I dont know why, but I just like looking at YT videos like this, where people show their guitar collections😊 And not selling the Tele Custom is the right thing!
It's absolutely amazing how much stuff we aquire just living life day after day, and even more amazing the feelings and memories we have tied up in those things. Your face lit up when talking about jamming live and rehearsals, made me think of how much fun I had playing live.. thanks see you next Friday cheers
I always enjoy hearing you talk about and share the stories about each guitar. It is obvious that each had a meaning when you bought them. And, each has a story when you decide to keep or sell them.
Thank god you did not sell the Telecaster Custom! I was part of the bunch telling you not to sell although I am all for selling unplayed guitars. This one would have been a big regret. Glad it stays with you! And it sounded killer
I've cycled through a lot of guitars. The more my collection grew, the more anxious and unhappy I was. I'm not a pro musician by any stretch so I decided to cull my guitars from 15 down to 5. I am now at peace. I have 5 guitars that play well and have sentimental value to me (even if their $ value isn't that high).
Aloha from Snowden N Buckingham. Nice Vidz Mate Ya'll tell me how folks like Chris Knight and Slaid Cleaves are 60 years old,and have played One Gibson acoustic 4 a lifetyme . Slaid's Gibson was his Dad's ! Keep on pickin' Cowkidz
Holy smokes Colin with respect I didn’t know your collection was so large. I love Stinky, absolutely beautiful and definitely a keeper. Great video as always mate and I can’t see many SG’s leaving the building 😂🤘💜
Hello.. happy Friday..I now to have a dilemma I sold my new Stratocaster and went all in on my first ever Les Paul standard 60s Unburst... pickgaurd on or off ..??..LOL...I chose to have it OFF ..AAA top looks great now.. Cheers Colin !!!
Another great episode…I really love the P90 guitars…could you do an episode on your band? I‘d be really curious what kind of music you made and what you think about playing live and the music industry today…
Deju vu. Home from work and ready to watch. I've enjoyed this small series a good bit. However, whenever i watch, i always start thinking about that eastman les Paul. I think that is my favorite.
You have sold so many so quickly because people know you are passionate, honest, trustworthy and a stand up guy! I wouldn’t hesitate to buy off you if the right one came up 🎸😊, and I had the spare spondooly, 😢 which isn’t this week sorry to say mate.
Colin I’d love to see you review a D’Angelico Brighton Deluxe or Premier if you get back to reviewing guitars again! Also one of those cool new color SGs like the teal one or tv yellow!
I had to put my tele up for sale on reverb just because it’s sitting around since 2017. I just don’t play it and already have another just like it. It still feels wrong . I think you just have to think about what will replace it . Funny because I’ve been tempted to play it now. Funny how your mind works.
I tried selling some guitars and was talking to a guy about an epiphone es 335 pro. He kept asking questions about the guitar by the end I couldn’t sell it. I told him it’s to hard to let go of these guitars.
I'm back into playing after a 25+ year gap similar to yourself. I picked up a second hand 2017 Squier Bullet Mustang, made in Indonesia a couple of years ago to get me started again. I've lavished some cash on a Gretsch Electromatic since, but I agree with you that the Mustang is a great little guitar. If it helps your 'research', mine has the belly cut and the elbow cut. Thanks for the channel, I'm never likely to ascend to your skill level, but it's good to be playing again. Cheers.
I know you said "It's my thing", about the P90-clad SG/Junior guitars, but how many of them will you play? Are these the guitars which will gather dust because you can't find the time to play them, despite enjoying playing them when you DO find the time? And yet. And yet, they all mean something to you, and it's difficult to allow them to go. Great video, as usual, Col, looking forward to the next one.
mate would love to see you do something/teardown on Hagstrom. I recently got an Ultra Max Satin, and wow it beats the pants off my American LP. The fit and finish is flawless, neck, and sound are amazing. I've been skeptical of Chinese made instruments, which evidentially is completely short sighted. Now I'm eyeing one of their semi-hollows, which look amazing.
I've got the bog standard Bullet, and would be glad to answer any questions. I paid $125 delivered, and another $25 to have a friend set it up for me in November, 2023.
Hey what the hell is goin on? I had that 62 Les Paul in my cart! HAHAHAHA!! Them old ones are keepers. Real mahogany not tree farm mahogany. Good job thinning out the herd though I think I would've pulled all my hair out by now if I was you. I still think about that 54 p90 goldtop you had to get rid of that was an awsome sounding Gibson.
The first guitar I bought when I was 16 was a used Les Paul Jr. double cutaway with a Gibson case for $175. It looked like that Eastman you have. That Eastman sounds way better than mine did.
I watched it. I liked it so much I bought one from. Gibson with p-90's and Biggs! When it arrived I went over and over it looking for anything I could bitch about? Not one flaw on it! It sings like an Angel's My friend! Absolutely the most powerful Les Paul I have ever played!!! But as you know it did cost an arm and 2 legs!! I will be making payments a long time!! I should have went the Eppy route. Would have saved me a lot of money. But Gibson did me right. All my thanks! To the team at Gibson! It is worth every penny. Weighs A good ton!
