Beautiful, simply the best guitar channel for me. So enjoyable, full of warm and honest reviews. Big greetings and respect 🤘🎸

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

That was a series of videos that I wouldn’t miss for anything or anyone. Thank you enjoyed every minute and look forward to the next one. 🎸🤓👍

[@paulsworld2]

This is why we love Colin......he is such an enabler. Buy, sell, buy, sell, Colin you are the man!!!!!!

Fresh brew in hand..pack of biscuits... Its that Friday time feeling

[@madnobby8301]

Hi Colin, good choice! Now you are a rich man and have to spend all that money again! You now need an Eastman T59V to fill up your collection again! Cheers Nobby

[@col7484]

Really enjoyed this series Colin, cheers !

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

Good choices for the keepers. The Squiers and the Epiphone LPS Mustard are great inexpensive ones to keep. The ones you’ve sold will make some money, while the low price ones won’t; but they have their own unique value, which is not financial. Good series.

[@Ntheguitar]

Really looking forward to seeing your new crop! Managed to sell two of mine and went straight out and bought a Robert Cray strat and why not.

[@theguitaristas]

Why not! 😆👍

[@pttrent123]

Enjoyed your series of guitars you have currently, take care and take a break!

[@alexstrums]

Really enjoyed this series Colin . Well done on cutting the fat! Recently done the same thing with 4 guitars. I didn’t want to at first but at the decided to go ahead as I wasn’t playing them and really wasn’t planning to play them! 2024 is all about playing. No purchases this year (he says 😅)

[@AnthonyCortese-p4s]

Inspiring... thank you!

[@chadbassmaster9084]

Beautiful guitars and love your videos. Did you list that beautiful white epiphone custom les paul????

[@thewhiskyscout1238]

Thank you Sir once again for an enjoyable video. Cheers

[@frankcarter6427]

I see you've sold a few since last week - deepest consolences, I feel for you man

[@christopherwatkins9729]

HiDiHi Camper ! Well... I sat up straight when I saw the 'Crafter' acoustic... Don't think you have reviewed that guitar ? Mine has a 'LR Baggs' pick-up... works very well with variety of AMPs... but play mostly as an Acoustic... THE BIG THING IS... The Tone 'diff' between Spruce and Cedar Top Models ?? Am wondering what you have and am WONDERING what it sounds like ? Even a guitar illiterate friend of mine can 'hear' and appreciate the 'diff' between my Cedar Top and other Spruce Top Models when I demo them... Ha Ha.. Even my Spruce Tops sound 'diff'... but that is harder to differentiate... to them anyway... and then ? Find it 'comforting' to know that any guitar I 'do' manage to let go (?) is going to be played more than I would have spent time playing it... but is even MORE 'comforting' to REPLACE the 'one' that you just let go of ! Gonna put the kettle on ... 🤠 ...

Aloha Colin! Take time and ride your Duck.

[@mariobusato4462]

Hello Colin, are you still selling your guitars? I’m interested in a couple of them. Would be possible to talk about it?

[@theguitaristas]

Check my reverb shop (link in description) and you can message me there. Cheers

[@Cletus4594]

Don’t fall for it lads, The guitaristas is trying to trick us into listing our own guitars so he can buy em cheap and fuel his gas.

[@1973larryrichardson]

This is now my favorite guitar channel. Honest, genuine,humble, informative, and funny. Simply marvelous. That collection is one to admire and aspire to.

[@mathewjones8886]

The sympathy I feel for this brutal cull is thankfully offset by the thought of all the new guitars you'll be able to buy and review for us. Absolutely love the channel and appreciate all the hard work you put into it. On behalf of all viewers, thanks Col.

[@jeanpaulmare6468]

Final episode of an absolutely awesome series. Thank you. There will be more. Maybe in a year's time. Tea and nibbles at the ready.

[@Dave062YT]

The Guild is an absolute bargain .If I hadn't just lost my job I'd be right on that .Someone will get a beauty anyway.Don't sell the Strummer ,you will only kick yourself .

