Epic Vintage Guitars At ATB – That Pedal Show

This is the audio from our video here: https://youtu.be/GpJJkSBP-YQ   They say “never start with an apology”, so we won’t. Not everyone loves vintage guitars – in fact many people think it’s all a load of pish. Dan and I are not such people and so we took this opportunity to visit ATB Guitars in Cheltenham, UK and fill our boots with an afternoon of complete and utter kids-in-a-sweetshop indulgence.  There is no real point to this video, other than to remind ourselves that it’s only this very moment that ever matters; simply to do and to experience. MASSIVE thanks to Mike and David at ATB for making us so welcome and letting us have the run of the store! https://www.atbguitars.com/ Instagram @atbguitars Questions arising…Q: Are vintage guitars really ‘better’? A: No. Modern guitars aren’t better either. Q: You couldn’t tell in a blind test though, could you?A: Maybe, but if your brain is trying to tell, you’re not doing anything relating to actual music. Q: That’s every guitar gear video ever, isn’t it?A: Touché. Probably! The bit after the video in the venue or studio is Q: Did Mick buy that Strat?A: Not today. But one day when the day is right I will. Q: Why didn’t you play the //insert any guitar we didn’t play here//?A: We chose the ones that interested us the most. We’ll answer everything else we can in Monday’s VCQ. Enjoy the episode!
