The Guitaristas 'New Guitars' Day - Multiple Unboxing Session!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@GrantTempleton]

How to recover from a few traumatic weeks of selling guitars? Buy guitars! Simple, elegant solution… nice!

[@moose6676]

🙈👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Brilliant

[@hampusnilsson6950]

Lets go!! Affordable tele match up on the horizon!!

[@davedavis7589]

for a guitar player - this is one of the best channels on youtube ...

[@rkphilpot]

It’s just nice that it’s a down to earth bloke talking guitars. I find all the reviews seem to be the same except for this channel.

[@samsonthecurrent]

agreed!!!

[@markmcculloch2570]

Have to agree. Really enjoyed this. From South Africa 🤙🏻

[@johnm3152]

Yup !

[@paulgebhard3803]

The Coyote PLUS Colin has the strings that go through the body, roughly £30 more

[@Rico__B]

Out with the old, in with the New… Excellent video-Can’t wait to see you Shread with the Kramer! 🤘Cheers from sunny Arizona.

[@MalisaDonnelly]

Great show, great content with very promising content coming, no better way to spend my Friday morning s, as my kids would say " you rock"

[@michaelbennett376]

I bought a Harley Benton gold top awhile back,put a set of Grover tuners on it, smoothed down the gritty frets & polished them, and it plays & sounds great, IMO. The fret board is dark, I forget what its called, but I like it better than Pau Ferro.

[@victorbeebe8372]

Aloha Colin! DGT is probably their best designed guitar.

[@mustarddave898]

Loved this vid Colin, who don’t enjoy seeing unboxing of new guitars, great stuff👍🏻

[@MartyGerman]

BTW PRS Whammy bar is hopefully in the gig bag?

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

I like the PRS, excellent guitars but I'd never buy one for myself, my niece has one and it plays like butter...the Kramer reminds me of my first guitar, bought in 1985.That bound Tele is lovely. Thanks from New Zealand.

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

Yeah mate, the Tele Custom or Custom Tele and the Maybach were the picks of the litter for me!!

[@DannyRoss_]

Pmt Southend closing was a tragic moment, would’ve been the perfect place to go when I’m on break at college

[@DevInvest]

Leaving Las Vegas, wood & steel style! (Which, BTW, has Michael McDonald on the soundtrack doing “Lonely Teardrops” Which can also be heard on “New York Rock & Soul Review event” it’s fantastic) “Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.” 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👊🏻

[@waynewagner395]

Nice playout jam!

[@Dave062YT]

Have you looked at the Antiquity offset .It looks great but as there are no independent reviews soI've held back

[@tcarbonimusic]

Greetings from New York City! Missed you last week since I always look forward to Fridays. Glad to have you back. Love the looks of all the Telecasters. Really looking forward to the reviews and the comparisons.

[@KennedyIvy]

That kramer is really cool looking

[@albert2395]

The Antiquity looked rather nice.😊

[@isoldesauer1559]

I get the "pointy" PRS thing, the guitarist in my band had one and I had to look away alot.

[@Siriusd1974]

Haha! Bonners! My local shop. No expense spared there. 😂

[@theguitaristas]

😆👍

[@DaringDan]

Great picks for review. Can't wait to hear 'em all. Cheers, homie.

[@dannygalea6070]

I really loved the Harley Benton, awesome looking 😊 for the money 💰

[@TheWelhaven]

Funny you got a Maybach Albatroz jr. That’s my #1 guitar (mine’s black), and the back-up is an Eastman sb55dc/v that you also seems to like. Similar taste in guitars it seems.

[@theguitaristas]

👍👍

[@eoinjennings519]

145 for that Tele is a steal

[@iowaal7671]

Says he doesn’t like showy guitars than unboxes a bright red guitar with a big smile. 😂

[@Brykk]

Im a 100% prs fanboy. I own a few, but that dgt is like what im saving up for next. The only difference is that i want the bird inlays. Looking forward to a bunch of reviews.

[@geoffwhitemusic]

Yayy! PRS!

