My Guitar Collection & More March 19, 2020 By Scott Grove

[@misterbaddabing]

Scott, I've never actually met you but you feel like someone I have spent many an hour conversing with over a couple of drinks. Like my flesh and blood buddies , I sometimes don't agree with you but I respect your opinions and more importantly your right to express them. Over time I have watched the reflection in my mirror match the changing shades of your beard. Thank you for all the work you have put into producing this content, All the best to my virtual friend.

[@stratguy1013]

Scott..I have been watching you for a long time. You have been the reason I have advanced in my playing and confidence. I own many of your courses and still refer to them today. Be healthy stay Groovy and thank you for helping so many to play better.

[@groovydjs]

You made my day Warren, thank you so much!!! I hope all is superb on your end in every way. I just now got 10 more guitar hangers in and it's time to climb the ladder and get the rest of my guitars put up where they belong. If I have to stay in the house (yeah, like I ever get outside...lol), I might as well play with guitars. Stay groovy my friend and thanks again!

[@bronzesnake7004]

"Had some heavy metal band's autograph all over the pickguard. So I threw the pickguard away"! LOL!! Classic Doc Groovy!! We wouldn't want you any other way brother! LO!! Jack ~'()'~ Canada

[@Ibaneddie76]

Awesome as always Scott! So glad you are still on KZbin.

[@markdp1983]

That's a surprise, Scott's thinned out the collection a lot.. The earlier collection video's were like a guitar history museum tour. He must have made a lot of coin shifting some of those high end guitars though!

[@groovydjs]

LOL, yeah... I promised to keep the room nice and neat (especially since I was getting the master bedroom). lol So, just down to guitars I thought I would actually play in a live situation. A few have changed since this video. Whatever can fit on these hooks and on the stands on the floor is the limit.

[@markdp1983]

@@groovydjs The guitar room should be the master room in any house! I always liked your buying and selling on ebay video from years ago. Some of your tips I've used. So how did you go selling all that high end stuff? Did you get what you should have got? Those pristine '78 and '79 PS-10's? The dreaded '97 Ace Frehley signature? How did you go? Big 'overs" on any? You should do a video on that!

[@brittain522]

You’ve got the grooviest guitars I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the tour buddy!

[@rmassman2]

Hey Scott... hope you're doing well. I've been away from your channel against my will for over a decade and all of a sudden this one popped up on my feed. I used to love your guitar reviews and the rundowns on your collection. Same for this one, but man, you have seriously trimmed the numbers down. Back before I had to stop watching you had added the Buddy Guy Stratocaster and a Peavy T-60 to your collection. I'm glad to see the Buddy Guy still there. I think that one won a blindfold shootout if I'm not mistaken. I had one in Dakota Red at the time and I think it was the sweetest strat I ever played. I was surprised you didn't still have the T-60. You were really stoked when you got it. Okay, I'll stop yakking. Glad to see you're still around and doing the KZbin thing. Take care, brother!

[@TSK-py2vy]

It's great to see you Scott. I've been tuning in for many years. You inspired me to buy a Strat Plus. I still have it and I love it. Take care buddy. Keep em coming!

[@groovydjs]

Great to hear from you! I'm glad you are still digging the Strat. TOO GROOVY!

[@Lastminuteprepper1967]

Thank you so much Scott for the collection update vid!!!! Its more than just a video, it"s a public service.I can"t speak for any of the other fans but it was nice to be able to take my mind off things for a bit.

[@HRBPS23]

Hi Scott I have 1982 Electra Phoenix X155 with super magnaflux pups. Have you ever done a video with these pups, if not can you do one soon? Thx

[@jasonkelly101]

Been waiting patiently for another collection vid! Could listen to you talk about your axes all day! Big respect from Ireland! Cheers Scott! :)

[@contrabandjoe7974]

I've been a huge fan of the Gold Sparkle Strat since day 1... Great looking finish....

