Hey guys, thank you so much for having me on here. That’s an amazing guitar for sure. Always a pleasure working with the Fine people at Carter Vintage Guitars.

I've attended one of his gigs in the states..
Literally blew my mind!

If only J.S.Bach could have listened, someone playing compositions freestyle with overtones, bent notes etc. that weren't invented back then. This, a tone universe it is. Thank so much, Guthrie, for the inspiration

i remember my Dad telling me 50 yrs ago. you have to watch out for the guy selling you a guitar cause they will make you think if you had it you could play like that. sure do like to watch though.

What a great sounding "Black Guard", not within my current budgetary limits but man oh man what a sweet Tele! GT is stellar as always too!

I was all of three years old when this axe was created. And very nice country ripping there, Mr. Guthrie!

Best guitarist on the planet. End of discussion!

Guthrie, in your video with Rick and Uncle Larry you said you don't have a collection, well you need to start one with that guitar right there!
