The Complete Collection 2024 (Part 3) - Sellers Remorse and Second Thoughts? 🤔

[@theguitaristas]

Follow the listings on my Reverb Shop: tidd.ly/3RIRwNs

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

Afterthought...you're such a lovable chap; everyday good people who like sharing their experiences. We all benefit. Thanks;)

[@markosimonic]

I dont know why, but I just like looking at YT videos like this, where people show their guitar collections😊 And not selling the Tele Custom is the right thing!

[@PaulMihelic]

I always enjoy hearing you talk about and share the stories about each guitar. It is obvious that each had a meaning when you bought them. And, each has a story when you decide to keep or sell them.

[@Yannplaysguitar]

Thank god you did not sell the Telecaster Custom! I was part of the bunch telling you not to sell although I am all for selling unplayed guitars. This one would have been a big regret. Glad it stays with you! And it sounded killer

[@joeymcmanus448]

It's absolutely amazing how much stuff we aquire just living life day after day, and even more amazing the feelings and memories we have tied up in those things. Your face lit up when talking about jamming live and rehearsals, made me think of how much fun I had playing live.. thanks see you next Friday cheers

[@patrickhernandez9529]

I've cycled through a lot of guitars. The more my collection grew, the more anxious and unhappy I was. I'm not a pro musician by any stretch so I decided to cull my guitars from 15 down to 5. I am now at peace. I have 5 guitars that play well and have sentimental value to me (even if their $ value isn't that high).

[@bencarpenter3785]

5 beers later after building all day!!I'm on the 3rd installment of these epic episodes 🇦🇺🍻👍👍....Love the content mate

[@carlosdeno]

Holy smokes Colin with respect I didn’t know your collection was so large. I love Stinky, absolutely beautiful and definitely a keeper. Great video as always mate and I can’t see many SG’s leaving the building 😂🤘💜

[@Poppy-tw1ve]

Good sir you have got to be the guitar whisperer! After each episode it always feels like each guitar got to say it’s peace through you. And no matter the guitar, you always come up with the perfect music that suites each one. This is the best channel on KZbin by far. It gives me great joy each week to learn about these wonders of music. I am more a hobbyist at this point than a player but hope to change that soon. At 48 I’m a bit of a late bloomer in learning guitar but gonna give Fender play a try and see if that helps get me over the hump. Anyway cheers to you and thank you for sharing your wisdom and great personality and love of guitars!

[@ukdadgamer6033]

Really enjoying this series, looking forward to Part 4 - then make it an annual series thereafter 👍🏻

[@kjhellfire]

Going through a similar process in thinning down my own collection and watching these videos every week has been pretty cathartic. Cheers!

[@zxxvcc]

Back in the nineties I bought a squier strat and an acoustic and noodled a bit before giving up learning, but recently got back into it. Already bought two guitars, so I understand the compulsion.

[@davidp7833]

Deju vu. Home from work and ready to watch. I've enjoyed this small series a good bit. However, whenever i watch, i always start thinking about that eastman les Paul. I think that is my favorite.

[@Charlies247]

Love the Epiphone reissue coronet, it’s a Stunner!

[@BonkeyMucket]

The first guitar I bought when I was 16 was a used Les Paul Jr. double cutaway with a Gibson case for $175. It looked like that Eastman you have. That Eastman sounds way better than mine did.

[@cantfindamerica877]

I gotta get off my lazy backside and list some. I just don’t play over half of what I own. Thanks for the heads up on the used market. Good to know information Cole, Rock-Out

[@riv-music-7]

Another great episode…I really love the P90 guitars…could you do an episode on your band? I‘d be really curious what kind of music you made and what you think about playing live and the music industry today…

[@SmallHeathen]

I'm back into playing after a 25+ year gap similar to yourself. I picked up a second hand 2017 Squier Bullet Mustang, made in Indonesia a couple of years ago to get me started again. I've lavished some cash on a Gretsch Electromatic since, but I agree with you that the Mustang is a great little guitar. If it helps your 'research', mine has the belly cut and the elbow cut. Thanks for the channel, I'm never likely to ascend to your skill level, but it's good to be playing again. Cheers.