[@therugburnz]

Thanx Scott. Your collections always seem to give me ideas. I don't collect now. I sold most my gear more than decades ago to stay off the road. I kept the guitar my mom gave me in 1980(the Paul), my wife's aunts 1959 Custom Kraft electric(Harmony), a 12string Yamaha(broken truss rod)for OpenC#unison and a $74Glarry(sounds,plays good). I only play at fish fries, nursing homes,church etc.They were all players and I miss Two or Four but I've never had to work or play unless I wanted to. I still get to play for making music reasons, the real reasons like bringing people together in step to feel and be human. Sorry for dumping, just making a drawn out point.

[@groovydjs]

It sounds like you are making music for all the right reasons. The older I get....the more I see that. I'm avoiding the inevitable for some reason. Hopefully I'll come to my senses someday soon.

[@BarryPoogy]

Your Naked Trucker jack plate suggestion made me laugh and spray my coffee onto the keyboard. I'm amazed at how creative and personal your collection is. Stay safe Scott.

[@gillamb8669]

[@vasilias2230]

Thank you for helping people who can't afford physical lessons each week. God Bless you

[@groovydjs]

Hey, my total pleasure! I'll get some more lessons up for you this week.

[@DetroitWrecker666]

This is probably my favorite collection of yours, so far. Nice work!

[@groovydjs]

Many thanks my man. This set is by far the most "PLAYABLE" (meaning I could grab pretty much anything off the wall and be happy with it at a gig). I have a couple of new members to the family to introduce you to very soon.....waiting on the newest to get here from Spain.

[@briannorman952]

Another great video by Doctor Groovy!!! Keeping everything real!!! Love the pink paisley!!

[@groovydjs]

Thanks Brian. Much appreciated. The pink paisley is legendary. I love it.

[@hebrewhammer639]

Howdy Sir Were so glad you have kept and enjoy the Falcon that my ma n me sent you. She just turned 92! You really did an amazing job on it. Knowing you take it down and lean in-2-it once in awhile does both our hearts good. Thank you for all the years of great content. J PS: We also really appreciated your rendition of "Ma Ma Tried" that you laid down for us. Take care of yourself and I know it ain't easy bein' grezzy so just.... Stay Groovy!

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

I like how you aren't afraid to customize your guitars, they look very cool.

[@groovydjs]

Glad you like them!

[@bronzesnake7004]

My absolute favorite guitar related video of all time anywhere on Boobtube was your multi part best guitar deals!! I think it had 6 parts, and it was freaking AWESOME! I can't find it, I guess you shit canned it? I hope not because I'd sure love to see that again! Have you considered an updated version? Sweet collection as per usual Brosephus!

Hi! Scott love your guitar collection: were can I get a Rainsong like yours love it.

[@redhorse554det1]

thank you for the tour scott.

[@ryleebirkle3855]

I must say I have learned a lot from your youtubes over the years. Learned a lot about different guitars from your efforts. I even bought a guitar from you once. It was the black refinished Washburn Force 3. That is a very nice sounding and playing guitar. I had some Evo Gold medium jumbo frets installed on it and now it plays a little more easily. One of my favorites. Have you ever owned a Palir guitar? I have one that is called the Imperial. Most of his are tele copies called the Titan. The Imperial is a jazzmaster copy. It has the Mastery bridge and whammy tail piece assembly. Jason Lollar PUPS...... better than most Jazzmasters you can find. Best of luck to you. Stay healthy and play a lot. May you always have wood....... ha ha...... tone or otherwise........ Take care

[@groovydjs]

Hey there Rylee. Thanks so much! I will go look for the Palir guitars right away. I haven't heard of them. I'm glad that you appreciate the Force 3. Those are such groovy axes. I had 90% of my oversized prostate taken out via a T.E.R.P. and that took away 100% of my wood. That sucked ass for 2 years. They didn't tell me I could take the little, blue pills and get something going on. The wife is happy again. lol I know......T.M.I. You stay groovy and healthy.

[@beanapalooza6614]

DUDE!! Been watching your new vids. I'm so glad you came back for the Attack, to entertain us unworthy "gitardeeacks". Your fan from Alabam!! Glad your doing as well as I am lol. It ain't all that down here!!! Haha keep them coming Bud!!

[@heikkiharju636]

Scott, I have pro bably missed some of your videos BUT, what happend with all your fantastic Ibanez PS10 and Iceman guitars?? Why did you sell them?

