 So I've been playing guitar for a long time and I've accumulated quite a few instruments here. This is my current selection from my Guitar closet. I'm going to go through some of these in this video and open these cases up show you guys what I've got Talk about the stories behind some of my favorites And maybe I'll plug a couple of them in and play a little bit and show you what they sound like And maybe we'll see if we can get that one right there to work. It's been a while anyway stick around All right, so first up one of my favorites. This is a regal parlor guitar from 1940 something best I can tell I've tried to Look it up. If anybody has the information about this, you know, please let me know in the comments But this is a cool guitar, I think it still has the original dust on it Just kidding about that Some of my instruments are a little dusty. I just moved to a new place And I hope you had to kind of go through the full the full cleanup, but you know this thing Really good sound to it You know, it's a parlor guitar, so it's kind of a three-quarter size. Maybe not completely in tune But anyway, this is a cool one. I got this at Forest York's guitar shop in Murphy'sboro, Tennessee several years ago and It's in really good shape. It's got a few like beginning to have some little stress cracks here on the back and and You know, it may have had a couple of repairs here on this bridge This doesn't really look like the original bridge obviously, but But yeah, I love this guitar. It sounds great, and I've got a few other videos on the channel of me playing this Out in nature and playing a few songs on it. So you guys should check those out, too Anyway, let's move on to the next one So in a previous video on my channel the Jazzmaster comparison between the classic vibe Squire and the Ventera 60s I mentioned that I've had a lot of inexpensive Squire type guitars in the past a lot of experience with them and this is one of them. This is a Squire Tele This is like a the Butterscotch a Affinity model that they put out a few years ago And I think this was like a hundred bucks or something and it's super light Which I really really liked about it and I replaced the pickups with some, you know much more expensive Pickups, I'm not really exactly sure what they are Rod off, but they were some like, you know, Nashville hot one on Telecaster something and I changed the pickguard out to be a tortoise shell because I really wanted it to be like a Prince Telecaster and Obviously, it's it's filthy and it's still slack detuned from my my recent move but I need to get this thing cleaned up and put some new strings on it and Give this thing a shot again because I really enjoyed playing this I played this on stage for many years. It's great having Squire guitars as long as they play well on stage because if something happens to them and they fall off a stand It's not that big of a deal, you know, you can they're usually pretty tough This one's taken many many falls But anyway, that's kind of my my Prince copy Tele but also my my Nashville twanger, I suppose so Anyway, there you go So another inexpensive guitar that I bought purely for travel and for stage is this Gretch Electromatic so what that is electromagnetic You know, it's a little heavy. It's a solid body Gretch But it really, you know, it has these the pickups the whatever they are TV Jones style Gretch Electro something or other pickups, whatever they're called, but they kind of have that sound They're really kind of a good rock guitar and you know, this guitar is like a hundred and fifty bucks or two hundred bucks tops Probably depends on where you get it or you can get one used and it plays great I Bought this because we were doing some traveling with a band up play in and I needed to go to Canada and Some other places and I needed a cheap guitar I could take in a gig bag that was likely replaceable at a local guitar center if I needed to and You know, this this was okay. This this plays You know, it played good enough for those handful of shows that we did. It was a very rock oriented set and You know, this one fell off the stand a couple of times face flat right before we played and I just picked it up and it was still in tune and You know, so there's something to be said for inexpensive tough guitars like this, but anyway, that's a Gretch electromagnetic Pretty cool. I really like it. All right, this next guitar is one that I have actually never seen one exactly like this was a prototype guitar for a Nashville Nam show, I believe by J. J. Tercer, can you see that there? And yeah, I know all my my guitars are very very dusty and I'll tell you what if I get 100 likes on this video, I will Clean all of them. I promise and oil all of the necks and get all of them very nice So everybody make sure you watch all the way to the end of this one and give it a like and subscribe if you like this Type of stuff for any other other stuff on my channel Anyway, this is a cool Resonator, yeah resonator guitar Got this biscuit cone in here and It's slack tuned currently once again from the move, but I'll tune this one up in a few minutes And maybe play a little bit on it has a great sound finger picked And the pickups don't sound bad. The bridge is very, you know You know tinny kind of bridge sounding obviously, but this lipstick and the neck really has a great sound to it And you can get some jazzy tones out of it, you know considering it's a resonator guitar I'll put this one on stage a few times And it it looks great obviously because it has the big shiny biscuit and so when the lights hit it You know it reflects off into the crowd But anyway, it it's set in a window at NAMM in the sun And so it kind of naturally yellowed through all of this so it looks like it's really old although this is probably like a 90s Anyway, Jay Tercer They make several other guitars, but I've never actually seen this particular one in any other pictures online But if you know anything about it, leave me a comment. Let me know something more about it. I would love to learn more So this is my epiphone es 295 special edition Scotty more model I believe it is and See the epiphone there this one has Custom or sorry replacement Gibson tuners and replacement Gibson P90s I think everything else on it is pretty well stock Saw this thing hanging in For Shorq's guitar store It was his own personal guitar that he had fixed up and decided to get rid of from his large collection And I was in it with my wife