Huge props for showing guitar history. The Fenders and Ricks both! The Gibsons were amazing! A Les Paul, Strat and Tele are just different tools - like screwdriver, hammer and wrench. All do a respective job.
Love that you showed Fender guitars as well! That is great and it is what any guitar fan want to see! Two diff companies but both made the rock history! Well done Mark!
Yep cus the fenders were about 1000x cooler than the reverse flying v’s and the firebirds. Lp’s and 335’s are where it’s at. The Gibson acoustics are world class too I love Gibson too ! Good vid
I don’t see Gibson and Fender as competitors. They produce guitars that are so completely different that not many players (that I’ve spoken too) can get on equally with either brand. They both have contributed so much to music, they’re on the same level of importance.
They do that in every single video. Yet there's always at least one numpty in the comments that seems surprised. Today there are many. So people don't watch the videos, and don't check the comments before typing? Geniuses.
@@gibsonguitar what really , i would love to see these private collections of famous guitar players. i was drooling all over my laptop watching this episode nd u say there is more to come, awsome. god bless mark, god bless gibson.
John Sormani yep, even worse to play while sitting than the regular V. At least with the V you can hold it classical style on top of your left thigh while putting your right thigh against the center of the body directly behind the bridge, preventing it from sliding off. It feels weird even after you get used to it, but at least you can do it without the guitar sliding off your leg. I can’t imagine a comfortable way of playing the reverse V while sitting.
@@loganblair8402 Many of us could afford one or two. My mate has so many fucking cars, they sit around rotting. Why? Same with guitars. They need to be played, like their maker intended.
Daniel Cortez a lot of us underestimate how much harsher guitars where in the 50's. Even though alot of these are a joy to play, a lot of them suck ass too
Great stuff - really class to show respect for non-Gibsons too. Good too see you back in the saddle, Mark! Special thanks to Dave for opening up his sanctum and sharing those treasures, damn. 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
Dave is such a cool guy. He true guitar guy who deserves the success he has. Not to mention the shoes he needed to fill replacing Gary Richrath. A great player and guy.
Dave is a hugely underrated guitarist. And he’s do turn the earth. The sad thing about Dave is REO fans have never accepted him as Gary Richrath’s replacement but let’s give Dave the credit he deserves he’s a top guy, awesome guitarist and a very fine collector of beautiful instruments!!
Gary is a BEAST on guitar! Dave is simply ok. You even said that REO fans never accepted Dave. There is a reason. All you have to do is listen with your ears!
When Rick opened the door I swear I heard Angels singing. LOL 😂 What a wonderful collection, I am still smiling. Congratulations, you have done a wonderful job of acquiring one of the most beautiful privately owned collections I have seen outside of Clapton and Gilmore. I wish RUclips had a Thumbs Up LOVE Button, I would press it a thousand times. 👍👏🎸🙏🙌😎✌️
Superb! This is just awesome, really. Watched it twice in a row. Pure GAS here. Thanks for doing this and respect for showing the fenders. Hope to see more of these. Cheers
Dave Amato seems like a cool, and humble guy. Best video on RUclips with two really cool guitar guys with a ton of cool guitar. Please do more of this Mark!!
Mark, what a great job on focusing on Gibson but also showing other brands that have a place in history. It takes guts to do what you did, and it makes the video more authentic. Excellent job from Gibson! Keep it going strong! I am loving what the "new" Gibson is doing.
This video was an absolute treat to us guitar nerds. An absolute treat. As a life long REO fan who has seen them multiple times over the years it was really fun to see the passion is still in Dave, his collection, and kick ass to see Mark go full guitar nerd again just like in the norms days. I know it was a Gibson video too but it would have been unjust to not show the others in his collection. Good shit boys. Keep this kind of stuff rolling! Also, I highly recommend you go to an REO show. Even if you don't like their records their shows are a guaranteed blast. Trust me.
I can't stand hoarders, who da fuck is this guy anyway? How is it some clown playing in a shit band ("heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, you've been messing around" come on!!) can amass that much and Levon Helm a truely great musician winds up in poverty? REO Speedwagon plays casinos to collage nerds that missed seeing them in '83 and this guy has Joe Perry money? Doesn't add up!!
I have a guitar shop and have to admit the Gibson Standard 50s are really looking and feeling like they should so much so I'm wanting a Tobacco burst to add to my collection. Also my estimation of Mark has gone up after watching this. I'm glad Gibson are sorting things out again.
What an amazing collection!! Now I see what I will be like when I have more money. I can not thank Dave enough for sharing his collection with us and thank you Gibson TV for putting this out.
Class act! Saw REO last year in Thousand Oaks at the fundraiser for the Woolsey fire and Borderline shooting families. It was a special night and so cool to see Dave play his white, single pickup, LP with a Floyd Rose.
@@samedgar2283 Done a bit of research mate and if you don't include the mandolin it's 15 guitars....I would list them but although it's Saturday I'm off to work. The Gibson J200 he used on Zep One was borrowed from 'Big' Jim Sullivan, he gave it back and bought a Martin. You stay safe fella, I'm thinking you're from the States and with the plank you've got in charge anything could happen.....take care.👍😀
I remember seeing the Lonnie Mack Flying V at Dave’s Guitar Shop, so cool seeing it again! This episode is giving me a flashback to when Mark was doing Norm’s Guitar of the Day!
Mark this is you -bringing out old beautiful guitars 🎸 we know you are with Gibson and that it was very nice for you to show us your love of Guitars n to see that love in your face when the case opened up. And Dave Thanks for sharing your beloved stash to all of us. I could imagine all of us holding a towel under the chin as the show progressed WoW 🤩 it was a hard on after another Thank you Thank you 🙏 and will see you live this year in Vegas I hope . Come this way again 😍🎸❤️🖖👍🏻
Good on you Gibson for showing Fenders & Ricky! It shows more than just a company flogging it's own brand! You actually delivered on "showing" Daves collection! 10/10!
Boston Mike I think his collection is more interesting than his music. He is a great guitarist don’t get me wrong. I just don’t think he really brings anything unique to the genre.
never saw anything like this. the koa top korina back is probably the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. and showing those amazing Fenders coming from Gibson, shows the passion about guitars. WELL DONE
@@TheRichie213 ..it really is. Just make a museum out of this place. Some things just transcend playing these things live. Better to save them so that future generations can see how we rocked..and rolled.
This is my favorite series ever….. just getting the opportunity to look into their personal collections…. And Mark is awesome with his energy and enthusiasm. Like a kid in a candy shop. Keep ‘em coming please……
Holy Smokes,what a Beautiful Collection,like u said !totally Blown Away..dude got Great Taste.thanks for Sharing guys.preciate the knowledge and history. U really don't know how much...Thanks Again, Rock on Brothers...lio Galveston
An impressive collection for certain! I can’t believe these aren’t even on display. This video inspired me to start selling off the instruments I don’t play. We take nothing with us when we go.
WOW!!! Just holy WOWED. That is an amazing collection. Apparently just the tip of the iceberg. Thank you Dave Amato and thanks mark. It’s good to see ya and hear your voice on a video again. It’s been awhile.
My dad got me a Les Paul Jr single cutaway in Sunburst when I was 13 in 1963. It was used, but a beauty. Stupid me stripped off the finish at some point, and varnished it in natural. It looked cool, and then, even more stupidly, I sold it to some guy for $150 back in the late 60's. I saw my guitar" in this video. Ha Ha, what a trip!
Respect for showing the Fenders
Lol
Huge props for showing guitar history. The Fenders and Ricks both! The Gibsons were amazing!
A Les Paul, Strat and Tele are just different tools - like screwdriver, hammer and wrench. All do a respective job.
Absolutely.
6 in line means Fender's fine 🤣
Indeed !
His grandkids are gonna have fun listing all of these on Reverb.