[@groovydjs]

I always sell my entire collection every couple of years and then have so much fun buying more guitars for a new collection. I always make a profit on the guitars I get.....so, it's nice to get MORE money to spend on the new collection. I miss those guitars, they were so much fun to track down and be able to get them.

[@heikkiharju636]

@@groovydjs OK, do you have any Ibanez PS10 in your collection today?

[@SwanseaTitanFan]

Gosh, it must have been years since I seen the axes. Thanks Scott

[@johntaylor7496]

Very Groovy to see the guitfiddles you kept. Sweet stack of basses.

[@ApexChrisHansen]

Hey Scott, have you ever played an Ibanez FR (tele knockoff)??

[@filianablanxart8305]

The mystery Resonator is an ( Import ) Regal , circa 2000 . I can't keep their model numbers straight on their sub variants from different ( modern ) years ,but the vine fretboard was their top of the line at the time .

[@groovydjs]

You are exactly correct. "Regal" was just escaping my mind. Thanks for the information!!!

[@lngodwetrust7117]

Amazing collection!!!! The only thing Dr. Groovy can't cure is guitar addiction.

[@toneseeker4968]

What are you trying to say? Guitar addiction normal, isn't it?

[@danielhartman5086]

When someone asks me. How many guitars do you need. My reply is .Just 1 more.

[@groovydjs]

Always a GREAT answer!

[@gregorygallagher6917]

Hey Dr. Groovy, just wondering, did anything ever come of the Ed Roman Double V ala Vinnie Vincent? I remember you talking about that a few years ago, and personally I think its the coolest looking axe.

[@manderson9289]

Wasn't there another brand that Martin distributed other than stinger? My friend had a pink one with a Floyd that looked like hell but played real nice. Maybe it was called a stinger also...i'm old and don't remember lol!

[@groovydjs]

Martin actually made some electric guitars for a while that were pretty high end. Besides the Stinger stuff, the only other off brand they had were the Sigma acoustic guitars.

[@jasonkelly101]

How do you keep them all so clean and dust free Scott? Keep rockin’!!

[@groovydjs]

Not easy at all for sure. I try to clean 4-5 per day and that still leaves the first round filthy when I come back around to them. The joys of living in the desert.

[@jasonkelly101]

Groovy Music Lessons stay groovy!! :)

[@suekennedy8917]

Many thanks. I cant afford high end stuff like that. What I can afford is $100 Yamaha EG Series, compliments of Great Used Guitars. Dr Groovy rules again!

[@Theylieohio]

Hey Doc, you spoke about getting a Operation to ease you pain , did that happen?

[@WayneMemphisMojo]

Do you still have the 3 pickup 1977 Explorer with the gold hardware?

[@groovydjs]

I don't. I sold all my expensive axes within the same one month time period. That one went pretty quickly.

[@WayneMemphisMojo]

@@groovydjs hey sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do, I'm enjoying your channel & new place a lot man.

[@ColinStuart]

Welcome back Scott, I hope you feel about half as good as you look! If I wanted any of the guitars, S.S.D.I, only gives me about $900 a month to live on, with the help of my wife being paid as my caregiver. It makes it to thin on buying anything. I couldn't even cover shipping from NV to CO, so there, I'm only 68, but they say I'll probably see 90 (God Forbid!). I've been playing for 56 years, but five strokes have robbed most of my experience. the doctors can't give me cancer, so I just have to settle for Back Disease, vascular disease, heart disease, and diabetes!

[@tatialo37]

Yay!!! A new video of guitar by the Man!!!!

[@groovydjs]

Hey there Ruben! Great to have you back. I always appreciate when you stop by my groovy little jungle. lol Stay awesome!

[@juanvaldez5422]

Have you tried a PRS silver sky? Figured you would dig it

[@groovydjs]

I haven't had a chance to try one yet. With no music stores close to me, I usually have to buy things first and have them sent to me in order to give them a try.

