Most excellent my good sir……
I remember the Surbiton shop. Had a mail order catalogue and I fell in love with the Kay Red Devil. Later found out Clapton bought one when he was at Kingston Art School.
In recent years the Watkins guitars have inspired a new range of guitars, which are now branded as Rapier. The current Rapier 22, 33 and 44 models (2, 3 and 4 pickups respectively) look a lot like the original Watkins models, apart from the headstock, which has a more Fender like appearance. The electronics have been updated, but the pickups have been made to look just like those on the guitar seen here.
Love the Hagstrom Eight string bass sitting there !!! I have an H- B 1 and a Lead 2 to go with my flat top 12 string .
Great bass!
NICE out-of -phase pickup sound from the Watkins Rapier. Also I like those solid milled aluminum knobs on it too.
It sounds great doesn't it? played by Lars Mullen....
Great to see David St Hubbins behind the axe again at the end.
Yes for sure!
LOL!!!...8-)
Peter Lawson It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever.
Mike Roberti indeed. I tend to gravitate toward the latter...
Haha...great comment! But I'm sure you don't!!
Nice to see if not hear such an eclectic selection.
Thanks for your comment! But go to my TH-cam Guitar Files playlist and they are all played live!
I had a left handed Rapier in 1982 same colour it cost me £15, my mates always took the piss out of the shape of the headstock, they reckoned it was modeled on a sock.
Haha bet they aren't laughing now! Very collectable if you still have it!
Very cool. That Watkins sounded really good.
Thanks Lars Mullen is a great guitar player!
Not one broken headstock Gibson in the bunch..lol..some cool shapes and colors...really unique stuff...loved it
Thank you for your comment! Really appreciated! My Gibson Victory is safely in its case!!
Drummers are people that hang out with musicians........🎶🎙
Famous last words of a drummer.."hey guys, I wrote a song."
Lead guitarists... massive egos, keyboard players...failed Lead guitarist(usually found worshipping lead guitarist to bolster ego even more),bass player....another failed lead guitarist(usually on correct instrument). Drummer..... fucking legend.(put their to keep time and do regular ego checks on wanker guitarists).
Great comment!!
Well I nearly wrote one....HaHa
Best drummer I ever heard was in a metal box.
I'm sheepish about the dozen guitars I own. But then, I can play guitar. All the best regards to you 🙏
I've had so many guitars over the years. My favorites are the early Japanese and funky Italian builds. I had a Univox that was a copy of a Vox that was so cool. Curt Cobain played one exactly the same.
my first guitar was a tempo mustang copy...
Mosrite.
@@ThemissouriTraveler yes I stand corrected. Momentary lapse.
You obviously love weird and unusual guitars like I do including the early Japanese...Kurt Cobain played various different guitars--many bought from pawn shops, I understand. Take a look at my collection:- www.theguitarcollection.org.uk
There will be some you'll appreciate!
I so wish my 1st bass the Fenton Weill contrabass had a mentio.
I'm not surprised...very collectable now!!
Whoa! That guitar played nice. Great intonation!
Thanks PlanetRockJesus not bad for an old one!! More vintage guitars played live on my channel....look for Guitar Files.
[Host looks at a guitar which is clearly marked "WATKINS RAPIER"]
"Now this, I think, is a Watkins Rapier..."
Yes it is and this one dates from about 1965/6
@ Haha! Thanks for your comment! Quite right!!!
Just the English being polite, are you from the U.S.A by any chance?
@@angusseletto1511 No definitely from England! And polite too haha..
@@GuitarCollectionUK He's referring to Barnabys comment
I wish I could build a Privet electric Guitar museum
You can...most things are achievable if you want them badly enough....
I can't tell if the guitars are oddly shaped or it's just the video aspect ratio.
The guitars are oddly shaped!
Keeping up with 80 guitars is very impressive, Do you have any B Bender Guitars ?
Id love to know what the other guitars were
Lars Mullen
Think that guitar shop in Surrey was Bells.?🎸👍
Bells of Surbiton (Surrey)
TheGuitarCollection is it still there.?
@@charliebrown5524 Sadly no...
TheGuitarCollection thank you for letting me know 😥👍
GASSSS
Great comment!!