[@graemero5532]

You are a naughty boy Col. Sitting there playing an SG rip off with a Gibson t-shirt on 🤣

[@davidireland6952]

nice one!! you are starting to buy and review some budget guitars 😄👍 can't wait to see your reviews of them..i love affordable budget electric guitars (it is a Fantastic feeling when you get to open the boxes and see the baby) , 5 Harley Benton's , Eastcoast st1, donner dt100 tele style, jet js400, IYV custom shop tele, burning fire Glarry and a Yamaha F130 acoustic. also have an Epiphone slash AFD, Gretsch 5230T and a ltd edition Fender player series...and still i keep eyeing up other guitar brands 👀..jesus i think like you, i am addicted to watching guitar porn 🤣🤣

[@DrTomoculus]

It must have been a dream. I swear I saw a video where you got rid of a bunch of guitars. And you settle down, mate! ;)

[@S-T-E-V-E]

Coda Music get some lovely guitars in to be fair!

[@traviswaynedoyle]

Personally, I'd love to see the Kramer reviewed next. Cheers!

[@dsuperhawk]

"Butter knife" Oi you've got a loicense to have that ?

[@theguitaristas]

😆👍

[@markpell8979]

Hello again Colin. All the other commenters ran the gamut so I'll just say I enjoyed this start to my Friday, as usual, and thanks for a good time. Now I need to avoid guitar porn for the rest of the day and pay a couple monthly bills instead. All interesting guitars though for us cheap bastards and I'm looking forward to the reviews. Cheers from Dallas!

[@TimB335]

You are an outlet for my relentless GAS!!!! 😂 Thanks Colin! 👍

[@johnthoroughway4119]

Best part of Fridays

[@zorrosoulzeaquaxzabur1]

It's Guitaristas Day !!

[@S-T-E-V-E]

Who hasn't been slashed by one of those staples! They're vicious! 😂

[@markdoolan3424]

Thomann ones they are lethal blimey haha!

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Oh yeah I've got "staple scars". I finally started using pliers to pull those bad boys out before they get the chance to bite.

[@tjfulton181]

Need additional law to protect us. Maybe stickers, tags or labels warning that staples are sharp and may cause injury or led to infections if not treated. Yes I feel better already.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

@@tjfulton181 🤣

[@keithh8661]

I bet your gonna like that PRS, A lot more then you expect, have a great weekend😊

[@neilmartin7564]

Hey mate,,so glad you made this video so i can show my wife,,,I told her no new guitars this year,,,Febuary 8th and ive bought 3🤣🤣just to show her how it could have been this video is handy.😆

[@onlyguitars]

YEEES! DGT!!! I'm sure you will like it! I love mine. Love the looks of the Goldtop with the moon inlays, I agree. Haha...the SE really are very good.

[@clockwork914]

The blue Tele & the DGT.

[@zorrosoulzeaquaxzabur1]

Its Guitaristas Day !!

[@jeremyharris4039]

Glad you’re back this week Col. I cannot wait to hear your review of the DGT. So much hype. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts as someone else who can’t get excited about PRS.

[@Mr4Strings]

You are an absolute treasure. What a pleasure watching your channel. You look like a little kid on Christmas morning!!! Ya goota use needle-nosed pliers to yank out those nasty stables

[@darafitzsmokie]

Butter knife of joy. Love it lol😂

[@jshphysicistatyahoo]

I'm thrilled to see you back Colin!

[@Furtheronmusic]

You'll hate the Floyd rose trust me 😂😂

[@telestratblues]

Could you, if you hadn't reviewed an Epiphone ES-335. Thanks Colin.

[@Corstorphinelad]

Hi Col, how are yo mate! Interesting bunch that six. Like you, I have a weird unease with "pointy headstocks" so was really scared about the PRS unboxing, then, when only the headstock was showing,, it looked reassuringly like an SG at first ..???😂😂😂 ,,then... some alien form was born😮 😮😮, anyways, like you Im interested in your review on that one. Moreover,,its Friday and Col is back, so all is well again 😊😊 cheers Col!

[@roberts6053]

The PRS SE that you already had, the PX single-cut sunburst, reminds me of when I was a teenager back in the late 70s and bought an Aria Pro II. It looks almost identical. It was one of those guitars that was so much better than anything I ever had before, but had absolutely no character. It was like going out with a stunning girl to find she had no conversation and nothing going on in her head. Like you, PRS leaves me cold, but it might be interesting. Bonners in Eastbourne should be ashamed - not a good look. The blue sparkle T-style HB looks amazingly pretty - the prettiest by far.

