- I recently had the honor of visiting what can only be called, "Dakota Dave Hull’s Museum for the Working Guitar". His collection runs the gamut from resonators, piccolo guitars, Martin’s, Gibson’s, Gibson copies, and quite possibly the largest 6 string banjo collection in the state of Minnesota! In short, his guitar collection will blow your mind!

One of the most intriguing, eclectic collections I've seen. Fantastic!
Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for watching!!
Your channel is absolutely amazing. I just subscribed. I am 69 and a wounded combat veteran with 12 years service in Norway’s Jaegerkommandoen (Norway’s version of America’s Navy Seal). I have played guitar since the age of 5 or so. My father was a traveling Jazz guitarist who played club dates all over the U.S., with Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, Thelonius Monk and many more. I have played Jazz of course but focused more on Blues, Brazilian, Country , Gospel Blues, Modern Fingerstyle and more. Your episodes are so well done. Keep on making this great content. You deserve a million subs.
Fantastic, thanks so much for sharing. Reminders that this little channel can reach people from so far is just so encouraging. I hope you continue to enjoy what I'm up to over here, and keep saying hey!
What a collection and what a beautiful interview. Thanks for posting.
Thanks john! Appreciate you saying so and thanks for watching!
we need some more 5 string videos i just got my 1880 buckbee flush frett and a 1900 or 1920s unknown fretted instrument.
Dude I gotta Buckbee waiting to hit the bench. Been looking for an excuse to make a vid about it!
It makes me happy to know that there are guitar nerds like me out there!
😂! We got you!
Your channel has much more interesting content than 99% of the other guitar channels on youtube. Keep going!
Dannnng, thanks for the encouragement dude! It's been a really fun! Grateful for you checking these out and checking in too!
28:15 This is my favorite one, the 6 String Banjo (aka Banjitar) as played famously by the Great Johnny St Cyr who played with Louis Armstrong. This instrument goes way back to the 1920s and 30s before we had amplification where Guitarists needed to compete with the Horns. The 6 String Banjo could easily be heard over the Horns because the Drum Head acted like a super loud amplifier.
Same!
This is so good kyle,thanks man 🙏
Absolutely! It was an honor to make!
Simply amazing,
Thanks for this Kyle.
Think nothing of it! Thanks for watching!
I remember Charlie Hoffman’s shop very well. I was the wild guy bringing in custom electric guitar projects, custom finishes, probably all to the chagrin of Charlie! Ha!
Ha! Nice, yeah that place is amazing.
Love to meet that man, great collection….!
He’s one in a mill that’s for sure.
A lifetime of guitar treasures. Thanks for the wonderful tour!
A lifetime indeed! Glad ya enjoyed it!
Wow what a lesson thru time , thanks for sharing your collection it’s wonderful to know it’s out there and it’s made.🎸🎸🎸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☮️😍
Absolutely, I’m grateful he shared it with us too!
such a beautiful video thanks for make it
Thanks!! It was an honor to do.
Eb, you're really good at doing these videos.I enjoy them.Looks like you've become quite the luthier
Thanks dude! Yeah I’ve been keeping busy that’s for sure!
I think I might have done a guitar deal with Dave years ago. Never met the man face to face but I'm glad I got to see him in this video. Neat guy for sure.
Nice! Glad to give you some context to your guitar deal! Such great stuff.
Amazing collection xxx
Isn't it!? Grateful he wanted to share these with all of us. Thanks for watching!
I loved that last banjo he played, it almost has an old upright piano quality sound, it definitely want to sing some ragtime
Right?! Made by a great musician in Minneapolis Minnesota! Also one of my favorites he shared with us. Saved the best for last I suppose!
Great collection and presentation. I gotta say, that little black LG-00 spoke e to me..
The biggest banjo I ever saw was a bass I built out of hundred-year-old Ludwig 26" marching band bass drum that really worked. I used it a lot for recording and it had its own unique voice in the mix. I used a regular upright bass scale length, strings and tuners. Raffelled it off at a friend`s music store back in 2016 before I moved to Europe, no idea where it ended up.
Wooow I’d love to have seen that banjo!! Sounds amazing. And yeah, that 00 is really something special.
Most enjoyable tour and discussion, thanks
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
I have two 3/4 size solid bodies that I put really light (.007) strings on and tuned up a 4th to A. They sound great and are really fun to play.
Nice! My first time seeing a piccolo was visiting Dave, but consider me sold on it. Just lovely.
Wonderful video love the guitar’s
Thanks Danny!! Yeah what a collection 😮💨.
Love the collection and commentary, I would like owning a 6 string banjo and a resophonic guitar, owned a cheap resonator 20 years ago.......half successful learning some Leo Kottke...
Still finger style and flat pick my early 90's martin D16H. Just had a partial refret to 12th fret due to wear!
Thanks Mike! Yeah I would love a 6 string banjo after visiting with Dave. There’s something about them that’s so funky.
theres alot of guitars in there collecting dust, i hope you have kids /grand kids !! but sir i am a collector also but i only have around 50 or so but all kinds of guitfiddle's and basses !!! What a beautiful collection sir !!
Very cool! I love hearing what people have out in the world. Thanks for sharing!
Incredible collection. I'm in awe. I will say that while I agree with the sentiment on new vs vintage Nationals...I prefer to fight the vintage pieces for the history. My late friend Paul Villagi taught me a few tricks to getting them playing better, including intonation.
I’m with you on the vintage! I have one vintage-inspired guitar I use for gigs but I’m all vintage otherwise!!
Absolutely great video and an intelligently creative collector!
Thanks much! Yeah lots of gold in here, thanks for watching!
Cool video, that fretless national looks really great
It’s so coool. Would love to a whole vid just on that one someday.
