    Easily my favorite episode of Hoarders.
  • @colingregory
    To say that vintage tweed amp availability has dried up while standing in his own manmade tweed ocean truly is a special kind of Nerd.

    Came here from Rick Beato's video... Kudo's to Joe for allowing the bass to be reunited with Rick's family!
  • @admarhermans1
    Please, can we do this at least every six months? This man’s just great for my serotonin levels. The gear is just an extra, to provide stuff for the stories. 😄
  • While he may be a professional musician and astute businessman, I like the guitar collector side of Joe Bonamassa the most. It's easy to appreciate his enthusiasm and passion for this stuff. It's relatable for those of us who are vintage guitar collectors - but he's just at the highest levels of the game. Great watch here, and no shortage of good stories.

    Reverb : Does it sound good? Joe : No Now that's Nerdville.. Amazing collection.. maybe the best..
  • @bensmiling
    JB is a custodian of guitar history. He’s the right man for the job. Bravo.

    Joe back in the 90’s you went to the ny guitar show .. your dad approached us and asked if you could try a 60’s strat we had, at the time you were a teenager the guitar was maybe $850 .. we agreed and were floored by your playing. I’m glad you have not changed since then. Saw you in Cali when you bought a guitar from my pal Peter at the Mesa show but too many folks around to try to chat. Keep doing it!

    I do wish Joe would write a book or do a video series about his collection. He is such a great storyteller and has a great sense of humor. I'm always sad when I know the story has ended. So, I start the video over again 😂. Outstanding musician, thoughtful caretaker of history and an all-round great guy!
  • He’s gonna be full blown nuts by the time he’s 60 and I’m here for every minute of it. If you read this Joe I love ya.
  • Stop-tail cabinet pulls are a chefs kiss perfect bachelor pad touch. Place screams “stay away ladies”. Couldn’t love it more.
  • “The Pinwheel on that Vox sign ain’t working today” Heh . Too funny . You have to love this guy. Joe your my idol
  • The Bolin burst story is actually insane! I’d never heard Joe elaborate to this degree on how he got it. It’s incredibly eerie that after David held a séance the subsequent fire at Joes afterward and his tragic passing shortly thereafter came about..
  • @DOMSGUITARS6140
    Why he is my favorite artist,guitar player. He is the whole pkg!!! Love his music! My wife and I go see him perform as often as we can and his live shows r EXPLOSIVE!! Love watching these interviews showcasing his collection!! He is funny,a great story teller and he gets better and better!! His knowledge of guitars and music history is UNPARALLELED!! God Bless u Joe!!!
  • Joe bought a rare lap steel from me in 2019. Nice and humble dude. Tough negotiator though, and he did not overpay. Anyway, I’d love to see his full collection of oddball steels. I’m pretty sure his lap steel collection the largest in the world.
  • @Paul-D
    There's so many ways a man can judge a collection like this, But for me im just blown away and pleased for him having achieved it.
  • @chunkadaryl
    Joe I could sit and watch your videos forever. They are the best. You should write a book about your adventures, and I bet it would be over a thousand pages long.