[@TheSoundofForgetting]

What I love about you/this channel.. it’s simple yet fair .. honest reviews and to the point. 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻 Keep rocking

[@alexbaxter8291]

Gotta disagree with you here Colin, that Kramer Pacer is about as attractive as the AMC Pacer, the monstrosity of a car design built in the 70's. Eeesh. I've got my thick skin coat on today, so looking forward to plenty of hate. 😁

[@EvolutionaryEnergyArts]

Personally I think PRS has some of the most beautiful finishes out there. That said, there seems to be an emotional disconnect with PRS for many people even though they tend to be a consistent quality instrument.

[@Darth.Shredder]

This is the only channel where I'll watch a 30+ min video of guitars I have zero interest in. :) Strike that, I am looking forward to a deep dive into the Maybach SG. I share your opinions on PRS, but from a different perspective... in the late '80's early 90's before there was an SE line and before they referred to their US made guitars as "core", I had a stable of them. Ten tops, Artist tops, the cream of the crop. I was fed up with Norlin era Gibsons and was never a big Fender guy, so after my 80's super strat addiction started to wane I was hungry for something new, so when PRS came along I was in heaven... until I wasn't. Over time I realized I was more infatuated with their looks than the way they played and sounded. Once Gibson started getting their act together again in the late 80's and I dabbled again, I knew my PRS were just missing something. By the mid 90's I sold every one of them and never looked back.

[@explorervango880]

The HB and Antiquity look the best visually of the Tele clones. I’ve wanted a Maybach for a long time, but I’d have to mail order them from Europe while the local shop sells Gibson and Fender…there have been a lot there to check out.

[@jaypeterson7637]

Please review the Thomann T-style. Any other guitar really...except the PRS! I tried owning a PRS...it didn't go well....😒

[@beachjn86]

Glad to finally see a PRS. If you like it I’d love to see what you think of the McCarty se compared to a les Paul.

[@MalisaDonnelly]

The McCarthy does very well (usually wins) in comparison with similar priced models

[@thebenefactor6744]

"And the good thing about selling loads of guitars, is that you can buy loads more." - Book of Colin, chapter 3, verse 2. I love it when Colin reads from the Old Testament. Preach, brother.

[@theguitaristas]

😆🙏

[@Jamler3]

Your PRS derangement is funny… too pointy? 😂 you’re gonna really fancy playing that! Guarantee 🎸

[@carlosdeno]

Brilliant Colin! Looking forward to the future reviews and I also don’t like PRS guitars. I remember when they first came on the scene, just don’t like anything about them. With respect I don’t hate them, too big a word and a waste of energy. Dislike is much better. Enjoy your weekend mate, as always. 🤘❤️🇬🇧

[@2112pjm]

Good luck with your first Floyd Rose. I still have nightmares about mine. 😂😂😂😂

[@rockinrob2004]

Changing strings is a NIGHTMARE! ;p

[@j.jester7821]

179 pounds!!!! that is a heavy telecaster. har har har.

[@tomspafford5368]

The color of the Harley Benton T-style guitar sure looks like Fender's Lake Placid blue. Its gorgeous!

[@bighes100]

Probably my fave colour, it's lush

[@albert2395]

Colin, your talking about knobs again! I was trying to break my knob fixation!😂😂😂

[@powell.christopher]

I'm all in for the t-style reviews especially. Excited!

[@juliegrafton93]

PRS pointy? What about your SGs? Way pointy

[@PipeCat1965]

My own box-opening knife is "the Razoo". It is ceremonial now. Making this comment before viewing the bulk of the video. Now that this is out o' me system, will watch hard.

[@grungebob]

Would love to see you look at one of the new shergold Telstar’s. Seems a decent thing for £350 ish.

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

I’m with you on the PRS wagon, not the guitar for me. I’ve tried with a tremonti model had to trade it for a Gibson LP, and again I tried with a Santana model, I actually still have that one but might not keep it. On the fence with it. But ya I’m not a fan of PRS guitars. Nice haul of axes. I really enjoyed it. 🎸🤓👍🙏🌎☮️🥓

[@kevinfitzpatrick9537]

Greetings and Happy Friday! Just purchased a Robert Cray strat, have you ever reviewed one of these?

