]

One of the things I like about this episode is that most of that gear seems to be being used from time to time, getting some love and being appreciated. No issue with other collectors storing their guitars, but it's a shame not playing some of those! Nice video!