[@AnthonyTyson-ym5gs]

Aloha from Snowden N Buckingham. Nice Vidz Mate Ya'll tell me how folks like Chris Knight and Slaid Cleaves are 60 years old,and have played One Gibson acoustic 4 a lifetyme . Slaid's Gibson was his Dad's ! Keep on pickin' Cowkidz

[@nigellacey559]

Friday wouldnt be the same without this channel

[@QuantumGamingUploads]

Always tough to let the older guitars go. Looking at the positive side of it you tried them and got evidence of how they sound. Some things must go for the new stuff to arrive.

[@TexaTim]

Thanks again for the great vids. I wish I could buy them all. One for every day of the month. Thanks again for the laughs and info on upgrades!

[@pete11956]

I'm so glad your not selling the fender telecaster custom,I bought the reissue 2020 fender AO in antique blonde and its a wonderful guitar as you say a keeper,anyway your other half bought you yours,you would never forgive yourself, love your videos can't wait for next week's, cheers Colin.

[@williamarthurfenton1496]

I'll say it again, I have the Epiphone SG with p90s and it sounds like a beast. It's too light in weight for me, but that wonderful snarling tone just wins it a place in my collection

[@EyecareBacklog1]

Whether you're selling or not, it's great to see the collection Col. Thanks for sharing.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

My heart broke seeing the Loic LaPape’s space empty at the end. But I understand your decision. I’ve sold bikes with the same thinking, let someone else ride and love them. Great playing as usual Colin! 🎸

[@angusmackay7281]

Have wanted one of those Eastman DC Jnrs for ages. A lovely thing,.

[@rockinrob2004]

Yup number 3, I'm with you on your journey. Which many of your fans are too. I believe WE all feel your sensitivity on this subject, as it's NOT an easy topic for us lovers of the instrument. You're doing better than I, as I've already pulled down many I posted on eBay either because of low ball offers or that second thought of not being able to replace them. I'm through my drink & nibbles for now, I'll be on to part 4 soon. Cheers from USA!

[@jonnybeck6723]

"It's your thing, Do whatcha wanna do, I can't tell ya, who ta sell it to..."

[@motorcyclemark2889]

I commented last video i said don't sell that gem the 78 ha I'm glad you kept it that's a keeper for sure and its from your girl can't sell it

[@truthtorpedo99]

That Epiphone Olympic looks and sounds cool asf!

[@GROCK619]

Hello.. happy Friday..I now to have a dilemma I sold my new Stratocaster and went all in on my first ever Les Paul standard 60s Unburst... pickgaurd on or off ..??..LOL...I chose to have it OFF ..AAA top looks great now.. Cheers Colin !!!

[@theguitaristas]

Off! 🤣👍

[@GROCK619]

Yes !!!!!

[@thebenefactor6744]

Jeez, it gets tougher with every episode. And it looks as though those Eastmans throw a wrench in the works, making it tougher by sounding so good with those Lollars in 'em. "Ears be my guide" is my watchword, Colin. Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Via con Dios, Colin.

[@corneliuscrewe677]

With you 100% on that Pelham Blue Epiphone SG Special, Colin, I absolutely adore mine. Easily my favorite newer purchase by a country mile, and ranks right up there with my favorite personal guitars of all time. Has the same growl my ‘55 Les Paul Junior has. Love love love it.

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

That Custom shop R8 was the nicest guitar you have had on this show! I would not have sold it but thats me. I have a 2018 True historic R9 i will never part with!

[@LGuitarB]

I don't remember exactly, but that Mustang model may have been the first electric guitar I ever played, halfway the 1970s, a friend of mine having borrowed it from a friend. I suddenly recognise the two pickup switches.

[@geordiejohn3703]

You have sold so many so quickly because people know you are passionate, honest, trustworthy and a stand up guy! I wouldn’t hesitate to buy off you if the right one came up 🎸😊, and I had the spare spondooly, 😢 which isn’t this week sorry to say mate.

