I kept seeing him with these beautiful guitars and I thought lets see what he can do with this piece of firewood. Of course he turned it into incredible content. 5W is def on it’s way up.

    BTW, Zac is great at many things, “but he’s no Skywalker.” :)

    I am enjoying what you do. Great enthusiasm, and your questions to your guest are "not inane". What would I like to see in future vids? Interview your favorite guitar players. It will give you an opportunity to be a fan-boy and ask all of the questions we would like to ask. Good luck with the channel (I just subscribed).

I live in Stamford but am a fair bit older than you. I can't figure where I'd have seen you or otherwise crossed paths.

    The quality of his videos is good but if you watch his video on the history of SRV’s guitars it it riddled with historical errors especially with dates, which is kind of important. It’s a shame because it undermines the credibility of the information in his videos.

    • @ChuckNicholsonTRM

      It's not just that video. The general information is usually fine, but the details have a lot of errors or unfounded speculations that can be found on spots like Wikipedia.

      @@thezakkuhnshowI only know Gibson guitars well enough to catch a lot of the errors. Every video I’ve seen that concerns archtops has errors. I also showed him sources from Gibson that showed errors in describing the origin of the mini-humbucker after he said we must be using “different source material”. That comment with the link to sources that refuted his video script was deleted.
