    As someone that absolutely adores basket case guitars, I’m so jealous of all these finds!
  • @dezwujie
    “The best I can do,” proceeds to breathe more life into a zombie plank of wood than actual living trees have in them. Great playing, great find. I’ll be watching the next chapter in this guitar’s story for sure. Loving the new album, it’s been my road soundtrack since you released it. Keep doing what you’re doing man, it’s making the world a better place.
  • @kyleowens7945
    Almost teared up when you started playing. Thinking about that guitar finally getting a chance to shine again and show some life. It's been waiting for along time to be played like that and you did a wonderful job!
  • @philbivins7133
    I honestly believe this old axe was just waiting for a guy like you, Matthew,, to bring her back to life. She would be very greatful, I feel. “Play on Man”!
  • Omg, I actually started laughing when you started playing that thing. Looks like a total wreck, horribly neglected, and nearly destroyed..... but sounds like a dream!
  • @robbaker7763
    That sounded magical. Only you can make a busted barely hanging together guitar sound like magic. Can’t wait to see the restoration.
  • I love these old guitar find and rebuild series you do. Thanks for tracking down another one for some great content for us. Can't wait for the next video on this one.
  • Bro. Your album is absolute fire. I have been rocking it everywhere. Can't wait for that Vinyl to drop. Get on a tour, man. Take my money for that live show 🔥🔥🔥

    "If I don't make YouTube videos, then I go back to a 9 to5 job. So, let's plug it in." Belly laugh!😅
  • @jefflindsey8918
    Brother, that blues riff you just played on that LP Junior was amazing. I loved that heart broke and lonesome sound you played for us. I'm ready to see more videos on the restoration of this guitar.
  • @jarojasn
    Another amazing find. Keep making music and keep making YouTube videos. It’s a great way for us old guys to live our dreams through you. Peace
  • @Sammywhat
    Truly a testimony to Gibson's greatness. Great find indeed!!
  • @kfox153
    Wow.....considering what all that guitar has been through, it sounds fantastic!!! I can't wait to hear it again when you've been able to put some time into restoring it!
  • @michaelr.4878
    This guitar couldn't be in better hands. This dude is as genuine and passionate about guitars as they come.
  • @m.f.3347
    it actually sounds fantastic!! I think you should try to preserve the look, if you could somehow keep the remaining paint from flaking off that'd be incredible
  • Love these restoration videos. Looking forward to future developments with this one.
  • @muchomusiclibre
    looking forward to seeing the restoration process of that guitar Matthew, I love seeing these old guitars come back to life!
  • @-tdjramsey-5407
    This may be your best video yet friend. To take an instrument like that and play something so organic and raw that really was incredible. thanks for your work and keep on keepin on.
  • That's a great way to check out an old guitar that has a structurally compromised neck, low open tuning & some slide. I like the fact that you can see just hints of the original finish. This should be an interesting and rewarding challenge, Man, and I'm surely looking forward to seeing and hearing the results! Peace right back at ya. Nice one Matthew. 🎶⭐👍