[@johngibson911]

Another great insight Colin - thanks for baring your soul for us all to see. I especially appreciate the final thoughts on the process and it’s something we can all relate to. It takes a huge effort for me to even consider letting any of my own collection go so I very rarely part with any of them and just accumulate more. I have to say my wife is very understanding and is doing exactly the same thing with her extensive collection of designer shoes and handbags, so that helps. Can’t wait to see the new arrivals.

[@bebop425]

Glad you kept the Tele from the Mrs. I was surprised to hear you might sell it last video.

[@dananthony6258]

I had to put my tele up for sale on reverb just because it’s sitting around since 2017. I just don’t play it and already have another just like it. It still feels wrong . I think you just have to think about what will replace it . Funny because I’ve been tempted to play it now. Funny how your mind works.

[@El-Scorcho]

Colin I’d love to see you review a D’Angelico Brighton Deluxe or Premier if you get back to reviewing guitars again! Also one of those cool new color SGs like the teal one or tv yellow!

[@paulwhickerthetallvicar]

I have sold a few guitars through reverb, occasionally having a cull, mainly so I can buy more guitars, but the problem I have is if I dont sell it relatively quickly I go back to it start playing it again and then realise why I bought it and take it off sale! I think I have done that more times than sold guitars!

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

That’s impressive 12 out of 16. I can’t even sell one much less 12. Nice going, I would be a freak doing that.

[@geraldhills41]

I own a gibson sg standard and a les paul special 2015 dc and still can't make my mind up . With that many guitars it must be mind boggling !

[@MarkK83]

Another excellent episode. Really enjoying getting to see the collection and hearing your thoughts. Quality playing out too!

[@mwpv11]

Great video. Watching you agonize over selling your guitars reminds me of me! I can feel your pain. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

[@peterkerr9822]

12.42 love that Eastman ❤️🎸

[@victorbeebe8372]

Aloha Colin! Thanks for sharing.

[@bencarpenter3785]

My wanting guitar for about 12 yrs later are the USA Peavey T series from 1978/84 ish🙏🍀

[@snowglobe74]

Been eagerly waiting for this one, hence first in the comments! Not enough going for sale on Reverb though!

[@mortonwilson795]

Great series, you're hanging onto the stuff that must be hung onto! Aaaaah, those Eastmans. Need to be careful with my money right now so haven't been able to get back to Beijing for the 2 (or 3) I'm after . . . hopefully soon 😀 Look forward to Part 4!

[@garygee1468]

Bought an epiphone crestwood last year best guitar i have every had including gibson les pauls and fender strats

[@jeanpaulmare6468]

Tea and nibbles at the ready. Checked your sales page and they do go fast.

[@jeremymiller6933]

Hey Colin, It's always hard to sell the vintage ones. If you're in a position in which you don't have to sell them, then you have the luxury of being able to spend more time with them to solidify your decision to keep or sell them. -J

[@aminahmed2220]

What a great video have you enjoyed playing guitar have a good weekend Colin ❤😊

[@Grandad_mick]

Been enjoying the ‘cull’ vids Colin, tough place to be for sure

[@kengouthro]

Great guitars, great series, great playing. What more could anyone want?

[@martincartwright5461]

Friday night end of the week treat pizza chips beer and guitaristers.👍 Totally agree with you on the Eastman's and the SG's😂🤣

[@voyager7]

As others have said, these videos showcasing your collection are great! On the lowest-watched video of the Bigsby-to-Epi Goldtop, I must have completely missed that one! That explains at least 1 lost view lol!!! Will dig it up next!

[@birdman316]

well brother i didnt cheat this time...watched the whole film before looking on reverb lol! i have this wild looking single humbucker guitar that i got back from a good mate early last year...sadly he passed away this past wednsday... the guitar is staying with me for good now.... my chibson les paul rokked up today yayyyy! this one is getting those vanson 59 chromie humbuckers set up like "greeny" might have looked like as a new guitar....this one is a tad different in colour...ice tea burst looking....sweeet!!!

[@martinclayton7260]

I was hoping that you were going to sell the coronet, and I'd love your Firebird!

