My ex-wife, Plaintiff, once asked me: “Who do you love more...me, or your guitar?” I said “ Well, that depends....which guitar are we talking about?”

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Love it! I laughed out loud at that. Read it out to my wife..... 🤣

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

You were married to Plaintiff, too?? Man, that bisch sure gets around...😂

[@sesa1076]

I could never truly love an inanimate object. But then again I’d never want to spend every waking second with an animate one. (335 for me)

[@ChrisWilson-mg1it]

Haha

[@cpguitars1]

That gave me a laugh.

[@musicmann1967]

Everybody's a teenager again when they start looking at guitars!

[@joycerichardson1810]

Oh, yes! Those Gretsches got me!

[@nmcg2587]

Your Dad has a real passion He's gonna stay young forever! Thanks to you and your Dad for sharing all these gems.

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thank you N McG 👍. He’ll be pleased to read your comment.

[@Stratboy999]

Now this gentleman has impeccable taste. Awesome stuff, and I love the joy that he clearly takes in having them.

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thanks Stratboy999. Glad you enjoyed the vid 👍

[@johnnybravoski7048]

Give your Dad a hug every chance you get. His enthusiasm is contagious. (It got you, right?) Thanks for sharing! This made my Sunday morning.

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thank you Johnny, what a lovely comment 👍

[@vintagebrew1057]

I don't play myself but I love looking at vintage guitars. They are works of art. Great collection. Thanks.

[@buckachiddy]

This gentleman is clearly a connoisseur. What a superb set (that must be worth a small fortune, collectively, given the condition)

[@edgeofeternity101]

Remarkable taste your father has. I can't remember how many times I said 'WOW" when he open the case. Thank you both for sharing.

[@gangnamstylegrandpa6352]

Amazingly Beautiful guitars ! Each one is pristine , like mint condition ! Dad must also love his guitars !You can just hear the appreciation in his voice ! He is a proud owner of a world class collection !

That’s a great collection and your Dad is clearly one of he coolest Dads around

You know what I just randomly clicked on this for no real reason and felt compelled to leave a small comment to say how nice the video was to watch. A loving father and son reminiscing. Thank you for posting it.

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thank you Shed Loads, what a nice comment to leave! Delighted you liked my vid. 👍

Cheers Scott, delighted you enjoyed the vid 👍

[@ejoey64]

Yeah very responsived Gibson accoustic i ever heard in my life ✌

[@mrtambourineman6107]

I have the same guitar and yes I can confirm it sounds good

[@joycerichardson1810]

Those older Gibson jumbos and even the J-45s have so much volume and fullness.

[@m.a.c.8366]

very impressed here with your dad's collection as well as his exuberance and commentary discussing each guitar... there is passion in his words regarding each specific piece.. thanks very much for sharing, regards.

Great to see you and your dad together and share your love for guitars. Amazing collection! Love the Gretsches!

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thanks Jeff! Yes, they remind me of old American cars, just gorgeous and so much presence. My favourite was that old one from the mid 60’s.... it even smelled old, just lovely. Cheers Jeff.

[@philjones6054]

I thought I had a nice guitar collection but, having watched this, I guess I was wrong!! This collection is off the scale cool. I can't stop salivating!!

[@joycerichardson1810]

It's unreal! And the condition of them is superb.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

Yes, he clearly had to piece this collection piece at a time one or two a year or something, as each seemed to bring back a different set of memories.

[@lucymiamibeach9372]

Beautiful! I wish that I could hear a song played on each one!💎

[@Skybluetoo]

That was absolutely fascinating. Thanks for posting that. What a collection!

Thank you Marc. Yes, I’d forgotten just how many he has, and just how shiny he keeps them 🤣. Cheers for watching Marc

[@JK-qm8ps]

Awesome collection, your dad is so enthusiastic, lots of respect

[@h.l.westlake6083]

I must say I truly admire the love you both share for lovely guitars along with the true passion. Trying to find propper words to express the warmth this glorious union of father and son sharing what they love together. Semi speechless and much respect from Maine on a chilly winter day. Cheers, HW

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Loved your comment HW, made me smile. Thanks for watching, enjoy your day 🙏

[@IrishAndy85]

Holy cow your dad's a boss! What a stunning collection he has. What a refreshing and enjoying video that was. Many thanks for your video and for your dad's time for showing us his beautiful collection

[@jamieforbes3661]

Stunning!!! Mind blowing!! Never have I seen such an incredible collection of vintage rare guitars owned by one obviously very cool guy! I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see what jewel was coming out next. Superb!

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Wow 2 things first : This guy had a good job, he also had a very understanding wife. The great thing about collecting guitars these days is it's like collecting art, the prices only go one way.

