I inherited a ‘54 from my grandfather and the neck plate is 13 digits away from the serial on the one in this video! That’s awesome!

He started playing in the 4th grade when he asked for a guitar when he saw it at a music store. We took guitar lesions together for several years. Took him to his first concert (AC/DC) when he was in the 6th grade. I knew he had a special talent from the beginning. After the concert I bought him the AC/DC Back in Black Tab book and he memorized all the songs from beginning to end (the rhythm parts) in a week. We got monthly guitar mags back then and he would memorize tabs in back of the mags in no time while I still struggled with the first page. Started his first band in 8th grade and played in all ages clubs until he was 21. We stated collecting guitars together early on and would visit all the Seattle guitar shops on the weekends. I think thats how he got so talented at improve. He would be playing behind a wall of amps in a guitar shop and a someone would see this young kid with a Sonics jersey on and be stunned with a kid playing like an old pro. He won the Guitar Center "King of the Blues" contest 3 times and went to the regional finals in LA, Chicago and San Diego. Interesting note is the the local guy from each Guitar Center where the regionals finals were held one every time. A Judge came out at the LA contest and told Aaron he was ripped off. He has has a band ever since and plays locally in the Seattle area almost every weekend. He has a day job that keeps him from being a starving artist.

​@@rvnlvr0599 he does these for ECG usually on his lunch hour when he goes in and bangs out 4 or 5 demos. Many are with just one take. He has the ability to turn off his brain and just play without over thinking. He often does not even remember all the stuff he played. I wish I had that ability. I feel like I have one year of experience times 25.

Fender amps sound swirls around the room I love that great amps but that guitar is gorgeous

SO good! Also, digging the Paul Cauthen shirt!🤘🏼

That is a rare find. Sounds perfect.

My S#0517 had knots in the body! Guitar is long gone, but I still have the neck! Look at how low the 3rd string pole pieces are on each pickup! Great for plain thirds!

What's fun for me is I was born on Oct.13,1954. Wish I aged as nicely and still sound as good as that beautiful guitar does.

Are the frets really that small and thin??? What is all this talk of 'vintage tall frets'? They look very small on this 54.

Wow

i played a 54 that had a hickory neck, just like the baseball bats. that was a cool guitar.