and it was our anniversary and she really liked it and said you should buy that and I said I should buy that and so I did and It has the nickname of C3PO or Star Wars family. So This is this is C3PO. I'll definitely plug this one in and play this one in just a little bit Once again, that is a ES 295 believe it says Sounds fantastic, especially with those different P90 pickups very very hot All right, so every guitarist has to have a Stratocaster of some kind This is mine. This is my oldest guitar. I have worked on it a lot I've changed The pickguard and the pickups multiple times The only thing really original You know is the neck and the I guess the tuners are probably original But this is a Fender Japan Stratocaster When I was a senior in high school, I could have bought us a class ring as lots of my Classmates are doing but I chose to take the money and go to the local music store and buy a guitar anyway because I thought that would last longer and Funny story, they all had their class rings stolen at something else some event They were at they put them in the lockers and somebody stole them and unfortunately, but I still have my guitar So, you know, I think I came out the winner on that one But I almost never play this anymore. It's it's mostly just memories and if I really needed a Strat sound I would pull it out and tune it up, but I have so many other guitars It doesn't get a whole lot of play, but anyway, very sentimental to me. I've had it for a long time 20 plus years probably Fender Stratocaster, here you go the Epiphone Casino, this is a 90s model Epiphone Casino Very light obviously the pickguard I've removed it almost immediately This is my number one guitar my favorite guitar of my history in fact I have the serial number and the f-hole from this tattoo to my arm such a memory when I was in the the band in the Mid 90s or so when we made our second record we had a budget to buy some instruments and So this was mine So I got to go down to the Epiphone factory in Nashville on Massman Drive And they had a rack of these different colors and I played them and I picked this one this was my favorite one and I've played it on most every album that I've been on since then I've played it You know numerous shows I've played it on TV This is my this is my guitar that up would potentially run back into a burning house to grab I'm just kidding on that one. I would let the insurance take care of it, but At any rate it may not be super valuable on the marketplace, but it's super valuable to me anyway There you go Epiphone Casino Guess I should show my old-school strap buttons here got my spiderman face a run DMC button Sure, if you can see that hopefully that's coming through on the camera But anyway, love having some buttons on my strap there Yes, the Fender Jazzmaster Ventera for doing a couple of videos on this guitar on my channel So, you know if you're interested in more detail review You can see that I just did a one-year later review on this guitar This is my current favorite guitar not to take anything away from the Epiphone Casino, but you know This is the one I'm currently playing the most Fender Jazzmaster Ventera medium-gauge strings on this one most people me think that's a little heavy, but You know, I kind of like it it adds a little more chunk to the guitar. I don't play a lot of lead on this It's mostly rhythm and and jazz type stuff. I Mean, I don't know. This is a guitar or not, but it has six strings. It's a Pirellas Ben Jotar Kit Joe, I don't know whatever you would call this, but it has six strings and Snarehead like a banjo and It's currently only has four strings on it is tuned up like a ukulele But it has a time had six strings on it This one has a small crack in the headstock here And so I hesitate to tune it all the way up to full concert pitch I usually do like a step flat or something just for the sake of it But you know, that's a pretty cool looking little instrument there play this a lot on the With the tinder innards band could have a bluegrass country band. Maybe I'll put a link in the description for some of that Music, I think there's some videos out on YouTube anyway, weird instrument And this is a dental electro baritone guitar. I'm not really doing my basses or my Slide guitars in this video. It's just normal six string guitars, but this one does have six strings Den electro baritone. I think I got this for 200 bucks used or something It was in the shop and I saw it week after week and and I was bringing one of my kids in there for their Music lessons or their band practice or something and I was like, okay if that guitar is still there at the end of the month I'm gonna have to just go ahead and get it and it was there And so now I have a dental electro baritone. This thing sounds really cool I've done a few tracks for some YouTube videos with this Kind of run through a semi distorted kind of swampy guitar Sound and I'll probably do a video just about this one pretty soon I see that people like baritone guitars these days and this one certainly has a Unique sound to it with these lipstick pickups. So maybe get my silver tone amp out and get this thing plugged in and See what? So we can do Cool, you might dental electro baritone All right, so I guess if you've stuck around now you get to see this thing this DG 20 There's been a few videos about these guitars out Not a lot of them are working these days. I think this one is working when last I tried I'm going to see if I can get it plugged in and Make some sounds come out and maybe I'll do a secondary video on that It's missing a string. I think I may have a replacement string for this in a box somewhere I need to go through and dig I acquired this guitar from the band self and It may actually technically not be mine. It may still be the Halfies, but at any rate I have it Matt if you want it, let me know I'll send it to you But until then I'm gonna see if I can get it working. They use this on the dysmontry album. That was a toy album Anyway DG 20 pretty crazy looking guitar. These are pretty cool sounding but very difficult to play Unless you just want to kind of do some power chords or single note stuff cool Well, thanks for watching my video about all my guitars and I hope you enjoyed it You know leave me a comment if you having me to say about any of these or if you have any questions or Know some extra details that I might want to know that I didn't share in the video about some of these models I'd love to hear it.