[@juanvaldez5422]

Groovy Music Lessons I hear you. If you get to try one out , let me know. Everybody hated on them at first, but there supposedly awesome. I think it hurt fenders sales last year, thus the introduction of the “fender ultra” line . I’m a high gain , humbucker mostly player so I haven’t rushed to try one , yet. Good to see you man, the KZbin guitar “community “ needs you, cuz the KZbin guitar community , like KZbin itself, sucks balls now and is one big infomercial of bs

[@cjw3129]

Hey Scott how goes it do you like the hard luck king guitar? I keep looking at the firebird style they have I want a firebird but dont wanna pay what they go for so I saw a hard luck king version at a affordable price thanks man take care out there in the apocalypse

[@groovydjs]

I actually like the HLK axes. I've had 4 or 5 of them now. The first batch was to do Mopar car designs on. This one is for me. I bet that their Firebirds and V's would be pretty sweet. I would pull the trigger on them myself any old day. Be aware that if you order a case.....they come from a different facility and you have to pay shipping on BOTH of them. Cheers.

Thank you dr.

[@neilpye6089]

Interesting collection of wood and wire.

[@randywoolum2648]

Hey Scott, may I ask your opinion on a guitar's value?? I recently purchased a Fender MIJ E series 1986 Stratocaster in 3-tone sunburst, SSS w/the system 1 tremolo and locking nut made by Schaller with original hardshell case, and aside from a small nick in the bottom horn, this guitar + the case is dead mint! The guitar looks 2 years old, no joke. No tarnishing, no fading, no fret wear, no mods, nothing, all original....it's like it was barely even touched, and I paid $690 for it. Do you think that was a good deal??? I'm sure you get asked this kind of crap a lot, but you know guitars inside and out, and know what's good and what's crap. Love your videos and I appreciate all you do, take care my friend!

[@groovydjs]

Hey there Randy. The nasty ones fetch around $600 and they go up from there to around $1,100. I love those axes. The majority of them were called the CONTEMPORARY Stratocasters. '86 was the last year before the USA plant opened up in Carona, CA. So, the Japanese really had the Fender axes down to a science for sure. My #1 axe is my '85/'86 Pink Paisley Strat from Japan. That puppy has seen the world and nearly a dozen total refrets. They just made the perfect axe (for me at least) and I've had quite a few of the Contemporary Strats as well. Pure quality and I really hope you are enjoying it.

[@randywoolum2648]

@@groovydjs Thanks a lot Scott for the input! I really am enjoying it. My father had the same exact guitar that he purchased new back in 86' but his was Olympic white, and he gave that guitar to me as my first guitar, so getting this one was kind of a nostalgic thing. I kind of wish it was white also, but the style, playability, sound, and the case is identical so it's close enough. It's like they say "you can't ride yesterday's train" lol, but it's a sweet guitar!

[@franktrzepacz1645]

How come no Gibson Sonex Customs there about the same as the Gibson Invader be nice to hear your thoughts, nice collection Scott ,Time will make the whiskey better,but it sure chips up the bottle

Thanks man. Ah, you remember that guitar! The guy that bought it is SOOOOO happy. He has a Firebird ONLY collection and that one is the crowning jewel because of its condition and rarity. I can't believe it made it to the other side of the world with the headstock intact. The ACE FREHLEY Les Paul and the mint 1976 Explorer both lost their headstocks traveling short distances.

Scott do you remember what video you picked up a fiddle and did a little random rant about Charlie Daniels and his playing? It was some of the funniest shit that I've ever heard, trying to find it with his passing today. Funny thing is before you pointed it out I actually always thought he was one hell of a player lol.

If you can find that old clip shoot a link in your tribute video, I’m sure there must be a way to include it while still being respectful.

I've already seen all the mods you've done on all those fine axes. I say FINE AXES because you only keep the good ones. If I had to make a pick as my favorite I'm going to say your pink cheap trick guitar. Now you didn't call it that this time you said it was the one sold to you by a girl from the voice. Correct? Man I had no idea about that. All these years all these guitar vids and that's always been my huckleberry. I just knew it as the cheap trick guitar and have always loved it. Now that that girls name is on it as the seller to you the price just went up! Damn man that sux for me because I could only ever make an offer for one your axes and that's the one. LOL!
