Thank you, TK. That space was a treat to see.

Man that tree of life PRS! I love it. Great video as always brother. 😊👍

Super nice trip. I've been coming to this store since 1970 when I was young. I know everyone there now live out of state. Its worth watching to tell me what I am missing here in Florida. Brings a bunch of memories. 👍😎🙁

Always enjoy the Chuck Levin vids!

Hey, I know Chuck's, used to go there all the time ! Paul's a good guy. I always wondered where they kept all their stuff.

Cool video. I got some Les Paul Customs and some Deans from Chucks back in the 70's. Great Store and great people

I'm in love with this place. Tone King, I am jealous!!!!!!

I thought for sure you would have brought one of them home ! Thanks TK that was fun !

This should definitely be a consistent series of episodes. Traveling around find these gems and showing them to us.even though it's a tough choice, That tree of life guitar was my favorite. What make and model is it?

Pretty awesome! Chuck Levin's Web site has 374 guitars as of today. None of the ones shown here are on it that I can tell! Awesome tour. A real great story on their web site about page! Looks like a great place to buy.

Za Z they need to at least list them or put them on reverb. What are they waiting for? They should be sold and be played. Isn’t that the purpose? Someone just has to do it.

I liked how you started the show TK , This was cool . I could spend weeks down there trying pick a guitar . Man some of those BC Richs were sweet . I play a DBZ V ... pretty close . Ha . Thanks for sharing the experience pal

Another excelent video, too short unfortunately, full of history. Please do more. Greetings from Portugal.

Wow, look at those prs!, pieces of art!

WOW. A guitarists wet dream right there. You lucky S O B. Its just another work day for them but guitar players would be blown away and so happy.

Back in the 70's and 80's, I would make my rounds to Chuck Levin's as well as Veneman's Music over in Rockville. I bought a Gibson doubleneck from Chuck Levin's for $1000 back then. I remember seeing Neal Schon's guitar showcased at the store as well. Lots of great memories

Great video enjoyed looking at those special guitars!

The man. The myth. The elusive shine bird. Only in captivity of the Levin forests. We love ya bud.

Many years ago I wanted to buy that exact Ibanez RG1570 but couldn’t afford it at the time...nice to see they are still around, maybe there is still hope

I bought my first few guitars in the 80’s at Chuck Levins. Brings back memories

Gibson just called, Mr. Levin and they want their Firebird X back. You can smash it first and send us the pieces.

Super jealous. Go to chuck's on the weekend would love to tour the basement and warehouse.

Always some interesting stuff downstairs, and that's the guy to ask. Hey Paul!

What a treat this video was. I wish it was 2 hrs long to see more beautiful guitars. Imagine working there and knowing you can never afford the one you personally fell in love with...even worse if you are saving for it and some wealthier dude walks in and you have to sell it to him...ARHH! The PRS was utterly gorgeous and I am sure I would pick that colour from the custom shop catalogue even if they did a hundred colours. It was like a shallow llagoon from India or something. Never gig guitars that look like this EVER!

These people are sitting on top of a gold mine, I can understand new stuff being down there but there sitting on some older gems that I bet they would be willing to cut some deals on.

Wow! I think this is the Paul I used to work with in the 80s. Paul, if you're the one that went to Aruba, you called me and told me to come to the store NOW. I drove from the Eastern Shore over in 2 hours, and you took me down to the basement. Got out a Gibson Moderne #005. I bought that from you. And a few months later, my wife bought the matching Korina Flying V. I used to by tons from you. You stopped calling!! LOL

I would love to walk through this warehouse. I can't believe everything is in the basement and close to the floor.

Great shop never seen anything like it with so much variety.

Some cool guitars for sure!! Cheers buddy!!

Other than the cost of the strings and the inability to use obscure tunings, I didn't have an issue with the SpeedLoader setup. Bought a new fst-3 and the same strings I bought it with were still on it 3 years later when I sold it. Just cleaned them with rubbing alcohol and treated them with 3n1 oil.

This is the musical equivalent of Ft. Knox. Awesome video.

I once had the Dean at 9:50, but i replaced the pickups with the emg jh set, sounded so good!

I enjoyed this video much more than I anticipated! I could get lost down there!

Fantastic video, those last fenders beautiful

You know what would be great? If this would be an access with a remote controlled robot so you could pullout any case and look into it. I imagine one would find some more weird and rare pieces in that vault.

I'm becoming convinced guitars are attractively-painted pieces of ordinary wood fitted with unremarkable pieces of plastic and metal. But they ARE pretty.

Some guitars are made with extraordinary woods and the price reflects that. It does make some impact on tone what type of wood and where its used.

I had a B.C. Rich with the speed loader floyd. I got it around 2007 and sold it after a couple years. Really nice guitar and the floyd was great. Strings were very expensive and hard to find, thats why I sold it. Some times I wish I had kept it but it was too big of a pain.

For me, that PRS with the tree of life was the guitar I wanted the most, closely followed by that Ibanez - crazy finish on that...

Always wondered where Paul went when he disappeared downstairs. Levin's cuts the best deals. Haggle, but they will just tell the bottom line without the games. Tiny place, but amazing selection beyond that which is on display. They hand pick the top end, like the best PRS. The tops on Guitar Center PRS's are the dregs.

That store is something else, amazing !

Chuck Levin's is THE music store in the DC area. They've been around longer 'n most of us have been alive. I bought my first two electrics from them in the early 80s and they'd already been there forever.

I love going to Chuck Levins and just playing all the guitars that catch my eye.

im in love with that red bc rich beast! i kinda want one now lol

Good memories at this store! I bought all my staff in 1975! With Bruce Volat!

I've never seen a beast in that color. So beautiful and you never see Beast anymore.

Wow I know where I'd like to go on vacation.. Heck man.. AWESOME!

It looks amazing that store beautiful guitars nice place 🤔😊🙄✌👍

This store reminds of the old Chicago Music Store in downtown Tucson circa late 90s. They had a ton of unused new old stock Ibanez guitars from the Lawsuit era as well as other cool Made in Japan guitars. Had I known that in a decade those guitars would climb up in price I would have bought up all their inventory. Who knew?!

Love the Bich in 14:36 and the Strat 17:37 u don't find treasues like these here in my place

What an awesome warehouse !

I wanted that Ibanez back in the day but they were sold out before I could get one from Texas Music Emporium since GC didn't carry them.

I'll never forget the highly unique guitar I had that was stolen and sold at a pawn shop. It was a Jackson DK3 guitar from the year 2000 which is no longer available. And they don't seem to make guitars with the same pickup combo that it had any longer which was humbucker single coil humbucker. And it had a unique finish of transparent green burst with an ebony fretboard, shark tooth inlays, quilt maple top, and the Floyd Rose tremolo unit and locking nut.

The NJ speed loaders were shitty, but they did have some nicer finishes.

Does Levin's list all these guitars on their website? Is the warehouse only accessible by a select few with "clout" ? Just curious, as I don't know how you would be able to browse their entire inventory to see if they had something you may want to purchase. Anyway, enjoyed the warehouse hunt, but just wonder how the average person who doesn't live near them would know what's in stock.

I have that Johnny A. Absolutely love it!

Does that BC Rich have a floyd rose speed loader bridge and nut? If so it's pretty much worthless because you cant get the strings for them any more. I have a Floyd Rose Redmond series guitar with those strings and I cant find a mew set for it. Very frustrating.

i want a wherehouse like that in my backyard lol. boy id have fun for years.