IDK why, but I really like that NATIONAL BARITONE STYLE 1.5 TRICONE.
i have never ever played a resonator.
That thing is sweet as heck
Dude it’s so heavy! It’s kinda the best kind of reso if you ask me.
Some things just speak to us
I curated a vintage, not replica colletion twice as big in Akron Ohio in the late 90's. It filled 7 apartments above the once Ross Music Store.
It’s not a competition.
@@WinstonTexas829Hey man,his was TWICE as big!
This man is a national treasure...
Absolutely. Thanks for watching!
Missed the opportunity to stare up close at the guitars
Dave brought quite a few guitars in his collection by the Podium to show them off, many of them jaw dropping for sound and looks. I've even worked on a few. His CD collection is monumental.
That’s great! I know Dave’s pretty particular about who works on his stuff, that’s awesome!
there is nothing as lame as a 'collector' thinking he has accomplished something other than hoarding.
He has used EVERY guitar live or in the studio, usually both. His collection is not just something to HAVE. It is a collection of musical tools that he and others have used while recording in his studio. Which is also impressive for the quality of recording he can do. I have known Dave for many years, he is not a guitar polisher.
@@GuitarSmith. true! I think this guy’s just looking to stir up trouble in the comments. Happens.
The fact that you believe that, demonstrates your lack of capacity for thought and therefore renders your opinion worthless.
good stuff
Appreciate it brad!
Nice
Thanks!
What a lovely guy :o)
There is no other!! Thanks for watching!
I recently saw a Larson Big Boy on Reverb for 100k. That would be cool to say I play the biggest guitar made. I bought a Guild 8 string baritone as a cheap stand in for a much more expensive 12 string baritone. It's a huge guitar with a huge sound. Highly recommend as a budget friendly big baritone guitar.
Daaang that’s nuts. Good tip on the guild though!
@@kostringworks I looked again a couple days ago and there's a Big Boy for 162k.
cool
I wonder if Dave has any opinions about Waterloo guitars, by Collings of Austin TX, which are high quality copies of depression era 00s by Gibson/Kalamazoo and single 0s by OS Stella from the 20s.
I'll be seeing him today, I'll see what he thinks! My guess is he probably likes them though!
WOW KYLE ! What a Museum I could spend a month in that place , only if Dave would let me play those guitars AMAZING collection... What a Cool Guy Dave is . If I ever Get to Minnesota That is my Go to place . Thank you for the Cool video visit .
Yeah man! I should have mentioned that it's a recording studio too!
@@kostringworks Yea I noticed in the beginning of the video what looked like a recording mixing room Studio window Pretty cool
0:52 As a bicentennial baby, this is making me feel so old. Proceed. 😅
😂
I got to play the very first guitar Charlie Hoffman built.
Whaaaat. What a legend that's sweet Mike.
Quite the guitar historian.....aside from his collection which is amazing itself...endless knowledge
Absolutely, he is quite the treasure and treasure finder! Thanks for watching!
Maybe I am a little slow or something - but I would have liked a little more explanation on some of these. What was it about the National single cone that was different? It sounded sort of like there were no frets, but I could see frets. He said he had tried "it" on a flat-top but that guitar didn't have enough sustain. However, he never said what "it" was.
Good question, yep it’s fretless! Or what they call, flush fret sometimes since you can see the fret markings.
Fairbanks guitars are literally triple the price of a Gibson... met those guys at NAMM back in probably 16'...
It would be nice to have the right speaker audio of this video working. You know, since it's a music channel and everything, one would expect the sound to be working 100%
I actually didn’t record the audio on this one but I’m pretty sure Dave’s mic is panned left and mines panned right. But I could see how that be weird if he’s doing most the chatting! Good note for next time, always something!
He needs a Highwayman pan resonator by Highway Key Guitars !!!
I’ll let him know!
@@kostringworks much appreciated
You can find my stuff here
Id be honored
Thank you
Q: How many guitars does one man need?
A: ONE MORE!!
He is the king of one more.
It totally did.
Ha! I know right?!
I can’t.
I know what you mean
Not an arc top in the bunch. Dave's missing the first couple decades.
Two archtops near the end! They’re amazing!
hey, look at the collection i made, of stuff other people made! this is how i keep this stuff out of the hands of players! the hell with them!
It’s titled” museum for the working guitar” for a reason bub! Dave plays every one of these and sells them once he doesn’t! Best!
@@kostringworks museum is another name for hoard. collectors are mentally ill.
Anything but. He has a musical reason for owning everything he showed us. While some of these are high value custom instruments, he pretty much doesn’t go for super vintage sought-after investor instruments.
@@Eeklex 'museum' HA! what is that a tax dodge or is he charging admission?
i don't play guitar but i sure am NOT impressed with 'collections.' i don't know why this is in my feed. people that collect things and expect it to be some defining trait irk me. big deal! my grandma used to collect old bits of string and rubber bands.
Careful viewers may have noticed that “Museum” was the word coined by the interviewer/uploader and not by Dakota Dave Hull (musician, recording artist, but not museum operator).
All collectors do is hoard the best guitars and make it hard for musicians to find good instruments.
But this guy is a working musician who does studio work. If it's all acoustic based you need a fair few to get the different tones, accommodate different tunings, plus baritone and piccolo guitars. Also quiet a few of his instruments he's had made for himself. That's not depriving anyone of being able " to find good instruments".
It's a great collection which this guy appears to be using, they're not just hanging from the wall or worse still in some bank vault.
Lovely microphone blocking every guitar.
Haha, yeah that mic is freaking amazing.
This was great.
Thanks Mark! It was such a privilege to spend some time with him. Thanks for watching and saying hey!