[@becausegang7266]

It doesn’t matter what the subject is, hearing someone talk so passionately about what they love is always great. This collection is something else and your dad is cool as fuck. Peace and love to you both

Yes, thank you sharing your Dad’s collection. Your Dad’s just as much a Rare Gem as those gems, reminds me of Mark K. song “I Dug Up A Diamond”

[@dubskj01]

Your Dad has impeccable taste in guitars, and thanks to you both for sharing. It's great to see his excitement as he tells the stories behind some of them. I think we all can relate to that. Many thanks.

Thank you Don, appreciate your nice comment. 👍

What a great video. Your Dad has a great collection. I watched the video twice. Thanks for sharing.

[@mickhopper928]

I'm in love, what a collection. All I can do is dream. Thank you for sharing your fathers collection.

[@micksleight6532]

I'm about the same age as your dad and I too am guitar mad. We will both have similar memories of cheap 50s guitars with ads in the paper for them costing 6gns on easy payments. Drooling over guitar catalogues from Ivor Mairants and Hofner. Then living through the sixties as teenagers, what a time! I've collected a few guitars over the years too but not quite like your dad's. Hope he has many more years of enjoyment from that wonderful collection.

[@tyecook9630]

I have 2 squire strats...and I love them!..

[@christopherclarke3022]

Thank you that was great. May he continue to an extreme ripe age and continue to enjoy those beautiful guitars.

[@brivington2011]

Oh my god what a beautiful guitar collection thank you for sharing!

Thanks Lewis 😀

[@zakkman]

Awesome dad! and gorgeous collection) so sad that my parents dont share my passion to music playing( Strat with bounded neck is a dream!

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Yes, that Strat was even more beautiful in the flesh... I’ve never seen one quite like that. It’s a Fender “Select” Stratocaster, it has a Mahogany body and a AAA flamed maple top.... maybe I’ll ask my Dad to see if I can borrow it for a KZbin review. Cheers for watching 😀

[@gangnamstylegrandpa6352]

Truly an amazing collection of guitars ! All beautiful and special !

Great to see your Dar’s collection. Some really truly amazing guitars there. I can see and understand the pride in them. The very best of luck to you both 🎸. Keep on playing 👍

[@getenlightened]

Wow, your dad is really cool and yes, that is an amazing collection! Just incredible.

[@Jewsonemp]

Not a big fan of electrics or Gretsch but I was blown away by your dad's enthusiasm. He obviously appreciates them all and although there are quite a few which appear to be very similar he understands the minute differences that make them all very individual.

[@ronhutcheson5503]

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, two great guitar players there ! Such classic guitars and gentlemen !

@@paulstaffordcook8799 I've lived in Nashville my entire life and played guitar here. But your style is more "Nashville" than most any player here now. A true honor to see you and your Dad with all his great guitars. Truly inspirational. Thanks to both of you !

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Cheers Ron! Now there’s a bucket list item for me.... To visit Nashville 🤣. One day, one day. Want to visit Gruhn’s guitars! And I want to just sit on a street corner with a coffee and just soak it all up. Maybe see if I can spot me a guitar hero walking by, like a Tom Bukovac !

Sir what a wonderful -Amazing collection congrats to you

[@dutchjonnie]

Thanks for sharing the joy of owning such a lovely collection of guitars. My wife, an excellent pianist, owns an upright and a Roland keyboard and doesn't see the need for anymore. Unfortunately she applies the same logic to my guitars... a mere 5 is 3 to many! Over the past 50 years I have enjoyed buying, owning, holding and smelling( yes my classical smells lovely!) my guitars as much as I've enjoyed trying to play them and has given me enormous pleasure. Note to young guitarists I regret selling any of my guitars and would love to have them all back. Thanks again and keep collecting!

[@gilh3947]

That is a great collection!

[@mma1st105]

Great care has been taken with these guitars I'm impressed

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thanks. Yes, each guitar has a dedicated duster and is lovingly wiped down after each play. Thanks for watching 👍

[@boomtap7554]

Loved it. Thanks for sharing those guitars. Nice to hear someone talking about them with such love. :)

[@burnwash8174]

"That's the good thing about the guitar; no matter how good you are, and no matter how long you've had it, you still want to play." Truer words were never spoken, Mr. Cook!

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Thank you Burnwash. And cheers for watching 👍

[@shartne]

Your dad has good taste in guitars for sure. I was worried what my wife would think if I bought a second guitar. Now I think I will.

[@stevethorpe3477]

Don't worry' it not until you get into double figures that the trouble starts, after that 25 or maybe 35 is not such an issue as they don't see where you have hidden them!