[@eearts]

Colin it looked like you enjoyed the Squire Classic Vibe FSR more than any others? Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼😇🙏🏼

[@voyager7]

I'm a simple man. Colin posts, I watch, I click 'Like'!

[@seancook2264]

I have just watched these back to back. Absolutely love it! I have one guitar, a 2022 Epi Les Paul Lemon Burst which is great. The Mrs is even happy with it sitting on a stand in the front room! but I have a list where I am going to try and limit myself a collection of 5, maybe 6 that are diverse in their sound. A Gibson Les Paul Jnr; Telecaster 60’s and Telecaster 70’s/72 Deluxe; Gretsch Electromatic (6 or 12 string!) possibly a Sheraton……..the most positive thing to come out of my own recent rekindled guitar obsession is that my youngest daughter came downstairs last night having been practicing on her acoustic and played White Stripes 7 Nation Army! 🤘🏼

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

I missed pt3 so I'll have to go back and watch it Col.. Wish l cd win lotto (once!) I'd buy the Guild and a few others!! I wdnt sell the Strummer, they did a pretty good job replicating his Tele. Glad you're keeping the Eastman's... cracking guitars, even the Juliet's grown on me. I dunno about the UK, but prices in Australia have gone up (like everything!).. Now we have to sit back and wait to see what you buy with your new found wealth!! Good show you've got Col, we all enjoy it. Thanks mate!

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

Hi Colin. Did I miss the Duesenberg? Not that I can afford to buy it, but I just wanted to see it again on your channel….

[@theguitaristas]

Haha I tried to sell you that ages ago Paul! 😆 yes that went a while back to someone who will hopefully appreciate it more than I did.. and of course it opens the door to finding another in the future I hope!

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

@@theguitaristasWell it was a beauty. In fact, I WILL own a Duesenberg Starplayer at some point in my future. I think your original video planted a seed….. I better get saving.

[@charlesflint9048]

Some guitars become long lasting friends despite their faults. Some guitars you just fall in love with, and some just become acquaintances. It is still hard to part with any of them, whatever the relationship.

[@dananthony6258]

That’s funny. I’d pick up a les paul way before any other guitar on the planet. We all have different love affairs with these things. I was watch Mark knopfler say guitars are like characters in a play. You have to cast the right guitar for the roll. I so agree with that. As guitarist, some of us like to be a part of playing more roll than others.

[@jrchanning]

Great ending to this set of videos, looking forward to seeing the new guitars you buy with the funds raised, great stuff Colin 👍🎸😆

[@onlyguitars]

best channel!!

[@Moyetniishiswa2000]

You’re right about the Epi tv yellow. I bought one because of your review Colin. It is a great guitar. But that colour is a shocker!

[@onlyguitars]

Please get the PRS DGT SE Goldtop with moon inlays. I assure you you will ike that guitar VERY MUCH! Chunky neck, no birds, vintage tone. Is fantastic! And Im someone who owns an Eastman SB59/v, owened Gibson USA gibson Custom shop, and the PRS is just amazing. Please get one!

[@theguitaristas]

I’m looking at that… waiting for a good price!

[@onlyguitars]

@@theguitaristas awesome! that will be a great review to watch!

[@PipeCat1965]

You've consigned yourself to a tough job, Colin. I'd be pulling my hair out over parting with these axes. I covet that Japanese LP.

[@buzzstankos8532]

Another great fun video, Colin…. I really think you are going to love the PRS SE DGT… I am older than you and had similar thoughts about PRS, except that I have been a Santana fan for many years. I now have 3 PRS SE guitars and 2 of them are beside me all the time instead of my Gibson or Fender. I have McCarty 594 single cut - best guitar I’ve ever played and a Silver Sky - fab.. give it a try

[@rockinrob2004]

LMAO! I think I said it in one of these parts 1-3, I'm having the same issue trying to decipher which ones I can comfortably sell without regret. I don't have a channel here, or a Reverb page. Just an eBay page in the USA & when ones don't sell even after reduction in price and/or with an auction or buy it now, I've taken some down as well. And like you say, "Scammers everywhere". I've regretted selling a few & can't sell some that have been with me for decades. Anyway, carry on I'm just watching this today & will be watching your newest one later today I have to catch up. It's nice to have many as they do bring us pleasure & they are nice to look at. I'm sadly paying down bills instead of re-investing in them & because of issues medically not being able to play as I used to, so they're mainly going because of that. IF I get better I'll probably be more pi**ed about some I've let go as we know some cannot be replaced. Anywho, stay well mate! Cheers!