[@worthmoremusic]

Absolutely love the '65 Duo Sonic and the '63 Epiphone Olympic but know that if you sold them, I couldn't afford either.... sigh

[@Darth.Shredder]

Another great installment! You keep leaving us wanting more!! Loving those SG's!!!!! IMO, there is nothing better than an old, well played SG with honest playwear other than maybe an old Tele and you've got 'em both and then some! That being said I absolutely hate phony relic jobs on new guitars. Honest playwear doesn't remove a third or half a finish. Character and authenticity is earned over decades and countless hours of playing. Bravo!

[@paulcatarino2209]

Thanks Colin, watching this series makes me feel better (less guilty) about my own modest "collection", and a reason to justify...just one more. Looking forward to another LP style shoot out/comparison series. Have you ever reviewed/played the Maybach Lester 59? from what I've seen that might give the Eastman a run for the top spot.

[@motorcyclemark2889]

I bought a 60s Epiphone standard Les Paul after seeing your 50s standard comparison videos I had to buy a 50s in Heritage cherry sunburst and that 50s is my main guitar I just love it I sold the 60s to a friend

[@motorcyclemark2889]

My 50s only weighs 8 pounds 4 ounces and is a dream to play sounds amazing since I brought and changed the tail piece with an aluminum fabar

[@motorcyclemark2889]

I thought the 60s was fantastic it really was a sweet guitar . But the 50s was over a pound lighter and the neck felt even better than the 60s Epiphone is making awesome guitars now days

[@johnm3152]

Same basic wood as F.Z.'s. "Caledonia's mahogany elbows" - SG. Dig your videos, my faves - currently catching up

[@madnobby8301]

Hi Colin, these are really hard decisions, I would have also kept the both Eastman. Cheers Nobby

[@aliengrey6052]

Colin !!!!!!!!! you may think you have a problem. The parcel force man said “ it’s like Deja vu “ it’s ten in and four out” yes I had ten guitars in six weeks. Do I need em. No, do I want em ……. Absolutely. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!💯 percent.

[@theguitaristas]

😆👍👍

[@barryflanagan1]

Glad you are keeping the Eastman DC. I bought the SB59/v after seeing it on your channel and now I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of my SB55DC/v :-)

[@edwardsmith9801]

Always hard choices, with anything we collect. Shit when I was a kid. There were certain sticks I wouldn't part with, lmao!!! Showing my age. Great video as always Collin, keep on keepin on man...

[@johnnyhood4841]

Excellent my friend. Lookin forward to the next!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@alanjackman2296]

Fantastic as always loved the old rapier and I agree you are very lucky to have owned some great guitars

[@lloydfranks1357]

I watched it. I liked it so much I bought one from. Gibson with p-90's and Biggs! When it arrived I went over and over it looking for anything I could bitch about? Not one flaw on it! It sings like an Angel's My friend! Absolutely the most powerful Les Paul I have ever played!!! But as you know it did cost an arm and 2 legs!! I will be making payments a long time!! I should have went the Eppy route. Would have saved me a lot of money. But Gibson did me right. All my thanks! To the team at Gibson! It is worth every penny. Weighs A good ton!

[@slashtrio]

Man, this is fun to watch. I didn’t see the first two episodes! I won’t watch now because I didn’t want to know what I missed! Interestingly your voice reminds me of Steve Jones a bit (my first guitar idol) and then you played personality crisis by the dolls too. You’re too cool sir 😎

[@seanhenry4752]

I tried selling some guitars and was talking to a guy about an epiphone es 335 pro. He kept asking questions about the guitar by the end I couldn’t sell it. I told him it’s to hard to let go of these guitars.

[@stephenrich8808]

I think YOU need a drink and nibbles while going through the collection! After the first time through the collection, are you planning a session where you go through the "keepers" and decide if you REALLY are going to keep them, or let a few more go to others? The series has been really interesting.

[@jasoncolley4102]

Easy colin i loved the new york dolls riff you played, Thats how i got into lpjs and p99s

[@deanmccaskill5495]

Hey Colin. See you got Strummer up there on Reverb. I have that guitar myself and if anybody is on the fence…. Get it! It’s a great Tele. I personally changed the pickguard but other than that it’s one of my favourite Telecasters. Man I’d love to get that SG from you bro. We shall see how long it sits there. I’m going back to the oil fields next week. That’s when I start spending stupid money on gear. We may have to talk!