"So let's hand it over to, him."
Right, because we don't need to give "him" the most basic introduction or courtesy of a first name.
Lars Mullen!
@@GuitarCollectionUK Yeah but as was commented courtesy would require his name to be mentioned
Why no mention of the Fenton Weill? "I had a contrabass"!
I would have liked to talk about the Burns Weill Superstreamline bass but the Antiques Roadshow team didn't seem interested! Despite the fact that mine was owned by John Godfrey of the Mungo Jerry band!
I'd love to own a Contrabass....
@@GuitarCollectionUK I was still in contact with Len surtees who played bass in Mungo Jerry a few years ago.
@@michaelhiggs8657 That's interesting! But it was John Godfrey (RIP) who played bass with the band 1970-73 who owned this Burns Weill bass! are you in contact with Ray Dorset by any chance?
Robert plant 🌱 can shred!”
Yes he can for sure!
I thought I was the only out there who collected guitars but can't play a bloody note. I've got gretch's, Rickenbackers,Gibson's,fender's ,epiphones'. One day l give them to left handed kids ( left handed guitars) who can play but don't have the money. I'm completely tone deaf and as the man in the video says, do not have ability but like him, collect guitars that I wish I could play.
Thats two of us!
@@GuitarCollectionUK wow,really? You mean there's more of us out there? Maybe we should start a group all with absolutely no musical talent but some great guitars?🤣 Meanwhile , people like Paul Mccartney who can not only play as a lefty but can turn a right handed guitar upside down and play just as well. Bloody lunatic if you ask me..😊
Hang on, really? Is that you in that BBC episode? If it is you you're my hero indeed as my wife thinks I'm nuts collecting these guitars.
@@jamesdean8669 Well I have to confess that it is me! But i was younger then! If you check out my channel, there are more Guitar Collecting videos! But I'm a drummer!
Please tell your wife that people who collect paintings aren't always painters or people who collect gold aren't always goldsmiths! Well thats my excuse anyway!!
@@jamesdean8669 You aren't nuts! After all how many people who collect paintings are painters? Its no different, just the history of R n R told through the guitars and the way they developed over the years! Please explain to your wife!!
And I'd love to see pictures of your collection. Email me using the link www.theguitarcollection.org.uk

Thanks for your comment!
What! Only one drummer joke. I thought there'd be loads.
Haha I think I've heard most!!! But they're will be more surely......
"Rapier"....than what ??
You really shouldn't pick up a guitar like that it puts a lot of stress on the neck pick it up from the bottom of the neck
you are absolutely right Jeff Sadon--thanks for the reminder!
You Got to play longer than that come on!!
NO VALUE ESTIMATE? .... C'mon! .... we go ripped off!
Which guitar?
LOL stude1953
Japanese guitars during the '60s were horrible.
I think it was Sears and Roebuck that made the silver tone guitar which was amazing... Basically a Danelectro.
Yes and very collectable now!
Bullshit. The kappa was a great guitar.
Lennon stole his Dallas Tuxedo. God punished him later and someone stole his Gibson. lol
Some story like that I think?
stude1953 Sounds fishy to me, Lennon preferred Epiphone over Gibson.
@@boataxe4605 same company mate
The Missouri Traveler I’m well aware of that, if he had a Chevy stolen and somebody said that his Cadillac was stolen would that be accurate? After all, it’s the same company.
I think saying God punished him is a bit out of bloody order all things considered dude. Not funny 😡
To weird. But I guess ok.
That Rapier sounded like shit.
To be fair, I'd only just bought it on ebay and it needed restringing, setting up etc. I didn't realise beforehand that Alistair Dickinson would choose it to be played live that day.
But I do think that Lars Mullen did a good job on the day considering everything! And everyone applauded him too!
British guitars are like all things British.... Old fashioned and boring.
All comments appreciated....good or bad!
@@GuitarCollectionUK Well, which was mine? Good or bad?
Haha neither really but old guitars may be old fashioned and boring but they ARE the History of Rock n Roll! Cheers.
@@GuitarCollectionUK I didn't say "old guitars" are boring. I said "British guitars" are old fashioned and boring. Old American guitars are the best ever made.
@@timhallas4275 ?
