Step inside the vault with us at CME and our good friend Dave Amato, lead guitarist of REO Speedwagon. In this special episode, we explore Dave’s extraordinary guitar collection, chat about vintage instruments, classic Fender amps, and more. Then we head downstairs for a candid interview, diving into Marshall amps and the signature tones that shaped his legendary career.
We’re thrilled to have over 100 pieces from Dave’s personal collection available at CME right now! After nearly 40 years of collecting, Dave puts it simply: “It’s time to thin the herd.”
Watch as Dave and David swap gear stories while Nathaniel Murphy brings these instruments to life with their incredible sounds. From touring with Cher, Don Felder, Richie Sambora, REO Speedwagon, and beyond, Dave shares endless stories from the stage and the road, featuring some of the finest musicians ever to play.