[@lewisd3125]

Les Pauls always look so good with a Bigsby in my opinion, just make it look complete.

[@Edward1312]

Some great guitars on show Col! I especially loved the look of the vintage ones!

[@BobPerrone]

Thanks Colin, really enjoyed this series and wasn't surprised you held into those SG models which I think are irreplaceable

[@LGuitarB]

I seem to remember that at one point you were trying to get to a format of shorter videos, but you didn't manage it. Which I like very much. I also like that you don't edit out the pauses between sentences to compress the overall time, because that's very tiring to listen to. I'm enjoying your video again with a beer after work, and there are not many things more relaxiing than this after a hectic week of work 🙂

[@alanjackman2296]

The one video of yours where I thought this is a man really into it was the mick Robson bowie one watch every Friday the best guitar channel on you tube

[@ac30lifestyle]

Del Shannon played an Epiphone Olympic for a little while so that one is my favourite that you showed today. I will have one ,one day.

[@johndaugherty4127]

1978. What a year!

[@daviddalziel884]

Great channel ! Like a good mate talking through guitars loved lost or otherwise! Could you do a list of what you’ve actually listed and have gone ? That reissue ( faded ) SG is nice and was chuffed when you played a bit of Willie The Pimp on one of the “ for sale “ videos . Not an SG fan cause of the neck scale length . Good luck with the sales and look forward to seeing what you swoop for next . 👍

[@SB-ht6kf]

mate would love to see you do something/teardown on Hagstrom. I recently got an Ultra Max Satin, and wow it beats the pants off my American LP. The fit and finish is flawless, neck, and sound are amazing. I've been skeptical of Chinese made instruments, which evidentially is completely short sighted. Now I'm eyeing one of their semi-hollows, which look amazing.

[@resurrectthewitch]

Those Squier Bullet/Sonic series guitars are great. Nice and affordable so I wouldn’t feel guilty about throwing it around at a gig. We are spoiled for great affordable guitars at the moment.

[@dananthony6258]

I wish there were more people like him in my life . Like give me a neighbor or drinking buddy. I don’t drink actually but I’d start if we were gonna talk guitar and jam all night.

[@theguitaristas]

😁🙏

[@badactor101]

I've got the bog standard Bullet, and would be glad to answer any questions. I paid $125 delivered, and another $25 to have a friend set it up for me in November, 2023.

[@whoshotjohn13]

Great NY Dolls!

[@jeffwyatt7199]

Im glad you decided not to sell that 78 tele Colin. Bad ju ju selling a gifted guitar... great series though and a great way to make room for more!!!

[@poodleguiderpeyes7388]

Looking forward to your next batch of guitars to review!

[@moschops999]

Checking your Reverb page, the guitars costing over a grand are lovely but are out of my price range so there’s no decision involved. I was quite smitten by the Stoner Les Paul and I did click on that listing a few times in the two or three days it was there with a little devil on my shoulder asking me if it would really be such a frivolous idea, but when it went it was probably for the best. But as I was going to bed last night I clicked on your page on the offchance and when I saw the Bullet Mustang with the phat cat pickups I thought ‘ooh, that’s really tempting, hmmm, go to bed and see if it’s still there in the morning’. Properly kicking myself now that I didn’t just click buy when I had the chance. 😂

[@MrBiggordy]

I know you said "It's my thing", about the P90-clad SG/Junior guitars, but how many of them will you play? Are these the guitars which will gather dust because you can't find the time to play them, despite enjoying playing them when you DO find the time? And yet. And yet, they all mean something to you, and it's difficult to allow them to go. Great video, as usual, Col, looking forward to the next one.

[@flaviodelladioband127]

The custom Tele Is a Beauty

[@Ntheguitar]

When I saw the Eastman DC come out I though naar he not going to sell that. Glad I was right, they are dfferent league. Great to see the p90 SG, lovely stuff!

[@jamesmgreen15]

One very solid place to buy from. Some smashing choices as well.

[@robertmellang6998]

I think you were inspired by the Eastman. I like that rocking stuff.👍🏻
