The chap just left of centre at the start.It's a 1941 Selmer................

Or, he brought a guitar that was made to be played and sounded awesome?

I was going to say "Was it Twinfan?" :P
I can see the video but can't hear the sound (I'm in work). Are you in that clip as well?

Haha,I put my guitar away when the pro's came out, from left to right we have Paulus Schäfer, amazing Dutch gypsy player, then Fintin Gilligan, Irelands best then Ian Date, chap with the selmer..

Sounds good. I love seeing guitarists who don't lock up their more expensive guitars. They're meant to be played!

Good for him. I've a pal that takes a bunch of 50's Gibsons to jam nights. He was less easy-going when his son took one of his '59 Standards to a school battle of the bands, mind.

... 40 grand .... Makes Twinfan's latest acquisition(s) seem like a real bargain :D

He wouldn't have paid anywhere close to that mind..some ner-do-well in the 80/90's start buying up all of them then drove up the price..

thats different, if i have kids they can learn on something cheap then get a job and save the money to buy something pricey like i did as a teenager. And yes that is grumpy, but if Rick Wakeman is allowed to be then so am I

I'm calling BS. There's no way he'd let his kid take it to school.

He didn't, that why he wasn't so easy going :roll:

Whoops - misread that! Must drink more coffee in a morning before posting :lol:
He needs to get a large safe!

His son is ages with me, so it was a fair while ago. He did give him one of his Juniors when he retired. A few others he sold. Pretty solid accidental retirement plan, buying lots of old Gibsons in the 70's.
I didn't know them till I was in my late teens so I didn't get to see that hilarity. I can only imagine sitting in the school hall watching your son come out with his band and thinking 'hang on, that's not his Epiphone...'
