This is why we love Colin......he is such an enabler. Buy, sell, buy, sell, Colin you are the man!!!!!!
This is now my favorite guitar channel. Honest, genuine,humble, informative, and funny.
Simply marvelous.
That collection is one to admire and aspire to.
Beautiful, simply the best guitar channel for me. So enjoyable, full of warm and honest reviews. Big greetings and respect 🤘🎸
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.
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.
Fresh brew in hand..pack of biscuits... Its that Friday time feeling
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. 🎸🤓👍
I'm a simple man. Colin posts, I watch, I click 'Like'!
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!
Nothing like starting my days off with a new video from The Guitaristas! Absolutely love this channel.
Great ending to this set of videos, looking forward to seeing the new guitars you buy with the funds raised, great stuff Colin 👍🎸😆
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
Colin you have a awesome show!! Take your time we are not going anywhere!
I love how that green Squier looks. I feel like that's worth keeping onto, that colour is so unique.
This has been a great series of 4 videos - genuinely looked forward to the next episode on Fridays each week - enjoy the week off
Inspiring... thank you!
I’m truly grateful for this channel.
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!
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 😃
Thanks Colin, yet another great video
Really enjoyed this great series!
Great collection, great series thanks for all 😊 ❤ 😊
Really enjoyed this series Colin, cheers !
thanks for sharing man. cant wait to see the new toys. enjoy break.
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!
It’s true!… I was I two minds until Ash here reached out and made his pitch that tipped the balance. No doubt in my mind it’s gone to a great home and will be played in anger… Joe would be proud!! 😁🎸👍 🧷 Cheers Ash!!
Whew! Just reviewing your collection took some doing. It was interesting to see. Thanks for the videos.
Morning/afternoon all😊
Very Cool, Thankyou. Such an Awesome Collection, hate to see it broken up, But Great decisions made. All the Best. Cheers
Thank you Sir once again for an enjoyable video. Cheers
good luck mt with the sales, and loved the vid.
cheers col have a great few days leave m.
24:53 -- an absolute piece of art.
Enjoyed your series of guitars you have currently, take care and take a break!
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.
Great finish to a well told story. This collection series was very fulfilling... like reading a good book. People outside our community must think we're all loonies, but inside we're all in a comfortable place that makes perfect sense. :)
I agree - a lot of the joy is the thrill of the hunt
Thanks Colin. Have a great weekend brother !
Thanks, you too! 😁👍
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 .
Cheers Col. Everyone deserves a break. If the well ain't full no one can drink.
What a fantastic video Colin have a good weekend also I like the Gibson sg as well to be honest a favorite 😊❤
Discovered your channel, Colin, about 10 days ago and binging has been a pleasure. Love the long form, genuine, honest, knowledgeable, relatable, BS free approach. Keep it going. I'm off to watch more from the archives after this - with nibbles and a beverage, of course!
Cheers man glad you found us! 😁👍
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. 😊
Theyre great guitars mate.. youll enjoy em!
Great views on moving some instruments around. I am going to take your advice and move some on.
A very important reason that keeps me coming back for more, is the fact that like the rest of us that have/had a guitar collection, knowing those guitars well (NOT just reviewing and sending back like other sites) and sharing the good, bad and ugly, helps us, your supporters, decide on future acquisitions.
BRAVO...!😎👍👍
New acquisitions of yours, Colin, gives us knowledge, entertainment and groovy licks, just to name of few of the highlights.
It IS hard to see a collection go...I know.
However the future contenders for collection status is...well "F"ing cool😁👍
Amazing that you do all this and share with....US👍👍
BRAVO 😎👍
SPAIN...???
Madiera.. ???😃👍👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
Love Brother
Thanks man, I hope I'm finding my groove here now and of course looking forward to sharing some of the new 'for me' purchases (there are now 2 🤣) as well as some stuff we can poke around and take apart. 😁👍🎸👌
@@theguitaristas
😎👍
Glad/not surprised you're keeping the Eastmans😁👍👍
I mean...really great guitars😎👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
Love Brother
I’ve been watching your channel for a few months and this is my first comment…
I really really enjoy your personality, the way you convey your thoughts, your accent (I’m a Kiwi) and your wonderful sense of humour, your honesty is appreciated also.
Thanks Col, keep doin what you’re doing, you’re loved and cherished by many old muzos like myself!
Cheers man thanks for the support! 😁👍
There is no one on the internet who can express the love of guitar better than Colin.
I love that Vintage SG special. When it comes to PRS, I'm a birds guy. Thanks for the video. I love your channel.
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 😅)
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.
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.
Why not! 😆👍
best channel!!
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!
Good decision on the Stratosonic. The mods I did on mine with Gibson P-90s and a black TP adjustable bridge make it a killer and still very affordable guitar. Can't wait to see what you acquire in the coming year.
An excellent productive cull video 😄
I'm a little late to the party, work got in the way today. I have gotten rid of 3 guitars but I didn't sell them I gave them away to friends of mine that were interested in learning to play. They weren't very expensive 200 dollars or so but good players. After doing that I have found myself in the early hours looking for guitars. I want a green one not sure what model but green for sure. It's a good place to start.. love the videos, cheers
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.
Brill as always Col, now "Open the Box" mate, we are gagging 😂
Keepin' it real!