[@RavenMadd9]

New guitar ?..let the guitar- aholics meeting begin .....your awesome.....6 holy moly

[@S-T-E-V-E]

The Antiquity TL-1 made of solid Brown! 😂

[@markpell8979]

And not just brown, Steve, but wooden as well. Looks good though, right?

[@birdman316]

nt models...its like christmastime at the guitaristas yay yaaa!!! i can see another budget tele shootout coming soon! however id love to see the SG model reviewed 1st haha! you got me into the SG models and now i have 4 various models... you mentioned the SG model is an albatross model? i think it would be great to play albatross on it in honor of the late great peter green... recently i got a chibson LP in ice tea/honeyburst....popped in some vanson59 "chromiebuckers" to possibly resemble peters LP back when it was newer...even wired the neck pup backwards plus "staggered" the pupheights as well...pretty convincing id say lol! and on the cheap too! even with the vansons(UK guitar company)this was still under 300USD!

[@damianrjames]

no offence, but those guitars look cheap, poorly produced and awful.. talk about rampant consumerism, creating a need for junk, and the resulting climate crisis, well this is a good example..

[@theguitaristas]

Well most of them were cheap so that's probably why they look it... and I bought them specifically to review them and see what they are like so I can't help wondering if you may have missed the point?

[@damianrjames]

quite possibly, who knows or even cares 😊 @@theguitaristas

[@irgnj180]

Friday is the best day of the week, a new Guitaristas video! Thanks Colin for all the effort you put in making all these wonderfull films.

[@jimsmith4611]

Yer mad....!!Either that or you just love new stuff....!!

[@michaelcorneliussr2169]

You need a pair of scissors my friend 😂

[@SubutaiTuul]

Finally a Maybach. Lookin forward to the review. So my vote is on the Maybach

[@stevegroves]

Wow! Some very interesting guitars there mate! Great vid, yep everyone loves an unboxing! Just shows how damn lucky us addicts are these days, so much choice out there for all budgets. Really looking forward to seeing the full reviews Colin, trouble is now I am going to find myself net surfing at cheap new guitars! :)

[@lamppostwillie]

Nice PuRSe, Colin! Haha. I'm with you, brother.

[@j.jester7821]

I bet the pain of selling all those guitars is somewhat eased today.

[@theguitaristas]

I do feel a little bit better as it happens! 🤣👍

[@QuantumGamingUploads]

It's Friday and let the fun begin with tons of guitars to unbox. Really exited about those T-Style guitars. The PRS looks very nice and so does the Kramer. I can see tons of content coming with reviews and modding them perhaps.

[@peterhall4852]

I bought a Fazley solid top acoustic for 70 Euros (B stock- The box was damaged). Neck is fine and it stays in tune. I just added new bridge pins. Perfect for sofa noodling and grandson proof.

[@che2335]

Try an Aria Pro2 Jet1 or Jet2 w p90s. Beautiful small c neck w nice med frets and a 9.5 radius. The kicker is the 24.75" scale length w a strat type trem that has a chance of staying in tune vs the Fender short scale Mustangs jags n jazzmasters. Ive put Planet Waves lockers and a Wilkinson Gotoh VSVG vintage trem w bent steel saddles that lock down! OMG for $400 all in its my fav now laying down clean loops w neck single then going to bridge bucker for leads. And its so slinky w 09-42 strings on the short 24.75 Gibson scale! Blues bends all day w small frets for chording comfort.

[@bighes100]

Budget guitars have become a LOT better for sure. Finish, set up & playability are usually very surprising for the money, can't wait to see what they're like.

[@2112pjm]

I’m glad you have moved my old PRS on. I didn’t really fancy you pulling it apart on tv. The pickups are IronGear by the way. P.S. don’t forget to give Joy her butter knife back 😂

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers Phil! 😁👍

[@russcottee]

Nice video Colin. Like you, I was disappointed when PMT Southend closed a couple of years ago, albeit I always thought that the Romford branch was the original, so I learnt something today! 😄 For the 1st review, I'd vote for the PRS; solely because (as an archtop player) they have zero appeal to me, so I'm interested to know what you think of them. Cheers!

