    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!

    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.

    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'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).

    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 UA-cam 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!

    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

    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.

  • @lloydfranks1357

    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!

    Jeez, it gets tougher with every episode. And it looks as though those Eastmans throw a wrench in the works, making it tougher by sounding so good with those Lollars in 'em.

    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!

    Yup number 3, I'm with you on your journey. Which many of your fans are too. I believe WE all feel your sensitivity on this subject, as it's NOT an easy topic for us lovers of the instrument. You're doing better than I, as I've already pulled down many I posted on eBay either because of low ball offers or that second thought of not being able to replace them. I'm through my drink & nibbles for now, I'll be on to part 4 soon. Cheers from USA!

    @LGuitarB 11 місяців тому

    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 🙂

    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.

  • @johngibson911
    @johngibson911 11 місяців тому

    Another great insight Colin - thanks for baring your soul for us all to see. I especially appreciate the final thoughts on the process and it’s something we can all relate to. It takes a huge effort for me to even consider letting any of my own collection go so I very rarely part with any of them and just accumulate more. I have to say my wife is very understanding and is doing exactly the same thing with her extensive collection of designer shoes and handbags, so that helps. Can’t wait to see the new arrivals.

  • @Darth.Shredder
    @Darth.Shredder 11 місяців тому

    Another great installment! You keep leaving us wanting more!! Loving those SG's!!!!! IMO, there is nothing better than an old, well played SG with honest playwear other than maybe an old Tele and you've got 'em both and then some! That being said I absolutely hate phony relic jobs on new guitars. Honest playwear doesn't remove a third or half a finish. Character and authenticity is earned over decades and countless hours of playing. Bravo!

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.

    I have sold a few guitars through reverb, occasionally having a cull, mainly so I can buy more guitars, but the problem I have is if I dont sell it relatively quickly I go back to it start playing it again and then realise why I bought it and take it off sale! I think I have done that more times than sold guitars!

    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 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.
