Confessions of a Guitaraholic: My Journey to Recovery

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Just woken up and reached for my phone. Up pops your video! So I’m starting my week with a Guitars and Gizmos video. So you can imagine my delight to hear my wee name mentioned! Thanks Thor, you’ve made this Scottish driving instructor feel like a rock star 🤣👍🤘(Well, at least for a few hours until I’m back on the roads getting peeped for stalling at the traffic lights).

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

I think you need to start planning your tour Paul. You have a huge fanbase now, so I can see all sold out venues across Scotland (to start with). If you need a bass player I can bring my new P-bass. Just get a groovy drummer and maybe someone on keys, and we're all set 😄 How's that for an early retirement plan? Cheers!

Thor, that playing starting at 7:30 hit a spot for me. I went back and listened to it about a dozen times. Would you be so kind to let me know how your signal chain looked like? It seemed to me that you were using a volume pedal as well, or am I wrong? Thank you in advance! Paul mentioned your channel in his recent video and I'm very much enjoying your channel!

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

Hi, thank you so much. There is no volume pedal in my chain. In the clip you are referring to I was using my Princeton Reverb AA1164 amp (Fender clone) with an Eminence Alessandro GA10-SC64 10" speaker, and the guitar was connected to it via the Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive Deluxe, Strymon El Capistan d'Tape echo, Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay (for slap back), and Neunaber Wet Reverb pedal. However the clips in this video are collected from earlier made videos so some of them will vary a bit on the amp side. All the best, Thor.

[@zororosario]

Nice guitars, your playing is superb so please don't feel bad about collecting instruments. 😊Cheers Thanks for sharing

[@50Something]

Fascinating stuff Thor!

[@standingbadger]

Glad you're hanging on to the Epi cognacburst.

[@jacekmat3475]

Hi, another great video. But... ;). Guitars are connectedto amps. Do you plan to make video about them? Or, if not, is it possible to have a more in-deep description below the video ? Best, Jacek

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

Thank you. I have presented my amps in other videos, and usually have them listed in the description of the video. I didn't specifically do it in this video, 'cause I used clips from previous made videos and it was mainly about my guitars this time. I have a plan on making a new video on my Princeton Reverb amp in the near future. All the best.

[@Stlie1]

No resonators?

[@olavjarnes944]

Do you still use some of the lucid amps?

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

Indeed, my Dumble/Fuchs inspired amp is still a favourite.

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Hey Thor you need a Gibson les paul junior, just one pick up true rock n roll no BS , do you can go shopping again, let us know what you get 😊

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

He he, might be... I don't know if you saw the last section of this video where I show my Les Paul jr. It's an Epiphone, but a rather good one. Cheers.

[@dwstoeckel4740]

So glad when I see great players loving on Epiphone..... (I love my casino) and when I purchase a P90 equipped Epi SG , my 4 guitar collection will be complete.. (w one acoustic, and a Washburn knock off of a 335) Of course , I never leave my spare bedroom..lol , so really just don’t need many guitars. 😁 And I will file my complaint here, NOT ENUF GUITAR PLAYING in this video Thor!!! 😁 ......

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

Your guitar collection sounds to be more sensible than mine. I realise I am a bit over the top with my G.A.S. Complaint noted, and I will try and not let it happen again 😄

How much for the Fraser? Unfortunately I had to get rid of mine do to money issue in 2022. I’m interested in buying your Fraser.

Hi, we can have a chat about it on email if you like. Mine is: guitarsgizmos (a) gmail.com

What did he say?

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

Put on the subtitles.

[@marccarter1350]

Your a hoarder mate. You have found reasons to keep guitars, or have storys around them. You keep saying super guitar over and over. You need 2 at most. I cleaned my guitars out. Keeping just one guitar, one amp.

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

He he, yes, I think you are right, but I'm not ready yet 😉

[@mohamedtlass3842]

Two?! Impossible, especially if you play both acoustic and electric!

[@marccarter1350]

@@mohamedtlass3842 Yeah, i played both. The solution was a Gibson 330 :-)
