But his collection of nearly 200 guitars is almost as memorable as the songs he plays on them. Jim shows Lisa several of his prized guitars including a near mint 1958 Les Paul, a 1968 Les Paul gold top, a 1968 Everly Brothers acoustic guitar, and a 1958 Gibson Flying V, of which only 93 were ever made. His friend of over 50 years and fellow Ides of March band mate, Bob Bergland, joins Jim. We’ve brought Dan Orkin, content director for Reverb, one of the premiere marketplaces for vintage music gear to appraise Jim’s collection. And Dan has brought one of his own personal, most treasured guitars, a 1964 Stratocaster, in hopes to make a trade with Jim for one of his prized guitars."