[@Paul-D]

Iffff you decide to sell the sb59v on the next cull and i haven’t already bought one - give me a bell

[@theguitaristas]

You will have to fight me for it Paul! 🤣👍

[@nicirvin1994]

See I've got a problem... I've probably 50 guitars.. And Epiphone is the most valuable and those are bolt on neck so not even set necks.. They are all 10 year old or obviously older.. Lots from the 80s.. Plenty of Encore.. I buy them and set them up to play as good as anything 3 or 4 times more expensive than the usual £50 or less I pay for them so.. My excuse for not selling any is as you say.. There's no resale value... 🤔

[@Poppy-tw1ve]

Just go ahead and mortgage the house, build a bigger shop, KEEP THEM ALL! 😂 Problem solved! But buying new ones keeps the wheel turning.

[@christianboddum8783]

I will not be selling my 2022 LP 50's standard anytime soon, it's a bl...y great guitar. On recordings it really shows, I'm a Superstrat guy mostly, it took a while to get the real deal LP but I was not disappointed, and it's all in the wood, you can't fake that!

[@bandierrez]

Whenever I pick one up, I think I might sell, it’s either to shambolic to sell, or too good to sell. So, I tend to not sell them w/o refraining from touching

[@TheRicardoSanchez]

I'm in a place of, "I will pay whatever it's worth to me" - meaning I'm entirely focused on what I want to play and not what I have to pay to get it. Not that price isn't a factor, but I would prob overpay for something I just want because it's meaningful to me - and the market doesn't really play much of a role in whether I buy a particular guitar. I feel it needs to be a personal thing - not a "what's the market on it" thing. That just feels wrong. Guitars are a personal thing. It should speak to you and grab you in the soul somehow. It should compel you. And if you're compelled by it, buy it and don't quibble over a few quid here or there. Buy it, have a relationship with it. Or don't.

[@hogie1259]

Nothing like starting my days off with a new video from The Guitaristas! Absolutely love this channel.

[@QXZJX]

You don't have to marry for life everyone you would like to kiss; same with buying guitars ❤

[@mortonwilson795]

Hi Colin, great final instalment - bravo! My friend -(a) keep the Eastmans, natch -they are gorgeous and I really do believe this initial batch will reach ''59 Gibson status' in a decade or two and (b) I'd hang on to that Gibson L50 acoustic too if I were you. If i had the money I would happily have taken 'Scratch' off your hands . . .despite the grief the Peach retailers put you thru I think it was a lovely piece and I am 100% sure the new owner is enjoying it. The rest, let them go as you see fit. FYI, in case you hadn't noticed, Eastman are now taking on Fender - the Coral Blue "S Style' is now No. 4 after SB59/v, Pomona Blonde Juliet. T 494 (? - semi acoustic 335/ Casino). They have a Tele and whatever but the Strat is the only one that grabs me . . . cheers and it's great you are letting stuff go. The way I see it you are a an SG & Tele guy - absolute opposite of me (LP & Strat) but I am happy you are hanging onto those Eastmans . . .all the best from the mystic East 😃

[@GROCK619]

Nice Work !! Thanks again !! Let's get you too 100 k subscribers !!!

I have that LP special Epiphone, diaper mustard yellow, and yes it looks better on camera than in one’s hands.

This has been a great series of 4 videos - genuinely looked forward to the next episode on Fridays each week - enjoy the week off

[@kiragina.7152]

I got tired of waiting for you to review the Epiphone Uptown Kat ES and bought one used. It's a great playing and sounding guitar. You really should check one out. My favorite Epiphone. Love the show and looking forward to seeing what you get in 2024.

I *am* a little surprised that the Joe Strummer Telecaster was put up for sale. I would love to see a roundup of the top x guitars. Great idea.