Are you the Angus young lost twin? 😂 cool collection of SG btw, P90 junky in there, certainly is difficult when you regret selling guitars specially my original 1978 tele custom 😢…why not keep em all 😅 specially epiphones come on my 59 inspired by gibson epi is way better than my standard 60s gibson…cannot go over that… cost 3 times more…love bigsbys on les pauls with vibramate, the epiphone bridge rock better than the gibson and keep the tune better after heavy bigsby action
I gotta get off my lazy backside and list some. I just don’t play over half of what I own. Thanks for the heads up on the used market. Good to know information Cole, Rock-Out
I'm so glad your not selling the fender telecaster custom,I bought the reissue 2020 fender AO in antique blonde and its a wonderful guitar as you say a keeper,anyway your other half bought you yours,you would never forgive yourself, love your videos can't wait for next week's, cheers Colin.
Always tough to let the older guitars go. Looking at the positive side of it you tried them and got evidence of how they sound. Some things must go for the new stuff to arrive.
Hey Colin. See you got Strummer up there on Reverb. I have that guitar myself and if anybody is on the fence…. Get it! It’s a great Tele. I personally changed the pickguard but other than that it’s one of my favourite Telecasters. Man I’d love to get that SG from you bro. We shall see how long it sits there. I’m going back to the oil fields next week. That’s when I start spending stupid money on gear. We may have to talk!
Forgive me Colin I have Culled haha, 4 sold and guess what? ...... I hit the G.A.S. New Gibson Dave Mustaine signature Flying V EXP landed on my doorstep last Weekend. I'm a very naughty boy lol🤣😂🤣😆
Good sir you have got to be the guitar whisperer! After each episode it always feels like each guitar got to say it’s peace through you. And no matter the guitar, you always come up with the perfect music that suites each one. This is the best channel on RU-vid by far. It gives me great joy each week to learn about these wonders of music. I am more a hobbyist at this point than a player but hope to change that soon. At 48 I’m a bit of a late bloomer in learning guitar but gonna give Fender play a try and see if that helps get me over the hump. Anyway cheers to you and thank you for sharing your wisdom and great personality and love of guitars!
Great channel ! Like a good mate talking through guitars loved lost or otherwise! Could you do a list of what you’ve actually listed and have gone ? That reissue ( faded ) SG is nice and was chuffed when you played a bit of Willie The Pimp on one of the “ for sale “ videos . Not an SG fan cause of the neck scale length . Good luck with the sales and look forward to seeing what you swoop for next . 👍
Nice leather geez At some point in the next few years I’d love a 60s epiphone most likely Wilshire but whatever I’d get my hands on to be honest I think they’re cool as fuck
I always give a buck or two to panhandlers or a wonderful street musician. Only to find myself a couple bucks short for my dinner. Then the regret sets in. On occasion, letting go of a wonderful guitar is slightly akin to losing a limb. Keep on keeping on - essentially it means more new stuff for us to oggle ! "Personality Crisis" ...nice
Your problem is my problem. When I think that I want to sell one of my guitars and play it, well then I tell myself that I love playing it so much that I can't bring myself to sell it.
i've been considering doing the same, selling off much of the herd then getting a few vintage if possible? I been looking at old gibson juniors, fenner strat and teles, usual fare, like to find a decent charvel pre pro for sure, a san dimas preferably, graphics OK . . .
well brother i didnt cheat this time...watched the whole film before looking on reverb lol! i have this wild looking single humbucker guitar that i got back from a good mate early last year...sadly he passed away this past wednsday... the guitar is staying with me for good now.... my chibson les paul rokked up today yayyyy! this one is getting those vanson 59 chromie humbuckers set up like "greeny" might have looked like as a new guitar....this one is a tad different in colour...ice tea burst looking....sweeet!!!
The one video of yours where I thought this is a man really into it was the mick Robson bowie one watch every Friday the best guitar channel on you tube
As others have said, these videos showcasing your collection are great! On the lowest-watched video of the Bigsby-to-Epi Goldtop, I must have completely missed that one! That explains at least 1 lost view lol!!! Will dig it up next!
I seem to remember that at one point you were trying to get to a format of shorter videos, but you didn't manage it. Which I like very much. I also like that you don't edit out the pauses between sentences to compress the overall time, because that's very tiring to listen to. I'm enjoying your video again with a beer after work, and there are not many things more relaxiing than this after a hectic week of work 🙂
Is there a manufacturer or specific model you haven’t owned or possess? Seems like you hoard mostly all of them with only a couple notable names missing Love this channel 🎸
I'll say it again, I have the Epiphone SG with p90s and it sounds like a beast. It's too light in weight for me, but that wonderful snarling tone just wins it a place in my collection
Colin !!!!!!!!! you may think you have a problem. The parcel force man said “ it’s like Deja vu “ it’s ten in and four out” yes I had ten guitars in six weeks. Do I need em. No, do I want em ……. Absolutely. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!💯 percent.
I won't buy on Reverb since they installed their "safe shipping" program where you have to sign for anything over $100 if the dealer uses Reverb labels. Did you list them on eBay as well?
I wish there were more people like him in my life . Like give me a neighbor or drinking buddy. I don’t drink actually but I’d start if we were gonna talk guitar and jam all night.