FINALLY!! Gibson doing an awesome, non-scripted video with cool people and cool gear.. Keep these style videos coming!!!
You can tell it’s not scripted because of the fenders
Please do more of these this was amazing!
Kudos to Gibson for including the Fenders and Ricks. We love them all ✌🏻❤️
It's great seeing you having so much fun. No bullshit just love for guitars.
Mark has a look of intensity that’s so consistent it hurts
*Joe Bonamassa has entered the chat*
that’d be a a whole documentary
Congratulations, you’re a prophet.
Oh you just know he is Daves' newest bestest friend😁
I am stunned not only by the collection but the knowledge and passion of Mark and Dave
Major respect for showing the Fenders. Gibson making all the right moves lately.
Always liked ya Mark but showing the competition just made you one of the coolest reps out there. Bravo. Guitar nerd always wins out. Fan for life.
I found this far more enjoyable than I expected to. Mark knows his guitars. Respect
Glad you enjoyed! More episodes to come!
I love Dave’s excitement and passion about the instrument, and collecting them. Thanks for opening up your collection to us.
The reverse Flying V I just call the Vying Flee.
This is gold!
Jonhattan thanks, I’m glad somebody else gets it.
I have one of those too. Dave is right. It's really a very vibrant body . Just a nightmare to play sitting down
John Sormani yep, even worse to play while sitting than the regular V. At least with the V you can hold it classical style on top of your left thigh while putting your right thigh against the center of the body directly behind the bridge, preventing it from sliding off. It feels weird even after you get used to it, but at least you can do it without the guitar sliding off your leg. I can’t imagine a comfortable way of playing the reverse V while sitting.
Nothing wrong with showing some vintage Fenders on a Gibson channel. Leo and Les worked together on their idea's before going their own separate ways.
There's a lot of collections like this out there. Let's see some more of them! Good work Gibson and Mark!
Say what you want about Mark but his pure love and joy of guitars is contagious.
What a collection!!! Dave seems like a really cool guy, despite all the success and guitars....very down to earth. Inspiring!
I really like Dave's enthusiasm. It's contagious.
This is a cool collection. But is sad seeing lots of cool guitars not being played.
I mean, who else could afford to buy them anyway
@@loganblair8402 Many of us could afford one or two. My mate has so many fucking cars, they sit around rotting. Why? Same with guitars. They need to be played, like their maker intended.
@@loganblair8402 they were made for being played, independently of their value.
@@AnonymousBosch3158 was just making a joke at how ridiculously expensive gibson guitars are

Just some cocaine fueled enthusiasm.

A guitar museum...in a warehouse in the Valley. So awesome. The pure love Dave and Mark have for guitars is great to see.
Ah man Mark! This is what i like to see. Absolutely awesome! Really cool of you to show of the Fenders and Rickenbakers as well