[@FormerlyknownasT]

If thats the best les paul you've ever had keep it until something better comes along ..

[@nieko3038]

Love the look of that L50 and similar guitars. Would be a great wallhanger. Wouldn’t play it. Some lovely guitars again. Woman collect handbags. Some people collect stamps. You can only wear one pair of shoes at the time. I love having multiple different guitars.

Thanks for the content! The 50's Standard sounds great. That would be one of the last ones I would sell. But I have 4 of the 50's so I'm Jaded. The SG would stay too. At least for me.

I'm hunting and gathering for my 94 V11 Sport, carbs, cables, throttle barrel, I haven't sold any guitars. I'm selling my 1976 BMW 2002 instead!

I know what you mean. I got an Epi Les Paul because of all the hype, and, it is perfect. But, I usually just pick up the Telecaster. Great video as usual.

Keep the Gibson Les Paul and get rid of one of the other copies!

[@jamesseverin]

Colin you have a awesome show!! Take your time we are not going anywhere!

Hi Colin, Now you've sold all these guitars and have some cash burning in your skyrocket, I thought I'd wet your whistle. Bernie Marsden is selling his 1998 Gibson Custom Shop Lonnie Mack Flying V + OHSC Bernie Marsden Collection on Reverb. 🔥🤘

Saw a BC Rich Exclusive in a pawn shop yesterday for $90. Looks really nice hard tail, tarnished frets and missing a tone knob but it’s made in Korea. I can’t find 1 anywhere for sale like it it’s red I think it’s a EM1

[@theguitaristas]

Sounds like a good score!

[@jeffroq]

I've loved this series of videos Col. Taking a leaf I flipped a few guitars yesterday at my local store (shout out to Back Alley Music) walked away with a black Eastman 59v and an Eastman Acoustic. 3 out 2 in. No regrets. 😊

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

Theyre great guitars mate.. youll enjoy em!

@Guitaristas Why would you get rid of that military green Squier classic vibe Telecaster or even change the pickups!!? It sounds great looks great. What is the problem, have you too many teles. You completely lost me on this one.

I'm very pleased to say I'm now the proud owner of the Joe Strummer Tele! It's fantastic and just perfect for me as I gig most weeks and it's gonna get some real proper outings this year with my band,The SKAstards. I have to say a massive thank you to Colin for doing a deal with me on Reverb. Been playing it the last 2 days and it's immense and looks fantastic and as a huge Clash and Joe Strummer fan it's deffo the guitar for me. Long live the Guitaristas!

Hi Colin... I am enjoying the video's every week so keep them coming I have also signed up for you TV channel. But one complaint in that you are closing me a fortune, the reason being that since watching you channel I have purchased many guitars to date approx 30. My latest aquision was a Chison Les Paul with the Greeny modification done. Take care and keep them coming.....lol.

I have a Crafter TA050/AM Accoustic and I think they make great guitars for the price. All lovely guitars Colin. That Eastman always Special to see and what a lovely thing it is. I prefer it to Gibson. The Joe Strummer Tele as well is one of the must keep and not worth losing si much money on it as its too good to get a hit on it. I think you would regret selling that the most. On the Squier Tele I think Texan Special pickups will sound the best. It will make it sound so good and have that special sound.

Don't sell the Vintage! I have the same JHS Vintage SG junior model Colin, great guitar, its known as the the VS6 Icon model, MRPCR, discontinued in 2014. Only mod I've done is upgrade the wrap around tailpiece to a Faber compensated Aluminium. Its a really great, inexpensive (but v hard to find now secondhand) copy and has the correct body shape unlike modern JHS Vintage SG's. I think the word you were after was adjustable wrap around bridge (so that its fully intonatable) when describing the bridge you have in situ on your guitar.

That SG-2 is BAD ASS! Such a cool guitar! Mojo for days, yes. Personally, I enjoy modded in period and well used guitars, even if it is something that is considered classic or valuable these days. When they were modded, someone was just trying to reach a vision they had for the instrument or for the type of music they were playing, with no regard for future value, which they could hardly know anyway! Nice one.
