Uncle Larry is joined by two dear friends who both happen to be heavy hitters in the business of buying and selling old guitars.
Eric Ernest, owner and proprietor of Abalone Vintage Guitars

and George Gruhn, owner and proprietor of Gruhn Guitars in Nashville TN

Eric Ernest is without question the world’s leading authority on one of the rarest models of Gibson guitars…the hollowbody doublenecks that were produced between 1958-1963
He has had a lifelong obsession with these impossibly rare instruments and has personally owned a large percentage of all the ones that were ever built…which weren’t many…(some accounts say roughly 100)
I personally believe that these hand carved spruce top hollowbody wonders occupy the most criminally underrated and least talked about corner of the entire vintage guitar culture…in fact there is no doubt in my mind about that.
George wanted to make one addendum to something he said in this video…at one point he commented that these guitars have traditional dovetail neck joints but he clearly knows they actually employ the mortise and tenon style joint
Hope you enjoy friends…I have been wanting to make this video for a long time
Special thank you’s to Eric and George for donating a Tuesday afternoon to this cause.
