“Whatever I’ve done, whatever I’ve made, whatever I’ve turned into has pretty much been built on this thing”: Chris Stapleton shows Josh Brolin the trashed '50s Gibson he bought for just $380 – and that became his most treasured possession

Chris Stapleton is one of the most prolific and successful songwriters of the last decade. He moved to Nashville in 1996, initially to study Biomedical Engineering, before Music City eventually got its claws in him, and as Stapleton tells it, a bargain ’50s Gibson has been his constant companion throughout.

Recently, Billboard recruited none other than Josh Brolin (presumably he needed the gig) to go and interview the country star – and filmed a tour of Stapleton’s impressive gear warehouse, in the process.
