Joe Bonamassa recently allowed Gibson and Guitar Center into his Nashville condo to check out the cool gear that he keeps there.
Joe calls his Nashville condo “Nerdville East.” In contrast to the original Nerdville, which he calls his home in LA and houses his museum-grade pieces, Nerdville East houses more of the tools that he uses since he often writes and records in Nashville. That being said, he has some cool and rare pieces in Nerdville East that he shows off in these videos.
There is some overlap between the guitars he shows, but both videos are worth watching, IMHO, if you’re into cool guitars and music memorabilia. It was surprising to hear which guitar he considers the best in his collection.
The Gibson video, which is part of their The Collection series hosted by Mark Agnesi, is shown below:
The Guitar Center video was shot as part of a charity fundraiser for Joe’s Fueling Musicians program, which strives to provide money and gas to musicians struggling during COVID-19. You can watch the Guitar Center video below:
I would like to purchase a Nerdville Hat that I saw Jow wearing. Where can I purchase one?
Glenn, looks like you can purchase one directly on his website: https://shop.jbonamassa.com/collections/clothing-hats/products/nerdville-vintage-rare-hat
Can I visit Nerdville East?
Lisa, Nerdville East is also one of his residences, so I don’t think he allows visits from fans.
Is there a way to meet and shake the most talented hand in all of music?