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
Late to the party, sorry Colin. I love the Tokai absolutely beautiful and for me a keeper, along with the Gibson Std. The Vintage SG is cool as 10 too, great video mate as always. 🤘
Loved this episode Colin! So glad you're keeping the Squier Stratosonic (its because of your video that I bought one and well I did love the concept of a Strat with P-90s too) and the Squier CV Tele in olive drab to name a few. The 70s SG that's been modded is kind of cool too. Would love to hear that one! In the end It's really hard to let certain ones go for sure but like you've said you can buy other ones now. I do hope you do a comparison of the Epiphone TV Yellow Les Paul Special and SG Special now that would be cool!
So curious as to what you just bought you devil! Anyways thanka again for the wonderful vid and keep up the great work 👍
You said fight me for it about that Eastman. I've got my boxing gloves!
Great series all around. Enjoyed every minute. Cheers.
Glad you’re holding on to the squire telecaster👍
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 keep saying I will... maybe used is the way to go this year and lose a bit less when I flip them 👍
I still like that red Stratosonic. Great series. Can’t wait to see the upcoming GAS attack. Cheers..
Eastman DC SB 59/v, squire fsr Tele. I bought on the strength of your reviews.
Keep up the good work.
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.
Hi Collin,
Glad you have kept the SB59/v and the Squier Custom Telecaster in Olive green. I have the same guitars and this has confirmed my decision to keep them. I love the SB59/v, wouldn’t change anything on it, the tone and feel is amazing. You mention you might upgrade the pickups on the Tele, I changed the saddles on mine to brass, the tuning machines to Fender vintage ones and the pickups to Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders, sounds amazing.
Now just got a Gretsch G5230t in black like the one you reviewed a while ago.
Keep up the good work and look forward to your future purchases, if I get any more my wife will kill me!
Jason
Damn fine collection Colin! I was drooling like Homer Simpson over donuts with sprinkles.
Taking time off, yes it's important and rest assured we'll always be here to watch after your break.
Cheers man, have a great weekend... I am hoping for a tiny glimmer of clear blue sky for you know what 🏍
@@theguitaristas Thanks Col! Same for you! It’s good for our mental health. 👍
It's cool that so many sold so fast. Good luck selling off the rest! You may want to get a different stand, or toss a cloth over the existing stand at all of the contact points. Enjoy your break!
At this rate I'll be selling off half my stands! 😂
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.
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.
Nibbles and coffee ready.
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.
I have that LP special Epiphone, diaper mustard yellow, and yes it looks better on camera than in one’s hands.
Beautiful guitars and love your videos. Did you list that beautiful white epiphone custom les paul????
P,s I saw the Gibson TV episode with Rudy a week or 2 ago .His passion really did shine thru as you say ,brilliant.
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.
Really dig southend music exchange very friendly shop
It's friday again! Time for some hot choccy milk and a guitaristas upload
I've got one of those Crafter acoustic guitars. Sounds very good buy the action is very high at the top end of the fingerboard. Low at the nut end. Good strumming guitar.
Another great episode. Best guitar channel on YT.
Can you do a review of the Sire Larry Carlton H7?
I keep promising...
great film brother!
ya its hard deciding on what stays and goes...
i was lucky to get my harley benton "SG" daphney blue model because i looked recently on the USA section of reverb at harley bentons just to have a look and they have vanished!
not sure whats going on there....
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.
You made a old geordie happy with the deal on that old zenta Colin..the amount of comments I have already had on it from friends and family..cheers .
It was a pleasure and really nice to see it go and be appreciated... I just hope they were kind comments! 🤣🍺
@theguitaristas mostly comments about who's older me or guitar ..think it's me but not letting on 👍
@@biffabacon1203 🤣👍
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. 🔥🤘
😆👍
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.
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!
I’m looking at that… waiting for a good price!
@@theguitaristas awesome! that will be a great review to watch!
@@onlyguitars 😉👍
Great start to 2024 with your channel, don’t sell the Standard LP, that guitar sounds awesome! I know it’s not your go to guitar but dang that one sounds and looks amazing!
Damn, that's a lot of guitars.
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….
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!
@@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.
I've been a little hard on you, especially on the last video (Part 3), about your love (preference?) for P90 equipped guitars. Of my 20-odd guitars, all but 4 are twin-humbucker type guitars, so I need to trim the collection just as drastically as you have done - if not more so. I completely understand about your dilemma, not wanting to let go.
About getting frazzled and over-worked, just take 1 out of every 4 weeks off, or 1 out of every 8 weeks - but, make it a firm rule, for the good of your own health, both physical and mental. We'll be here, us fellow nerds/nutcases, looking forward to your next outpouring of eccentricity and honesty. More power to you, Col!!
Cheers man! 😎👍
Colin is my 'Inside Out' character.
If I had the cash I had this time last year I would of loved to of bought one of your guitars, I know it would be a great standard and given that kind of care and attention that you want when spending money on a guitar.
You make me feel okay with my G.A.S. I lust daily for many, many guitars to add to the herd.
Pity about the Stratosonic, I quite fancied that. Don't blame you for keeping it Col.
You've got to keep the Gibson les paul. Right or wrong that's what everything else is measured against. You may get something in to compare it with. Love what you do. Cheers
Wise decision, Collin, I told you about the Strummer Tele. Keep all what you can get about The Clash !!!
Ooh was that a bit of Debris on the Tokai? Love the Faces
I bought two gibson style guitars, a Les Paul style and a 335 style guitar. Both are very nice. However, after years of playing telecasters and stratocasters and Jazzmasters, I still don't feel comfortable playing gibson style guitars. I'm going to sell mine and just stick with my Fenders. We all have our tastes when it comes to guitars--right? That Squire telecaster is sweet! Love the green color