[@dane6k6]

Many channels do unboxing but none match your enthusiasm. Watching you excitedly open each box makes my wallet want to jump out of my jacket pocket and go shopping. Hey I have a marketing idea for you, how about an engraved "Guitaristas" engraved butter knife? Cheers Mate!

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

The HB TE62 you bought are now £135. PMT have a black Antiquity TL for £99, which might be a fairer competitor for the HB, especially since you got a £99 Eastcoast and a £90 Fazely. I totally agree with you on the PRS range - the bling is sick-making (admittedly, I’m a similar age to you) I went for an S2 Studio which is plain top and birdless too. The Gold DGT is the only current SE I’m interested in.

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

4:40 HB is quite straightforward in their model names (so here I already knew what was in the box: TE = T-type, 62 = 1962 specs, LPB = Lake Placid Blue. I had no clue about the DB, but I guess that stands for Double Binding. They only went wrong abbreviating their single cut color Paradise Amber Flame PAF, for that makes connoisseurs' hearts beat faster for other reasons.

[@jeffwyatt7199]

Great unboxings Colin. I live in Canada and a few of those would be pricey here with the shipping as there are no dealers for them here. Cant wait for the reviews!! 2 more you may want to look at as they are very affordable here, are a Revelation RJT - 60 MTL.. Its a thin line jaguar style. Fabulous.... and Schecter PT special.. both under 600 Canadian dollars. Cheers.

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

Same in Australia mate..we get stiffed for prices too... which is stupid when a lot of these guitars from the Cortek factory a cpl hundred miles off our shore!!

[@eertje01]

Looking forward to the cheap tele shootout! I owned a fazley outlaw jazzmaster in the exact colour you bought the tele. Its awful looking isn't it 😂. I spray painted it black, added a jazzmaster trem and sold it on. With that money I bought the HB TE-62 in shell pink. What a great guitar that is. Don't know how ze germans do it! Oh and bax music is based in the Netherlands. In (old) Zealand actually 😅

[@garyhundsrucker7771]

The wacky Germans!?? You Brit’s invented wacky with Monty Python and Nigel Tufnel not to mention Benny Hill and Austin Powers!🤓🫶🏼The Beatles did a great job of preparing us for more great wackiness to come!

[@kenthhamner2641]

That DGT SE is PRS SEs guitar of the year followed by the 594. I’ve got the 594 double cut but really wanted the DGT (sold out too quick here). Dave Grissom played his two SEs along side his USA DGTs on 5 Watt World and the tone was soooo close! I hope you like it!

[@clintchambers7156]

I bought a PRS SE Standard 24-08 last year. It has a different neck profile than the DGT you have here but I can’t seem to find another guitar that fits my hand better🤷🏻‍♂️. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on the DGT. Have fun!!!!

[@geoffreyalder7275]

Telecaster is Lake placid blue..I bought one, and I thought the box it came in was going to be empty (like you did )......weight 6 lb...lightest guitar I have...

[@kevinnsevinn799]

Girlfriend: whatcha doing ? Me: watching this British guy unbox a bunch of guitars on KZbin Her: well I just watched a video on a girl unboxing a bunch of different quartz crystals…so yea😂😂😂

[@martinhenderson2376]

Hi Colin I bought my 1st Harley Benton last month A Te-62 DB in Lake Placid Blue,same as your box number 1,they are good guitar for price,mine had a few issues but needed a bit of filing ,neck pickup great,but bridge one sounded rough,I wasn't gonna invest a lot in a guitar that you couldn't sell on without making a loss,so put a cheap pickup at bridge,a compensated brass brudge& some basi lock tuners as the stock ones were very stiff,bingo a decent little guitar for under 200 euro looking forward to your review Colin,thanks again for all the videos

[@northernthrifter8817]

I have that Harley Benton Tele the abbreviations are.... Vintage series 1962 double bound lake placid blue telecaster, basically it's a vintage deluxe Tele, I love mine, I hope yours is as good as mine Colin, I put some brass Wilkinson compensated bridge saddles on mine other than that it's stock and it's better than the squire affinity I had, looking forward to your review of it.

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Dude, you got an issue ‼️😂🤣 I can help you....if you have a Fender American professional 2 telecaster or Ibanez prestige AZS, I be happy to help you ‼️ Beginner guitars might have improved but to me they suck ‼️
