I miss seeing you in Saskatchewan !!

[@GuyMcguy24]

I was just remembering how I used to sing along and dance to your self titled album from 1988 with my brothers and my mom in the car, (The album would have been almost 15 years old at this point) so I listened to it just now. So nostalgic. I loved specifically why’d you lie when I was a little tyke, and when I was listening back to the track I got thinking “Man, I love strats, I had forgot how much of an influence this guy had on my appreciation for them” so I just googled your website out of curiosity, and low and behold, I happen upon a video in which you open with that riff - to talk about strats... Pardon the monologue. Just having a good moment.

Thanks Colin , us gearheads luv the back stories on your fine stable of Strats. Just saw you at Rama . The white strat sounded best to me . Go figure. Luved “Change it” by SRV . Thanks for all the talent . Cheers J

[@ronaldmorell9793]

thanks for sharing !

[@williamfurlong4874]

Seen all these videos about your guitars today ( my birthday), and it made me think...I believe I watched one of your videos a while back, in your studio, and I think I made the suggestion to show all your guitars and studio...correct me if I’m wrong, but glad to finally see the tools of the trade Colin. 👍🏻

I declare July 14th Strat day.🎸Thanks Colin. ❣️

[@powisallgood9199]

What a brilliant opening. Just so smooth. Great guitars and stories. Thanks for looking back and bringing us along. Love seeing you with SRV.

[@williamfurlong4874]

Finally get to see you with that guitar from when you were starting out...are you able to get a hold of Rod Evans at all ? I used to be able to email him, but now I lost contact with him...I love how you’re showing all your instruments and talk about each of them, as well as your studio...would love to hear more about how you started out, what is it like being in the music business and how was it like being around Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Healey ? Would love to meet you one day...I was always a fan of what you’ve done with your music. 👍🏻

[@mikecaldwell4442]

had a vintage 65 in sherwood....it had white sticking out....i was told it was a primer coat...might be original in seafoam

[@gastondeveaux3783]

Gorgeous strats ! And I'm still madly in love with your dogs. Ever consider having them do backup vocals on one episode? 😉🤪🙃

The Lady is a Cool guitar..has some history!

[@TMCMR]

Fantastic strat day thanks. can you talk about if tuning down the full step has increased your vocal range. You’re a soulful vocalist. Cheers

[@MrJrowinski]

"Why'd you liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie..!!!" LOVE IT

[@gpower]

Going to a backyard concert to listen to Morgan Davis this Sunday... I'm sure Why'd You Lie will be on the menu ...

[@melodee.r]

Hi Colin , you used to live by my sisters place in Regina ! And I’ve seen you T The Hootenanny In The Hills !!!

[@falconeaterf15]

Remember that old VH tune Finished What Ya Started? EVH on what sounds like a plain Strat with no effects. Perfect demo of classic Strat tone. Sorry Colin for digressing. But I buy all your CDs. Hope to see you soon. PS. Are those real dogs or........

[@4srv]

Love when you play Tin Pan Alley on “Lady”. I heard you like quite high action, is that true ? For bending ? Anyway, thanks again. Juneau street.

[@davidbergewaytogo]

Ahhhhhh, awesome tone... i'm not very familiar with reverbs and delays, there are so many types and parameters are confusing to me... a short presentation of your settings would be so useful (type of reverb, mix level, feeedback level... same for delay... basically, just a deeper rundown into that clean sound greatness! Colin, much love from Quebec City! :)

[@j.rozman7016]

Great strat collection! Did SS frets affect the tone? I am considering to dress my strat with SS frets. Thanks and stay healthy! Cheers!

[@daxchenier3491]

Looking forward to Gibson day and amp day 😎thanks

[@guitareveryone]

What string gauge and action do you use these days Colin? Oh and by the way....there are never too many guitars......!! Lol

[@gregcsefko]

What was the store in Toronto that you bought the sea foam?

[@waynedonaldson8287]

I have too many guitars...said NOONE ever!!! :)

[@williamfurlong4874]

How did you find the Evans pickups ? I have quite a few of them...

[@maxbembel2962]

Who did the editing and the comments? Your daughter? They were hilarious, awesome job!

[@richat1691]

[@hedwithhorns82]
