Ever wondered what it’s like to hold one of the rarest guitars in the world? In this episode of The Scene, Mark Agnesi visits the legendary Rudy Pensa at Rudy’s Music in New York City and gets hands-on with an original 1958 Flying V™ — a near-mythical piece of guitar history.

From the unmistakable lightness of the Korina wood to the Brazilian rosewood fretboard, this Flying V has it all — and as Rudy says, it still sings like a dream. Watch as Rudy reflects on the thrill of the hunt for rare guitars, the heartbreak of letting go of some of his favorite guitars he’s ever had in-store, what it’s like dealing in vintage guitars, and the guitars he personally loves to collect.

Anyone who has met him will know that Rudy’s passion for guitars is part of the reason his store is so beloved. Watch as he opens up about why he still travels the world to find guitars, how he brings vintage instruments back from the brink, and why a refinished “player’s guitar” can sometimes beat a museum piece. If you’ve ever felt the rush of discovering a truly special guitar — or had trouble letting one go — this one’s for you.

The Scene is a Gibson TV original series hosted by Mark Agnesi, where we travel from city to city visiting the landmark guitar shops and music institutions that shape our culture. Rudy’s Music is more than just a store — it’s a cathedral for collectors, players, and dreamers alike. Specializing in rare and vintage pieces, high-end hollowbodies, and even building custom guitars, for over 40 years, the world’s biggest artists and discerning players have made Rudy’s a must-visit destination. Imagine a place where legends like Dave Grohl and Lenny Kravitz riff and roam, and stars like Post Malone can be spotted guitar shopping, and you’ve got Rudy’s Music.