I have a late 1976 Shergold Masquerader !
And far from boring it'll ever be.
These guitars are lousy shitbox knock-offs worth sweet fuck all!
And here we have some ugly ass guitars. My passion is god awful ugly ass guitars. And here they are outside . They still look ugly as hell
Mine too but mine are inside!
Sounds like shit tbh.
What a load of old awful rubbish throw-away guitars. No wonder Brian May and his dad built their own proper instrument.
The Wilburys one is worth approximately £5. It's an awful, awful guitar! They only sold for around £70 brand new. It was just a marketing thing to promote The Travelling Wilburys. Basically a piece of wood with a sticker on it.
I like the Rapier one though. It looks really cool and sounds unusual.
You're quite right in theory but mine has been set up by a guitar tec until then it was unplayable. Take a look at Phil Walker playing it live in the Guitar Files and let me know what you think!
TheGuitarCollection I bought one. I played one. I fixed one. I gave one away. 🤣
Seriously tho, its a little gimmick guitar.
It’s okay and I could get a tune out of it.
My only point was, it was kinda funny to see some dude wanting it valued on tele.
The other guitars look real interesting.
I’m not one of these high end guitar snobs. I just thought it was funny. 😊👍🏻
TheGuitarCollection I know my stuff. As do you, lad.
We both know what we’re on about.
Btw, that guitar would be a reasonable slide option. The pickup was quite suited for that and the scale length of the neck was quite compact, if I remember correctly. I’m going back maybe 25-30 years.
@@marcuswilson3485 You're right, it would be great for slide!
@@marcuswilson3485 But still collectable today as many guitars from back in the day are...
This is no good.
A guitar collection must be all Stratocasters.
They're all different. This is the brown one like the one that Clapton used on this track and here's the black one like the one that he used on that track and sold for so much.
There's also this one like the one that Buddy Guy uses and this one like that Jimi played. Did you know he used to play his upside down.
Then there's this one that Mark Knoffler played when I saw him at the NEC, he used to be in Dire Straits. His is the same colour as the one played by Hank Marvin who uses the whammy bar.
It all goes back to a guy called Buddy Holly who died.
Now that's a guitar collection.
Yes i agree but you need "deeper pockets" than mine to buy stuff like that!
you are delusional!!
@@fortunatoofamontillado1059 Haha
Just a lump of wood with six strings on it.
But a bit of musical history too!
TWAT
@@minder4u1 Why did you call your self that?
@@GuitarCollectionUK Guitars are meant to be played.
Very basic but still guitar history!
These guitars are junk...they are simple old cheap guitars, I had a few of these, I would not want to gig with these.
A bit of history though....
@@GuitarCollectionUK sure...and great for collecting, but for playing, yikes, sure you can play them, but their playability is way down. what’s funny is we would go to pawn shops back in the late 70’s early 80’s buy these and then smash them on stage as an encore.... lol wish I had them for selling now..
@@nasticanasta I know lots of us say that now!!
@@nasticanasta Oh no!!!
I gig with these sort of guitars all the time. Set up well there's absolutely nothing wrong with them.
Bunch of crap.👎😜
All comments appreciated and no offence taken! Best wishes!
Not one broken neck Gibson in the lot..lol...
@@williamyanosko4010 Thanks for your comments. Yes, you're right no broken Gibson necks yet but then I only have one...the Victory and it spends most of its time in a case!! LOL
@@GuitarCollectionUK who was the player who played your guitar..I feel as if I should know who it is...lol...I really like the ones with the offbeat shapes... they really are like pieces of art.... for a while I was into collecting 60s Japanese guitars.. I had a silvertone Bobkat that was cool, but it got stolen right after I fixed it so it was playable..lol...left if outside my door one night when I was bringing a bunch of gear in...dont give up on learning to play some of those cool guitars...I got an F in music in middle school and didn't start playing until age 49....I got a few years of lessons and now have about 10 vids on my you tube channel...
@@williamyanosko4010 Thanks for your comments! I also have a Bobcat but not in great condition. I really feel for you that yours was stolen...all my guitars mean a lot to me and I would be devastated to lose any! Yes they are works of art and the history of R n R after all. I'll sub your channel! Best wishes.
