Few guitar players in the world have amassed a collection of vintage instruments as diverse and eclectic as blues ambassador Joe Bonamassa. A true custodian of vintage gear and American music, the guitarist extraordinaire invited CME’s Andrew Yonke, Daniel Escauriza, and Nathaniel Murphy on a full tour of his personal collection housed in his California home, affectionately dubbed “Nerdville.”
Watch the full CME tour of Nerdville to see just how extensive Bonamassa’s incredible collection of vintage gear really is! Plus, look for our latest ad in the next issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine to see Joe Bonamassa after he’s been “Buried In Gear!"
Huge thanks to @JoeBonamassaTV for showing us around his collection. We can’t wait for our next visit to Nerdville!
