Sambora is a gifted American guitarist who was Jon Bon Jovi’s right-hand man for more than 30 years. In this video, he’s joined by an Australian guitarist, Orianthi Panagaris, another extremely talented musician who played with the likes of Michael Jackson and Alice Cooper’s band.

After killing it on a red 1963 Fender Custom Shop Tele, the duo switches to some very rare acoustic guitars and begin playing together.

Now with two Gibson J-35 acoustic guitars from the 1930s, Sambora and Panagaris play some mind-blowing tunes together.

Switching to a 1957 Gibson Les Paul Special TV Model, even Sambora is dumbfounded by its incredible sound. When Panagaris gets her hands on the same guitar, she goes off, all while maintaining a huge smile.

The last guitar the outstanding rockstars get to play is an extremely rare 1971 Fender Stratocaster.
